1233 Profited?
The Empire’s elite glanced at Chadwick who was beside Deng Wen and said in a deep voice, “Yes, we have searched the city carefully and only found a few undead creatures. With the help of the Empire’s mage team, we quickly cleared the area, and we didn’t find any other traces of the enemies.”
Why wasn’t anyone there?
Did they run away?
That was impossible. There were so many undead creatures and also a group of people from the Empire.
How did they manage to escape in such a short time?
Chadwick opened his mouth and was about to ask when he saw a familiar soldier running over from a distance.
“Reporting to Your Lordship!”
The soldier glanced at General Deng Wen who was next to Chadwick and hesitated.
“Speak!”
“Yes! Your Lordship, we have just checked the military warehouse in the city and your private warehouse. We found that a large number of materials stored in the warehouse have been cleared out, leaving only a small portion of abandoned and invalid materials. In addition, all the materials that we have seized before have disappeared.”
“What?!”
Upon hearing this, Chadwick’s heart skipped a beat, and he almost fainted on the spot.
His eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed the soldier and stared at him. He asked, “Are you sure? All gone?”
The soldier’s forehead was covered in sweat. He knew that this was a matter of great importance and didn’t speak carelessly. He quickly nodded and continued, “My Lord, we’ve checked a few times, and there’s really nothing left.”
F*ck!
Bandits!
A group of bandits! They ransacked the entire city’s warehouse and ran away!
It was like seeing a ghost!
The resources in the private warehouse were his savings for decades!
In less than half a day, they were all robbed!
Chadwick surged with anger.
But…
How did they do it?
General Deng Wen also had a suspicious look on his face.
This was very strange.
When he arrived with his team, he immediately surrounded the entire city. He was sure that the enemy had not escaped, and his men had not been attacked.
They were talking about living people and they were carrying so many supplies. Did they actually sneak away right under his nose?
How did they do it?
The other feudal lords of the Empire also had the same thought. One of them couldn’t help but look at Chadwick and asked, “Are there any other secret passages in the city that lead to the outside world?”
“That’s impossible… This is impossible…”
However, the truth was staring right in front of him. Chadwick was a little unconfident. He muttered to himself blankly, “There can’t be another secret passage in the city that I don’t know about.”
While they were talking, another soldier rushed forward and said, “Reporting, Commander! We found a Tier 2 mage tower in the abandoned mining area. We suspect that the enemy might have used the Tier 2 mage tower to teleport out of the city.”
The mage tower!
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Chadwick.
This idiot! Why didn’t he tell them that there was a Tier 2 teleportation mage tower in the city?
With a mage tower, wouldn’t it be easy to transport a large number of resources?
That was impossible!
Chadwick’s first reaction was that it was impossible.
What damned mage tower!
Since when did his territory have a Tier 2 mage tower?
When did this happen?
As a feudal lord, how could he not know?
“That’s impossible…”
The moment the words came out of his mouth, Chadwick suddenly realized something.
Could it be…
He remembered that about two days ago, he and Fang Heng had signed a Tier 2 mage tower construction agreement, agreeing to build a Tier 2 mage tower in his territory.
Initially, he had discussed with Mo Jiawei that he had already prepared most of the construction materials and was just waiting for the site to be selected.
Could it be…
A terrifying thought rose in Chadwick’s mind.
Could it be that Fang Heng had built a Tier 2 mage tower in his territory in just one afternoon?
He even used the teleportation ability of a Tier 2 mage tower to teleport resources and undead troops.
Was this a bluff?
But how did he do it?
Deng Wen saw the ghostly expression on Chadwick’s face and asked in a deep voice, “What’s going on?”
Chadwick’s throat rolled, and his thoughts were going wild. He muttered, “I suddenly thought, is it possible… This Tier 2 mage tower was built by Fang Heng of the Land of Plague not long ago?”
Everyone looked at Lord Chadwick as if they were looking at a complete fool.
A new one?
Did Fang Heng build a Tier 2 mage tower in just one afternoon?
Who was he trying to fool?
However, after thinking about it carefully, there were only a few cities in the Empire that had Tier 2 mage towers, and Lincoln City was clearly not one of them.
Then, what was the deal with the mage tower that was discovered in the city?
Soon, everyone fell into silence.
Deng Wen could not help but frown and said in a deep voice, “Go! Take us to the mage tower.”
“Yes!”
Soon, the soldier led the army to the abandoned mining area outside the city.
Lord Chadwick had a strange expression on his face when he saw the Tier 2 mage tower that stood tall on the ground.
Really… There was really a mage tower…
The other feudal lords who had followed him also revealed looks of surprise.
“Lord Chadwick, is this mage tower really newly built?”
Seeing the mage tower with his own eyes, Chadwick was also shocked. He immediately refuted, “Of course! I swear on the honor of my family!”
“Then what’s up with it?”
In the crowd, a feudal lord said with an excited expression, “It’s Fang Heng! He must have built it here!”
After the feudal lord’s reminder, everyone also recalled the agreement that Lord Fang Heng had signed with the other feudal lords not long ago.
There were still many Empires that thought it was a scam.
Especially after the royal family announced that the Land of Plague had betrayed the country.
Those feudal lords who had rushed to sign the contract with Fang Heng before had become the laughingstock of others.
But now…
They saw with their own eyes that a mage tower was standing in front of them.
Everything could not be faked.
At this moment, a mage walked out of the mage tower.
The mage Azno was stunned to see so many people outside the door.
The Empire’s mages had also come with the army this time, and Azno was the Vice President of the mages.
Azno had immediately entered the mage tower to check it out when he saw it, and he had just come out.
“Mr. Azno!”
Someone in the party recognized Azno as one of the deputy commanders of the royal mages and nodded at him. He asked, “Have you checked the mage tower?”
Only then did Azno react. He nodded and said, “Commander Deng, I’ve just checked the mage tower. This is a Tier 2 ghost tower with the undead element. The mage tower’s construction traces are very new, and it was indeed built not too long ago. There are also signs of a teleportation spell being activated, so it must have teleported something through the teleportation passage not long ago.”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and began to whisper.
It was true! Everything was real!
It wasn’t a big deal for Fang Heng to escape from the heavy encirclement, but the fact that the Land of Plague could build a mage tower in just half a day shocked them!
If this news were to spread out, it would definitely cause a huge uproar among the various feudal lords in the Empire.
Suddenly, the feudal lords looked at Chadwick with envy.
He had profited!
