1272 Disperse
According to the information he received from the Empire’s Holy Court, Fang Heng was the instigator of the plague. Did the plague spread from the Land of Plague?
Tang Mingyue and Tang Mo denied this.
However, just hearing about the plague aura and the Land of Plague made him feel that the two were related.
No matter what, the recent leak of the plague had caused the entire Empire to panic.
Now, there was news that the ghost tower could resist the plague?
Regardless of whether or not they had signed a contract with Fang Heng to build a mage tower, they all expressed their concern after receiving the news. More than a dozen Empire feudal lords who were close to Fang Heng immediately rushed over on their griffins to investigate.
Sure enough, everything was just as Chadwick had said. The mage tower had the effect of dispelling the plague aura in the surroundings!
No one in the crowd was more excited than Chadwick.
A bad thing turned into a good thing!
If he could build more ghost towers in his territory, he would undoubtedly gain the greatest advantage.
After all, the Mage Association, which had always looked down on others, had just taken the initiative to approach him and discuss with him about working together to build Lincoln City into a new holy land for mages!
There were also quite a few feudal lords who had secretly approached him, offering to provide him with some construction resources for free, hoping that he could help talk to Fang Heng and consider building a mage tower in their territory as soon as possible.
Chadwick looked pleased.
It had been a long time since he had enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by people.
Not to mention that he was surrounded by so many Empire feudal lords!
Chadwick led a few feudal lords of the Empire to Fang Heng’s side and whispered, “Lord Fang Heng, I just borrowed some supplies from some old friends. They are all on the way here, and I’m sure we can make it in time to start construction. Do you think we can use the ghost tower to teleport?”
“Yes, of course. The sooner the better. We, the Land of Plague, will also provide assistance.”
Fang Heng nodded happily and shifted his gaze to the people beside Lord Chadwick.
“Hahaha, Lord Fang Heng, we meet again.”
Lord Bohr was slightly older than the other feudal lords. He had a face full of white stubble and a smile on his face. He patted Fang Heng’s shoulder warmly and asked, “Remember our agreement to build a mage tower? When will you come to our territory to take a look?”
Fang Heng looked at Lord Bohr and said hesitantly, “Aren’t you afraid of trouble regarding His Highness Tang Wu?”
Lord Bohr had a look of disdain and retorted, “Afraid? Ha, who didn’t know that Tang Wu was fooled by the people of the Holy Court? He even shamelessly boasted that the source of the plague aura is the Land of Plague. I’ll help you bombard him the next time I see him!”
Beside him, a pretty female player revealed a surprised look on her face.
Zhuo Lingfang was a newcomer who had just joined Li Xue’s company. Coincidentally, she had just arrived in Lincoln City. After receiving news from Li Xue, she spent a lot of effort to find Fang Heng.
Zhuo Lingfang was shocked when she saw Fang Heng chatting happily with the various feudal lords.
She had heard from Li Xue that the team’s in-game plan was not progressing well.
Tang Mingyue and Tang Mo started to ‘persuade’ the feudal lords to pledge their loyalty to them last night.
The effect was very poor. It was only now that they successfully convinced two feudal lords of the Empire to be loyal. They were all feudal lords who had good personal relationships with Tang Mo. The remaining feudal lords were even more difficult to convince.
Why did Lord Fang Heng seem to be very familiar with these feudal lords?
Furthermore, the feudal lord had a favor to ask Fang Heng?
Hearing Lord Bohr’s words, Zhuo Lingfang’s heart thumped wildly. She couldn’t help but say, “Lord Bohr, so you will choose to stand on Her Highness Mingyue’s side, right?”
“And this is?”
Lord Bohr felt threatened. He looked at Zhuo Lingfang with displeasure.
Zhuo Lingfang noticed that Lord Bohr’s expression was unfriendly and immediately realized that she had said something wrong. She shrunk her neck and looked at Fang Heng with a pleading gaze.
Fang Heng had already seen the expressions of the feudal lords and their whispers.
It seemed like these feudal lords cared a lot about the ghost tower. Could he trick them into pledging their loyalty to Tang Mingyue? When the time came, he would think of a way to make a fortune.
Thinking about it, Fang Heng laughed and probed, “Hahaha, this is Her Highness Mingyue’s retinue. A portion of the resources for the construction of the mage tower was provided by Her Highness Mingyue, and she was also here to escort the resources. The guard was concerned about Her Highness Mingyue, and in a moment of desperation, she said something inappropriate. I hope that the feudal lords will not take offense.”
Bohr immediately put on a kind smile and replied, “So you’re Her Highness Mingyue’s retinue. No, no, not in the least.”
“Lord Bohr, and all the feudal lords, I’m afraid everyone knows that I’ve already sworn my allegiance to Her Highness Mingyue.”
“Everyone knows about the Empire’s situation. The Tier 2 ghost tower has the ability to teleport and all the teleportation arrays are interconnected. In order to prevent people from using the ghost tower’s teleportation ability to carry out long-distance military operations, the construction of the mage tower in His Highness Tang Mo’s territory will be suspended. We will first start planning the construction of the mage tower in Her Highness Mingyue’s territory. Please understand.”
Fang Heng looked apologetic and nodded to everyone, “Of course, after the disputes in the Empire are over, I will still complete the contract with you and assist you in building your mage tower.”
The feudal lords understood immediately. It meant the same thing, but it sounded a little too good.
He would think of a way to build a mage tower after this matter was over, but how long would that take?
“Lord Fang Heng is truly thoughtful.”
Lord Bohr was already mentally prepared to pledge allegiance to Tang Mingyue when he came.
His territory had also encountered the leakage of the plague.
Although the degree of leakage was not as terrifying as that of Lincoln City, and he had already temporarily hired people to completely clear out the surrounding area, he still felt uneasy and worried that things would get worse.
Lord Bohr looked at Fang Heng and said seriously, “Lord Fang Heng, I understand what you want to say. I’ll be straightforward. When you come to our territory to build a mage tower, I’ll immediately swear my loyalty to Her Highness Mingyue.”
“Yes, yes, there’s also us. We will also swear our loyalty to Her Highness Mingyue.”
The feudal lords present had witnessed the tragic state of Lincoln City when the plague spread.
The current situation of the Empire was unclear, and there was a plague that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The situation was still under control, but what if the plague suddenly appeared in their territory?
Should they go find Tang Wu?
Didn’t Chadwick go to Tang Wu first and what was the result?
Tang Wu did not even give a damn!
Lord Fang Heng was more reliable.
Although some feudal lords still felt that the plague was too coincidental, it was even possible that Lord Fang Heng had directed and acted on his own. Unfortunately, all of this was only at the stage of suspicion.
Now that things had developed to this point, no one wanted to fall out with Fang Heng because of some groundless suspicion.
What if they still had to rely on Fang Heng in the future?
Building a ghost tower in the territory was the right way to save their lives.
