1309 Strategy
“He just left two hours ago. He said he had something very important to do, so he left in a hurry.”
Younica raised her eyebrows in surprise.
She was very curious about Fang Heng.
She had previously triggered a special mission and entered a special space to cultivate. She had left the game for less than half a month. She did not expect that the entire game would have undergone earth-shattering changes when she returned.
And the source of all these changes was a player in an elementary game?
Younica was extremely curious about Fang Heng. She had already flipped through all the information about Fang Heng on the way.
She realized that there was someone controlling the entire mission line.
Without a doubt, that person was Fang Heng.
He was the key to the entire abyssal demon storyline mission!
This battle was extremely important, and it was almost time for the final battle with Tang Wu’s team. Once Tang Wu’s army was completely wiped out, Tang Wu would no longer have the ability to turn the tables. It could be said that this would determine the final loyalty of the Empire.
Under such circumstances, Fang Heng wasn’t here?
Did he become someone who just gives off commands for others to do?
“Before Fang Heng left, he said that he would leave the Empire to us and that the sacred tree would fully cooperate with us.”
Ed explained with a bitter smile.
Fang Heng’s trust in others made Li Xue’s team feel a lot of pressure.
“Something important…”
Younica frowned and muttered to herself. She raised her head and asked, “What important matter?”
“I’m not sure. It seems to be related to the Holy Court.”
Younica’s frown deepened.
Ed continued, “At noon, Lord Fang Heng asked about the Book of Oaths of the Holy Court. After that, Li Xue collected a lot of information offline. She then rushed to Ochebrino and wanted to find a guide there. Li Xue’s team is already in contact.”
“Ochebrino…You mean the headquarters of the Holy Court?”
Younica looked at the foot of the mountain in the distance. She looked at the 50-odd members of the Holy Court’s army and muttered to herself with a suspicious expression, “It has something to do with the Holy Court…It seems like the Holy Court is an extremely important part of the mission.”
…
At this moment, Fang Heng, Mo Jiawei, and Zhuo Lingfang were hiding in a corner of a small city in the northern part of the Empire.
Twenty minutes ago, the three of them had just sneaked into the city after avoiding the inspection at the city entrance. They had put on the one-time high-quality human skin masks prepared by Li Xue’s team.
“Lord Fang Heng, this city is called Ochebrino. It’s a small city in the north. The feudal lord of this territory has sworn allegiance to Tang Wu. Most of the people in the city are believers in the Holy Court. We don’t know anyone here.”
Zhuo Lingfang explained softly.
“I contacted a local guide. He doesn’t know our true identity yet. For safety reasons, be careful when talking to him. Don’t expose your identity.”
“Oh right, the human skin mask can last for eight hours. Once we enter the battle, the human skin mask might lose its effectiveness. We have to pay attention to the time.”
As a player who had come with Fang Heng this time, Zhuo Lingfang was unusually nervous. She would log off every ten minutes to report the situation to Li Xue’s team.
“Yes.”
Fang Heng nodded.
As far as he knew, in the barbarian realm game, there weren’t many players who learned sacred study.
Zhuo Lingfang’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she said softly, “He’s here!”
Looking in the direction of the sound, a middle-aged man was walking towards the path, looking around sneakily.
“Yimamu!”
The man called Yimamu paused when he heard the shout. He turned around and saw Fang Heng and the others. He immediately walked toward them.
Judging from his appearance, Yimamu was slightly older, and his eyes revealed a shrewd look.
“I am Yimamu, who is the Pupil of Rain?”
Yimamu’s gaze quickly swept across Fang Heng and the others.
Zhuo Lingfang nodded and said, “It’s me. We contacted each other online before.”
Yimamu sized up Zhuo Lingfang and continued, “I’ve been developing in this city. I know everything about the city. You guys are going to complete a mission, right? The price will be the same as when we contacted you online. Is that okay?”
“No problem.”
[Hint: The game has determined that the player in the current trial has a slight tendency to rely on other players to complete the mission. The corresponding proportion of the player’s trial mission score is slightly deducted (the current deduction ratio is 0.002%). The current mission score is SS.]
[Hint: Player to adjust your trial strategy in time.]
Fang Heng frowned slightly when he saw the game notification.
He was too careless.
During this period of time, he had let his guard down a little. He had interacted too much with the players and had been punished by the trial.
Mo Jiawei also received the game notification and immediately looked at Fang Heng to ask.
Fang Heng shook his head subtly.
There was no need to stop, continue!
Borrowing the power of the players could save a lot of time.
Currently, the game had judged that there was only a slight tendency. He would take a look and see if the punishment was within an acceptable range to test the balance of the game.
Fang Heng took over and looked at Yimamu, asking, “Yimamu, how much do you know about the Holy Court in this city?”
“There are so many of them. If we were to talk about them for a whole day, we wouldn’t be able to finish talking about them. Let me just say a few words. More than 90% of the people living in this city are fanatics of the Holy Court. The largest Holy Court Cathedral in the Empire is also built here. It’s not an exaggeration to say that this is the headquarters of the Holy Court.”
Yimamu pointed at the tall mountain in the distance and said, “See that? That’s the Holy Mountain of the Holy Church. The Holy Church is built on the top of the mountain. Every day, believers will come thousands of miles to the church on the top of the mountain for pilgrimage.”
They couldn’t help but look in the direction Yimamu was pointing.
“I don’t think you’re believers of the Holy Court, right?”
Yimamu looked as if he had seen through them. As he spoke, he carefully looked around.
“Usually, everyone in the city is the eyes and ears of the Holy Court. As long as any strange person appears, they will be targeted.”
“You’re lucky. The archbishop of the Holy Court suddenly died two days ago, and there were also some chaotic matters regarding the abyssal demon. In the past two days, more and more Holy Court believers have entered the city to take refuge. There are many outsiders in the city, and it’s very chaotic. The inspection is far less strict than before.”
Fang Heng rubbed his chin.
Based on the information he had obtained from Li Xue’s team, there was a high chance that the Book of Oaths was stored in the headquarters of the Holy Court.
And that would be Ochebrino, which was where they were now.
It was very likely that it was stored in the cathedral on the Holy Mountain.
“What’s wrong? Is your mission related to the Holy Court?”
Yimamu looked at them and said, “There’s no need to hide it. I know the rules. I won’t ask or interfere. However, let’s make one thing clear in advance. If it’s a mission against the Holy Court, I’ll cut ties with you immediately if anything happens. After all, I’m still planning to stay in the Holy Court. Well, it’s not impossible to talk about it unless you’re willing to pay for the transfer.”
