1277 A Dark Move

…

In the Imperial City, the Empire royal guard had just escorted Tang Wu back to the palace on his griffins.

This time, he personally convinced two Empire feudal lords to pledge their loyalty. Several lords around the Imperial City also surrendered. Tang Wu was in a very good mood.

“What’s wrong?”

He had just sat on the throne and had yet to enjoy it when Tang Wu noticed that Ding s.h.i.+xiu’s expression was not too good.

“Your Majesty, this is the report that the Tianshu Academy just provided.”

“Hand it over.”

Tang Wu received the report from the guard. After opening it and reading it line by line, his expression became worse and worse.

“Bang!”

Tang Wu’s eyes reddened as he slammed the report on the table!

“What happened?”

He had gone through a lot of trouble to convince two feudal lords to surrender, but before he could celebrate, five feudal lords had already surrendered to Tang Mingyue.

“His Majesty, please calm down. We’ve found out that the cause of the incident was Lord Chadwick of Lincoln City.”

The Tianshu Academy had always been the department responsible for collecting intelligence for the royal family. The commander of the Tianshu Academy, Pedelio, immediately stepped forward and reported the information he had gathered to Tang Wu.

“Ghost tower? Can it dispel the plague?”

In the hall, everyone could not help but whisper when they heard this.

“Are you saying that Lord Fang Heng helped solve the crisis in Lincoln City and dispelled the plague, so Lord Chadwick swore allegiance to Tang Mingyue?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Tang Wu frowned.

He had indeed personally ordered them to ignore Lincoln City’s life and death, but Fang Heng and the others had taken advantage of the situation.

But even if Fang Heng really spent a lot of effort to deal with the plague aura, what about the other feudal lords

“What about the others? Even if Lord Chadwick was excusable, why did so many feudal lords swear allegiance to Tang Mingyue?”

“Your Majesty, there are rumors that Lord Fang Heng can help build a Tier 2 mage tower in a very short time. Moreover, the mage tower can dispel the plague.”

Ding s.h.i.+xiu reported, “Currently, due to the outbreak of the plague in various parts of the world, in order to prevent the spread of the plague, all the feudal lords are in danger. In addition, building the ghost tower for free is already extremely attractive. As a result, the various feudal lords are trying to befriend Lord Fang Heng, hoping to use this opportunity to obtain the qualifications to build a mage tower.”

Pedelio added, “In addition, Tianshu Academy has investigated and Tang Mingyue has spread the news that the number of ghost towers built is limited. The feudal lords are on a first-come, first-served basis.”

As Tang Wu listened, he clenched his fists tighter and tighter. His body could not help but tremble in anger.

Using the ghost tower to tempt the various feudal lords to surrender?

It seemed that most of the feudal lords of the Empire were ready to join Tang Mingyue.

Just to build a few mage towers?

“What about the Mage a.s.sociation? Why would they cooperate with Tang Mingyue?”

Tang Wu really couldn’t figure it out.

The Mage a.s.sociation was so arrogant. They didn’t even listen to the royal family’s orders in the past. What medicine have they taken this time?

Why did they choose to pledge loyalty to Fang Heng so easily? Why did they have to go against him?

The hall fell into a brief silence.

Not to mention Tang Wu, the others couldn’t figure it out either.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Tang Wu became even angrier and shouted, “Say something! Why isn’t anyone talking now?”

“Pedelio! Tell me! What did your Tianshu Academy find out?”

Pedelio’s face stiffened when he was called out. He braced himself and took half a step forward, explaining, “Your Majesty, we are also investigating this matter. We suspect that Lord Fang Heng might be involved. In addition, we believe that Lord Fang Heng has already taken up the position of Vice President of the Mage a.s.sociation. The Mage a.s.sociation will be vigorously promoting the study of necromancy.”

Tang Wu gritted his teeth and spat out two words, “Fang Heng! ”

Fang Heng again!

He was the one who created the Land of Plague and the ghost tower. Now, he was even trying to interfere in the Mage a.s.sociation!

Tang Wu never expected that everything would collapse so quickly because of Fang Heng!

With Fang Heng around, how could he fight for the throne of the royal family? Just surrender quickly!

In the silence, Archbishop Karkkila stepped forward and said in a deep voice, “Your Majesty, please calm down. In my opinion, I’m afraid that all of this is Lord Fang Heng’s plan.”

Tang Wu’s chest heaved up and down as he suppressed the anger in his heart.

Everyone turned to look at Karkkila.

Karkkila had been reinforcing the Holy Barrier, and he looked a little tired. He felt even more mentally exhausted.

The Holy Court had always regarded necromancy as evil, and for thousands of years, they had been spreading the threat of necromancy.

He didn’t expect the Mage a.s.sociation to publicly promote the study of necromancy! This undoubtedly made the entire Holy Court feel great danger.

“Your Majesty, as far as I know, the ghost tower is ineffective against the plague aura. I’m afraid that Lord Fang Heng spread this rumor to gain the loyalty of more Empire feudal lords. ”

“Such a strategy may be effective for a short period of time, but it won’t be able to deceive him for a long time. As long as we wait a little longer, we will naturally be able to find his weakness and give him a fatal blow!”

Tang Wu also calmed down after hearing this.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.

These words did not have any practical effect, but they could slightly stabilize his mentality.

“Hmm, that makes sense. I’ll send someone to clarify the rumors first.”

“Your Majesty, with all due respect, we’re already a step too late. I’m afraid we won’t be able to win the trust of more feudal lords if we continue to clarify the rumors now.”

Tang Wu was already unhappy and asked, “Then what do you think we should do?”

“To share Your Majesty’s worries, I previously discussed with Mr. Ding s.h.i.+xiu and formulated three strategies for Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty can make a decision.”

“Oh?”

Tang Wu asked in surprise, “What are the three strategies? Tell me quickly!”

Karkkila took half a step back and gestured for Ding s.h.i.+xiu to step forward.

Ding s.h.i.+xiu said in a deep voice, “Your Majesty, Tianshu Academy has heard that there is a shortage of materials for the construction of the ghost tower. According to Tang Mingyue, it is due to the lack of magic cores. For this reason, Tang Mingyue has even offered a large sum of money to purchase the raw materials for the production of magic cores.”

“The Mage a.s.sociation actually gave Tang Mingyue the formula to create a magic core. I’ll remember this first, and I’ll slowly settle the score with them in the future.”

Tang Wu temporarily held back his anger and tapped his fingers on the armrest. He pondered and asked, “Are you saying that we can stop them from using raw materials? The feudal lords of the Empire might have hidden a small portion of the elemental crystals, but they might not listen to us.”

“No, it’s not like that, Your Majesty. As far as I know, there are still many elemental crystals in the Empire’s inventory. We can use this opportunity to trade the useless elemental crystals in the Empire’s inventory with them. Of course, we need to do things in secret and trade with Fang Heng in the name of an Empire’s feudal lord.”

“What did you say? Are you guys crazy?!”

Tang Wu was stunned when he heard that. He wondered if Ding s.h.i.+xiu was crazy.

What would you give the enemy what they lacked?

Was he out of his mind?
