Chapter 1237 - 1237 Turmoil

1237 Turmoil

“Wait! Your Highness Mingyue! Wait for me!”

Hearing the shout from behind, Fang Heng suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the entrance of the city wall.

A soldier of the Empire waved at them as he quickly chased after them.

There was actually someone who was secretly following them.

!!
How troublesome!

Fang Heng muttered to himself. He moved quickly and dashed toward the man.

The Empire’s soldier saw Fang Heng rushing toward him and immediately felt an extremely strong oppressive aura coming from the front. In a panic, he waved to Tang Mingyue and said, “We’re together! I’m Ed’s friend! We’re on the same side!”

Eh?

Player?

Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat. He stopped in front of the man and asked in a deep voice, “What’s going on? Where’s Ed?”

Wu Shijiang heaved a huge sigh of relief.

The overwhelming pressure made him feel a little breathless.

“Calm down and speak slowly.”

Wu Shijiang composed himself.

Ever since the team was in trouble, he had been looking for an opportunity to hide in the dark and had been online and offline to report the situation. When he had just come online, he suddenly found that the north gate was being attacked by the barbarian race. Before he could figure out the situation, he saw Tang Mingyue and the others leaving from the north gate, so he immediately rushed over.

“Earlier, Commander Ed led a large group of people into the Empire’s city to investigate. I followed the team’s arrangement to hide among the guards at the north gate. I went offline to report the news at any time.”

Mo Jiawei continued to ask, “Where are they now?” How’s their mission going?”

“We’ve run into big trouble with the mission. When the team entered the underground palace, they discovered the mutated soldiers that Salvador was secretly researching. They were extremely powerful, and it took us a lot of effort to defeat them.”

“After that, we encountered the Empire’s soldiers who came to help, but Salvador and his men blocked them. In order to protect everyone, Tang Mo and the other commanders chose to stay and were temporarily detained by Empire.”

The mission had failed?

Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat and he quickly glanced at the game log.

No, the mission was still in the process of being executed, and the time was still ticking. Wei Tao and Mikhael had not left the trial either. At least, they were not dead.

Fang Heng lowered his head and assessed the current situation. Then he continued to ask, “Tang Mo is now trapped in prison? Do you know where it is?”

“Yes.”

Wu Shijiang nodded and said, “I know they’re being detained in the inner city. I’ll have to go offline to find out their exact location. I’m sure I can find it.”

“Yes, be quick.”

Wu Shijiang nodded. His figure suddenly faded in the air, and his movements and expressions completely stiffened.

Two minutes later, Wu Shijiang’s body gradually recovered, and his wooden face gradually revealed a serious expression.

“Lord Fang Heng, Salvador is in the main hall interrogating Tang Mo and the others. There are guards on the third and outer third floors of the main hall, as well as the Empire’s sword saint and royal mages. If we go in now, we’ll be courting death.”

“Commander told us to retreat first and then think of a way to rescue Tang Mo and the others. We now have evidence of the Empire’s secret research. Although it is not complete, we should be able to persuade some people to overthrow Salvador’s rule with our many years of relationship.”

Fang Heng couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

With the protection of the Empire sword saint and a large number of Empire guards, and with the fact that Salvador was not easy to deal with, it would be difficult to force his way through.

Tang Mingyue thought for a while, then whispered in Fang Heng’s ear, “Fang Heng, even if the royal guards are not here, the internal defense of the Imperial City is still extremely terrifying. It is indeed difficult to attack by force. Let’s come back later to think of a way to save Wei Tao and the others.”

Fang Heng touched his chin and raised his head to look at Tang Mingyue.

It was better to change the strategy than to force their way through the layers of guards to save Tang Mo.

For example…

Go to the underground palace and complete the mission!

Being stared at by Fang Heng, Tang Mingyue blinked her eyes blankly, “Meh? What’s the matter?”

Fang Heng asked, “The high-level guards of the Empire are now gathered in the city to guard the royal palace. Does this mean that the guards of the underground palace are weaker?”

Without waiting for the others to answer, Fang Heng immediately made a decision and said in a deep voice, “We won’t go to the main hall to save them, nor will we retreat. We’ll go directly to the underground palace!”

The current location of the mission was the mysterious underground palace of the royal family, and there were more than two hours left.

He didn’t care about Wei Tao and Tang Mo. Running to complete the mission was the best choice!

Everyone’s eyes lit up when they heard this.

Wu Shijiang’s mouth was wide open. He didn’t expect Fang Heng to make such a choice.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Just us?”

They had gathered eight players from the top ten guilds in the barbarian game world to go to the underground palace, but they still failed to complete the mission and were almost wiped out. Now, they were going there with such a small number of people?

Was he joking?

“Hey, hey, what do you mean by that tone?” Sandy was rather unhappy as he looked at Wu Shijiang and asked, “Do you know who blew up the Empire’s ancestral grave? That’s right, the few of us!”

“No, I didn’t mean that.”

Wu Shijiang smiled apologetically, but he was also laughing bitterly in his heart.

No matter how he thought about it, he didn’t think it was a good idea to go directly to the underground palace.

Fang Heng looked at Wu Shijiang and asked, “Do you know the exact location of the underground palace?”

He was really thinking of going there?

Wu Shijiang paused for a moment and said, “Uh, I can go and ask.”

“Hurry!”

After waiting for another two minutes, Wu Shijiang hurriedly went offline.

Unlike before, Wu Shijiang’s expression was much more excited after he went online, and his eyes lit up.

“Your Highness Mingyue, Lord Fang Heng, the guards of the underground palace are very weak now. It’s the best time for us to sneak in.”

As Wu Shijiang spoke, he looked at Sandy carefully and organized his words, “But it is very dangerous below the underground palace. There are also soldiers of the Empire who have been infected and mutated. Previously, our entire team did not manage to take advantage of them. It will be extremely difficult to complete the exploration.”

‘Extremely difficult’ was already a very tactful way of saying it. In fact, Wu Shijiang felt that this mission was impossible to complete.

“However, we can think of a way to infiltrate the underground palace and gather evidence of Salvador’s secret research on the demons and his manipulation of the Empire’s royal family. With this evidence, we can convince and obtain the support of the various feudal lords and factions of the Empire, helping us overthrow Salvador’s rule. This is extremely important to us.”

While they were talking, a game prompt suddenly appeared on the retinas of Fang Heng and the other two.
