Chapter 1268 - 1268 Lobbying

1268 Lobbying

The next morning, in the Empire’s capital, Tang Wu sat on his throne and looked at the people below. He felt an unprecedented satisfaction in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

The throne of the royal family!

He had been waiting for this day for far too long!

Tang Wu turned his gaze to the Holy Court’s group and said in a deep voice, “Karkkila.”

!!
Karkkila looked unusually tired at this moment. He took half a step out of the crowd.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

“How is the situation in the inner city of the Imperial City?”

“Your Majesty, I’ve already led the Holy Court’s believers to build a Holy Light barrier in the Imperial City. It can stop the spread of the plague for a short period of time. As for completely eliminating the plague, it’s very difficult. We need to think about it carefully. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, I suggest that we build more Holy Light barriers outside.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

Tang Wu was in a good mood today, so he gave a rare compliment.

“What about the various feudal lords?”

Tang Wu’s first aide, Ding Shixiu, replied, “Your Majesty, there are already seven feudal lords in the northern region of the Empire who have sworn their allegiance to you. Most of the other feudal lords are still observing. We are currently in contact with the various feudal lords. I believe that there will be good news soon.”

Tang Wu nodded.

The northern region of the Empire had always been his base camp for many years. He had good personal relationships with these feudal lords, and he even promised them generous rewards. It was expected that he would get their loyalty.

“Alright, continue to pay close attention to the situation. We have to think of a way to win the support of more feudal lords.”

Gernot, the senator of the Council of Elders, reported, “The Council of Elders has some friends with some elders. We are willing to go to the major cities in person to persuade the feudal lords to pledge loyalty to Your Majesty.”

The smile on Tang Wu’s face grew wider. “Then I’ll have to trouble the senators of the Council of Elders to make a trip.”

Karkkila nodded as well and replied, “Your Majesty, there are also a few believers of the Holy Court in the eastern part of the Empire. I’ve already asked the regional bishop to contact them. There should be good news soon.”

“Hahaha, good! With everyone’s help, I believe the Empire will soon settle down. At that time, we will take action to deal with the abyssal demon with all our strength!”

In his joy, Tang Wu didn’t forget about his competitor, Tang Mingyue. He asked, “Right, how’s Tang Mingyue?”

Ding Shixiu replied, “Your Majesty, currently, including Hani City, only two feudal lords of the empire have sworn allegiance to Tang Mingyue.”

Tang Wu’s eyelids twitched, and his mood instantly improved.

Hani City was temporarily under Fang Heng’s control, which meant that only one feudal lord was loyal to Tang Mingyue.

Haha!

A crushing victory!

He had successfully taken control of the capital of the Empire, and the Holy Court and the Council of Elders were all on his side. The feudal lords in the north of the Empire were also close to him, and everything was going in a good direction.

How could she, Tang Mingyue, compete with him?

Tang Wu was unusually relaxed.

He didn’t even know how to lose!

An elder from the Council of Elders reported, “Your Majesty, there’s another urgent matter. We recently received a request for help from Lord Chadwick. Lincoln City has been affected by a strange, unknown black aura, and the city has fallen into great chaos.”

“We believe that it should be the spread of the plague. In addition, some of the feudal lord’s forests in the Empire have also been affected by the plague. The Empire is currently in a state of panic, thinking that a natural disaster is about to appear. ”

“Lincoln City?”

Tang Wu frowned.

It seemed that Fang Heng had been to Lincoln City before and was defeated by the army led by General Deng Wen.

Tang Wu’s mood immediately turned sour when he thought of Great General Deng Wen.

Last night, when he heard that Deng Wen had returned to the Imperial City with the Empire’s elite soldiers, he immediately went to welcome him. He didn’t expect Deng Wen to be wary and decided to station himself not far away from the Imperial City as if he was waiting for the situation to subside.

Haha.

He did not want to offend both sides?

Tang Wu sneered in his heart.

“His Majesty, the feudal lord of the Land of Plague, Fang Heng, is vicious. He spread the plague all over Empire, destroying the Empire’s stability. Lincoln City is the first to be affected by the plague. It is very dangerous to continue ignoring it.”

Ding Shixiu pondered for a moment, then glanced at the people of the Holy Court in the hall and suggested, “I wonder if we should send the Holy Court to investigate. If they can help us resolve this, we can take the opportunity to gain the loyalty of the feudal lord of Lincoln City and the recognition of the other feudal lords.”

Karkkila nodded and replied, “His Majesty, I can personally bring people to check it out and think of a way to set up a Holy Light barrier at the point where the plague aura spreads. This will temporarily stop the spread of the plague aura. However, the Holy Light barrier cannot be maintained for too long.”

“No need. Lincoln City is almost destroyed. What use do I have for him? I should think of a way to perfect the inner city’s Holy Barrier first. I want to make sure that nothing happens to the Imperial City!”

Tang Wu could not help but sneered, “Moreover, the news that Fang Heng released the plague to destroy Lincoln City will only make more people wary of the Land of Plague and make more feudal lords loyal to us. We should thank them.”

Everyone in the hall looked at each other and bowed in unison, “Your Majesty is wise.”

At the same time, in Hani City, Ed and a few other players were blocking the entrance of Qiu Yaokang’s newly built laboratory and seemed to be flustered.

Preparing for the final BOSS battle of the abyssal demon was much easier compared to the Empire’s civil strife mission which was truly hellish.

Tang Mingyue and Tang Mo were now lobbying everywhere in the Empire. They had been doing so for most of the night and only managed to convince two feudal lords to be loyal to them.

Based on the information provided by Li Xue’s team, they had personally come to find them, from easy to difficult!

The players also tried all kinds of ways to get in touch with the various feudal lords. There were also a few lucky ones who triggered related missions, but the difficulty of the missions was frighteningly high.

At this rate, there would only be fewer and fewer feudal lords who would swear loyalty to Tang Mingyue.

It couldn’t be helped, and the feudal lords couldn’t be blamed.

The difference in strength between Tang Wu and Tang Mingyue was too great. If it were them, they would also choose to wait and see.

It seemed that they have already lost half the battle before it even started.

The player team urgently needed to think of a way to raise their morale.

Li Xue’s team stayed up all night and came up with a few feasible plans. Ed had also read the proposal. He felt that the plan was well designed, but even if it was completed, the effect would be mediocre. It was better than doing nothing.

Hence, the players were prepared to discuss with Fang Heng. Then, they heard that Fang Heng had come to Qiu Yaokang’s laboratory after he had discussed it with the others last night, so they came to their doorstep.

“What? He left?”

Ed was confused when he saw a mercenary walk out of the laboratory.

“When did this happen? Where did he go?”

“About a few hours ago. It was already dawn when I left.” The mercenaries who stayed behind were the Federation players who had come with Wei Tao. They were very tight-lipped and only said, “I think he went to Lincoln City. I heard that Lincoln City encountered some trouble, so Lord Fang Heng brought Mr. Qiu and Teacher Warren over.”
