Chapter 1278: Insidious move
……
Imperial City.
The Imperial Forest Guards and his entourage escorted Tang Wu back to the main hall on a gryphon.
This time he personally persuaded two imperial lords to be loyal. Several lords around the imperial city also surrendered. Tang Wu was in a very good mood.
"What's wrong?"
Having just sat on the throne and not had time to enjoy it, Tang Wu noticed that the aide beside him, Ding Shixiu, looked a little unhappy.
"Your Majesty, this is the report just provided by Tianshu Academy."
"Bring it here."
Tang Wu took the report from the guard and opened it word for word Looking line by line, his complexion became worse and worse.
"Bang!"
Tang Wu's eyes suddenly turned red and he slammed the report on the table!
"What's going on!"
He ran out with great difficulty and finally persuaded two lords to surrender. Before he could celebrate, five lords came to him in the blink of an eye. Tang Mingyue surrendered?
"Your Majesty, please calm down. We have investigated that the cause of the matter is Lord Chadwick of Linkliton City."
Tianshu Yuan has always been the department in the royal family responsible for collecting intelligence. The leader of Tianshu Yuan, Pedlio, immediately stepped forward and reported the collected intelligence to Tang Wu.
"Ghost Tower? Can it dispel the breath of plague?"
In the main hall, everyone couldn't help but whisper after hearing this.
“You are saying that Lord Fang Heng helped solve the crisis in Linkliton City and dispersed the Breath of Plague, so Lord Chadwick swore allegiance to Tang Mingyue?”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Tang Wu frowned.
He did personally order not to care about Link Liduncheng's life and death, but unexpectedly, Fang Heng and the others took advantage of him.
But even if Fang Heng really spends great efforts to solve the problem of Breath of Plague, what about the other lords?
"What about the others! Even if Lord Chadwick has extenuating circumstances, why do so many lords swear allegiance to Tang Mingyue?"
"Your Majesty, there are rumors from the outside world that , Lord Fang Heng can help build a second-level mage tower in a very short time, and the mage tower can also dispel the breath of plague.”
Ding Shixiu reported: "Currently, due to the outbreak of the Breath of Plague in various parts of the world, in order to prevent the spread of the Breath of Plague, all the major lords are in danger. In addition, building the Ghost Tower for free is extremely attractive, so each The big lords are all trying to make friends with Lord Fang Heng, hoping to get the funds to build the mage tower. Qualifications."
Pedlio added: "In addition, Tianshu Academy found out that Tang Mingyue spread the news that the number of ghost towers to be built is limited, and each lord is first come, first served. "
As Tang Wu listened, his fists clenched tighter and tighter, and his body couldn't help but tremble with anger.
Use the Ghost Tower to lure the major lords into surrender?
Listening to this, most of the lords of the empire are ready to join Tang Mingyue?
Just to build a few mage towers?
"What about the Mage Association! Why would they cooperate with Tang Mingyue!"
Tang Wu really couldn't figure it out.
The Mage Association is so arrogant. It didn’t even listen to the royal family’s orders in the past. Why did it take the wrong medicine this time?
Choose allegiance to Fang Heng so easily? Just go against him! ?
In the face of questioning, the hall fell into a brief silence.
Not to mention Tang Wu, no one else can figure it out either.
Seeing everyone like this, Tang Wu was even more angry and shouted: "Speak! Why is no one talking now!"
"Pedlio! Tell me! You gods!" The Privy Council found something!”
Pedlio was named and his face He froze, took half a step forward, and explained: "Your Majesty, we are also investigating this matter and suspect that it may be related to Lord Fang Heng. In addition, we are convinced that Lord Fang Heng has assumed the position of vice president of the Mage Association. The Mage Association will vigorously promote necromancy recently.”
Tang Wu gritted his teeth and spit out two words, "Fang Heng!"
It's Fang Heng again!
He created the Plague Land, he also created the Ghost Tower, and now he wants to interfere with the Mage Association!
Tang Wu never expected that all because of Fang Heng, the originally good situation would collapse so quickly!
You have Fang Heng, who is still fighting for the royal position! Just surrender as soon as possible!
In the silence, Bishop Kalki of the Holy Court took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please calm down. In my opinion, I am afraid that all this is Lord Fang Heng's plan."
Tang Wu's chest rose and fell, feeling depressed. The anger in my heart.
Everyone also turned their attention to Kalkila.
Karkila had been reinforcing the Holy Light Barrier before and looked a little tired.
More psychological exhaustion.
The Holy Court has always regarded the undead as evil, and has been effectively promoting the threat of the undead for thousands of years.
I didn’t expect that the Mage Association would openly promote necromancy to the outside world this time! This undoubtedly made the entire Holy Court feel a great crisis.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Tower of Ghosts cannot be effective against Breath of Plague. Lord Fang Heng is probably spreading this rumor to build momentum and win the loyalty of more imperial lords."
"Such a strategy may be effective for a while, but it cannot be deceived for a long time. As long as we wait a little longer, we can naturally find his flaws and give him a fatal blow!"
Tang Wu also followed after hearing this. Calm down.
It seems reasonable if you think about it carefully.
These words have no practical effect, but they can slightly stabilize the somewhat depressed mentality.
"Well, there is some truth in that. I will send someone to clarify the rumors first."
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, we are already a step too late. I am afraid that we will continue to clarify the rumors now." It can't win the trust of more lords."
Tang Wu was already unhappy and asked, "What should I do?"
"To share your Majesty's worries, I previously discussed with Mr. Ding Shixiu Ding and formulated three strategies for your Majesty: upper, middle and lower. Please make your decision."
"Oh?"
Tang Wu showed his face Surprised, he asked: "What are the three strategies? Tell me quickly!"
Kaljila turned sideways and took half a step back, signaling his staff Ding Shixiu to step forward.
Ding Shixiu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Tianshu Academy heard that there is a shortage of construction materials for the Ghost Tower. According to Tang Mingyue, it is because of the lack of magic core. For this reason, Tang Mingyue also offered a large price. Acquire the raw materials for making the Magic Core”
"The Mage Association actually gave Tang Mingyue the formula for making the magic core. Write down this account first, and then ask them to settle it slowly later."
Tang Wu endured this breath for the time being, and gently used his fingers to He knocked on the handrail and asked thoughtfully: "You mean we can stop them from the raw materials? The lords of the empire may have hidden a small amount of elemental crystals, but they may not listen to us."
"No, That's not the case, Your Majesty. As far as I know, there are still a lot of elemental crystals in the empire's inventory. We can do the opposite and take this opportunity to trade the useless elemental crystals in the empire's inventory to them. Of course, we need to do it secretly. Trading with Fang Heng in the name of an imperial lord. "What did you say? Are you crazy?"
Tang Wu was startled when he heard this. He thought Ding Shixiu was crazy.
What do you give to the enemy if they lack it?
Sick? (End of this chapter)
