Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 1225 - 1225 A Huge Scheme?

1225 A Huge Scheme?

Everyone’s expression was grave.

They realized that they had been completely blocked by the forest in front of them.

The players somehow felt lucky.

Fortunately, they didn’t go too deep in, or their team might have died inside.

!!
“It’s just a small trick!”

Xiao Yun’s eyes narrowed and anger flashed past as he raised his right hand.

“Set fire!”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The royal family’s mages followed the order and released a series of fireballs into the forest. The royal guards also lit up flame arrows and fired them into the forest.

Heh, sacred tree?

As long as it was a tree, it would burn!

Xiao Yun’s face was filled with hatred.

Since he couldn’t go in, he would burn the entire forest and the so-called sacred tree!

“Chi! Chi, chi, chi!”

The fire entered the forest and burned the vines fiercely.

The flames were quite effective against the vines and slowly spread to the surroundings.

Everyone could feel the heat wave that was coming at them.

After a short while, the archers finished firing three consecutive waves of flame arrows and began to switch to ammunition.

Yet at this point, Xiao Yun’s face once again darkened.

Why was this happening?

Once the mage and archers stopped their attacks, the flames only lasted for a short while before they slowly extinguished.

The situation of burning down the entire forest, which he had originally expected, did not happen.

“Chi, chi, chi…”

Upon closer inspection, the vines that had died from the burning were quickly covered with a layer of new branches and vines.

In just a few minutes, the forest had returned to its previous lush appearance.

The players were all shocked.

This forest was too strange!

How could this be? Was this forest really impassable?

They had come with such gusto, but now they couldn’t even see the shadow of the enemy?

Was the sacred tree really that powerful?

Xiao Yun’s face was ashen.

The royal guards were the elites among the elites of the royal family. Yet to think they were now blocked by a mere forest!

However, there was nothing he could do!

“Commander Xiao!”

In the sky, several elite soldiers of the Empire who were riding on griffins landed after circling for a while.

An elite soldier alighted from his griffin, kneeling on one knee as he reported to Xiao Yun, “Commander Xiao, we’ve just received news that Lincoln City has been attacked by the Land of Plague. Great General Deng Wen is currently moving to the closer Lincoln City to provide reinforcements.

Xiao Yun’s eyes turned red and a hint of ruthlessness flashed past.

The players couldn’t help but start discussing in low voices again.

What? Lincoln City?

Wasn’t that the central region of the Empire? When did the Land of Plague run to that place?

They were simply too terrifying and too crazy.

It had only been a few hours, but the Land of Plague was not at a disadvantage against the powerful Empire at all. They even took the initiative to attack many places at once and attacked a central city of the Empire straight away?

One must know that such a city was different from a border city like Hani City.

Lincoln City was located in the middle of the Empire, which meant that the Empire’s army could send reinforcements over faster through the teleportation passage!

Furthermore, without the protection of the sacred tree, how could the Land of Plague face the Empire’s army head-on?

“My Lord, should we go to Lincoln City to provide assistance?”

Xiao Yun retracted his gaze from the guard and looked at the forest area in front of him. He said in a deep voice, “There’s no need. Great General Deng Wen can handle it. We’ll stay here and continue burning! I don’t believe that we can’t burn down this forest!”

“Yes!”

…

In the outside world, after hearing that the Land of Plague had attacked Lincoln City, the players immediately found some fun.

Regardless of whether they were prepared to participate or not, they all fanned the flames in the forums, clamoring to go to Lincoln City to help and earn the Empire’s reward.

The players had already gotten a small portion of the reward when they helped the Empire deal with the barbarians.

The barbarians had just been defeated. Yet, before the Empire had time to catch its breath, it fell into civil strife and was fighting the mysterious Land of Plague.

The more chaotic, the better!

The fall of Hani City and the attack on Lincoln City had made Fang Heng a big problem to the royal family and the Empire’s feudal lords. Not only did the royal family increase the mission rewards, but many Empire’s feudal lords also came to assist with their private troops.

The more muddled the water was, the easier it was for the player to fish, and thus the more excited they were.

On the other hand, after learning about Fang Heng’s sudden attack on Lincoln City, Ed’s first reaction was puzzlement.

Huh? What did that mean? Why didn’t he stay in the Land of Plague and instead went to the middle of the Empire to cause trouble?

Then, the few large-scale player teams that were working together with Ed analyzed the situation and came to a sudden realization.

It turned out that everything was Fang Heng’s tactical intention!

It was too right!

It took Ed some time to understand the meaning behind Fang Heng’s move.

Fang Heng was fighting for an opportunity for them to attack the capital of the Empire!

Right now, the entire continent, even the player forums, were filled with discussions related to Lincoln City. Everyone’s attention had been drawn to that city!

This gave them an excellent opportunity to sneak into the royal family.

No one would care if the major player guilds were doing things in the dark!

Fang Heng alone helped them bear all the enemy’s firepower and attention.

It was great to have such a teammate!

As expected, only a terrifying force like the Central Federation could make such an arrangement.

Since their teammates were strong, they couldn’t make their efforts go to waste either.

Ed and the other player teams immediately came up with an ambush plan. Everything was ready, and they were only waiting for nightfall to attack the royal family! They would support Tang Mo!

On the other side, Wei Tao and Mikhael were stunned as they listened to the report from Ed. They felt as if they were in a dream.

What did he mean?

Blowing up the imperial mausoleum and attacking the Empire were all done by Fang Heng?

Was he really doing such risky things?

No way…

In just one night’s time, he had come up with such a huge scheme?

It was just a trial mission. Was there a need to overthrow the entire Empire?

The main trial mission didn’t have such a requirement, right?

Wasn’t the commotion a little too big?

Previously, after meeting Fang Heng in the Imperial mausoleum and then separating, Wei Tao and Mikhael had originally followed Tang Mo’s group back to his territory.

At first, the two were still confused. After some discussion, they were planning on going to the Land of Plague to check on Fang Heng’s condition.

They didn’t expect that just as they were about to set off, Ed and the others would come to urgently request an audience with his Highness Tang Mo.

Then Ed directly related the plan to help Tang Mo seize the throne.

When they heard the news, Wei Tao and Mikhael both thought that Ed had been duped by Fang Heng.

However, after listening to Ed’s entire story…

After hearing that Fang Heng had accepted the inheritance of an alchemist, and made reliable teammates out of the cave-dwelling beasts and barbarians, while Ed had managed to convince the Mage Association and most of the player forces in the game to infiltrate the royal family…

The two revealed looks of disbelief.
