Chapter 1121 - 1121 The Intention to Retreat
1121 The Intention to Retreat
Lord Brent was extremely furious. He gritted his teeth and said, “It’s the Prilla Gaming Guild. We saw them coming out of the Land of Plague in a panic at the entrance. I asked them for this rune.”
Fang Heng frowned and turned to look at Ma Xiaowan.
“Commander Ma, I’m not doubting you, but I’ve only provided the runes of the Land of Plague for your mercenary group to use in and out of the Land of Plague. How did it end up in the hands of the Prilla Gaming Guild?”
Ma Xiaowan looked at Fang Heng’s questioning gaze and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.!!
The Prilla Gaming Guild was going to be in deep trouble.
“I’m very sorry,” Ma Xiaowan lowered her head and said, “I’ll definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation.”
“There’s no need to check, it’s definitely the Prilla Gaming Guild!”
Lord Brent’s face was gloomy, and he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
Those b*stards from the Prilla Gaming Guild!
From the very beginning, they had tried every possible way to stop them from building the mage tower, and now they were even unscrupulously attacking the ghost tower in the Land of Plague!
Did they really think that the feudal lords of the Empire could be easily controlled by others?
“Lord Fang Heng, you were also shocked just now. We will also help you in finding the magic cores.” Lord Brent waved his hand and said to his entourage, “Go! Let’s go back and ask Ed for an explanation before they get too far!”
After saying that, Lord Brent nodded to Fang Heng and immediately led his team in the direction of Hani City.
Ma Xiaowan couldn’t help but sigh as she watched the crowd leave.
What a disaster… A terrifying disaster.
She now knew why Fang Heng didn’t exterminate the Prilla Gaming Guild.
Fang Heng’s manipulation has caused the Prilla Gaming Guild to be on the opposite side of all the feudal lords of the Empire. The days ahead would be difficult.
And those magic cores…
Ma Xiaowan couldn’t help but shrink back.
In the future, she must not offend calamity, or else she would not even know how she died.
At the same time, Ed led the team of players and ran for their lives in the direction of Hani City.
Ed clenched his fists tightly.
Game notifications kept popping up on his retina.
[Hint: The player’s mission failed early and will enter the settlement stage. The player’s favorability rating with the feudal lords will decrease.]
[Hint: Due to the rumors, the player’s friendship with the feudal lord, Lord Brent, has greatly decreased. The current favorability rating has decreased.]
[Hint: Due to the rumors, the player’s friendship with the feudal lord, Lord Brent, has greatly decreased. The current favorability rating has decreased and turned into hostility.]
[Hint: Due to the rumors…]
[Hint: The feudal lord, Lord Brent, has allied with the various feudal lords of the Empire to issue an arrest warrant for you. Player, please be careful.]
Until the last game prompt, Ed’s mentality completely collapsed.
“F*ck!!”
Ed raised his staff and smashed it onto the ground!
He had spent so many years building the Prilla Gaming Guild!
After completing so many missions one at a time and spending so much time and effort, he finally managed to raise the party’s friendship with the various feudal lords of the Empire!
But now?
In less than 10 hours after he accepted that damn mission, all the hard work and effort he had put in for the past 10 years had almost been destroyed!
“Commander, calm down.”
Ed’s eyes were red.
Calm down? How could he calm down after such a thing happened?
Ed took a deep breath, the veins on his neck bulging as he tried to suppress the anger that was about to burst out at any moment.
How was he going to face the current situation?
The various feudal lords of the Empire had even issued a warrant for his arrest!
Was he supposed to surrender to them and claim a reward to recover his HP?
“Commander, our offline members just found out something…” said Sarwen as he looked at Ed carefully. “Something doesn’t seem right.”
“What is it?”
“Now, the feudal lords are spreading rumors that we have joined forces with the barbarians to attack the Land of Plague. We burned the ghost tower in the Land of Plague and some of the precious materials stored in the ghost tower. Moreover, we also…”
Seeing that Ed’s expression was getting gloomier, Sarwen was a little hesitant.
“What else is there? Speak.”
Sarwen in a deep voice, “Also, the magic cores in the ghost tower have been stolen by the enemy. The feudal lords suspect that this matter is related to us.”
What?!
Suddenly, Ed, who was still furious, calmed down.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat.
The previous scenes replayed in his mind like a movie.
It was a trap!
He had fallen into a trap!
Come to think of it, ever since he had accepted that strange hostile mission, his every move had been controlled and predicted by the player behind the hostile mission!
From the very beginning, the other party had him in the palm of his hand!
In fact, Ed even suspected that the other party had intentionally let him escape outside the ghost tower.
If the other party was willing, they might have been exterminated in the forest a long time ago.
“Commander, we…”
When Ed came back to his senses, he realized that the back of his shirt was soaked with cold sweat.
“Don’t worry, let me think about it,” he raised his hand and said in a deep voice.
“Yes.”
Sarwen led everyone back a little, leaving Ed some time to think.
After a while, Ed raised his head and said, “Put everything on hand aside and find a way to investigate. I want to know who is the player who accepted the hostile mission!”
“Alright, Commander, shall we go back now…”
“Yeah, we can’t go back to Hani City. Let’s split up and find a place to hide in the game.”
“But the Land of Plague has accused us of stealing the magic core,” asked Sarwen, a little puzzled. “Do we really not need to explain?”
“It’s no use. Now that things have come to this, it doesn’t matter if we explain or not.”
Ed shook his head and replied, “The enemy’s plan is so detailed. Not only us, but also the feudal lord of the Land of Plague, the barbarians, and so many other feudal lords of the Empire were all involved in his plan. The person behind all these must have a powerful background.”
“A player with such an ability…”
Ed mumbled to himself. He suddenly raised his head and said, “Let’s go to the Federation, they must have some clues.”
“O-okay, I’ll do it immediately…”
Ed took a deep breath and loosened his clenched fist.
Now, he had been forced to a dead end.
The Prilla Gaming Guild that he had founded was on the verge of collapse.
After having a mental breakdown, he no longer had the desire to continue fighting. He felt that he was inferior to the other party in terms of both strength and schemes.
All he could do now was to find a way to find the other party in the real world and find a way to reconcile with them.
There was still a chance.
