The Imperial Forest Guards and his entourage escorted Tang Wu back to the main hall on a gryphon.
This time he went out in person and 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?"
Before sitting on the throne and enjoying 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 Yuan."
"Bring it here."
Tang Wu took the report from the guard, opened it and read it word by word, line by line, his expression getting worse and worse.
"boom!"
Tang Wu's eyes suddenly turned red and he slammed the report on the table!
"what happened!"
He ran out with great difficulty and finally persuaded two lords to surrender. Before he had time to celebrate, five lords surrendered to Tang Mingyue in the blink of an eye?
"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.
"Are you 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 give the order not to care about Link Liduncheng's life and death, but unexpectedly, Fang Heng and the others took advantage of the loophole.
But even if Fang Heng really makes 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 outside that Lord Fang Heng can help build a second-level mage tower in a very short period of 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 the Plague, all the major lords are in danger. In addition, building the Ghost Tower for free is extremely attractive, so all major lords are in danger."
The big lords are all trying to make friends with Lord Fang Heng, hoping to get the qualifications to build the mage tower."
Pedlio added from the side: "In addition, the Tianshu Council found out that Tang Mingyue spread the news to the outside world 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 take refuge with 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 and didn't even listen to the royal family's orders in the past. Why did they take the wrong medicine this time?
Choosing to be loyal to Fang Heng so easily? But you went 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! What did your Tianshu Academy find out!"
When Pedlio was named, his face froze. He took a step forward and explained: "Your Majesty, we are also investigating this matter. We suspect it may be related to Lord Fang Heng. In addition, we are convinced that Lord Fang Heng
He has served as the vice president of the Mage Association, and the Mage Association will vigorously promote necromancy in the near future."
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!
There is Fang Heng who is still fighting for the position of the royal family! He should have surrendered earlier!
In the silence, Bishop Kalkila 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, suppressing the anger in his heart.
Everyone also turned their attention to Kalkila.
Kalkila 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.
Unexpectedly, 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 calmed down after hearing this.
It seems reasonable if you think about it carefully.
These words have no practical effect, but they can slightly stabilize a somewhat depressed mentality.
"Well, that makes some sense. I'll send someone to clarify the rumors first."
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, we are already a step too late. If we continue to clarify the rumors now, we may not win the trust of more lords."
Tang Wu was already unhappy and asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"
"To share your Majesty's worries, I have 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 looked surprised and asked: "What are the three strategies? Tell me quickly!"
Kaljila turned sideways and took half a step back, signaling his aide Ding Shixiu to step forward.
Ding Shixiu said solemnly: "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 to purchase the magic core.
Raw materials.”
"The Mage Association actually gave Tang Mingyue the formula for making the magic core. Write down this account first, and then slowly settle it with them later."
Tang Wu endured this breath for the time being, tapped the handrail with his fingers, 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 necessarily
Will listen to us."
"No, that's not the case. Your Majesty, as far as I know, there are still many element crystals in the empire's inventory. We can do the opposite and take this opportunity to trade the useless element crystals in the empire's inventory to them. Of course, we need to secretly
Do things, trade 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.
