1964 Criticize

Offline.

The two players who had just lost their lives and were waiting to be reborn opened the game cabin. The two of them looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with confusion and dullness.

Did they just die like that?

Everything happened too quickly. They had just encountered an undead creature in the Lost Forest...

They didn't even have the chance to say a word before they were killed.

So...

Was the person wearing the demon mask Fang Heng?

The entire team had been wiped out, and they did not even know who had killed them!

Annoying!

Who cares if that person is Fang Heng or not? They will go online first!

Ai Lei logged into the website and wrote a short essay about his encounter. He clicked on the official website and posted it, waiting for everyone to criticize Fang Heng.

This guy was bullying the weak!

He had the strength of a World Lord, yet he still wanted to target a small player like him?

Was it interesting?

After the post was released, Ai Lei's essay quickly became popular.

However, what Ai Lei did not expect was that the reaction on the internet was not a condemnation of a common enemy. Instead, it was developing in a direction that he had never thought of.

Ever since the unification of the world of the vampires and the incident with Saintess Viona, there had been no news of Fang Heng on the forum for some time.

The players originally thought that Fang Heng was afraid of the Holy Court and was prepared to lay low for a while.

After all, it was the Holy Court.

It was normal.

It was human nature.

Therefore, Fang Heng's popularity was about to die down in the competition for the top ten most influential people of the year on the forum.

Unexpectedly, once Ai Lei's news came out, Fang Heng's popularity suddenly rose again.

Fang Heng was suspected to have joined the battle between the Holy Court and the undead?

Big news!

Wasn't it just the Holy Court?

World Lord Fang Heng chose to face it head-on!

Instantly, a large group of onlookers gathered on the internet.

The Holy Court and the undead were the two peak forces in the game.

Because the Holy Court could communicate with the holy realm, its power suppressed the undead.

This was a good fight!

Drama of the year! How could anyone miss it?!

...

Online, the Holy Court faction realized that something was wrong after they lost contact with the team patrolling the forest.

After a careful investigation, nearly 20 teams had gone missing in just one afternoon.

How could this be?

What the hell!

What tricks were the undead playing in the forest?

Unfortunately, the terrain of the forest was not suitable for large-scale teams to enter and investigate. The Holy Court did not even know what was happening inside the forest.

Before they could find out the cause of the incident, they could only choose to temporarily stop the ordinary patrol teams from entering the forest area. They only sent out elite teams to investigate and repeatedly warned them to be careful.

Li Qingran went offline and rested for a few hours.

When she came online again, the zombies were no longer gathered at the entrance of the valley. Instead, they were moving wood, stone, and other materials into the valley.

Fang Heng was also fiddling with something at the entrance of the valley.

"You're back. Did you rest well?"  

Fang Heng turned around and saw that Li Qingran was online. He waved at her.

Li Qingran walked over with some doubts, saying, "I'm fine. How about you? What are you doing?"

"Mm," Fang Heng looked up at the interior of the passageway, nodded, and pondered for a moment before saying, "I want to set up a mage tower here."

The inside of the valley was a closed open space. It could easily fit a mage tower. It was too troublesome to mobilize troops from the Jones Kingdom. The environment of the Lost Forest was a good area. It was difficult for large teams to enter, and it was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It would take a lot of effort for the Holy Court to break in.

Moreover, this place was very close to the interior of the Holy Court, so it was suitable for him to launch an attack directly into the interior of the Holy Court.

"Here?"

Li Qingran looked around and frowned, questioning, "Will it be inconvenient?"

Building a mage tower required a sizeable amount of resources and energy to maintain its operation. It was not something that could be done in just a few days.

"Okay, let's try it first."

Fang Heng felt that it was not a big problem.

A Tier 1 necromancy mage spire would suffice.

The Jones Kingdom and the Mork Temple had already begun constructing Tier 1 mage towers. By then, the three mage towers would be connected.

As for the construction materials, most of them could be obtained locally.

Ji Xiaobo and the vampires could transport the remaining portion back and forth a few times.

Li Qingran didn't know much about this.

Under normal circumstances, it would take a long time to build a mage tower.

But now that Fang Heng was present, the situation might not be so normal.

Li Qingran reminded him by saying, "I'm not good at this. I'll listen to you. You still have to be cautious of the Holy Court."

"Yes, there haven't been any people from the Holy Court since half an hour ago. They must have noticed the loss of personnel and retreated temporarily."

Fang Heng shrugged and walked towards the exit of the valley. He looked at the sky that was gradually darkening outside and said, "It's about time. Let's go to the heart of Brighton Empire to check out the situation."

"Alright!"

The two of them left the glen and rushed towards the other side of the forest.

...

The entrance to the Lost Forest was connected to the Brighton Empire.

Ever since they found out that there were traces of the undead in the forest, most of the Holy Court's survey teams were urgently recalled.

The Holy Court had mistakenly thought that the undead might be making a move on the woods area, so they set up fortified defenses and sentries at the edge of the forest.

Unfortunately, the border of the Lost Forest was connected to the Brighton Empire, and it was difficult to take care of everything.

Fang Heng and Li Qingran easily found a loophole and left the edge of the woods to enter the heart of the Brighton Empire.

Both of them had changed into new human skin masks.

[Hint: The player has entered the area occupied by the Holy Court. Current player mission-Scouting the front line has been completed by 10%. The player can continue to expand the range of the investigation and obtain more mission completion rates.]

After leaving the forest, Li Qingran looked around and quickly confirmed the direction. She pointed to the right area in front of her and said, "Fang Heng, the main battlefield between the Holy Court and the undead is about ten kilometers away."

"Yes."

Fang Heng looked at the battlefield from afar and then shifted his gaze to the left.

Forget about the frontal battle, there was no need to join.

"We are now standing in the supply line of the Holy Court. The various support squads of the Holy Court will come from the teleportation channels of several major cities in the Brighton Empire and continuously send their forces to the front line."

Li Qingran continued, "In addition, a sizeable amount of military supplies will arrive at the main battlefield through this supply line every day. If we can completely occupy the Lost Forest area, it will be a huge blow to the Holy Court."

"Hmm, let's not talk about the front line for now. Let's go deeper into the Brighton Empire to take a look."

"Alright."

Fang Heng and Li Qingran continued to venture deeper into the heart of the Brighton Empire.

In fact, after entering the Brighton Empire's territory, the number of patrolling soldiers from the Holy Court and the Empire had decreased.

Even if they occasionally encountered the Holy Court party on the way, the two of them only needed to disguise themselves as average players to get by.

Soon, the group gradually approached a medium-sized city in the Brighton Empire, Bright Wood City.
