1974 Detour

They couldn't hold it anymore!

In just a few minutes, the players felt that there were fewer and fewer NPCs guarding the town, but more and more undead creatures!

Not even a glimpse of reinforcements could be seen!

"Retreat!"

Seeing this, the players quickly gave up on guarding the city wall and prepared to hide in a corner of the town.

Not far away, Li Qingran saw the entire process of the town being attacked by the Lickers, until the town's city wall was completely silent.

The game hint appeared on Fang Heng and Li Qingran's retina.

[Hint: The player has captured a town belonging to the Holy Court. The player's mission-Rescue Chiboreya completion rate +0.2%. Obtained 10,000 undead faction honor points.]

After the battle, Li Qingran felt that she had been completely useless.

The loss of the Licker horde was extremely limited. On the contrary, Fang Heng obtained a batch of mutated infected zombie clones through his skill after the battle, strengthening the team.

High up in the sky, a vampire in the form of a bat slowly descended from a high altitude. He reverted to his human form and knelt on one knee. He reported to Fang Heng, "Your Majesty, there are two large teams from the Holy Court rapidly approaching us. At the same time, we have also discovered some scattered enemy teams gathering towards us."

"Got it. Continue to observe from a distance."

"Yes!"

Fang Heng examined the map and decided to leave the slower mutated infected zombie clones to guard the town and delay the Holy Court.

"Senior Qingran, it seems like the Holy Court is here. Let's go to Zelai City."

Zelai City!

Li Qingran's heart skipped a beat.

That was a medium-sized main city in the Empire.

Fang Heng's target this time was the Empire's main city?!

"Yes! Alright!"

...

In the heart of the Brighton Empire, Zelai City.

A project manager from Yuantu Gaming Company, who was in charge of external cooperation, showed an apologetic expression and rejected the Pious Gaming Guild's proposal to participate in the faction mission.

"Indeed, you have met the minimum requirements for accepting missions, but the company has a rule that if you want to receive relevant missions, you can only cooperate with outsiders through the company's official channels."

"You haven't even prepared the application report, so I can't help you. Please leave. We're all employees, so you should understand my difficulties. This isn't something I can decide."

Yuantu Gaming Company was a large international company. They were focused on developing the Holy Court faction, and their forces were distributed in several mid-tier game worlds.

This time, the Yuantu Gaming Company had placed a huge bet. They had set up a layout in the game world of Chiboreya in advance and obtained the authority of Zelai City through some means. Together with the feudal lord of Zelai City, they were responsible for all aspects of Zelai City.

Very soon, the Yuantu Gaming Company took control of all the missions in the surrounding area with the city as the center.

"Big Brother, we've already come here several times. Why do we still have to abide by them?"

After the Pious Guild came to the game world of Chiporeya, they realized that the Holy Court faction missions in this world had been mostly divided by the big guilds.

The rest were missions with high difficulty and low rewards.

Now, it was extremely difficult to get a share of the profits.

The vice president, Zhu Jianfeng, had already been rejected several times by Yuantu Gaming Company. As expected, he was rejected again this time.

"Since we're already here, let's try again." Zhu Jianfeng waved his hand. He had expected this outcome and so he said, "If the deal doesn't work, benevolence and righteousness will still exist."

"We sent people and put in a lot of effort. In the end, we even gave them 70% of the contribution points, but they still refused to agree. It's obvious that they don't intend to let us participate in the mission."

"Don't be anxious. We have already given them a chance..." Zhu Jianfeng glanced at the mission delegation office that was firmly controlled by the players of Yuantu Gaming Company and pursed his lips before asking, "What did the president say?"

"Hmm."

His subordinate immediately read the message on the survival radio and said, "The president just sent a message saying that Mr. Fang has started his operation and asked us to be ready.

"Alright!"

Zhu Jianfeng's spirits were lifted. He looked at the time and sent a confirmation message to the survival radio, "Let's go, we're ready for the next step!"

... 

"What are you all doing?"

"Where did this group of undead come from?!"

"Why were they able to swagger into the heart of the Empire without you noticing?"

After receiving the news of the attack on the Empire's hinterland, the army commander Georgi was shocked for a moment before he became furious. He immediately ordered the troops to destroy the army that had invaded the Brighton Empire's hinterland.

Terrifying undead!

They had used some unknown method to break into the interior of the Empire and cause such great damage!

Georgi clenched his fists and shouted, "And! Find out where they came from!"

"Yes, sir!"

Everyone was a little terrified.

The few players who participated in the meeting felt even more unlucky and had been scolded for nothing.

They also found it strange.

How did the undead appear in the heart of the Empire?

However, he heard some rumors saying that he viewed a group of Lickers and suspected that Fang Heng was involved in this ambush.

World Lord Fang Heng?

Was that guy so vengeful?

Their Holy Court had raided their hinterland two days ago, and they were going to sneak attack them today?

Whether or not World Lord Fang Heng participated in the battle was still unconfirmed.

In addition, the few towns that were assaulted this time were all guarded by the players who had took on the relevant missions.

The mission requires the player to protect the safety of the town.

As long as the town was safe, the player team could earn faction contribution points and reputation points every day.

On the other hand, if the town was damaged, the player's contribution points and reputation points would be deducted.

If the town was completely destroyed, it would be terrible.

He would be punished hundreds of times.

Normally, the various guilds would fight for this type of mission.

After all, the towns were located in the heart of the empire, and the situation at the front line was good. How could they be attacked?

They could earn contribution points for free every day.

Unfortunately, there was a sudden change today.

Several towns had been demolished in a row, and the guild contribution points of the players who had took on the mission had been greatly deducted.

On the leaderboard of the Holy Court faction today, the faction contribution points of the various large guilds did not increase but instead decreased.

No one had expected things to change so quickly!

Due to the undead's invasion, many large player guilds chose to give up on their original town guard missions. On the other hand, a few small guilds took the opportunity to receive many related missions.

To the small guilds, they weren't afraid.

Wasn't it just a bet?

They were betting that they would not be so unlucky and that the undead would not attack the town they were protecting so easily.

Georgi was rarely as angry as he was now.

He only knew that the undead had somehow invaded the heart of the Brighton Empire and were still stirring up trouble there.

At this moment, a Holy Paladin guard walked into the tent and whispered a few words into Georgi's ear.

"What?!"

After hearing what the guard said, Gheorghe shouted angrily, "Are they crazy?! Did they dare to attack the main city? Get someone to immediately provide support!"

"Yes, sir! Roger!"
