1121 The Intention to Retreat


    Lord Brent was extremely furious. He gritted his teeth and said, “It’s the Pri Gaming Guild. We saw theming out of the Land of gue 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 gue for your mercenary group to use in and out of the Land of gue. How did it end up in the hands of the Pri Gaming Guild?”


    Ma Xiaowan looked at Fang Heng’s questioning gaze and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.


    The Pri 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 exnation.”


    “There’s no need to check, it’s definitely the Pri Gaming Guild!”


    Lord Brent’s face was gloomy, and he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.


    Those b*stards from the Pri 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 gue!


    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 exnation 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 Pri Gaming Guild.


    Fang Heng’s maniption has caused the Pri 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 cmity, or else she would not even know how she died.


    At the same time, Ed led the team of yers 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 yer’s mission failed early and will enter the settlement stage. The yer’s favorability rating with the feudal lords will decrease.]


    [Hint: Due to the rumors, the yer’s friendship with the feudal lord, Lord Brent, has greatly decreased. The current favorability rating has decreased.]


    [Hint: Due to the rumors, the yer’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. yer, please be careful.]


    Until thest game prompt, Ed’s mentalitypletely copsed.


    “F*ck!!”


    Ed raised his staff and smashed it onto the ground!


    He had spent so many years building the Pri Gaming Guild!


    Afterpleting 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 epted 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 im 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 gue. We burned the ghost tower in the Land of gue 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 rted to us.”


    What?!


    Suddenly, Ed, who was still furious, calmed down.


    His forehead was covered in cold sweat.


    The previous scenes reyed 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 epted that strange hostile mission, his every move had been controlled and predicted by the yer 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 yer who epted 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 ce to hide in the game.”


    “But the Land of gue has used us of stealing the magic core,” asked Sarwen, a little puzzled. “Do we really not need to exin?”


    “It’s no use. Now that things havee to this, it doesn’t matter if we exin or not.”


    Ed shook his head and replied, “The enemy’s n is so detailed. Not only us, but also the feudal lord of the Land of gue, the barbarians, and so many other feudal lords of the Empire were all involved in his n. The person behind all these must have a powerful background.”


    “A yer 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 Pri Gaming Guild that he had founded was on the verge of copse.


    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.
