1228 In a Hurry


    The zombie clones could ignore the weak infection. Under Fang Heng’s control, they excavated the high-concentration crystal ores, carrying them onto the mine cart and traveling back and forth in the iron mine to transport the materials.


    The mission target seemed to be deep in the rock wall, and it would take some time to dig.


    Soon, seeing that the production line was roughlyid out, Fang Heng no longer wasted time and left the iron mine.


    Another yer who had been waiting at the entrance walked up.


    It was Zhou Yu.


    He was the assistant that Wei Tao had brought into the game. He was also from the Federation. He had cooperated with Mo Jiawei in the operation earlier.


    With all that they had just done, Zhou Yu now admired Fang Heng from the bottom of his heart.


    He had just led the yers to transport the materials detained by the Empire in batches and temporarily stored them in the open space outside the iron mine.


    “World Lord Fang Heng, the city is nowpletely under our control. There are still a small number of yers in the city, which is a little troublesome. To avoid any more trouble, we have restricted their movements and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving the city.”


    “Yes, that’ll do.”


    “The construction materials that were previously detained by the feudal lord are still in the warehouse. However, it’s very troublesome to transport them out in this situation. Many of the Empire’s follow-up reinforcements are on the way, and we’ll easily run into them. I’ve already had some of the materials transported here.”


    Zhou Yu said as he looked at the empty space around him.


    He found it strange. Why did Fang Heng want to transfer the materials here?


    “Oh… Good job.”


    Fang Heng rubbed his chin.


    They may seem to have easily taken down the city, but in fact, they only made use of the underground world’s teleportation passage and the fact that the Empire’s feudal lords underestimated their enemies tounch an ambush.


    The news that they had taken over Lincoln City spread quickly.


    Arge number of the Empire’s troops were already moving toward the city to provide support.


    He had to hurry up.


    “Hmm, send people to scout. I need to know the movements of the Empire around the city and report to me at all times.”


    “Alright,” Zhou Yu nodded and looked back at the materials piled up nearby.


    He asked, “What should we do with these materials?”


    “Continue to transport them over.”


    Continue to transport them over? Was there enough space to store them here?


    Zhou Yu was stunned.


    Then, he saw the zombie clones behind Fang Heng moving forward shakily and starting to move materials on the spot.


    Fang Heng began to control zombie clones to find a suitable ce to build the mage tower.


    Zhou Yu looked at the zombie team that was slowly moving and then at Fang Heng, his eyes filled with puzzlement.


    Mo Jiawei patted Zhou Yu’s shoulder and said, “Hey, don’t worry, brother. Leave this to us. We’re professionals in this aspect.”


    “O-okay.”


    Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and waved his hand, leading the yer team back to the city’s warehouse to transport the materials.


    On the other side, after finding the construction point, Fang Heng lowered his head, opened the game log, and remotely controlled the zombie clones in the Land of gue.


    More than half an hour ago, Tianli Mercenary had already transported most of the materials needed to level up the Tier 2 mage tower to the Land of gue.


    The zombie clones had already started to level up the Tier 2 mage tower.


    At that time, as long as the two mage towers werepleted at the same time, he could build a teleportation passage between the Land of gue and Lincoln City!


    The raw materials for creating enlightenment stones, materials for building mage towers, and even the energy crystal ores that had just been excavated, as well as the materials plundered from the city’s warehouses could all be sent back to the Land of gue!


    Now, the only thing hecked was time.


    He needed to transport as many materials as possible before the Empireunched arge-scale attack!


    He was racing against time!


    By relying on the Lickers and the fusion Tyrant forms, it should not be a problem to hold off the Empire for a while and buy more time, though there was no hope of keeping Lincoln City.


    Fang Heng had almost figured out the battle n in his mind.


    …


    Two hourster, outside Lincoln City, Feudal Lord Chadwick returned with the remaining soldiers and met up with the two feudal lord legions of the Empire that hade to reinforce the city.


    After a few tentative attacks, the three feudal lord armies chose to retreat temporarily, staying far away from the city wall. They set up camp not far from the city and waited for follow-up reinforcements.


    The feudal lords did not expect that Lincoln City would fall so quickly.


    Their armies had hurried over with light and simple equipment. They hadn’t even prepared any siege weapons.


    In such a situation, they were powerless against the towering city walls.


    Once they got close to the city, the guards of the Land of gue on the city wall would release arrows from a long distance. Apanied by the harassment of the undead creatures that were simply immortal, it was too difficult to break through the city wall.


    “Those are undead creatures from the Land of gue. Only fire and Holy Light canpletely purify them,” The Holy Court’s bishop, Buno, exined, “The undead are stronger at night, so we should attack the city before the night falls.”


    “Tsk, it’s easy for you to say. Everyone knows that the undead are more powerful at night. Isn’t it obvious that we can’t beat them? If you’re so great, then go ahead.”


    Some yer teams hade along.


    The yers did not have a good impression of the Holy Court.


    The power of the Holy Court in this world was rtively weak, so the yers were not afraid of them. They began to discuss in low voices.


    Anger rose in Chadwick’s heart. He stared at the city in the distance, gritted his teeth, and said with hatred, “Heh, there’s no hurry to attack. General Deng Wen will soon arrive with his army to provide reinforcements. Some feudal lords who are on good terms with me are on the way here too. I’d like to see how long those undead canst.”


    ...


    Bishop Buno of the Holy Court looked up at the city not far away and said with a worried expression, “You may not know this, but an ancient evil creature is sealed in the city. I’m worried that Feudal Lord Fang Heng of the Land of gue has broken into the city for that evil creature. Once the seal is broken, the consequences will be unimaginable. In fact, we’ve already seen the prophecy of the end of the world in the Book of Oath. I’m afraid the appearance of the undead is a sign. Once he seeds, the end of the world wille. The entire world will be threatened.”


    “Alright, bishop, we will stop the evil.”


    The yers replied perfunctorily, not feeling much emotion.


    Since a long time ago, the Holy Court had been spreading nonsense about the end of the world.


    At first, some believed it, but as time passed, the Holy Court could not produce any valid evidence.


    In addition to the suppression from the royal family, the influence of the Holy Court on the continent was getting lower and lower.


    In the yers’ eyes, the so-called doomsday prophecy was aughable scam of the Holy Court.


    It was just that it was a little strange that the Holy Court suddenly stood with the Empire this time.


    Seeing no reaction from the crowd, Bishop Buno could not help but sigh in his heart.


    “Feudal Lord Chadwick, Lincoln City was originally your territory. Do you have any way to break through the defense of the city wall?”
