Chapter 1932 Tangled
"Yes, but at that time, Mr. Anbudu hadn"t reached the demiG.o.d-level yet," Debbie nodded, continuing to explain, "Mr. Anbudu was once the teacher and instructor of the ancestors of the royal family of the Enkama Empire."
"I"ve met Anbudu before. He"s currently a member of the council of the undead faction. He"s also involved in decisions related to the undead faction. That guy has a lot of say in the undead faction, "Ji Xiaobo scratched his head. "He knows what this thing is, but we"re in such a hurry. He"s always elusive, so we can"t ask him..."
Ji Xiaobo thought for a moment and then said, "But Brother Fang, the undead faction hasn"t been very focused on attacking the Holy Court in the Ciboreya game world. So, the sealed items below might not have been very important, right?"
"Yes," Fang Heng nodded. "Or maybe the undead faction doesn"t think they"re important."
As Fang Heng spoke, he turned back to look at the metal box that was exposed under the ground. He felt that the doubts acc.u.mulated in his heart were increasing.
Undead and the Holy Court...
What were they doing?
He felt completely confused and couldn"t figure out any clues.
"By the way, Brother Fang, there"s something else. We were intercepted by two players who studied the necromancy on our way here."
"Hmm?"
"They suggested that we don"t interfere with this mission. They also said that the people from the Holy Court would come to support soon. They hope that we can leave as soon as possible. They will make arrangements here and don"t want us to continue interfering. They hope that we don"t delay the matters of the undead faction."
Fang Heng was stunned when he heard that. His first reaction was to wonder if there was a conflict with the other players" missions.
"You know them?"
Ji Xiaobo shook his head. "No, I don"t know them. They were both wearing masks, but they were using the same techniques that we necromancy learned. They were quite strong, so they only spoke to me for a while. After that, they didn"t try to stop us and left. It felt more like a warning. I don"t know if they were friends or enemies."
What did he mean?
There were arrangements for the undead faction?
Did these two people know that the people of the Holy Court were here for the Mork Temple?
What was the point of delaying the undead faction?
Or did they know some information about the mission, but they just didn"t say it?
Were they the Riddler?
Why did they stay here and be confused?
Or was he just bluffing?
The more clues there were, the more others urged him to leave quickly. Fang Heng"s heart was itching.
Listening to the two Riddlers?
What a joke.
Fang Heng and Ji Xiaobo exchanged glances.
Otherwise...
He didn"t care about what the two players said. He just pretended that they didn"t exist and did what he had to do. He just broke the seal and took a look!
Ji Xiaobo saw the look in Fang Heng"s eyes and immediately understood what he was thinking. He nodded excitedly.
"Yes!"
Fang Heng took two steps forward and was about to make a move when a vampire flew in from the pa.s.sage opening and knelt on one knee in front of Fang Heng.
"Your Majesty, some of the teams from the Holy Court are acting strangely. Judging from their movements, it"s very likely that they"re gathering here. The large teams from the Holy Court that were attacking the city not long ago have also stopped attacking the city and are already chasing after us."
"Okay, I got it. You go down first."
Fang Heng"s expression remained serious.
Had they played their last card?
Were they done pretending and planning to charge in directly?
The Holy Court seemed to attach great importance to the metal box buried underground.
In that case, Fang Heng lightly licked his lips, dismissing the idea of shattering the seal directly.
For now, he wouldn"t bother with unnecessary details.
Since they had willingly come forward, there was no need for him to deal with them one by one.
He would deal with all of them directly!
As for the undead seal, it could stay intact for a little longer.
Consider it bait!
Outside the Mork Temple, Yuan Jixian and Yuan Jize, the two brothers, hid in the shadows, closely observing the situation at the Mork Temple.
Ji Xiaobo and the others hadn"t come out since they entered.
Didn"t they advise them to leave earlier?
D*mn it!
Why were they so disobedient?
Now that members of the Holy Court had gradually arrived, continuing to stay there posed great danger!
If, by any chance, they triggered the holy seal...
The two brothers exchanged glances.
"Brother, should we go bring them out now?"
"No!"
They couldn"t tip their hand!
Moreover, the other party was a player who didn"t heed the advice. They couldn"t forcefully pull them out.
They had decided to continue waiting.
Very soon, five more teams from the Holy Court hurriedly arrived from a distance, and after gathering, they immediately rushed into the Mork Temple!
Inside the Mork Temple...
The captain of the Holy Court led his team cautiously through the pa.s.sage ahead, where the team, after regrouping with the two previously scattered teams, exchanged information. Upon learning about the presence of commander-level undead bones in the hall, the team immediately dispatched messengers to inform the commander of reinforcements. Simultaneously, they tailored a combat plan targeting the undead bones leaders.
Approaching the central hall, the Holy Court"s team saw four undead bones leaders occupying the hall.
In contrast to the sudden and hasty attack they had faced earlier, the Holy Court had made thorough preparations this time. The Holy Paladins immediately guarded the front, while the main force of Holy Court priests provided long-range purification output.
The Holy Court was experienced in dealing with the undead.
The undead bones leaders entrenched in the hall sensed the holy aura that repulsed them. They all raised their ice soul slaying blades and charged toward the Holy Court team outside the hall.
"They"re coming! Be cautious! Holy Paladins, advance! Intercept them!"
"Activate the Protective Aura!"
The team captain shouted orders, coordinating the Holy Court teams in batched operations.
While dealing with the undead bones leaders, several team captains from the Holy Court team occasionally observed the interior of the hall, searching for the mysterious individual who had previously ambushed their team.
In the deeper recesses of the hall, Ji Xiaobo felt no hint of nervousness but rather excitement.
After waiting for so long, he could finally engage the Holy Court directly!
Wasn"t this precisely what he had always yearned for?
"Brother Fang, shall we take action now?" Ji Xiaobo asked, rubbing his hands.
"It"s about time. We"ll start shortly," Fang Heng replied, patting Ji Xiaobo on the shoulder. "Wait here. I"ll go deal with them."
"Alright!"
As he spoke, Fang Heng swiftly melded into the secondary s.p.a.ce projection, zooming past the ongoing skirmish of the Holy Court.
The Holy Court team remained oblivious to any anomalies. After withstanding the initial onslaught from the four undead bones leaders, they gradually adjusted their formation.
As long as they endured the first wave of attacks from the undead bones leaders, the subsequent proceedings would become more manageable. Relying on teamwork and the healing advantage, they could gradually wear down their opponents!
Just as the Holy Court members were poised to deplete the undead bones leaders, turmoil erupted at the rear of the team.
"Not good! Behind us!"
"Be cautious behind!"
"Undead! There are undead attacking from behind!"
