Fang Heng had already lowered the dimensional energy attributes of the players through Abe Akaya.
The strength was reduced to about one-third.
Even so, from the Federation’s perspective, such an enhancement was still terrifying.
Fang Heng didn’t want to completely eliminate the dimensional energy’s enhancement on the bloodline.
The vampire bloodline was incredibly strong, making it highly attractive to players.
It could absorb fresh blood from the players.
Of course, players also represented instability in certain aspects.
As Fang Heng was contemplating finding an excuse to decline, several lines of game prompts suddenly flashed across his retina.
[Hint: Punoze is currently under invasion from an unknown high-tier world boundary, and players are facing enemy threats.][Hint: Punoze is currently affected by the holy descent.]
[Hint: Player has triggered mission-The Crisis of Punoze.]
Mission name: The Crisis of Punoze.
Mission description: Punoze is currently under attack from the Holy Court. All players are required to defend the main city of Catantul in Punoze.
Mission description: The world of Punoze has been sealed by holy power, and under this state, players cannot use teleportation scrolls to leave the world.
Fang Heng and the others’ expressions changed simultaneously.
They had just been talking about it, and now the Holy Court’s big move had arrived!?
So soon?
Moreover, it was too coincidental that the Holy Court chose to attack Punoze?!
So they were directed at him?
Fang Heng had a bad feeling and quickly reviewed the previous game hints. There were no hints related to pursuers from the Holy Realm.
So this matter didn’t involve him?
That didn’t seem right.
The Holy Realm had cast a grand premonition spell on him and definitely knew he was currently in Punoze!
However, they hadn’t tracked him down via Descent this time.
However, they hadn’t tracked him down via Descent this time.
That alone was odd.
Fang Heng found it even stranger.
Why was that so?
Since the facade had already been torn apart and they were going to attack Punoze, why hadn’t they sent a pursuit team this time?
What kind of trick was the Holy Realm playing?
Fang Heng vaguely sensed a whiff of conspiracy.
However, the conspiracy might not necessarily be aimed at him.
Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang also saw the game hints that appeared, and their faces went pale.
What the hell! They had originally come to fulfill a mission assigned by their superiors, intending to relay a message to Fang Heng for a face-to-face meeting. How had they suddenly found themselves trapped in Punoze as well?
What were they supposed to do now?
The two of them turned to Fang Heng.
Fang Heng quickly calmed down and shrugged, saying, “Punoze has been around in the undead faction for so many years. It won’t be easily breached. Since we can’t leave anyway, why not go see if we can gain some benefits?”
Fang Heng swiftly devised a battle strategy.
No need to panic; they would first assess the situation.
If things went south, they could always log off and hide.
Who knows? Maybe he might get some benefits!
Moreover, with the rewards from the main storyline of the World of Forests, if things went awry, he could always use his domain skills to directly summon the Inner World and quickly teleport away using Abe Akaya’s dimensional abilities within that realm.
The risks were manageable!
…
Hundreds of Purifiers from the Holy Realm suddenly descended into Punoze, leading a large contingent of Holy Realm knights to launch an assault on the Punoze world.
The players trapped in Punoze’s undead faction were in a state of panic.
No one had expected the Holy Court to act so quickly, breaking the tacit understanding between the undead high-ranking officials and expanding the war into the high-tier world.
Tower of Bones.
Several instructors from the undead faction gathered in the Tower of Bones to activate the city’s defense systems, preparing to face the imminent attack from the Holy Court.
When Fang Heng, Tan Shuo, and Li Shaoqiang arrived at the main city of Catantul, a group of undead players had already assembled in the square.
Tan Shuo quickly returned after inquiring about the news.
“What did the instructors from the Tower of Bones say?”
“The tower leaders are all absent. Currently, the two deputy tower masters from the Tower of Decay and the Tower of Withering are leading everyone to counter the Holy Realm,” Tan Shuo replied.
His expression turned serious as he added, “The team from the Holy Realm that descended into Punoze is incredibly strong. They’ve already breached the periphery area and are expected to reach Catantul in half an hour.”
Li Shaoqiang grew increasingly worried, “Hey, have they informed the Undead Council? What’s the higher-ups in the undead faction saying? Are they really expecting us to handle the Holy Court on our own?”
“The message was relayed to the high-ranking officials of the undead faction as soon as possible, but there hasn’t been any feedback yet,” Tan Shuo shook his head and continued, “As far as I know, most of the undead high-ups are currently absent, so I doubt they ever planned to send reinforcements.”
Li Shaoqiang felt speechless upon hearing this.
No way, did he really jinx it?
The undead’s roots were about to be wiped out in the mid-tier game world, and they still weren’t coming to assist?
Were they really this big-hearted?
Throughout the ongoing battles between the undead and the Holy Court, the Holy Court had always kept the undead under its heel, which was closely tied to the undead high-ranking officials’ laid-back attitude.
Tan Shuo frowned and pondered, “The high-ranking officials of the undead faction might have other important matters at hand; they have their own plans…”
“Enough with the grand plans,” Li Shaoqiang interjected. “The problem is, what do we do now? Are we really going to confront the Holy Court head-on?”
“The two deputy tower masters are currently preparing to defend the Tower of Bones. We can either join the battle or find another way to break through the Holy Court’s invading team,” Tan Shuo replied, then paused, glancing at Fang Heng.
Fang Heng shrugged casually, “Alright, if that’s what you say, let’s go for it then.”
Let’s fight it out.
Fang Heng had a clear understanding of the Holy Realm’s strength. Even if they couldn’t win, causing some disruption on the side was still feasible.
If they could take down one, that would be a bonus!
Whatever benefits they could gain would be worth it.
If things turned sour, they could always retreat.
He could go offline and find another chance to escape later.
As for the Punoze world…
If the undead faction didn’t care, why should he be in a hurry?
After discussing their plans, they were about to seek out the instructors from the Tower of Bones for a mission when they noticed five players approaching them from a distance.
“Lord Fang Heng, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you; I’ve heard much about you.”
The leader of the five players, a young man, looked at Fang Heng and nodded with respect, “I’m Norbert, the president of the Eternal Night Guild. These are my core members. May I have a moment of your time?”
Fang Heng didn’t move his feet but looked at him, asking, “How did you find me?”
“Uh…” Norbert hesitated for a moment before nodding. “I’ve admired you for a long time; the mask you wear is exactly like the one in the photos posted online.”
“Alright then.”
Fang Heng motioned for Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo to follow him as he walked with Norbert and the others to a secluded corner nearby.
“Lord Fang Heng, Punoze is currently under attack. Do you have any thoughts on the matter?”
