Chapter 2372 The Target
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
In fact, the current situation between the undead and the Holy Court had largely been shaped by Fang Heng.There were even rumors that the Holy Court had been severely impacted from the beginning because of Fang Heng, and as a result, the undead faction had gained a significant advantage.
But now, those advantages were rapidly diminishing.
“Is that so? I’ve heard of his name; he’s very powerful,” Shi Lipeng said with a gentle smile, looking at Li Qingran. “He certainly has the capability to join the high-level meetings. Why not invite him in for a detailed discussion?”
“Alright.”
The undead players present had no objections either.
Fang Heng’s past achievements had all been hard-earned through sheer strength.
Hadn’t this guy been pursued relentlessly by the Holy Court’s holy realm and still managed to stand here alive and well?
Regardless of whether he had been hunkered down, being pursued so recklessly by the Holy Court was a testament to his strength.
Apart from the players, there were several elderly NPCs from the undead faction in the council hall. Most of the time, they kept to themselves, their eyes closed in meditation. However, upon hearing Fang Heng’s name, they all opened their eyes, their gazes tinged with curiosity.
Soon, two necromancy attendants led Fang Heng into the council hall.
Immediately, countless eyes focused on Fang Heng.
Just as the rumors had said, he was very young!
Fang Heng had originally come to meet Li Qingran to understand the current state of the undead and the Holy Court and to discuss how to deal with the Holy Court to maximize his gains.
After all, he didn’t have much time left.
Entering the hall, Fang Heng was somewhat surprised by the grand setup.
He scanned the surroundings and noticed that Lord Dani and the Federation members were absent. The only familiar faces were Li Qingran and a few players from the Necromancer Association.
“Fang Heng, it’s a pleasure to meet you. We are currently discussing how to deal with the Holy Court, so your timing is perfect,” Shi Lipeng said, maintaining a warm smile. He gestured to the seat beside him. “Please, have a seat.”
“Thank you.”
Fang Heng glanced at Shi Lipeng.
The guy appeared quite young.
He had heard that the operations of the undead faction were seemingly under Shi Lipeng’s control?
Not bothering with pleasantries, Fang Heng walked directly to the indicated seat and sat down. “Due to some recent circumstances, I’ve been pursued by the Holy Court. I’ve come across a good opportunity to strike back. I plan to target a game world controlled by the Holy Court and aim to completely destroy it.”
After a pause, Fang Heng added, “I don’t have much time—at most 24 hours—so the battle needs to be concluded within that timeframe. That’s the general idea, and I seek your assistance.”
The players in the room immediately began to whisper among themselves.
What a bold claim—starting with the intention of completely destroying an entire game world controlled by the Holy Court!
And all within 24 hours.
It sounded a bit overly ambitious.
A high-tier undead faction player team deputy leader pondered for a moment and asked, “Fang Heng, do you have a specific target in mind?”
“No,” Fang Heng replied. “I’ve been out in the Outer World recently, so I’m not very familiar with the Holy Court. My intention in coming here is to discuss with you all and find a suitable world to strike. Of course, while we’re at it, we might also consider attacking other worlds to maximize our gains.”
His statement left the room in silence.
It sounded as if Fang Heng was casually claiming he could wipe out an entire Holy Court world.
One player frowned slightly and said, “Fang Heng, your plan seems too broad. I think we should not rush into it and instead slowly discuss and come up with a detailed plan.”
An older elder nodded in agreement, “Indeed, deciding now might be a bit hasty. Fang Heng, I’m curious about how you plan to destroy the Holy Court game world. It would be helpful if you could explain a bit more so we can understand what we’re dealing with.”
“Sorry, but my time here is limited. The general plan is this: I need you to help me select a suitable target, take me into that world, and provide me with some assistance. As for the means of destruction, that’s a personal secret I cannot disclose.”
The room fell silent again, with everyone looking towards Shi Lipeng.
Shi Lipeng also found the situation challenging.
Fang Heng had a high reputation within the undead faction. Both players and NPCs spoke highly of him.
Although Fang Heng’s proposed plan seemed somewhat far-fetched, his requirements were not unreasonable. He only asked for some support.
In normal circumstances, even if the plan seemed unfeasible, Shi Lipeng would likely agree to help out as a favor to Fang Heng.
However, the timing was critical. They were executing the next phase of their plan, which had been in preparation for over half a month. They could not afford any mistakes.
They didn’t have the time to assist Fang Heng’s actions at the moment.
“Sorry, Fang Heng, but I cannot agree to this.”
Fang Heng turned to Shi Lipeng, scrutinizing him for a moment before nodding, “Could you provide me with a reason?”
“Originally, this matter was confidential, but Fang Heng, you’re not an outsider,” Shi Lipeng said, looking at Li Qingran. “Qingran, you’re the one who formulated the action plan. Please explain.”
“Sure,” Li Qingran began, “Fang Heng, we have actually developed an action plan. The target is a mid-tier game world that is largely under the control of the Holy Court. We plan to act covertly to release the high-tier creatures trapped in this mid-tier world. Once successful, the Holy Court will be affected and will have to deal with the repercussions.”
“During this opportunity, we will also make additional arrangements, such as working to overthrow the Holy Court’s rule in this world…”
Fang Heng listened carefully and quickly understood.
Essentially, the undead faction planned to use a mid-tier game world, largely controlled by the Holy Court, as a starting point. They would release high-tier creatures from that world to disrupt the Holy Court’s dominance. They would also set up ambushes to exhaust the Holy Court’s higher-tier reinforcements, dragging the world into a war and creating a quagmire for the Holy Court.
It was a good plan overall.
However, it would take too much time.
He couldn’t afford to wait for several days.
It was more efficient to follow his own plan, which was simple and effective.
But…
He wasn’t familiar with anyone in the room except for Li Qingran.
It would be too difficult to convince them to follow his plan.
“Understood. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.”
With that, Fang Heng stood up and left under the gaze of everyone in the council hall.
The people in the council hall watched as Fang Heng departed, exchanging glances in silence.
Li Qingran stood up and said, “Everyone, Fang Heng might be facing some special tasks that he couldn’t disclose to us. I’ll go and speak with him.”
“Alright, hurry and talk to him,” Shi Lipeng nodded. “Fang Heng is very strong and could be a tremendous asset to the undead faction. Explain our situation to him, and I’m sure he’ll understand our current predicament.”
