Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game Chapter 1120 – 1120 Putting the Blame

1120 Putting the Blame

“So it’s like this.”

Lord Brent didn’t doubt him and asked anxiously, “Has the fire inside stopped? Did the Land of Plague suffer any losses?”

“Yes, the fire has stopped. I’m sorry, My Lord. A few of the mages in my team are injured and need to be sent to Hani City for treatment immediately. We’ll take our leave first.”

Ed waved his hand at the team, wanting to run away with them.

“Wait!”

Why were they running so fast?

Lord Brent frowned and raised his hand to stop Ed’s team from running away. He just felt that Ed had left in a hurry, running away without even saying a word.

When Ed was stopped, his whole body tensed up, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

He adjusted his breathing, slowly turned his head, and cupped his fists at Lord Brent. He asked, “What other instructions does My Lord have?”

“What’s the hurry? Let me ask you, how did you guys get into the Land of Plague?”

Lord Brent noticed that as soon as Ed and the others left, the vines around the entrance to the Land of Plague automatically closed, so he stopped him and asked.

Ed heaved a sigh of relief and threw a black cloud crystal rune at Lord Brent from afar.

“My Lord, it can open a passage for you to the inside of the Land of Plague, but the plants in the Land of Plague are still unstable. You must be extra careful. My men are seriously injured. I’m sorry, I have to take my leave first.”

Ed then led his team to retreat quickly.

Lord Brent took the crystal rune and examined it carefully.

It looked like an ordinary crystal, but there were many obscure alchemy runes carved on it.

Lord Brent picked up the runestone and tried to walk towards the entrance of the forest.

“Chi Chi Chi…”

The forest vines sensed the crystal rune and retracted to the left and right, once again revealing the entrance to the inner part of the Land of Plague.

“What do you think, Chepo?” asked Lord Brent. “Can we go inside the Land of Plague and check it out?”

Chebo felt a little strange.

He looked away from Ed and the others who were running away in a hurry and nodded, “Since the fire has disappeared, it means that the ghost tower should be safe. However, from the description of the players from the Prilla Gaming Guild, the forest has been triggered and is unstable. It might be dangerous to enter it rashly, so I don’t recommend taking the initiative to enter.”

“Alright, I’ll get someone to try and fire two signal flares.”

Lord Brent ordered his men to release the signal flares and waited patiently at the entrance for another two minutes.

Seeing that there was no movement within the Land of Plague, Lord Brent waved his hand to signal for the team to enter the forest carefully.

The team carefully moved along the opened passage for less than two minutes. Then, they saw Fang Heng and Ma Xiaowan’s mercenary group coming from the front of the path.

“Lord Fang Heng! Are you alright?”

Seeing that Fang Heng was fine, Lord Brent felt as if a stone in his heart had been lifted off the ground. He waved his hand to signal to Fang Heng.

“Yes.”

Fang Heng nodded and waved his hand in response.

“Lord Brent, I’m fine, but my territory has just been attacked by the barbarians. Previously, someone deliberately set fire to the serene ghost tower. The serene ghost tower has suffered heavy losses, and the flames have even spread and affected the sacred tree. If I had not arrived in time, I’m afraid the consequences would have been even worse.”

Barbarian race? Set fire?

Lord Brent and his two accompanying feudal lords were shocked when they heard the news.

“What about the losses? What’s the situation now? Have the barbarian race been forced to retreat?”

“The barbarian race has been temporarily repelled.”

Fang Heng took a deep breath and continued with a pained tone, “However, a group of humans who came with the barbarians escaped first. More than half of the newly built ghost towers in the territory were burned down. More than half of the resources stored in the ghost towers were destroyed. Even the magic cores were stolen by the enemy.”

What!

The magic cores had been stolen?

Lord Brent’s pupils suddenly locked, and there was a surge of anger in his heart.

Attacking the Land of Plague and deliberately setting fire! Even the magic cores were stolen!

“Who is it? Who did it?”

Lord Brent’s fief was vast. He had signed an agreement with Fang Heng to build two mage towers in the first batch. He would need to build more mage towers later on. Naturally, he wanted to build a good relationship and cooperate with Fang Heng.

Now, the magic cores were gone.

What about the mage towers?!

The two feudal lords who had followed him were also anxious.

One of them looked at Fang Heng and said, “We lack magic cores. As for the mage tower…”

“Everyone, there’s no need to panic.”

Fang Heng consoled the crowd, “I’m on good terms with Her Highness Mingyue. We can ask for help from the Empire. We should be able to get the magic cores. For now, we can build the other parts of the mage tower. Once the magic core is ready and loaded, we can awaken the power of the ghost tower.”

“It won’t delay the construction time, but I’m afraid that the time for the ghost tower to be used will be delayed a little…”

Hearing this, everyone’s faces turned ugly.

After all, magic cores were extremely rare. If this batch of magic cores was gone, it would not be easy to get new ones.

“Lord Fang Heng, do you know who did this?” asked Lord Brent. “Can we think of a way to retrieve the stolen magic cores?”

“I came too late, I didn’t manage to catch the culprit.” Fang Heng looked at Lord Brent, sighed, and shook his head helplessly. “By the way, did you see anyone when you came here just now? The group of humans who brought the barbarians here fled in this direction. I chased them all the way here and ended up meeting you all.”

An enemy passing by?

“No. I didn’t…”

As the words came to his mouth, Lord Brent suddenly thought of something.

He shut his mouth and exchanged glances with the two Empire feudal lords beside him.

The Prilla Gaming Guild!

Ed!

It was actually them!

Detestable!

He had been tricked!

Lord Brent suddenly understood the whole situation.

Thinking about it carefully, the few of them had already rushed over as soon as they discovered the fire, so how could the Prilla Gaming Guild have come over earlier than them?

“This is strange, you didn’t see anyone? So how did they suddenly disappear? Moreover, they were able to sneak into the Land of Plague and set fire to the ghost tower. This is too strange…”

Fang Heng muttered to himself. Suddenly, he thought of something. He frowned and shifted his gaze to Lord Brent.

He looked suspicious and asked, “Lord Brent, if I may ask, where did you get the black cloud crystal rune in your hand? This is a pass unique to our Land of Plague. It can avoid the defense of the sacred tree.”

Lord Brent’s jaw dropped, and he subconsciously looked at the rune crystal in his hand.

F*ck! There was no mistake!

No wonder he saw Ed just now, the latter seemed to be very nervous!

That traitor!

From the very beginning, he had wanted to destroy their cooperation with the Land of Plague!
