Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1263 A Trap

The mission did not give a kill hint yet, but Salvador was surrounded by the crowd, and it looked like he could no longer resist.

No one could get any closer.

Tang Mo and Tang Wu continued to use long-range attacks to deal with Salvador but they couldn’t kill him completely! The Empire’s soldiers who tried to charge forward and attack in close combat did not succeed. Instead, they were entangled by the creep and became its nourishment again.

Tang Mo and Tang Wu were clearly divided by the burning creep in the center and were wary of each other.

!!

“Ha…”

Tang Wu looked at Tang Mo from afar and whispered, “Brother, so you’ve also noticed the schemes of Salvador. With your help, we can successfully get rid of the vermin of the Empire. You must be tired at this time of the night. You should go back to your territory first. Leave the rest to me.”

The players frowned.

Tang Wu’s sudden appearance was not part of the plan.

Originally, they had wanted to seize the royal family’s throne after killing Salvador, but now, Tang Wu had suddenly appeared.

Li Xue’s analysis report had also been sent not long ago.

According to the conclusion of the team’s comprehensive analysis, Tang Mo would encounter many obstacles after successfully taking over the Empire, including other feudal lords who were not convinced. Tang Wu was just one of the internal and external troubles.

However, they didn’t expect Tang Wu to make a move at this critical time and bring great trouble to the team.

Li Xue felt that this was most likely the difficulty given by the game.

Tang Mo didn’t speak. He looked at Tang Wu and stood there thinking about something.

Tang Wu took half a step forward and stared at Tang Mo. He asked, “What’s wrong? Do you want to fight with me?”

“I was the first to discover Salvador’s scheme, and I was the one who found someone to seal the demon in the underground palace. Now Salvador is under my control, and you want to fight with me? Tell me, what right do you have!”

Tang Mo’s lips moved and he was speechless.

He had spent most of his time in the territory, so he didn’t know much about what was happening within the royal family. If it weren’t for Ed and his group, he would still be in the dark.

Tang Wu looked at the players behind Tang Mo and said, “And all of you, very good. You all have also contributed to debunking Salvador’s conspiracy. Now, if you help me, I will give you the same as Tang Mo, in fact, I will give you even more!”

Tang Wu turned his head and stared at Tang Mo again, “Tang Mo, I am more suitable to control this Empire than you!”

Suddenly, lines of game hints appeared on the players’ retinas.

[Hint: Player’s current mission-the divided Empire, has changed. Mission triggered-choosing the heir.]

Mission title: Choosing the heir.

Mission description: Salvador’s rebellion has caused the Empire’s royal family to fall into chaos. Tang Wu and Tang Mo are both interested in fighting for the heir to the Empire’s royal family. You can choose to be loyal to one of them.

Mission requirement: Choose any heir to the royal family and swear allegiance to him.

[Hint: Your choice has a high probability of leading the game in a different direction. Please choose carefully.]

[Hint: If you betray the Empire again after pledging your loyalty, your Empire reputation will be greatly reduced.]

[Hint: Player, please choose the person you are loyal to among the heirs of the Empire’s royal family. The heir will receive an additional portion of your Empire reputation.]

Ed and the other players quickly exchanged glances.

The game had finally progressed to this point, but Tang Wu had to appear.

Now that they had encountered a choice-type mission, how should they choose?

In terms of personal ability, Tang Wu wasn’t as good as Tang Mo in all aspects.

However, the players didn’t need to choose a wise ruler of the Empire. Instead, they needed to choose the safest way to complete the mission and obtain the reward as soon as possible.

Focus on the present.

If they choose Tang Mo, they would have to continue fighting Tang Wu.

Their enemies include the Empire’s Council of Elders, the royal family’s mages, the royal guards, and the Holy Court.

There was even the Empire’s sword saint eyeing them from afar.

On Tang Mo’s side, there were only the players and the royal guards who had just surrendered and weren’t loyal enough.

The difference was obvious.

Everyone was in deep thought.

How about…

Why not just give in?

They weren’t familiar with Tang Mo.

If they could go for the simple option, they could complete this mission and still be rewarded, although the reward might be lesser.

Compared to the huge risk, surrendering was much easier. It could quickly resolve the internal strife in the royal family.

The guild leaders present had the same thought.

Ed had the same idea at first. His eyes swept over Tang Mo and his expression changed slightly. He stopped Tang Mo and said, “Everyone, wait!”

No!

No way! They couldn’t give in!

The seemingly simple option of joining Tang Wu was actually the biggest trap!

Tang Mo didn’t seem to have any background but he still had Tang Mingyue behind him, and that terrifying Lord Fang Heng of the Land of Plague!

The most important person was none other than Fang Heng!

All players looked at Ed.

Ed said in a deep voice, “Everyone, don’t forget that we still have the abyssal demon to deal with. Moreover, they are on the same side as the Holy Court. The Holy Court once said that the Land of Plague is the source of this disaster.”

...

Everyone’s expression changed as they immediately understood Ed’s hint, and their hearts skipped a beat.

That was close!

They almost fell for it!

Everyone thought of Lord Fang Heng.

The abyssal demon and the legacies of the Empire’s Saints!

Seizing the Empire was only the first step of the mission.

Lord Fang Heng had a bigger plan!

It seemed like they had chosen a better plan by defecting to Tang Wu, but in reality, once they pledged allegiance to Tang Wu, they would be standing on the side of the Holy Court and would be standing on the opposite side of Lord Fang Heng.

A player hurriedly logged in and whispered, “The offline analysis has come to a conclusion. With our current ability to fight Tang Wu, the winning rate is only 10%. The model analysis shows that the best choice is to immediately take His Highness Tang Mo away from the Imperial City. This will lead to the division of the Empire. The Empire’s feudal lords will choose their successors to surrender and the Empire will fall into a period of civil strife.”

“Also, Li Xue asked me to tell everyone that the Holy Court has already allied with Tang Wu, so you must not pledge allegiance to Tang Wu. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the game hint popped up on the players’ retinas again.

...

[Hint: In the player team, the feudal lord of the Land of Plague, Fang Heng, has chosen to pledge allegiance to one of the heirs of the Empire, Tang Mingyue.]

[Hint: Fang Heng has successfully killed the abyssal demon. Tang Mingyue’s heir to the Empire reputation has increased greatly.]

[Hint: Player’s current mission-exploring the underground palace, has entered a settlement state… player will be rewarded according to their contribution…]

For a moment, the players were stunned when they saw several hints suddenly appear.

What was going on?

Tang Mingyue?!
