1278 Do it Again

“Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. After our a.n.a.lysis, we unanimously agreed that the so-called shortage of elemental crystals was just Fang Heng’s delaying tactic. He was unable to build a large number of mage towers in a short period of time, so he used the excuse of lacking raw materials and offered a large price to buy them from outsiders. Fang Heng was sure that no one else had such resources other than the royal family.”

“We can find someone to make a deal with Fang Heng. On one hand, we can use useless resources to obtain a large number of military resources from Fang Heng to prepare for the war with Tang Mingyue. On the other hand, Fang Heng has sufficient construction materials and no reason to delay the construction of the mage tower. Once the feudal lord finds out that the ghost tower is ineffective against the plague aura, they will naturally not let Fang Heng off.”

Tang Wu frowned.

Thinking about it carefully, this plan did not sound like a problem.

However, he had concerns about the Holy Court.

The Holy Court had made consecutive mistakes in their judgment of the Land of Plague and Fang Heng.

Tang Wu already didn’t trust them.

“What you said makes sense, but it’s still inappropriate. I heard that Fang Heng can borrow the power of the undead creatures to build a tower. In just half a day, he built a Tier 2 ghost tower in the city. He does have the ability to build a mage tower. What if the ghost tower really has the ability to dispel the plague? Wouldn’t we be giving the enemy a great gift?”

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. I guarantee with my life that the ghost tower doesn’t have such an ability!”

Karkkila was very confident. Even the Holy Tower of Light of the Holy Court could only release a defensive barrier to slightly resist the corrosion of the plague aura. How could the ghost tower of the necromancy element dispel the plague aura?

That was impossible!

Tang Wu stared at Karkkila and didn’t dare to say anything.

He was already scared of Karkkila.

Several times, the things he said that seemed impossible came true.

When Karkkila saw Tang Wu’s untrusting look, he also thought of what he had said before. He could only change his words and say sincerely, “Your Majesty, making a magic core is extremely time-consuming. Even if he was given a large number of resources, he wouldn’t be able to complete it in a short period of time.”

Tang Wu nodded.

This explanation was obviously more reliable. He turned around and looked at Ashton, the president of the Empire Mage a.s.sociation.

Ashton nodded and said, “Indeed.”

In fact, every year, the Empire would secretly deduct a portion of the collected elemental crystal materials, produce a portion of the magic cores, destroy a portion of the materials, and then announce the rest to the public. They had always claimed that they lacked materials and could not ma.s.s produce them. In fact, part of it was to balance the development of the Mage a.s.sociation within the Empire.

In this situation, the Mage a.s.sociation had already broken away from the Empire’s control. If the Mage a.s.sociation’s power grew, who would have the final say in the Empire?

Over the years, a portion of the magic materials had been acc.u.mulated in the warehouse every year. After that, more and more of them had been acc.u.mulated, and even a lot of magic cores had been acc.u.mulated.

It could not be used, so it was simply thrown into the Empire’s treasury by the previous royal family to collect dust.

It was naturally not bad to use them to exchange for some strategic materials.

Tang Wu remembered that the president of the Alchemy Society, Ovian, had mentioned to him last night that he wanted some rare materials. He said that they had the ability to deal with Fang Heng’s sacred tree in the Land of Plague.

Perhaps he could give the materials he traded to the Alchemy Society to try.

Using the materials provided by Fang Heng to deal with the Land of Plague?

It seemed pretty good.

Tang Wu narrowed his eyes and asked, “What about the middle and worst plan?”

“Your Majesty, the ghost tower is unable to expel the plague. According to the information we received from the Tianshu Academy, the plague in the mining area of Lincoln City has indeed disappeared. We have discussed it with the Alchemy Society before, and we all agree that Lord Fang Heng has used some methods to strengthen the original seal in the iron mine.”

“We just need to send someone to investigate Lincoln City and find out what Fang Heng did in the mine. After we find out everything, we’ll announce it to the public. When Fang Heng’s scheme is exposed, Her Highness Mingyue’s reputation will naturally plummet.”

Tang Wu naturally understood what he meant by ‘investigate everything’. He frowned and said, “Lincoln City is now under Fang Heng’s control. It’s very dangerous to infiltrate and investigate personally.”

“Your Majesty, thanks for your trust, I’m willing to personally lead people to expose Fang Heng’s scheme.”

Tang Wu thought for a moment but did not agree. He continued, “No hurry, let’s talk about the worst plan first.”

“Yes.”

Karkkila nodded confidently and said, “As for the worst plan, it’s extremely dangerous. It’s the last resort after the best plan fails. Once it gets out, it won’t be good for us. I suggest not using it unless it’s a critical period.”

Tang Wu nodded and said, “Yes. Everyone here can be trusted. You go first.”

“We can think of a way to completely release the plague aura.”

Tang Wu’s pupils shrank.

“The plague aura was released by the abyssal demon hidden deep in the underground world. Now that its aura has leaked, it means that the lower seal has loosened. Once the seal is opened a little more, the plague aura will leak even more violently. The alchemy magic seal left behind by Fang Heng will definitely not be able to withstand it.”

Killing intent appeared in Karkkila’s eyes as he said in a deep voice, “At that time, we can announce to the public that Fang Heng’s ghost tower not only failed to eliminate the plague but was also the culprit that caused it!”

The entire hall fell silent.

Everyone immediately felt a chill in their hearts.

The Holy Court was actually so ruthless? So unscrupulous?

If the plague spread again, the entire continent would fall into greater chaos.

At that time, let alone Fang Heng, could the royal family hold on?

Could the Empire hold on?

If this move was used, the outcome was very likely to be mutual destruction!

Karkkila also knew how risky the last plan was. After saying that, he took half a step back and stood in the crowd.

“Your Majesty, please make a decision.”

Tang Wu glanced at Karkkila.

“The best plan will be carried out together with the middle plan. The best plan will be left to Ding Shixiu. Karkkila, you will personally lead people to investigate Lincoln City. As for the worst plan, there is no need to mention it in the future. I want to know everything about Fang Heng. Is that clear?”

“Yes!”

“That’s all for now. Don’t leak a word of today’s discussion to the outside world. Everyone, disperse first.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Seeing that everyone had left, Tang Wu signaled with his eyes to Karkkila to stay.

After everyone left, Tang Wu looked at Karkkila and said in a deep voice, “Prepare the worst plan you mentioned. I will allow you to release a small amount of the plague aura within a controllable range. Be careful and don’t leak it.”

Karkkila narrowed his eyes, and his face revealed an expression of ‘as expected’ as he nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I understand. Leave everything to me.”
