Chapter 1351 - 1351 An Explosion
1351 An Explosion
Seeing this, Xiao Yun frowned and didn’t say anything more. He continued to lead his team out of the city.
The players immediately took action after receiving the news of the exact location of Xiao Yun’s army.
Li Xue’s team immediately calculated the route of Xiao Yun’s team based on the information they gathered. The online players followed Li Xue’s analysis and rushed to the area where Xiao Yun’s team was heading.
After receiving the news, Younica, Ed, and the others blocked a main road in the city in advance. They soon saw Xiao Yun’s main team rushing over from the back of the street.
They had finally found them!
Younica sized up the Empire’s army behind Xiao Yun.
If she was not mistaken, the layers of protection behind them were the Empire’s holy weapon, the unfair scale.
Tang Mingyue’s eyes flashed with greed.
A holy weapon! This was a genuine holy weapon!
If she could obtain it and sell it for money…
Ed and the others also had solemn expressions on their faces, and they were all on high alert.
This was the last battle.
The leader of the Empire’s royal guards, Xiao Yun, the president of the Alchemy Society, the leader of the Empire’s Mage Guild, and many other people in the army were difficult to deal with.
There were still many unanswered questions in the players’ hearts.
Why did Xiao Yun choose this place to be the main battlefield?
Moreover, the security of the entire city was several times laxer than he had imagined.
Tang Wu hadn’t appeared yet. Could it be that he had other plans?
Seeing that Xiao Yun’s army was in a hurry and didn’t maintain any formation, they seemed to be too careless.
In fact, Xiao Yun and the others even carried the Empire’s holy weapon with them.
Under such circumstances, wasn’t it better to use the Ancestral Dragon Temple to activate the power of the holy weapon again?
Younica was not careless at all. She was on guard against the possible traps that the enemy might have and signaled for everyone to prepare for battle.
In front of them, Xiao Yun appeared at the front of the group. He waved his hand, signaling the group behind him to stop moving forward. Then, he strode forward alone and knelt down on one knee facing Tang Mingyue, shouting, “Your Highness Mingyue, Tang Wu is cruel and heartless. Xiao Yun and the royal guards are willing to surrender. Please accept us!”
What?
The player team that was preparing to engage in a fierce battle with Empire’s army was dumbfounded when they heard this.
Surrender?
They had already prepared for the final battle, yet Xiao Yun suddenly led everyone to surrender.
What was even stranger was that there were people from the various feudal lords in the army behind Xiao Yun. There were even people from the Alchemy Society, the Empire’s Council of Elders, the Holy Court, and the Empire’s mages.
Although this group of people did not kneel down to express their loyalty, they did not have any intention of becoming enemies with them.
What was going on?
Younica was also a little confused. She looked at them with deep doubt in her eyes.
It was too strange!
Was it a trap?
Was this necessary?
Tang Mingyue was also very confused and couldn’t help but look up at Xiao Yun.
She had a vague feeling that Xiao Yun was plotting something in secret, so she asked tentatively, “Get up and talk. Where’s Tang Wu?”
Xiao Yun immediately stood up, his face filled with anxiety as he reported, “Your Highness, Tang Wu has destroyed the seal that sealed the abyssal demon in the Imperial City and has already escaped in advance. We have also been deceived by him. The external seal that the Holy Court left to resist the plague aura will soon be broken. At that time, the plague aura will definitely spread. Your Highness, please retreat from the city immediately. I will explain the details to you!”
Tang Mingyue was stunned and immediately looked at the players beside her.
So that was how it was! It was the seal!
Realization dawned on Younica.
This was indeed a trap!
Everyone had already guessed it before, but they did not expect Tang Wu to be so ruthless. He actually chose to break the seal of the abyssal demon!
It was a suicidal move!
If what Xiao Yun said was true, the plague aura would cause devastating damage to the entire Atama! The plague aura would even spread to the entire continent and drag the entire continent into a crisis!
As for Xiao Yun’s entire army, they were acting as bait to lure them into the trap!
As such, it was reasonable for Xiao Yun to betray him in anger after realizing that he had been abandoned.
Several thoughts flashed through Tang Mingyue’s mind, and she immediately understood the whole situation. She immediately shouted, “All teams, listen up! Retreat immediately!”
Although there were still some doubts about this matter, Tang Mingyue had no time to think about it now.
Their lives were more important!
Retreat first!
The player team and Xiao Yun’s team flew out of the city.
Before they reached the exit of the city, Tang Mingyue felt a slight tremor from the ground under her feet.
Not good!
Just as this thought rose in her mind, a violent explosion sounded beside her ear!
“Boom!”
The ground shook violently.
In the center of the Imperial City, a thick black aura soared into the sky and then suddenly exploded!
The plague aura quickly spread in all directions!
A black patch quickly covered the surroundings!
“Retreat!”
Younica’s forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat as she shouted.
This was bad. She didn’t expect Tang Wu to be so vicious!
The violent plague aura spread, leaving no survivors in the entire city!
Xiao Yun’s army was a sacrifice, and so were they!
Everyone could already feel death approaching. They were about to be swallowed by the plague aura.
The players ran as fast as they could, even though they knew that it was meaningless to run away when the plague aura spread.
The aura spread out even faster, quickly overshadowing the fleeing players and Empire’s army.
[Hint: You have entered a special environment and are affected by a special effect. Your infection index is increasing. Please be careful.]
Eh?
What was going on?
As they ran, the players who were prepared to die suddenly realized that something was wrong.
They found that it seemed to be alright.
Although they were all affected by the plague aura effect, after careful observation, they realized that the infection index in the character attribute pane was not increasing very quickly.
It wasn’t just them. The teammates beside them seemed to be still alive and kicking.
The plague aura that everyone was terrified of didn’t seem to have much of an effect.
The players were surprised to find that after the first wave of the spread of the plague aura, the surrounding plague aura seemed to quickly calm down and dissipate into the air.
Soon, the players at the front had left through the open city gates, leaving Atama completely.
They realized that their infection index had stopped increasing without them realizing it. It had even begun to slowly decrease and recover.
What was going on?
The players were puzzled and could not help but turn around to look at the center of the city again.
The black plague aura that rose from the center of the Imperial City had gradually spread out in all directions, and then gradually faded.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal.
Gone?
Was it over just like that?
What happened to the promised destruction of the seal and the outbreak of the plague aura?
Just like that?
Loud thunder but little rain?
