Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game Chapter 2380 Hope

Chapter 2380 Hope

Achieving this was already astonishing, but it was far from over!
Just moments ago, King Angelo had received the latest news: even the renowned sword saint of the White Bamboo Principality had fallen at that person's hands!
Now, even the capital of the White Bamboo Principality had been completely destroyed!
Was such a remarkable achievement truly the work of just one person?
As Angelo reviewed the battle reports from the front lines, his hands trembled slightly, and he felt a sense of disorientation as if it were all unreal.
"Your Majesty, the White Bamboo Principality is currently in turmoil, and this is a prime opportunity for us to strike. We must not let it slip away," the Empire's General said, clasping his fists. "Please allow me to send troops to conquer the White Bamboo Principality at once!"
"Good!"
King Angelo finally reacted.
Just as the General said, now was the best opportunity to occupy the territory of the White Bamboo Principality!
Angelo immediately declared, "Deploy the troops at once! The situation is urgent, and I leave all battlefield decisions to the General!"
"I take my leave!"
The Empire's General hurriedly accepted the command and left.
Not long after, a guard rushed into the Great Hall with a report.
"Your Majesty, Sir, the temple guardians Ryan and Wallace have just returned with a necromancy mage and wish to see you at the gates."
Angelo's expression turned serious as he nodded, "Quickly, invite them in! We must not delay."
"Yes!"
Soon, Angelo met Fang Heng.
At the moment Fang Heng entered, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of all the ministers in the Great Hall, including King Angelo.
He was surprisingly young!
They never expected that the one who could single-handedly slay the Empire's sword saint and completely topple the White Bamboo Principality would be so youthful!
"Greetings, young warrior. On behalf of the Kingdom of Horus, I welcome your arrival."
Angelo intentionally extended an olive branch, rising from his throne and slightly bowing to Fang Heng, offering him the highest honor of the Empire.

"It's an honor to meet you, Your Majesty."
Fang Heng glanced at the game hint, then directed his gaze toward Angelo, returning the gesture of respect.
It seemed the king's attitude was quite favorable, which made the several hours he spent grinding for reputation worthwhile.
Angelo waved his hand, signaling everyone to withdraw.
"Your subjects take their leave."
The ministers gradually exited the Great Hall.
Once only Fang Heng and a few trusted guards remained, Angelo slowly descended from the throne and stood before Fang Heng, speaking earnestly, "Fang Heng, I have heard from Ryan and Wallace about your matters. I sincerely hope you will accept my invitation to serve as the Grand Mage of the Kingdom of Horus. Your wisdom and talent will surely bring prosperity to our nation."
Ryan and Wallace exchanged glances, feeling a mix of astonishment and admiration.
Grand Mage!
The position of Grand Mage was only second to the king in the entire country and was on equal footing with the Empire's General.
For a mage, this was a dream position.
Since Fang Heng entered the game, it had only been about three hours, yet he was already offered such a prestigious role?
Fang Heng did not agree or refuse; instead, he asked, "King Angelo, do you remember the promise you made to me?"
"Of course, I will defer to the Grand Mage's arrangements."
Fang Heng fixed his gaze on Angelo and said solemnly, "If all goes well, this world could very well be destroyed, and everything will vanish completely, including your kingdom and your people. Do you really not care?"
As Angelo listened to Fang Heng's words, his expression became grave.
When he first heard Ryan and Wallace mention their plan to destroy the world, he hadn't taken it seriously.
He had heard claims of world destruction before, but who could truly achieve it?
Hadn't the world continued to exist just fine?
But Fang Heng was different.
He had already demonstrated his power.
Angelo had to consider this seriously.
After a moment, Angelo nodded and said, "Fang Heng, you may not know this, but my parents and siblings died at the hands of the Holy Court. From the day I escaped that disaster, I vowed to make them pay for what they did. Ever since that day, I have endured immense suffering. The desire for revenge has been my greatest motivation. If I can bring the Holy Court to ruin along with me, I would gladly accept!"
"Very well. I need a batch of materials gathered as soon as possible. Additionally, I've surveyed the terrain, and I want to establish a large altar at the edge of the White Bamboo Principality. The materials should be transported there first."
"Understood. I've already sent people to collect the materials you need. Most of it is ready, and the rest is on its way. As soon as it arrives, we will transport it to the border region immediately."
As Angelo spoke, a flicker of fervor flashed in his eyes.
The Kingdom of Horus was merely a small nation struggling for survival amidst the larger powers, and there was always the chance it could be wiped out at any moment.
As for the so-called revenge, Angelo knew in his heart that it was, in fact, a lofty aspiration.
But now, Fang Heng had suddenly appeared.
This was a chance from heaven for him.
He knew that Fang Heng had an extraordinary background.
Despite the fact that the Kingdom of Horus might very well become the Holy Court's next target, so what?
At least now he had the opportunity to take a bold gamble!
Before, he hadn't even had the right to sit at the gambling table!
...
The Holy Court's response was not as swift as Fang Heng had anticipated.
By the time the central church of the Holy Court in the Tapetel world received reports of the White Bamboo Principality's destruction, five hours had already passed.
After all, the Kingdom of Horus was so small that it was barely on their radar. They had never considered it a threat.
Who could have imagined that the Kingdom of Horus would suddenly erupt, annihilating one of their small Holy Paladin honorary knight squads!
What audacity!
Upon learning of this, the archbishop of the central church found the situation quite peculiar.
How could a nation as weak as the Kingdom of Horus have managed to eradicate an honorary knight squad?
In just three short hours, they couldn't even have destroyed the White Bamboo Principality with their capabilities!
The archbishop remembered past reports that indicated the presence of necromancers within the Kingdom of Horus.
Could it be related to the undead faction?
This thought flashed through the archbishop's mind, but he quickly chuckled at the idea.
How could that be?
While the world appeared unstable, everything was, in fact, under the control of the Holy Court.
The various conflicts around the world were orchestrated by the Ecclesiastical Templars in the shadows, merely aimed at cultivating more talented individuals for the Holy Court.
The Holy Court intentionally left some dissenters alive, intending to use them as "whetstones" for their honorary knights to gain experience.
After all, only those who had experienced the fires of war could become qualified Holy Paladins.
