Chapter 1052: Crippling Them in One Blow
"The Holy Hall is about to prepare for the selection of new Holy Seats, while also adding new blasphemers to the list..."
"Queen Brittany of the Yeko Kingdom, City Lord Wen Mansha of Lundham City, Hartel the Minister of Internal Affairs of Lundham City."
"Philippa, Mini, Robey, Andre Willow, Anit from Gold and Silver Island... Aifulin, Selia from the Spirit Awakening Sect..."
"Great Elder Sindarian of the Wood Elves, Second Elder Tarnos, Sixth Elder Shanaela..."
Radio room.
Wu Heng stared at the intercepted information in his hand, his eyes suddenly tightened.
The Holy Hall will soon select three new Holy Seats, which Wu Heng had already guessed.
But the situation at hand indeed exceeded his expectations.
The Holy Court actually labeled those close to him as blasphemers.
In other words, the people on the list will become legitimate targets for the Holy Court's elimination.
This centuries-old powerful force suddenly targeted ordinary professionals.
After all, in the Holy Court's original plan, the target was only him.
As long as they eliminate him, the "source of disaster," the rest are insignificant ants.
But now, they are clearly panicking.
Currently, the most dangerous are Wen Mansha in Lundham City and Brittany in the Yeko Kingdom.
Although Wen Mansha is his maid, her position in his heart is not that of a dispensable servant.
Furthermore, his daughter is absolutely not allowed to encounter any accidents.
Brittany is the same, already pregnant with his child, always relying on him like a little fan girl.
He won't let her encounter any accidents either.
"Before the Holy Seat selection is complete, the skeletons are enough to protect their safety." Wu Heng whispered to himself.
He arranged Level 20 skeleton attendants around them both.
In addition, there are numerous Level 18 and 19 skeleton guards. With such a configuration, unless a hero personally goes over, there won't be any danger.
"As long as a plan is devised before the Holy Court's new hero emerges, there is still time."
His gaze continued to fall on the names behind.
All the names of the Wood Elf Elders were on the list.
For the first time, Wu Heng knew what the elders were called.
"If the Elder's Council knew this, they'd be scared half to death." Wu Heng chuckled softly.
The Wood Elves always thought their collaboration with Gold and Silver Island was very secretive, and they were well-prepared with excuses.
Now it seems the Holy Court didn't believe any of it; they're just waiting for the right chance.
He returned the notebook to the skeleton recorder, took a deep breath to calm himself down.
The problem isn't too big for now; he still has time to devise a response plan.
...
Buzz buzz~!
The phone vibrated, and he unlocked it to view the screen. It was a message from Lilith, "Are you asleep?"
Wu Heng thought for a moment and replied, "Not yet!"
"Come out, I have something to discuss with you."
"Okay, I'll come to your place!"
"Mm!"
After ending the message, Wu Heng put on his clothing.
No doubt, Lilith sought him for matters about intelligence.
The interception of information needs to remain confidential, and he could take this opportunity to hear Lilith's opinion.
[Teleportation Technique] was cast, and his figure vanished.
...
In Lilith's bedroom, the array dissolved, and Wu Heng silently appeared.
Faint floral scents filled the room, and Lilith leaned by the window, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall.
She held a white porcelain cup elegantly and gracefully while sipping.
"Miss me?" Wu Heng smiled, moving closer.
Lilith extended a slender finger to press against his forehead, pushing him away with a solemn tone, "The Holy Court sent over new intelligence; let me tell you about it."
Wu Heng's smile faded as he sat opposite her, "What tricks are they playing now?"
Lilith set the teacup down and meticulously explained the intelligence.
The Holy Hall's selection of new Holy Seats and the addition of blasphemers... the content matched what Wu Heng intercepted completely.
"Didn't the association say that our personal vendettas shouldn't implicate ordinary professionals?" Wu Heng frowned deeply.
Lilith picked up her teacup and swirled it lightly, "The people on the list are either your maids or hold significant positions. They are considered your 'supporters.'"
Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, seeing validity in this perspective.
If they were caught up in personal conflict, the association couldn't categorize them as innocent professionals.
"Do you have any suggestions?" Wu Heng asked.
"Before you arrived, I pondered it and summarized three points." Lilith raised her fingers, "First, closely monitor the Holy Court's movements, prepare in advance. Second, have the association provide protection for important figures like Wen Mansha and Brittany; the Holy Court won't dare murder under the association's pressure. Third, have everyone return to Gold and Silver Island..."
Wu Heng listened attentively, understanding Lilith's thoughts.
The first point goes without saying; foreseeing the enemy's movements is crucial.
The second point involves seeking the association's protection, but the list is extensive, including not only Wen Mansha and Brittany but also several core bishops of the Spirit Awakening Sect and the Elder's Council of the Wood Elves.
Currently, the third point seems more feasible, having everyone return to Gold and Silver Island.
With him stationed at Gold and Silver Island, the Holy Court's heroes wouldn't dare approach recklessly.
Yet such passive defense is not a long-term solution.
"If I have the Spirit Awakening Sect also issue a notice to clear the Holy Court's churches everywhere, can it constrain them?" Wu Heng shared his idea.
This idea had been used on Saidu before.
Lilith raised an eyebrow, noting Wu Heng's approach was even more radical than the Holy Court's.
