Chapter 980 Illus’s Light of Hope

The four mummy-like thieves who were corrupted by the breath of chaos in the city of Lor'themar were purified by Tang En and nourished by Nora's life force, and returned to health in the blink of an eye.

After devouring the food brought by their companions, they finally had the energy to answer Tang En's question.

Looking at the four thieves sitting in front of him with grateful expressions on their faces, Tang En asked the first question: "What's the situation in Lorthemar City now?"

"It's miserable."

After the thief sitting on the far left finished speaking, he hurriedly added: "My name is Rather."

Tang En nodded to show that he understood and motioned for him to continue.

Lasse said: "By the time people noticed traces of Chaos believers in Lor'themar City, it was already too late. The entire city was being corrupted at an incredible speed. In just one night, almost all the civilians in the city were destroyed. They have become prisoners of Chaos, walking on the streets, constantly converging on the places where Chaos believers gather. They have lost themselves and begun to actively absorb the breath of Chaos."

"When we first tried to escape from that city, the defenseless civilians there had completely turned into members of the Chaos believers. Only a small number of Apocalypse still barely retained their consciousness, and they struggled to leave. Lor'themar, however, was tempted by the aura of chaos, and finally made up his mind to take it apart, but they were always blocked by familiar 'friends', making it impossible for them to leave there."

"In the end, those Apocalypse who had stronger resistance also became prisoners of Chaos. We were relatively lucky. When we found that the city became weird, we already started planning to escape from there. We were in Lor'themar The city has a stronghold that is relatively close to the water outlet by the city wall. We dug a passage through the stronghold and then escaped from Lor'themar City along the water outlet."

"When we left, the entire city was completely corrupted, and there were no survivors left."

After listening to Rather's description, Tang En frowned. He originally thought that the situation of the residents of Lorthemar City was similar to that of them. If he rushed there as soon as possible, he could still save it. If it was according to Rather's words, I'm afraid that city It's completely hopeless.

"The situation appears to be more severe than imagined."

Fiona whispered: "Don't Klein know that continuing the blockade will only make things worse?"

"Of course His Majesty Klein knows, but even if he knows, there is nothing he can do."

Daxus explained: "First of all, the only force that can currently deal with the Chaos Believers is the Holy See of Light, but all the members of the Knights Templar of the Holy See of Light have left the Solant Kingdom and gone to the Illrus Empire."

"The second is the City of Silver, but the City of Silver has always been mainly concerned about the Gate of Chaos. They will take care of the affairs of the Chaos God Cult when they come across it. If they don't come across it, they won't take the initiative to look for it. Klein Your Majesty has blocked the news about Lor'themar, and I'm afraid the Silver City still doesn't know about Lor'themar's situation."

Tang En and Fiona looked at each other, this seemed to be a breakthrough.

Tang En's identity and position are not suitable for directly intervening in the internal affairs of the Solant Kingdom, but the Holy See of Light and the City of Silver can definitely stand up and speak on his behalf.

"Next, tell us about the specific situation of Lor'themar City, including the city's area, population, and distribution of residential areas, etc."

Lasse followed Tang En's instructions and began to explain in detail. There were some things he couldn't understand. The other three thieves supplemented them for him. After these four people's intermittent descriptions, Tang En had some knowledge of the city of Lorthemar. Got a general understanding.

Lor'themar City is quite similar to Alcanretia. They are both secondary cities with a permanent population of about 100,000 people. Including the floating population, the average monthly population is about 150,000 people. When the aura of chaos breaks out, Lor'themar's population at that time was about 130,000.

A full 130,000!

Now all the 130,000 people have become Chaos believers and are surrounded by the army of Solant Kingdom in the city.

If massacre could solve the problem, Klein might have ordered the massacre long ago. You must know that Purandar does not have any so-called humanitarianism on earth.

There is no doubt that the corrupted followers of Chaos are the enemies of the Order camp.

The reason why we didn't send troops to massacre the city was because we were worried that the people sent in would be trapped inside and be corrupted. The stronger the aura of chaos, the faster the corruption. With the current situation in Lor'themar, sending people in would only Increase the number of enemies.

After understanding the detailed situation, Tang En started discussing it with Fiona on the spot, while Agwen and Grandia could only stare from the side.

In this situation, the two of them were of no help.

When Fiona noticed this, she felt a little proud - look, although you are a legendary hero, can't you just stare at the overall situation and diplomacy? Only I can help Tang En!

Egwen didn't notice Fiona's pride. In her understanding, this kind of thing is normal. Everyone has their own specialty, which is also irreplaceable. In the elves, she is a blade dancer. As long as they are responsible for fighting, as for the life issues and political issues of the tribe, those are things that Queen Isally should be responsible for.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this unique thinking mode that the elves are in such a special state.

After a short impromptu discussion, Tang En and Fiona finalized a rough plan.

Return to Yalinks and inform the Holy See of Light, asking Jesolini XXIII to come forward to directly force Emperor Klein to express his stance. At the same time, contact Jean and ask him to put pressure on the Kingdom of Solant as the lord of the Silver City. Demand a solution to Lor'themar's situation.

There is a high probability that Klein will not easily agree to allow magicians from the City of Silver to enter the Kingdom of Solant. A city has been completely corrupted. This is simply an indelible scandal. Once it breaks out, the entire Kingdom of Solant will be affected. , no, it should be said that the entire public opinion of Purandal will probably completely turn against Klein, and his support will drop significantly.

Although the Solant Kingdom also has a feudal kingship system, if Klein wants to unify Purandal and become a generation of emperors, a good reputation is essential. The outbreak of this scandal will make him infamous, even if he really Purandar, who has unified with force, will probably face the rebels under various banners next.

This is why Tang En paid so much attention to the impact of various policies on the people after taking office, and even unscrupulously used Datang Daily to guide public opinion in a favorable direction.

Fiona took the initiative and said, "Let's go back now."

"Then our date..."

Fiona was extremely considerate of Tang En and said with a smile: "I was satisfied that you could accompany me for a day yesterday. Business is more important."

She is really a very smart woman, she understands right and wrong, and she also knows how to retreat in order to advance. Even though Tang En knew that this was her little cleverness, he was still very moved by her thoughtfulness and generosity.

If this were to happen on earth, do you expect women to understand? It's more reliable to hope that the sun will rise from the west. Even if the end of the world comes, this date must continue. Do you have to go back to the company to work overtime?

I'll start by turning you upside down.

Tang En stood up and said to Daxus: "I am very satisfied with what happened this time. As for you, although you used to be thieves who made a living by stealing, I think your ability is not just about stealing things. It would be more meaningful if used for intelligence collection."

Daxus felt happy, knowing that Tang En was going to arrange for them.

"Therefore, I decided to recruit you, and you will work for me from now on."

Tang En scanned around, took out a stack of contracts, and said, "There are twenty-two people in total. Please sign this."

Daxus took the contract and handed it over. After reading it briefly, he took a breath and was stunned.

"You, you are actually... His Majesty Tang En of the Illrus Empire!?"

Prior to this, no matter how boldly Daxus thought, he could not imagine that the "Nobodi" in front of him turned out to be His Majesty the Regent of the Illus Empire!

In the Thieves Guild, there is almost as much information about Tang En as there is a mountain. Any trivial information will be collected. There is even a separate cabinet in the headquarters to store information related to Tang En.

There is no other reason. Tang En is the most influential king in the past thousand years!

Due to Ellington's rapid rise, the influence of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce has gradually spread, and his figure has gradually appeared in the sight of other forces.

His origin is a mystery!

His strength is a mystery!

His rise is as fast as lightning!

His creativity is unparalleled!

He amassed wealth at a speed that even the dragons looked at with disbelief!

His ascension to the throne was a dramatic one!

His relationships with other races are amazing...

his……

All of this cannot help but attract attention to him. Not only the Thieves Guild, but also the Mercenary Guild, the Adventurer Guild and other major powers almost unanimously believe that Tang En will be the last hope for the re-emergence of the Illrus Empire.

And because of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, the Illrus Empire will also rise!

Although Daxus found the terms in the contract to be harsh, he still chose to sign the confidentiality contract, and the remaining twenty-one thieves also signed the contract.

Not to mention anything else, just relying on the ability to cure people infected with the aura of chaos is enough for them to follow Tang En.

Under the witness of Gibkenseth, the god of shadows (and indeed other gods), the contract was established and became a binding force for everyone.

"Very good, now you are considered mine."

Tang En then said: "Afterwards, I will set up a teleportation array here. From now on, this farm will be Ellington's stronghold in Alcanretia. Later, people will come here to carry out transformation, and at the same time, people will come here to contact You guys, you will be incorporated into the ghost agents.”

"On the surface, you are still a member of the Thieves Guild, but your true identity is Ellington's ghost agent, responsible for intelligence collection."

Teleportation array!

Daxus and the others were once again deeply shocked.

He even possesses this lost technology!

As expected, it is the only legendary light of hope that can lead the re-emergence of the Illrus Empire!
