"Your Excellency."

"There's a captured lord here, you might be interested!"

Inside the front camp of the New World Alliance.

Lilith walked over and said.

"Oh?"

"Who?"

"I know!"

"It shouldn't be."

"Bring it over and have a look!"

Fang Yuan said with some curiosity.

It didn't take long.

A petrified lord appeared in front of Fang Yuan.

"This~"

"I don't know either."

Fang Yuan looked at the petrified lord and said.

Lilith spoke.

"Lord Wang Heng, who left here, hand over the order to my captive personnel before leaving."

"I saw a name Ronan in it."

"And then I found him."

Hear the name.

Fang Yuan lowered his head and muttered.

"Ronan~"

Then I thought about it suddenly.

"It's the Cursed Lord who is preparing to attack Gondor."

"Wait."

"Cursed Lord."

Fang Yuan's face was slightly happy.

I've heard the Vice Alliance Master Jing mention it before.

Within the New World Alliance, there is a lord who specializes in using curses.

He held a cursed fragment in his hand.

It's Ronan's name!

"Could it be him?"

Then asked quickly.

"Is it the one with the fragment of the Book of Curses in his hand?"

Seeing Fang Yuan, he remembered.

Lilith nodded.

"That's him."

"Your Excellency, do you want to unlock the petrification magic on his body?"

"According to the news left by Lord Wang Heng before leaving."

"These are all lords who oppose surrendering to us."

"I petrified them just in case they got the news."

"After petrification, the lord cannot use the lord mark."

"However, the petrification time is generally 24 hours, after which the petrification effect disappears."

Fang Yuan heard it.

The lords of Middle-earth are used to betrayal.

A set of processes for surrendering and pitting allies has already been summed up.

This deputy alliance leader named Wang Heng is really proficient.

I'm afraid I've done a lot of this kind of thing before.

It's good that I don't care if they're loyal or not.

After defeating the New World Alliance and squeezing out these lords.

Leave them in Middle-earth and use them as tools for the development of Middle-earth.

Over the years, there have only been a few countries in the development of Middle-earth.

After his own victory, these familiar lands must be his own.

These former lords of Middle-earth happened to rush to develop new territories.

Fang Yuan had already thought of a way forward for them in his heart.

"Your Excellency."

"Do you want to untie it?"

Lilith asked again.

Fang Yuan came back to his senses and said immediately.

"After turning on his petrification magic, we have a way to petrify them again?"

Lilith nodded.

"I'll have a mind imprison spell to imprison him again."

"Compared to petrochemical."

"This magic is more effective."

"And the target who is controlled can also take the initiative to answer questions."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan immediately said.

"Then untie it."

"Ask him where the fragments of the Book of the Curse are."

"Yes."

Ronan is feeling bad right now.

The conversation between Fang Yuan and Lilith just now.

He listened to it all.

Know that the other party is plotting against the fragment of his own Book of Damned.

Ronan was already anxious at this time.

Here, not only did he die the Golden Hero, but he also lost all of the Golden Cursed Mage Legion.

Right now!

The even more important Book of Curses is about to be lost.

Once this is lost.

He's about to fall from a top-level tenth-level lord to mediocrity.

And his own main city is not in Middle-earth.

Future!

Ronan's development will be even tougher.

Now.

He made a decision.

As long as the magic is lifted.

Immediately commit suicide with all your might.

But!

When Ronan felt the petrification on his body fall.

only to find out.

I can't move my whole body.

Then I found out again.

The present self is more than just a body.

With thoughts!

It's all starting to come to a standstill.

He began to lose control of his body.

There seems to be a force that is constantly controlling itself.

This terrifying feeling made Ronan tremble.

However, Ronan's feelings this time could not be reflected physically.

Inside the camp hall.

Lilith kept drawing circles on the ground.

Gradually.

Fang Yuan noticed that Ronan's gaze became glazed.

Wait until the magic circle is successfully drawn.

Lilith clapped her hands and said.

"It's done!"

"Your Excellency."

"It's three minutes."

"This magic will not work."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan asked.

"What should I do now?"

Lilith pointed at Ronan.

"You can command him to do anything."

"Mind control is a mind-like control magic."

"When I was in the Old World, it was developed based on the psionic energy of the Mind Flayer clan."

"However, compared to the Mind Flayer, it will lose the spiritual energy of the opponent's brain."

"Mind control is much more subtle."

"There is no harm in being controlled, and at the same time you can get the news you want."

"At the beginning, I helped the spiritual school solve a spell inequality for this spell, and the magic god of the spiritual school handed it over to me."

"It can be said that except for the Dharma God of the Spiritual School."

"I'm the only one who has mastered a little bit of this spell."

"Fur?"

Fang Yuan asked in surprise.

"This spell is powerful?"

Lilith replied as a matter of course.

"Of course!"

"I can only control one person for three minutes."

"But the Dharma God is at work."

"Someone who can control a kingdom."

"There's also a weakened version called Brainwashing."

"Later, it was spread out and obtained by some evil gods."

"After they researched it, they developed a brainwashing magic technique."

"Able to control thousands of people."

Fang Yuan didn't expect that there would be such a terrifying spell.

The Old World is a super-civilization where magic flourishes.

At this time, Lilith said quickly.

"Time is running out."

"Your Excellency, Lord, hurry up."

"I'm not from the Spiritual School after all."

"This spell can only be used once."

"The second time it didn't work."

Fang Yuan nodded.

Began interrogating Ronan about information related to the Book of Curses.

"There are a few remnants of your Book of Curses."

"Five."

"What kind of curses are they?"

"Curse of Weakness, Curse of Illusion, Curse of Chaos, Curse of Lost, Curse of Goat."

"What are the functions of each?"

"The Curse of Frailty Fragment is capable of cursing a target over and over again, resulting in the creation of high-quality Scrolls of Frailty, up to Dark Gold.

”

"The Curse of Illusion can make the target fall into the illusion through the curse, but the probability of success of the curse is low, and the release distance is short."

"The Curse of Chaos can curse one of the opposing heroes into chaos and attack the lord and legion, also with a short release distance."

"The Lost Curse is mainly aimed at a legion, and the opponent will habitually get lost after being released, the advantage is that the release distance is long, and the disadvantage is that the probability of failure is high, and it can be resisted."

"The goat's curse is to release the goat into a goat scroll and give it to anyone, and then the goat can continue to steal the other party's resources."

After listening to the features of a few cursed fragments.

Fang Yuan touched his chin.

"Except for the Weakness Curse being useful, the rest of the feelings are not too strong."

"However, the main purpose of getting the Book of Curses scroll is to upgrade the Book of Curses to a real artifact."

"As long as the fragments are genuine."

Fang Yuan then continued.

"Give me these cursed fragments!"

When this request is spoken.

Fang Yuan felt that the other party was visibly struggling.

But in the end, he took the initiative to open the package of the lord's seal.

A book was pulled out of it.

"All five are here."

"There is a curse in the book."

"Everyone but me will be cursed when they open it."

This is easy to solve.

"Unravel the curse above."

After Fang Yuan gave the order.

After Ronan did a few tricks, the curse disappeared.

Flip through the books.

Fang Yuan really saw the fragments of the Book of Curses inside.

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

"It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes."

"It doesn't take much effort to get there."

"I don't know if I can put together the Book of Curses with these few pages."

Immediately, Fang Yuan's thoughts changed.

Ask questions again.

"How many pages is the Book of Curses?"

"I don't know!"

"I used to look for it."

"But there was no answer."

The other shook his head.

Fang Yuan thought for a moment and asked again.

"Where did you get the fragment of your Book of Damned?"

"Cursed Realm!"

"What does it take to enter the secret realm?"

"Orange Secret Realm Crystal, I still have one left."

"Give it to me!"

When Fang Yuan took this magic crystal from Ronan.

Lilith beside her spoke.

"No more."

"The other side began to resist."

"Your Excellency."

"Now it's time to petrify him."

"Or wake up."

"A single thought can send a message out."

Fang Yuan nodded.

"That's it."

"I got what I wanted."

He looked at the five fragments in his hand and the orange Secret Realm Crystal.

"These fragments, plus this crystal."

"Don't be your first artifact!"

"It's the Book of Curses!"

That's when it happened.

Ronan on the side was re-petrified and sent away.

And Lilith had just left.

Outside, there was the sound of hurried footsteps.

Immediately a cavalry rushed in.

"Report."

"Your Excellency."

"Battle report."

"Discover New World Alliance reinforcements."

"I've been stopped by Lord Vivien and the Golden Legion."

"But!"

"They didn't attack."

"Instead, a messenger was sent!"

Lord Vivien asked.

"Do you want to see you?"

"Emissary?"

"What did the other party say?"

The messenger shook his head.

"Nope."

"I just said I wanted to see Your Excellency."

"However, His Excellency Vivien guesses that there is a high probability that he is here to negotiate."

Fang Yuan nodded.

This also makes sense.

Of course.

There may also be another scenario.

It's here to provoke.

There may also be such deaths.

But it's unlikely.

Fang Yuan said after thinking about it.

"Tell Vivien."

"If you want to see me, show sincerity."

"Tell the purpose, tell the price."

"No!"

"Don't come here."

"Yes."

After the messenger of the soldier left.

Fang Yuan opened the map.

It shows the legions around you.

He said quickly.

"Someone."

"Inform the flank directions."

"Send troops to support Vivien."

"Yes!"

Fang Yuan looked at the map with his hands behind his back.

"Whatever you guys do."

"I'm just going to surround you."

"When the time comes, if you revolt before the battle, you will be collected as cannon fodder."

"If you resist to the end, I will eat you too!"

After giving the order.

Fang Yuan's gaze looked at the World Alliance's alliance residence farther away.

"After Wang Heng returns with the remnants of the army."

"Now they're afraid it's already a mess inside."

"Several of the main forces of the New World Alliance have surrendered."

"Just the rest of the alliance leader."

"At this time, I'm just afraid that I have to worry about the unstable position."

"Wait until you eat the last two field legions."

"The day the soldiers are coming to the city."

"That's when they took the initiative to open the city and surrender."

"At that time."

"The leader of the New World Alliance will find out!"

"The people around me are all traitors."

Fang Yuan thought about that picture and found it interesting.

That's when Lilith walked in.

At this time, his face was slightly solemn.

"Your Excellency."

"We need to end the campaign in Middle-earth as soon as possible."

Fang Yuan asked curiously.

"Oh."

"What happened?"

"Could it be that something happened to us Gondor?"

Lilith shook her head.

"It's not."

"It's the Eastern Continent."

These words made Fang Yuan very puzzled.

"Eastern Continent?"

"What's going on over there?"

"Our strength in the Eastern Continent seems to be only ~"

"Wait."

"Do you mean the Sea of Perdition?"

Lilith nodded.

"Not bad."

"The woman who stayed in the territory sent a dragon eagle knight to deliver a message."

"The Sea of Sinking is anomalous."

"The sea suddenly boiled."

"At the same time, many apparitions of temples appeared on the sea."

"This may be a precursor to the imminent opening of the sinking sea."

"Your Excellency."

"The Sinking Sea Gate, the Creation Magic Pattern Fragment."

"If you miss this one."

"I don't know when the next time it will be turned on."

Fang Yuan also nodded solemnly at this time.

"Compared to Middle-earth, the Genesis Fragment is more important."

"Forget it."

"Then give up the war here."

"Shrink your strength, return to your territory at once, and prepare to go to the Sea of Destruction."

As soon as these words came out.

Lilith hurried to stop.

"Your Excellency."

"Don't."

"It's not that time yet."

"It will definitely take some time for the temple under the Sunken Sea to open."

"I mean, we can't afford to be here for too long."

"Settle Middle-earth as soon as possible."

"Go back and raise the territory to level eleven."

"Sink the sea with the strongest strength."

"It's not like giving up here."

"The war in Middle-earth is on the verge of death."

"It would be a pity to give up at this time."

Fang Yuan didn't expect to be wrong.

"I see."

"I also think it's a shame to give up Middle-earth now."

"Then speed up the war."

"Middle-earth is so big, and I can't rule it alone."

"Just break up the New World Alliance, which threatens the most."

"We occupy a part of this Middle-earth."

"The rest can be handed over to the subordinate alliances and allies such as the Four Holy Alliance, the Flying Industry Alliance, and the Middle-earth Resistance Organization."

"Let them check and balance each other here."

"As long as there are no forces in Middle-earth that threaten us."

Lilith nodded.

And at this very moment.

There was news from outside.

"Report."

"Your Excellency."

"The two support forces of the New World Alliance, please surrender."

"They promised to attack the New World League as a striker."

"Just after defeating the New World Alliance."

"They want to be free."

"Allow them to form an independent alliance in Middle-earth."

Fang Yuan, who heard the news, said to Lilith with a smile.

"The conditions are pretty much the same."

"But everyone surrenders, so I will treat everyone equally."

"Tell them."

"I can agree to both conditions."

"But they want to be free again."

"A ransom will need to be paid!"

"If you can't pay the ransom, give me a part-time job."

"As for how much the ransom is, what it is."

"It's up to me."

"If you want to surrender, come to me and crush half of the Golden Legion and Golden Heroes."

"Go and tell the messenger."

"He only had fifteen minutes to think."

"Time has passed."

"I'll give the order to attack."

"Yes!" (End of chapter)
