• Xiao Tianyang ordered Chaos Fire to go to the God Clan’s capital, explain their mission, and obtain information, using force if necessary.

• Xiao Tianyang told Tang San and Huo Yuhao that they were heading directly to the Abyss Faction’s lair, and Huo Yuhao resolved to follow his lead.

• Huo Yuhao confronted three captured liches on a hillside and promised to return their Life Boxes if they helped his plan succeed.

Huo Yuhao used Blood Sacrifice Summon to call three Undead Monarchs, hoping to break the Abyss Faction’s cautious defense and create an opening for Tang San’s intelligence-gathering mission. After the Monarchs returned some of his lost blood and Soul energy, he promised them twice the resources and ordered them to attack the city gate.

• Huo Yuhao judged that the siege had failed to draw the Abyss Faction out, leaving Tang San with little room to gather intelligence.
• Huo Yuhao decided to take a gamble and used Blood Sacrifice Summon, sacrificing much of his blood and Soul energy to summon three Undead Monarchs.
• The Undead Monarchs returned some of Huo Yuhao’s blood and Soul energy because they feared Xiao Tianyang and Electrolux would punish them if he were seriously harmed.
• Huo Yuhao promised the Undead Monarchs twice the resources and ordered them to attack the city gate at all costs.
