#50 - Chapter 50 Plague Nest and Peace Negotiation
The moment Wu Wei personally ordered the corpses tainted with plague fly eggs to be thrown into the Dwarven Royal City, the war between the Dwarven Alliance and the demons was effectively over.
No matter how strong the Dwarven Alliance's army was, they could no longer save their homeland.
Because their homeland had already entered a death countdown.
“The third batch of plague spawned by Mara will contaminate the entire Dwarven Royal City within twenty-four hours.”
Wu Wei, with the War Vision activated, said calmly.
“Sixty percent of the population will die directly, and the number of corpses left behind will be two hundred and forty thousand.”
Hearing this, even the hero units Mara and Hell couldn't help but shudder.
Because these siblings had both personally witnessed the evil smile on Wu Wei's lips and his scarlet vertical pupils overflowing with madness.
These terrifying vertical pupils could not find any existence comparable to him in terms of madness and evil, even in the dark and boundless abyss.
This was not praise, but reality.
“After I capture the Royal City, these corpses will be used to create... uh, 1200 Plague Demons!”
“The remaining living Dwarven residents, aside from a portion that will become food, will replenish approximately 40,000 demon slave laborers for me.”
“These are just the figures if I temporarily leave aside those scattered Dwarven cities. If they are included, the data will be corrected to.....”
Wu Wei kept calculating the data, but the most evil numbers of death were popping out of his mouth.
And at this moment, Mara couldn't help but interject.
“Um, Great Lord, may I ask you a question?”
As soon as Mara managed to squeeze out of her brother's body and ask this question, she immediately regretted it and quickly retreated.
Because when Wu Wei turned his head and focused his gaze on her, those terrifying eyes made her instinctively panic.
Wu Wei seemed to know that there was something wrong with his eyes.
He silently changed his gaze and said in as gentle a tone as possible.
“Yes, you can ask.”
“Lord, can you give me and my brother a city?”
“City?”
Wu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said.
“Do you two want your own territory to enfeoff?”
In Wu Wei's view, it was very normal for heroes to want their own territory or enfeoffment.
Because in the Age of Lords, heroes actually had a wide variety of demands, and this was just one of them.
“Territory? Enfeoffment? No, no, please don't misunderstand....” Mara's head popped out of the hole in Hell's body, and she said weakly.
“My brother and I absolutely do not have, nor dare to have, any rebellious intentions. What we want is not an independent territory, we just want a stable nest.”
“Because unlike what you think, my brother and I want a stable nest because we can store pathogens suitable for you faster and better only in a relatively stable environment with a large number of organisms.”
“The pathogens you asked me to create before were too unstable.”
“Not only are their traits unstable, but the incubation period is far from meeting your requirements.”
“More importantly, haven't you noticed that Caroline, the Imp Matriarch by your side, is already a little dissatisfied after I infected too many Imps?”
“Death caused by disease is actually not a good thing for many demons, and if you don't control it, eventually all the demons will be infected with those unstable plagues.”
“So, after my brother and I have a city with a population, we will use various pathogens to transform that city and gradually build it into a nest.”
“In that nest, my brother and I can work together to create viruses that better meet your requirements for you.”
“This way, not only will my plague become more stable, but you also don't have to worry about other demons being accidentally infected by the plague I release, causing unnecessary deaths.”
After hearing this, Wu Wei finally understood.
It turned out that Hell and Mara wanted a city to build a nest specifically for incubating plagues.
Moreover, in addition to creating new types of plagues, this nest could also protect the rest of his uninfected warriors as much as possible.
It had to be said that Wu Wei had not thought of this problem before.
After all, in his opinion, it didn't matter if the demons under his command were infected with the plague.
But Mara's persuasion made Wu Wei give up this idea, because many demons in the later stages were actually very expensive to create.
If a few important demons died accidentally due to infection with the plague, then he would lose a lot.
Many demons even needed special resources to create, and after they died, they would all turn into a special resource called "Rotten Plague Corpse".
The gap between the two was still relatively large.
Therefore, Mara's request inadvertently reminded Wu Wei of this.
“Okay, I agree to your request.”
Wu Wei nodded.
Then, he said with a smile.
“Then, how about I give you two the Royal City of the Dwarves?”
“Dwarven Royal City?”
Hearing Wu Wei say this, not only Hell, but even Mara was stunned.
That was the largest and most productive city that Wu Wei was about to obtain. Was it too wasteful to use such a city as their nest!
But before they could refute, Wu Wei spoke first.
“No need to refuse.”
“This is what you two deserve.”
“Without the plague you created, I might not have been able to capture this huge city with hundreds of thousands of people so quickly.”
“So, I've decided, and I won't change it.”
After speaking, Wu Wei closed his eyes and sat back on the Abyss Throne, continuing to command the ongoing Tunnel War.
However, in the final stages of the Tunnel War, the actions of some lords were seriously beyond Wu Wei's expectations.
That was, they actually wanted to negotiate peace?!
The emergence of this idea was indeed something that Wu Wei had not anticipated.
A group of lords jointly formed a small entity split off from the coalition army, preparing to establish contact with him.
Moreover, their terms of negotiation were even more indescribable to Wu Wei.
Because they actually wanted to establish a... new alliance with Wu Wei!
