#51 - Chapter 51: Waste and Crushing
The duration of a battle is invariably shorter than that of a war.
This is a generally accepted consensus by most.
But in the eyes of these lords, Wu Wei’s tactics clearly subverted this consensus.
Because the current situation is this:
The allied forces composed of the Dwarf King and the lords miraculously blocked the first wave of attacks from the demon army on the battlefield, driving those damned demons back into the entrance of the tunnel.
These brave warriors resisted the invasion from the depths of darkness, safeguarding the brilliance of humanity.
But this was just a battle.
While these warriors fought bravely, Wu Wei had already secretly won the entire war!
This evil and ruthless Abyss Lord, taking advantage of the opportunity when these warriors were held back by the demons, used the flying Laurent demons to release plague and death into the alliance’s royal city.
So, when these brave warriors finally survived the battlefield and the plague, they did not receive the news of their impending triumphant return.
On the contrary, they received the news of the death of their families and the destruction of their homes!
Hundreds of thousands of innocent residents died from plague infection.
Among these dead residents were the warriors’ parents, wives, and children, their loved ones and friends, everything they fought for.
But now, they had completely lost everything.
No one could imagine how desperate these warriors would be after learning all of this.
Wu Wei’s actions were like a greedy python that, after successfully trapping its prey, slowly savors the process of its death.
To survive, each breath the prey takes makes its next breath more difficult.
But the prey’s despair is precisely the supreme delicacy to this Abyss Lord.
He enjoys savoring this despair.
Therefore, even after the Dwarf Alliance managed to win on the battlefield, no one cheered.
All they had was a belly full of anger and despair for their own future.
Except for some lords with dirty and despicable thoughts.
————————
“I wonder if the message we sent to the opposing lord has been received.”
In a corner of the battlefield, Gu Changqing was exchanging information with several new lords who were teaming up with him.
“Judging from the current situation, this Dwarf Alliance that we wanted to join is already doomed.”
“No, no, not just the Dwarf Alliance!”
A strange glint flashed in the eyes of this man with a thin face.
“The entire Dwarf Empire is finished.”
“That lord’s initial goal was not to win this battle, but to hunt down the entire Dwarf kingdom!”
Hearing this, the lords who teamed up with Gu Changqing nodded in affirmation.
“Yeah.”
“No one could have imagined that this war had already ended as soon as it started.”
“This lord’s thinking and ideas are really terrifying. If we really encounter him on the front lines....”
Hearing this, many people shivered.
The sense of oppression that Wu Wei brought to them was too strong.
For the first time, these lords who followed the book saw the true face of war in actual combat, and for the first time, they saw the cruel nature of war, and they were a little unaccustomed to it.
But Gu Changqing just smiled, dismissing it.
Because he was somewhat different from these people. He was the eldest son of the Gu family, the head of Linjiang City.
Therefore, for him, who possessed a large amount of lord era resources in his family, the lord war was no longer so mysterious.
Wu Wei’s actions only shocked him slightly. After all, there were people in the vast lord era who had even more vicious means of winning than Wu Wei.
So Gu Changqing didn’t think Wu Wei’s methods were so cruel. In his opinion, Wu Wei’s methods were still a bit naive, of course, they were a bit naive compared to his elders.
“It doesn’t matter, we don’t need to worry about this problem, because we won’t become enemies with him.”
Gu Changqing said with great confidence.
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true, because of interests, do you understand interests?”
Everyone shook their heads.
Gu Changqing sneered, looking at the “family wastes” who were teaming up with him, showing a disappointed expression. Until now, these people still didn’t understand his thoughts?
Sure enough, the level of wisdom of the Gu family’s main family is far superior to....
But before Gu Changqing had time to explain.
“I heard... you want to ally with me?”
A cold and terrifying voice suddenly sounded from behind Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing turned his head and immediately felt his scalp tingle, and couldn’t help but scream, making a eunuch-like cry.
Because the one who made the sound just now was actually an ugly demon the size of a leg, covered in tongues!
This demon didn’t have any eyes. Its skin was an abnormal black-gray color, and it was covered with all kinds of “scars.”
But in fact, these scars could be actively opened.
And the only use for opening these scars was to “install tongues!”
The tongues of countless races were installed on this demon’s body using some blasphemous magic, used to make sounds for him!
It was no wonder that Gu Changqing would be so out of control when he saw such a terrifying creature for the first time.
“This is my messenger—Multilingual Demon.”
Wu Wei said helplessly to Gu Changqing and others.
He really couldn’t understand why someone would be so frightened after seeing such a little cutie.
Isn’t Multilingual Demon’s design enough to hit their cute spots?
“Under normal circumstances, he can be used to convey my will and communicate with others.”
At this time, Wu Wei’s main body was far away in the endless abyss. In order not to affect his command, he chose to send Multilingual Demon to deliver messages for him.
And Gu Changqing quickly calmed down. Although the previous gaffe made him a little embarrassed.
But these things were not important. What was important was that he had to express his attitude as soon as possible.
“So you can really receive our messages. It seems our efforts were not in vain.”
Wu Wei was a little speechless.
How could he not receive the other party’s messages?
In order to communicate with him, these lords actually caught several little demons and kept telling the poor things that they wanted to communicate with him.
Even the most sluggish lord would probably be able to receive the other party’s information.
Not to mention Wu Wei, who had the Eye of War.
“Then, let us get to the point. Oh, I almost forgot to say, my name is Gu Changqing.”
“I believe that as a student of Linjiang No. 1 Middle School, you should have heard of my name.”
Because Gu Changqing was the eldest son of the Gu family’s main family, and his grades were not bad, and his appearance was quite handsome, his name was basically well-known in Linjiang No. 1 Middle School.
But...
“Gu Changqing?”
The Multilingual Demon in front of Gu Changqing scratched his head.
“Oh, I’ve heard of it.”
Hearing the other lord say this, the corners of Gu Changqing’s mouth revealed a smile.
Sure enough, fame is still very important when you are out and about.
But his smile lasted for only a second.
“The one everyone said, the waste cultivated by the Gu family’s main family, is actually you.”
The Multilingual Demon shrugged very humanely, and said for Wu Wei.
“If I had known it was trash like you who wanted to ally with me, I would have crushed you directly. It’s really a waste of time!”
The waste cultivated by the Gu family’s main family... a waste of time....
Gu Changqing suddenly felt a little dizzy.
