#58 - Chapter 58 The First Test
“Wu Wei?”
Hearing this name, Li Sinuo's eyes immediately widened into an O-O shape.
She understood!
“My God!”
“My dear Ms. Su Yingxue, I beg you to think this through carefully…”
Li Sinuo placed her hand on Su Yingxue's shoulder and said earnestly.
“First, this kid Wu Wei really doesn't deserve you. No matter how much you help him, he's just useless trash!”
“Second, we're in the middle of a lord's trial, sis! Besides, I'm your staunch ally in this pre-arranged team. Our fates are intertwined! Please don't let your personal feelings delay both of our lives.”
Saying this, Li Sinuo was truly helpless.
“I really don't know what you see in Wu Wei?”
“Talent? Impossible. He's last in every subject except for the one you helped him ace.”
“Family background? Also impossible. The Wu family declined long ago with the death of his parents.”
“Looks? To be honest, I don't think Wu Wei's gloomy face has anything to do with handsomeness.”
“So why are you doing this? Just because your father adopted him after Wu Wei's parents died, and you grew up together, so you think he's your childhood sweetheart?”
“The meaning of childhood sweetheart isn't like that!”
Hearing Li Sinuo's words, Su Yingxue's expression became serious.
“No, Li Sinuo, you've misunderstood.”
“I definitely didn't choose to bypass the Bitter Sea Desert because of personal feelings.”
“On the contrary, I made this choice for my benefit and your benefit.”
“Believe me, if Wu Wei's goal is really the Bitter Sea Desert, our rash intervention in that area would be a very dangerous act!”
“Because all of his goals are to expand his war.”
“Whether it's dwarves, orcs, or even the allied forces of other lords, intervening in his war before we're ready will only lead to chaos, true chaos!”
“I have a premonition that the Bitter Sea Desert will be stained red with blood and death!”
Hearing this, Li Sinuo's eyes turned into an O-o shape.
Clearly, she didn't believe everything Su Yingxue said.
“Sigh… forget it, I'll just pretend you're not doing it for personal feelings. I'm going to the warehouse to retrieve resources and recruit more Silver Radiance Knights.”
“I hope this brat Wu Wei remembers what you've done for him.”
Watching Li Sinuo's departing figure, Su Yingxue shook her head helplessly. Then, she looked at the land marked as Wu Wei's territory on the map.
There, countless arrows representing Wu Wei's soldiers were chaotically intertwined.
They crossed each other, wrapped around each other, and even conflicted with each other, colliding together.
Even Su Yingxue couldn't make heads or tails of such a marching route, unable to guess what Wu Wei was planning.
And besides Su Yingxue, the people who couldn't guess what Wu Wei was planning also included Gu Changqing and others who were just about to form an alliance to launch a crusade against Wu Wei.
————————————
Near the surface entrance of the Dwarven Kingdom.
“That damned Wu Wei has sent out troops again!”
“Too many, there are too many of them!”
“Gu Changqing! Where the hell is the reinforcements you promised?”
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Ka!
As the cursed catapults forged by the demon artisans launched one stone after another carrying abyssal fire, the gate of an advance base garrisoned by two thousand barbarian warriors was directly blown to pieces.
Then, this group of barbarian troops, howling and preparing to fight bravely, were horrified to discover that a group of demons, even more savage, bloodthirsty, and countless times more cruel, poured into the advance base like a tide.
The number of these demons was more than ten times that of the barbarians, and the army was also mixed with a large number of Winding Magus warriors.
These snake-like demon assassins, mixed among countless imps and lesser demons, used daggers coated with poison to constantly stab one barbarian warrior after another.
Although this group of barbarians still fought bravely in this extremely disparate number and under the state of being ambushed, they fought to the end with all the invading demons.
However, the demons' slaughter had no pity or awe.
Under the instruction of the abyssal lord, none of these barbarians were left alive.
They were all cruelly killed.
And after other reinforcements arrived, they angrily and panic-strickenly discovered.
The heads of these barbarian warriors were cut off, and then piled in the center of the damaged advance base as if holding some kind of blasphemous ritual.
Countless plague flies had already hovered around them, implanting their eggs into these heads that appeared in front of them like a gift.
Countless maggots crawled in and out of the mouths, noses, ears, and even the wounds on the necks of these brave warriors.
This is the symbol of the demons' descent.
It is also a symbol of the arrival of evil and destruction.
However, what really angered this group of reinforcements was that, due to the harassment and pollution of the plague flies, the corpses of these barbarian warriors could no longer be buried normally.
Because burying them would cause greater plague risks, which is a common view recognized by many lords after the battle with Wu Wei.
Therefore, this group of fallen barbarians, who were originally supposed to be sky-buried, could only be cremated with extremely humiliating procedures.
Seeing this scene, the lord who commanded this group of barbarians was so angry that he was shaking. He did not expect that just after he built an advance base in Wu Wei's possible expansion range, he would encounter such a frenzied counterattack from the other side!
“This cruel and inhumane monster!”
And what he didn't expect was...
Just after cremating the first batch of barbarian warriors, he was about to hold another cremation for the reinforcements who supported this batch of barbarian warriors!
Because the demons who had left before actually circled around and came to the back of these reinforcements in a strange way.
And this time, the demons actually brought reinforcements as well.
That was a group of monsters called Eye Demons!
This group of bloodline mages from the abyss, before the second batch of barbarian shamans could release spells such as Bloodlust and Petrification, suppressed them to death with their "Magic Eye" skills.
Then, the experience of the first batch of barbarians was perfectly replicated on the second batch of barbarian warriors who came to support.
However, you thought this was the end?
No, this was just the beginning.
Then, countless demon legions under Wu Wei were broken up into zero and divided into hundreds of small armies, deeply plunged into the wound torn open along this line.
In just less than four hours, three mines, two logging camps, and countless farmlands were burned to the ground by the demons.
Then, a large number of lords were captured by the demons, either turned into their food on the spot, or were taken away and taken back to the hell prison to be made into soul fuel and... food.
Even the farthest demon army also raided a teleportation gate of a Gu family branch lord.
A semi-stable teleportation gate worth at least 20,000 resource points became ruins in the demons' mocking laughter.
The alliance formed by Gu Changqing fell into absolute chaos.
No one could predict when the next batch of demon armies would knock on their door, bringing evil and death to them.
And all of this was just Wu Wei's first test...
