#60 - Chapter 60 Greed and Dispatching Troops

Watching Wu Wei's bizarre deployment direction on the sand table, all the forces on the Trial Continent who were paying attention to Wu Wei, or to the Bitter Sea Desert, were collectively stunned.

Because no one would have thought that this guy Wu Wei would make such a crazy move.

When his territory was surrounded by the alliance formed by Gu Changqing and others, he did not organize his forces to break through or defend.

On the contrary, he turned the guns of his army and launched a fierce attack on the orc tribes in the Bitter Sea Desert.

Moreover, Wu Wei's offensive was definitely not a feint in the eyes of these forces.

Because the scale of soldiers he dispatched was too large.

So large that no lord, no force could ignore it.

Under the gaze of countless scouts, a full 140,000 demon troops were divided into six routes at dusk, taking advantage of the night to enter the Bitter Sea Desert from different entrances.

Even more exaggerated was that Wu Wei himself, who had basically never shown his face, also appeared in the advancing team!

This lord, who had been sitting on the throne of the abyss since entering the era of lords, finally stepped out of the abyss and into the desert battlefield with his soldiers.

As a result, the other lords who received this news from their respective scouts immediately realized one thing.

That is, Wu Wei attached great importance to and was serious about this offensive.

He didn't use any means to cover up this offensive, and even acted quite ostentatiously.

Moreover, during the march, he did not make any other defensive deployments, and launched this offensive in a very hasty manner.

It was as if he had completely abandoned the dwarf city he had worked so hard to capture, abandoned this underground kingdom rich in various minerals, and instead went to attack a barren and dangerous desert.

Such offensive behavior and way of thinking once again made the other lords doubt Wu Wei's military literacy.

Because in their opinion, any qualified lord should not abandon their territory.

No one could figure out what Wu Wei was thinking now?

However, even if no one could figure out what Wu Wei was thinking, all the lords who observed Wu Wei's movements made the same decision without exception.

That is to advance!

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Wu Wei's rear being empty, they would take his territory for their own!

Wu Wei's exposed mistake finally revealed the ambitions of all the lords, and under the drive of greed and desire, one army after another began to advance towards Wu Wei's territory.

——————————————

"What exactly is Wu Wei thinking?"

Gu Changqing looked at Wu Wei's bizarre and chaotic marching route on the map and said in confusion.

"He clearly led his troops to raid our defense line the day before, but turned around and led his troops to attack the Bitter Sea Desert."

"Is it some kind of conspiracy that I can't guess, or does he have other plans?"

"Damn it!"

Thinking of this, Gu Changqing angrily slapped the table.

Although Wu Wei's army had left the underground kingdom of the dwarves, Gu Changqing still did not dare to send the army under his alliance to turn around and attack Wu Wei's territory.

Because he vaguely felt that Wu Wei's offensive plan was not that simple.

"His actions are so obvious, but why am I still so uneasy?"

"Even if he leaves, I can still feel this evil guy waiting for us to take the bait!"

Just as Gu Changqing was still hesitating, one of his allies suddenly broke in.

"Gu Changqing, why aren't you sending troops? What are you waiting for!"

"Some lords have already formed new alliances and started attacking Wu Wei's territory."

"And according to the information sent back by the scouts, the defense on Wu Wei's territory is almost non-existent, only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled are making symbolic resistance."

Hearing what his ally said, Gu Changqing couldn't help but frown.

Could it be....

Did he really guess wrong?

Wu Wei really didn't want these underground cities, and instead shifted his focus to the Bitter Sea Desert?

Before Gu Changqing could continue thinking.

Another ally broke in again.

"Old Gu, don't hesitate, send troops!"

"Just now, a small town that originally belonged to Wu Wei has been captured, and the lord who captured this small town has begun to redeploy miners and start mining in the surrounding mines!"

Hearing this, Gu Changqing was stunned.

"What, so fast? But how is this possible, didn't they just start attacking!"

In the consensus of many lords, attacking a small town controlled by other lords, even with superior forces, usually takes at least half a day.

Moreover, this is just the time it takes to capture the small town, not including the time to collect the enemy's civilian units and redeploy their own troops and civilian units.

"That's right, it's that fast!"

The lord who called Gu Changqing Old Gu was an in-law of the Gu family, and he was very familiar with Gu Changqing.

Compared to others, Gu Changqing trusted him more.

So in this loose alliance, his right to speak was obviously heavier than others.

"Do you know why this attack was so fast?"

"Why?"

"Because Wu Wei, that madman, turned all the dwarves into resources before he left!"

Hearing this, almost all the lords, including Gu Changqing, were stunned.

"Although the information may have errors, it is true that several escaped dwarf slaves said so, they said that the flesh and blood of their compatriots were taken by that madman and turned into nourishment for the demons."

"That's hundreds of thousands of dwarf slaves, this madman is really insane!"

"But because of this, this madman built up this full army of tens of thousands of demons so quickly!"

"But none of this matters, after all, we can't use these dwarf slaves anyway, what really matters is."

"More and more scouts are sending news that Wu Wei has completely abandoned the defense of all non-dwarf royal cities, leaving only this one city as a stronghold and stationing the remaining demon troops in it."

"And the remaining few small cities have been completely abandoned by him!"

"This is the real reason why the lord, whose strength is not as good as our alliance, captured that town so quickly."

"What Wu Wei left behind is one empty city after another that has not yet been reclaimed, one treasure city after another!"

"So, Old Gu, don't hesitate any longer, send troops!"

"We can completely take all the strongholds while Wu Wei is attacking the Bitter Sea Desert, and then we will replace Wu Wei and become the master of this underground kingdom."

"In this area, no alliance force or independent lord is our opponent!"

Hearing this, Gu Changqing thought for a moment.

Finally, he made his decision.

"Send troops!"

Just like the prey carcasses left by lions on the grasslands after they are full, they will eventually attract countless hyenas and vultures.

But these hyenas and vultures never think about the lion that abandoned the prey that was obviously not touched much.

Is it really full?
