#71 - Chapter 71: Finding out and fortress

Wu Wei was always decisive in the execution of his strategies.

After resolving the troubles in the Bitter Sea Desert, he quickly turned his demon army around and advanced towards the former Dwarf Kingdom area once more.

However, his advance was nothing short of a disaster for Gu Changqing and the others.

——————————

"What did you say?"

"Wu Wei turned around and is advancing towards the underground kingdom again?"

Gu Changqing asked in a panic upon hearing the scout's report.

"But why would he do that? Didn't he abandon the entire underground kingdom before? If he still wanted this area, he should have held onto it back then!"

Hearing Gu Changqing's question, many of those who had formed an alliance with him exchanged confused glances.

Wu Wei's thinking was too strange.

So strange that they could no longer understand it.

Gu Changqing was right.

Wu Wei was very decisive when he abandoned the former Dwarf Kingdom, the entire underground world, without the slightest hesitation.

It was as if this area no longer held any meaning for him.

But now, after Wu Wei had occupied the Bitter Sea Desert, he suddenly turned around again, seemingly wanting to retake the underground kingdom.

However, Gu Changqing, who had dealt with Wu Wei several times, suddenly understood the problem.

Having grasped Wu Wei's thinking to some extent, he looked at Wu Wei's advance route and came to a conclusion.

"I understand!"

Gu Changqing said loudly.

"That greedy and foolish guy didn't give up the underground kingdom because he didn't want to hold it, but because he wanted to earn more."

"He obtained a large amount of flesh and resource points by slaughtering the dwarves of the entire underground kingdom, and then used them to create a large army."

"After he swept through the Bitter Sea Desert with this scale of army, he turned around, wanting to take advantage of our fighting with other alliances to launch a surprise attack and reap the benefits."

"In this way, he can bring the mines that we have painstakingly rebuilt back under his control."

"Once we fail to resist and lose, all our investment in the entire area will belong to him, whether it's the mines or our civilian units."

"He really is..."

"Greedy!"

Hearing this, many people frowned.

If Gu Changqing's words were true, then Wu Wei could really be said to be greedy to the extreme.

But the problem also followed.

"But if Wu Wei really thinks so, then how should we stop him?"

"Should we start gradually shrinking our defensive lines from now on and temporarily cease fire with the other lords?"

"Or should we prepare a large army and take the initiative to attack Wu Wei when he comes?"

Hearing his allies' uninteresting suggestions, Gu Changqing shook his head.

"No, no, your ideas are all wrong."

"First of all, we don't need to actively cease fire with the other lords."

"Because when Wu Wei's army really returns to the underground kingdom, they will naturally cease fire with us, and I even guess that some people will actively form an alliance with us."

"After all, the threat Wu Wei poses is too great, so great that they cannot resist it."

"Secondly, we must never take the initiative to attack Wu Wei!"

Gu Changqing stretched out his slender finger and pointed to the Dwarf King City on the map.

"In encounters, we will suffer every time we face Wu Wei, so we must never take the initiative this time!"

"But this does not mean that we will sit idly by."

"Do you remember what I said was Wu Wei's biggest weakness at the moment?"

"It's poverty!"

"Poverty?"

Hearing Gu Changqing say this, the other allies were stunned.

What was he talking about? Did the Lord's Trial also have something to do with wealth in reality?

"That's right, it's poverty!" Gu Changqing slowly explained.

"Although Wu Wei's army size always far exceeds ours, he is still too poor, so poor that he can only use a large number of Lesser Demons to launch attacks!"

"And this poverty comes from his militarism."

"Although Wu Wei can easily win victories, because the number of Lesser Demons is too large and they are easy to die, Wu Wei must spend a lot of resources on remanufacturing Lesser Demons every time he wins a war."

"So don't look at Wu Wei's army size being so large, because of his poverty, the quality of his army is always a big problem."

"Do you understand?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Seeing this, Gu Changqing couldn't help but rub his forehead.

"What I really want to say is actually very simple!"

"Now is no longer the stage when we first entered the trial continent. Many lords in our alliance have already completed the construction of the first era building, right!"

"And our army composition is no longer the basic arms it was back then."

"That is to say, as long as we can gather superior forces, garrison and defend in front of the Dwarf King City, which is now the only Wu Wei territory that has not fallen, then we, with a higher army quality, will have a higher chance of winning than actively attacking!"

"Moreover, within the entire underground kingdom, the only node where Wu Wei can freely send his army into the kingdom passage is the Dwarf King City."

"And more importantly, after we have obtained our respective era buildings, many of us have the ability to build outposts, arrow towers, and other defensive buildings, right!"

"As long as we can use elite warriors, coupled with our respective defensive buildings, to block the front of the former Dwarf King City, then we don't have to worry about the problems caused by Wu Wei."

Hearing this, the allies' eyes lit up.

This was because the strategy Gu Changqing said was very reasonable, and secondly, everyone began to look at Gu Changqing with admiration.

It must be said that after experiencing these recent wars, Gu Changqing himself has grown the fastest.

This eldest son of the Gu family has gone from being headstrong at the beginning to being able to guess Wu Wei's thoughts like a strategist, all of which is enough to prove his progress.

Listening to everyone's praise, Gu Changqing showed a smile.

"Wu Wei, ah, Wu Wei."

"Your ability ultimately has a limit. Your seemingly chaotic thinking is actually not difficult to guess."

"No matter how you let the Lesser Demons wreak havoc on the trial continent, you will eventually usher in defeat."

"Let the Dwarf King City become your grave!"

As Gu Changqing gave the order, one arrow tower and outpost after another rose up in front of the Dwarf King City, forming an iron wall that was enough to make any Lesser Demons sigh......
