#72 - Chapter 72 The Encounter between the Two Groups
"Great Lord, you are finally back!"
Hel and Mara, the siblings, said diligently to Wu Wei.
But Wu Wei did not reply to them, because as soon as he returned to the Dwarf King City, Wu Wei was immediately shocked by the scene before him.
He noticed that the previously vast Dwarf King City, with its luxurious palaces and several districts, had completely disappeared.
In its place was a dilapidated urban area with various muddy swamps and the sky filled with plague flies!
Inside the entire Dwarf King City, there were no longer any buildings that could be considered complete, and all the buildings were parasitized by some kind of green viscous pustules.
Moreover, in the center of the Dwarf King City, which used to be the palace of the Dwarf King, had also disappeared.
Re-emerging from that location was a super huge purple cocoon.
This cocoon wriggled all the time, constantly flowing out some poisonous substances, but there were no giant creatures hatching inside.
This cocoon hatched only large chunks of fly eggs.
Such a scene, even Wu Wei was a little shocked to see.
He finally understood why Hel and Mara called the city he bestowed upon them a "nest".
Because the two of them had really transformed the once magnificent Dwarf King City into their own nest.
However, Wu Wei would not ask any more questions about what had already been given away.
He just glanced at Hel and Mara, and then said lightly.
"Well, I'm back."
"You two have done a good job, actually guarding this city... cough cough, this nest for so long under the prying eyes of so many lords."
Hearing his lord praise him, Hel, the younger brother, smiled.
"Lord, you flatter us."
"Actually, we didn't do too much. Many times, I thought those lords would try to take down my sister and my home at all costs."
"But most of them just took a few glances after entering the Dwarf King City and left."
"And those few have been made into biomass-rich mucus by my sister and me, for those little flying darlings to reproduce."
Hearing Hel say this, Wu Wei could also understand.
After all, if he were an ordinary lord, after seeing the Dwarf King City become what it is now, he would hesitate whether to continue occupying it.
But now Wu Wei doesn't have time to continue being polite.
After dealing with the Hel siblings, Wu Wei immediately ordered the demon warriors under his command to prepare for war.
Time is of the essence.
Wu Wei needs to quickly reclaim the underground kingdom, this territory that originally belonged to him.
But just at this moment, Hel suddenly reminded his lord.
"That, Lord, I don't think now is a good time to attack."
"Oh? Why?"
Hel pointed to the newly built arrow towers and outposts outside the Dwarf King City and said to Wu Wei.
"Enemies have already begun trying to stop your unstoppable expedition."
"The defensive structures they have built are very solid. Before you arrived, I tried to destroy them."
"But the problem is, I found that even the Plague Demons who are not afraid of casualties cannot pass through this blockade."
"Their defenses are very tight and their division of labor is very clear."
"I suggest you wait patiently for a few more days. My sister has already begun to create some kind of disease that can spread to the entire Trial Continent."
Hearing this, Wu Wei smiled.
"You were worried about this?"
"But no, I can't wait any longer. You know, the longer the plan is delayed, the greater the chance of failure."
Hearing this, Hel knelt down in front of Wu Wei.
"In that case, respected Lord of the Abyss, please let me lead all the Plague Demons to be the vanguard."
"Only in this way may we have a chance to break through the enemy's blockade and regain our territory."
"No need." Wu Wei stopped Hel's request.
"I already have my own plans for this group of enemies."
"Let them charge this time."
After speaking, from the teleportation gate behind Wu Wei, one after another Orcs controlled by Parasitic Demons walked out....
These Parasite Orcs, in addition to maintaining their previous strong physique.
They themselves have also been greatly strengthened.
Moreover, at Wu Wei's request, the Parasitic Demons removed the pain receptors of these Orc bodies and increased certain hormones that could make them more excited.
Such, they will always move forward before death.
Until they are exhausted or torn to pieces.

"What's going on!"
"What kind of monster is this again?"
Just as Gu Changqing and others originally wanted to rely on their solid defense line to obstruct Wu Wei's attack.
Their defense line was instantly broken through.
But don't get me wrong.
The monsters they are talking about are not the Orcs controlled by the Parasitic Demons.
And it was not the demon army under Wu Wei that broke through their defense line.
The people who caused all this destruction were Li Qi, who had been dormant on the Trial Continent for too long, and his newly manufactured steam tanks!
That's right, when most lords had just built, or were building their first era building.
Li Qi had already completed the construction of two era buildings and began planning to lead his people to a higher era.
When most lords were still using ordinary arms as their main force, Li Qi, who valued technology above all else, had already begun to manufacture "miniature goblin tanks" powered by steam technology thanks to his technological advantages.
Although these miniature tanks are like toys in the eyes of slightly stronger lords.
But at this time, they are invincible existences across eras.
Li Qi, a lord who also has great ambitions, also intervened in the conflict between Wu Wei and Gu Changqing.
But just as Li Qi broke through Gu Changqing's rear defense line, Wu Wei's Parasite Orc and demon army also broke through Gu Changqing's front defense line together.
And both were advancing towards the same location.
Finally, in the wide kingdom tunnel, these two groups of people met.
"What's going on?"
Wu Wei was stunned and rubbed his eyes.
"War chariots?!"
And Li Qi was also stunned, because he saw the demons that he was already familiar with.
"Wait, demons?"
