#89 - Chapter 89 A New Crisis

While Wu Wei was still recruiting new heroes, the entire Trial Continent was far from peaceful.

First of all, the lords who were originally vying for resource territories began to fight each other even more frequently.

More and more land changed hands under the iron hooves of these lords, and some lands with extremely strategic resources could even change hands several times a day.

There are two reasons for this situation.

One is that most of the lords have completed the first era buildings and have advanced buildings and advanced new types of arms of the new era.

As a result, they have gained stronger war capabilities and mobilization capabilities than before.

Therefore, the intensity and intensity of the war between the lords have directly risen to a higher level, and the struggle in the Trial Continent has even destroyed most of the local indigenous forces, allowing these "barbarians" who originally existed in the form of countries and tribes to be captured batch after batch as slaves by other lords.

The second reason is the stimulation from Wu Wei.

All the lords discovered the abnormality of their Heavenly Dao system at the moment when the Seed of the Abyss was completed, and also discovered the strange twenty-day countdown after the Heavenly Dao system recovered.

It was this twenty-day death countdown that made these lords become more and more crazy and more and more obsessed with taking more resources into their own territory.

What, you ask why these lords know that this lord trial will be called off by Wu Wei in twenty days, so why don't they form a large army to directly attack Wu Wei first?

The reason is simple.

Interest!

Because the act of attacking Wu Wei itself does not have any benefit for many lords who were originally ranked in the middle and lower ranks in the school.

Note that the lords mentioned here are the group of people ranked in the middle and lower ranks.

Their strength is not enough to continue plundering for twenty days in the lord trial test.

Their only appeal is to complete this lord trial.

As for the final reward of the lord trial, they did not intend to compete for it.

That is a reward for the strong, not for them.

And they know this very well.

Due to the particularity of the lord trial, the later stage of this trial will become a winner-takes-all game, so instead of wasting time in the later stage to conduct various decisive battles with other lords, they, who have already lowered the standard, decided to quickly gather enough resource points to complete the lord trial within these short twenty days, and then return to their respective planes.

Although one hundred thousand resource points is only the consumption of one battle for giant lords like Su Yingxue and Wu Wei.

But for these small lords, it is the key to whether they can pass the lord assessment.

So in some cases, they are actually very grateful to Wu Wei.

Because of his existence, and because of what he did, most of the top lords focused their attention on him, ignoring this large group of small and medium-sized lords.

This group of top lords are already communicating with each other, forming alliances, and forming a new army to attack Wu Wei's territory.

The scale of this army will be so large that even Wu Wei cannot stop it.

However....

Wu Wei never thought of facing this army head-on, at least not until he was ready.

——————————

"What did you say, Su Yingxue?"

The edge of Su Yingxue's territory.

Su Yingxue, riding a white horse, and Li Sinuo, looked expressionlessly at the dozen or so lords in front of them.

"You actually object to joining our alliance, are you really not kidding me."

"You must know that the condition for us to pull you into our alliance is to make you the leader of our alliance, the kind that holds the greatest power!"

These dozen or so lords are basically powerful lords whose sphere of influence is on the east and south sides of the Trial Continent.

The people present are also existences who want to participate in the final reward competition of the lord trial.

Therefore, under the current situation of having a common enemy, they will take the initiative to put aside all their prejudices and actively form an alliance, and attempt to bring Su Yingxue into the group.

However, the reason why they brought Su Yingxue into the group is not because they respect Su Yingxue or anything like that.

They, who are equally arrogant, only truly respect the enormous power that Su Yingxue holds in her hands.

"In twenty days, the entire trial will be ended by Wu Wei, don't you want to stop him?"

A female lord wearing a white cloak questioned Su Yingxue.

Unlike other lords, this female lord actually admired Su Yingxue in her heart.

"No, I really want to stop him."

Su Yingxue sighed, looked at the land she had conquered behind her, and said seriously.

"But I have told you, I will not join any alliance, even if you want me to be the leader of the alliance, I will not join your alliance."

"Why?"

"Because my ideas are different from yours."

Su Yingxue said with a smile.

Unlike Wu Wei's slightly evil smile, Su Yingxue's smile looks very sincere and a little better-looking.

"If I want to become a lord, I will let you impose absolute renzheng, treat your people like your own children, can you do this?"

Many lords present couldn't help but frown.

In fact, this is unlikely.

Because of race and era, many of these lords' territories are still in a slave society.

"This is an impossible thing... So, I will not form a common alliance with you."

"Secondly, I also disagree with the fact that you are preparing to form a large army to attack Wu Wei."

If the previous one was a bit embarrassing for other lords, then what Su Yingxue said was purely nonsense.

"Are you crazy too? Su Yingxue."

"If Wu Wei's evil plan really succeeds, then the territory you occupy on the Trial Continent will actually not be able to be preserved."

"At that time, wouldn't your people also be dead? Living is even worse, they will become demon slave workers, that is demon slave workers!"

In this alliance, a lot of Wu Wei's information is shared.

Therefore, this group of lords are very clear about the fact that Wu Wei's main "civilian unit" is demon slave workers.

And they naturally know that the treatment suffered by slaves who become demon slave workers is several times crueler than ordinary slaves.

Su Yingxue shook her head and continued.

"No, you still don't understand!"

"I am not stopping you from attacking Wu Wei, I simply think that now is not a good time to attack Wu Wei."

"Good time?"

"Yes, good time."

Faced with the questions from these lords, Su Yingxue was still very patient in answering.

Because, don't think that Su Yingxue has so-called private affairs with Wu Wei, she will release water to Wu Wei in this trial.

on the contrary.

Out of respect for Wu Wei, Su Yingxue is the one among the countless lords who is most in awe of Wu Wei's strength.

"Now you shouldn't be so impatient to gather your army."

"What you should do is to prepare for defensive counterattacks."

"Because Wu Wei has not yet taken action, you must wait until his attack unfolds before seeking the opportunity to unite."

"Otherwise...."

...

"Hahaha."

"Sorry, I really couldn't help it when I heard this."

One lord couldn't help but laugh.

"Su Yingxue, do you mean to let us carry out a defensive counterattack? A defensive counterattack against Wu Wei."

"Don't you look at the number of our troops, and then look at the number of his troops."

"It should be Wu Wei himself who should carry out a defensive counterattack!"

This lord is right, judging from the scale of the troops alone, the number of joint troops they have has reached the point where they can easily crush Wu Wei's side.

Although an army of this scale cannot guarantee that the quality of all the warriors is in the elite class,

But still that sentence, this group of lords are themselves the most top-notch group in strength.

Even if the number of their warriors is weaker, at least they are stronger than the ordinary warriors of ordinary lords.

More importantly.

At least half of this group of lords have purchased steampunk weapons made by goblins and gnomes from Li Qi.

In other words, although Li Qi, who is no longer participating in the Trial Continent competition and is concentrating on researching technology in his own acre of land, has not directly joined their alliance, he has still made great efforts to strengthen this army.

If all the lords of such a legion are of one mind to forcibly attack Su Yingxue's territory, there is basically not much problem, let alone Wu Wei, whose ruling foundation is weaker than Su Yingxue's.

Hearing what these lords said, Su Yingxue didn't know what to say for a while.

"What about the plague? What about the plague ability that Wu Wei has?"

"Faced with Wu Wei's plague ability that has been shown once, how should you defend against it?"

Like the demon slave workers, Wu Wei's plague ability is no longer a secret.

"Don't be afraid, we have prepared for those virulent plagues!"

"Although the alliance we have formed is loose, we have shared our pharmacists and pharmaceutical resources with each other after a series of discussions, and let them prepare a large number of potions."

"So in our logistics troops, there are always enough defensive potions prepared for the soldiers to drink twice."

"Moreover, our priests have also been fully charged and can release healing divine arts at any time."

"Wu Wei's plague ability, although it gave people a shocking feeling when it was released for the first time, in our opinion who are already prepared, his level of plague ability is not enough to see."

Hearing this, Su Yingxue didn't know what to say.

"Since that's the case, then I..."

"I can only wish you good luck."

Su Yingxue sighed helplessly and made a gesture to the lords who came to the edge of her territory to leave.

And those lords, seeing that Su Yingxue had such an attitude, had no choice but to leave here.

But...

When they left, Su Yingxue suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Sinuo looked at her best friend, thinking she was crazy.

"I laugh because I saw a good opportunity for expansion."

"A good opportunity to occupy a large amount of territory without bloodshed!"

Su Yingxue swept away the past sincerity and innocence, and at this time, her eyes were full of cunning.

"Believe me, Li Sinuo."

"Soon, you and I must be prepared to compete with beasts for food!"

At the same time.

In Wu Wei's underground kingdom, countless demons also began to stir and began to mobilize for war.

However, this time their offensive target is the same as the plague released by Wu Wei, their purpose is everyone on the entire trial!
