Lord Era: I, The Strongest Lord Of The Abyss!

"Hmm, not bad."

At this moment, Wu Wei finally gained full control of the Kingdom Passage after Mace Copperhammer's death.

However, he wasn't too hasty to continue his advance. Instead, he began to clean up the battlefield while dispatching dozens of demon squads of varying sizes to check the situation at other entrances of the passage.

And, despite the fact that these dozens of demon squads were attacked shortly after leaving and died in the nearby passages,

Wu Wei still didn't react in any way, but mechanically sent out more squads to check the situations he already knew in the various passages.

The reason for this was determined by Wu Wei's current situation.

The Dwarven Kingdom, or rather, the underground kingdom of the Dwarven race, is divided into two parts.

One part of it is composed of the various underground cities of the Dwarven Kingdom.

If these underground cities are counted regardless of size, there are a total of seven.

Among them are mining towns specializing in mining, food towns responsible for growing mushrooms and light-hating plants, and a forging town near a volcanic area.

They rely on the Kingdom Passage to trade and flow resources with other towns.

In short, these small Dwarven towns are very similar to certain independent urban functional areas.

However, each of them is garrisoned with a moderate number of Dwarven troops.

Although small, they have strong single functions.

The other part of the Dwarven Kingdom is composed of a single town.

The Dwarven Royal Capital!

A giant royal city with a population of hundreds of thousands of dwarves!

This is the real reason why Wu Wei didn't continue his advance after seizing control of the Kingdom Passage.

This giant city with a population of hundreds of thousands not only has two armies equal to Mace Copperhammer's army, but also has a King's Guard.

Although Wu Wei successfully occupied the Kingdom Passage, it was only temporary.

Because Mace Copperhammer's army fell too quickly, the news of their complete annihilation has only just reached the ears of the Dwarven King.

Wu Wei believed that with such a scale of troops, he would not be able to hold onto his current territory against the absolute number of attacks.

So he judged that now was definitely not a good time to continue the advance.

Because according to common sense, what Wu Wei should do most is to occupy one or two Dwarven towns as quickly as possible before the Royal Capital's army arrives and plunder them completely.

But doing so would instead fall into another dangerous situation.

That is, once Wu Wei's dispatch of troops is discovered by scouts, then the army in the Royal Capital will definitely rush into the Kingdom Passage without hesitation and take back their lost territory.

And then Wu Wei would be in a dilemma.

Not only would he not be able to take away the spoils of the towns he had conquered, but most of his army would also die under the impact of the Royal Capital's army.

So Wu Wei changed his strategy.

That is, he was going to make the Royal Capital, and everyone in all the Dwarven towns, believe that he was accumulating the next wave of attacks!

His only advantage now is that the other party doesn't know, or rather, can't accurately know the size of Wu Wei's army.

As long as he keeps sending out small groups of troops, pretending to be scouts to attack various places, then he can at least obtain a "safe period" in which he will not be attacked first by the other party for a long time!

Since the other party is guarding against him, thinking that he is about to accumulate attacks, then Wu Wei has no need to expose this "lie".

He needs time!

"I still need to continue hatching more troops."

Wu Wei looked at the Heavenly Dao System map and showed a pensive expression.

This was something that couldn't be helped.

Although the number of troops is sometimes not everything.

But in the face of absolute numbers, everything loses its meaning.

As a new lord, Wu Wei's ability to completely annihilate an entire Dwarven army so quickly is already a very powerful achievement.

But this is far from enough.

Because the Endless Abyss, as a living war machine, cannot stop.

Stopping means extinction.

Wu Wei must find a way to keep this machine running as much as possible.

No matter what method is used....

————————————

And on the other side.

In the Dwarven Royal Capital.

Facing Wu Wei's evil advance, the Dwarven King was also thinking about countermeasures.

But unlike Wu Wei.

Wu Wei has Dwarven spies, and he can understand the Dwarven Kingdom, and even the inside of the Dwarven Royal Capital.

But what about the Dwarven King's side?

Sorry.

He knows almost nothing about the actual situation of Wu Wei's side.

After all, Wu Wei's attack speed was too fast.

He was like a ghost that窜out of the darkness, starting to attack the Dwarven Kingdom for no reason, and then unreasonably annihilating Mace Copperhammer's army.

This evil monster did not conduct any "diplomacy" with the dwarves, nor did he express their demands in any way.

Whether it was food or materials, Wu Wei never made any demands on the Dwarven side.

In the past, the Dwarven Kingdom had conflicts with other forces, all with various legitimate or not-so-legitimate reasons.

But in short, they had reasons to have conflicts with other forces.

But Wu Wei and the demons he led were different.

He acted as if his only purpose was to come to the Dwarven Kingdom to slaughter wantonly.

Faced with such an enemy, both the Dwarven King and the Dwarven King's ministers were at a loss.

No one knew what this enemy wanted.

Therefore, everyone in the kingdom's palace felt suppressed by Wu Wei's arrival.

A group of ministers were silent in front of the angry Dwarven King, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Everyone was afraid that His Majesty the King would ask them how to solve the current predicament.

And each of them couldn't make up their minds.

Should they take the initiative to attack and take back the Kingdom Passage, or should they guard the royal city and observe the situation?

Everyone had different thoughts.

"Great Majesty!"

"I have a way!"

"Perhaps this method can allow us to recover our lost territory the fastest."

However, just when all the ministers, and even the king, were silent because of Wu Wei's unpredictability.

A Dwarven minister who was in charge of trade took the initiative to speak.

Hearing him speak first, the ministers and the king present were very surprised.

After all, they had never heard that this minister in charge of trade had any talent in military affairs.

But when this minister really told his idea to everyone, including His Majesty the King, they were basically stunned.

Because the suggestion brought by this trade minister was actually to establish an alliance!

And the object he wanted to ally with was actually a...

Foreign lord!

A new force is about to intervene in this war between the abyss and the dwarves.
