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

The edge of the Bitter Sea Desert.

Twelve hours before the black sun rises.

————————————

When Wu Wei, holding the Abyss Codex and wearing the Black Sun Pendant on his chest, appeared on the edge of the desert,

all the abyssal creatures, regardless of their race or combat strength, knelt before Wu Wei the moment they saw the Abyss Codex.

Their attitude could no longer be described as loyalty.

It was true humility, an adoration and longing etched into their bones and souls.

As for Wu Wei?

He coldly ignored all of this, then took a deep breath of the dry air in the surrounding desert.

"Huff..."

"It's been a long time since I've seen the outside world."

Wu Wei smiled as he watched the sun setting in the distance.

"I've been in the endless abyss for too long, I feel like I'm going to be assimilated by the abyss in the next second."

After regaining his pleasant mood, he immediately returned to his normal state.

After all, he wasn't here to admire the scenery or to travel.

On the contrary, he came to this desert to personally bring death and disaster, so after taking one last greedy look at the beauty of the desert, Wu Wei began to issue his battle orders to his demon warriors, transferring them to designated areas one by one.

It has to be said that after leaving the Abyss Throne, Wu Wei lost the ability to closely observe the construction of his territory, and he could no longer receive a lot of information.

But this did not affect his command of his army, or the issuance of orders to various hero units and special units.

That was enough.

After all, he knew better than anyone that the Dwarf Kingdom he had left behind would soon fall.

Only the Dwarf King City could hold out until his return, so losing the ability to closely observe the attributes of the territory at this moment was actually a good thing for him.

He could put all his heart and soul into leading the army in front of him.

"Advance!"

As night fell, Wu Wei's demon army set off one after another, taking advantage of the darkness to enter the Bitter Sea Desert.

And these restless demons had long been starving.

Although many of them had already feasted in various dwarven towns, the demons' hunger came from the soul, from desire.

So even if they had just eaten their fill, they were still hungry all the time.

But in order to prevent too many casualties, Wu Wei directly used his Abyss Heart skill as an Abyss Lord and Abyss Priest to forcibly prevent all the demons from killing their own kind.

Although doing so would make the demons more prone to madness and more violent, Wu Wei still insisted on doing so.

Because he knew that he would not get any reinforcements until he had completely defeated all the orc tribes in the entire Bitter Sea Desert.

So in order to achieve his strategic goals, he had to minimize his casualties as much as possible.

However, thanks to the Abyss Codex in hand, and the Abyss Heart being really useful, these demons were indeed still obedient.

Even if Wu Wei ordered them to march madly along the edge of the desert, they would not have any "complaints".

But it has to be said that Wu Wei's advance route, like his decision to attack the Bitter Sea Desert, was incomprehensible to other lords.

Generally speaking, a normal army marches according to a predetermined route.

They would not be too far apart from each other, and could ensure mutual support.

But Wu Wei went against the norm.

He divided his army into two.

Most of the demon warriors were desperately marching to their deaths along the edge of the Bitter Sea Desert.

Such an advance was not only destined to not encounter any enemies, but was also prone to the effects of bad weather, causing unnecessary casualties.

But Wu Wei still insisted on doing so, as if he wanted to use most of the demon warriors to surround the entire Bitter Sea Desert.

Secondly, Wu Wei divided the remaining small half of the tens of thousands of demon warriors again.

Among them, 30,000 demons were directly under Wu Wei's command, always following him.

The other tens of thousands of demons, like a plant root deep into the Bitter Sea Desert, would split off a small team of less than a thousand people each time they reached a node.

Then, these small teams of a thousand people that had been split off would receive Wu Wei's new orders and head towards different nodes.

And after reaching the new node, these small teams would continue to disperse, turning into several hundred-person teams and continuing to advance into the interior of the Bitter Sea Desert.

Then it was just repeated, knowing that these small armies split into about ten demon squads.

Infinite splitting, infinite advancement.

Finally, in the Bitter Sea Desert, countless demon squads began "aimless" exploration.

Because their target was too small.

So many teams did not encounter any orcs at all during the march.

Even the direction that many demon squads were marching in would not pass through any oasis at all.

In other words, these demon warriors would die in vain in this desert after the desert sun rose under Wu Wei's cruel orders.

Really die in vain.

Because if he wanted to explore the map, Wu Wei's large number of Laurent demons were far more efficient and convenient than these walking demons.

But Wu Wei didn't care about this and still insisted on doing so.

Because those demons that were split off were likely to die.

They don't need to ask why, they just need to complete their orders.

This is the only thing he thinks soldiers need to do.

As for Wu Wei, he arrived at the first current vicinity in the early hours of the morning, less than a few hours after the advance.

An oasis area that had been converted into an orc outpost.

Although the dire wolves in the outpost kept howling warnings at the night, the orcs who were venting their desires with various slaves did not take it to heart.

Because in addition to the sense of security brought to them by the half-orc sentries, they also did not believe that there would be any creatures on the Trial Continent who would dare to attack them in the Bitter Sea Desert.

So, while they were still reveling in the joy, pairs of scarlet eyes began to flicker in the darkness outside the outpost.

These scarlet demon eyes did not have any emotions that could be considered beautiful.

The emotions contained in their eyes were only tyranny and cruelty, and the madness bestowed on them by the endless abyss.

They.

Like orcs.

They also have their own desires to release!

The desire to kill!
