#1084 - Chapter 1084 Political Struggle and a Life-and-Death Fight
“Earth Annihilation Drill?”
“You want to use this thing to deal with the World Tree?”
“Is that even possible?”
Hearing Wu Wei's “wild idea,” Shi Xin immediately voiced her doubts.
After all, she knew very well what the Earth Annihilation Drill was.
This ore-drilling device, used by the Human Empire to bore through the earth, was, in essence, just a piece of industrial equipment.
Although its powerful kinetic energy and sheer size could successfully disrupt the geological structure of a continent, the problem was that this crude steel contraption required tens of thousands of workers to operate simultaneously.
Moreover, these workers couldn't be replaced by soldiers.
So, if Wu Wei wanted to use this device, he would need additional personnel deployment.
More crucially, the Earth Annihilation Drill had no direct combat capability.
If Wu Wei was planning to use this thing to directly attack the main body of the World Tree, then Shi Xin believed that Wu Wei could just forget about the whole thing.
However, Shi Xin's doubts failed to dissuade Wu Wei.
Wu Wei simply replied coldly:
“Do as I say.”
After saying that, this commander-in-chief of several legions, in front of everyone, established a new Abyssal Portal and left.
Watching the rapidly disappearing Wu Wei, all the lords, including Shi Xin, couldn't help but sigh.
Sure enough.
Although Wu Wei's command skills during this period had given them many shocks,
Wu Wei, on the whole, was still that complete madman.
And what shocked many lords was that Wu Wei actually possessed a portal that could ignore the rules of planar lockdown.
This made many lords re-evaluate Wu Wei's value.
After all...
Once the war developed to an unfavorable stage, Wu Wei's Abyssal Portal might be their only hope of escape.
However, this idea was just wishful thinking on their part.
Because Wu Wei would never allow this group of stupid and worthless lords to enter his Abyssal territory.
Unless.
They were in the form of food.
——————————
However, after Wu Wei left Shi Xin and the others' teleportation area through his Abyssal Portal, he didn't rush back to the Abyssal Throne. His first stop was the garrison area belonging to the First Prince Shi Renjun's forces.
Although in the Abyssal territory, the Fallen Angel Liz was still anxiously waiting for Wu Wei to send a mixed army of demons and fallen to support the territories of the various dark races, Wu Wei still chose this area as his first stop.
After all, in Wu Wei's eyes, after he discovered the corpse of the Star God, this world's value became far higher than that of the dark races.
No matter how strong the dark races were, the benefits they brought were far less than those of this Star God's corpse.
So....
In the blink of an eye, Wu Wei reappeared in front of Han Liwei and the other lords.
“Mr. Wu Wei, you're back?”
Inside the relatively clean command post, countless lords immediately lit up upon seeing Wu Wei's return and stepped forward to greet him.
Unlike the fools on Shi Xin's side,
These lords clearly respected Wu Wei more.
Because the combat missions that Wu Wei had set for them before he left had successfully made them realize the gap between their level and Wu Wei's.
Although many of them, like the combat-type lords on Shi Xin's side, couldn't understand Wu Wei's instructions at first,
When they discovered that their army was cutting through the Elven army's defenses like a knife through butter, they finally understood the reason.
Therefore, as soon as Wu Wei returned, these lords enthusiastically stepped forward to greet him.
In just two days, their attitude had changed 180 degrees.
But Wu Wei ignored their eagerness.
With a cold face, he silently walked to the battle line map, which had been updated, and observed the current situation.
“Not bad.”
“You are stronger than the fools on Shi Xin's side.”
“At least, you didn't cut corners when completing your tasks.”
Seeing that his instructions had been carried out, Wu Wei rarely criticized any of the lords, but instead gave an affirmative answer.
“In that case, I will also issue new instructions to you....”
A series of new tasks were spoken from Wu Wei's mouth and assigned to each of the lords leading troops.
However, after hearing these tasks, these lords were stunned.
Because they didn't expect that the new task Wu Wei issued was to have them lead their troops to quickly open a passage to Shi Xin's controlled area and establish a solid defense line.
He wanted to reintegrate the armies of these two sides into a whole.
Such a plan seemed a bit like wishful thinking.
Because this group of lords were subordinates of the First Prince Shi Renjun.
Although they were nominally all imperial troops and generals, if they rashly merged with the troops of Shi Xin and others, then they would have new troubles.
The biggest trouble was political trouble!
“Mr. Wu Wei, we will not question your orders.”
Thinking of this, a lord leaned over and cautiously reminded Wu Wei.
“However, considering that you may not understand politics, I mean.”
“You may not understand the political struggles within the empire, so I ask you to reconsider whether your orders are reasonable.”
Hearing the other party say this, Wu Wei turned his head and glanced at them coldly.
“No need to reconsider, just do as I say.”
“But...”
“No buts.”
Wu Wei took a deep breath and said an answer that frightened everyone.
“Because, if I don't do this.”
“We won't even last fifteen days, and after fifteen days, it will be the death of all of you.”
“In less than fifteen days, these elves will completely allow the World Tree to occupy this world!”
“So you can make a choice, would you rather continue with useless political struggles, or fight the elves to the death?”
“Oh right, I forgot to say, the elves actually started their evil plan the moment they planted the World Tree!”
Listening to Wu Wei's new information, all the lords were stunned.
Because they didn't expect that the elves, who were always known for their slow attacks, would choose such a method of attack.
In fact, Wu Wei himself didn't expect that the cunning elves would use the roots of the World Tree to excavate the corpse of the Star God!
