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

#313 - Chapter 313 Alliance and Poisoning

"Damn it, I can't hold on any longer, I'm retreating first!"

"Why are these damned guys so strong!"

When the troll Titus and his companions were released by the War College onto this continent for assessment, inevitable disaster began.

Their extremely large numbers, like locusts crossing the border, continuously ravaged and attacked more than one-tenth of the continent's area.

Although one-tenth of the area doesn't sound like much.

It should be noted that:

All of this one-tenth of the area is land guarded by lords!

One lord after another left the battlefield.

Faced with this situation, the Shen family's three sisters immediately proposed a new motion.

They gathered the lords who had not yet been defeated and then spoke their minds.

"We need to unite, everyone!"

The eldest of the Shen family's three sisters stood up and said.

"The current situation has greatly exceeded our expectations."

"We underestimated this so-called first assessment."

"As a result, we made a fatal mistake at the beginning."

"We dispersed our armies."

"Many people's armies are in a state of fighting on their own."

"But our enemies are united."

"In this case, we must unite to fight against the enemy, against the enemies of the Empire!"

However, after hearing what the Shen family's three sisters said.

Not many of the lords present were moved.

Of course, many lords also showed firm support.

The specific reason for the vast difference in their attitudes was due to their different situations.

Most of the lords who were indifferent to the proposal were far from the combat area.

Although the troll Titus and his army were unstoppable all the way, the problem was that this group of terrifying armies was very far away from them.

In other words, they are temporarily in a safe stage.

And their real thought was actually to drag it out.

Drag it out until those "unlucky" lords are eliminated, and then go to fight against Titus and other alien races.

You know, although the number of Titus and other enemies of the Empire is very large, they do not have any supplements.

One less dies.

In this case, they just need to wait.

After all, according to the real situation, the other lords present are also their "enemies", aren't they?

The more of them are eliminated, the higher their chances of entering the War College.

But another group of lords didn't think so at all.

Because they were unlucky, many of them were basically about to face the troll Titus's soldiers.

That's why they so strongly supported the joint proposal put forward by the Shen family's three sisters.

The Shen family's three sisters naturally knew this, so they directly pointed it out.

"Everyone, this has nothing to do with command, nor does it have anything to do with so-called pride."

"It's about survival!"

"I know what you're thinking."

"Let others die first, and then pick the fruits yourself!"

"But you have to think clearly."

"What exactly is the purpose of this assessment!"

The second sister of the Shen family's three sisters said.

"If it's just to let us eliminate those alien races, this assessment is impossible."

"Because none of us can rely on our own strength to fight against so many alien races alone!"

"So, the purpose of this assessment is to let us master the power of unity!"

"Only by uniting can we clean up those enemies of the Empire with the least loss. At the same time, only by uniting can we have enough power to complete the second assessment."

"Of course, we are destined to fail the second assessment, but the problem is that we will do better when we unite than we do now!"

"In short, the ultimate goal of this assessment is to get us to unite!"

"This is the real idea of the War College!"

"Believe me, if we don't unite, or if we disobey orders and don't do our best, then we will all be eliminated!"

"Not because we were defeated, but because of our respective greed!"

"The War College will not accept us who cannot cooperate with each other!"

——————————

"That's a good point."

"These three sisters have finally said what I'm thinking."

In the principal's office of the War College, Han Xuan nodded as he looked at the Shen family's three sisters on his screen.

And his assistant, Instructor Xiao Shi, after hearing such a "hint", immediately submitted the information of the Shen family's three sisters to his principal.

"Oh, is it actually someone from the Shen family?"

"No wonder the three of them are behaving like this."

"The Shen family is a group that is very keen on forming cliques, whether on the battlefield or in the royal palace."

"But...."

Han Xuan shook his head.

"This is both their advantage and their disadvantage."

"Do you know why I say that, Xiao Shi?"

"Because...."

Xiao Shi frowned, thought for a moment, and replied.

"Because if they want to form cliques, then they must establish enemies."

"These enemies can be the enemies of the Empire when dealing with foreign enemies."

"When dealing with internal affairs, they can be other loyalist families."

"You're absolutely right!"

Han Xuan turned his head and glanced at Instructor Xiao Shi.

To be honest, he thinks that this young man, Xiao Shi, has a lot of potential.

Although his strength and courage are still lacking, his shrewdness and calmness have made Han Xuan consider whether he should give the title of Principal of the War College to this young man in front of him after a hundred years.

"The Shen family has always been like this."

"Anyone who has a good relationship with their family can be sheltered by their family and become a member of their large group."

"And anyone who disagrees with their family will be opposed and besieged by them."

"Their existence is like a double-edged sword to the Empire!"

Hearing this, Instructor Xiao Shi raised a new question.

"But, Principal, I don't understand one thing."

"That is, if the Shen family is in this situation, then why doesn't His Majesty, the Peerless Emperor, take action to stop them?"

"You know, many promising families have lost a lot of elites in vain because of the Shen family."

"If these elites are used to recover the territory of the Empire, it will be a huge increase in combat power."

"But why doesn't His Majesty, the Peerless Emperor, take action to stop them?"

Hearing this, Han Xuan's eyes changed.

After hesitating for a while, he still chose to tell Xiao Shi his understanding.

Even though what he said would, to some extent, put him in the position of being disloyal.

"Because His Majesty, the Emperor, he..."

——————————

Han Xuan lowered his head and said helplessly.

"Because the Emperor also has his own family!"

"Although everyone should be loyal to him."

"But the problem is that the Emperor, as the sword holder of the Empire, must first consider the interests of his family, not the interests of the entire Empire."

"So, Xiao Shi, you need to understand one thing."

"The interests of the Empire are not completely equal to the interests of His Majesty, the Peerless Emperor!"

"Therefore, the interests of the aristocratic family take precedence over the interests of the entire Empire."

"This is very important!"

"Because..."

Han Xuan turned his head and said to Instructor Xiao Shi next to him with incomparable seriousness.

"Only when you understand this can you better serve His Majesty, the Peerless Emperor, in the process of serving the Empire in the future!"

"Only when you understand this can you better understand the internal strife within the Empire!"

"I..."

"Understood!"

Xiao Shi didn't know why the principal in front of him would suddenly say these things.

So he was a little dazed for a while.

You know, in his mind, his principal had never shown this look.

Moreover....

The words that the other party said didn't seem like something he could say.

Because everyone in the world knows that Han Xuan, the principal of the War College, is the most staunch loyalist within the Empire.

However, Han Xuan seemed to have remembered something, and he continued.

"Xiao Shi, you must promise me one thing."

"That is, no matter what, you must follow the Emperor's will!"

"No matter what orders he issues!"

"And don't care what his orders are for."

"The purpose of our War College's existence is for the Empire."

"It's good that you understand this!"

"Okay..."

"I understand."

Xiao Shi was silent.

And Han Xuan also seemed to know that he had said too much.

After he finished saying all this, he turned his head and continued to look at the screen.

But...

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Han Xuan was stunned for a moment.

"Xiao Shi, have you felt it."

"The attack speed of that group of enemies of the Empire seems to have slowed down?"

Xiao Shi, who was still savoring Han Xuan's words, was also suddenly stunned.

"It seems..."

'That's indeed the case!'

On the map, the troll Titus's army, which had originally spread for thousands of miles, suddenly stagnated.

It was as if they were waiting for some order.

Not only did the speed of the troll Titus's army begin to slow down.

Even the armies of Wu Wei's side that were approaching some resource-producing areas and had already come into contact with them suddenly slowed down.

Han Xuan had never imagined such a situation.

Because he didn't understand why this group of damned enemies of the Empire were no longer continuing to attack forward.

"What's going on?"

"Is it the defensive positions set up by that brat Wu Wei that are preventing this group of enemies of the Empire from continuing to advance?"

With this question in mind, Han Xuan quickly opened the screen in front of him and positioned it to the area where Le Wu Wei was located.

To be honest, Wu Wei has already given Han Xuan too many surprises.

Sometimes, the number of these surprises has evolved from a quantitative change to a qualitative change, turning into a complete shock.

Sure enough, Han Xuan's sixth sense was right.

When the scene on Wu Wei's territory appeared in front of him.

This elderly general, one of the strongest lords of the Empire, was stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, he roared angrily.

"I ****!"

"Wu Wei, you little!"

"How dare you!"

"How dare you, dare..."

While saying this, Han Xuan forcefully covered his chest.

"How dare you become a damned ally with the enemies of the Empire!"

Dong!

With Han Xuan's rage, his poor desk was directly smashed into a pile of rubble.

And his office also became a mess because of his anger.

As for Instructor Xiao Shi next to him.

He looked at the scene in front of him with a dazed expression.

Not daring to believe his eyes.

Because a scene that had never appeared in history, or rather, in human history, appeared in his eyes.

Wu Wei, this human lord.

Was actually smiling and shaking hands intimately with the troll Titus, who was an enemy of the Empire.

And in the picture, Instructor Xiao Shi clearly noticed that Wu Wei's eyes were very special.

The reason why it is said to be special.

Is because it was the first time Instructor Xiao Shi had seen that a creature's eyes would actually have a scarlet vertical pupil on one side and a black-red vortex on the other!

————————————————

"Oh?"

"You really agreed."

"Titus!"

Wu Wei said to the troll Titus in front of him with a smile.

Unlike the smiling Wu Wei, the troll Titus had a livid face.

His expression was almost extremely stinky.

"I'm not here to agree to form an alliance with you."

"I'm just here to ask you for the antidote!"

"You damned bastard!"

"You actually released a damned poisonous plague on my infantry!"

"Poisonous plague?"

"No, no, no!"

"You misunderstood, Titus!"

Wu Wei laughed again.

"I swear to God, the plague I released on you is not a poisonous plague."

"But a small, harmless plague that can only make some of you lose their combat effectiveness!"

"Didn't you notice."

"The people among you who are infected with the plague just have ordinary diarrhea and a persistent high fever?"

"If the plague I released at the beginning was the poisonous kind, believe me, my dear Mr. Titus, you might be fine now."

"But the warriors under your command are already less than one in ten!"

"I have that ability!"

When he said this, Wu Wei took out a huge, fat maggot from his pocket.

"Look, this little cutie is proof that I told the truth!"

"You..."

"Hearing you say that only makes me despise you even more!"

"Haven't you given up on your plan to win me over yet?"

Titus sighed.

To be honest, he was unwilling to cooperate with Wu Wei.

But this time,

he had no choice but to cooperate.

Because Wu Wei's methods were simply too vicious.

Vicious in the literal sense.

Wu Wei had anticipated that he and his subordinates did not have strong analytical abilities.

So from the beginning, he had planned to use poison.

And it successfully caused Titus and the others to lose a great deal of their combat power.

That's why Titus came before Wu Wei in such a humble manner, begging for the antidote.

No need to ask why Titus knew that Wu Wei had the antidote.

The reason is simple.

After successfully poisoning them, Wu Wei did not hesitate to announce through a loudspeaker that he was the one who did it!

And his purpose was originally to get Titus to contact him again.

But this was only his superficial purpose.

His real purpose was actually much darker and more cruel.

He was deliberately tempting the troll in front of him to fall.

"Regardless..."

Wu Wei held out his hand.

"At least I provided you with the antidote."

"Right?"

Wu Wei smiled happily.

"You see, we can still cooperate with each other."

"And I also have a small gift for you."
