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

#1068 - Chapter 1068 Confirmation of Ideas

“We are entering a slow death.”

This was the first sentence Wu Wei spoke to the lords of the Human Empire after reviewing the situation of Plane Ister Sixty-Seven.

After saying this, Wu Wei ignored the livid faces of the lords and their gazes, continuing to speak.

“Look.”

Wu Wei placed his finger on the plane's defense map.

On this map, a huge shadow hovered over the center.

However, this so-called shadow was just a visual effect of the defense map.

What it represented was the World Tree planted by the elven kingdom.

“As long as this World Tree lives, we cannot win.”

“Because the essence of this World Tree in war is a living, expanding environmental magic array.”

The environmental magic array Wu Wei mentioned is a relatively rare sequence of magic arrays.

Its main function is to forcibly change the surrounding environment using magic to one more suitable for the race's combat and provide corresponding buffs.

Of course.

These so-called buffs vary in strength.

Weaker ones really just change the environment.

Stronger ones provide various attribute buffs.

For example, recovery abilities unique to the unit, speed enhancement abilities, and so on.

These abilities may not seem as powerful as direct attack magic, but you must consider one thing.

This is on the battlefield.

When every soldier on the battlefield receives similar buffs, the effect is terrifying.

The Blood Moon Descent of the blood clan and the Styx Surge of the undead are both environmental magic.

Oh, right.

From the effect, Wu Wei's Black Sun is also a type of environmental magic.

However, due to the special existence of the Endless Abyss, Wu Wei's Black Sun is not strictly magic.

It is more like a genuine environmental cover rather than a magical change.

But regardless, Wu Wei's meaning was clear.

As long as this World Tree belonging to the Elven Court exists, the trouble it causes to the Human Empire will continue forever.

——————————

Having clarified this, Wu Wei continued to speak to the lords beside him.

“So, if we want to completely resolve this war, we must find a way to destroy this World Tree.”

“But unfortunately, the elves will not give us this opportunity.”

After speaking, Wu Wei enlarged the city defense map in front of him dozens of times, displaying the various details to everyone.

Countless black squares and small dots were scattered across every street of this old industrial world.

“Look, each of these black squares represents a war ancient tree of at least a thousand years old.”

“And the small dots represent an elven squad.”

“As long as they exist, our army cannot directly reach the World Tree and destroy it.”

Hearing this, the lords all looked serious.

One lord with scars on his face said to Wu Wei.

“Then, Mad... cough cough, I mean Mr. Wu Wei.”

“We can actually form a suicide squad, directly charge into the enemy's defense area regardless of casualties, and tear through their defenses with brute force and blood.”

“Then, our follow-up troops can cross our corpses and eliminate these enemies of the empire!”

Hearing this, many lords gasped.

In this situation, charging into the enemy's defense line was equivalent to seeking death.

But...

“Of course, my legion and I are willing to undertake this task!”

“I, Han Liwei, am willing to be the vanguard of this legion.”

“Because this is the world I guard, and dying here is my mission!”

Hearing what the other party said, Wu Wei glanced at the lord named Han Liwei.

Because he recognized the identity of this lord, not only Wu Wei, but even the other lords recognized the identity of this lord.

Han Liwei is the youngest son of Han Xuan, the principal of the War College.

Because Han Xuan's eldest son had already died in a war against the enemies of the empire several years ago, he is now Han Xuan's only son in fact.

Although Han Liwei's grades were not enough to enter the War College, he was still serving the Human Empire in another way.

That is, joining the Royal Guard and becoming a fief lord without substantial territory, but leading his own legion to guard the territories of the major Human Empires.

Seeing the other party's determined expression, Wu Wei rolled his eyes at him.

“No!”

Then, Wu Wei gave a firm reply.

“Why not?”

Seeing Wu Wei reject his proposal, Han Liwei became anxious.

The fall of the world he guarded had already made him uneasy, but now Wu Wei directly rejected his proposal, which made Han Liwei feel despised.

But soon, Wu Wei explained.

“Because your army is very important in the subsequent war.”

“They are the main defense force of this planet.”

“If I waste your most powerful legion just to tear open a battle line, then my subsequent war will be even more difficult to win.”

Note.

Here, the words Wu Wei used were not failure, but difficult to win.

Many keen lords had already noticed Wu Wei's wording.

They already understood that Wu Wei probably had a way to win this war.

So a lord directly bypassed the anxious Han Liwei and asked Wu Wei.

“Then Mr. Wu Wei, do you have any ideas?”

“Yes.”

Wu Wei looked at the crisscrossing battlefield layout in front of him and nodded.

“And I have many ideas.”

When the lords heard that Wu Wei had ideas, their eyes lit up, waiting for this famous mad lord of the Human Empire, who was also the most famous lord of the War College, to stage a wonderful war for them.

But soon, their faces cooled down.

Because Wu Wei continued.

“But.”

“These ideas are just ideas for now.”

“Why?”

“Because my ideas need to be verified.”

“Secondly.”

“I also need to talk to the Empire's First Princess, Shi Xin.”

“Only after talking can I verify whether my ideas can be realized.”
