#727 - Chapter 727: Rewards for Loyalty
A moment later, an unfamiliar guest arrived in Wu Wei's Abyssal territory.
And this unfamiliar guest was naturally His Highness, the First Prince, Shi Renjun.
However, as soon as the Prince entered Wu Wei's territory, his first reaction was:
"This..."
"Is this your territory?"
Then, this pampered lord issued a question that struck Wu Wei's soul directly.
"This is too shabby!"
"This kind of place can even be called a territory?"
Listening to the other party's complaints, Wu Wei smiled secretly, stopping the Abyssal Will tentacles that were preparing to beat him to death, and slowly explained.
"Your Highness, you think my territory is shabby only because you are looking at it from the perspective of an ordinary lord."
"If you change your perspective and regard my territory as a huge war base, what would you think?"
Hearing Wu Wei's reminder, Prince Shi Renjun suddenly understood.
Sure enough, in Prince Shi Renjun's new perspective, Wu Wei's territory was a dark land with a dim sky, and a huge black and red vortex slowly rotating in the sky.
In this territory, countless terrifying and huge Abyssal incubation pools were hatching all kinds of demon cocoons day and night.
Almost every minute, strange-shaped demons hatched from these demon cocoons, screaming and roaring, looking for anything they could eat.
And in the more distant direction, countless demon slave laborers were constantly forging weapons suitable for demons in forges led by demon craftsmen.
These weapons were either strangely like scrap iron, or they looked unusable at all, not conforming to the standards of ordinary creatures.
But it was such weapons that became absolute hot commodities among the demon groups.
Every demon longed to obtain a weapon made by a demon craftsman and use it to satisfy their desire for slaughter.
And in the central area of the entire territory, several demon heroes were kneeling in front of Wu Wei's Abyssal throne, waiting for his orders.
Some of these demon heroes were hundreds of meters tall, their bodies like giants, while others were as small as insects, constantly drilling in and out of a bandaged monster's body.
And some demon heroes even parasitized on demons in the form of single-edged swords, constantly making harsh鸣叫sounds.
In addition, Prince Shi Renjun even saw a very special demon hero that, according to legend, only Wu Wei could possess, the Electronic Demon!
"Indeed...."
Prince Shi Renjun nodded.
"You're right."
"I misunderstood before."
"Rather than a territory, your territory should be called a military factory!"
"Everything here exists for one purpose, and that is war."
Speaking of this, Prince Shi Renjun raised his head and looked at the top of his head.
Above his head, that black and red vortex was responding to his gaze across an extremely long distance in the sky.
And in this process, the dark and corrupted abyss was silently influencing this imperial prince.
"Alright, I've seen your territory."
"So Wu Wei, you should also answer my question."
"If you help me, help me become the Emperor of the Empire, then what exactly do you want to get from me?"
Because there was really no place to sit, this poor prince, like Wu Wei, had no choice but to sit on a "sofa" made up of several little demons.
Although these little demons gnashed their teeth in anger, considering that the Abyssal Lord was not far away.
Their anger obviously had no effect.
"Of course it's war!"
"I crave a constant stream of war!"
"It is because of such a simple reason that I chose to support you."
"I believe that once you can become the Emperor of the Human Empire, then you will definitely use the power of the Empire at all costs to launch external wars, right?"
"Whether it is to seize the lost territories of the Empire, or to slaughter those alien races who do not obey the teachings, even those lords who are not very obedient, you will definitely go to great lengths to exterminate them."
"What I value is the countless wars you will wage before and after becoming emperor!"
"But, my dear Prince, although I crave war, you have also seen...."
Wu Wei pointed to his territory behind him and said with a smile.
"Although I have always craved war and have been waging war, war is a very expensive affair."
"And I, very unluckily, am a penniless pauper in the true sense of the word."
"Although I have the idea and ability to launch wars, my economic situation does not support me to launch wars frequently."
"So...."
"I understand."
Prince Shi Renjun nodded once again.
Now, he is very satisfied with Wu Wei's "honesty".
Although he had some doubts about Wu Wei before, considering that Wu Wei had already taken the initiative to expose his core territory in front of him, he now has a very high degree of recognition for Wu Wei.
Therefore, in order to reward Wu Wei's loyalty, Prince Shi Renjun gave him a new benefit.
"Here, take this thing."
After saying that, Prince Shi Renjun threw a token-like thing into Wu Wei's arms.
"This is?"
After Wu Wei took it, he was surprised to find that it was a token with Prince Shi Renjun's name written on it.
However, this token was engraved with all kinds of imperial remonstrances and the extremely unique double-headed eagle logo of the royal family.
"This is my private token."
"It is not valuable in itself, but as long as you hold it, you can freely mobilize all the resources you need within my sphere of influence!"
"I probably don't need this."
Wu Wei smiled.
"Because you have already given me similar permissions before."
Here, Wu Wei was referring to the fact that Prince Shi Renjun had previously asked those lords under his command to help Wu Wei collect war materials.
"No."
"This time is different."
"Wu Wei, as long as you hold this token, you don't need to get my consent when you mobilize resources."
"Although strictly speaking, I only allow you to use the resources that can be mobilized with this token to fight against my enemies, but...."
"As a reward for your loyalty."
"From now on, I will not ask you any questions."
"Even, if you need it, you can take anything you fancy at any time."
"Including artifacts!"
Hearing what the Prince said, Wu Wei immediately said with a face of righteousness.
"Your Highness, isn't it not very good for you to do this? After all, there are many people under your command who will be dissatisfied with me."
Although he said so, Wu Wei still stuffed the token into his personal space without any hesitation, fearing that the Prince would regret it.
Seeing Wu Wei's greed, the Prince was not angry at all.
On the contrary, he was very satisfied with Wu Wei's greed.
Because he already understood that Wu Wei was the most worthy of cultivation among all his subordinates.
Whether it is "loyalty" or personal strength.
Wu Wei's personal strength is already good, and if he is given enough resources, then the Prince has the confidence to use this "subordinate", oh no, this "partner" to win this battle for the throne.
As long as he can eventually ascend to the throne, then these resources he gave Wu Wei are nothing at all!
After all, his goal is the entire Human Empire.
And Wu Wei's goal is only an insignificant part of the Human Empire.
However, these are still not the reasons why Prince Shi Renjun values Wu Wei so much.
The reason why Shi Renjun believes that Wu Wei can be trusted is because in any of the conditions that Wu Wei has mentioned, the extremely greedy him, only one thing, has not shown any demands.
And that thing is power!
That's right, even the Iron-Blooded Duke, whose power is already great enough, has expressed his demands for power and political interests in negotiations with Prince Shi Renjun.
But Wu Wei is the only exception.
All he craves is war!
Thinking of this, Shi Renjun's goodwill towards Wu Wei increased again.
So, as a matter of course, this prince, who was gradually being corrupted by the abyss, began to tell Wu Wei his most core secrets.
The biggest secret is the ranking of the current princes and princesses!
And the current situation of the Human Empire!
The secret situation!
