Chapter 134: Not A Big Deal, Right?
“Commander!” The adjutant was so anxious that he looked like he was about to cry. “We’ve never heard of this nonsense. Don’t let him stay here and cause more trouble. The war is more important!”
The adjutants in the room were all trusted aides. After all, they were senior subordinates. The commander finally nodded and ordered someone to put away the blueprint.
The female mage’s father, the continent’s number one mage, Darbus, walked toward Wang Wen. He said softly, “I understand you want to help me share the burden, but this matter can’t be rushed. You have to wait patiently for five days. After five days, the commander will deploy some men when the trap takes effect. Then, use other rotating troops to fill in the gaps in the stronghold, and I will be able to come back. When that time comes, I will teach you how to make the Magnificent Divine Stone.”
“Five days!” Wang Wen let out a long sigh with a heavy expression.
After that, he shouted, “Who else has questions? If there are no questions, we will start moving now!”
Wang Wen clapped his hands and walked out of the room.
He said hurriedly, “Quick, quick, quick, everyone, move! Sha Zhouleng, you bring the person in charge of the trap, and we will go straight to the site! Mo Ran, You’ll rush to the night elves to control their progress and beat them back. Don’t beat them too much. I’m worried that when the trap takes effect, we’ll be blamed for it. The progress will be off the charts. Miss Yan, please try to be as fast as possible. We can’t negotiate with military supplies such as heavy crossbows, scrolls, and potions. Even if we buy more high-level armor, it will still be the same. Our progress will be off the charts at any time. We’ll lose even more if we don’t spend all our money. Come on, let’s see how quickly you can get this done!”
Wang Wen had yet to reach the door.
Mo Ran snatched the map from one of the adjutants’ hands and turned into a black lightning bolt, smashing the door and leaving quickly.
The remaining people in the room were dumbfounded.
The commander asked Wang Wen in puzzlement, “Is your companion an orc soldier? He has such great strength!”
Wang Wen did not answer but asked instead, “Who’s the person in charge of the trap? Time is tight. Are you coming with us? If not, we will walk the terrain on our own. I might not finish the trap without your help.”
An adjutant by the door looked at the commander inquisitively.
The commander held the sand table with one hand and waved at him casually, saying, “Go.”
The adjutant nodded and left with Wang Wen and Zhu Xingguo.
Ren Ruoruo and Chen Hansheng followed him out of the room. Chen Hansheng pulled an adjutant and handed him a business card while chatting. He also showed him the correct way to use the business card, intentionally or not.
Even though the fuel card was a World Tower prop, it was still material.
If he could use it to exchange for some military combat materials, his business would be huge. If the World Tower recognized relics in there, he would immediately make a fortune.
Before that, Chen Hansheng rarely had the opportunity to talk to experts at the checkpoints. His group was short of elites. The few experts who had reached the 400th floor were brainless and would not take the initiative to explore more opportunities. They could not wait to complete the tasks.
That was a rare opportunity, and he burst out with high enthusiasm and energy.
After the tower climbers had all left the room.
One of the adjutants in the room went to find a craftsman to repair the door.
The rest of the staff gathered by the sand table and asked in a low voice, “Why does the commander trust those unknown strangers so much?”
The commander waved his hand and said with a chuckle, “It’s not really about trust; it’s just that we don’t push them away. At least we don’t have to chase away the people who volunteered to help before they show their destructive power, right?”
“Besides.” His gaze fell on the center of the sand table, and he gently tapped the area where the flags were most concentrated. “Whether it’s a trap or a flank, it’s a small matter as long as there are no problems on our main battlefield.”
All the adjutants finally nodded in unison and sincerely flattered him. “Sir, you were wise!”
After comforting his subordinates, the commander looked at Darbus and his daughter and asked, “Di Lu is here too. What do you plan to do next?”
Darbus shook his head and said, “Don’t take their jokes seriously. I’ll take care of the night elves. I’ll just have to trouble you to help get Di Lu settled. Don’t make me worry about her.”
“Of course, no problem,” the commander agreed readily.
Unexpectedly, the female mage hugged her father’s arm and begged, “I want to go to the battlefield.”
Darbus rubbed her hair lovingly; he comforted her, saying, “I’ll take you to the elven elders in a while and ask for some of their holy water and moonlight baptism. No matter what dirty water you drink, it will be completely wiped. You’re fine. Don’t make me worry, okay?”
The female mage asked worriedly, “Can it really be wiped clean?”
“Don’t worry. No one loves cleanliness more than the elves,” Darbus said. “They don’t even eat meat.”
The night progressed.
The two airships took off from the headquarters and headed in different directions to the battlefield.
The atmosphere in the two airships was utterly different.
Wang Wen apologetically said in the cabin, “Is it that far? I thought we could walk there. I didn’t think I’d have to trouble everyone to get up in the middle of the night and send us to the battlefield.”
On the other side, Mo Ran shouted angrily in the cabin, “So slow! Why don’t you leave me alone and let me run to the battlefield? It’s much faster than this thing!”
No matter what.
A few hours later, when the sky was filled with stars, Wang Wen and Mo Ran arrived at their respective destinations.
It was late at night, and the battlefield was still filled with flames.
In an environment of life and death, no one cared whether there was sun or six moons above their heads.
The night elves knew that night was the time when their combat power was the strongest.
On the other hand, the dark red creatures on the opposite side appeared tired and sleepy after eating and drinking their fill. Otherwise, they would always be restless.
Therefore, both sides were still fighting non-stop.
A towering rock wall was on the right side of the night elves’ defense base. All the enemies were attacking from the left front, which was the main battlefield. The enemies who slipped were most likely unable to grab any meat on the main battlefield; they were scattered soldiers who were so hungry that they ran around aimlessly.
That was also the reason why the night elves were able to hold on until then.
There were fewer enemies.
Furthermore, they were unorganized and undisciplined.
The night elves had never been afraid of anyone in a one-on-one fight.
Especially at night, their eyesight was much better than during the day. A soft layer of silver moonlight also covered their bodies. That layer of moonlight would make them more energetic, agile, and powerful, and their injuries would also recover faster.
Like the night elves in that stronghold, even though there were only about a hundred left, as long as the number of enemies was a hundred, no one would be able to charge in front of them alive.
However, that night was a little strange.
Except for the scattered soldiers that would appear from time to time.
The night elves had better vision than most people that night, so they could see what looked like layers and layers of moving black shadows gathering in the distance.
That discovery made them a little worried.
No matter how strong they were, their numbers were still their weakness. If a large number of enemies were organized and disciplined to launch a group attack, that stronghold would probably fall instantly.
That was strange.
Since the start of the war, no one had paid attention to that stronghold that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Would anything significant happen that night?
