Final Lord

Chapter 134 Enemies Meet
"General! I am just a businessman who stumbled into this place. You can take my gold, my goods, everything I have, but I only ask that you spare my life."

"Haha." Wang Bufu laughed. "Look at what you're saying, old man. If I kill you, won't all these be mine?"

Gah!
The trade tycoon's eyes rolled back and he almost fainted.

"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you. You're not going to take it any longer." Wang Bufu patted the trade tycoon's shoulder and asked:
"Old man, this place is so dangerous, why did you come here to do business?"

"It's all for those few gold coins." The trade tycoon sighed and started chatting with Wang Bufu.

"Ever since our Star Empire started fighting the Hell Zerg, the front lines have been short of everything.

Selling some supplies from the rear to the front lines where supplies are scarce can make a fifteen-fold profit.

The Star Empire... Hell Zerg...

Wang Bufu immediately understood the background of this battlefield. It seemed that this battlefield was not generated by the Tower of War God from nothing, but a small fragment captured by the Tower of War God from the memory bricks of past wars.

From 8832 to 8835, the Hell Zerg invaded the Star Empire and the war lasted for three years.

In this battle, four legends of the Star Empire died, and six mistresses of the Hell Zerg died, which created a deep blood feud between humans and the Hell Zerg.

The end result was a lose-lose situation. The Hell Zerg population was halved, unable to invade, and became vassals of the Abyssal Hell Clan.

The Star Empire fell from the first place among the five great human empires to the fourth, and it has not recovered until now, 8878 years later.

Now should be the most intense period of fighting on the front lines between the two sides, that is, mid-8834.

The Star Empire's huge supply lines could not keep up with the consumption rate on the front line due to the elusive harassment of the Hell Zerg, so it had to open up a gap and let the empire's merchants risk their lives to help with transportation.

Wang Bufu then asked, "Old man, where is this place? Where are you going to transport the goods?"

"Where is this place...eh?" The Trade Tycoon tapped his head. "Where is this place? I should remember it, but why can't I remember it?"

Wang Bufu saw this and understood what was happening. This meant that the battlefield was not large enough to allow the soldiers of the Star Empire and the Hell Zerg to come into contact with him.

These humans should be the compensation arranged by the war trial for the terrain disadvantage.

He immediately stopped her, saying, "If you can't remember, forget it. There are many Hell Zerg here. Bring your troops and surrender to me. I will protect you until you leave."

“Surrender…this…” Perhaps because the king was dissatisfied with the large number of hellish troops around him, the trade tycoon was obviously hesitant.

Wang Bufu gave him a gloomy look. "If you don't want to surrender, I won't kill you. But I won't care about your safety."

"No! I surrender!" The trade tycoon immediately lowered his head without any hesitation.

[All 828 human units admire you and request to join your team. Do you agree? ]

"agree!"

Mercenary Archers and Mercenary Swordsmen, both worshippers of the God of Commerce, perfectly align with the Church of Wealth's relentless pursuit of wealth. Money can conquer all, but without it, you can't even move a step. Besides these combat troops, over 500 support workers and a vast supply of supplies also represent a significant gain.

This means that if the king is dissatisfied, he can even build a territory in the war trial and fight a protracted war with the unknown enemy.

Of course, there is no need for this now.

It’s not that Wang Bufu felt that he would definitely win, but he felt that this was just an ordinary war trial and there was no need to delay it for so long.

……

Shortly after Wang Bufu took over the human troops, Kelly happened to bring her lava bee troops to the mountainside, only ten kilometers away from Wang Bufu's troops.

Her compound eyes could even vaguely see the harpies circling and conducting reconnaissance in the distant sky!

The intuition brought by her talent told her that it was her enemy's troops!

Just when she was ecstatic and thought she could catch the other party off guard, her talent suddenly emerged.

[Enemy Commander Race: Human

Enemy Commander Rank: Extraordinary 1

Number of enemy units: 2289
The enemy's military strength is slightly better than yours.

Battle simulation result: We are badly defeated, flee quickly.]

How much... how much?
Kelly looked at the information on the compound eye and his butt shook in horror.

More than 2,000 troops?
Less than four hours had passed since entering the battlefield. Even the Undead, known for their sea of ​​undead, would have found it difficult to muster a force of this size. How had he, a mere human, managed to do this?
Kelly felt a chill in her heart as she looked at the glaring words "slightly better." She looked behind her. She was surrounded by nearly two hundred hunting demon bees and forty poisonous bee guards.

Her talent indicated that the enemy had slightly more troops than hers. This meant that if the two armies fought hard without a commander and neither side tried to flee, some of her own troops would still be left after the enemy's troops were killed.

Since the enemy's troops were able to defeat their own lava bee swarm, it meant that those troops could not be just skeletons, zombies, or other miscellaneous soldiers that only had numbers.

"But how is this possible? What kind of profession and talent could allow one to amass such a powerful and massive army in such a short period of time?"

Kelly gritted her teeth and quickly retreated with her troops. She finally realized that her tactical preparations, which she thought were foolproof, were too conservative.

Time wasn't on her side at all; the enemy was time's ally! Perhaps at the beginning of the battle, when there was still a huge gap in strength between the two sides, directly searching for the enemy was the correct path to victory.

But now it's too late to realize this...

Do not!
It's not too late! I still have a way to turn the tables!

Kelly stared at the sky from a distance and did not charge rashly. Instead, he led his troops to retreat quickly.

……

"My Lord, they have retreated."

Listening to the report from the caveman in the distance, Wang Bufu raised his eyebrows with interest.

It was interesting that, despite being such a belligerent race, the other side didn't attack directly. If they had been more reckless, the outcome would have been decided by now.

Never mind. Anyway, the main purpose of my conducting the war trial this time is to let the troops experience the effect of the advancement first, so it’s also good to delay it for a while.

Wang Bufu smiled and shook his head.

Cats and harpies need to sleep, but cavemen don't. They take turns eating dinner and can serve as sentries while restoring their ammunition.

Underground, with him as the center, there are dense underground poisonous assassins. Each underground poisonous assassin is distributed at each node, keeping a distance of 100-120 meters from each other, forming a dense spider web.

Kelly thought she had the upper hand, but she didn't know that she had already stepped into the trap set by Wang Bufu, and her every move was clearly seen by Wang Bufu.

Wang Bufu casually picked up a black rock and threw it into the magma fire. Under the heat of the magma, the black rock slowly melted into liquid, revealing a fluid core with a temperature of over a thousand degrees, further increasing the brightness of the fire.
