#487 - Chapter 487 We and Me
"W-What did you say?!"
Unsurprisingly, after Wu Wei said those words, the surrounding lords who were with him were all exceptionally furious.
They truly didn't expect that the commander they were following would be so... utterly awful!
"Are you kidding me, Wu Wei?!"
"You are currently commanding our armies!"
"Under these circumstances, you're still focusing your energy on other battlefields? Don't you think you're going too far?"
Faced with everyone's accusations, Wu Wei was, quite unusually, embarrassed.
But this so-called embarrassment only lasted for two or three seconds.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"My dear passersby A, B, C, and D, please cease your accusations."
"Because I need to defend myself."
Wu Wei smiled and said to the crowd.
"First of all!"
"I don't think your armies being slaughtered is my fault..."
At this moment, Wu Wei had already seen everything that was happening in the distance through his War Vision ability.
From the previous siege operations to the current Night King's guard.
"Because real war is just like this."
Wu Wei shrugged his shoulders and said calmly to all the surrounding lords.
Then, he continued to add in an extremely cold tone.
"It's certain that the enemy has trump cards."
"Even if their trump cards aren't these steel monsters, they'll definitely have other means. In short, they will definitely have trump cards."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to break away from the Empire in this way, would they?"
"So, with the enemy possessing trump cards, our warriors would have been caught off guard sooner or later."
"If not this time, then the next!"
"And most importantly."
"We forced out their trump cards so early, shouldn't that be considered a very fortunate thing?"
"Ask yourselves."
"If—remember, I said if!"
"If we only learned of the enemy's trump cards just before our impending victory, then our losses would be much higher than this time, wouldn't they?"
Looking at Wu Wei's serious and earnest expression, the surrounding lords all calmed down.
Because after thinking about it carefully, they realized that what Wu Wei said was actually true...
"Then what should we do now?"
"We?"
Wu Wei couldn't help but sneer when he heard this word.
"No, no, no."
"You used the wrong word."
"There is no 'we.'"
"There is only 'I'!"
"You should be asking, what should I do!"
————————————
At the same time, on the other side....
"Hahaha, kill them all, kill them all!"
On the massive city walls, Lord Zhou Li watched the Wu Wei warriors being slaughtered below and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She excitedly held her husband Zhang Yang's hand, while frantically zooming in on the scene in front of her, trying to let Zhang Yang see more clearly.
"These Empire dogs are definitely no match for us!"
"Just a hundred Night King's guards, whose strength is comparable to Legendaries, have already routed them."
"If the Night King were to come in person, wouldn't these ants collapse directly?"
Hearing his wife's excitement, Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh.
He knew very well.
Among the people around him, his wife Zhou Li hated the Empire the most.
At the same time, her background was the most tragic.
In many ways, the Human Empire did owe Zhou Li a lot.
So, thinking of this, Zhang Yang couldn't help but hold his wife's hand and said gently.
"You're right, dear."
"The Human Empire is just this vulnerable."
"Weak and humble, they are just good at infighting!"
And Zhou Li was delighted to see her husband support her point of view.
"That's right!"
"What is so-called Human superiority, what bullshit great Human ideals, all of this is just the Human Empire's lies to fool the lower classes!"
Speaking of this, the hatred in Zhou Li's eyes could no longer be concealed.
"And these so-called lies, these bullshit narratives, are essentially all serving one thing!"
"The upper echelons of the Human Empire are using this public opinion to brainwash us citizens at the bottom!"
"Under their brainwashing, we, the lower-class citizens, are blindly filled with hatred for the alien races, regarding them as enemies of the Empire!"
"But in reality, the reality is not like this at all!"
"Because...."
Although Zhou Li became more and more excited as she spoke, and more and more immersed.
But at this moment, her husband, who was next to her, stopped her, interrupting her impassioned speech...
"Dear, the battle below seems a little strange."
"Why is there a black sun appearing in our world?"
