75 Your Troops Have Become Mine
“Currently, the two Overlords are teleporting to the nearby area through a dimensional portal.”
‘The dimensional portal!’ Su Wan and Xu Yuan could understand from the information that the two Overlords were extremely far away. They had to open a dimensional portal to even get here!
If that was the case, Su Wan expected a lengthy battle this time. The opening and maintaining of a dimensional portal required numerous resources every second.
If Su Wan could keep them occupied, their resources would get exhausted. As a result, they would no longer be able to launch an expedition again.
“What’s the current situation? What troops do you have?” asked Su Wan.
The bull-headed Tauren trembled in front of Xu Yuan. “There’s the Tauren Army, Dwarven Army, and Half-elf Archers.”
“Dwarven Army?” Su Wan was now curious. As far as she knew, dwarves weren’t very strong in a fight. However, they were very efficient in building things.
“Y-yes!” said the Tauren. “The dwarves aren’t very strong in combat, but the Lords sent them here to build a stronghold here.”
Su Wan looked at Xu Yuan questioningly. She was asking him what to do with the Tauren. In the next moment, a shadow appeared under the Tauren’s feet, and he was dragged into the shadow.
In an instant, countless shadows turned into sharp blades and pierced through the Tauren’s body. The Tauren looked at them in disbelief. He hadn’t expected to be killed the moment he was no longer of use.
Su Wan looked at the dead Tauren. “Can we really turn them to our side?” she asked.
Xu Yuan nodded.
Under Su Wan’s expectant and curious gaze, the dead Tauren was surrounded by black mist and then resurrected.
“It succeeded!” Su Wan looked at the population section in her panel. It had increased by one.
At the same time, the Tauren troop type appeared in the column with other troop types. However, the Tauren troop type was grayed out. It meant that they couldn’t be created. Unlocked troop types could be created by consuming resources, However, since this Tauren hadn’t been unlocked through ordinary means, it was added to the population but couldn’t be created because technically the troop type hadn’t been unlocked yet.
“Great Lord, Tauren Warrior Miel pays his respects to you,” said the Tauren Warrior, appearing near Su Wan.
Su Wan nodded. “Xu Yuan, the ability of the Soul altar is pretty good.”
Xu Yuan thought so too. “Let’s take the dwarves!” said both Su Wan and Xu Yuan at the same time. This was the first time the Lord and the hero had the same thought.
“As expected, my hero has the same thoughts as me!” said Su Wan. She was very happy.
Xu Yuan didn’t say anything. He just wagged his tail and stared into the distance.
Both had their eyes on the dwarves. Dwarves were very efficient in creating weapons and armor, after all.
If they could get their hands on the Dwarven Army, the strength of their troops would be on another level.
“It just so happens that we have a spy here. We can trick the Dwarven Army!” said Su Wan.
With Xu Yuan’s help, the Taurens responsible for monitoring the city walls were all dragged into the territory’s shadows and killed. They were resurrected as Su Wan’s troop.
“Dwarves love wine,” said Su Wan. “If the Taurens tell them that the territory has lots of wine, they can be tricked into entering our territory.”
However, Xu Yuan shook his head. “We will need evidence to convince them. We need something real as bait.”
Su Wan hesitated. She, painstakingly, decided to spend a huge amount of money to buy a bottle of wine remotely. With that, the matter of buying Xu Yuan a bed had to be postponed.
After receiving the bottle of wine, Su Wan sent it with a Tauren spy.
The rest of the Tauren pretended to monitor the city walls, and one of them quietly went to the place where the dwarves had set up camp.
Xu Yuan and Su Wan weren’t disappointed. The dwarves’ love for wine was unquestionable. Moments after the Tauren had been gone, several dwarves sneaked into the territory for more wine. They wanted to launch a surprise attack.
The Tauren spy returned to Su Wan to report on his findings. “My Lord, after the dwarves learned that there was good wine in the territory, they broke the rules and sneaked in. They plan to steal the wine.”
The leader of the dwarves had ordered the troop to set up camp for logistic work. However, the bottle of wine had broken the dwarves’ resolve. They had even broken the bottle of wine, after drinking everything, to lick the remnants.
The dwarves couldn’t resist their love for wine and disobeyed their leader’s order to sneak into enemy territory. They didn’t intend to launch an attack. Doing so would alert their leader and their Lord, and they would be punished.
The dwarves only wanted to quietly sneak into Su Wan’s territory and steal more wine. They would then return to their camp and pretend that nothing had happened. This way, their leader wouldn’t be aware of their deception. On top of that, they would get to enjoy more wine!
“What a well-thought plan!” exclaimed Su Wan, as she listened to the Tauren’s explanation. She chuckled.
These dwarves were too idealistic. Even if she hadn’t planned for all this to happen, she had sentries posted at every corner of her territory. They would report to her if they found anyone lurking nearby.
“Since they’re here, don’t let them go back,” she ordered.
Su Wan and Xu Yuan returned to the cave. Shi Linglong had been watching the Dwarven Army from a distance. “That’s bad! Wanwan’s territory is under attack!”
Shi Linglong rushed to search for Su Wan. She saw Su Wan and Xu Yuan staring at the Dwarven Army in the distance and laughing.
‘Something is wrong!’ thought Shi Linglong. ‘What are they planning this time?’
