#1083 - Chapter 1083: Ways to End the War
In the end, Wu Wei's orders were carried out.
Countless legions, following Wu Wei's commands, withdrew to their designated positions.
The original, already damaged defense line was directly abandoned.
And new lines of battle were rapidly established under Wu Wei's orders.
However,
Unlike the previous times,
This time, countless warriors, enlightened by their respective lords, understood the significance of their battle line.
Therefore, they no longer exhibited their previous laziness and fear, but wholeheartedly, to the best of their ability, worked to consolidate this defense line.
Because they knew.
If they were to lose their ground, the civilians behind them would become sacrifices in this war.
Even more terrifying was the fact that.
If...
That evil, red-eyed lord discovered even the slightest possibility of their battle line being lost, that damned, anti-human madman would definitely order the army to fire without hesitation, killing those civilians to prevent them from becoming prisoners of the Elven race, becoming nourishment for the World Tree.
Therefore...
"I cannot retreat, nor can I afford to!"
This belief, like wildfire, spread to the heart of every soldier on the battlefield.
Even.
This belief in fighting to the death also infected the armed civilians that Wu Wei had forcibly drafted into the army.
Supported by this belief, they directly reversed their previous fear of Wu Wei's harsh training, and no longer feared death, but actively participated in the battle line.
The reason was simple.
Their families were behind them.
Although their families were in the flesh and blood factories, producing fuel bullets and everything needed for the war like machines, at least they were still alive.
So...
These armed civilians no longer exhibited their previous cowardice, becoming true warriors.
"You didn't have to do that, Wu Wei."
After seeing all of this, Shi Xin found an opportunity to say to Wu Wei.
"Although I understand that your cruel words are meant to save more people."
"But you didn't have to say such cruel words."
"After all, even if these lords don't understand you, they are still lords."
"They still understand the principle that war requires sacrifices."
"Is that so?"
Wu Wei slowly turned his head, glancing at Shi Xin indifferently.
"Perhaps."
"But I don't care."
"Because right now, I just want to win this war."
"As for whether the words I say and the things I do are cruel."
"That has nothing to do with me."
"I just need to do my own thing."
Hearing this, Shi Xin sighed once again.
Sure enough, just as the rumors said, Wu Wei, the empire's well-known madman, was indeed an inhuman existence.
In his eyes, war was no different from a game.
He could use his warriors at any time to do the most cruel and ruthless things.
Thinking of this, Shi Xin looked at Wu Wei once again.
She was considering something.
However, just as Shi Xin was still pondering, Wu Wei suddenly turned his head and threw a report in front of Shi Xin.
"By the way, Your Highness Shi Xin, have you been idle recently?"
Before Shi Xin could speak, Wu Wei continued.
"If you've been idle recently, then you better help me deal with something?"
"What is it?"
Shi Xin asked in confusion.
Wu Wei opened the report and showed its contents to Shi Xin.
"I need you to help me find the thing in this report."
"If possible, I want to use this thing to get rid of the World Tree."
"Because I feel that this thing may be the key to this war."
Shi Xin looked at the report.
And after she finished reading the report, she was also stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted.
"This thing..."
"Perhaps it really can end this war!"
Originally.
The thing recorded in this report was a giant mechanical device.
And this giant device was called the Earth Destroyer Drill by the human empire.
Wu Wei wanted to use this drill to completely destroy the World Tree!
