Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 151: Using the Tactics of Others to Encircle and Attack the Enemy (1)
You can't be too "selfish". You should strive to eat the meat yourself, but you should also leave some soup for others. This is the "advice" Long Xingtian gave me before the "negotiation". After all, we are all members of the same alliance. There is no need to be too extreme. No matter how strong a person is, he can't fight all enemies alone. He still needs the help of others and leave some face so that we can meet again in the future. Because of this, when I got the benefits I wanted , I didn't hesitate to share some "exclusive resources" that only I have with Qiu Shui Changtian and others. Anyway, as time goes by, these may not be secrets anymore. I don't have the ability to monopolize them or it is difficult to "eat" them alone. It's better to do a favor and let them remember my benefits. I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes, but I always have to pay back the favors I owe. This is also the awareness that a professional player must have.
After discussion, an action plan was drawn up to kill the Witch King. The "scouts" such as the Devouring Ghosts of the "Witch Killing Union" were still wandering around the sky above the corpse witch territory, pretending to continue searching for the traces of the Witch King. This attracted their attention in the open, which in turn slowed down the speed of encroaching on my territory, so that I didn't have to waste time and energy on "encircling the land" - no matter whether they were large or small groups, or old, weak, sick or disabled, as long as they were corpse witches, they would rush to sign the contract, strive to make the area "pure", and all become my subordinates, so that the three witch kings would not have the opportunity to get involved. After being liberated, I can concentrate on subduing the Terror Bulls and the Earth Dragon Knights, and accumulate strength for the upcoming "Witch Killing Operation". After all, it is inconvenient to communicate in the "Dead Spirit Space", and it is safer to have more of my own men to protect me in the melee of millions of troops.
Xiaobai and the fifty-three ghost kings, based on my induction, secretly explored the hiding place of the first wizard king Titanic. This was not because I was partial and wanted to benefit myself first, but because we had not suffered any losses in the first battle after the alliance and were the strongest, so we naturally wanted to kill the first wizard king first. Although the three wizard kings forcibly cut off their spiritual connection with me, the fourth wizard king, the four wizard crowns were from the same lineage and there was still a trace of connection, which could not be completely cut off, especially when the three wizard kings contacted each other, the induction would be stronger . With my ability, although it was not enough to sense their specific location, the approximate area could be judged. As long as I commanded Xiaobai and the others to search carefully, and the three wizard kings did not deliberately guard against me, it should be possible to find their traces.
I went to subdue the Terror Bull and the Earth Dragon Knight, and speed up the renewal of the main combat arms. When I faced the Witch King, I guess I was the only one who dared to approach and fight him. I had to strengthen my strength as much as possible to reduce the risk factor. Qiu Shui Chang Tian, Tian Xing and Qing Wu Fei Yang, the three candidates who were to succeed the Witch King, entered my sphere of influence. Under my protection, they would not be attacked by the corpse witches. One Terror Knight would fight against one corpse witch, and then we would defeat them together to make them lose the ability to resist, and then we would be busy subduing them. In addition to Qing Wu Fei Yang, who was sure to receive the "Fourth Witch Crown" from me, in the melee , the other two Witch Kings might not necessarily be killed by Qiu Shui Chang Tian and Tian Xing themselves. Maybe they would have to go through someone else's hands. According to the regulations, the private transfer of the throne must meet certain conditions. Take my "Fourth Witch Crown" for example. Unless you kill me to obtain it, you must have at least more than 100,000 directly subordinate corpse witches to be qualified to succeed the Fourth Witch King. The requirements for the three wizard crowns above are definitely higher. The three of them do not have many corpse wizards under their command, so they naturally need to start working hard from now on, so as not to delay the time of the successor to the Wizard King.
Of course, the areas I have allocated to them are far from the "Blood Pool" and the areas I am temporarily unable to expand to. In fact, they are ownerless. I am doing them a favor now. When we are done and divide the territory in the future, they will naturally return it to me double. I will never suffer any loss. Anyway, the area near the "Blood Pool" is completely occupied by me. It can be said to be an iron plate. Even if they send their corpse wizards to infiltrate, they will be discovered and killed or expelled once they get close, and they will never be able to detect the truth.
After this period of recuperation, the blood lich Temur, who was seriously injured by the "First Embrace" for me, finally recovered. However, it could not rest and had to continue to fulfill its promise and perform the "First Embrace" on the vampire Count Saman, my most capable subordinate at present. He was already a powerful existence close to the eighth-level magic beast. If he could further improve his strength through "Blood Transformation", he would surely play a greater role at the critical moment. Unlike me, the undead wizard, after the "First Embrace", Saman began to dormant and transform. It took a period of time to change his physique and have the ability of "Blood Transformation". The poor Temur continued to recuperate and recover his vitality that was consumed in large quantities. Fortunately, the area around the "Blood Pool" was completely under my protection and would not be invaded by external forces. There was no blood wizard inside that could threaten it. It was safe and sound, and at most it would delay its own development a little.
There has also been progress in the "Hell Volcano". According to my instructions, Taotao and Guben have been searching and visiting. After soaking in the "Hell Magma Pool" this time, they finally found a relatively "qualified" undead creature, a volcanic mummy, who rarely shows up and acts in a low-key manner. They had a simple fight and tested it. Its strength is slightly inferior to Taotao, so it should be eligible to apply for the soaking challenge. As long as it is subdued, it can challenge the top eight volcanic undead creatures and strive to include twelve soaking places to accumulate enough strength to challenge the more powerful Hell Dragon. However, I am busy preparing for the battle with the Witch King and have no time to go there. I have to put it aside for the time being and wait until the battle is over before making plans.
After a patient and careful search, and by constantly adjusting their positions, Xiaobai and his companions finally found the trace of the First Witch King. However, at the same time, the "Witch Killing Union" also found the Third Witch King Beibeituo. It seemed "accidental", but after analysis, it seemed that he was still "intentionally" exposed, and it was very likely another trap. It seemed that the last plot was not fully accomplished, and the thieves were still unwilling to give up, and wanted to repeat the old trick to eliminate the enemy who kept harassing them.
