Chapter 2234: Chapter 2234: All the Traitors Have Arrived
Gathering these unruly fellows is no easy task, after all, Du You must ensure they don’t notice anything amiss. For this reason, Du You may have to sacrifice some of his own people.
Some of his Undead Creatures were sent out directly, but they were all tier-seven, with only two tier-eight.
There were also some tier-eight individuals under his control that were sent over.
These people were initially rebellious, forced into submission through various means. Because of the control, their demeanor was a bit unnatural, and their strength was not fully utilized.
Since they were difficult to use anyway, he simply decided to send them all over this time. Through different locations, these people focused on a single world. Then, they used the people under Du You’s control and the Undead Creatures to isolate it, creating diversions in between.
These people would definitely not realize any similarities between themselves and others, at least not in the short term.
Of course, this also required some of Du You’s Doppelgangers to play a role within. But to minimize losses, Du You used only ordinary Doppelgangers, the kind that could only be used to command in battles. There weren’t many of them, just enough to prevent them from being discovered too soon, anyway, these guys were sent to their doom.
At the start of the new month, this batch of people was sent over by Du You.
Because there were many recent surrenders and recruits, many people were sent over this time as well. To the others, it appeared as if this world was of great importance, intended as a stepping stone.
On Du You’s side, seeing so many people arriving made them feel quite at ease.
With so many powerful entities gathered, any initial burdens they had were lifted.
Nobody believed that Du You would send so many strong entities to their deaths, nor did they think there would be any problems with so many experts present. Therefore, everyone was relaxed, and the atmosphere was very lively.
In just three days, they discovered the center of the enemy’s territory and began advancing from different directions. Meanwhile, waves of soldiers were being sent over, all displaying a typical offensive posture.
"Ha-ha, you all are hiding here, hurry up and come out to greet your guests."
A sly-looking fellow shouted loudly. Though he appeared unreliable, he was actually a tier-eight initial-stage entity, and his aura was not there to deceive.
Upon hearing this, some strong entities from the enemy’s territory flew out, though their numbers were far fewer.
"You have indeed come, and I never expected so many traitors this time. Are you in a hurry to please your new master?"
So many traitors? Many looked around, seemingly realizing it was true, with many among them joining later. Although some faintly sensed something, before they could process it, someone spoke up.
"A wise man submits to circumstances. We don’t want to die, so of course, we joined. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being too weak to protect us and dragging us down. Why should we die for you?"
A person shouted loudly, recognized by many, as he was one of the earlier individuals to join Du You’s side.
As he said, during the fight against that mysterious force, the rear alliance indeed had many holding him back. Otherwise, he would not have failed so quickly or been forced to join.
Since he was well-known, his words carried weight, and many agreed aloud.
The person who originally spoke looked displeased because they were aware, and many had participated. They hadn’t anticipated that such a small force could be so strong or unified. They’d already expanded to such territory, it was almost impossible to continue expanding.
Moreover, if they did continue, many were thinking about joining them.
Thus, taking advantage of this opportunity to eliminate those they disliked was quite normal. Naturally, those closest to the border were the first to suffer and be oppressed.
"No matter what you say, our alliance must strive one last time. It’s a pity you’ve arrived in this world."
"Hmph, it’s just a tier-eight world. Here, even if tier-nine entities can fight, they wouldn’t come. Besides, your numbers are far less than ours."
Someone said disdainfully, judging by numbers and quality, it was far too easy to annihilate the enemy. They said so much merely to provoke the other side.
They were even appreciating and showcasing themselves. Internally, they believed their actions were correct, convincing themselves with these methods.
Once satisfied psychologically, eliminating the opponents was easy; it was a simple matter.
However, the other side was stalling, drawing out the conversation for a whole day.
As night fell, someone finally spoke, "It’s already late, let’s hurry and eliminate them. Once we defeat them, nothing will be able to stop us."
Upon hearing this, those who wanted to continue talking closed their mouths. Indeed, after so long, nothing had been discerned, and continuing felt dull.
"Do you want to start the battle? It’s a pity, time no longer belongs to you."
"What, you’re stalling? Ha-ha-ha-ha, whatever you’ve prepared, you can’t possibly be our match." The gap in numbers and strength was too great, whatever was prepared would be futile.
"Really, then let’s see about that." The people on the other side smirked coldly and activated the Void Traps.
Subsequently, a large-scale Magic Array affecting the entire world was also activated, enveloping the world in a barrier. Meanwhile, those who were speaking, their Divinity began to dim, becoming more and more illusory.
"I initially thought we’d have to hold you off for a while, and that we’d suffer some losses, but I never imagined you’d be this foolish. Goodbye to you all, or rather, never again." The other side waved and disappeared.
Even they hadn’t anticipated the plan to proceed this smoothly.
If it had been Du You’s main army, they would never have spoken so much. But this time, the leaders were traitors, who utilized verbal exchanges to tangle with opponents. Coupled with the preparations from previous days, everything was finally ready.
Now that the large-scale Array had been activated, they took the chance prepared beforehand to escape.
