#1248 - Chapter 1248 Reinforcements and Obstruction
“Something’s not right.”
As Wu Wei refocused his main energy on the war within the Imperial City, he keenly sensed that the current battlefield situation seemed somewhat off.
Because Wu Wei discovered that while the outer rebel defenses were collapsing rapidly under the assault of the princes and princesses' private armies, the problem was:
Until now, Wu Wei had not seen a single warrior enter the so-called Royal Palace battlefield to aid the seemingly precarious Royal Palace front.
Of course.
Since the Royal Palace front only appeared to be in imminent danger and wasn't genuinely so.
Therefore, Wu Wei believed that the Royal Palace front might not actually need real support at this time.
However, Wu Wei, with his rich war experience and keen insight, still adhered to his conjecture.
That is, there must be some unknown conspiracy unfolding outside this battlefield.
——————————————
“Oh?”
“Another batch of reinforcements?”
Just as Wu Wei was pondering what these princes and princesses were plotting.
An informant Wu Wei had left outside suddenly transmitted a new piece of intelligence to him.
The specific content of this intelligence was that the Ironblood Duke's family army had begun to break through the original rebel defenses and was attempting to establish its own teleportation portal.
Seeing this, Wu Wei immediately became curious.
So, he ordered his informant to advance towards the Ironblood Duke's army, trying to find any useful intelligence.
Oh, right, a side note.
Wu Wei's so-called informant was not a scout but a new type of undead beetle created by the Undead Monarch, Delu.
This new type of undead beetle was created by the Undead Monarch to meet Wu Wei's current war needs and was no longer the kind that Wu Wei could easily detect.
Its biggest feature and modification was that Wu Wei used the blessing from the Endless Abyss to corrupt the beetle's shell and imbue it with some sin matter, allowing it to accommodate and carry Wu Wei's vision.
After it became capable of carrying Wu Wei's vision, this beetle's perspective was actually equivalent to half of Wu Wei's eyes.
As long as Wu Wei activated his Vision of War, this beetle could see the enemy's every move clearly from a great distance, using the datafication ability of the Vision of War.
Even more exaggerated was that this undead beetle, with Wu Wei's modification, could directly penetrate most obstacles.
This ability, combined with its uniquely small size, successfully gave it advantages that no other scout could match.
So, many battlefields now are virtually “one-way transparent” to Wu Wei.
———————————
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
As the beetle slowly approached, the Ironblood Duke's army camp's every move began to be spied upon by Wu Wei.
Moreover, with Wu Wei activating his Vision of War, any secrets of this army began to be swept into Wu Wei's eyes one by one.
Because of this, Wu Wei discovered a very peculiar point.
That is, in the Ironblood Duke's camp, there were quite a few envoys seemingly waiting for the Ironblood Duke's reply.
“What’s the situation?”
Initially, Wu Wei didn't pay much attention to these so-called envoys.
After all, it is common for a camp to have envoys from other forces during a war.
Whether the two sides are communicating or surrendering, they need each other's envoys to smoothly convey their intentions.
So, the envoys themselves were nothing unusual.
Otherwise, why would so many people say that war serves politics?
But the problem lies in one point.
“No.”
“There seem to be too many of these envoys!”
Wu Wei frowned.
At first, he thought that many of these envoys belonged to one envoy group.
However, as Wu Wei continued to observe, he discovered that these envoys belonged to different forces.
And their purposes were basically similar.
That is, their masters behind them were all trying to persuade the Ironblood Duke not to send his army to the real Royal City battlefield.
Such a bizarre situation naturally aroused Wu Wei's curiosity.
Because...
These envoys were almost all envoys of the various princes and princesses.
“Interesting!”
“Not only are these princes and princesses hesitant to protect their father, but they are also preventing others from entering the Royal Palace.”
Just as Wu Wei was observing all this with interest, the Ironblood Duke walked out of the camp.
And in his hand.
Was a head!
