Third faction

"Yeah, not bad."

At this time, Shine, after Max Copper was finally beaten to death, gained control of the entire channel of the kingdom.

However, he did not rush to continue advancing, but instead began to clean up the battlefield. While sending out dozens of different demon teams to another passage to check the situation.

Furthermore, although not long after the dozen or so demon squads left, they encountered an enemy attack and died in the nearby passage.

But Shine still didn't react at all, just like a machine continuing to send out more and more squads, going to each place in the passage to check on the situation he had already grasped.

The reason why this is possible is determined by Shine's immediate situation.

Dwarven kingdom, or perhaps, the Dwarves underground kingdom is divided into two parts.

Among them, it is composed of various underground cities in the dwarven kingdom.

If we count these underground cities regardless of size, there are 7 in total.

Among them, there is a city specifically in charge of mining mines, a city in charge of growing mushrooms/food plants that hate light, and a forging city near the volcano.

They rely on the kingdom's channels to carry out trade and movement of materials with other cities.

In short, these things are small-sized in the city, much like some independent urban functional areas.

But among them, each has a medium number of dwarf army stationed there.

Even though it's small, it has a powerful single function.

And the other part of the dwarf king, is made up of a single city.

Dwarf capital!

A giant royal city with a population of hundreds of thousands of dwarves!

That's the reason right now, after taking control of the kingdom's passage, Shine did not continue to truly advance.

This huge city with hundreds of thousands of people not only has two armies that are equal to Max Copper's, but also has a king's guard.

Even though Shine successfully took over the passage, it was only temporary.

Because Max Copper's army fell so quickly, the news that their entire army was destroyed was just transmitted to the ears of the dwarf king.

Shine believes that with the opponent's army at such a large scale, he himself will not be able to defend the passage that he has just occupied.

Therefore, he judged that now was definitely not a good time to continue to advance.

But according to common sense, the most thing Shine should do is before the army arrives at the royal capital, as quickly as possible to occupy one or two dwarf cities, plundering it until not a single soul remains.

But if he did so, he would fall into another dangerous situation.

That is, once Shine sent out troops and was discovered by scouts, then the army within the royal capital would absolutely rush into the kingdom's passage without hesitation and reclaim the land they had lost.

Until then, Shine will be in a dilemma.

Not only will he not be able to take away the spoils of the city he defeated, a large part of the army is also about to die under the assault of the royal capital's army.

So Shine changed his strategy.

That was his preparation, so that the royal capital, and all the dwarves in the city, would all think that it was he who was preparing the next attack!

The only advantage he had now was that the opponent did not know, or perhaps, there was no way to accurately know the size of Shine's army.

As long as he keeps sending out small groups of soldiers, pretending to be scouts, to raid places. So he can at least for a very long period of time be "safe" from being attacked by the opponent!

The opponent was naturally wary of him, thinking that he was about to accumulate attacks, so Shine did not need to break this "wild statement" necessity.

He needs time!

"Or should I continue incubating more and more troops."

Shine looked at the map of the Heavenly Dao system, revealing a thoughtful expression.

This is an unavoidable matter.

Despite the army's numbers, sometimes it's not all.

But in front of absolute quantity, everything has lost its meaning.

As a new lord, Shine was able to completely destroy an entire dwarven army so quickly. It was an extremely powerful achievement.

But this is far from enough.

Because the Endless Abyss is considered a living war machine, there is no way to stop it.

Stopping immediately means death.

Shine must think of a way to maintain this machine to the best of its ability.

No matter what method is used....

————————————

But on another side.

In the dwarf capital.

Facing Shine's evil progress, the dwarf king is also thinking about countermeasures.

But it's different from Shine.

Shine has a spy in the Dwarves. He has a clear understanding of the Dwarven Kingdom and even the Dwarf capital internally.

But what about the dwarf king here?

?

Sorry.

He could almost be said to know absolutely nothing about Shine's actual situation.

Anyway, Shine's attack speed is really too fast.

He was like a ghost coming out of the darkness. Without any reason, he began to attack the dwarven kingdom, and then without any discernment of right or wrong, destroyed Max Copper's army.

This evil monster did not carry out any sense of "diplomacy" with the dwarves, nor did it express their demands in any way.

Whether it's food or supplies, Shine has never made a single request to the dwarves.

In the past, when the dwarven kingdom and other forces had conflicts, there were all kinds of reasons, at or without good reasons.

But in short, they have a reason to have conflicts with other forces.

But Shine is different.

He acted as if his sole purpose was to go to the dwarven kingdom to massacre and slaughter.

Faced with such an enemy, whether it was the dwarf king or the dwarf king's servants, they still had an incomprehensible face.

No one knows what this enemy really wants.

Therefore, everyone in the royal palace is feeling restrained because of Shine's arrival.

The group of angry servants in front of the dwarf king appeared speechless, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Everyone was afraid that His Majesty the King would ask them how they should solve the predicament at hand.

But each of them cannot decide for sure.

In the end, is it a proactive attack to take back the kingdom's passage, or is it to guard the royal capital and observe the situation?

Everyone's mindset is different.

"Your Majesty!"

"I have a solution!"

"Perhaps this measure can help us recover the land we lost as quickly as possible."

However, right when all the servants and even the king were silent because of the mysterious and unpredictable Shine.

A dwarf minister specifically in charge of trading, took the initiative to speak.

Hearing him speak first, the servants and king present were both surprised.

But when this minister actually informed everyone of his intentions, including His Majesty the King, everyone was basically stunned.

Because this minister of trade brought a proposal to establish an alliance!

And the target of his Statue Alliance is a...

Foreign lord!

A new force is about to join the war between the abyss and the dwarves.
