Lord Survival: My Shelter in Crocodile Territory - Chapter 429
c429 Balance everywhere
Wang Shuo pretended to be confused, frowned and asked: “Oh? I wonder what the Lord of Sunset City wants? As long as I can help, I will do my best.”
“Lord Wang Shuo must be clear about the current situation, right?”
Before Lord Sunset City finished speaking, Wang Shuo interrupted and said: “Please Lord Sunset City, please tell me in detail.”
Wang Shuo didn’t want to pretend to be big. Wang Shuo certainly didn’t know as much about the forces near Tiexue Ridge as the two old hands.
Dongfang Ke smiled and said: “Lord Wang is new here and doesn’t understand the situation, which is normal. Then let me tell Lord Wang about it.”
“Lord Tiexue Liu Hong, Lord Sunset and I were originally in the same group of novice trials. After we joined forces to defeat the invaders, the three of us fell into internal strife.”
Wang Shuo’s eyebrows were raised, and he was surprised.
“The force that attacked us was an empire to our west, but now that empire has collapsed and is in endless civil strife. For some reasons, we cannot annex its territory for the time being.”
“Then there is the Monster Empire to the west. They also have their own enemies and have not attacked us in large numbers for many years. Liu Hong even formed an alliance with them.”
“But you have seen the result. Forming an alliance with the demon clan is tantamount to playing with fire.”
“Recently, we got news that the Demon King is about to break through.”
“Once the Demon King breaks through to the strongest king, I am afraid that no one in the Iron Blood Ridge will be his opponent. The demon clan has entered the countdown to destroy us.”
Dongfang Ke was a little discouraged, with a helpless expression on his face.
Wang Shuo also realized at this time that the situation did not seem optimistic.
“May I ask what is the strength of the Roland Empire to the west of the demon beast?”
Dongfang Ke’s eyes were stern, and he was surprised. He did not expect that this king lord knew the Roland Empire in such a short time. It really should not be underestimated!
“The Roland Empire is naturally an old empire. The one who has been stationed at the frontier of the demon clan for a long time is a high-level warrior, whose strength is infinitely close to that of the God of War.”
“It is precisely because of his existence that the Demon King cannot attack the Roland Empire.”
“In other words, the Demon King is competing with that high-level warrior to see who can break through to the God of War or the Strongest King first?” Wang Shuo asked.
“That’s about right!”
The God of War and the Strongest King are at the same level, and both can dominate one side.
Wang Shuo’s expression was wonderful, and this world was becoming more and more interesting.
It was really one level suppressing another, and balance was being constructed everywhere. Once the balance was broken, it would inevitably face a reshuffle.
“That is to say, before the Demon King and the high-level general break through, we should also be in relative peace?”
Wang Zhu’s mouth twitched: “Lord Wang, what you said seems to be right.”
“Whether they break through first, shouldn’t they fight each other?”
Wang Zhu’s eyes changed: “That makes sense.”
“Then why are we worrying about nothing!”
“Anyway, we are just the leftovers that others pick up after the fight. Not even a dish.”
“Instead of discussing here, it is better to improve our own strength.”
Wang Shuo understood the so-called situation.
But the superficial work that should be done still needs to be done.
In order not to lose face for the two city lords, Wang Shuo still tried his best to guarantee that he would advance and retreat with the two.
In order to get Wang Shuo to join, Dongfang Ke and Wang Zhu took the initiative to ask Wang Shuo to send troops to Tiexue City and were willing to give up some of their interests, but Wang Shuo refused.
