Lord Era: I, The Strongest Lord Of The Abyss!

Just as Wu Wei had found a way to expand his war power,

Far away on the other side of the desert, an alliance against his expansion was also being formed.

However, unlike the unstoppable Wu Wei, Gu Changqing's "Alliance Operation" was not going smoothly.

————————

"What, you actually want me to join your alliance?"

Li Mengmeng stared wide-eyed at Gu Changqing, who had come to find her.

"Why, shouldn't I think of you first when there's such a good thing?"

Gu Changqing sat on a "stool" naturally grown from giant tree magic, drinking tea brewed with dew, and smiled at Li Mengmeng.

"After all, I am planning a war that will yield great gains."

"As long as you team up with me, then after we capture Wu Wei's current defense line, you can at least get a small town that originally belonged to the Dwarf Kingdom."

"Remember, you get an independent dwarf town, which has four mining areas and an original mushroom growing area."

"As long as you send out 30% of your current army, or send out an army of 2,000 people under my command, all of this will be yours."

"Aren't these conditions generous enough, Li Mengmeng, my..."

"Fiancée!"

Gu Changqing said with a smile, his face full of pride.

But upon hearing the word "fiancée," Li Mengmeng's face instantly turned ugly, and she even trembled unintentionally.

Obviously, this identity was a shackle for her, and also something she was unwilling to face.

.....

Li Mengmeng was silent.

But Gu Changqing was not in a hurry, but continued to stay in Li Mengmeng's lord hall, drinking hot tea.

After a long time, the silent Li Mengmeng finally spoke.

"I refuse!"

Contrary to what Gu Changqing thought, Li Mengmeng actually refused his request very simply.

"What did you say?!"

Gu Changqing slapped the table and glared at Li Mengmeng.

"I said I refuse!"

Li Mengmeng met his gaze without showing any weakness, and said loudly.

"Since this is an alliance you formed, what does it have to do with me?"

"If you want to fight against Wu Wei and snatch territory from him, then you can form your own army!"

"I am currently in a critical period of expansion, and I don't want to participate in any disputes at all."

"More importantly, my races are all druids and elves. These two major natural races will have significantly reduced combat effectiveness when fighting in tunnels, so I refuse to send troops."

Hearing this, Gu Changqing's face became even more ugly.

"Li Mengmeng, are you stupid?"

"I asked you to join my alliance, not really to contribute."

"I just want others to see that your Li family is on our Gu family's side."

"This is a public image project. You don't really think I value your mere thousands of soldiers, do you!"

"Or could it be that you have other ideas about the marriage between you and me? You want to rebel against me now, no, rebel against the Gu family?"

Faced with Gu Changqing's threat, Li Mengmeng glanced at him with disgust and said coldly.

"Our marriage will only be fulfilled in four years. Before that, you and I have nothing to do with each other."

"And...."

Suddenly, a slightly vicious idea appeared in Li Mengmeng's mind.

"Gu Changqing, if you need my help to deal with a mere Wu Wei,"

"Don't you think you'll be looked down upon for doing this?"

"A Wu Wei who failed in all subjects is making it difficult for you, the eldest son of the Gu family. How will you gain a foothold in the Lord Era in the future?"

Faced with Li Mengmeng's aggressive tactics, Gu Changqing was stunned.

Because he really didn't expect Li Mengmeng to say that.

"You don't understand, Wu Wei he...."

The words came to his lips, but Gu Changqing swallowed them back.

Indeed, Wu Wei's performance in school was really too poor.

With failing grades in all subjects, he couldn't be considered a strong enemy.

So, for a moment, Gu Changqing couldn't find a way to explain that the current Wu Wei was becoming stronger and stronger, so strong that he couldn't defeat him without allies.

At this time, he simply didn't know how to explain this problem to Li Mengmeng, because in his opinion, Li Mengmeng, who had never fought against Wu Wei, simply didn't know how terrifying Wu Wei was.

In fact, he didn't need to explain at all.

Because at this time, Li Mengmeng, who had already fought against Wu Wei, had already planned to have Wu Wei kill Gu Changqing for her.

"However, don't say that I'm not fulfilling the marriage agreement between us."

Li Mengmeng suddenly smiled and said to Gu Changqing.

"Although I won't send troops, that's because I'm also expanding in the forest, and I'm currently fighting with two small lord alliances."

"But Gu Changqing, if you really defeat Wu Wei and obtain his territories, then I will immediately discuss with my sisters and firmly stand on your side."

"At that time, not only will I send out my soldiers to join your allied forces, but I myself will directly join your alliance."

"More importantly..."

Li Mengmeng revealed a smile.

"My dear fiancé, I will also hand over the control of my territory to you at that time, and all the resources in it will be available for your use."

"Don't you want to prove yourself in this Lord Trial and get a higher ranking in the Lord Trial? Then you, who have all the resources in my territory, should be able to climb higher!"

"After all, that's my full support!"

Hearing this, Gu Changqing was stunned.

He didn't expect that the unreliable fiancée in front of him would suddenly become so obvious.

But he didn't think much about it and immediately agreed.

Because the temptation of the Lord Trial ranking was too great.

"Okay, then it's settled."

"Li Mengmeng, I hope you don't regret it then!"

Hearing Gu Changqing say this, Li Mengmeng laughed.

"Of course, I never regret it!"

Thinking of this, Gu Changqing left Li Mengmeng's territory with satisfaction, his blood boiling along the way, constantly thinking about how to defeat Wu Wei and the demon army he possessed.

However, he didn't see that after he left, Li Mengmeng's eyes were becoming incredibly cold.

"Please, Wu Wei."

"You will now be my only hope to get rid of the marriage."

Li Mengmeng said with disgust as she looked at Gu Changqing.

"And you, just wait to die."

"I have already prepared my gift for you, my dear..."

"Fiancé!"

An inconspicuous plant seed was stuck on the corner of Gu Changqing's clothes.

Li Mengmeng really had the intention to kill.

Although lords can be resurrected with resources in the Lord Trial, that's not absolute.

Moreover, isn't it normal for lords to fall in the Lord Era?
