Era of the transmigrating earth-Chapter 2108: The Outbreak of War and the Drip-Feeding Tactics

"We can’t keep delaying, let’s find an excuse to start fighting."

Finally, the Sunset Empire couldn’t take it anymore, so they found an excuse. Of course, this so-called excuse seemed too crude to Du You, as they started a shouting match on the battlefield.

As the verbal battle escalated, eventually Elemental Lords got involved, and when they couldn’t hold back, the war began. This so-called war truly opened Du You’s eyes.

"These guys, if you clearly can’t use strategy, then don’t. What’s even going on here?" Du You said, somewhat speechlessly.

The Elemental Lords from the other side seemed to be provoked and all rushed out at once, more than thirty of them. And our side’s Elemental Lords were not to be outdone, immediately soaring into the sky to fight these guys.

When the Elemental Lords started fighting, the troops below wouldn’t follow, they immediately turned and moved away from the battlefield, then continuously beat gongs and drums, cheering for our experts, and that was it.

"Is this the so-called salted fish that can only chant 666?" Du You looked at this so-called war method speechlessly.

Well, although for high-level combat, these low-level combatants indeed don’t have much effect, but they could do many things. It’s not just about dealing with experts; they also have territories to contend for amongst themselves. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

If it were on Earth, even low-level people need to go to the battlefield—not just for resource gathering but also to improve their strength through combat in some cultivation-dependent subsidiary worlds.

These individuals, if stimulated by combat, might also improve their strength faster and produce more Elemental Lords in the future.

Of course, it’s also possible they’re doing it intentionally, after all, Elemental Lords can’t be killed in this world. An increasing number of Elemental Lords could possibly lead to an undesirable outcome.

So on one hand, they want more Elemental Lords from their country, and on the other hand, they might subconsciously control the numbers, which is very possible too. Well, what does this have to do with me?

As long as those who are sealed are found, that’s enough; there are quite a few of them.

Du You even suspected whether those sealed guys were the seventh-tier strongmen from before the last world cycle. Because they inherently possess a certain reality, they might have been preserved.

If those guys were all wiped out, it might not necessarily be completely beneficial for the world’s development.

Forget it, if these things are unclear to figure out, especially since I haven’t reached that level, nor have I studied the evolution of the world, let’s not bother with it for now, Du You thought silently.

The battlefield’s central battle had completely erupted; those Elemental Lords won’t spare anyone else. Since they’re fighting, let’s have a good fight. The terrain outside kept changing as these people fought. The walls built at the border positions seemed like paper, directly smashed to pieces.

Fortunately, building walls in this world is very simple; just use some guys who cultivate the Earth Element to build them, very simple.

Moreover, the so-called walls are merely a boundary; when it comes to actual fighting, these things aren’t very useful.

The great battle erupted, and neither side could overcome the other. After three days of fighting, everyone withdrew.

Then, when the upper class of the Sunset Empire learned about it, their expressions became somewhat unpleasant. Now, all the major countries are watching, and to be on par with a nascent empire is simply an insult.

"Keep sending in people; make sure to take them down. Let’s send over three, no, five this time."

The king gave the order, and five Elemental Lords arrived at the battlefield. But what they didn’t expect was that when the war started, the opposing side also added four Elemental Lords, including one mutated one.

So, again, both sides were evenly matched. After fighting for several days, neither could overpower the other, and then both sides agreed to a truce.

After that, the Sunset Empire continued to add reinforcements, and so did this side. Maybe others didn’t see it, but Du You noticed this was a strategy of gradual troop increase, silently dragging the opponent into a whirlpool. By the time they realized it, it might be too late.

And that’s what the two sisters wanted to do: gradually mobilize all the experts of the Sunset Empire, so that they could act when the time comes. Now, it’s just a preparatory process.

In the opponent’s eyes, it’s a great war; on our side, it’s merely preparation. The difference in perception is clear.

As for any other conspiracies by the opponent, Du You simply couldn’t believe it. People in this world are quite single-minded. Other than absolute combat strength, they don’t consider much else.

People from other countries were watching with amusement. "This nascent empire is quite strong, able to mobilize so many Elemental Lords, really increasing in numbers."

"According to the data, they didn’t have so many experts; it must be some guys from ancient times who were sealed. It seems that kid really has a way to make those sealed people follow him. I wonder what method he’s using."

"Hmph, what else could it be but temptation? Those guys can’t be killed; if it’s not temptation, what other method could there be? If they could really be eliminated, they would’ve surrendered long ago. It’s just that we don’t know what means they used to get those tough guys to join them."

Exactly, any Elemental Lord that’s sealed for a long time without release is tough to deal with. If they were willing to surrender, they would have been released already. They had also considered recruiting those sealed guys.

But what method could persuade so many Elemental Lords to defect? It’s quite puzzling.

"No matter what, once it’s over, let’s go check it out together. This kind of Secret Method can’t be in the hands of just one country. Otherwise, wouldn’t we be on edge all the time?"

"Of course, it might be a method only that kid can use. Even so, we must figure it out first."

Some even consider whether this method could benefit themselves, and if so, that would be great. Without joining, just use it to enhance their strength, break through their limits, and elevate their status.

These countries are observing and have no intention of acting for now. In their view, to deal with an empire, let another empire do it. If they act too, it wouldn’t be giving them face, let’s just watch and see first.
