Chapter 1393: Chapter 1393

The war continued, but the outcome was not unexpected to Du You. When one side is in absolute advantage, the lower-ranked can only protest as they dare not do anything that might seriously threaten themselves.

The two empires are now just waving flags and shouting, but will not join the war.

As for the upper class of the Dark Empire, they certainly would not offer refuge. Just as Du You thought, the upper class of the Dark Empire are all cyborgs, extremely evil, who knows what problems would arise if they were taken in.

Whoever took them in would be responsible later. Moreover, the Secret Method for modifying these cyborgs, once slightly cultivated, could easily spread, and they wouldn’t want their own empire to become a world filled with cyborgs.

Although without the help of the upper class, these cyborgs could not possibly overthrow the rule of the empire, once spread, they would become an irksome skin disease that could not be resolved at all.

As for such protests, Du You did not care at all—the military actions on the part of the Dark Empire were going very smoothly, and gradually the entire territory of the Dark Empire was within their reach.

But the cyborgs hidden inside the Dark Empire were too numerous, and even with some special items provided by Du You, it wouldn’t be possible to clear them all out in a short time.

According to Shaliya’s calculations, to completely clean up the empire of these tumors would take at least several years.

The subsequent battles were already determined, the enemy had two tier-six powerhouses who had fled. Du You could only secretly send people out to chase them while the frontal army continued to advance, controlling the entire Dark Empire was just a matter of time.

"During this period, the Quicksand Empire has been very active, frequently attacking us."

"What’s the use of that, the Quicksand Empire has only one tier-six, at most count it as two, what’s the point." Du You said unconcernedly.

Shaliya rolled her eyes: "But it’s not a solution for them to keep popping out , attacking once and leaving. Many of our troops are annoyed, and the losses are not small. There have already been many applications to move deeper into the desert."

"Moving into the desert, hit and run? Are they engaging in guerrilla warfare? Wait, show me the data, this feels so strange." Du You said somewhat surprised.

"You feel it too, it is actually as you say, after our research, we unanimously believe that the Sandpeople are trying to lure the snake out of its hole. Their purpose of attack is actually very clear, it’s to draw us into the interior of the Quicksand Empire."

Looking at the data, listening to Shaliya say this, Du You also had an idea. Since Shaliya thinks so, it’s likely the case. Looking at the data, Du You laughed: "The Quicksand Empire really never plays cunning tricks, so naive, so many loopholes. If other empires were doing this, it definitely wouldn’t turn out this way."

The strategy of the Quicksand Empire has always been simple, just Sand people cannon fodder rushing forward followed by the elite. Always attacking and attacking, even if there are tactical changes, it’s for the sake of attacking.

And this time, hitting and then provoking just to run away, just like kids playing around.

Those lower-tier soldiers, seeing less, might not understand, but on Shaliya’s side, just integrating the information would make it easy to distinguish.

"According to our analysis, they must have set some traps inside the Quicksand Empire. Of course, it’s also possible that the Desert Death God might take action, just due to some reasons, he can’t leave the depths of the desert."

Du You nodded his head, regardless of the final reason, the Quicksand Empire’s intentions, they definitely cannot go along with them.

Actually, if it were an ordinary army, they might have succeeded by now. But Du You is different, he has absolute control over his own army, he issued an order not to delve deep into the desert, and the soldiers would do it without hesitation.

And these soldiers being able to do so, ordinary armies composed of ordinary people could only hold back their ideas. Therefore, although there are continuous reports requesting to go deeper, as long as Du You does not speak, these people will not be able to get permission for a day.

"Let them all wait, since we know there’s an issue with the Quicksand Empire, why bother with so much, first control the Dark Empire, just the Dark Empire alone is enough for them to be busy for over ten years, why bother with so much!"

Shaliya said irritably: "Everyone knows that, but the problem is that going on will affect the morale. Our own army is fine, but now the majority of the ordinary armies in the empire are not composed of our vassals."

To develop an empire, it’s impossible to use only one’s own vassals, this Du You knows, Shaliya knows too. Therefore, as early as during the Shenghai Kingdom era, there were already many ordinary people forming armies.

"Yeah, we can’t affect the morale, how about this, send out elite small-scale raid teams. Require strong power, fast speed, and those who can cause widespread damage are the best. Hereafter, hide on the border, as soon as we spot people from the Quicksand Empire coming out, we’ll eliminate them."

Du You’s idea, Shaliya thought about it and found it good, then went to implement it.

They didn’t care here, but inside the Quicksand Empire, it was not the same. The King of Quicksand and the Great Priest of the Sandpeople stood together, looking northward, as if they had turned into Wife-waiting Rock, that resentful look made one’s skin crawl.

"It’s been so long, haven’t they been lured over yet? If it goes on , we’ll be in trouble."

Beside him, the Great Priest felt even more helpless. The King of Quicksand was just unlucky, but for him, it was a matter of life and death.

"There’s no way, humans are too cunning." What else could the High Priest say.

"This can’t go on, once they clean up the Dark Empire, next it will be us, we can’t put all our hopes on him. Humans kill monsters, and they will similarly slaughter us Sandpeople."

Thinking it over, the King of Quicksand suddenly raised his head and said, "Control a group of refugees, let them go to Shenghai Kingdom, join them."

"What! Are you crazy, are you sending them slaves?" The Great Priest immediately objected.

"I’ll take responsibility for this matter, being slaves is better than being dead. If we win this time, we can bring them back later, and if we fail, they can continue our race, so we won’t face extinction. You usually don’t mind them being treated as less than human, do you." The King of Quicksand looked at the Great Priest, himself thinking the same.

"It’s our tradition, isn’t it, respect to the strong, if you want to be treated as people, then first improve your own strength. Alright, since you’ve already decided, let’s do it your way."
