Chapter 110 – The Ogre Siege

The Platform Positioning Card was provided by Yun Feifei, and there was still one more after using this one.

In his previous life, Xiao Wuwang had vaguely known that there were some forces specifically targeting geniuses from China, either recruiting them or eliminating them entirely.

He estimated that breaking records continuously had likely drawn the attention of many forces, and the attack by the black-clad man yesterday would not be the last.

The other side was wealthy, powerful, and deeply entrenched, making it difficult to predict what methods they might employ.

In the wilderness, it was difficult for them to infiltrate, and the opponents they sent down would not be too strong or too numerous, making them somewhat easier to deal with.

But the Platform World was different. As long as they locked onto the Platform World, they could send people down without expending too much effort.

For now, Xiao Wuwang did not want to confront those people in the Platform World.

The three of them had just formed an alliance and needed time to develop.

Therefore, even at the cost of using these two Platform Positioning Cards, Xiao Wuwang wanted to buy two more days.

Two days would be enough to elevate their overall strength by another level!

By then, it might not be clear who would be hunting whom!

——————

The teleportation ended.

Three trains advanced side by side into a square.

As the trains stopped, a group of dwarves immediately approached, with hundreds more watching from outside.

Sensing the situation outside, Lao Tie, without needing instructions, immediately activated all the Attack Modules and weapons on the Armament Carriages, putting them on high alert.

Xiao Wuwang naturally saw clearly that the leader among the dwarves outside was Adia. However, seeing the large crowd around him, he did not immediately disembark.

Adia, of course, sensed the vigilance of the people on the train and immediately waved his hand, signaling his guards to step back. He then approached with two elders.

Seeing this, Xiao Wuwang exchanged a glance with the two beside him and led the way off the train.

When Adia saw Xiao Wuwang’s face clearly, his eyes lit up, and an expression of pleasant surprise instantly spread across his face. He quickened his pace involuntarily.

“Haha! So it’s Brother Wuwang!” Adia laughed heartily, warmly stepping forward as if greeting a long-lost close friend.

Xiao Wuwang smiled faintly and extended his hand for a handshake. “Your Excellency Adia, it’s been a while.”

He then introduced the two people beside him to Adia.

Adia responded to each of them with cheerful enthusiasm.

Finally, Xiao Wuwang’s gaze swept over the two elders behind Adia. He remained inwardly vigilant—these two elders appeared ordinary, but the faint aura emanating from them made him wary. Both of them were likely 6th Order Powerhouses!

Adia seemed to notice Xiao Wuwang’s gaze and quickly introduced them. “Brother Wuwang, these two are Elders from our Kantel City. This is Elder Blue, and this is Elder Green.”

Xiao Wuwang cupped his hands in salute once more. “Greetings to both Elders.”

Elder Blue and Elder Green nodded slightly, their eyes appraising Xiao Wuwang and his companions. Sensing no powerful aura from the three, a trace of barely noticeable disdain flickered in their eyes.

Xiao Wuwang also noticed their dismissiveness but paid it no mind. Turning back to Adia, he asked directly, “Your Excellency Adia, what task have you summoned us here for?”

Adia did not notice the displeasure of Xiao Wuwang and the two elders behind him. He laughed heartily and said, “Brother Wuwang, you are indeed straightforward! To be honest, there is indeed a tricky matter this time that I would like to ask the three of you for help with.”

Xiao Wuwang remained expressionless, quietly waiting for him to continue.

Adia went on, “This goes back to when we escaped from the Forest of the Lost last time. Remember how we wiped out a large Ogre tribe?”

Adia’s expression turned serious, his tone tinged with anxiety. “The Ogres have held a grudge against us for that, and they have long coveted our Kantel City. Now, under the leadership of the High Priests from various Ogre tribes, they have gathered Ogres from the surrounding areas and are charging toward us with overwhelming force. Our dwarf race is not adept at warfare, especially when facing such a large-scale Ogre assault. We are truly struggling to cope. Therefore, we hope the three of you, as brave warriors, can lend us a hand and help us fend off the Ogre invasion.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wuwang began to calculate silently in his mind.

Meanwhile, Yun Feifei and Meng Ruoyun grew visibly tense at the mention of a major battle.

After all, this was a Level 6 Platform, and it was an Extreme Risk level they had never encountered before. They had no confidence whatsoever.

However, Xiao Wuwang had already made up his mind.

While Ogres were formidable in combat, they had a fatal weakness—low intelligence!

As long as the High Priests among the Ogre horde were eliminated, these mindless brutes would fall into chaos, making them much easier to deal with.

And he happened to possess the capability to assassinate the Ogre High Priests.

Seeing the three of them remain silent, Elder Blue and Elder Green became even more convinced that they were afraid.

Elder Green spoke first, his words laced with sarcasm. “What, are the three of you perhaps scared? If so, you might as well go back where you came from! Even if we can’t handle those Ogres, we can still hold the city and wait for reinforcements to arrive! We don’t need you at all.”

Xiao Wuwang ignored him and instead turned to Adia. If Adia shared the same attitude, Xiao Wuwang had no intention of humbling himself for a few hundred Infinite Coins. It would be better to simply collect the Supply Crate. With three Terminators, even chopping trees outside the city to earn Wood Pith would yield decent rewards.

Upon hearing Elder Green’s words, Adia’s expression immediately turned cold. He shot Elder Green a sharp glare before turning to Xiao Wuwang with an apologetic look. “Brother Wuwang, Elder Green speaks bluntly. I hope you won’t take it to heart. Since our Lord, the God of the Hills, has chosen you, he must have placed great expectations on you! Please forgive Elder Green for his thoughtless words. Here, let me first give you the reward for inviting you here.”

With that, Adia took out a cloth pouch and poured out the coins inside.

Xiao Wuwang recognized them at a glance—they were Infinite Coins, each with a face value of 100, five in total.

Adia handed all the Infinite Coins directly to Xiao Wuwang. “Brother Wuwang, this is all the reward we can offer. Although it may not be much, it represents the sincerity of our Kantel City. We sincerely hope the three of you can lend us a hand and help us fend off the Ogre invasion.”

Elder Blue and Elder Green, seeing Adia hand over all the Infinite Coins directly to him, were about to say something but were stopped by a stern look from Adia.

The two elders sensed Adia’s determination and, though unwilling, could only fall silent.

Xiao Wuwang unceremoniously took all the Infinite Coins before finally speaking: “Do you want to repel this Ogre siege, or do you want to cripple their main force so they never dare attack Kantel City again?”
