Numerous dwarves approached outside the territory. However, Su Wan, who was the Lord of the territory, and Xu Yuan laughed.
The scene confused Shi Linglong. They looked like villains at that moment. Shi Linglong was speechless.
"Wanwan," she called. "Don’t just stand there and laugh. It’s getting dark."
The situation was dire, but Su Wan waved her hand confidently at her friend. "I know! It’s alright."
’Why is she so calm?’ wondered Shi Linglong. She turned to look at Xu Yuan.
He was lying on the throne in the castle. The throne symbolized the supreme power of the territory. Xu Yuan occupied it.
Shi Linglong finally realized the truth. She and the Flower Fairy had witnessed Xu Yuan’s power in the illusionary world of the Dark Dragon King. With Xu Yuan around, what did Su Wan have to worry about? The enemy was the one who needed to be worried.
Su Wan thought differently. She still thought that Xu Yuan’s power in the Dark Dragon King’s spiritual realm had been an illusion. She did feel that Xu Yuan wasn’t as simple as he looked, but he thought she could have become powerful too if she had known the laws of that world.
Su Wan still held onto the thought that everything had been an illusion. She still believed that Xu Yuan wasn’t very strong in direct combat. The reason Su Wan was feeling confident right now was because of the new buildings in the territory.
"Those dwarves seem smart. They haven’t climbed over the city walls yet," said Su Wan, looking out of the window of the castle.
The Dwarven Army seemed to be hesitating. However, they looked like they were discussing something. They did not rush in mindlessly.
"Detestable! To lure them in, I spent a lot of money on wine." Su Wan gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction.
One bottle of wine was enough to attract some dwarves, but it would take a lot more to lure all of them in.
It was difficult to entice the Dwarven Army into the territory! Su Wan had used a huge amount of money to buy more wine.
Xu Yuan yawned and continued sleeping on the throne. In the past, Su Wan would have said something to him for his actions. After all, the throne symbolized the supreme power of the territory. Only the Lord could sit on it.
However, things were different now. Whether it was the Soul Altar or the plan to trick the dwarves, Su Wan recognized the resourcefulness of Xu Yuan and his plans.
Seeing that he had made such a contribution, Su Wan let him use the throne as his nest for now.
Even if Su Wan didn’t care about it, Shi Linglong did. "Wanwan, that’s the Lord’s throne..."
Shi Linglong wasn’t trying to sow discord between the Lord and the hero, but the Lord’s throne was something that was of exceptional importance. If the relationship between the Lord and the hero was close, the hero was allowed to sit on the throne, especially during the absence of the Lord. A hero could govern in the steed of the Lord.
However, it was shocking for Shi Linglong to see Xu Yuan treating the throne as a nest to sleep in. Shi Linglong didn’t know what to say any further.
It was as if Su Wan didn’t hear her at all. She stared at the Dwarven Army outside the city walls. Shi Linglong felt that she had overlooked a problem before. It seemed that Su Wan and her hero were trying to trick the dwarves into actually entering and attacking the territory!
’What are these two planning now?’ thought Shi Linglong.
At this moment, Su Wan became frustrated. She shook Xu Yuan awake. "Fraud Xu, wake up! Quickly, do something! The dwarves refuse to enter our territory."
Su Wan was very anxious. Everything had gone according to their plan. They only had to wait for the dwarves to step into their territory. However, at the last minute, things weren’t working as planned. She had no choice but to wake Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan shook his tail lazily. "The food is already in your mouth, and yet you don’t open your mouth to eat it. You might as well starve to death." After saying that, he continued sleeping.
He had anticipated this. It was not a cause for concern. If Su Wan couldn’t handle even something as small as this, then she didn’t deserve to be a Lord.
Su Wan got more anxious. She wished he hadn’t said anything at all. However, Su Wan was a calm person by nature. She composed herself and thought about the next step.
’We still have a mole,’ she thought. She felt hopeful.
She still had the Tauren spy. She commanded him to bring a dwarf into her territory and to kill him. The dead dwarf was resurrected as Su Wan’s troop.
Now, she had a dwarf as a mole. She used her authority as an Overlord to instruct the dwarf about the next course of action.
Shi Linglong saw all of this. She felt overwhelmed. "A mole? Wanwan, how did you find an enemy spy? Did you plan all this beforehand?"
Su Wan was too busy instructing the dwarf that she had no time to answer Shi Linglong.
...
Outside the city wall, the dwarf spy followed Su Wan’s orders. He carried a bottle of Erguotou and blended in with the Dwarven Army. "Commander, I found this!"
The dwarf spy panted heavily. "I smelled it from that side, so I tried digging through the city wall. I didn’t expect the city wall to be so poorly built. I managed to dig a hole through it to the other side!"
The dwarf spy twisted open the lid of the bottle. A strong smell of liquor wafted about.
Their leader snatched the bottle and took a long swig from it. "What a strong taste! This is good stuff!"
The commander was a little hesitant. However, under the temptation of strong liquor, his suspicions disappeared. "Lead the way!" he commanded. "We must steal all the good liquor from this territory!"
The commander threw the empty bottle aside and ordered the dwarf spy to show the way for them to follow.
