Chapter 92: Siege
In the border region, the sky was clear and cloudless, a storm wyvern with black-blue feathers soared overhead.
The wind howled past Su Xiao's ears. He had deliberately instructed the storm wyvern to lower its flying speed, making it easier to overlook the Gobi desert below.
The entire border region was a vast Gobi desert, with very little green area and scarce water sources. No wonder the Vassal Alliance had abandoned this place, using it as a "buffer zone" between themselves and the Beast Clan.
On this trip out, the data on the second and third generation Devourers had been fully collected. Coupled with the accidental fusion of these two generations of Devourers and the soul chest obtained, the harvest was quite substantial.
As for whether Li Xiniwei and Xin Alisi had any other secrets, Su Xiao felt it was no longer important. His transaction with the couple was over. They had brought him Devourers with nearly brand-new characteristics. In return for the cooperation, Dorothy had been taken away by the Xin Clan, under the protection of Di Zong, one of the four strongest beings in this world.
Su Xiao knew of a total of four top-tier powerhouses in this world: the human Xin Di Zong, the Beast King of the Beast Clan, the personal guard of the allied marshal He Kangdiwei on the Vassal Alliance side, and the tribal witch Woloyi on the islands near the mainland.
Now that the Sun Faction had developed into a mature form, coupled with the new probability-based paralysis effect on attack from the War Lord's "Blood Soul Force," Su Xiao was not worried about a comeback caused by these powerhouses.
The reason he had the storm wyvern circle over the border region was to see if this place could help perfect his subsequent plans.
By tomorrow morning, the number of war boar mounts would exceed 500,000, meaning they could attack the Vassal Alliance.
In terms of overall combat power, Su Xiao had been building up his ultimate move for so long that he could beat the Vassal Alliance until they couldn't find their way north. But there was one point: just like in the Canglong Continent, leading the Wolf Cavalry Legion on a charge all the way through—was the final result really profitable?
The answer was that, in the short term, it was very profitable, but there were no subsequent gains.
The front line had to keep charging forward; that was a must. But how to stabilize the rear and maximize profits was a problem that had to be considered.
Su Xiao had an idea: every time they captured a part of the Vassal Alliance's territory, they would leave a portion of the pig-headed people there, turning that place into a territory occupied by the Sun Faction.
This involved two issues: 1. Once the Vassal Alliance's territory was encroached upon, to prevent the Sun Faction from gaining troops through war, they would inevitably kill a large number of pig-headed people within their territory.
