I am surrounded by beauties in the Gods and Demons Game Center

"Go on, tell me what the situation is now." Zhang Wei asked Zhang Xiaodan to continue.

"We were betrayed by the Blood Moon Cult on the third day of our attack on Tiprano City."

"What? You have started attacking the city of Tiprano?" Zhang Wei was surprised again. He didn't expect Zhang Xiaodan and the others to make such rapid progress.

"Yes. Because we lost contact with you for a long time, the cripple said that you might have been exposed or even in danger. So at his suggestion, we captured Jinhou Town. When we thought we had accumulated enough strength, we continued to move south to attack Tiprano City."

"According to the plan, the Cripple brought the Blood Moon Cult members into Tiprano City early, mixed in with the fleeing crowd in Jinhou Town. When we launch an attack on Tiprano City, the Cripple and other members of the Blood Moon Cult will launch a surprise attack on the defenders from inside and outside, occupy the city gate, and let us in."

Zhang Wei gestured and asked Zhang Xiaodan to continue speaking.

"However, the Cripple did not make any move on the first day, so we thought the time was not right. On the second day, we increased our attack force and climbed up the city wall, but we still could not break through the city gate. At that time, we thought that the Cripple and the Blood Moon Cult members were exposed in advance and were wiped out. It was not until the third day when the kingdom's brave warriors led reinforcements out of the city to attack us that our people discovered that the Cripple and the Blood Moon Cult members were mixed in with the human army and attacked us."

"We were deceived by him! Our corpses and miserable defeat became stepping stones for him to ascend to the throne." Zhang Xiaodan said this with hatred, wishing he could tear the cripple into pieces.

"Have Jinhou Town and Huai'en Town also been lost?" Zhang Wei asked about the current situation.

"Yes," Zhang Xiaodan gritted his teeth and continued, "The Blood Moon Cult that stayed in Jinhou Town and Huai'en Town took advantage of the time difference and attacked our people in advance. They opened the city gates and let in very human beings. We couldn't defeat them. We don't even know where these people came from!"

"It's okay. It's lost, but the base hasn't been exposed, right?" Zhang Wei thought that as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

"Don't worry, the base is still there. We were worried about exposing the base, so we gathered the remaining troops and headed north to Lionheart Castle. There, people from the Empire will pick us up."

"Empire? How come people from the Empire are involved?" Zhang Wei frowned slightly.

"Not long after we captured Jinhou Town, someone claiming to be an imperial spy contacted us. After verification, it was confirmed that they were from the empire. I guess the Blood Moon Cult's sudden betrayal may be because they discovered that we had contact with the empire." Zhang Xiaodan expressed his guess.

"It's possible, or it may have nothing to do with the Empire. Cripple is a fence-sitter. He will side with whichever side is stronger. Your strength is not enough to deal with the heroes, so it's normal for him to rebel. What agreement have you reached with the Empire?"

"There is no specific agreement yet. The Empire has always wanted to take over Lionheart Castle, but has never been able to infiltrate it. So they hope to use our vampire talents to see if they can infiltrate Lionheart Castle."

"Wait, you said that the imperial spies said that they have never been able to sneak into Lionheart Castle?" Zhang Wei caught a key word.

"Yes, my lord, that is exactly what the empire's spies said."

"Who destroyed the teleportation array of Lionheart Castle?" Zhang Wei muttered in confusion.

"I'm not sure about that. We can send someone to investigate."

Zhang Wei raised his hand to indicate that it was not necessary. He said, "You can't trust everything the Empire says. Tell the vampires and goblins heading north to be more cautious and not fall into the Empire's trap again."

"Yes!" Zhang Xiaodan accepted the order.

"You have worked hard this time. I will increase the number of vampire nobles as soon as possible and let you evolve to dukes as soon as possible. Then you won't have to give in all the time."

"Thank you, my lord." Zhang Xiaodan saluted Zhang Wei to express his gratitude.

"You zombies must have suffered heavy losses this time. I will find time to open a portal between Newt City and the base, and you can then replenish your forces. During this period, you will have to lie dormant for a while." Zhang Wei asked the vampires to lie dormant.

"What about Shen Mudan and the others?" Zhang Xiaodan asked.

"If you can develop without being exposed, then continue to develop. However, the Goblins' inability to upgrade their levels is also a problem. Ask her to research whether there is a way to get promoted."

"Understood." Zhang Xiaodan accepted the order.

"Okay, step back. It's my job next." Zhang Wei told Zhang Xiaodan that he could go back and execute orders.

Zhang Xiaodan stepped back.

On the third day, Zhang Wei's army marched until noon and was about to stop to set up a temporary camp to cook lunch when Omiya Yasushi saw a team of knights leading four brave men coming towards them. Zhang Wei saw that there was a dead cripple in the team. When the cripple saw Zhang Wei, he smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Wei and the lame man did not expose each other, and the time had not come for them to fight to the death.

"Sir Brave, are you from the town of Huai'en?" Zhang Wei pretended to be surprised.

"Sir Zhang, are you going to lead the army to quell the unrest in Huai'en Town?" Omiya Taishi asked knowingly.

"That's right. I'm under the king's order to recapture the town of Huai'en, and then go south to recapture the town of Jinhou." Zhang Wei saluted in the direction of the royal capital, as if he was really loyal to the king.

"That's not necessary. We also followed the king's orders and have already recaptured Jinhou Town and Huai'en Town. We have been chasing the defeated army all the way here." Omiya Taishi followed suit and saluted in the direction of the royal capital, as if he was more loyal to the king than Zhang Wei.

"Eh? We didn't encounter any enemies along the way? Did we miss one? Where is the scout general?" Zhang Wei shouted loudly behind him.

"I am here!" The scout general stepped forward quickly and saluted Zhang Wei.

"My lord the Brave One said that they were chasing the defeated army all the way here. Why didn't our army see the enemy? Did we miss it?" Zhang Wei asked.

The scout general was anxious when he heard this. He first patted Zhang Wei's chest to assure him that the scouts had not slacked off and had not missed anyone. Then, he asked Omiya Yasu about the direction of the defeated army.

Omiya Taishi saw Zhang Wei scolding him the same way he scolded the scout general. Although he was unhappy, he had no way to fight back. He could only point to the north and said, "Master Zhang, you misunderstood. The defeated army I mentioned went to the north. Because the enemy is numerous, we left most of our people behind to restore construction. So, I want to borrow troops from you and go to the north to wipe out all the enemies to prevent future troubles."

Zhang Wei was delighted when he heard this. It turned out that Omiya Tai was here to borrow troops. Zhang Wei pretended to be enlightened and said, "Sir, you should have told me earlier. I thought we let the enemy escape. What are you borrowing? Just tell us where the enemy is and we will go and destroy them."

What Zhang Wei meant by this was that borrowing troops was out of the question, but if we could go together to destroy the enemy and share the credit equally, then it could be considered.

Omiya Taishi didn't want to share the credit with Zhang Wei. Just when he was about to refuse, the lame man came forward and whispered a few words in Omiya Taishi's ear. Omiya Taishi looked at Zhang Wei and the army behind Zhang Wei, and finally chose to agree to Zhang Wei's request.
