#384 - Chapter 384: Chess Pieces and Abandoned Pieces
“Hahaha!”
With an arrogant laugh echoing from the portal, Wu Wei emerged from the abyssal gate, smiling.
A pair of scarlet, vertical pupils appeared prominently within the War College.
“What a...”
“Unforgettable war!”
“Don’t you all think so?”
Stepping out of the portal, Wu Wei addressed the other students with a grin.
“…”
Unsurprisingly, after Wu Wei spoke, nearly all the students glared at him with anger.
Of course, it wasn't just glares that Wu Wei received, but also words.
“You damned, despicable bastard!”
A lord who had suffered under Wu Wei before stepped forward, pointing a finger at him.
“How dare you bring shame upon the War College!”
“Shame?”
“Yes!”
“It’s all because of you, you damned madman, that our War College’s sacred artifact was destroyed!”
“And it’s all because of your madness that we suffered such heavy losses!”
“Wow~”
Hearing this, Wu Wei shrugged.
“If you put it that way, then I might have to question something.”
“Question what?”
“Whether your intelligence level really qualifies you to remain in the War College.”
“What nonsense are you spouting!” The lord’s face flushed red with anger at Wu Wei’s mockery.
“No, I’m not spouting nonsense.”
“On the contrary, you’re the one spouting nonsense!”
Wu Wei lowered his head slightly, staring intently at the lord before him with his scarlet eyes, not backing down.
“What we engaged in was a war!”
“Although it was given the name of an assessment, it was still a war!”
“The moment you lost something important in this war and then went to the winner to demand an explanation, you were already a loser.”
“And a loser twice over.”
“Not only disgusting! But also....”
As he spoke, Wu Wei sneered.
“Extremely ugly!”
“You bastard, you....”
The student was about to say something when he was interrupted by others.
However, unlike the previous time.
This time, the people questioning Wu Wei weren't the War College students, but the newcomers who had participated in the assessment.
Simply put, it was Wu Wei's "allies."
“War?!”
“Wu Wei, how dare you mention war!”
The eldest of the Shen sisters stepped forward, pointing at Wu Wei.
“Is your way of war to harm your allies?”
Hearing the eldest of the Shen sisters speak, the other newcomers who had “fought alongside” Wu Wei couldn't hold back any longer.
“Yeah, yeah!”
“You bastard, how dare you come up with such a terrible idea to achieve your goals!”
“You pretended to let us dig tunnels, but in reality, you used us as your targets to gain benefits for yourself!”
A female lord with a very shrill voice cried out.
“No, no, no, the problem you're talking about isn't the key at all!”
“The real key is that Wu Wei, this bastard, secretly withdrew his troops after everyone handed over half of their armies!”
“We could have forgiven the withdrawal! What we really can't forgive is....”
“This damned bastard actually spread the plague to his own army, and their army also transmitted these diseases to our soldiers!”
“Even if we aren't allies in the traditional sense, we are still comrades in this assessment!”
“But he treated his comrades like this, how can anyone not be angry?!”
“Wow.”
“Sounds like another very serious accusation!”
Wu Wei laughed.
But his laughter was even colder.
“First of all, I need to refute something!”
“We are not allies, let alone comrades!”
“Never have been!”
“I wonder if you heard that?”
“The reason I say this is simple.”
“You are just a bunch of pawns!”
“A bunch of pawns who can't even understand schemes and calculations!”
“What did you say?”
Hearing Wu Wei say this, the other newcomers were enraged.
“If you weren't pawns, then why would you be exploited?”
“I'll say it again!”
“This is a war, a war of life and death!”
“No matter who you are, as long as you are in this war, then you should be aware that you might become a pawn!”
“If you can't even detect schemes and calculations, then you deserve to be a pawn!”
“Do you understand?”
“Moreover, I need to clarify one point, a very important point!”
Wu Wei took a deep breath.
“It's true that I used you as pawns for my own purposes, but the problem is that my plan didn't directly treat you as discarded pieces!”
“There is a big difference between pawns and discarded pieces!”
“If your strength was really sufficient, why would you be blaming me?”
“You could have just used your own strength to sweep through the entire assessment, couldn't you?”
“In the end, you are still too weak!”
“The weak should be dominated!”
“You...”
Hearing Wu Wei say this, the other students and the newcomers participating in the assessment were all somewhat indignant.
But just at this moment.
“All of you...”
“Shut up!”
An extremely violent voice came from the corner of the War College hall.
