#839 - Chapter 839 The Biggest Weakness
As Wu Wei had expected, the counterattack from the Sunset Dynasty was both fierce and swift.
In just twenty minutes, Wu Wei received news from ten different planes simultaneously, reporting the appearance of Sunset Dynasty troops within their respective planes.
Upon hearing this, Wu Wei wasn't surprised; instead, he chuckled.
"As expected, just as I predicted."
"These fools believe they've found my..."
"Weakness!"
On the other side, He Yun, the guild leader of the Sunset Dynasty, was explaining the matter of "Wu Wei's weakness" to his son, He Qiang.
"Son, remember this."
"This war we're waging today may determine our entire future."
"Therefore, on such a crucial day, I must entrust you with a vital task."
"What task, Father?"
Hearing his father's words, the extremely nervous He Qiang couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Your task is to remain in the rear..."
Before he could finish, He Qiang retorted.
"No, Father."
"I must fight alongside you."
"Especially today!"
Seeing his son's foolishness, He Yun shook his head in frustration.
The old lord, with his graying hair, grasped his son's hand and said firmly.
"Listen to me."
"I'm asking you to stay in the rear not to protect you."
"On the contrary, your true responsibility is to engage in the most arduous battles!"
He Qiang was taken aback by He Yun's words.
He Yun slowly explained.
"I will give you a force of our most elite troops, and you will wait in the rear."
"Son, from now on, all of us remaining, all the lords belonging to the Sunset Dynasty guild, will be scattered across ten different planes, engaging in a bloody battle with Wu Wei!"
"Your task is this: when our battle with Wu Wei reaches a fever pitch, whether you choose or randomly select a battlefield,"
"You must lead your elite troops, charge onto that battlefield, crush the defenses in that plane with absolute superiority, then withdraw your troops, and await the next opportunity to attack!"
"This is the task I am assigning to you!"
"Do you understand?"
He Qiang nodded immediately.
Only then did he realize that his father's instruction for him to wait in the rear wasn't about protecting him, but about entrusting him with a truly difficult mission.
However...
"Wait a moment, Father, I still don't quite understand."
"Don't understand what?"
He Yun frowned and asked.
"Are you worried about my assignment?"
"No."
"I just don't understand why you would forcibly divide our already limited forces, when our army strength isn't advantageous, and make us fight separately?"
Faced with this question, He Yun smiled.
It seemed his son was finally catching on.
"Because it's related to Wu Wei's weakness."
He Yun pointed to his head.
"Son, you must understand."
"Although Wu Wei's fierce reputation resounds throughout the entire human empire, why haven't those so-called families and large alliances taken him too seriously?"
"Because he's a lone wolf!"
"From beginning to end, he has only been one person!"
As the leader of a large guild, He Yun saw things much more clearly than his son.
"One person's ability is ultimately limited."
"No matter how talented Wu Wei is, no matter if he is the strongest of the younger generation in the War College,"
"Wu Wei's greatest weakness is that he is just one person, without other helpers!"
"So, if you recall all of Wu Wei's past wars, haven't they all basically been fought one plane at a time?"
He Qiang recalled and his eyes widened.
Because he realized that his father was indeed correct.
Wu Wei's strategy was basically to forcefully crush a plane, then send his troops to take it over, and then go on to conquer the next plane.
Such a strategy seemed incredibly fierce to the lords of the human empire, but in reality, it was indeed a kind of cover-up.
"The reason he does this is because, as a lone wolf lord, his command ability, no matter how strong, has its limits!"
"The battle for one plane, although complex and lengthy, is still ultimately confined to the same large battlefield."
"So, Wu Wei might be able to adapt to such a large battlefield, but what if we change the number of battlefields to ten?"
He Yun narrowed his eyes.
"The lone wolf will fall into the predicament of multi-front warfare!"
"And this is his greatest..."
"Weakness!"
