How did I become the Lord of Evil Gods?

Chapter 399: Star-Broken Sea
Chapter 401: Gate of the Abyss (title modified)——
The general's plan was generally good, mainly because it was explained clearly and easily understood by everyone present, and there were not many objections.

Therefore, the meeting ended quickly and smoothly. After the general finished explaining his plan, everyone simply improved some details and prepared for some unexpected situations that might be encountered.

There's really not much else to it.

"Wait a moment, Miss Yun."

After the meeting, the Lordaeron mage rushed out of the tent and took the initiative to find Yun Mu.

"Is there anything wrong?" Hearing the words of the Lordaeron mage, Yun Mu stopped and turned to ask the other party.

The Lordaeron mage didn't seem to want to waste time, so he asked Yun Mu directly, "Um, do you... do you think the general's plan can succeed?"

Did this guy catch up with me just to ask this question?

Yun Mu smiled helplessly: "How could I possibly know about this kind of thing before it happens?"

"only."

After a brief pause, Yun Mu continued, "If you want to know my thoughts, I think it's better to be optimistic."

"Tomorrow's plan will definitely succeed!"

The last sentence is Yun Mu’s true thought. No matter how difficult the enemies in the game copy are, she will move towards victory in the end.

After all, they are just like the dwarves here. Once they fail, the price they pay is also their lives.

"You're right." The Lordaeron mage seemed to be relieved. He said, "No matter what, we are going to win. If we deny this before we even start, it will be too late when we really start."

"Talking to you really makes me feel at ease, thank you." The Lordaeron mage took off his hat and bowed sincerely to Yun Mu.

Soon, his figure disappeared in front of them.

"Hmm, what is this? It's quite delicious."

In the evening, with one night left before the plan to seal the door began, Yunmu, Lucy and others sat in the dwarfs' camp, enjoying the delicious food prepared by the bald dwarf uncle.

The other party's original words were that the final battle would begin tomorrow, and it was hard to say how many people would be able to come back by then.

So until then, make sure to eat something good.

So tonight's meal was unusually rich. Although Yun Mu was not very clear about what the dwarves' usual meals were like, looking at their happy faces, it was obviously very good.

They also sat down and tasted the dwarven specialties.

To be honest, it is not the same as what I imagined, with big mouthfuls of meat, big gulps of alcohol, and a heavy salt and oil diet, but I can't really say exactly how it is different. Even Yun Mu finds it surprisingly healthy.

There are all kinds of vegetables, nuts and meats. In addition to the common pork, beef and mutton, there are also various kinds of insect dishes.

Yun Mu asked Lucy curiously, and she told her that the dwarves' eating habits were related to the environment in which they lived.

It is obviously difficult to grow crops on the steep mountain walls, and even animal husbandry and breeding are difficult.

But the dwarves took a different approach and instead studied another type of animal that was less accepted by humans.

That's right, bugs.

These creatures eat little, grow meat quickly, and provide a high calorie content, making them a perfect source of meat for the dwarves who have to do heavy physical labor all year round.

As for vegetables, most of them came from various edible plants in the underground world. As long as they were not too unpalatable, the dwarves would put them on the table.

By the way, most dwarves like to eat sour and sweet fruits. The main reason for this is closely related to the wild berries that grow everywhere in the Redis Mountains.

Therefore, the sour grapes from the human world sell very well on the dwarf side. In addition, sausages made by humans and weapon metals forged by dwarves are also popular trading items between the two sides.

Well. When Lucy said this, she also told her story.

It is said that during her reign of the Scarlet Court, the dwarves tried to sell them the insects they farmed, but the Scarlet Court, which attached great importance to etiquette at the time, had no market for them at all, so they eventually gave up.

"Strange, I didn't see any bugs anywhere?" Yun Mu asked curiously after listening to Lucy's story.

"Hahaha, this little girl knows a lot about us dwarves, but what you said was about scenes from decades ago." The bald dwarf chef appeared next to the three of them and sat down between them with a smile.

"Several decades ago?" Yun Mu was curious when he heard his words: "Is there any difference between now and more than ten years ago?"

"There are so many differences." The bald dwarf touched his smooth head with some emotion and said, "Since the end of the last war of gods, we dwarves have acquired a lot of land outside the mountains."

"With the rise of firearms such as gunpowder and muskets, we not only have land for planting and grazing, but also a lot of money to buy goods from the human world."

"Haha, when people used to eat bugs, they thought it was okay, but when humans came, everyone was eager to become civilized people."

The bald dwarf sighed and said, "After so many years, except for some older dwarves, no one is willing to eat bugs anymore."

"Mind if I smoke a cigarette?"

"It doesn't matter." Yun Mu was very interested in what the bald dwarf said. She asked, "Why do humans have to be civilized after they come here? And what is the relationship between civilized people and eating insects?"

In fact, she already had the answers to these two questions in her mind, but she was more curious about what the dwarf uncle in front of her was thinking.

"It's a very simple truth." The bald dwarf chef lit a cigarette and took a casual puff: "Because apart from dwarves, no other race would eat bugs."

"You can raise cattle and sheep and sell them outside, but only the dwarves will buy insect meat. And once the exchange starts, it will be very difficult to shut it off."

"If you are a dwarf and you are very enthusiastic about entertaining your human friend, would you ask him to eat bugs if you know that humans don't eat bugs?" "What if you try to sell something you like, but the other person is not interested at all and even dislikes it?"

"That's about it, but I can't figure out the deeper reasons."

The bald dwarf put out his cigarette, threw it aside, then stood up and left.

He just heard Lucy and the others talking about insects, so he came over to listen out of curiosity.

Now that you have finished listening, there is naturally no need to stay here any longer.

"But I heard that dwarves are now breeding insects." Brianna said in a low voice after the bald dwarf uncle left.

"Hey, why?" Yun Mu was confused for a moment when he heard this.

"Well, probably because of the border conflict." Brenna thought for a moment and replied.

"When the Frost Kingdom and the Dwarf Empire were at war, all trade between the two sides was banned. The Dwarf Empire, which already relied heavily on imported food, would inevitably face the problem of insufficient food production after trade was cut off."

"I think it was around that time that they picked up the art of breeding insects again."

"Is that so?" Yun Mu suddenly realized, and then murmured to himself with some emotion:
“History is really a cycle that repeats itself over and over again.”

[Congratulations on your increased understanding of the destiny of civilization. Destiny [Civilization] points +15!]
[Current destiny level: Civilization lv4 (80/300)]
Can this also increase destiny points! ?

Yun Mu looked at the message pop-up on the game panel in a daze. He didn't expect that just by eating a meal, his destiny points would increase.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the third day since Yun Mu and his friends arrived at the dwarf camp.

This time, Yunmu took a lot longer to enter the game copy than before.

Maybe it’s because this is a master-level copy?
Yun Mu didn’t quite understand, but her intuition told her that today might be the last day.

If you want to tell me why.
".Uh-huh, well."

Slowly opening his eyes, Yun Mu reluctantly squeezed out from between Brianna and Lucy.

After she stood up, the two people lying beside her also woke up.

To be honest, Yun Mu was a little suspicious whether the two of them were pretending to sleep. After all, every time she got up, the two of them would get up too.

And almost at the same time!

Of course, she was just thinking about it.

As master-level transcendents, Brianna and Lucy don't need to sleep and rest frequently.

Even if she did rest, she wouldn't have to rest for long. She didn't hide it from anyone when she got up. It was reasonable for the two of them to get up together after they sensed it.

Isn't this just pretending to sleep?
Yun Mu complained in his heart, then went outside the tent to wash up.

The atmosphere in the dwarf camp today has obviously become much more serious, and almost everyone has a cold expression on their face.

Influenced by this atmosphere, Yun Mu and the others couldn't help but lower their postures and walked to the center of the camp with expressionless faces, in front of the gray-black tent used for meetings.

Leiden and a group of dwarf officers had been waiting here for a long time. Not long after, accompanied by the sound of a bell that rang throughout the camp, all the dwarves, except for the patrolling guards, gathered in the center of the camp.

"Everyone!"

The general was wearing a gray-black full body armor and stood in front of the army with his back straight.

"Heh." He seemed to be planning to say something, but when he saw the dwarves in the audience holding their heads high with firm expressions on their faces, he took back his words.

"It seems there is no need to boost morale."

He clenched his right fist and slammed it against his left chest, with a dull sound as the gauntlet and chest armor collided.

"We will win this battle!" He raised his clenched right fist and swung it to the side: "All troops, attack!"

“Oh oh oh oh oh!!”

It is said that there is no need to boost morale, but is this sentence actually used to boost morale?

Yun Mu looked at the dwarves around him, who became extremely excited after the dwarf general spoke, and thought.

There is no doubt that this is a good general, even though Yun Mu has no idea how to deploy troops and is not clear about what a general should be like.

But judging from the contact in just three days, she believed that the other party was a qualified general.

However, having excellent generals is far from enough. Those monsters
Yun Mu felt the increasingly oppressive air around him, as well as the ether mixed with evil aura.

I couldn't help but worry about the future of their team.

"Roar!!"

Suddenly, a monster's roar was heard from the darkness in the distance. At the same time, a door with a grotesque pattern engraved on the door frame and a door that constantly emitted the smell of sulfur and sparks from the inside appeared at the end of everyone's sight.

At the same time, on Yunmu’s game panel.
