Chapter 954: Chapter 954 The King is Not In

A group of people went to the nearby territories.

The sensor’s status remained unchanged, still displaying Fu Miaoxue’s hologram.

Then, they checked several other territories, all unchanged.

"No one has occupied the territories, and there are no signs of the enemy. Could they have given up on the game?" Chen Hui couldn’t help but say, "Is this war game really a competition between three kings? Why can’t we see anyone?"

"It’s very strange," Leonid also said. "What exactly are those guys up to?"

Despite having the upper hand in the game, as Willard and his subjects remained unseen, everyone was unable to feel at ease.

Du Lai and Fu Miaoxue discussed for a moment and then told everyone, "Let’s continue to take over the territories. There are a total of 36 territories, and they must be in the places we haven’t visited yet. We’ll meet them sooner or later."

They continued to explore the map.

Many territories’ sensors were unclaimed, glowing blue, and there were no extra footprints on the sandy ground, indicating that no king or subject had been there.

Had the opponents given up even on basic environmental exploration?

"If no one is picking up after us, we would have already taken over 32 territories," Yan Qingwen frowned, looking forward, "only four more left."

Du Lai used his wristwatch to touch the sensor, and the blue light instantly turned red, projecting a hologram of Fu Miaoxue.

"Three more left," Du Lai said. "Keep moving forward."

To win, they only needed to seize the majority of territories, but without understanding the opponents’ moves, no matter how many territories they were ahead, they could still be counterattacked by the opponents.

Everyone followed Du Lai and Fu Miaoxue, heading towards the last corner of the triangular territory—

This time, they finally saw people!

Contrary to expectations, a group of people huddled under a mound, lacking any combative aura, shivering and looking terrified and jittery as Du Lai and others approached.

It was more accurate to describe them as prisoners rather than subjects.

"What the hell?" Leonid, in the front, couldn’t help but mutter, "Why put a bunch of weaklings here?"

"Better be careful," Yan Qingwen cautioned everyone. "It might be a trap."

This was too abnormal.

In a war game involving kings, wouldn’t all subjects be carefully selected? Why did these people look like they had escaped from a refugee camp?

Unconsciously, everyone slowed down their pace, simultaneously guarding against any traps around them.

When they were about 20 meters away, Du Lai stopped.

"There are only nine people," Du Lai frowned. "Their king isn’t here."

"Are you talking about that Willard?" Fu Miaoxue scrutinized carefully, "...Strange, he’s really not among these people."

Before the battle started, Fu Miaoxue had seen the enemy identity information and knew what Willard looked like.

"Could he be hiding nearby?" Fu Miaoxue motioned to several subjects, "You, go check behind that mound."

The terrain was mostly flat here, with only a few small mounds and nowhere else to hide.

The subjects quickly returned, all shaking their heads. "There’s nothing behind the mounds."

"Should we ask those people?" someone suggested. "They should at least know where their king went."

Du Lai furrowed his brows, pondering. They definitely needed to ask, but... who should do the asking?

His gaze swept over everyone present and finally stopped on Yan Qingwen’s face.

Yan Qingwen stepped forward, "I’ll go."

He glanced at the steel puppet behind him, his tone light, "It’s safer for me to ask."

The steel puppet couldn’t initiate an attack, but it could provide maximum defense for Yan Qingwen. Thus, he was the best candidate.

Du Lai nodded at him and said in a serious tone, "Be careful."
