Dean went back to the Temple after leaving the laboratory. He took out the God's marrows and injected two tubes into himself. He felt his body was inflating and boiling. Then he went to bed and slept.
Dean got up early the next morning. He called Neuss to ask about the situation of the outer wall.
The outer wall had become peaceful. Although the policies proposed by Dean had caused an uproar but it had gradually subsided. There were occasional disturbances but Richelieu and Barton had dealt with them. The nobles of the outer wall had no choice but to bow their heads in the face of the joint forces of the magistrate, the Holy Church, the military and the dark parliament.
Although the nobles were strong but there were a large number of them. It was difficult for them to compete with the four forces.
In the entire outer wall, Dean was able to cover the sky with one hand. The military, the magistrate and the Holy Church were in his hands. Even if he were to distort black and white it would be legal. No one would dare to have any objection.
"It will take at least three days to open up the mountain and fill it with gunpowder." Neuss said.
Dean frowned: "So long?"
Although it was a huge project and it was very difficult to complete it in three days. But don't forget that he had countless labor and money in his hands. He could drive countless civilians to do things for him.
"The wall builders have investigated. The rock structure inside the mountain is special. It will be difficult to open it." Neuss lowered his head.
Dean slightly frowned. Three days was a bit slow for him. Although it was estimated that the inner wall would recover in half a month but it didn't mean that the inner wall wouldn't send troops to attack the outer wall. After all, the last time Hailey attacked the inner wall with many pioneers. It was bound to cause an uproar. It was enough to make the higher-ups of the inner wall pay attention to it.
"Send people to the parliament to select some hunters who are good at opening up the rock and have similar magic marks to help." Dean said after a little thought.
"I know, master." Neuss nodded but there was a trace of worry in his eyes. He saw that Dean was mobilizing all the troops. It meant that the crisis was imminent.
"How is the potioneer's camp doing? Is there anything useful?" Dudian asked as he didn't wait for him to leave.
Neuss paused for a moment: "Ever since the establishment of the Potioneering Battalion, we have been researching all kinds of medicines. We have made great breakthroughs in the field of healing medicines. If a war breaks out in the future …"
"What about poisons?" Dean interrupted him and asked immediately.
"Poison?" Neuss was startled: "The research on poison is relatively slow. Considering that we will be fighting with the inner wall, the pharmacist camp should focus on the treatment aspect …"
Dean sighed in his heart. He blamed himself for not reminding them earlier: "There is no need to study the treatment. Stop immediately and let them develop the poison. It doesn't matter what type of poison it is as long as it can make people lose their combat ability. The most important thing is that it must be unsolvable!"
"Uh … Do all potioneers make poisons?"
"Yes."
"Then the medicine for treatment …"
"If there is a war then the soldiers of the outer wall won't be able to compete with the inner wall. What's the use of the medicine if the battlefield is one-sided?"
Neuss was startled: "But … But why did you let the barbarians settle in the slums? Why did you let the army recruit people? Aren't they going to die in vain …"
"They are going to die but not in vain." Dean said straightforwardly as he saw that Neuss didn't understand his intentions: "There are only two options for the inner wall to recover us. The first one is to send the pioneers to kill me and reduce innocent casualties. The second one is to launch an all-out war. In this case they will have to think twice if all the people in the outer wall are soldiers. "
"They want to recover the outer wall, not destroy it."
Neuss understood. He didn't think that Dean would use the lives of these people as a bargaining chip and not as strength. No matter how many soldiers there were, they couldn't be compared to the combat power of the inner wall. They didn't have the capital to regard them as strength.
"But …" He looked at Dean: "Although the military has high recruitment benefits but there aren't many people joining the army. The civilians may not be willing to help us if there is a war."
"They will help us." Dean said calmly: "They have enough reasons to fight for us. The inner wall has been reminding them of this reason for the past three hundred years."
"What reason?"
"They can become nobles if they go to war and kill the enemy!"
…
…
Four days passed in the blink of an eye.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner. The mountain had been completely opened up and filled with explosives. The whole project only took two days with the cooperation of a large number of hunters.
At the same time countless miners were wantonly digging in the saltpeter mines of the outer wall.
Transport routes were densely packed. The entire outer wall had entered the stage of comprehensive preparation for war.
Dean stayed in the Temple in the last four days. He practiced fighting while thinking about the current situation. He was observing the inner wall and arranging people to infiltrate it.
Although the war could break out at any time he wanted to send as many people as possible into the inner wall.
"Unfortunately the time is too short."
"If I was given three years then I wouldn't need to spend a single soldier to conquer the inner wall."
Dean sighed in his heart. Some people think that time is too slow. Some people don't have enough time.
On the Wall of Sighs, the number of soldiers stationed there were patrolling back and forth. Hundreds of miles away from this wall, the outline of the human city could be clearly seen, but the flames of war resounded everywhere. Everywhere was filled with smoke, and the city walls were in ruins. Many towering and sturdy city walls had been destroyed somehow, and the traces of destruction were shocking. The air was filled with the strong stench of rotting corpses.
The clouds were floating in the sky and the breeze was warm.
All these changes did not affect the sky in the slightest. Sunlight quietly penetrated through the clouds and shone on the towering giant wall. In the hunter's zone where the monsters lived, huge monsters crawled and hunted for prey.
A group of human figures slowly appeared at the end of the area.
The human figures were standing in a row. All of them were wearing robes and carrying a variety of strange weapons. Some weapons were four or five meters long scythes and some weapons were giant spikes.
They walked very slowly, but their figures quickly became clear. A boar-like monster that was gnawing on the walking dead noticed the group of human figures and immediately rushed towards them with a howl.
