The Mizobudapi Holy War had two major battlefields in the north and south. Compared to the smooth progress on the northern battlefield, the situation on the southern battlefield was much more tense. This was mainly because of the location of the landing and the location of the base. The southern battlefield was relatively closer to the central area of the Mizobudapi people. Hence, whether it was in terms of intelligence reconnaissance or the advancement of the army, they encountered more intense resistance. The Holy City Army still had the absolute upper hand. Although they didn't suffer a lot of losses, they had to deploy more defenses every time they advanced, resulting in a serious shortage of troops. In such a large area, a mere 50,000 troops were basically nowhere to be seen. They had only advanced less than half of the northern battlefield, but the number of troops available was becoming more and more limited.
After the transmission array was successfully built, the Holy City had deployed several more troops, mainly to support the southern battlefield. However, it was still far from enough.
Although the Holy City had a massive army, far exceeding hundreds of thousands of troops, did the various worlds not need to be guarded? Did the various secret realms not need to be guarded? The development of the humans in the Holy City had actually reached a temporary peak, but it was limited by the talent and number of humans, as well as the level of civilization. Therefore, there were not many idle troops that could be deployed for external expeditions. The temporary reinforcements were mostly from the private troops of the various forces and the 10 Great Families. However, this involved even more problems. Whether it was the cultivation forces like the Mystic Sect, the Tyrants, the Sparta Clan, or the Federation forces like the 10 Great Families that the Holy City had been supporting, these forces had secretly cultivated and accumulated a lot of power. If they really worked together, it wouldn't be a problem for them to borrow a million elites at once. However, the problem was that they all had their own plans.
There were checks and balances among them, and there would be internal strife. It wasn't like the Holy City was forcing them to send out a certain number of troops. If they sent out too many troops and died on the battlefield, wouldn't their forces be weakened? Even if the sky fell, there would be someone else to support it. If they conquered the Mizobudapi World, they wouldn't be the only one receiving dividends. Why did they have to work so hard? If the Mizobudapi World was fighting against a very weak civilization, it would be fine. After all, the Mizobudapi World would send people to steal the credit. But now, everyone who understood the situation of the battle could feel that the seemingly weak Mizobudapi World was not as simple as it seemed. If they didn't have the foresight to see this, they should just wash up and sleep. How could they rule the Mizobudapi World? This might be a tough battle. Who would send people to die? All of the factions hoped that they would not send out any of their own people. Then, the other factions would send their troops to die and fall from grace. Then, they would replace them or make their strength and status more stable among the major factions. In any case, they would not lose out on the dividends in the end.
Thus, the various major factions, who originally had great potential, were now pleading for reinforcements as if they were squeezing toothpaste. The Holy City was really pressuring them, and they had no other choice but to plead for reinforcements. This made the Holy City's military very angry. This was actually the norm in previous large-scale Holy Wars. The higher-ups didn't have any better ideas. The law couldn't punish the masses, so everyone was doing the same thing. They couldn't just kill everyone because of this.
In previous Holy Wars, when faced with such situations, the higher-ups would usually do some ideological work while slowly pressuring the other factions. If the war went smoothly, then they would let it go. However, if the frontlines were really tight, then the Patriarch Society would issue a mandatory order for the various factions to share the burden. However, it was different this time. The higher-ups didn't even do any ideological work for the various factions. This was because someone had stepped up.
The Kaiser Empire, Solomon.
The Kaiser Empire had directly sent an additional 100,000 soldiers, and all of them were elites. Although their group combat ability could not be compared to the soldiers trained by the Holy City's regular army, the Kaiser Empire's valiant combat style, coupled with their adaptability to harsh environments, endurance, and so on, made them a level higher than the Holy City's army. Their overall ability was not weaker than the ordinary Holy City's army, and they were even better than the private soldiers of the aristocratic families.
The higher-ups in the Holy Land were obviously very happy. It wasn't that they didn't know what the various plans of the higher-ups were. Not only did the Kaiser Empire's reinforcements directly solve the problem of the frontlines being tight, but it also served as a reminder to the various aristocratic families and major cultivation factions. It was also a powerful impact on these gradually decaying factions. They weren't the only ones in the Holy City. When it was time for them to contribute, they didn't contribute. They were just waiting for others to divide their cake.
Therefore, this time, Solomon was greatly praised. All kinds of publicity and even the Empire's army became more and more valuable in this context. Solomon himself also directly received many privileges that were not inferior to those of Great Teachers.
At this time, the emotions of the various major factions were rather complicated. However, they were basically still in a wait-and-see state. Frankly speaking, Solomon's move was quite risky. On the surface, it seemed that he had taken this opportunity to rise to the top and had leaped into the eyes of the higher-ups in the Holy Land. He was valued, but what if the war didn't go smoothly? What if the 100,000 soldiers he had mobilized from the Empire were annihilated in the Holy War? Then, he might be able to obtain some personal glory and a special position in the Holy City. However, he would have no subordinates and no influence under him. It would only be an empty title. He would no longer be competitive and would become worthless.
Risk and opportunity coexisted. Man proposes, God disposes. Whether the Empire would rise in response to the situation or become the background of history, no one could tell until the day the war ended. Solomon, who was on the battlefield, was obviously very clear about this.
He definitely did not make this decision recklessly. In this world, if you wanted something, you had to give something. The 100,000 troops of the Empire was just a test. He would not be stupid enough to completely satisfy the higher-ups in the Holy Land. If he was so obedient, the other party would not know how to "cherish" him. Cooperation was a process of gambling. Of course, he had also been quite active and proactive on the southern battlefield recently. This Holy War was an excellent opportunity.
He directly left the Imperial Court Exploration Team and established his own team, forming the Kaiser Exploration Team. On the first day of its establishment, the team directly recruited 100 elites and displayed astonishing strength. In just half a month, they had completed several major breakthroughs on the southern battlefield. They had even obtained detailed intelligence and besieged a Sword Saint yesterday. Although the Sword Saint managed to escape in the end, the Kaiser Exploration Team paid the price of zero losses in exchange for an arm. This was already the best result any exploration team in the Holy City Army had when facing a Sword Saint. This made people fully aware of Solomon's methods and the ample preparations he had made for this Holy War. This was not the effect of forming a team in a hurry. Instead, it made people feel as if they had already been meticulously planned and well-prepared.
"Boss, actually, we can take on a more difficult mission. Besieging a Sword Saint is not challenging at all. Furthermore, it's strenuous and unrewarding. It's too slippery."
Solomon's barracks were definitely the largest in the Exploration Team Department of the southern base. It looked like a small command post and could accommodate hundreds of people. At this time, there were only seven or eight people gathered in the room, making it seem rather spacious.
"Don't worry. The situation of the battle is not clear yet. We just need to maintain a certain level of exposure. Let's settle down first and see what happens next." Solomon sat in front of a table. There were thick documents on the table, but to be honest, Solomon would not read them in detail one by one. There were specialized analysts for data analysis and intelligence analysis. They understood his intentions and would extract information that he was interested in from these thick documents. He was better at formulating strategies, deploying talents, and playing with people's hearts. He would never intervene in areas that he was not good at. There was no need to doubt the people he used.
"Sigh, this place is really not as fun as Earth." The loli crossed her legs and pouted as she sat in front of Solomon's table. Surprisingly, Solomon did not blame her. "The people here are all dressed to the point that their necks are covered. I can't see the muscles of handsome men or the buttocks of beautiful women. It's really boring."
Solomon laughed. "Xiao Wu, don't you like to try new things? The alien races here are very amorous. "
"Octopus people? Ugh! Boss, please spare me. Just looking at those fleshy tentacles makes me sick. I don't like tentacles … "The loli pretended to vomit and had an exaggerated expression." Anyway, Boss, you don't plan to do anything big recently. Don't you have the right to come and go as you please? Why don't you give me a few days off and let me go back to Earth to find a handsome guy to vent my anger? I promise to come back within 10 days! Look, look, I've already grown pimples! Also, also, I haven't confiscated the seeds and lines that I planted on Earth … "
The loli acted coquettishly and made up various reasons. Solomon smiled. Before he could speak, a dignified man in heavy armor beside him had already coldly reprimanded her. "Wu! How can you speak to the Young Master like that?! "
The loli stuck out her tongue. She had always been fearless and even dared to act coquettishly in front of Solomon. However, in front of this dignified man, she was somewhat fearful.
Solomon's shadow, Kai. No one knew his true identity and strength. He was over 40 years old and would seem like a mute if he didn't speak. However, Solomon's core team, Dandelion, had all received guidance from him. He was the one who had cut off one of the Sword Saint's arms during the encirclement. Furthermore, it was a one-on-one battle when the Sword Saint was in his peak condition. If Solomon had not stopped them from pursuing the Sword Saint, it would not have been impossible for them to kill the Sword Saint. The entire Kaiser Corps was Solomon's trusted aide. The people of the Empire had strong personalities, but once they set their sights on a goal, they were much more determined than the Federation. The Kaiser Empire had prepared a lot for today.
The people of the Kaiser Empire yearned for the things that the Federation was used to enjoying. Even if they had to sacrifice a lot, it was worth it if they could exchange it for the rise of the Empire.
"It's okay. She's Dandelion's brain. She can do whatever she wants." Solomon smiled and shook his head, indicating to Kai not to worry. "The stage of planning is over, and we have already understood everything that needs to be understood. Now is the best opportunity for us to gain power and status. We can't underestimate it. If you want to play, there will be plenty of time in the future."
Perhaps because Kai kept staring at her, Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to say anything about returning to Earth. "If that's the case, shouldn't we summon the others back? I heard that Wang Zhong from the north is already dead. There's no need to waste time around him. "
"Ah, dead?" Enoch, who was munching on a pig's trotter at the side, raised his head.
