Qi Mo fell silent. He really did not know what to say. Yufei's words were like a blow to the head that woke him up.
Previously, Qi Mo only thought that if there was a civil war, then the Desolate race would be caught in the flames of war. If that happened, the ones who would suffer would be the Desolate race. Hence, he had been trying his best to avoid a civil war. Previously, he was only thinking of ways to stall for time, so as to ease the conflict between Zhao Hai and the Elder Parliament.
However, he never expected that the conflict between Zhao Hai and the Elder Parliament was not as simple as a simple conflict. There was a conflict of interest. One side wanted to gain great benefits, while the other side would not let them. This conflict was irreconcilable.
If the conflict was irreconcilable, then it would only be a matter of time before a war broke out. If a war really broke out, then it would not be as simple as a civil war. With Zhao Hai's strength and means, the Desolate race would definitely suffer if a war really broke out. If they were not prepared at all, then there would only be more deaths among the Desolate race.
When war was unavoidable, they could only think of ways to minimize the losses. As a veteran soldier, Qi Mo knew this very well. However, he had gone into a dead end previously and had never thought of it. Now, with Yufei saying this, Qi Mo was immediately jolted awake.
He fell silent for a moment before sighing and saying, "You are right. I previously thought of things too simply. Forget it, it seems like we should begin making preparations. If not, the Desolate race's losses will be even greater."
As soon as Yufei and the others heard Qi Mo's words, they couldn't help but smile. Yufei was even happier as she said, "That's right, this is the Captain that I've always admired. Captain, tell us what we should do now."
Qi Mo said in a deep voice, "It has been so many years. There are many soldiers who have retired under me. Some of them were transferred to other armies because of their good performance. What you need to do now is to think of a way to contact these people and see what they are doing. Test them and see if they are loyal to us. If they are still with us, that would be the best. After confirming it, tell them what we want to do. This matter has to be done as soon as possible."
Yufei and the others responded and immediately turned to leave. It was not difficult to contact those people. In the Desolate race, regardless of which army they were from, regardless of whether the soldiers were retired or transferred, they would leave behind their contact details. As long as these contact details were used to contact them, most of them could be contacted.
Furthermore, the Desolate race had been waging wars all these years. The friendships formed on the battlefield were not easily changed. Everyone had experienced life and death together, so such friendships were not something that ordinary people could understand. Hence, Qi Mo got Yufei and company to contact those people. This was because at this moment, just the fifth corps alone would not be able to do much.
Zhao Hai didn't know how Qi Mo was going to handle this matter. In any case, he had already told Qi Mo about the matter. How Qi Mo handled this matter was his own business. Zhao Hai didn't care about it anymore. What he needed to do was to act according to his own plans. If the Elder Council really dared to deal with Laura and the others, then he wouldn't be polite.
To be honest, Zhao Hai and Qi Mo's friendship was only average. Zhao Hai appreciated Qi Mo, so he had a deep relationship with him. If Qi Mo were to become his enemy, then Zhao Hai wouldn't be polite. Towards his enemies, Zhao Hai would never be polite.
Zhao Hai wasn't worried at all. He sat calmly in the Heaven's Secret Building, studying the books in the Desolate World. The books in the Desolate World could be said to be a kind of transformative jade slip. The storage method inside was the same as a jade slip. It was because of this that Zhao Hai was very interested in these books.
From these books, one could clearly see the development of the Desolate Race over the years. Their arrays had already developed to a very high level. There were all kinds of arrays that emerged one after another. Furthermore, the requirements for arrays were very detailed. What kind of arrays were used for, what kind of arrays could be used in combination with other arrays, and what kind of arrays could be used in combination with other arrays. These were all studied very thoroughly.
Zhao Hai only understood after reading the Desolate Race's array books that the arrays they used before were too general. For example, offensive arrays, trapping arrays, etc. These arrays were very simple and general. However, the Desolate Race's arrays were very detailed. Even for offensive arrays, offensive arrays of the same attribute would be divided into different types. If one wanted to use these arrays, then they would need to use a combination array. When combining arrays, there would be an indirect array in between the two arrays. This indirect array didn't have any offensive properties, it was only used for synthesis.
If the arrays used by Zhao Hai and company in the past were mainly like a saber or a shield, then the refined arrays were like a gun or an armored vehicle.
In the past, Zhao Hai and company only used arrays as augmentation devices. It was like adding alloys to steel, making the saber sharper. As for the Desolate Race, they used these artifacts as components. Then, they used these components to form weapons. This was not the same as the difference between a cold weapon and a hot weapon. It was like cavalry against armored vehicles. The difference was too great.
To be honest, such things really fascinated Zhao Hai. However, what he was more concerned about was what was different about the Desolate Race's battleship.
The Desolate Race's battleship was extremely large. Zhao Hai was certain that the Desolate Race's battleship was different from the large artifacts they used. If not, the Desolate Race's battleship would not be so powerful.
Other than these things, Zhao Hai was also concerned about the battleship manufacturing factory, the mecha manufacturing factory and the Fey Armor manufacturing factory. These few factories could be said to be the entire Desolate Race's arsenal. As long as these few factories were destroyed, the Desolate Race's combat strength would be greatly reduced.
Other than these factories, Zhao Hai placed the focus of his reconnaissance on the headquarters of the various large family clans, especially the 18 large family clans. Now, the Desolate Race was under the control of the 18 large family clans. If a war really broke out, the 18 large family clans would be destroyed first. Then, it would be an unimaginable blow to the Desolate Race soldiers.
Although Zhao Hai said that he would let Laura and the others have some fun, in fact, he had already begun preparing for the war. This was because Zhao Hai could tell that there would be a war between him and the Desolate Race sooner or later.
Just as Zhao Hai was studying the Desolate Race's arrays in the Heaven's Secrets Tower, the Desolate Race had also made their move. An invitation was sent to the Heaven's Secrets Tower. The person who sent the invitation was not someone Zhao Hai was familiar with, but a servant of the Yu family.
Zhao Hai took the invitation that looked very exquisite, but it had a feminine vibe to it. He noticed that the people who were invited were Laura and the others. It also indicated that it was a ladies' gathering.
Zhao Hai handed the invitation to Laura and the others and said with a smile, "Do you see it? They're finally making their move. They're inviting you. Hehe, interesting. Go and see what tricks they have up their sleeves. "
Laura smiled faintly and said, "If it was me, they wouldn't play any tricks during the first banquet, because that would only make you suspicious. If they really wanted to deal with us, or if they wanted to use some kind of method to make you stay, then they wouldn't assassinate us. Instead, they would find a way to ruin our reputation and make you hate us. This way, they can send another woman to become your woman and then use that woman to control you." Laura smiled faintly and said, "You're right. You're right.
Zhao Hai's eyes flashed coldly, then he snorted and said, "It's best if they don't do that. If they really do, then I won't let them off."
Laura smiled faintly and said, "If they really do that, then it's not only you who won't let them off, we won't either. This is because the methods they use are more hateful than killing us."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "In short, you need to be careful. Go." Laura and the others nodded and then went to prepare. Zhao Hai looked at their excited expressions and smiled.
That night, Laura and the others sat in the Eight Cyan Jade Carriage to attend the banquet. Just like what Laura said before, the banquet was very normal. Moreover, there were only women present, there weren't any men present. The banquet was very lively and there were no accidents. After the banquet was over, Laura and the others returned to the Heaven's Secret Pavilion.
Zhao Hai looked at Laura and the others and smiled faintly, "How was it? Did you have fun? "
Laura nodded and said, "I had fun. But Brother Hai, I discovered a problem. They used some spice in the banquet."
Zhao Hai stared, then he frowned and said, "Spice? This is worth paying attention to. What kind of spice did you notice? "
Laura nodded and said, "I noticed it. It should be a special spice of the Desolate Race. This spice seems to have a slight aphrodisiac effect."
Zhao Hai's eyes turned sharp, then he said, "You mean, they used this spice to scheme against you?"
Laura nodded and said, "That's possible. I also praised their spices a few times. They immediately gave me a big bag of these spices. It seems like the use of these spices isn't simple. It seems like they couldn't wait to give us these spices." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's possible.
Zhao Hai said, "Enter the Space and send it to the Universal Analysis Machine to analyze the spice's composition."
Laura and the others nodded, then they followed Zhao Hai into the Space. Laura took out the bag of spice and placed it into the Universal Analysis Machine.
The Universal Analysis Machine flashed a few times before a voice was heard, "This is a spice made from Infatuation Grass. When lit alone, it has a slight aphrodisiac effect. When a person encounters the fragrance of the Lover's Flower, it will produce a spiritual toxin. This spiritual toxin can cause people to hallucinate, making them think that the person in front of them is the person they love the most. Moreover, without an antidote, the person will never wake up."
When Zhao Hai heard the analysis of the machine, his face turned cold. Then he said, "If this spice isn't lit, will it have any effect?"
The Universal Analysis Machine replied, "Yes. Although the effect is only half of what it would be if it is lit, as long as it encounters the fragrance of the Lover's Flower, there will be a reaction."
Zhao Hai coldly snorted and said, "Good, it's as you said. Hateful, they actually dared to scheme against you. I will make sure that they die without a complete corpse."
