Even though the Wizard Li tribe's war of conquest had only lasted for less than 40 days, they had personally participated in this foreign world's cold weapon battle with a strong magical color and personally experienced the hardships of having only one night of sleep every seven to eight days. Their usual rest depended on closing their eyes for a short nap during the march.
It was a miracle that the Shrimp World No. 2's explorers' will did not collapse without the support of divine power. This kind of training naturally made them change a lot when they looked at some problems.
For example, at the same time that they were afraid of the Hellfire tribesmen, the explorers, especially the Earthlings, had a faint sense of superiority as a member of a higher civilization. However, now that the indigenous warriors had cooperated with their partners in the war, the ferocity they displayed.
It was an unfathomable spell cast by the warrior leader who had mastered the ability to cast spells.
The Hellfire civilization's unique cruelty, belligerence, sacrifice, and other factors had long made this superiority disappear without a trace. This was also the reason why they did not rest right away even though they finally had three days of respite. Instead, they gathered together for a discussion.
Zhang Lisheng did not know what the others were thinking. After he walked into the tree house, he smiled at the explorers who were sitting on the ground around a few braziers piled in the shape of petals. Looking refreshed, he sat on the empty seat on the animal skin carpet and joked, "Looks like everyone's more energetic and physical than me. We finally have a chance to rest, but we're having a meeting."
"Doctor, actually, we also want to fall asleep right away, but since there's a three-day truce, we still have a lot of time to rest. If we don't straighten out some things, we'll be awakened by nightmares even if we fall asleep," Harman forced a smile.
When he was speaking, the CIA agent's teeth, which were completely opposite to his skin color, shone brightly in the firelight. However, the worried look in his tired eyes showed that his mood was not as relaxed as his expression.
"Other than tiredness, I feel that everything in the Wizard Li's war of conquest is very smooth. What's there to have nightmares about, Mr. Harman?" The young man was stunned for a moment before asking in puzzlement.
"It's precisely because of the smoothness of the Wizard Li's war of conquest that I'm worried, Doctor," Harman replied with a solemn expression. "We found that the Hellfire tribe is extremely aggressive. I'm worried that the Wizard Li tribe will pose a threat to the US after unifying the Hellfire Archipelago."
"Oh, Wizard Li is just a small indigenous tribe. Even if they have some strange and strange means …"
"Doctor, Wizard Li is not a small indigenous tribe but a religious dictatorship country with a territory of 130 square kilometers." Harman interrupted Zhang Lisheng's words and said worriedly, "At the same time, it's also a precision running 'war machine.'
When those supernatural creatures called spiritual monsters cooperate with the Hellfire people, their combat power is not inferior to the army of any powerful country on Earth. Not only that, but they also have the spirit and steel-like willpower that no army on Earth has … "
"Don't be so nervous, Mr. Harman. The Wizard Li tribesmen haven't even unified one-tenth of the Hellfire Archipelago yet …"
"However, the momentum of their rise seems to be unstoppable now. According to the current situation, it's only a matter of time before the Wizard Li tribe conquers the entire Hellfire Archipelago. After unifying the archipelago, their nearest strategic target will be New York."
"New York …" As the overlord of Wizard Li, Zhang Lisheng had never thought of attacking Earth. For this reason, when he heard that Harman was not only shocked by the powerful strength of the Wizard Li tribe but also had a persecutory delusion that New York would be attacked, he could not help but smile in astonishment. "This is ridiculous! Oh, Mr. Harman, I don't mean to offend you, but the Hellfire people and the mainlanders have a deep-rooted hatred.
Even if the Wizard Li can really unify the Hellfire Archipelago, their next target of conquest can only be the mainlanders. "
"Doctor, the mainlanders of the Shrimp World No. 2 are indeed the most likely target of the Wizard Li tribe's conquest after conquering the entire Hellfire Archipelago, but don't forget that New York is only less than 100 nautical miles away from the Wizard Li Island. Nobody can be sure that it won't be invaded by the Wizard Li tribesmen. Don't forget that the US gathering place on that island has been massacred by the Hellfire tribe before."
"Okay, Mr. Harman. Even if such a situation really happens," Zhang Lisheng opened his mouth, but he could not say that he could guarantee that the Wizard Li would never attack Earth. After pondering over it, he smiled at Someril and shrugged. "Do you think that the army will lose this war with an ally like Atlantis and the various advanced military weapons that the federation has mastered?"
"We've already discussed this issue, and the conclusion is that of course not. However, if this war really happens, the casualties and losses may be something that the federation can't afford."
"All of you have been discussing this boring question for the entire afternoon?" Zhang Lisheng asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"This is not a boring question, Doctor. As intelligence personnel, we must analyze and judge no matter how small the possibility is …"
"Mr. Harman, it's because of the analysis and judgment of your CIA intelligence officer that we've spent hundreds of millions of US taxpayer's money to cultivate the first extremist terrorists in the Middle East." The young man did not want to continue the topic on this impossible issue, so he turned to Someril and said, "Madam Someril, I heard from the choresmen that the mainlanders' fleet has been found in the Red Mountain Harbor.
Mr. Sweltman's guess is correct. The Scorpion Island's native tribe does indeed have a trading relationship with the mainlanders. "
"The mainlanders' fleet?" The Atlantean woman's spirit lifted right away. "How are they now?"
"They've been detained. Due to the amazing performance of you, Mr. Guteali, Kazanoerki, Kazanona, Captain Nordick, and his elite warriors in the Scorpion Island's conquest battle, my voice in the Wizard Li tribe has become a little louder …" Zhang Lisheng smiled reservedly.
"Was it you who ordered the Wizard Li warriors not to hurt the mainlanders on Scorpion Island?" Someril naturally understood the hidden meaning in Zhang Lisheng's words. Immediately, she said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Doctor. The Atlanteans will remember your sincere friendship."
"This is just a small matter, Madam Someril. So what do you plan to do now? Do you want to go to the Red Mountain Harbor to see those mainlanders or do you want to continue staying in the frontline?"
"I plan to let Travis and McCardy go to see those mainlanders and translate their language first." The Atlantean woman seemed to have already considered it thoroughly. Without hesitation, she replied, "Guteali, Kazanoerki, and Kazanona will stay in the frontline and continue to help the Wizard Li people in the battle three days later.
Sweltman analyzed that the various civilizations in the Shrimp World No. 2 have already matured in order. Only by relying on the Wizard Li tribe as the foundation can we understand the truth behind the fog in the shortest time. The more we pay now, the greater our harvest in the future. "
The true face of the 'world' could only be peeped at by the superior. The more resources a person had, the more 'truth' they would know. This was an inevitable truth in any society. Someril vaguely pointed out this point, so naturally, Zhang Lisheng immediately nodded in agreement.
For this reason, the two linguists of Atlantis took the airship to the Red Mountain Harbor early the next morning, while the other Atlanteans stayed behind.
According to Zhang Lisheng's proposal, it would be best for the three burdens, Alison, Harman, and Pocky, who could not help much in the war, to withdraw to the rear. However, the federal intelligence officers had a rare unanimous objection. They insisted on staying in the frontline so that they could obtain first-hand information as soon as possible, rendering the young man speechless.
Just like this, after resting for three days, the explorers followed the Wizard Li army that had recovered its full combat power and continued to embark on the journey of conquest. At this time, the Scorpion Island's foreign tribes had already united to form a tribal alliance with astonishing strength. Both sides easily invested millions of warriors in the battle, causing the expedition to become even more tragic.
However, with the help of the elite armed forces, each of them had a 'war partner,' and more importantly, the divine power that Zhang Lisheng gave after he transformed into the 'god,' the Wizard Li expeditionary army had always firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield.
As the pace of conquest grew further, Zhang Lisheng gradually felt that his' divine power 'began to make a breakthrough. The gains that he could give in the war slowly rose to another level. Other than the 5% increase in strength, agility, physique, and 20% increase in willpower that every Wizard Li tribesman had, the temporary comprehensive gains obtained by the Wizard Li warriors during the battle had increased from 15% to 20%.
This sounded like an increase of only 20%, but in the war, it meant that the Wizard Li warriors could pierce the foreign tribesmen's bodies more accurately and powerfully.
The Wizard Li warriors could send the enemy flying when they collided with each other.
The Wizard Li tribesmen could persist longer when they were injured. A gap of 20% was sometimes an insurmountable gap of life and death.
Not only that, but Zhang Lisheng also gradually realized that his divine power had begun to restrain the spellcasting of the foreign tribe's spiritual monsters.
The essence of the power of the two guardian spiritual monsters of the Hellfire tribe, the mountain spiritual monster and the sea spiritual monster, had been mastered by the young man, so it was only natural that they were restrained. Not only that, but this restraint was not obvious now. When he was experimenting secretly, he would often have to consume a lot of power of faith to offset the spellcasting of a newborn spiritual monster. However, the significance of this matter made Zhang Lisheng ecstatic.
Unfortunately, even though there were so many advantages, the battle on the Scorpion Island still inevitably became more and more difficult. After paying the sacrifice of nearly 300,000 people, the Wizard Li tribe finally occupied the entire body of the giant scorpion, leaving only the scorpion head that occupied one-fifth of the island's area to resist stubbornly.
At this time, the remaining foreign tribes on the island, the nearly eight million aborigines, no matter what kind of blood feud they once had, had finally united.
The alliance of eight million Hellfire tribesmen meant that they could mobilize nearly four million capable warriors and more than 3,000 guardian spiritual monsters if they were fully mobilized. Such a strength could send chills down one's spine. For this reason, when the news reached Zhang Lisheng's ears, the young man chose to slow down the pace of the war.
