"Attack the Crimson Land? Why wouldn't I? "
Li Mochen couldn't help but frown, "This shouldn't be Michael Wood's idea, right? It's not that he doesn't know our current situation. It's also his suggestion to sit back and watch. Or has he changed his mind now? "
"Major General Michael Wood hasn't changed his mind, but —"
When Eliza said this, she looked out of the window with a strange look.
Just 23 days ago, their armistice agreement with Philip I had expired.
But the strange thing was that the other side didn't immediately declare war on Xuri Construction and Kang Xiuli as Li Mochen had expected. The situation in the City of Atlanta had always been balanced.
But the other side didn't seem to be willing to give up. Philip I, the three Margaret siblings, the Howard family, and the Benedict family had always been in a state of readiness for war.
At this time, there were as many as 12 senior mercenary groups gathered in Atlanta. The total number of members was not large, only about 900 people, but all of them were top-level high-level combatants.
Only about 30% of them were hired by him and Kang Xiuli. It was self-evident where the rest of the members belonged.
After careful consideration, Li Mochen's staff advised him to give up the preemptive strategy.
On the one hand, continuing to delay was indeed beneficial to them. Li Mochen's Xuri Construction benefited from the nutrients provided by the Dragon Witch Cult and was thriving like mushrooms after the rain.
The establishment of six armored regiments and three mechanized infantry brigades allowed Li Mochen to consolidate the foundation at the bottom. A total of 50,000 private armed forces and up to 40,000 security personnel distributed across the country could make them completely fearless in a head-on battle.
Eye of the Sky Howard Eisenhower, Nature's Punisher Dainian Stussy, Magical Sand Spear Carmella Natasha, Brigadier General Wallace Clayton, and others had made breakthroughs on the Legendary path. The addition of retired generals such as Brigadier General Moro Ravis, Brigadier General Doehring Goldthorpe, and Major General Kevin Sarillo had made them even more powerful.
Due to the abundant financial resources and the prominent record of defeating the Dragon Witch Cult, there were now as many as 29 legendary experts under Xuri Construction.
Few people could refuse the invitation of Xuri Construction. This rising consortium had an unparalleled advantage when inviting those legendary powerhouses who intended to quit the mercenary world or the military world.
Xuri Construction gave him power and status, a salary that was at least 20% higher than the current average level, and the divine right of life and death that Li Mochen controlled could make those middle and senior legends willing to work for him.
In particular, there were as many as four former agents from the former Soviet State Security Committee.
This even alerted the CIA, FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security. After a strict security review, Li Mochen used some personal connections to get these people to pass the test.
On the other hand, Li Mochen's strength was also improving day by day. At least in Alisa's view, if the other side waited for another three to five months, Li Mochen might be able to enter the legendary realm.
Also, the government also didn't want the City of Atlanta to be in turmoil.
Although the national and local elections had ended three months ago. However, whether it was the Atlanta Citizen Party or the Conservative Party, they all hated this large-scale dark war that would involve most of them.
At this time, no matter who fired the first shot, the government would lose points and would be targeted by several law enforcement agencies.
Therefore, many senior commanders, including Major General Michael Wood and Sampson Brut, generally believed that the other side was waiting or preparing for something that could help the other side win the war.
However, the strength and foundation of Li Mochen's side were also growing rapidly, so there was no need to rush to war.
Therefore, the current situation was that their enemies were mobilizing their troops and dispatching their generals; Li Mochen had no choice but to recruit troops and buy horses, ready to fight.
But this also led to the situation in the Holy Stone Fortress into a stalemate. A total of four armored regiments and two mechanized brigades were gathered in this fortress, but they could only guard the Dry City. They couldn't even conquer the two mines abandoned by Nathan Group.
"But the situation has changed. Michael suspects that the vampires are secretly building a large military fortress in the Rocher Canyon. It's very likely that it has already reached a certain scale. He is going to launch a reconnaissance fire to see what is going on. "
Hearing this, Li Mochen couldn't help but be slightly moved.
The Rocher Canyon, named after an explorer three hundred years ago, was the most important entrance and exit of the 'Crimson Land'. Once this place was sealed, they would have to take a detour. But in this way, their logistics line would be overwhelmed, and there was the risk of being cut off at any time.
"Must we march there?"
Li Mochen opened the battle plan that Michael Wood provided. "Can't we send a few Legends to investigate?"
Lynd Imus could do it. He only needed to look from afar.
"He thinks that there is a top Illusionist on the other side! Also, this is likely a trap set by our enemy, with the purpose of luring our high-level experts to go there, "Eliza frowned.
Eliza furrowed her brows. "He believes that this offensive operation can also be considered as a test for our enemies. He will stop when it's appropriate, and he will do his best to ensure our strength so that we can leave the battlefront of the Dark World at any time. "
Li Mochen carefully looked through these documents. After a long time, he closed the folder again without saying anything.
"You don't have to worry about this matter. Soon, I will personally go to the Dark World to take a look, and then …"
His gaze then fell on Eliza's right arm, which was wrapped in bandages.
She smiled bitterly and untied the bandages layer by layer. "I've let you down. The fourth attempt at fusion failed. Ammo, am I very useless? "
At this moment, the arm that was revealed in front of Li Mochen was pure black, a completely mutated form. It had seven fingers, which were covered in hair like a gorilla, but there were scattered dragon scales. There were also some parts that were completely rotten, or had pustules growing on them.
If an ordinary person saw this, they might be disgusted to the point of vomiting. But after looking at it, not only did Li Mochen not change his expression, his eyes were instead filled with joy.
"This is already a great improvement. I guess you can succeed next time. But you still have to find time, forget it … "
He originally wanted to ask Eliza to spend more time on personal training. But when he thought about how most of the things she had to deal with every day actually came from him, Li Mochen immediately stopped talking. "Why do you think you're useless? In terms of fusion rate, even the Collingson brothers can't compare to you. "
"Really? You're lying! "
Alisa stared at the man in front of her with a dubious look, then she made the judgment that he was fooling her.
Over the past six months, Li Mochen had collected a total of six sets of Moshra Biomass Gear. He gave them to her, Lee Tae-lai, Sampson Brut, Thompson Adams, and the Collingson brothers.
Li Mochen also provided them with an additional method to use their External Elixirs to devour the power of Calamity Dragoness Adrianna and the other Apostles.
But now, Eliza Targaryen was the one with the worst progress.
