"The perimeter of Holy Stone Fortress has been completely cleared. We have a huge military advantage. Especially the five Mage Towers and those legendary mages, they played a big role. The dark creatures that are entrenched in the vicinity were almost unable to put up any effective resistance. "
Before Li Mochen left for the Dragon's Tomb, Clark Banfield gave him his weekly report.
"But our casualty rate is still a bit high. Many casualties can actually be avoided. But you know, our army is still relatively inexperienced in terms of tacit understanding and cooperation. It's already being improved. The commander you hired not only has excellent commanding ability, but also does a good job in coordinating his subordinates. "
"Mr. Wade, the CEO of Rising Sun Minerals Company, has already organized manpower and material resources to fully restore the production of the two mines. Most of the mining equipment that Naessen Minerals Company previously sent to the Dark World was not installed in time. They are currently piled up in the warehouse, which is a great convenience for us. Although these equipment are outdated, as long as we spend some money to upgrade them, they can still be used for a period of time. And Mr. Wade's work is very effective. I estimate that he will use at most a month to smoothly produce the two mines. Boss, I have to congratulate you, you have dug up a good talent this time. "
"The few resident hunting groups and mercenary groups in Holy Stone Fortress are ready to increase their investment. Three days ago, they expanded their area of activity to a radius of 300 kilometers. "
"The news of the expansion of Holy Stone Fortress has spread, and many professionals have heard the news and come. It is estimated that the resident population of Holy Stone Fortress will soar in the next period of time by 5,000 to 7,000 people, which will also help increase the tax revenue. "
"— The Earls of High Palace are more conservative than we expected. They have gathered their forces outside of the Scarlet Land in the Rocher Canyon. Currently, they have deployed at least two million troops there. In addition to skeletons, wraiths, zombies, undead knights, vampires, liches, bone dragons, and other undead creatures, there are also a large number of dark creatures. And all of them are elites, with combat power lower than professional level 5, so the next battle is expected to be very difficult. "
"Mr. Conxiuli Wildenstein's information is correct. There should be some problems with the King of High Palace. I have not seen him at the frontlines so far. On the other hand, the Blood Wing Grand Duchy dispatched four princes to the Rocher Canyon. They're obviously very wary of you, boss. They've set up a gigantic magic array over there, probably to resist your Divine Right of Life and Death — "
"Wow, four princes?"
When Li Mochen heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "Aren't they worried that the Blood Wing Grand Duchy will be attacked by the government?"
According to what he knew, the so-called 'Dark Demon Empire' in the Dark World was actually a 'country' formed by hundreds of dark creatures, including the Black Demon Race, undead creatures, mythical creatures, and many other forces.
There were quotation marks here because rather than calling the Black Devil Empire a country, it was better to call it an alliance to fight against the humans.
This was because although the various races of the Black Demon Empire saw the Emperor of the Black Demon Race as their ruler, the latter actually did not have the authority of a true monarch.
In particular, those powerful forces existed in the Black Devil Empire in the form of vassals and did whatever they wanted within their territories. Li Mochen's current enemy, the Blood Wing Grand Duchy, was one of them. The Earl of Highcourt in the Crimson Land was one of the Earls under the Blood Wing Grand Duchy. He was the most powerful vassal of the Blood Wing Grand Duchy, occupying one-twelfth of the territory of the Grand Duchy. Moreover, due to the large number of mineral deposits, the territory was fertile.
It was worth mentioning that research had proven that the Black Demon Race actually originated from humans. They were a race born from humans staying in the Dark World for too long and their bodies had completely mutated.
The difference between them and the Mutated Race was that their bodies and souls had completely mutated. They had completely integrated into the Dark World and become a kind of dark creature.
Secondly, their origin was even more ancient, originating from the Native Americans of America.
The Black Demon Race was very powerful and could be said to be second to none in the Dark World. The territory under their direct jurisdiction, as well as the numerous vassals nearby, were all territories that the America Federation could not covet.
"Unfortunately, although the Federation Army has plans to attack the Blood Wing Grand Duchy. But their combat plan has not been approved by the President. "
Clark Banfield spread his hands, "Some people in the Congress are trying their best to prevent them from doing so. The faction of the Minister of Defense, Lieutenant General Daniel Boone, and Mr. Anthony Braden have many enemies. The President is also inclined to attack the Blood Wing Grand Duchy and clean up the threat of vampires, but he must maintain the unity of the party. So now, they are looking forward to our progress. If Xuri Construction can gain a foothold in the Crimson Land, I think the war between the Federation and the Blood Wing Grand Duchy will be natural. "
"Let's try our best —"
Li Mochen sighed. He was somewhat worried. With the strength of Xuri Construction, it was impossible to fight against the entire Blood Wing Grand Duchy.
However, Lieutenant General Daniel Boone and others did not cheat him this time. Xuri Construction was able to expand to the scale of six armored regiments and two mechanized infantry brigades in a very short period of time because of the call and support of the Minister of Defense and other military leaders, so that they did not have to worry about the shortage of soldiers. Anthony Braden's Light and Magic Industry also spared no effort to provide him with a lot of heavy equipment.
In addition, although the military has not made any big moves so far, they have deployed nine regular divisions and many demigods in the Blood Wing Grand Duchy to help him contain most of the forces of the Blood Wing Grand Duchy.
"So Michael Wood is still going to act according to the established plan, right?"
"It should be, boss. The result of the military discussion is to maintain the previous plan and prepare to build a fortress near the entrance of Rochelle Canyon, but —"
Clark Banfield paused, "They seem to be preparing to increase the budget again, boss. Major General Wood plans to build another fortress, and at the same time, purchase 24 'Holy Spirit Annihilator' with a range of more than 1200 kilometers. This is a 900 mm Magic Fortress Cannon with an 80 times diameter. The price is more than 2 billion gold duns, and the Light and Magic Industry has it in stock. Further detailed plans are being formulated — "
Li Mochen smiled bitterly again. He roughly understood Michael Wood's plan. He intended to use heavy artillery fire to force the army of the Count of Gauting to withdraw from the canyon or come out to fight with them.
This could avoid a strong attack and erase the opponent's terrain advantage, but the cost would be very high. The purchase price of 'Holy Spirit Annihilator' was 2 billion gold duns, but the price of their shells would be 10 times that.
But Li Mochen did not hesitate to issue an order to the finance department of Xuri Construction to approve the funding application submitted by Michael Wood in advance.
In the next few days, his main body was going to the Dragon's Tomb, and his sub-body was also making mythical equipment. He did not have time to wait for the application from the security department.
Just when Li Mochen was about to end the report, Clark Banfield spoke again, "boss, as far as I know, the White House is looking for a special envoy to come to Atlanta to mediate the dispute between you and the Count of Gauting."
