After failing to kill Claudel Van Zhuo, Li Mochen returned to the Rocher Canyon.
Major General Michael Wood and many other commanders had already set up a temporary command center here, and many generals were gathered here.
"A total of 1,342 people were killed, and 3,600 people were slightly injured. They were mainly from the defense troops of the artillery position. Before the boss arrived, they were under the greatest pressure —"
"32 people outside the law died in battle, and 17 people are missing. Although they didn't run away, we still decided to issue a wanted order for them."
"A total of 175,000 tons of various materials were seized. Basically, we don't need them. The undead's supply system is different from ours. There are even 10,000 tons of blood bags. The only thing that was useful was the Magic Stones. There are a lot of them, worth 1.2 billion gold duns. "
"However, we found a large number of ores in various mines, and various metal ingots stored in the smelting plant. There are more than 200,000 tons in total, and the preliminary estimate is 9.7 billion gold duns. They don't seem to think that they will lose this war, so they didn't transport these materials and the various mining equipment in the mines in advance. However, the equipment is very backward. They use all kinds of undead, so there is almost no labor cost. Of course, we already have many necromancers, so we can do the same. This is just a superficial report. We will hand over the detailed statistical work and follow-up arrangements to Xuri Mining Company. "
Almost everyone was looking at Li Mochen with curiosity, awe, and admiration.
They chose to join Xuri Construction because they had no choice but to do so, and because of the various favorable conditions provided by Li Mochen.
Now, they had truly pledged their allegiance to this organization and respected their employer from the bottom of their hearts.
Today's scene had truly shocked them.
A total of six demigods and dozens of legends were killed under the interference of Li Mochen's Theocracy of Life and Death! The whole process took less than 10 minutes.
This was even more glorious than a few years ago when Anthony Braden defeated the two supreme families alone!
The strength of their boss was not inferior to Anthony Braden. Just today, Li Mochen had shown four kinds of theocracy.
Before this, Li Mochen also showed two theocracies of ice and fire in the conflict with the Medici family. There was no doubt that he was on par with the richest man in the world!
There was no doubt that Xuri Construction had a bright future. This was a group that they could devote themselves to after retiring.
The only thing they regretted was that they didn't contribute much in this battle. At the beginning of the fierce battle, Li Mochen arrived in time and made the final decision.
After the various departments reported the casualty figures and statistics, Major General Michael Wood took over the role of presiding over the military conference.
"The next battle plan is to clean up after we enter the Blood Red Highlands. We'll clear out the towns established by the undead and the Blood Tribe and occupy the nearby mines that have already been developed. This would be completed by the 29th Armored Regiment of the Wildunstan Foundation, the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Armored Regiments of the Rising Sun, the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade, and the Ice Death Corps. Considering the previous battle, the Earl of Gautin's troops have been transferred, this is a very easy task. "
"Our next strategic focus is still the Rocher Canyon. My idea is to choose the best terrain to build two fortresses at the entrance and exit of the canyon. The scale will be a medium-sized fortress that can accommodate 50,000 troops and a small fortress that can accommodate 20,000 troops. This 500-kilometer-long canyon will be completely under our control. In the future, this will also be the throat of the Blood Red Highland and the most important passage between the Blackstone Plain and the Ghost City. "
"Under the mediation of the President's Special Envoy, BOSS has reached an agreement with our enemy. The agreement is that those below the legendary rank don't need to participate in the battle. But we can't expect the enemy to abide by the agreement. We all came from the army, so we should know that the government's guarantee is not a big deal. If Xuri Construction is destroyed because of this, will our President really uphold justice for us? "
His words caused everyone in the command center to sneer in tacit agreement.
"So these two fortresses must be built within a month. This will allow us to use our abundant military power in the Light World. Fortunately, our boss has foreseen this and has already placed an order with the Wildenstein Construction Company for building materials, design, and construction a month ago. In addition, because the previous two fortresses have not started construction, we have a ready-made construction team and a large number of materials, which can save a lot of time — "
"In addition, there is the task of forming a reinforced mechanized division and two armored regiments. Because the two mines around the Holy Stone Fortress have already produced, there are a total of nine developed mines and four large-scale dark creature farms in the Rocher Canyon and the exit of the canyon on the Blood Red Highland. It is estimated that this will bring our company an income of 3.5 billion gold duns per month, so the group has the conditions to expand the army. Of course, the specific matters of forming a new army will be handled by BOSS and the personnel department, but each department needs to be prepared to transfer some manpower. "
While Major General Michael Wood was speaking, Li Mochen was distracted.
He was inspecting the harvest of this battle. Although he did not stop during the whole process of the battle. But he had already accepted the things left behind by the demigods. Under his control, the small dragon's vein moved quickly. As soon as the "Shadow Scar" was opened, the sacred weapons and space equipment automatically fell into Li Mochen's hands.
The vampires of the Devil Party were very poor in the eyes of outsiders. They were usually unable to run a normal business and had always been the main target of various governments. But this was the situation hundreds of years ago. Ever since the two major races of the Devil Party established the Blood Wings Grand Duchy in the Dark World, they rarely had to worry about money.
Although they could not get much cash in the Dark World, they had enough sources of materials. Plus the income from those illegal businesses in the Light World, it was enough to cover the expenses of the Devil Party. And these long-lived vampires did not lack skilled alchemists.
So Li Mochen's harvest this time was very good. The seven demigods alone left him 29 sacred weapons, none of which was lower than a third-level sacred weapon.
In addition, the direct troops under Alisa's command also helped him clean up the entire battlefield.
At that time, at least 52 Legends of the Blood Kindred died directly because of his "Life and Death Interference". According to the rules, the spoils of war left behind by the Blood Kindred also belonged to him.
Unfortunately, the battlefield was too chaotic at that time, and many things had gone missing. After all, Li Mochen's foundation was still shallow. Most of the outsiders he hired had worked under him for less than half a year. And people's hearts were unpredictable. Not everyone among them could be honest and trustworthy. These people could fight bravely in the face of ten or even twenty powerful vampires without flinching. But when sacred weapons worth at least 80 million gold shields fell in front of them, it was difficult for these people to suppress their greed.
But Alisa still collected 32 sacred weapons for him, and there were also more than 30 quasi-sacred weapons.
It was worth mentioning that among the 61 sacred weapons, six of them were at the fifth level. They were all very powerful equipment. In particular, the cloak left behind by Errome Guimet was a quasi-mythical weapon. It was called "Iron Cloak" and was made from "Night Essence Divine Gold" and a kind of "Divine Meteorite Iron" from the Kingdom of Gods.
After carefully sensing it, Li Mochen did not hesitate to throw it to Wildenstein's alchemy laboratory far away in the City of Atlanta, and handed it over to Abraham Wildenstein to deal with.
In addition to the ultimate metal magic domain, this thing had four kinds of advanced magic domain abilities, all related to defense. Its own defense was also exceptionally strong. Its extra sturdiness was almost equivalent to two layers of demigod dragon scales. It also had a certain transformation ability. Not only could it change into armor, cloak, coat, and so on, but it could also change according to the shape of the owner's body.
What was surprising was that even if it was stretched into the shape of giant or dragon armor, its defense would not be greatly reduced.
The only thing that made people unhappy was that the armor and coat leaned towards the style of darkness and vampires. Moreover, it required blood energy to activate to its fullest potential.
Li Mochen felt that this equipment was very suitable for Hazel. After completely inheriting Calamity Dragon Lady Adriana's strength, Hazel had already grasped the ability to transform into a dragon.
This allowed her to transform into a true dragon, possessing more than twice the strength of her human form, as well as the destructive flames of destruction. She could also summon a large-scale Calamity Rain of fire.
This state was of limited use against real Demigod powerhouses, but if it was used on the battlefield, it would be extremely destructive. The only worrisome thing was Hazel's ability to resist attacks. The defense of the red dragon's dragon scales was only above average among their brethren.
But before that, he first had to modify the magic array of the "Iron Cloak" and make it more suitable for a dragon bloodline arcane master. Furthermore, the appearance of the cloak was also a must.
As for the Wildenstein Alchemy Laboratory, the alchemy department of the Wildenstein Corporation, it had been completely taken over by Kang Xiuli some time ago.
Around two months ago, Kang Xiuli's most trusted cousin, Abraham Wildenstein, had resigned from the Wildenstein Medical Charity Foundation. He was appointed by the board of directors to take charge of the most important department of the Wildenstein Corporation, as well as the corporation's equipment research and manufacturing company.
It was also at that time that Li Mochen first learned that there was such an outstanding person in their family.
His great cousin had great achievements in both alchemy and medicine. Especially in alchemy. Abraham was a great alchemist and had successfully created nineteen pieces of divine equipment. He even played a part in Kang Xiuli's magic tower. In terms of medicine, he was also the most famous surgeon in Atlanta. He was also a member of the National Medical Examination Board of America. Only eighty top medical experts in the entire country had the honor of holding this position.
But before this, Abraham Wildenstein had always kept a low profile. He only served as the director of a charity hospital under the Wildenstein Medical Charity Foundation and only showed his talents in the medical world.
It was only when Kang Xiuli completely took over the Wildenstein family did he lead a large group of people and three top laboratories to lead all the research and manufacturing departments of the Wildenstein family.
It was only then that the world learned that Kang Xiuli actually managed such a powerful alchemy and equipment manufacturing team.
After knowing this, Li Mochen felt very regretful. If he had known this earlier, he would have brought Abraham to his Rising Sun Biopharmaceutical Company to study the Moshra's biological implant technology.
Abraham Wildenstein's identity and scientific research ability might be more suitable than Professor Gu Hong's.
He didn't mind sharing the biological implant manufacturing technology with Kang Xiuli. He only hoped that this technology could mature as soon as possible.
In fact, that was what Li Mochen did. Over the past six months, the reason why he was able to put 12 Legendary Grade Biomass Gear into use consecutively was because of Abraham's contribution.
Based on some of the technical information they shared, Abraham gave a lot of useful suggestions, which saved Rising Sun Biopharmaceutical Company a lot of trouble.
From this, it could be seen that Abraham's alchemy and technical ability were indeed top-notch. It was easy for him to modify the 'iron trench coat'.
After that, Li Mochen even threw most of the 61 pieces of Saint Artifact Equipment over as well.
These holy artifacts also had the same problem. On the one hand, they were not suitable for humans and other races. They needed to use blood energy and even needed to suck human blood. On the other hand, their appearance was very unsightly, so they had to make some modifications.
On the other hand, there was a problem on Anthony's side. He had to freeze most of the time. The alchemy laboratory of the Wildenstein family just happened to meet his needs in this regard.
Their alchemy and equipment manufacturing level was certainly not comparable to that of the Light and Magic Industry, but the gap between them had not reached the point where it was impossible to make up.
This was the common practice of almost all the large families in America. They would rather bear huge losses in order to support a team of highly skilled alchemists who were at the forefront of the times.
Not only did they have to ensure that at least 30% of their top-level equipment and cutting-edge potions did not need to be purchased, but they also had to achieve mass production to avoid being controlled by others in this regard.
Therefore, to judge whether a family was strong or not, one only needed to look at their alchemy team to know. When a family fell behind in alchemy, it often meant that they were heading towards decline and decline.
It was the same for the Wildenstein family. Although their equipment manufacturing company did not have much sales, it often meant that they were heading towards decline and decline. Some of the products that the company occasionally sold were still highly respected among magic professionals.
After Abraham joined, the company's alchemy ability and equipment manufacturing level even entered the forefront of all large groups, almost not inferior to those of the supreme families.
“BOSS？ BOSS？”
Just as Li Mochen was cleaning up the spoils of war one by one, Michael Wood's call pulled his consciousness back again.
Li Mochen found that everyone in this conference room was staring at him. He was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was his turn to make a concluding speech.
"First of all, I have to thank everyone! If it weren't for your hard work this month, we would not have had the opportunity to force the vampires to leave the canyon and enter our predetermined position for the decisive battle. This glorious victory would not have happened — "
Li Mochen's eloquence had been well honed when he was in the Original Sky Realm. At this time, he was eloquent and eloquent. With just a few words, he had stirred up the atmosphere in the command room. This caused almost everyone's spirits to rise. Their faces were flushed, and they had an expression of pride and honor.
"— Finally, I have a request for everyone. Take a good rest in this one and a half months, and then prepare for the next battle! As you all know, the current goal of Xuri Construction is to conquer the entire Crimson Land. Hence, after the battle with Philip is over, I will have you all join the invasion of the Blood Red Lands at the first possible moment. And this time, the goal of the battle is to directly conquer Gaoting City! This will be the foundation of Xuri Construction in the Dark World! "
When Li Mochen finished speaking, the generals sitting on the left and right of the long table in front of him couldn't help but look at each other strangely.
They could tell that their boss really didn't care about the battle for supremacy in the City of Atlanta.
…
After the meeting ended, Li Mochen started to deal with the various affairs and dossiers that Alisa had submitted in this temporary command room.
Although the battle in the Rocher Canyon was resolved very quickly, the follow-up matters were more troublesome. For example, compensation for the casualties, supply of materials, disposal plans for the mines, smelters, etc., Li Mochen needed to take care of all these matters. As the leader of the group, he at least needed to know about these matters.
However, not long after Li Mochen's work began, he raised his head helplessly and looked at the 'King of the Void Night' Delfina, who was walking back and forth in front of his desk with an expectant look.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be like this, Delfina. You make me unable to concentrate on the official documents."
Delfina was still hesitant until she saw that Li Mochen's face was getting more and more impatient. Then she gritted her teeth and said, "Can you give me a piece of land in the Crimson Land or around here? I don't want a lot, 100,000 square kilometers will do. "
"You want a piece of land in the Crimson Land, are you sure?"
Li Mochen looked at her suspiciously, "I heard that you have taken a small island from the Bahamian government in the Caribbean Sea? Isn't it doing very well? Many Otherworlders call it their paradise. Moreover, your people are very afraid of the Dark World, right? "
These mutants thought that their mutation originated from the Dark World. Continuing to live in this world would aggravate their physical changes.
The Black Demon Race and the dark races in the Old Continent that originated from human beings had confirmed this point of view.
"Sand Bay Island is very suitable for my people, but our people can't go without food and drink. They also need resources for cultivation. I also have to hire a professional company to fill in the sea and expand the area of Sand Bay Island — all these require money."
Delfina's expression was solemn, "Not all of my people are averse to the Dark World, and some are willing to sacrifice for their people. As for the mutation, it can be solved with medicine. Now there are all kinds of drugs that can inhibit mutation that can be used to alleviate our illness. "
In fact, Li Mochen's Rising Sun Biopharmaceutical had it. In the past, Anthony's father had bought the patent of this drug. However, it was very troublesome to make, and the materials needed for the drug itself were also very expensive. Not many of the Variant Humans could afford to use it.
"Very good idea."
Li Mochen laughed, "But Delfina, this time you have already taken 500 million gold duns from me, and you have also given me three sacred weapons. 100,000 square kilometers of land? Do you know how big this is? This is one-sixth of the entire Crimson Highlands? How many mines are there on it? How many dark creature farms can be built? How much profit can it bring me? How much will I pay for it? Do you think that you can easily take away this piece of land with just a few words from me? "
"The mutants can work for you, and we can establish a relationship similar to a lord and a vassal."
But Delfina's eyes showed some reluctance, "I said, it doesn't have to be the Crimson Highlands. It can be in the Crimson Highlands or near the Holy Stone Fortress. You can lend us the equipment of two brigades, and we can take this territory ourselves. That place is very good — "
As she spoke, she pointed to the map hanging behind Li Mochen.
Li Mochen glanced behind him and couldn't help but laugh.
It was another canyon located in the north of the Crimson Highlands. The canyon had at least 120,000 square kilometers of land, and the east of the canyon exit was a large lake. Generally speaking, this was a resource-rich land that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
However, if the mutants wanted to gain a foothold here, they really couldn't do without the support of the Crimson Highlands and the Rising Sun Construction.
In addition, this shouldn't be Delfina's idea, but the suggestion of some of the mutants.
"Vassal?"
Li Mochen thought to himself that this' Sovereign of Void Night 'had finally fallen into his trap. However, a look of hesitation appeared on his face. "But I still can't see where my benefits lie? Rising Sun Construction doesn't need the mutants to work for us, but for this, we have to bear the risk. Many of you, including you, are on the wanted list of CIA, FBI, and other agencies. It can be said that you have committed a lot of crimes. What's more, I have to pay more than 2 billion gold duns for all kinds of equipment. "
Delfina's face was a little pale, "But you only need to pay 2 billion gold duns and a land that doesn't belong to you, and you can get two armored infantry brigades, more than 20 legendary mutants, and even the security of the north of the Crimson Highlands. The combat power of our clan is world-famous. In addition, I can also promise that all the daily necessities and potions, as well as the sales of ores and magic materials, will be handled by Rising Sun Construction. "
"That sounds pretty good."
Li Mochen thought that there were still some smart people among the mutants.
"But I have to study the feasibility with my think tank. You have to give me some time to think about it. But Delfina, you know what the word 'vassal' means, right? If I agree, then can you ensure that your clan will agree with your decision? As far as I know, many of your people don't — "
"This is my business! I will handle it. "
Delfina interrupted him in a tough tone, "If you have a decision, please inform me as soon as possible. I hope it is within three days."
Li Mochen's eyes were suspicious. This woman, is it necessary to be so anxious? And she even showed it in front of me?
Could it be that something had happened within the Variant Human Tribe?
Just as he was about to investigate further, Li Mochen's satellite phone rang 'at the right time'.
Li Mochen originally wanted to hang up, but after seeing the caller ID, he stood up and said, "Sorry, I have to take this call."
That was Angela's number. The priority of this lover was naturally much higher than the mutants.
When Li Mochen picked up the signal in a place outside the headquarters, Angela Medichi's figure directly appeared in front of him.
— — Although the girl's profession level was still at the level of a high-level mutant, her spirit power was extraordinary enough to cross boundaries and affect the electromagnetic waves here.
Then, Li Mochen found that Angela's state was not quite right.
"What's wrong, Angela? What happened? "
Because the body was condensed from the nearby particles of dust, he could not see the girl's expression. However, Li Mochen could see the panic in Angela's eyes — it was an expression of fear.
"Ammo!"
Angela's voice was mixed with a tremor, and her emotions were clearly in a state of violent ups and downs. "An hour ago, I entered the sealed fifth underground floor of the Wings of Money Building, and then I saw the magic array here —"
As she waved her right hand, countless dust particles around her were attracted by the electromagnetic waves, and an image appeared under her feet.
This should be a 1: 1 comparison of the fifth underground floor of the Wings of Money Building. Unfortunately, the power of Angela's spirit power could only show the structure of the array within a radius of thirty meters.
However, with Li Mochen's level of mageweaths, after just a glance, his pupils had already contracted to the size of needles.
"I don't know what Father wants to do. But I know that in the process, many people will die. Just in Manhattan alone, near the Wings of Money Building, not many people will survive. "
Listening to this voice full of helplessness, Li Mochen raised his eyes expressionlessly. "Angela, does your father know that you entered here?"
"Probably not! I'm very careful. He's now in the Anatolian continent. There's a little problem with the business there, and he brought many of the experts here over. And — "
Angela raised Loki's Deceitful Hand on her hand. "He doesn't know that my Dragon Disciple level has broken through to level 18. My illusion ability can already deceive the two Legends guarding here. "
Li Mochen couldn't help but let out a long breath. "Then I'll teach you what to do, Angela. Now erase all traces and restore everything to its original state. You need to be 300% careful. Your father is meticulous and suspicious, and any suspicion will make him guess what it is. Then go back to Atlanta and pretend that nothing has happened. When you come back, we'll think of a way. I think they should still need time. "
…
Three hours later, Li Mochen once again came to Bethel Estine's Magic Tower with a heavy heart.
Originally, at this time, he should be on the road to find Jennifer Wildenstein. But the scene that Angela showed him made him come here to ask this powerful Mage for help.
"Sure enough!"
After looking at the drawings provided by Li Mochen, Professor Estine sighed. "I've already guessed some of it before, but I didn't expect him to really have such a plan. This guy is crazy. "
"Can you tell me in detail?"
Li Mochen looked at him with a sharp gaze. "I want to know, what is he planning to do?"
Like Angela, he could see that it was a magic array that was destined to cause a huge disaster, but he still knew nothing about the specific purpose of this array.
"The Underworld! They want to build the Underworld in America that belongs to this land. "
Professor Estine tapped his pipe on the corner of the table. "You know, this is the New World. Something like the Underworld exists in the Old Continent, Afrika Egypt, the East and Sindhu, but it does not exist in America. The Mayan God of Death, 'A-Puche', used to control the Underworld. But before the colonists of the Old Continent arrived, most of the Mayan Ennead no longer existed, including Lord A-Puche, who was responsible for leading people to the World of Death. "
Li Mochen was stunned. He was shocked by the generosity of Michelle and the Dragon Witch Cult, but he was even more confused.
"But what good will this do to Michelle?"
"Of course! For example, to let his partner, Angela's mother, become the 'God of Death' of the New World. I've heard that Diana Olivia also has the Divine Right of Death, although her level is very low, not as high as yours. But if her soul is still there, and there is a chance for her to be resurrected, then she is indeed qualified to compete for this position. After all, her illusion ability is almost omnipotent, and can strengthen the Divine Right of Death to a high level. You must have a deep understanding of Angela's talent. She is almost the incarnation of the 'Dragon God of Dreams' Olivia in the human world. "
Constantine said everything he knew, "Working with the Dragon Witchcraft Cult is like asking a tiger for its skin, but I'm guessing that Michelle must have great confidence in defeating the Dragon Witchcraft Cult, their collaborator and competitor."
Li Mochen heard this and frowned, then fell into deep thought.
"You want to stop him?" Constantine asked curiously, "Why? This is very beneficial to you. If Diana Olivia really becomes the God of Death, she will be a strong support for you. With the huge population of America, even ten years is enough to support a Lord God, or a high-level God of Law. This will give you a big advantage in the upcoming War of Gods. "
"Professor, do you think this kind of test is interesting?"
Li Mochen glanced at the other party coldly with a displeased expression.
If he could accept this, then he would not be the Q-Sword Tao Ran who fought against the demons for more than 60 years in the Original Dome Realm.
The former "Divine Firmament Limitless Purple Void Immortal King" was not a pure righteous gentleman, but he was never ambiguous when it came to major issues.
"Alright! It's my fault. "
Professor Constantine apologized sincerely, "But what you can do now is actually very limited. You signed a truce with the Dragon Witch Cult, and now it is the biggest obstacle. But you also don't want to fight with Michelle, right? Even if you don't care about what others and your girlfriend think, Michelle's backlash is not something you can handle. That person is very scary, even I don't dare to provoke her. "
Li Mochen's mood was gloomy. This was what he was troubled about. Just as he was about to go all out and decide the outcome of the battle against his many enemies, he was bitten by one of his own. His feelings were naturally indescribable.
More importantly, he already had many strong enemies.
"Of course, you can also inform the CIB of this information. Although some people are also looking forward to the establishment of the Underworld, our president will definitely stop it. But if that happens, Michelle and your girlfriend will also face a disaster. "
Constantine laughed at this time, "But I can give you a piece of good news, their preparations should not be completed yet, at least half a year."
As he spoke, he conjured a map beside him, "Can you see it? These buildings near the Great Lakes? "
"Pentagram Formation?"
Li Mochen blinked, then his expression relaxed again, and said thoughtfully, "Professor, please speed up the Illusion Dragon Defense. Other than that, I also need to trouble you with something — "
"I don't have any problems on my side."
Constantine roughly knew what Li Mochen wanted to ask and shook his head, "But do you know what you will face if Michelle's plan fails? The president, the New Light Church, the supreme families, the CIB, the Medici family, and even the Statue of Liberty. He will offend a lot of people. Michelle may have already made up his mind to succeed or die, and he doesn't want to live anymore. But after his death, things will not end just like that. "
"Of course I know."
Li Mochen raised his eyebrows, his eyes were filled with arrogance, "If they think they can get something, or take revenge, I will accompany them."
But before that, he still had to confirm Angela's wishes, even though he had made up his mind.
