Chapter 828: Before the War (1)
The news from Green Forest was getting worse and worse. Machinery life conquered the city and expanded in Green Forest like mold. However, the gods still descended a lot of forces and defended tightly. At the same time, many heroes appeared in various countries, temporarily blocking the offensive of Machinery Life.
But it is not optimistic, because the magic tower in the north has a bit of a slightest viewing.
However, on the Arcane Empire, only Xia He and his family were nervously preparing for war. The little nobles did not have the strength. After all, the viscount baron and others could have hundreds to one thousand troops in their hands. These troops usually protect the territory. When war was needed, they would concentrate their soldiers on the great nobles they were loyal to. If they were directly under the royal family, they would fight with the royal army.
It would be a bit of a pitfall to expect the little nobles to fight against the enemy themselves. Although the army under these little nobles is also a domineering person when they go to the low-level world.
As for the great nobles, the marquis and dukes basically have different worlds as their foundation. The troops in their hands are definitely not just the empire's land. The real army is fighting and conquering in other worlds.
If an army is needed, they do not need long-term training. They can adapt to the war in this world by summoning them back for short-term training.
Unlike other nobles, Xia He sent all the earliest elite troops to the Taiyin World. If Rhode Island hadn't been Golden Egg, he would have echoed the underground world and would not have left three legions. On the New World, he drew out the elite troops and cultivated new elites, and then immediately drew them away without hesitation.
Anyway, in the clearing work of the New World, some nobles under their command and the goddess of wealth also joined the feast.
Yes, because of His Majesty the Emperor's method, the demon clan was destroyed before it broke out, and the contact with the demon world was cut off. The half-plane of Xiahe was not disturbed at all. The trap of the drifting temple was wasted.
So Xia He was anxious to drive away the power of other temples. When those forces were defeated and other local nobles were driven away, the goddess of wealth officially came on stage.
Not only the goddess of wealth, Xia He also allowed the believers of the other two goddesses to join in.
For the Goddess of Wealth, war can indeed increase her power in the short term, but only peace is a long-lasting thing.
She followed Xia He's advice, and even the believers of Qian didn't care much. They mainly focused on transactions and provided wealth contracts.
This would have no effect on royal power and other things, and she would not be noticed.
Xia He doesn't really care about the belief of the Goddess of Wealth. The Taoist Palace also needs the Goddess of Wealth. If the Goddess of Wealth refuses to surrender, they can only leave this world and go to other places to develop.
Although I lost my freedom to be a god for the Taoist Palace, my safety has also been greatly improved.
Who dares to bully the gods in the Taoist Palace? If you provoke one, it is equivalent to provoking a large nest, and there are a large number of Taoist priests and immortals behind it.
The gods who believe in the enthronement of gods will have a war of gods, and they are also coveted by many higher lives.
There are many gods that fell in Green Forest this time, and every dead god is unique and there is no background behind it.
When the believers of the three goddesses arrived in the New World, the pressure on Xiahe was greatly reduced. The only elites were in the Tower of Heaven, and the rest of the place didn't matter. Anyway, the more the demons killed, the fewer the more they killed.
Xia He is going to prepare for his troops and concentrate on dealing with the Meriffin family.
This new duke had also had a marquis before and had a very deep family background. The Merryfin family still has a large number of worlds as support, and it is unknown how much time it will take to destroy it. However, this is also the only target that Xia He can do directly, and the rest of the great nobles have people behind them.
The Merryfin family was attracted by the emperor before, but there was no one behind them.
The reason why Xia He was anxious to build all four expeditionary legions was of course to solve the world of the Meriffin family. There were only two field legions in the main world to keep an eye on it, with enough manpower and many legendary strong men in charge. Don’t worry about the Meriffin family fighting desperately.
In fact, the legends in the main world are much stronger than those in the other world, and can completely rush into thousands of troops and unparalleled, just like mowing grass. However, the will of the world has a great impact on the legend. Unless it is like Shen Zhou, the Nine Dao Palace replaces the will of the Taoist Sect to the world, and Taoists can play whatever they want in their own world.
Although the Taiyin Immortal Palace does not have the Daluo Golden Immortal, it is not weak. However, because it lost the earliest opportunity and could not be on par with the Nine Dao Palaces, the will of the Taoist Sect gave them less blessings, which means that the shares were not as good as the Kunlun Dao Palace. In addition to being able to fight equally at the beginning, it was also suppressed and beaten.
Xia He was eager to develop in the Taiyin world because there, the will of the sect of the Taiyin Immortal Palace itself had replaced the will of that world.
In the Taiyin world, Xia He can attack ordinary people at will without any backlash.
This is the power of the Taoist sect. After occupying a world, it begins to assimilate the will of this world and slowly turn the world into the home court. If the enemy wants to invade? I, a golden immortal, can destroy all of you.
Of course, the Golden Immortal is not that idle, and usually just send out appropriate forces to crush it.
The cost of dispatching the Golden Immortal is also quite high.
Xia He was also a little worried. Although he had decided on a strategy and recruited soldiers and horses, the Arcane Empire is not peaceful now. His Royal Highness promoted the method of finding the son of the law, which was to use the illusion array to test. In the empire, thousands of sons of the law were captured and executed.
However, this kind of illusion array is at least medium-sized, with complex calculation formulas, and it consumes a lot of energy, so it is impossible to give the empire's more than one billion people aside.
Well, although there are only a few hundred million people who pay taxes to the royal family, the nobles still have a large number of people who do not pay taxes to the royal family, which adds up to more than one billion.
You see, the nobles are so annoying, weakening the power of the country.
For example, the Divine Zhou Empire, all occupied worlds belong to the empire and there is no state of being divided by local forces.
In the Tower of Tongtian, Xia He repeatedly calculated the required power in his hand. There were absolutely no twenty in the world of the Merryfin family, otherwise he would have been the Grand Duke. More than ten, less than fifteen.
Now there are eight who have mastered the coordinates, and only two can attack immediately.
To attack such a world, you need to use the power of thunder to directly dispatch four expeditionary legions, and then equip twenty ordinary legions. Such a huge army arrangement requires extremely huge logistics.
The logistics forces in Xia He's hands are all scattered in the army, and each squadron has its own logistics team.
However, this kind of cross-world expedition without Rhode Island as a direct support, can only use the semi-plane to hoard materials, and the real big logistics will be placed in the semi-plane. After the main legion has passed, it will open the semi-plane in another world and transport supplies. This is also a common method used in the magic world.
This is also a way to bully the weak. Before dealing with the demon clan, no one was willing to use semi-plane to transfer.
Although the value of the other world is far higher than that of the semi-plane, no wizard is willing to contribute.
The half-plane that the Goddess of Wealth knew was unusable. Xia He fought in other worlds and did not want to bring the Goddess of Wealth unless she defected to herself and became a Taoist god.
However, the Temple of Doom is OK. The Goddess of Doom can take charge of the underworld in the future. A true Taoist master is comparable to the existence of the Heavenly Court.
Fortunately, the main world has an overwhelming productivity. I have improved my planting factory and the number of alchemy factories is enough. Otherwise, even if I become a duke, I would not be able to start a war. Just look at Museus and I will know that if I give him more than 100,000 people, I will make this son of the Law cry out.
If it weren't for his identity, Moushis would have become his most determined ally now.
The reason why Xia He handed over the captives to Museus was because he did not need real allies, because in the end, he would conquer the entire main world. Even by that time, the main world had fallen into an ordinary big world and his status was replaced by the Taiyin world.
The mass-produced materials were sent to a new semi-plane. Xia He did not dare to touch Jennifer's plane. He was afraid that the emperor would still monitor him. When Jennifer died, he did not tell anyone about her semi-plane position, but just gave it to Xia He. Xia He still kept the book she gave in his hand, and he was reluctant to use it, and just wanted to use it as a souvenir.
Jenny's half plane, if it was not necessary, he would not want to move.
Let it exist there and don't be disturbed.
Of course, if his materials are insufficient, he might transport the wood that can create chaos barriers. Where is the stock enough for Xiahe to conquer many worlds.
Now he has a lot of money on hand, so he is not in a hurry.
Xia He does not have a high demand for magic raw stones. Taoist sect has its own consumption method, which is jade. The formation arranged with jade can extract deep space power more efficiently, which is much higher than magic raw stones. Moreover, the jade is stable and magic raw stones are somewhat dangerous.
Xia He stored a large number of magic rough stones in the semi-plane, and built an alchemy factory, arranged a large number of mechanical workers, construction workers, and smart mechanical life.
The semi-plane is a production workshop armed to the teeth, storage warehouses, and used to transfer materials.
He also designed an open planting factory and arranged elemental suns in the semi-plane to make grain production faster.
Logistics, Bairi Pills were finally eliminated and replaced with Shiri Pills. The support time was not that long, but with some simple food, the body can keep its body normal without too much damage.
The eliminated Bairi Pill is just not given to the soldiers of the army, but it still has sales. It is good to feed magic creatures, which is very cost-effective. Xia He has opened up a way to make money, although his army eliminated magic creatures as mounts.
