After deciding to use the system protector to pretend to be his parents and continue to deceive people, Yifei went to the fortress in Wolf City alone and began to think about what to do next.

Although he has won the Yuwen family once, he knows that the fundamental crisis has not been solved. Now his enemy is the vast Yahua Empire, and the Yuwen family is just one family in the Yahua Empire.

Through the war with the Yuwen family, he found that the enemy's strength was far stronger than he imagined, especially the puppet warriors sent out by the enemy, whose strength far exceeded the strongest troops under his command.

Those puppet warriors who look like Titans and Archangels, even if they evolve fortress soldiers into hero soldiers and have special hero bonuses, they are still weaker than them in terms of individual strength.

The only thing that can kill them is to borrow the bonuses of battle formations and combo skills, but both combat skills and combo skills have a time limit, and they don't last very long!

Thankfully, this time there were only a few terrifying puppet warriors in the enemy army, and they were victorious before the bonus was gone! But what about next time?!

In the war that had just ended, the commander of the enemy army still ran away, despite his careful cutting off of the enemy's rear route, then the enemy must have understood his methods.

With the lesson of the last time, if the enemy comes again next time, I am afraid it will not be on the same scale as before. If they send an army of purely terrifying puppet warriors, then things are in trouble!

Thinking of this, he decided to take the initiative to burn the war to the Eastern Continent, which would not only prevent the enemy from invading the Western Continent and destroying the market here, but also take the initiative.

That is, he can fight a war of attrition with the enemy in the area he has set.

He knows it very well. His biggest capital is the system, as long as he has money, he can recruit a steady stream of armor soldiers. As long as the enemy has no time to take care of this side and does not affect his financial resources, he can rely on his own advantages in the designated place. Slowly drain the enemy's strength. After all, if they don't have a system, one will die and one less!

Thinking of this, he made a decision in his heart, no longer completely concealing the city on the Eastern Continent, and showing a limited trace of himself to attract the attention of the enemy.

Take advantage of the terrain and props over there to fight an offensive and defensive battle with the enemy in a designated area!

But before that, he had to strengthen his own strength, because he didn't know if the enemy had any unknown means. Come to think of it. He opened the system, checked the strength he had now, and began to think in his heart.

Now he has 114 Legion Commanders, 16 Normal Heroes, 9 Special Heroes, 9 Special Sub-Heroes, plus the 100 Demon Wolf Guards.

Special heroes and special secondary heroes do not increase the number of recruitable soldiers, as the number of system armies available under your command is around 7.7 million. Excluding the special sub-heroes sent to the Demon Yuan Continent, more than 50 demon wolf guards and more than 500,000 special soldiers, the number of soldiers available in his hands was only about 7.2 million.

And some of the 7.2 million soldiers were left behind in various cities

Although the situation on the Western Continent has stabilized at present, all families are also showing goodwill. But no one can guarantee that over time. Will they have any different hearts?

In order to avoid emergencies, there are still some troops left here, so at least one or two legions must be left in each city, that is, an army of about 100,000 people, to ensure the safety of the city. In particular, Wolf City, Chang'an City, and White Curtain City are the top priorities. There are more soldiers to stay behind.

Therefore, with the increase of territory, the number of idle soldiers in his hands is no more than three or four million.

Three or four million soldiers seemed to be a lot, but in the face of the huge Yahua Empire, with the previous experience of fighting with the Yuwen family, he knew very well. This little force can only protect itself. It is impossible to completely defeat the other side.

Thinking of this, he became more clear about what to do next, that is, to fight a long war of attrition with the enemy under the conditions he had set, and to get more legions to be formed; At the same time, he strives to improve the level of the fortress, and once his own civilization surpasses the opponent too much, even if the quantity is not enough, he can make up for it with quality.

He knew very well that once he upgraded the fortress to 4 stars, entered the Age of Technology/Biology, and entered the Age of Cold Weapons to the Age of Hot Weapons, he could completely crush any force on this continent. But the premise is that he can hold out until that time, and not be killed by the enemy before entering the era of hot weapons.

And if you want to not be killed by the enemy before the era of hot weapons, you must strengthen your own strength.

Thinking of this, he said in his heart: System, count the current means that can immediately improve the strength of the empire.

As his words fell in his mind, a dialog box popped up in front of his eyes.

[Registrar: Your Majesty, the current means that can immediately increase the strength of the empire are: scientific and technological research and development, soldier evolution, war beast cultivation, and special hero recruitment. 】

Looking at the content in the dialog box, Yifei pondered for a while, looked at several solutions given by the system one by one, and found that the most useful was scientific and technological research and development.

With his current level, the most useful thing in scientific and technological research and development is the research and development of various materials, which can make the soldier's armor stronger and the weapon sharper, which indirectly enhances the basic attributes of the soldier. In particular, the research and development of special materials in science and technology allows him to develop weapons and arrows with special attack power, so that soldiers are no longer afraid of the enemy's super war puppets.

However, scientific and technological research and development not only takes time, but also requires special authority points and opportunities.

Because only with enough special permission points, he can build all the science and technology colleges prompted by the system; At the same time, when the opportunity is encountered, a military research and development center can be built.

After all, the use of special heroes is too wide, which can not only strengthen the efficiency of various internal affairs, but also improve the output of the empire, and also enhance the strength of soldiers.

Yifei compared it in his heart, and decided to recruit the special heroes that could be recruited after the fortress was upgraded to two stars first. In that way, you can get a few more combination skills to deal with various emergency situations.

With only two combined skills of Sun Wu, Wu Qi and Bai Qi in his hands, he didn't dare to guarantee whether he would be able to cope with the enemy's large-scale attack.

Thinking of this, he thought in his heart, now that he can recruit nine special heroes and nine special sub-heroes, he must think more about recruiting those heroes this time.

The special secondary hero is just to add some additional soldiers to attack and defend, which can be said to be the icing on the cake, but the significance is not very great, and it is not too late to recruit depending on the situation, and the special hero is very important.

Thinking of this, he looked at the nine special heroes he now had in the system interface, and recalled in his mind which historical celebrities had compiled them into a combination in the evaluation of later generations. For example, what a few ministers, what a famous general, what something.

After thinking about it for a while, he asked the system in his heart: The system, can Lin Xiangru generate a combination of skills?

In his impression, Lin Xiangru and Lian Po are very related in history, such as what is guilty of Jing and will be compatible. But he wasn't sure if there would be a combination between him and Lian Po after Lin Xiangru was recruited, after all, this kind of association was different from the "Four Generals of the Warring States" and "Sun Wu's Art of War".

As his question fell in his mind, a dialog box popped up in front of his eyes.

[Registrar: Host, special heroes are beyond the control of the current system, please find out on your own!] 】

Looking at the prompts given by the system, Yifei suddenly remembered what the system had told him before, the system was not familiar with the matter of special heroes.

Before, he thought that the system was fooling him, but he didn't expect that the system really couldn't control the affairs of special heroes! Thinking of this, Yifei couldn't help but become a little solemn, the system couldn't be mastered, so he couldn't waste the opportunity.

Do you want to recruit Lin Xiangru?

PS: I'm so sorry for this late!
