Goblin Slayer World, Base 0, Conference Room.

All the development leaders gathered here, and everyone had a smile on their faces, and they had just received the news that the forcible killing plan had succeeded.

The last two targets, the Church of Tranquility Vice-Bishop Beric and Chancellor Ornest, have been killed, that is, the portal is expanded to complete the mission.

The Eastern Xia Empire can start preparing for the arrival of the army, and there is no need to be like before, because the portal is too small, the main force of modern warfare such as tanks, planes, missile vehicles, and infantry chariots cannot enter the world of slashing red pupils. It can only send a small elite force like the Pioneer to enter, carrying a large amount of heavy firepower, but it still can't suppress the high-level powerhouses of that world.

In particular, the number of wounded in this battle plan surprised all those in charge, and the total number of wounded in the Pioneer troops was close to 152 in this battle, and each of them either had a broken hand or a broken foot. Some were even almost cut in half, and the wounds of each person were generally 3 centimeters deep.

With an injury of this magnitude, an ordinary person would have died long ago. In other words, the strength of the pioneers has reached the second level, and their physical fitness surpasses that ordinary people can survive. Coupled with the eaux-de-vie purchased from the elves, these pioneers did not die.

At the same time, fortunately, the military department spent a lot of money to hire more than 100 great magicians from the elves and came to base 0 for two days. It is precisely because of these great mages that they have prepared all kinds of high-level healing magic that the pioneer troops have no death toll.

At the same time, these 100 elven archmages who were in charge of treatment were also shocked by the wealth of the Eastern Xia Empire. They knew that the empire had a huge amount of materials that they could not have imagined, but they did not expect the empire to be so rich.

The price for the Eastern Xia Empire to hire these great mages is that a great mage can be stationed at Base 0 for one day, and can get materials worth thousands of gold coins.

1000 gold coins?!

A lord's income in a year is not 1000 gold coins, or even 500 is too much. Even in a city with extremely developed commerce and tourism, such as the City of Water, the total annual income is only 20,000 gold coins.

The elven foot magicians, who didn't pay much attention to money, had to admit that they were moved. There's so much that can't be given. As long as you go to Base 0 and sit down, you don't need to take any risks at all, and you can get supplies worth 1,000 gold coins, which is no different from pie in the sky.

At first, the great magician of the elven clan was suspicious of the Eastern Xia Empire's offer of such lucrative conditions, and suspected that the empire had some ulterior conspiracy. Because in their opinion, giving and getting are not right at all, and it can even be said that they used to take money directly.

However, after the Eastern Xia Empire gave a table of resources to choose from, all the great magicians immediately put their concerns behind them and rushed to sign up.

Food, wine, beverages, all kinds of delicious food, spices equivalent to gold, all kinds of crystal (glass) products, steel, basic scientific knowledge, ......, even now, the great magicians can't help but sigh when they see this table.

At first I refused, but they gave me too much.

Especially when they saw that there was magical knowledge called science on the table, all the great magicians lost their minds in an instant, and it didn't matter to them that they had knowledge at all. Every Grand Magician has an extreme thirst for knowledge, otherwise they would not be able to become a Great Magician.

At the same time, the great magicians of the elven clan were also very puzzled, they couldn't figure out why the Eastern Xia Empire would give them such powerful knowledge. Aren't you afraid that they will use this scientific knowledge to become stronger?

In this regard, the Eastern Xia Empire said: The empire respects knowledge and pursues knowledge. Knowledge is meant to be imparted, not collected. Only by learning knowledge for more and more people can we create more knowledge and let us have more and better knowledge.

As soon as these words came out, they instantly slashed the favorability of all the great magicians of the Ten Kingdoms, although they generally do not pass on the magical knowledge they have developed to others, but it does not prevent them from showing respect to the missionaries of knowledge.

However, the Great Magicians didn't know that after he had learned the scientific knowledge given by the Eastern Xia Empire, they had fallen into the palm of the Empire's hands.

Science is different from magic, and it is different from the one-size-fits-all approach to magical knowledge. The fields involved in science have unimaginably vast amounts of knowledge. And after these great magicians have studied science, they will surely be fascinated by this vast and subtle knowledge, and then want to learn more.

Grand Magi: I need more science.

Eastern Xia Empire: Sorry, but further scientific knowledge is a secret of the Empire and will not be given to outsiders.

Archmages: ......

At the same time, although the Eastern Xia Empire did not directly give gold coins, gold coins were originally only a currency used to buy items. Selecting supplies directly and buying them with gold coins is actually no different for them, and they are even more inclined to pick materials directly. Because it is bought with gold coins, it is easy to be cheated by those cunning and black-hearted merchants.

At this time, virtual screens appeared in front of the person in charge, and the pictures inside were the battle footage recorded by the tactical helmets of the pioneers, which was doubled up.

The people in charge were silent, watching the battle carefully.

An hour later, the video of the battle was played.

The heads of various departments thought that they had overestimated this group of high-class powerhouses, and thought that the pioneer troops should be able to suppress them with all kinds of frantic heavy firepower. But I didn't expect the battle to be so fierce, especially Estes.

Although Estes's strength has not yet reached the information given by the system, the final battle is the kind of one person who creates a blizzard that envelops the entire continent. But it should be about the same, and it can be seen from the battle video that Estes carried almost all the bombardment by himself.

The most surprising thing for those in charge was Estes's terrifying control, which could control thousands of ice spikes at once to defend against the drones that were constantly attacking around him. At the same time, the ability to completely freeze laser-guided missiles from the inside out was also very surprising to the people in charge.

After watching the intelligence, it was their turn to report on their preparations.

Li Anguo, the head of the military, stood up and took the lead in reporting: "It is expected that the Third Legion, which entered the world of slashing the red pupils, has returned to the base of the Zero Rear yesterday, and now all the soldiers have taken the language mushroom, and they are expected to wake up at 2 pm tomorrow." ”

After Xia Xuan, the emperor of the empire, began to take charge of the development corps, the Eastern Xia Empire changed its previous posture of gentleness. Ignoring the kings of the Ten Kingdoms, the Eastern Xia Empire directly sent a large number of troops to the major cities. For the cleansing of the cults that have arisen within the Ten Kingdoms, no matter what your identity is, as long as you join the cult and become a believer in the evil god, you will be shot directly.

In just a few days, the heads of the ten countries that were killed were rolling, and everyone in the ten countries really saw the indifference and iron blood of the Eastern Xia Empire at this moment.

Li Anguo controlled the tablet in his hand to bring up the world map of the world of the Crimson Pupil, and then a virtual flat map appeared in the center of the meeting.

This map is said to be a map of the world, but in fact it only shows the continent ruled by the Empire. Of course, the Pioneer forces also collected some of the so-called maps of the unknown continent, but they failed to confirm their authenticity.

"Through the various information collected by the pioneer troops, the military department decided to open the portal here after careful analysis." Li Anguo tapped the tablet in his hand twice.

In the next moment, a pillar of light rose from one of the plains of the large flat map in the center, marking the [Canal Plain].

[Canal Plain]: Named after the Grand Canal opened by the Empire, the largest plain in the Empire, with a total area of 390,000 square kilometers. There are many rivers and lakes, close to the sea, transportation is developed, there are few mountains, and the terrain is very flat.

It is also the largest grain producer of the Empire, accounting for 60% of the Empire's grain output.

"The terrain here is flat, which is very little obstacle to the march of our army, and it is possible to quickly occupy the entire area with tanks and armored vehicles. At the same time, it was also the transportation hub of the empire to the outside world, and the empire built many roads here, connecting the frontiers, the western countries, and the nomads (foreign peoples). ”

"When this place is captured, the Third Army can carry out a full occupation of the major cities of the entire empire through these avenues."

"It's just that we have a problem now, and as a result of this operation, most of the Trailblazers have temporarily lost their combat effectiveness."

Subsequently, Li Anguo transferred another casualty situation of the pioneer troops.

"The death toll of the Pioneer forces in this operation was 0, but 2/3 of the Pioneer troops were severely damaged. Although with the help of high-level healing magic and various healing potions, the wounded Pioneer's body has largely healed. But due to the injuries of the Trail Blazers, most of them have broken hands and feet, and the newly grown hands and feet need to be retrained. ”

"A large number of personnel of the pioneer army were unable to participate in the battle, which directly led to the next military operation of our army, and the interception ability of high-class powerhouses was greatly reduced."

Faced with this question, everyone fell into deep thought. They knew that the blocking ability that Admiral Li Anguo was talking about was not the blocking ability of a head-to-head confrontation.

Head-to-head, these high-class powerhouses are like papier-mâché in front of the firepower of modern armies. It is simply an artillery brigade of the Eastern Xia Imperial Army, which can blow up a strong man of Estes' level on a frontal battlefield.

Of course, the premise is that this kind of high-level powerhouse does not have the ability to move that cannot be locked such as spatial teleportation.

What the Eastern Xia Empire feared most was this group of high-class powerhouses, playing assassination and guerrilla warfare with them like night raids.

At this time, Zhao Dezhu, the person in charge of the arsenal, smiled slightly and said: "Regarding this Admiral Li, our arsenal has long prepared a new armored vehicle for the 3rd Army Corps. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Dezhu put the information he had prepared on the virtual screen.

A new virtual screen appears with a huge "truck" inside. The truck had no wheels, but was equipped with tracks similar to those of a tank. The outer layer is heavily armored, with a huge Gatling on its back, and a variety of sophisticated detection instruments, such as the newly developed large thermal imaging sensor.

All the people in charge stared closely, and the huge Gatling on the truck became more and more familiar.

Then everyone pulled the corners of their mouths, speechless, isn't this the close defense artillery on the fleet specially designed to intercept supersonic missiles?!

Zhao Dezhu, you really can cover it, and you actually treat these high-level powerhouses who move extremely fast as supersonic missiles! You're such a clever little ghost!

"This is our arsenal, and it is an armored vehicle specially developed to deal with high-level powerhouses, called the Truth Armored Car."

"The Truth armored vehicle uses a turning-tube rapid-fire cannon short-range defense weapon system assisted by weak artificial intelligence in the sky. At the same time, it is equipped with radar, optical, infrared tracking systems, and large thermal imager sensors. Moreover, in order to prevent the depletion of ammunition in our arsenal, we specially installed an ammunition compartment for him. ”

Zhao Dezhu, the person in charge of the arsenal, kept turning over various data and experimental videos.

"The battery used 11 30 mm caliber rotary rapid-fire guns with a maximum firepower of 12,000 rounds per minute, or about 180 rounds per second. It can instantly form a huge firepower network, and cooperate with various precision detection instruments on armored vehicles to carry out devastating blows to high-level powerhouses. ”

"The most important thing is that the maximum firing range of this turret is as high as 5,000 meters, as long as these high-level powerhouses dare to appear, the truth armored vehicle will definitely let him know what is called within the range, and the truth is everywhere."

"No matter how fast they move, they will have nothing to hide in front of my Truth armored vehicle." Zhao Dezhu, the person in charge of the arsenal, had his white teeth completely exposed, and his expression was unusually kind.

Li Anguo frowned slightly, and at a glance he saw the shortcomings of this Truth armored car, the target was too large, the movement speed was too slow, and the armor was too low. This armored vehicle is simply a target on the battlefield, and even a single soldier with anti-materiel weapons can crush it.

Then Li Anguo immediately reacted, although this weapon has no effect on the modern battlefield, it is simply a slaughtering machine in a world with a very low level of technology such as Slashing the Crimson Pupil.

Although some of the scientific and technological weapons in the world of Scarlet Pupil have reached the level of three battles, there are very few such weapons. And it was all forcibly manufactured by the fashion doctor himself, and a complete production chain was not formed at all.

Even their automatic rifles were made in the laboratory of the fashion doctor. Dr. Fashion has only barely made a production chain, and only 20,000 bullets can be produced per year.

The Western countries, which are vigorously developing science and technology, are still stuck in the era of World War I, and the use of gunpowder guns is not as advanced as the empire's science and technology.

Therefore, there is no weapon in the Crimson Pupil World that can penetrate the armor of the Truth armored car, and it may be that those high-level powerhouses have a way. But before they could get closer, they were already sieveed.

180 rounds per second of 30 mm large-caliber bullets can beat them to minced meat.

The other people in charge thought that the biological research department was crazy enough, but they didn't expect the group of firepower maniacs in the arsenal to be so frustrated.

After solving the problem of the raid of the high-class strong, Li Anguo recounted the general plan of how the Third Army would occupy the empire.

Next, other responsible persons also reported on the situation of their areas of responsibility and their own suggestions.

Everyone took a fancy to Xia Xuan, who had been sitting on the main seat without making a sound, waiting for His Majesty to make a decision.

"Admiral Li Anguo," Xia Xuan turned to the strategy of how to appease the people.

"The minister is here," Li Anguo stood up and gave a military salute.

"The world of the Scarlet Pupil is different from this world, there is no so-called god in that world, and it will be the second home of Great Xia."

"There is no need to adopt any gentle strategy, after the capture of a city, military control is immediately imposed, and anyone who dares to resist will be killed."

"At the same time, all the churches of tranquility in the city were sealed off, and all the clergy were imprisoned."

Xia Xuan didn't want to see any uneasiness, even if the essence of this Peaceful Church was good, but they controlled too many people's hearts. If the Church of Tranquility secretly instigates the people to revolt, with the influence of the Church of Tranquility, it is likely that most of the people of the empire will rise up to revolt.

If there had been a rebellion, it would have killed a lot of people. Not the people of the Eastern Xia Empire, but themselves, the blood will flow all over the land in an instant.

Great Xia has always emphasized authority, and the authority of the ruler cannot be offended. The Bactrian people marched in protest, and the rulers suppressed it at best. However, the people in the world of Slashing Crimson Pupils are not Great Xia people, as long as they dare to resist, the army will slaughter all those who resist.

"The lords, nobles, and officials were all arrested, and then their incriminating evidence was searched and dealt with in accordance with the laws of Eastern Xia."

The other responsible persons heard this article of the imperial nobles in silence for half a second, with their knowledge of the country. Almost every one of these nobles was stained with blood, and what they did was unconscionable and inhumane. If it is really dealt with according to the laws of Eastern Xia, each of them will be divided by capital punishment, and it is no longer as simple as shooting.

"This is the second home of Great Xia, I don't need rebels, I don't need surrenderers, I only need surrenderers." Xia Xuan said in an indifferent tone.

"Either become a part of Great Xia, or become one of the white bones under the iron hooves of Great Xia."

"Yes!" All those in charge stand up at the same time, clenching their right hands into a fist and placing them in their hearts. "I am willing to dedicate everything for Great Xia, all for Your Majesty."

…………

Day 2, 3 pm.

In the square where Base 0 had been prepared for this operation, a large army was assembled. Tanks, armored vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, mechanized infantry, military trucks...... All kinds of steel monsters gather together to form a torrent of steel.

This is the Third Army of the Eastern Xia Empire's development army, this time the vanguard army.

The 3rd Army Corps for this operation had an armored division, a mechanized infantry division, two artillery brigades, three motorized infantry brigades, totaling 60,000 people.

This 3rd Legion, which is specially prepared for the world of Slashing Crimson Pupils, accounts for almost half of the number of development legions. Among them, the mechanized infantry division was transferred by Xia Xuan to the Third Military Region and opened the portal.

"Soldiers, you will next travel to a new world that will be the second home of Great Xia." Xia Xuan's majestic voice was clearly transmitted to each soldier's headset through the communication channel.

"Go there, step on everything that stands in the way of Great Xia, and open up a second home for Great Xia. Many people will die in the process, and your hands will be covered in blood. ”

Xia Xuan's flat tone slowly became high.

"But! This is the vocation of the Great Xia soldiers, and the Great Xia soldiers have never been a glamorous profession. We are a bunch of executioners who abandon humanity, we are a bunch of demons who bring slaughter, we are a bunch of destroyers of other civilizations! ”

"Then you may kill men, women, old people, and even ignorant children! Your hands will be covered in blood, and the land you walk through will be ablaze! Later in life, you may feel guilty about what you are going to do next! ”

Xia Xuan's high voice calmed down, and he continued in a flat tone.

"But there are some things that someone has to do. There are sins that someone has to bear. All the years are quiet, and someone must carry the weight forward. ”

"You are the heroes of Great Xia, please bear the sins of Great Xia and continue to move forward and open up a better living space for Great Xia."

"Mission begins."

Swish!

In the next moment, a spatial portal with a height of 227 meters and a width of 236 meters appeared in front of the Third Legion.

All the soldiers of the Third Legion clenched their right hands into fists and placed them in their hearts, and shouted: "I am willing to sacrifice everything for Great Xia, all for Your Majesty!" ”

Boom Boom!

With a roar, the torrent of steel, known as the Third Legion, began to move, surging towards the massive portal.

On this day, a civilization called Great Xia came into this world; On this day, a torrent of steel swept the whole world; On this day, all the nations were crushed by the iron hooves of Great Xia;
