Putting down the phone, Yang Zhenghua felt a little uneasy.

In addition to leaving 5,000 ghost puppet troops to establish a defensive line on the eastern front and monitor the movements of the unknown force from a distance, more than 40,000 ghost puppets belonging to the foreign guard force were transferred to the western front for development, and with the progress of the colonization, the strength of the foreign guard troops became more and more huge, and now the number is close to 100,000.

This rapid expansion inevitably brings with it a fair share of hidden dangers.

For example, most of the demon puppets were pulled to the colonial front after only a simple training;

For example, a considerable number of demon puppets are newly subdued, and their loyalty has yet to be tested, making the troops not so stable;

For example, compared to the scope occupied by the company today, these 100,000 evil ghost puppets are still too few, and the scattered forces in many newly developed areas have not yet been completely eliminated......

At this time, the company is in a period of rapid development, and all hidden dangers are covered up under this rapid development, but once there are any unexpected twists and turns, it is possible to break out in an all-round way.

The company is well aware of this.

Just half a month ago, Yong Bowen presided over a general meeting of the company's middle-level and above cadres, and even Yang Zhenghua, who was far away on the front line of the westward expansion, and other commanders of the foreign guard troops were transferred back to the company's headquarters to attend the meeting.

At this meeting, Yong Bowen emphasized the hidden dangers of the company's current existence, and pointed out that the company's expansion was too fast some time ago, and it has reached the point of indigestion.

Long before Li Ruiliu's troops encountered the fire dragon riders on the banks of the Ghost River, the pace of westward expansion of the foreign guard troops had been suspended according to the spirit of this meeting, so there was a move by Li Ruiliu's troops to build a bridge over the Ghost River, otherwise in the past, these things were done by the follow-up troops, which would make their advance troops waste time on the heavy work of repairing bridges and paving roads.

To be honest, the company's decision made the commanders of the foreign guard forces a little unhappy.

Nowadays, if the whole company wants to say which department is the fattest, it is naturally the outer guard force.

When other departments were still working hard to promote construction and development, the foreign guard troops were already making a lot of money.

Yes, the places that are robbed now are all relatively poor earth demon kings, but they can't stand to grab a lot, and the accumulation of small amounts is also considerable. With the company's salary subsidy in one hand and extra money in the other, there is nothing more enjoyable in life than this.

But with a word from Yong Bowen, everyone's chances of making a fortune were immediately greatly reduced.

A large part of the mages commanding the demon puppets in the outer guard force are the association combat mages brought by Yang Zhenghua.

Yong Bowen has a thin foundation, and as soon as he got home, he spread out such a big stall, and there was no one at hand - those students who graduated from the technical academy are not of great use now, and they are basically in the process of practical learning - they are stretched thin everywhere, and in this external development, they can only rely on these combat mages who have some combat experience in the mage association. In fact, these battle mages have never seen any major battles, let alone command any troops, they are just pulled out of the big ones. Now all of them are tens of thousands of senior commanders under their subordinates, and the arrogance of this identity does not feel trembling, and they forget the eagerness to seek to join the Yongbowen company, only feel that if the company does not have them, it is impossible to have such a big foundation today, and the remuneration given by the company is really not matched compared to their merits. Is it just the salary offered by the company?

There is a way that people's hearts are insufficient, and there is nothing more than this.

Of course, on the other hand, the main reason for this is that Yong Bowen started too quickly, and after the company was established, there was no too eye-catching expression, so it was naturally impossible to convince these battle mages who were originally from some backgrounds.

Even those employees who were recruited later and who had completed the training of the technical college also felt that Yong Bowen, the boss, was good, but he really didn't have any respect.

It's absolutely impossible for a good old man to get a big mess.

Therefore, after the company issued an order to suspend the expansion of the west, the commanders of the foreign guard departments were a little disobedient, and they kept complaining to Yang Zhenghua.

Yang Zhenghua was also unwilling to stop the smooth sailing expansion like this, but he still remembered that the company was Yong Bowen's, and he couldn't disobey the company's orders too obviously, so he still pressed his old subordinates.

However, things changed after the news of the Fire Tree Dynasty spread.

There is a unified dynasty in hell!

What does a unified dynasty mean?

A large army, a large population, a vast land?

Neither!

In the eyes of a group of battle mages, it only means more wealth!

Especially with the reconnaissance of several small towns on the border of the Fire Tree Dynasty by Li Ruiliu's Tongguò automatic reconnaissance plane, the wealth of the Fire Tree Dynasty far beyond those demon kings in the western wilderness has been completely confirmed.

It literally made those battle mages red-eyed.

It's like a hungry wolf that sees the fat in his mouth, but can't bite it.

Don't mention the uncomfortable energy, and the noise became more and more intense for a while.

Yang Zhenghua was already unwilling in his heart, and he was more and more moved by the noise of his subordinates, thinking that if he could destroy this Fire Tree Dynasty, it would be good for the company after all, even if Yong Bowen was dissatisfied with it later, he was not afraid of his attack.

Therefore, under the pretext of just in case, Yang Zhenghua, in the name of the commander-in-chief of the development troops on the Western Front, made a large-scale adjustment to the strategic deployment of the entire Western Front, vigorously strengthened the strength of the advance troops advancing westward, and at the same time contracted the various units that were laid out in a long serpentine shape along the highway line, and quickly advanced westward, deploying along the banks of the Ghost River, leaving only four troops in the rear to be responsible for the safety and security of the communication line.

The troops stationed along the Ghost River did not just stop and wait by the river, but as soon as they arrived at the river, they immediately began to build improvised pontoon bridges, ready to cross the river at any time.

In just a few days, all the arrangements have been completed.

In fact, the most labor-intensive part of these arrangements is the issue of the advance of the troops, but for them, this is the least problem.

The command mobilized helicopters to transport the combat mages who commanded the various units.

And the troops of the battle mages are stored in the computer and carried with them, and they can be released when they go to the place.

Speaking of which, the most time-consuming thing is the construction of the pontoon bridge.

After the arrangement was completed, Yang Zhenghua issued an order to the advance troops of Li Ruiliu's department to advance westward and explore the defense situation of the border towns of the Huoshu Dynasty.
