Chapter 144: The Wind and the Clouds (II)
After taking the canyon pass, Yong Bowen did not continue to attack further west.
If he followed his original wishes, he didn't even want to cross the Wraith River and start a head-on war with the Fire Tree Dynasty before he was sure.
The reason why the battle mages go to war regardless of the situation is because they only work for the company, taking advantage of the opportunity for personal gain, and do not think about the longer term at all.
And Yong Bowen came to hell with such a large group of people, not to be robbers, but to establish a colony and earn greater benefits for himself.
Before launching an attack on the Yekemo Division, Yong Bowen's idea was to hit the banks of the Ghost River, restore the actual control posture before the battle, and maintain the strategic attack posture against the Fire Tree Dynasty by relying on the natural danger of the Ghost River.
But the plan didn't change quickly, and the soul flame of the Yellow Turban Lux ignited the entire ghost river, and after a few days, most of the ghost river was burned dry - this burning dry did not mean the real burning dry, but burned the resentful souls in the river - the ghost river that was originally as black as ink because there were too many resentful spirits is now clear to the bottom, and even the patterns on the pebbles at the bottom of the river can be seen really.
Or maybe this war is the biggest destroyer of the environment. Back in the day, when China and the United States entered North Korea to resist the United States, China and the United States fought to the death on one acre and three points of land in North Korea, and the amount of ammunition invested exceeded the sum of World War II. If you think about it, what can be the result of dropping so many munitions in the projectile land of North Korea, almost every inch of dirt is mixed with gunpowder slag. This kind of land does not grow crops at all, or it does not grow anything, and North Korea cannot produce its own food, and both the North and the South have to rely on external support to survive, but when the Soviet Union has no time to care about North Korea, North Korea will suffer from famine every year.
Seeing the ghost river that had been burned dry, Yongda Heavenly Master's heart was so painful that he almost beat his feet.
What a hellish river it is!
I originally thought that after the peace was over, this place would be developed into a tourist attraction, presumably to make a lot of money, but it was burned dry by a soul flame, which was like setting fire to countless banknotes in the future! It's heart-wrenching to the point of bleeding just thinking about it.
Without the support of the Ghost River, the defense line was too long, and Yong Bowen could not be covered with troops along the river to defend, and he didn't want to retreat back to Huoxia Town, so he had to continue to advance westward and take the Canyon Pass. This was originally the natural danger defense of the Fire Tree Dynasty to the east, the long peak runs through the hell of this layer, dividing the entire hell into two, to the east is the bleak and desolate wild land, and to the west is the rich land under the rule of the Fire Tree Dynasty, except for a few races that can fly, most of the races cannot climb over this dangerous peak, and the east-west passage is only a road like the canyon pass, although it can't even fly over the ghost river, but it is also stronger than nothing.
After Yong Bowen occupied the Gorge Pass, he began to deploy defenses, first sent troops to the west out of the Pass, uprooted all the villages and towns of the Huoshu Dynasty within a radius of more than 1,000 miles, and all the residents were captured back to the Canyon Pass for temporary custody, and within this range, all kinds of fortresses were built all over the place to form a defense system in depth.
After learning the lesson that the demon puppet was unreliable, Yong Bowen changed his strategy and contacted Gu Xijiang to refine a large number of puppet cores using the hell ghost as raw material. The quality of the Hell Devil is far inferior to that of the Demon Spirit, but it is also an extremely rare core refining ingredient in the human world.
The Wuhua faction has not refined such a large number of puppet cores with evil ghosts as driving raw materials for many years - you have to know that although there are many ghosts in the world, the Mage Association has held the power of ghost hunting over the years, and all the ghosts caught must be handed over in a unified manner, and they will be reincarnated in accordance with the principle of natural ghost power, and there are very few unforgiven evil ghosts that can be used, otherwise the Wuhua faction will not develop the kind of puppets with mana drive as the core, and they have to make up the law regularly. Just this large-scale refining opportunity made the entire Wuhua faction happy.
And Yong Bowen will not use the Chinese pie in vain, but intends to buy it at the market price.
Gu Xijiang resolutely disagreed, if it was really according to the market price, then the two sides would be a pure business relationship, and no friendship would fall, how could this little profit be more important than the friendship of Yongda Heavenly Master? But if it is given for free, it is not a long-term solution, so it is insisted that the transaction be made at cost price, that is, the raw materials required in the refining process, and even labor will not be charged! The two sides pushed and conceded, Gu Xijiang was resolute, and Yong Bowen agreed. But Rao is like this, and the cost of large-scale refining is not something that Yong Bowen can directly afford. Fortunately, Yongbowen Hell has it in hand, that is, a hen that lays golden eggs, and there is no need to pay directly at all, but to pay at a discount for the hellish demons and other hellish specialties. In this way, every time Gu Xijiang refines a batch of evil ghost puppet cores for Yong Bowen, he can get a large number of hell ghosts and hell specialty raw materials, turn around and then refine them and sell them in the world, playing the brand of hell ghost core puppets, taking the high-end boutique route, can accept on-demand customization, and make a lot of money.
At this time, all the people of the Wuhua faction admired the foresight of Gu Xijiang's head to the point of five-body casting, and deeply felt that the decision of Gu Zhangmen to give the puppet core refining secret method was a stroke of genius, and it only took a long time to see results!
Yong Bowen had all the hell demons on hand, and the original sources were all hellish demons who defected before and after the First Battle of Canyon Pass, and there were hundreds of thousands. Yong Bowen took out the policy of quelling the rebellion in the colony, and showed no mercy to those who dared to rebel, and hundreds of thousands of evil ghosts were directly relegated to death, but it was too wasteful to just wipe out their souls and scatter, and refining them into puppet cores just allowed them to continue to play a role. If these hundreds of thousands of hell demons were to be pushed directly to Gu Xijiang, I was afraid that all the people of the Wuhua faction would have a heart attack, so Yong Bowen only took out 10,000 hell demons at the beginning, and this kind of generosity was enough to shock the Wuhua faction.
Yong Bowen did not install all the puppet cores that were refined on the puppet core, but further developed them, threaded the needle, and reached the cooperation of Wuhua School, Yu Chengshi Company and himself to manufacture large-scale weapons and various equipment that can install puppet cores. From the floating reconnaissance satellites and small reconnaissance planes flying all over the world, to the large defensive artillery and heavy machine guns fixed on the ground, to the patrols composed of various types of puppets, etc., there are many kinds of renovations. Yong Bowen produces evil ghosts and various raw materials, Yu Chengshi Company is responsible for weapon research and development and improvement, and Wuhua is responsible for the weapon installation and development of Yu Chengshi Company. And these new types of weapons based on the puppet core are equivalent to low intelligence, and the best real field is the hell battlefield.
In addition to placing a large number of puppet weapons in the fortress of the strategic defense depth zone, Yong Bowen also distributed weapons to various security forces for actual combat testing, in addition to various reconnaissance instruments in the air.
When Yong Bowen was on the front line to defend and fix the position of the Canyon Pass, Li Ruiliu reorganized the company's security forces in the rear as quickly as possible, and then attacked the remnants of the Eastward Advance Group of the Fire Tree Dynasty and the indigenous Demon King tribe that Yang Zhenghua and others had not bothered to clean up before, and swept the vast colonial territory east of the Gorge Pass and west of the Pioneer City with the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, completely realizing the complete occupation of this area. And when it was necessary to achieve this situation, it only took more than 40 days from the time Yong Bowen arrived on the Western Front battlefield to reverse the situation.
