Chapter 828: Before the War (1)

The news from the Green Forest is getting worse and worse, and the mechanical life has conquered the city, expanding in the Green Forest like mold. However, the gods still came down with a lot of strength and defended to the death, and at the same time, many heroes appeared in various countries, temporarily blocking the offensive of mechanical life.

But it's not optimistic, because the magic tower in the north has a bit of a taste of standing by.

However, on the side of the Arcane Empire, only the Xia He family is nervously preparing for the war. The little nobles don't have that strength, after all, the viscount baron or something, they can have hundreds to a thousand troops in their hands, these troops are usually guarding the territory, and when they need war, they will concentrate the soldiers on the big nobles they are loyal to, and if they are directly under the royal family, they will fight with the royal army.

Counting on the petty nobles to fight the enemy on their own, that's a bit of a pit. Although the army under these small nobles is also a hegemon when they go to the low-level world.

As for the great nobles, marquis and duke, they are basically based on another world, and the army in their hands is definitely not only the empire, but the real army is fighting and conquering in the other world.

If they need an army, they don't need long-term training, they just need to be called back for short-term training, and they can adapt to the wars of this world.

Unlike other nobles, Xia He sent the earliest elite troops to the Taiyin world, if it weren't for the fact that Rhode Island is now a golden egg, and it itself has to echo the underground world, he would not have left three legions. On the side of the New World, he transferred the elite soldiers out and cultivated new elites, and immediately transferred them away without hesitation.

Anyway, the clean-up work on the New World side was done by the nobles under his command, and the goddess of wealth also joined in this feast.

Yes, because of His Majesty the Emperor's means, the demon clan was destroyed without breaking out, and the leader was cut off from the demon world. The half-plane of the Xia River was not disturbed at all. And the trap of the Drifting Temple was wasted.

Therefore, Xia He was in a hurry to drive away the forces of other temples, and when those forces were defeated and other local nobles were driven away, the goddess of wealth officially entered the field.

Not only the goddess of wealth, but Xia He also asked the followers of the other two goddesses to join in.

For the goddess of wealth, war can indeed increase her strength in the short term, but only peace is a long-term thing.

She followed Xia He's advice, and even the shallow believers didn't care much, focusing mainly on transactions and providing wealth contracts.

In this case, it will have no effect on the royal power and the like, and she will not be noticed.

Xia He doesn't really care about the belief of the goddess of wealth, the Dao Palace also needs the god of wealth, if the goddess of wealth refuses to give in, she can only leave this world and go to other places to develop.

Being a god for the Dao Palace, although it loses its freedom, its security has also been greatly improved.

Who dares to bully the gods of the Dao Palace, provoking one is equivalent to provoking a big nest, and there are a huge number of Taoist priests and immortals behind.

And the gods who believe in the gods will break out in the god war, and they are also coveted by many higher beings.

There are many gods who have fallen in the green forest this time, and each god who has died is unique, and there is no backstage behind it.

When the believers of the three goddesses arrived in the New World, the pressure on Xiahe's side was reduced a lot, and the only elites were in the Tower of Babel, and the rest of the places didn't matter, anyway, the demons killed less and less.

Xia He wants to motivate his troops and concentrate on dealing with the Merriffin family.

This newly promoted duke was also a marquis before, and his family background is quite deep. The Merifin family still has a large number of worlds to back it up, and it doesn't know how long it will take to destroy it. However, this is also the only object that Xia He can do directly, and the rest of the big nobles have people behind them.

The Merriphon family, there was no one behind them before, so they were won over by the emperor.

The reason why Xia He was in a hurry to build all four expeditionary legions was of course to deal with so many worlds of the Merifin family. There are two field legions in the overworld to keep an eye on, there are enough people, and there are many legendary powerhouses, so I don't have to worry about the Merriffin family's desperate efforts.

In fact, the legend of the main world is much more powerful than that of the other world, and it is completely possible to rush into the thousands of troops and horses to open the unequaled and mow the grass. But the will of the world has too much influence on the legend. Unless it is like Shen Zhou, the Nine Great Dao Palace has replaced the will of the Dao Gate with the will of the world, and the Taoist priests can play whatever they want in their own world.

Although the Taiyin Immortal Mansion does not have Da Luo Jin Xian, it is not weak, but because it lost the earliest opportunity, it cannot be tied with the Nine Great Dao Palace, and the will of the Dao Sect has less blessings for them, that is, the shares are not as good as the Kunlun Dao Palace, in addition to being able to fight on an equal footing at the beginning, and then they were pressed and beaten.

Xia He was in a hurry to develop in the Taiyin World, because over there, the will of the sect of the Taiyin Immortal Mansion itself had replaced the will of that world.

In the Taiyin world, Xia He can shoot at ordinary people casually, and he will not suffer any backlash.

This is the strength of the Daomen, after occupying a world, it will begin to assimilate the will of this world, and slowly turn this world into a home field, and the enemy wants to invade?

Of course, Jin Xian is not so idle, usually as long as he dispatches the appropriate forces to crush it.

The cost of dispatching Jin Xian is also quite large.

Xia He was also a little worried, although the strategy was set, and the speed of recruiting troops and horses was quite fast, but now the Arcane Empire is not peaceful, and Her Royal Highness the Princess has promoted the method of finding the children of the law, that is, using the phantom array to test, in the empire, thousands of children of the law were caught and executed.

However, this phantom array is at least medium-sized, has complex calculation formulas, and consumes a lot of energy, and it is impossible to pass it aside for the empire's billions of people.

Well, although there are only a few hundred million people who pay taxes to the royal family, there are still a large number of people in the hands of the nobles who do not pay taxes to the royal family, adding up to more than one billion.

You see, the aristocracy is so annoying, weakening the power of the state.

Like the Shenzhou Empire, all the occupied worlds belong to the empire, and there is no state of division by local forces.

In the Tower of Babel, Xia He repeatedly calculated the power needed, and the number of worlds of the Merifin family was definitely not twenty, otherwise he would have been the Grand Duke a long time ago. More than ten, less than fifteen.

Now the number of those who have the coordinates has reached eight, and only two can attack immediately.

To attack such a world, it is necessary to use the power of thunder to directly dispatch four expeditionary legions, and then equip twenty ordinary legions. With such a huge army arrangement, the logistics required are extremely huge.

The logistics forces in Xia He's hands are scattered in the army, and each squadron has its own logistics team.

But this kind of cross-world expedition, without Rhode Island as a direct backing, can only use the half-plane to hoard materials, and the real bulk of the logistics are placed in the half-plane. After the main army passes, open the half-plane in the other world and transfer materials, which is also a common method in the wizarding world.

This is also a way to bully the weak, before dealing with the demons, no one was willing to use the half-plane as a transit.

Don't look at the value of the Otherworld, which is much higher than the half-plane, but there is still no mage willing to give.

The half-plane that has been known to the goddess of wealth is useless, and Xia He conquers other worlds, but he doesn't want to take the goddess of wealth with him, unless she takes refuge in herself and becomes a Daomen god.

However, the Temple of Doom is okay, and the goddess of doom can take charge of the underworld in the future, and the real Daomen god is comparable to the existence of the heavenly court.

Fortunately, the productivity of the main world is explosive, and he has improved the cultivation factory, and the number of alchemy factories is also enough, otherwise even if he becomes a duke, he will not be able to start a war.

If it weren't for his identity, Musis would have become his staunchest ally by now.

The reason why Xia He handed over the captives to Musis was because he didn't need real allies, because in the end, he wanted to conquer the entire Overworld, even if by that time, the Overworld had been reduced to an ordinary big world, and its status was replaced by the Taiyin World.

The mass-produced materials were sent to a new half-plane, and Xia He didn't dare to touch Jenny's plane, he was afraid that the emperor was still watching him. When Jennifer died, she didn't tell anyone about her half-plane position, but only gave it to Xia He. Xia He still has the book she gave in her hand, and she is reluctant to use it, just want to use it as a souvenir.

Jennifer's half-plane, if it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to move.

Just let it be there, and don't be disturbed.

Of course, if he doesn't have enough materials, he might be able to transport the wood that can make the Chaos Barrier. Where is the stock, there is enough for Xia He to conquer many worlds.

Now he has a lot of money on hand, so he is not in a hurry.

Xia He's demand for magic raw stones is not high, and Daomen has its own means of consumption, which is jade. The formation arranged with jade can extract deep space power more efficiently, which is much higher than that of magic primordial stones. Moreover, the jade is stable, and the magic rough stone is still a bit dangerous.

Xia He stored a large number of magic primordial stones in the half-plane, and built an alchemy factory, arranging a large number of mechanical workers, construction workers, and intelligent mechanical beings.

The half-plane is a production workshop armed with teeth, a storage warehouse, and used to transfer materials.

He also designed open plantation factories and placed elemental suns in the half-plane to allow for faster food production.

In terms of logistics, the whooping pill was finally eliminated and replaced with the decorian pill, which didn't last that long, but with some simple food, it could keep people's bodies normal and wouldn't cause too much damage.

The eliminated whooping pills are just no longer given to the soldiers of the army, but there is still a market, and this thing is good for feeding magical creatures, and it is very cost-effective. Xia He opened up another way to make money, although his army eliminated magical creatures as mounts.

But magical creatures are still very powerful, and there is no substitute for them in many cases.
