Episode 29 The appetite of the Blue Star Country

Lin Da coldly watched as the two demons cast spells to take away the few remaining Shura troops, but he didn't mean to stop them, nor did he order the Blue Star Army to pursue, let alone let the Maple Leaf Alliance army on the ground chase and fight. It wasn't until the two demons quickly disappeared into the sky and couldn't be searched by the spiritual sense that Linda's gaze slowly turned back from a distance.

"Whew! these bastards are finally gone! It's so fucking hard to deal with!" Linda let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's so dangerous! Why didn't you tell me that the enemy had so many of them earlier?! We didn't have enough ammunition and fuel to bring, and we were all done with two or three rounds of attacks just now! Fortunately, you didn't continue to attack, otherwise how would we fight?! Your intelligence is really deadly!" Tang Long in the distance quickly flew in front of Lin Da from the battle formation that had withdrawn the combat state, and shouted loudly, the saliva in his mouth almost splashed on Lin Da.

Lin Da scratched his head, looked innocent, and retorted unceremoniously: "How do I know that there are so many enemies! And there are also four old devils of the Void Realm cultivation, and I have been fighting with the two of them for a long time, do you think I am easy? I can pretend to be so calm just now, I am already very good!"

"Hmph, what are those four demons? If you say it in advance, we will bring all the Flying Dragon Corps, and we can conjure up three Void Realm Spirit Gathering Warriors! But just now we almost lost our lives!" Tang Long still grabbed Lin Da and didn't let go, not polite to him at all.

No one dared to come forward to disturb the dispute between the two, and in the end, Sonia, who had finished dealing with the affairs of the ground battlefield, flew over and taught the two a real lesson, which ended the boring dispute between the two.

"Okay, you two guys, don't quarrel! What kind of people are they? Do you want to be embarrassed like this? I haven't seen each other for several years, what's the point of arguing like this when we meet! Linda, let your people sort out a special place for the Blue Star Army to garrison as soon as possible. Tang Long, hurry up and take your troops back to the open space on the outskirts of Yecheng to rest, we still have a lot of work to do next!"

Under Sonya's "reprimand", the two bigwigs of the Blue Star Country patted each other and smiled, and soon they were fine. Linda quickly issued several orders, asking a part of the army that had arrived from Yecheng to garrison the valley in case the Shura army returned, and at the same time ordered a part of the army to immediately find an open place near Yecheng to establish a temporary base for the Blue Star Army to be stationed, and the rest of the army to withdraw to Yecheng.

The temporary base that Linda had found for the Blue Star Army was located in a flat field in the eastern part of Yecheng. Although the terrain is flat and looks difficult to attack, it is very suitable for aircraft to take off and land, and the foundation is also suitable for laying the airport. For the Blue Star Army, which has developed to the level of military modernization, the flat terrain is more conducive to the display of its powerful firepower and the detection of electronic reconnaissance systems, and defense is no longer a problem for them.

Because this base had already been settled by Lin Da early on, and all kinds of preparations had been started more than ten days ago, when Tang Long led his troops to station, it only took less than three days to establish a simple temporary base.

It is said to be simple, but the facilities of the base are like paradise for the people of Tiannanzhou. Not to mention the rows of tall temporary command centers, radar towers, power supply stations, barracks, warehouses, and factory buildings, the thousands of "Vimana" of various shapes in the base are neatly arranged together, and they have an incomparably mighty momentum. The huge barracks tents and various warehouses are kilometers long, and they contain many powerful Blue Star Army soldiers and all kinds of incredibly powerful weapons. There are as many as three layers of protection outside the base, the first layer is composed of ordinary barbed wire, trenches, mines, and traps, the second layer is composed of dozens of fire strongholds, and the third layer is composed of huge protective shields released by more than a dozen spirit array launchers, which tightly wrap the entire base. In addition, there are a large number of drones and fighter jets patrolling and guarding 24 hours a day, which together form a powerful protection system like an impregnable wall of the base.

At this time, in a hidden conference room in the base, Linda, Sonya, and Tang Long got together again.

"Linda, for your operation, I have made a mistake! I patted my chest on the matter of sending troops to the Congress, and I promised that this battle would definitely be won, and it would definitely bring huge returns to the Blue Star Country, so they would approve the use of so many troops and expenditures for us. If it fails, Arden will lead the parliamentary guys to tear up Rangie first, and then form a group to run here and swallow the three of us!" Tang Long's expression was still so cynical, he took out a document from his file bag and slammed it on the table.

Linda didn't notice the document at first, but said lightly: "What do we want in return? The demons are here as the biggest reason for us to start a war, isn't that enough?"

"Of course, the demons must be destroyed, but they should not send so many troops to fight here from thousands of miles away, so that our soldiers will die in vain. Look at the expenses of our military operation this time!" Tang Long shook his head lightly, patted the documents on the table vigorously, and said.

"What? Congress actually agreed to allocate 500 billion Blue Star Shield for Operation Tiannanzhou? This... This is equivalent to our total military spending for three years! No wonder you were able to transfer so many troops at once this time. After reading the report, Sonia immediately covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed.

Hearing this, Lin Da, who had been calm just now, also changed his face slightly, and hurriedly took the document from Sonya's hand and looked at it carefully.

Tang Long smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, isn't this because of the urgent report you sent back before? You said in the report that Tiannanzhou is rich in resources, abundant in products, simple in folk customs, and has great potential for development. He also said that there is war and ethnic division here, and that it is the best opportunity for us to intervene, and that you have built a coalition in just over 10 days and have developed a strong political base. It's just a little trouble for the time being, and I hope that the country can send troops to support... Hehe, Rangie was of course nervous and excited when he saw your report, especially the report that you, the archmage personally investigated. Without saying a word, he immediately formulated a plan to intervene in Tiannanzhou, which was submitted to the National Assembly for deliberation in a few days. ”

"Originally, the National Assembly was also very interested in Tiannanzhou, otherwise there would not have been a previous exploration plan. However, Ranki's plan to intervene in Tiannanzhou is to use military force to support and establish our forces in Tiannanzhou, and even intend to control the entire Tiannanzhou! To be honest, although this plan is very bold and brings considerable benefits, it is just too expensive! You also know that our country has finally obtained the cultivation of the past 20 years or so, and many people are no longer willing to fight. Now there is another battlefield to intervene, which many people do not want to do, and there are too many places to spend money. But it is really contradictory that we can open up foreign countries without investing in the army and spending money!"

"So the Congress and Rangie bargained for a long time, considering that the benefits were really huge, and in order to prevent the infiltration of the demons in the surrounding areas, they also sent troops and efforts, and first sent some elite forces to support you first, and also called us old guys out to lead the troops. I didn't know, I thought this place was really as you said, the enemy here was so easy to deal with, but I didn't expect to meet four Void Realm powerhouses as soon as I came! It really scared me a lot! The demons must have invested a lot here, and the enemy is much stronger than expected! It seems that your report is really not true!"

After listening to Tang Long's analysis, Linda and Sonia couldn't help but smile at each other, revealing a slightly embarrassed expression. Originally, they only planned to send a support force from the country to support the slow development of local forces such as the Ye clan, while they controlled the overall situation behind the scenes, and did not intend to directly intervene in the internal affairs of Tiannanzhou. Unexpectedly, the appetite in the country was even greater, and he directly sent troops to intervene in the war in Tiannanzhou. Once this kind of plan is successful, the Blue Star Kingdom will not only be able to get a territory that truly belongs to it in Tiannanzhou, but will also be able to intervene in various situations in the entire Tiannanzhou in the fastest and most direct way, and the political and economic benefits it will bring are absolutely rich.

It's just that neither Linda, Ranji, nor the Congress expected that the demons, like them, also wanted to annex the entire Tiannan Continent, and the chess they played in Tiannan was also very big! There were only two choices in front of the Blue Star Country, either retreat in the face of difficulties and no longer intervene in Tiannan Continent, or send a large army to defeat the demons with all their might and win the overall situation.

These two results, whether they win or lose, the Blue Star Kingdom will have to pay a huge price, which is by no means what Linda wants.

"What are you afraid of! Haven't we already wiped out the Shura army? Anyway, we've already confronted the demons, and it's hard to ride a tiger, so let's just fight them! Besides, we will all face the demons in the future, so why don't we fight them from now on, drive these beasts out of Tiannanzhou completely, and include the entire Tiannanzhou in our alliance?

Seeing that Linda and Tang Long had been silent, Sonia simply slapped the table and made a decision for the two big men.

"Well, I think Sonia is right, since we're already here, let's do it. You have also seen the strength of the demons, except for those two big devils, we can still deal with other ordinary demon soldiers. I also want to see if I can deal with two mid-stage demons in the Void Realm alone. Lin Da rubbed his fists and said with a little excitement.

"Don't take this risk! These two demons are not trivial, they are the most powerful enemies we have encountered so far, and we cannot afford to deal with them carelessly. It would be easier to apply to Rangi immediately and ask us to allow us to use nuclear weapons in China, so that it would be much easier to fight. Sonia vetoed Lynda's proposal and offered her own.

"Nuclear weapons? This is not good? The pollution and damage caused by the use of nuclear weapons is too great, which is not conducive to our future development in Tiannanzhou. Moreover, it would be inappropriate to use nuclear weapons so easily. What are the two Void Demon Bosses? We can transfer the entire Wyvern Legion, and there will be three Soul Gathering Void Warriors, and the Congress will also allow us to deploy our own troops. Once we need it, we can also send the second and fifth legions in the country, and if Schroeder and them also bring troops to come, are we still afraid of those two demons?" Tang Long immediately proposed, eager to bring more Blue Star Troops over.

After thinking for a moment, Linda finally said, "Okay! There is no turning back from the bow and arrow, but no matter what, since we have taken this step, there is no possibility of retreating." What's more, he has already provoked the demons, and it is unlikely that he wants to get out. This ruthless defeat of the Shura army will definitely make our prestige reach an unprecedented height, this is a good opportunity for the expansion of the Maple Leaf Alliance, we have to attract more tribes to join us as soon as possible, strengthen our strength as soon as possible, and form a three-legged situation of the Demon Clan, the Peacock Dynasty and the Maple Leaf Alliance in Tiannanzhou, and then look for opportunities to break through. We have a lot to do, yes, we do need to transfer more troops from the country as soon as possible, coordinate the entire Maple Leaf Alliance's army, and make it better to make this group of natives stronger. Maybe you can test the meaning of the Mauryan Dynasty through diplomatic contacts, and finally monitor the situation of the demons all the time... Alright, let's get to work as soon as possible!"
