Chapter 278: The Enemy's Soul Is My Currency Too

"How?"

When the goblin Yin returned to the governor's office of Nauman City, the Marquis of Batun asked, "How do you feel about the specific strength of the Demon Legion, and what is the strength of Death Knell?" ”

"There is a fourth energy level. At the very least, there is a fourth energy level under the blessing of the curse earth. His psychic body is a bit weak, it should only be the third energy level of strengthening, but the subspace reaction is very strong, which proves that his spiritual energy 'volume' is extremely large, I think this is one of his 'hole cards', allowing him to exert the power of the fourth energy level with the body of the third energy level. ”

Fairy Yin En landed on the table, he pondered for a while, and then gathered the information: "Anyway, he is a real great demon, and he can already create a subspace labyrinth around him - just now he didn't do his best to keep me, but was warning me of a possible sneak attack." ”

"It's a pity, this is probably the instinct of the fourth-level Void Realm life, because if he really attacks my fairy body with all his might, then my flesh will strike a fatal blow at him in the back."

After speaking, the door of the governor's office opened, and another Yin Eun, a physical Yin Eun wearing exoskeleton armor, entered the door and answered extremely smoothly: "It is said that the sublimated creatures of the fourth and fifth energy levels have an instinctive ability to predict, and I may not know much because I am used to it as a prophet. Marquis, you know what? ”

"I'm only at the third level."

Even the Marquis of Batun didn't know for a while whether to focus on the goblin Yin En or the lord Yin En for a while.

He just shook his head slightly: "The fourth energy level is not so easy to kill, you destroy the body of the great demon in the material world, and he can still continue to fight in the virtual realm - this is the difficulty of demons, they may not die if they kill them." ”

"Monsters die when they are killed." Yin En said: "The demon's immortal ability is meaningless in front of the goblin, I can directly chase him to the Void Realm and kill him a second time." The only problem is that I just sensed a sense of crisis......"

"Death Knell still has hole cards."

This is actually half a nonsense, as the commander and vanguard of the Flying Flame Land's invasion of Nanling, the demon general, how could he not have hole cards? Yin En's serial raids and sneak attacks this time are just to find out the hole cards of the death knell.

It would be nice if you could induce the other party to use a little Abyssal Dragon-related technology.

It's a pity that the other party held back.

The goblin Yin En returned to the body of the lord Yin En, and Yin En, who had reunited, had a serious face and came to the office map: "Although the harassment during this period of time has made the demons miserable, and it has also allowed me to find out the reality of the demon army, their strength has not been damaged. ”

"According to the intelligence of the Western Realm, the original Demon Legion was split into three parts, of which two-thirds remained in the Western Realm to involve the Imperial Legion, and only one-third came to us, but its number still exceeded three thousand."

"Every demon is a sublimator, and they all have the strength to surpass the ordinary first-level sublimator, and the hundred demon officers all have the strength of the second-level or so."

"When all the strength of Nanling is gathered, it is not impossible to compete, and even the strength on paper is surpassed." The Marquis of Batun also muttered: "But the combat effectiveness cannot be compared at all. It is impossible to gather all the nobles, knights and sublimators and fight as an army. ”

"Yes."

And Yin En also nodded slightly: "This time, they slaughtered the people of the entire Golden Plains, and I can't stop the spread of the cursed soil, and within a few days, they will launch a strong attack on Nauman City or other areas, and our legion change is not over yet." ”

The so-called legion redress refers to the exoskeleton armor, auxiliary aiming system and other equipment that Yin En mass-produced using Yinfeng Collar technology after taking over the Nauman City Military Factory recently. In addition to this, there are armored electromagnetic ejection seats, automatic agent injection of exoskeleton armor, as well as an automatic escape system.

With the permission of the Marquis of Batun, a completely new mechanized army was taking shape.

But all of this is built on the support of the Heart of Terra. Without the Terra's Heart and Silver Peak's terminal network servers, most of the mechanical information systems would be useless.

Moreover, because the time is too urgent, the legion's outfit rate is currently no more than 30% - this is a very contradictory thing, if the demon legion is not fast, the people in the military factory will not be so easy to hand over power, so there is no way to change the costume in advance, so there is no way to wait for the demon legion to really arrive, and the group of nobles with noble heads are willing to obediently hand over the power in their hands.

Yin En didn't feel sorry for this, he even felt that the people of Flying Flame Land were good and had no external enemies, where did he get the opportunity to lay network terminals in Nanling so quickly, and where did he get the opportunity to clean up those thorny nobles who didn't listen to his orders openly?

As cold-blooded as it may sound, war is a great opportunity to shuffle power and reform policy.

But that's not enough.

The most terrifying thing about the demon army is that as long as there is a curse spread, they can directly cross the army's defense line, rush into the city and the rear to slaughter civilians, and the more they kill, the stronger they get. This is the real reason why the Westside is unable to withstand the demon legions.

The city defenders of the western frontier are not bad, they can use heavy fire to block the demon's advance in the front, but when the demon enters the city with the spread of despair, they can slaughter everything in the rear and become stronger and stronger.

Therefore, in order to cope with the characteristics of the demon army, Yin Eun evacuated everyone who could be evacuated in the Golden Plains.

But there are still some people who are reluctant to go, if it weren't for the fact that demons can use the curse of those who are not killed by themselves, Yin Eun would have killed this group of fools with his own hands. But there is no choice but to make a final wave of waste utilization, and then carry out one last sneak attack to see if you can hit the death knell hard.

As a result, the death knell did not give a chance.

"Recently, the Cult of Spiritual Worship has been propagating."

At this moment, the Marquis of Batun spoke, and the old man looked much more relaxed after leaving the stall, at least Yin En did not see too much worry on his face: "They say that the prophet has prophesied all this, and declared that it is a holy war......"

"A strategy."

Yin En came back to his senses, and he smiled and said, "As long as you tell everyone that this war is a sacred battle that must be won, then even if the opponent is a demon, they will not have the slightest fear. ”

"I see."

The Marquis of Barton seemed to see something more, but he didn't say much. He moved on to another topic: "Even if we can defend ourselves against the demon legions, what about the death knell? Without relying on sneak attacks, do you have a way to defeat a fourth-level head-on? ”

"Or ......"

The old man slowly raised his head to look at the sky, and he seemed to be hinting, "You can call for some forces that can intervene in this battle?" ”

Neither the elves nor the dragons, nor the four major Orthodox churches, will intervene in this war. They will only help the Silverpeak Lords to protect the 'common people', which is why there are still some cities in the Westlands that have survived to this day, as they have the main churches and shrines of the four major Orthodox churches.

However, it is clear that the Marquis of Batun is not talking about those forces.

"If there is a need, I will definitely call."

Yin En nodded slightly, but he said meaningfully: "But I am an imperial nobleman, Earl Yinfeng, how can I call for some exiled power?" ”

"What's more, although Knell is the fourth energy level, it is a demon of the fourth energy level, or a fusion demon. I have a way to deal with him. ”

"I didn't know you were a demon expert."

Marquis Batun raised his eyebrows, but he didn't ask, but discussed the cooperation of the Nanling Chamber of Commerce with Yin En - the war that will be faced now is a full-scale war against the Flying Flame Land, and the materials of the Chamber of Commerce will definitely be called, but the compensation after the war needs to be discussed, and Yin En is also willing to owe some debts to the Chamber of Commerce, so that they can go to Yinfeng to receive materials to repay the loan.

Although Marquis Batun was right, he was not an expert on demons...... But he has it in his territory.

Adalbert aside, isn't Theo the Dragon of the Void? She has also been infested by the poison of the Void Demon for a hundred years, and she must be an expert in this area!

"Huh? Demons are such things, and it would be good if the weak ones were eaten directly. ”

Silver Peak Leader, Xi'ou, who was questioned, looked dazed: "As for the strong ones, they will fight normally, destroy their soul structure, use spiritual energy to dispel the remaining curses, collect the fragments, and burn them with the fire of the spirit world, and they will all be clean." ”

"Besides, Yin Eun, can't you defeat that fourth-level demon?"

Xi'o was deeply skeptical about Yin Eun running over and asking herself how to deal with the death knell, she felt that Yin Eun could kill the Dark Gold Dragon, and finally even be able to drive the body of the Dark Gold Dragon to withstand the attack of the fifth energy level, so what was the difficulty of destroying a mere fourth level Great Demon?

What's more, didn't Yin Eun just fight the death knell today? And it didn't fall behind, so why worry so much.

"If I take my Immovable Stronghold and merge the two to reshape the Forerunner of Steel, paired with the Heart of Terra, then I can defeat it head-on, at most a small price."

Yin En shook his head: "But if it's just a goblin, then there is indeed a magnitude gap between my energy level and it...... My fairy body, except for the core is made of the Heavenly Ladder Life Tree, the other materials are not as luxurious as my body. ”

"As for that shocking blow, it was I who called on the resources of the Heart of Terra - if I had been using the computing power of the Heart of Terra, then I could indeed face Knell head-on, but the Heart of Terra was also responsible for the calculation of mechanical information troops, without the blessing of the Heart of Terra, these troops could be said to be crushed in the face of the demon army."

This creates a difficult problem: when it comes to heads-up, Yin En is indeed not afraid of the death knell. But Knell still has a whole host of demonic armies, and both Adalbert's Giants of Light and Mechanized Troops need the help of Terra's Heart to be fully effective.

But there is only one Heart of Terra.

"So ......"

Seeing that Xi'o understood the difficulties of the territory, he couldn't help frowning, Yin Entu was destitute: "Xi'o, you can do me a favor." ”

"What's the busy?" The red-haired dragon girl's eyes widened, and she inexplicably felt a little wrong: "I'll help you fight and deal with those demon officers, but what else do you need my help with?" ”

"Borrow your dragon soul for use!" Yin Eun said bluntly: "I will take you as the center and create a calculation matrix, and when I invoke the power of Terra's Heart, your soul will take on the army calculations!" ”

Theo looked dazed: "Huh? ”

And Yin En struck while the iron was hot: "Xiou, your dragon soul has great potential, especially the dragon crystal thinking organ, each of which is comparable to a real biological quantum computer - oh, you can understand it as an essentia computing chip." ”

"The potential of the dragon soul you usually use is less than ten percent, but as long as you connect to the Terra's Heart network through the meditation method, the Terra's Heart can be calculated with the help of your soul, and there is an extra dragon soul extension out of thin air!"

"In this way, the computing power crisis in our territory has been solved!"

"......Wait a minute," Theo was a little confused at the moment: "You mean to say that you want me to stay in the rear during the war and exist as a computing center?" ”

"Yes." Yin En laughed, Xi'o actually fully understood his plan, and saved a lot of words.

"That's boring, isn't it?" Theo was indignant: "Didn't have to fight? I also want to protect the Silver Peak Collar with my own hands! ”

Yin En's persuasion: "You remotely control so many unmanned armor, it is nothing more than changing from personally playing the field to leading the team to fighting, and shooting has become strategy, there is no big difference!" ”

Xiou moved: "It seems to be a little interesting...... Talking about strategy, it sounds like a great thing! ”

For Yin Eun's desire to use his dragon soul as a computing center, Xiou is not too repulsed, because for dragons, things like souls and bodies are originally tools, and since she has decided to help Yin Eun in the name of 'a dragon', it is not a big deal to take out the soul as an auxiliary at all.

However, it would be best if she could do what she liked - Theo doesn't really like to fight very much, she has been stuck in the dragon's lair for a hundred years, and she really can't fight.

On the contrary, it was the games that Xiahui City had recently developed, and she was very energetic to play, and even won the first place in the Tetris competition at the Silver Square Tavern in Xiahui City.

And those board games in the tavern, she is also quite good at (basically equivalent to AI bullying), and she has not lost a single defeat for three consecutive days.

Command an unarmored battle? It sounds like a bit of a chess game...... I did it!

And just when Xi'o was full of energy and was about to try it now, Yin Eun was also relieved in his heart.

While it is true that the computing power of Terra's heart cannot handle Yin Eun's combat and war systems at the same time, it has not reached the point where one side is running at full strength and the other side is stopping.

But Yin Eun had to leave a margin of one or two percent as a backhand at a critical moment - Xiou was willing to help with this, and it did help a lot.

As for the fact that Theo has no experience in commanding unarmored warfare at all, it doesn't really matter at all: Terra's Heart has a full set of database and soul applications ready to activate as soon as Theo's dragon soul is in place.

To put it simply, Theo is the dragon of Terra's Heart, responsible for providing strategic decision-making and computing power, and the specific tactics, Terra's Heart will solve it by itself.

"Hopefully I'm well prepared...... This is the first challenge of my future career. ”

Walking out of the conference room with Theo, Yin En stood at the top of his lord's mansion, silently overlooking his own land.

July has arrived, and the hot sun is shining on the hot and humid city after the morning rains.

The streets crisscrossed before his eyes, as did the Heart of Terra, the most powerful artificial intelligence known.

Hidden in the deepest part of the Void Realm, it is building a powerful enough wireless intelligent network, a spiritual network, through the signal base stations laid in every corner of Nanling.

With it, Yoon can reach out to every factory and city hall in Southridge, and he can supervise every production plan while monitoring whether everyone is abiding by the production rules and whether they are corrupt.

Creating Terra's Heart is Yoon's most successful and correct choice, after all, he can't do everything alone, but put his world in the hands of others...... It's not that Yoon doesn't trust his partners or future officials, but they're all humans, and humans make mistakes.

The only thing he can do as a leader is to use as many methods as possible to reduce the likelihood of them making mistakes.

Only with adequate information acquisition and transmission channels can AI play its greatest role, whether it is government or business action, those parts of the work that are full of 'oil' and water' and 'greasy' must be replaced by an efficient and stable, unified and non-betrayal intelligent management system.

Not to mention anything else, in Nanling, after Yin En absolutely did not allow his order to be issued, the people below took chicken feathers as arrows, expanded the treatment, and used policies to make trouble for the people, which in turn brought trouble to the implementation of policies.

As long as anyone dares to do this, Yin Eun will definitely kill the killer - really think that Yinfeng Ling needs so many officials? If you don't do a good job, use it as a battery for a good artificial intelligence!

His law is iron, and absolutely no one is allowed to provoke.

"In Nanling, it's enough for the time being."

With a silver glow in his eyes, Yin En looked around his city, but his vision followed the vein of Terra's Heart, sweeping every corner of Nanling: "Almost the entire province is lit up by me, and my position will not be shaken even after the war." I'm already in control of Southridge in the real sense of the word. ”

"But the calculating power of Terra's Heart hasn't been fully utilized yet—there are too few souls and not enough energy."

"Next, either use time to pile up, or find the right opportunity to obtain a large number of high-quality souls."

The question is, where do high-quality souls come from?

Yoon looked to the north.

Demon.

Isn't a demon the highest quality soul?

That's why Yoon is so careful with the demon legions - not only because the enemy is stronger, but also because he has a strong thirst for the enemy himself.

Be sure to ensure that the enemy's hole cards are played to the fullest, and there is no resistance at all...... You must defeat them head-on and above board, so that you can dispose of all the spoils.

There must be no loss, and there must be no accidents.

"No matter whose life it is, I will not waste it...... Even the soul of my enemies is my currency. ”

Lowering his eyes, Yoon looked at his city.

Xiahui City, as the main city of the Silver Peak Lord, is now operating with extraordinary efficiency in a state of war, all the alchemy workshops, all the industrial parks, are all overloaded, and the vehicles transporting supplies back and forth on the streets will leave with weapons and potions immediately after transporting raw materials.

If it is managed by people, there will definitely be a certain amount of corruption in this process. But relying on the management of artificial intelligence, at the very least, there will be no problems in terms of distribution.

Under the huge war propaganda, everyone knows that the demon army is powerful and terrifying, but it is also because of the propaganda of the silver peak leader, everyone knows the power of the new army, and the scene of the demon army repeatedly being deflated under the sneak attack of the silver peak leader, everyone has no fear of the demon.

The enemy is strong, but not invincible, and behold—the machines that roll out of the factories, the giants of steel that are huge and majestic, armed with those exoskeletons and powerful guns, even the old peasants can defeat the beasts.

Now, the whole city is tense because of the invasion of the demon army, but it is also united and strong because of it.

Of course, mental health can't be overlooked by hard work: according to City Hall policy, there will be three ice cream and drink distribution points in each of the five squares in Xiahui City, and everyone with proof of paying taxes or student will receive a free ice cream and ice drink every day.

On the first day of this policy, the sound of praise filled the entire city, and even the fusion demon fusion shadow praised 'Long live Yoon' from the heart.

Although he still thinks he is a spy in the Flamelands, it doesn't matter if he spies or not.

As long as Yoon Eun can continue to bring victory and peace to the people, then his realm will always be as prosperous as it is.

But in this prosperity, there will always be spoilers.

【Beast Tide, Yin Eun】

In the early morning of the next day, Yin En connected to the emergency communication of the Marquis of Batun, and the old man's serious voice was raised: [In the direction of the Golden Plains, the beast tide is coming! 】
