Chapter 288: The Great Victory in the Battle of Nanling and the Clearing of the Battlefield (Ask for a monthly pass!) )
The battle is over. When it was confirmed that the Great Demon Death Knell was gone, and the Dragon Kings had indeed left with the Abyss Dragon, Yin Eun was relieved.
From the prophecy to the beginning of the war, until now, Yin En has continued to prepare, and has continued to do the work of the entire Nanling, not only to promote the people's livelihood, but also to infiltrate the military and political realms.
It's a very tiring, exhausting thing. Even with the assistance of Terra's Heart, which oversees the military production of the entire South Ridge, the specific production plan still has to be decided by Yin En, and the new weapon design has to be manufactured by Yin En himself, not to mention that Terra's Heart is currently unable to independently produce high-precision parts, all of which need to be supervised by Yin Eun or Adalbert.
This victory is basically a way for Yin En to lead a group of people in Nanling to force out a victory from the 99% probability of defeat.
But even so, Nanling still suffered great losses. The Nineteenth Legion and the Silver Peak Leader troops faced the demon army in the first and second lines of defense, but they still suffered considerable casualties.
Yinfeng led the troops to be okay, after all, they were all elites, and they did not directly face the first wave of the impact of the demon army, and the demon army was not in its heyday at that time, and in the end, it was quickly shattered by the space-based weapon, so the casualties were about nine hundred.
However, the casualties of the Nineteenth Legion were more than five thousand—their degree of mechanization was much lower than that of the Silver Peak Commander, and they had even dealt with the first wave of beast and demon attacks, and several positions were pulled out by the fusion officers, and the losses were quite heavy.
Such casualties have broken up several formations within the 19th Army Corps, and many veteran brigades have died on the front line in formations...... This is indeed an extremely heart-wrenching loss, and every veteran of those veteran brigades can lead the team as officers, and their rich combat experience is even more priceless.
But you know, they are facing the first transcendent legion on the Terra continent to officially appear! The demon army was completely annihilated, and the demonic beasts that swept the formation were even more overwhelmed by artillery fire, and the Nanling Legion wiped out the demon army that the seven legions of the Western Legion failed to stop with the strength of one legion - such a record, even if all the survivors were full of sadness in their hearts, but a sense of pride and a sense of accomplishment in protecting their hometown still made everyone cheer in the battle array.
"Not to mention......" Yin En turned his head, he looked at the silver sun in the virtual realm, "From the perspective of the soul, everyone is actually not dead. ”
"At the moment of perceived crisis, it is effective to immediately promote artificial souls among the whole people...... Hmph, it can be regarded as enriching a wave of soul reserves. "That being said, in fact, the real soul reserve is actually those demonic souls that are scattered after the death of the death knell.
These souls were supposed to escape into the Void, only to be captured and deleted by the Void Mech, or dissolved naturally—but now, TerraHeart's mind is swiftly retrieving them under Yin Eun's control.
The condensation of demon souls is far more than that of ordinary people, and the souls of thousands of demons are enough to compare to the soul volume of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.
This is definitely a qualitative improvement for Terra - so far, there are less than 100,000 souls in Terra's Heart, and this time it has directly become ten times as many as before!
Other than that, Yoon Eun didn't want to do anything for the time being. In fact, there was no need to do anything, and the entire South Ridge had fallen into a sea of cheers after witnessing the vision of the heavenly fire and the night turning into daylight, and the final victory—everyone was cheering for victory, cheering for ...... Victory in the Battle of Nanling!
…… Flamelands.
"*Flying Flame Foul Mouth*, what's going on?!" On the front line, the demon general Dark Abyss felt that he was really as demonic as his name, and the entire demon had fallen into the abyss.
Nanling victory? The fall of the South Ridge Demon Legion? The Dragon King Shot? The Dragon of the Abyss was detained? Shrinking of the cursed soil?
The demon legion is in full rout? What the hell, wasn't it better yesterday to attack the cities of the West, and play hide-and-seek with the Imperial Legion and fight guerrillas?
How did things suddenly get so bad! At this moment, the abyss feels like one or two big, and I can't figure out what happened, and the originally good situation will be ruined to this point!
It's not just him, the general general, who can't figure it out, but also the soldiers and the people of the Flying Flame Land.
Demons are okay to say, they are quite single, and they have killed enough anyway, and now they can continue to transform and evolve back to the Flying Flame Land, but the people are different.
From the very beginning when Flying Flame Land took out the Demon Legion, there were many doubts and objections within Flying Flame Land - it's not that it is not okay to use demons against the Empire, almost 100% of the residents of Flying Flame Land thought 'Use the Demon Legion against the Empire for our sake!'
With this kind of thought, they were just worried that the upper echelons of the Flame Land would not use their own locals as raw materials for transforming demons.
Yes, the reputation of the kings is not so bad, but in a place like Terra, don't trust the morality of these strong people too much...... It may not make sense to be a little more skeptical, but maybe you can avoid a major crisis?
With the victory after victory, the acceptance of the demon army by the people of the Flying Flame Land is getting higher and higher, which is actually equivalent to the revenge war against the enemy country, when their own people took out large-scale indiscriminate weapons of destruction, fear is fear, but it is really cool to see the destruction befall the enemy.
But now, the demon army was suddenly defeated, and fear came back in an instant. - Demons can lose, so what if the Empire also uses demons?
What if we invade with an army more powerful than the demons? Although it may sound like 'why bother in the first place', the vast majority of human beings have this mentality.
In particular, the Imperial agents have not been sabotaging in the recent period, but have distributed various news pamphlets about the defeat of the Flying Flame Land in the South Ridge and the retreat in the Western Realm, so that the Flying Flame Land cannot be covered up with public opinion.
For a while, there was a bit of a stormy smell inside the Flying Flame Land. But the kings of the Flying Flame Land were unexpectedly calm.
It can even be said that the calm is a little too abnormal. No matter what the force is, even if it is prepared for defeat from the beginning, when it suddenly encounters an enemy who will not attack at all, it will more or less complain, or it will not retreat if it is holding on to face.
But in fact, the performance of the kings of the Flying Flame Land was very simple: all the demons on the side of the South Ridge were annihilated, and they did not say a word, while the remaining demon legions in the western realm continued to fight, fighting and retreating, just sticking to the entrances and exits around the Misty Forest, obviously about to switch from an invasion war to a protracted war.
It's just that in the case of the cursed soil greatly shrinking and the Abyss Dragon being taken away, it is a question whether they can survive the great counterattack of the empire.
However, having said that, there are still many people in the Alliance of the Kings of the Flying Flame Land who have set their sights on Nanling.
At the time of the use of the demons, they were ready to hand over the Abyss Dragon and leave the Abyss Consciousness behind.
But I never thought that this day would come so quickly...... Moreover, the Demon Legion was not in the hands of the Empire's extraordinary army, but in the remote countryside of Nanling.
No, it's not a country place anymore. The powerhouses who were staring at Nanling all discovered an astonishing fact at this moment.
That is, under the full transformation and development of Yinfeng Ling, with the traffic avenues of Xiahui City, Nauman City and Port Harrison as the core, three large urban agglomerations have been formed, and they have used various electronic information network technologies including terminals, and there are many small inventions and tools that seem to exist only in the pre-era civilization are used in people's lives.
A new agricultural system, a variety of industrially produced fertilizers, highly safe industrially processed food, and a complete set of mechanized warfare systems...... At first glance, it seems that Yin Eun's fight against the demon legion is just a variety of alchemy splices and some simplified armor, but if you look closely, you will find ...... Does this kid have a database of pre-era civilizations?
"He probably does." One of the kings said, "The Great Labyrinth of the South Seas, the Xenomorph Research Institute, and possibly, the legacy of Yin Naijia's fellowship...... At that time, the nobles within the empire were very opposed, so they did not succeed in restoration. ”
"But in Nanling, a small place where the imperial nobles say everything, no one says no word about his reforms in related aspects."
"Earl Yinfeng first transformed in his own territory, and then spread to most of Nanling while the war was spreading, and now, Nanling is no longer a remote area, but should be a high-tech development zone with great potential."
"Now, the only question is, is the empire using Nanling as a test field to observe the consequences of the transformation of related technologies? If so, then our situation is more dire than we think. In the unspeakable silence of the outside world, Flying Flame silently revised his opinion of Nanling.
And what about the Empire? Some people in the empire did sit back and watch Yin En's reforms and regarded Nanling as a testing ground.
For example, the eldest prince and the second prince, the reason why these two support Yin En is because they believe in Yin En's ability, and Yin En shows similar technical tendencies to them.
When the eldest prince learned the news of the 'Great Victory in the Battle of the South Ridge Guard', he smiled and clapped his palms in admiration, and as he continued to read the relevant information, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
The unity of the Cult, the activation of the Giants of Light, and the final blow against the Great Demon Deathknell...... Each one tickled at him, and each one made him feel that Yin Eun was worthy of the talent he had invested in, and he had really done everything he wanted to do.
"This giant of light's technique, whether it is psionic energy or essentia technique, I will definitely ask Yin En for a lesson or two." Nodding slightly, Carlos exclaimed: "It can make people play the strength of the third energy level, if it weren't for the sneak attack of the Flying Flame Land before, which made Yin En expose this hole card, then whoever thinks he can attack the Silver Peak Leader will encounter its head-on attack - the general third energy level is not pleasing at all, and the fourth energy level is ...... Look at this big demon, I estimate that if the fourth energy level in the future doesn't have some confident hole cards, he will not want to go to the silver peak to sabotage it. "Nonsense, what Yinfeng Leader has shown this time is Yin En, Xiou, Manya and Giant of Light.
Marquis Batun's choice to set up a stall is really correct, if he must monopolize the power to suppress Yin En, wouldn't the four third-level rebellions just go sideways in Nanling?
Even if it is the fourth energy level, he is not willing to come to this kind of place to make trouble, and if he is dragged a little bit, he will be caught up by the corresponding fourth energy level of the empire, and the probability of falling is too great.
And the other side. Compared with the surprise of the eldest prince, the second prince felt that part of it was frightened.
As the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Legion, Mikael has been confronting the Nemathas kings lately, dealing with demonic riots in various places, and every day you can hear about cities and villages being razed and slaughtered, and every day you can hear about troops being wiped out...... He really clenched his fists, and he wanted to rush directly into the Flying Flame Land and do a massacre for a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood.
But who knows, the Demon Legion divided one-third of its troops into Nanling, and Mikael had already informed the empire that he was ready to let the Fengxiang Knights go to the rescue, but the result was completely useless - Nanling fought back by himself!
What the hell is this? Although there were more than 12,000 casualties in front and behind Nanling, counting the more than 250,000 civilians killed and wounded in the Golden Plains, and about 3,000 demons and inferior demons were killed.
The army exchange ratio is more than four times, and it is even more terrifying when you count mortals...... But one side is only a mortal army armed by mechanization, and the other side is an extraordinary army!
Such damage is terrible, but if I have to say, it is definitely a big victory. And this result also made Mikael's heart surge.
"The technique left by my grandfather is indeed correct!" He looked at the report of Nanling in his hand, and made up his mind in his heart: "It is worthy that I acquiesce to him to use all technology development freely in Nanling, and this is what I want - my grandfather's reform failure back then had a large number of external reasons, and although Nanling was chaotic, as long as he stood firm, there was no one who could point fingers." ”
"Even if it is simple for a new technology to take root and sprout in a place where there is nothing, it will be difficult to develop it in a place like the imperial capital...... Yes, my grandfather made a mistake here, he always thought about top-down reform, promoting the whole country from the imperial capital, this is wrong, it should start to develop from a rural place like Nanling, and when there is a result, the people on this side of the imperial capital will be envious, jealous, and choose to follow! ”
"This is the right direction!" At this moment, the depressed expression in his heart because of the serious losses of the Western Territory Army was swept away, and the whole person was in good spirits, and then raised his head and looked in the direction of the imperial capital: "Father...... You should have seen it, right? ”
"What the hell would you do?" The imperial capital was silent. The Emperor observed everything in the Silver Peak Territory earlier than everyone else.
He knows, but he doesn't care, he approves, but he doesn't act. Because he also has his own way.
Different from my father, different from that beautiful and idealized vision...... The Defenders always walk their own path.
Now. On the battlefield of Nanling, after a simple victory celebration, Yin En led the team to start cleaning up the battlefield.
Compared with the strategic advantage and the smooth road ahead, the reality is a chicken feather...... There is also a harvest, which is the more important thing.
In just one night and one day, the harvest of the Nanling troops was extremely rich. First of all, Terra's Heart recovered almost all the souls of the fallen - the reason why it was almost but not all was because demons also had the ability to destroy souls, and the battle was so fierce that it was impossible for everyone's souls to be destroyed, which was also quite annoying, which made Yin En determined to transform the artificial souls, put a shell or something, and ensure that Terra's Heart could recover all souls completely.
But this result, only Yin En was dissatisfied, and everyone, including Adbert, was surprised by the power of the Soul Cult: they were able to recover more than 98% of the battlefield souls.
Regarding this achievement, Ms. Yingx, who did not want to be named by the priest of Huaiguang Church and the bodyguard of the 'Holy Light Squad' of the occupational treatment force, said that this kind of thing is difficult for even Huaiguang to do, even the soul of the priesthood has an inexplicable connection with the holy mountain, but this connection is far away, and it is impossible to maintain protection.
After all, the Cult of Soulfulness is still a local sect, and it is outrageous that it can do something of this level - in this case, who would be afraid of death?
Who will fear war? The army of Nanling had already won more than half of it before the war began! In addition to this, Heart of Terra has also recovered a large number of demonic souls.
Because the process of recovering demon souls and dismantling and purifying them takes a while, it is not a real harvest for the time being, but after the death of Inferior Demon Demons and other Void Realm creatures, some spiritual materials are indeed left behind.
For example, Demon Horn, Demon Heart, Demon Claw, etc...... Although these materials cannot be used for the bloodline true form, they are definitely no problem for use in psionic accessories.
Of course, it is possible that a Psionic Trinket made from these materials will cause the wielder to be a little irritable, but having it is better than nothing!
Let alone...... Yin Eun can try to purify them! On the Nanling battlefield today, there are more than 2,000 copies of demonic materials, as well as a large number of demonic beast materials left over from the Warcraft army - Yin En announced that Yinfeng Ling will buy all the loot on the battlefield at a market price, hoping that the soldiers will take out their private materials.
He made it clear about the dangers that demonic materials and monster materials could pose, and swore absolute fairness and justice with his own credibility.
If it were other nobles, even if they were afraid, the soldiers of Nanling would definitely be silent and uncooperative—credibility?
Where does the credibility come from? Who are you, you? But the one who said this was Yin Eun! The Prophet Lord, who has just led them to defeat the demons, bravely fought against the Great Demon Deathbell, and has not retreated from beginning to end!
Can he have any bad thoughts about them? Definitely not, definitely for their good! So, everyone obediently turned in their loot.
Of course, some soldiers just want to keep a little enemy bones as trophies to show off in their hometowns, and Yin Eun will also be very kind to check whether the trophies in their hands have evil thoughts and curses, and if not, he is willing to be kind.
Such a move made the troops of the Nineteenth Legion and the Silver Peak Leader cheer for their commander on the spot - if the original officers and commanders of the Nineteenth Legion saw this scene, they would definitely burst into tears and their eyes would be dark, but now they can't help them, even if their expressions are extremely depressed, they must cheer with everyone.
Because, from today onwards, because of the invasion war in the Flying Flame Land, Nanling is no longer a scattered cluster of small and medium-sized nobles!
It is a complete, unified province under the governance of Yin En and the Governor's Palace! Of course, the most important loot is definitely not the petty fight between these little devils and bad devils.
Yin Eun, Adalbert and the others came to the Void, the fall of the Great Demon Deathknell. Here, a dark ghast is recondensing, trying to revert back to a dark gem.
The jewel-like mist coalesced and dispersed like a stardust aggregate, reflecting the blood-colored flames of the Void...... It seems to want to learn something from all sides, but in the end it is never able to do it, so it can only give up in despair.
"The legacy of the Great Demon." Yin En whispered to himself: "Although the abyss dissipates or is taken away by the abyss consciousness, this most essence soul core is still there. "That's the real takeaway.
