Chapter 787: Blackmailing Lanshan
Just when the half-immortals were talking, the battle ahead was still in full swing.
On the surface, the demon race suffered countless casualties, but the human monks suffered very little damage, and it seemed that the shape was very good.
But in fact, anyone who understands can see that something is not good on the Terran side.
Without the support of the law on the ground, Momen's warships had to go all out in order to barely block the attack of the demon army.
But the problem is that Momen's warships can't output at full strength for too long, because the power they consume comes from the aura stored in the Yuan Qi pool.
Except for a few high-level warships that have been transformed, most of the other warships are still the same as before, and the vitality pool can only meet the aura consumption of a day of all-out combat.
And once the vitality pool is completely exhausted, then the Momen fleet must burn a large number of spirit stones and spirit beads in order to maintain its current combat effectiveness.
If tens of thousands of warships burned spirit stones and spirit beads together, the amount consumed would definitely be extremely terrifying. Even if the two Kunlun sects are rich, they will definitely not last long, anyway, it will not be possible to last for a few years.
And Huo Wufang had already seen this problem, so he retreated while fighting, trying to slowly get closer to the front behind, where the formation had already begun to be arranged.
Once there is the protection of the large array, the pressure on the Momen fleet will be much, much less.
However, although Huo Wufang thought well, he couldn't completely handle it according to his intentions, because it took a lot of time to arrange the formation.
Although Lanshan Zhenren immediately sent a large number of personnel to arrange the formation on the second front, it still took three days to reluctantly set it up, and finally locked the thousand-thousand-long front.
And in the past three days, Momen's warships have already exhausted the stock of the vitality pool, and they can only keep burning spirit stones and spirit beads to ensure full output.
In just these two days, the wealth of one billion spirit beads has been consumed, an average of 500 million per day!
Of course, all this money must have come from the two sects of Kunlun, and they were really distressed.
But then, something even more distressing happened to him. Even if the second battleship arrives, with the protection of the large array, the pressure on the Momen fleet is reduced by more than half, and it still needs to burn spirit stones and spirit beads.
It's just that the consumption this time is much smaller, and the average daily consumption of two or three hundred million spirit beads is about the same.
This is also something that can't be helped, the demon army is too powerful, and too cunning, their number is terrifying, and the quality is extremely high, almost every moment there are thousands of monsters above the eighth order from the space passage to kill.
Among them, there are some ninth-order, and even tenth-order terrifying beings, who have extremely high intelligence and survivability, and can often break through the fire blockade and launch a surprise attack in front of the fleet.
Although Fang Lie and the Sword God intercepted a lot, it was still impossible to be all of them at the moment, these fish that slipped through the net would pose a huge threat to the fleet, and many monks died in their hands, Fang Lie didn't have time to rescue.
Moreover, the battleships of Momen have also begun to show losses, eight low-level warships have been destroyed, and dozens more have been severely damaged and have to retreat back for repairs.
In this case, Momen's battleships must maintain a high level of combat effectiveness. And it is obviously not enough to count on the temporary transformation of the spiritual energy of the Yuan Qi Furnace, it is also necessary to burn the spirit stones and spirit beads.
However, Momen can ignore this loss, anyway, it will be borne by the Kunlun two sects in the end.
But the two Kunlun sects couldn't stand it anymore. The loss of two or three hundred million spirit beads a day is six or seven billion per year! Even if they have some strategic reserves, they will definitely not be able to reach this number!
Even if it is the richest Momen in the mortal world, the strategic reserve is more than 10 billion small spirit beads.
Moreover, this demonic disaster may last for several years, and if it continues to be consumed like this, I am afraid that the two sects of Kunlun will not be enough to smash the pot and sell iron.
So, after the battle line was stabilized, Lanshan Zhenren invited one of Fang Lie's clones over to discuss the matter.
He was afraid that he would offend Fang Lie this time, so he didn't dare to talk in front of all the half-immortals, but invited Fang Lie to a secret room.
After the two of them were polite, Lanshan Zhenren said straight to the point: "Lord Fang Ling, don't hide it, now the daily consumption of spirit beads is more than 200 million, we really can't afford it, the two Kunlun sects combined, the strategic reserve is only 20 billion, and it will last for a hundred days at most." But this damn demon tide lasted for years!"
"Well, this is indeed a problem~" Fang Lie said unhurriedly: "Then what do you mean?"
"Can you ask Momen to send one more fleet of the same size, one fleet to fight in the front, and the other to use the Yuan Qi Furnace in the rear, so that you can stagger them, wouldn't you be able to save a lot of consumption?" Arashiyama said hurriedly.
"Hehe~" Fang Lie smiled slightly, and then said without hesitation: "This is obviously impossible, Momen has already taken out half of the family foundation, and then take out half of it, what about the hometown?"
"Now that the enemy is present, whoever dares to sneak attack Momen will be the enemy of all our righteous paths!" Lanshan Zhenren hurriedly swore: "Not only that, but we can also make a covenant, within 100,000 years after the war, the enemy of Momen is the enemy of our Kunlun two sects, and if Momen is destroyed, Kunlun will be destroyed! So, okay?"
"It's not good~" Fang Lie shook his head and said: "You Kunlun are now mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect yourself, what's the use of saying this? Especially now, you may all be unable to protect the mountain gate, who is still afraid of you? So you can't scare those demon sects, nor those powerful demon clans, it's complete nonsense!"
"You?" Lan Shan Zhenren suddenly turned green with anger, and he couldn't help but say: "Is it possible, do you want to watch Kunlun perish? You know, we are now in a relationship with cold lips and teeth, and if we are finished, the entire mortal world will also be lost!"
Arashiyama's words are not false at all, the demon world on the opposite side is extremely powerful, with a 12th-order demon lord in charge. He regarded the mortal world as a piece of fat, just like the people on Fang Lie's side would regard the Middle Thousand Worlds as treasures.
So, once they are allowed to gain a foothold, they will pour out like a tidal wave until the entire mortal world is turned into demonic land. At that time, this was a paradise for monsters, and the human race would become slaves, even pig-like food, and no sect would be spared.
In this regard, Fang Lie smiled slightly and said: "Naturally, I can't watch this happen, so I can still provide you with some help, but don't mention the matter of the fleet, we can't let the Momen be empty, I don't know how many powerful sects in history are just because the old nest is empty, and they are taken advantage of by others and destroyed in one fell swoop." There are too many lessons from the past, and we have offended the strongest Zhu Immortal, killing gods, we will definitely not make this kind of mistake. ā
"Well, since you are unwilling to send a fleet, then I may ask, do you have any good way to solve the problem at hand?" Lanshan Zhenren said solemnly: "Don't sue me to borrow usury, I don't want the Kunlun two sects to bear countless debts from now on." ā
"Of course I'm not that dark~" Fang Lie smiled: "Actually, I mean, you can buy physical shells to survive this crisis." ā
"Physical cannonballs?" Arashiyama immediately frowned, "I know that thing, it is indeed very powerful, but it is even more expensive, several times higher than the cost of directly burning spirit beads." I'm looking for you to find a way to cut my expenses, but you're better at asking me to spend more? Are you sure you're not kidding me?"
"Hehe!" Fang Lie smiled slightly, and said, "Master Sect, you don't really think that Momen's battleship can fire at full strength for a few years, right? I clearly tell you, even a ninth-order battleship can't do this." ā
"This~" Arashiyama Zhenren frowned and said: "I know, low-level warships, fighting with all their strength for a month, is the limit, whether it is the Divine Pattern Formation, or the Divine Thunder Tower and other weapons, they will be worn out in frequent use, and they must be repaired and maintained before they can continue to participate in the war." And this time, not less. ā
"That's right, the vast majority of warships can't fight without stopping forever, although the quality of Momen's warships is good, one or two months is almost the limit, only those above the ninth order can fight continuously for about a year, and many eighth-order warships can only last for four or five months, so they must be maintained. So, even if you have an endless number of spirit beads for us to consume, we can't maintain continuous fire suppression, and we must have a period of rest!but~"
Fang Lie changed his words and said with a smile: "The physical cannonball is different, it is extremely powerful, but the spiritual energy consumed is very small, a battleship, only relying on the spiritual energy transformed by the Yuan Qi furnace, can support the bombardment of hundreds of physical machine guns." And this special cannon is also easy to install, manufacture, and can be made out with a light yƬ. So, if you want to have a lot of firepower that lasts for years, physical shells are the best choice for you. ā
"But the problem is, the physical cannonball is too expensive!" Arashiyama Zhenren smiled bitterly: "I can't even afford the consumption of 200 million spirit beads per day, and this thing, I'm afraid it will cost 1 billion spirit beads per day, right?"
"Maybe more, but it doesn't matter~" Fang Lie said with a smile: "I can collect an eighth-order magic weapon, one piece is enough to exchange for a few months of cannonballs, from the first order to the fifth order, it's enough!"
Lanshan Zhenren reacted at this time, and said angrily: "So your kid is waiting for me here?"
"Hehe, your two Kunlun sects must have a lot of eighth-order demon sect magic weapons in their hands, and you can't use them yourself anyway. Instead of eating ashes in the warehouse, why don't you just give it to me, right?" Fang Lie said with a smile.
Arashiyama thought for a moment and said, "If you want those things, I can give them to you, but the number of physical shells we need is calculated in the billions, are you sure you can supply them?"
