Jiang Lin accidentally transmigrated to the Southern Blacksmith Camp of the Great Gan Dynasty, becoming a fire-stoking apprentice. While others meticulously honed their skills step by step, he was ...
Chapter 515 Preparation
In ten years, the Dagan border army conquered hundreds of thousands of miles of land.
The number of border troops has expanded from more than 10 million ten years ago to more than 50 million today.
The changes brought about by the large number of people are very clear.
There are 20 to 30 million people just to ensure the food, clothing, shelter and shelter of the border troops, and they are still very busy.
Fortunately, the medicinal materials from the second world were used to refine countless pills.
This allows everyone's cultivation to continue to improve, making the journey easier.
Otherwise, the logistics supply route of hundreds of thousands of miles alone would be enough to exhaust people to death.
To this day, the unconquered land is less than 100,000 miles, and there are only five dynasties left.
They have completed their mutual annexation and now have united an army of 30 million with the intention of making a final resistance.
However, there will be no suspense about the result. When the number of border troops reaches 50 million, there will be no rivals in the pit world.
Even the powerful clans are now very obedient.
From the government army to the government office, all positions of real power were replaced by people from the imperial court.
Ten or twenty years ago, this kind of thing would have been enough to make the powerful clans turn the table.
But now they have lost the courage to overturn the table, nor do they have the strength to do so.
The battle with the Qingzhou Li family in the past caused great damage to the powerful clan. This is the thing that the powerful clan regrets the most.
If they had known this would happen, they would rather let the Qingzhou Li family go and ignore all the hatred to save themselves.
And the source of all this lies in Jiang Lin.
The powerful clans are well aware of this.
If Jiang Lin hadn't released those Daowu Realm ancestors to bring back the message, how could this disaster have happened?
But there is no point in talking about this now, as Jiang Lin's status and position have already surpassed anyone else.
If Emperor Shun is the ruler of the Dagan Empire, then Jiang Lin is the military lord who can stand on equal footing with him!
Dozens of generals in Dagan were all his old acquaintances, including his brothers in life and death like Liao Mingxu.
Of the two disciples, Song Ziyan arrived later and is now a general.
Although Miao Yonghuai is still the general, it is said that he will be promoted to marshal in the next military expansion.
Not to mention that all the weapons in the world were made by Jiang Lin, and the Blacksmith Camp was undoubtedly the number one department, surpassing the grand occasion when Dagan was first established four hundred years ago.
Over the past ten years, Jiang Lin's many skills have been continuously improved.
[Skill 1: Level 15 Mastery, perfect control of flame temperature within 15,000 degrees, increase fire efficiency tenfold, improve casting material quality tenfold, 23% chance of improving casting material grade (no upper limit), castings returned to the furnace for calcination have a 30% chance of improving grade, and a 9% chance of improving two grades]
[Skill 2: Level 15, Yi Jin Cheng Feng, improves the quality of castings by five times, and the hammer will definitely increase the level of refining, and objects can be fused forged, attributes +10]
[Skill 3: Level 3: You can see through the sea and the mulberry fields, and the long years are all in your sight]
[Skill 4: Level 5 furnace method, the body is the furnace, the mind is the hammer, gold essence and fire essence are the materials, to forge an indestructible golden body (progress 13.7/100), can increase one's own skills by 90%]
[Skill 5: Level 12 Reborn, Perfect Quenching, Improves the quality of castings by 300% (15% may be doubled), and the attributes of castings +7]
[Skill 6: Level 7 arrows never miss their target, accuracy within field of view increased by 100%, damage increased by 30%]
[Skill 7: New at level 12, perfect sharpening, improves the quality of castings by 300% (15% may be doubled), and the properties of castings +7]
[Skill 8: Level 13 Nine Revolutions completed, 100% success rate in alchemy, improves pill quality sixfold, 50% chance of upgrading the grade, can create primary, intermediate, advanced, top and extraordinary pill recipes]
All skills have been upgraded by at least three or four levels, with the biggest change being Mastery.
Among them, the magical skill, a 23% chance of improving the quality of casting materials (no upper limit), has created many surprises.
With the subsequent re-smelting of the castings, there is a 30% chance of improving the grade, and a 9% chance of improving it by two grades. The low-grade holy weapon that Jiang Lin casually made has a high chance of being upgraded to a high-grade holy weapon.
As for the original mid-grade and top-grade magic weapons, they were directly promoted to extraordinary quality.
So far, Jiang Lin's highest record is to upgrade seven levels in a row, directly upgrading a holy weapon to a top-grade extraordinary weapon.
Unfortunately, this skill seems to have a hidden negative attribute.
The higher the original grade, the smaller the probability of promotion.
So if it really reaches the top-grade divine weapon, it can only be upgraded three levels at most, and it is only one step away from reaching the boundary-breaking quality.
Despite this, this magical skill is still terrifyingly powerful.
Jiang Lin is able to mass-produce top-grade magical weapons and weapons of extraordinary quality, and he deserves the title of the Lord of Weapons.
Thanks to this, the generals and commanders of the border troops were all delighted.
The marshals each have a weapon of extraordinary quality, the generals each have a top-grade magic weapon, and as for the lieutenant generals, the worst they have is a low-grade magic weapon.
In addition, the blacksmith camp now has more than 100,000 people, and the number of precious weapons produced every day is tens of thousands.
The lowest level of those military officers were Xuanbing, and the Baobing were all delegated to ordinary sergeants.
With the upgrade of weapons and the improvement of skills, the battle power of the border troops has increased more than ten times compared to ten years ago.
Even if the dynasties within a hundred thousand miles united, how could they be a match for Da Gan?
The end of destruction is already inevitable.
Therefore, the Dagan court no longer paid attention to those dynasties, and the generals could lead their troops there on their own.
There is only one thing that the court is most concerned about now.
That is the Shocking God Formation!
A month ago, Emperor Shun finally made it clear about the matter of the Jingshen Formation.
Using giant skeletons as weapons, tens of millions of border troops were integrated into it, relying on a unified will to drive powerful divine bodies to fight.
Everyone in the room was shocked by the idea.
Although some people knew about this in advance, they still trembled when they heard Emperor Shun bring it up.
We have tens of millions of border troops and are now invincible. Why do we still have to do this?
Emperor Shun did not hide anything and also told the news about the pit world.
To know that a range of a million miles is just a small hole in the larger world.
There are giants like this everywhere out there, fighting each other. If we don't follow their example, sooner or later we will encounter an unexpected disaster.
Those who learned about this for the first time naturally did not believe it.
How is it possible that there are millions of miles of potholes?
If this is just a small pit, how big is the world outside?
Are there countless giant divine bodies? Do they really exist?
But no one dared to question Emperor Shun, not to mention that Jiang Lin was there to testify.
The two most powerful people in the Dagan Empire stood together, and even if they had a lot of doubts, they had to swallow them back.
"Duke Jiang will tell you what happened next," said Emperor Shun.
Jiang Lin stood beside the dragon throne, looking at the ministers below with different expressions.
Today's imperial palace has been expanded many times, and the number of ministers has increased more than tenfold.
After all, with a territory of hundreds of thousands of miles, the original number of people is far from enough.
Even though the distance was far, Jiang Lin's voice was still clearly heard by everyone.
"In fact, the Shocking Spirit Formation should not have been used so early. But in the distant future, there are things you don't know, but only I understand."
"The number of border troops is not enough, but it is enough to drive the giant divine body."
"But the giant divine bodies from the outside world that Your Majesty just mentioned are not the ones we want to conquer. Our enemies are from other worlds."
Emperor Shun couldn't help but glance sideways, as he had just learned about this matter not long ago.
Jiang Lin told him that the first thing to be conquered was not the giant divine body, but other worlds.
Emperor Shun couldn't understand it at first. It was obvious that the outside world was more dangerous and closer to the current predicament, so why should he seek something far away instead of something near?
Wouldn't it be more in line with the needs to solve the immediate crisis first?
What Jiang Lin said to him then was the same as what he said to the ministers now.
A lot of things happened in the distant future, you don’t know, only I understand.
Emperor Shun once asked Jiang Lin how he knew what would happen in the future.
Jiang Lin did not hide it and told others that he had a special ability, similar to the magic of Xujian Dao, which allowed him to see the future to a certain extent.
Emperor Shun did not have too many doubts, because Jiang Lin's rise was so fast that it was natural for him to have some magical abilities.
"May I ask Lord Jiang, where are the other worlds you mentioned? Even if I have a giant divine body as a weapon, how can I get there?"
Before the minister finished his words, a loud bang was heard outside.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the Hengyu Furnace, several thousand meters high, falling from the sky and landing outside the palace.
Jiang Hengyu sat upright on a lotus seat, divine light lingering around his body, like an innate deity, making people awe-inspiring and dare not look directly at him.
Ten years later, Hengyu Furnace has completed its second extraordinary promotion.
But Jiang Lin did not let him continue exploring the world, but continued to store energy just for today.
Jiang Lin said loudly: "The Hengyu Furnace can tear open the world's barrier, so we can send the giant divine body over to join the battle. Start with the weakest hostile world, conquer it step by step, and become stronger."
"Until one day, the giants from the outside world became ants in our eyes."
In countless futures, the outside world is conquered first, then the Nine Heavens are reached, and other worlds are conquered based on the main world.
But after discussing with his future self for a long time, Jiang Lin thought, since these paths have been proven to be wrong, why not give up the main world and start with other worlds first?
The main world is neither the weakest nor the strongest.
If we confront it at this point in time, it will delay the process for a long time.
On the contrary, if you start from the weakest world, you can save more time.
When picking persimmons, pick the soft ones first.
Jiang Lin's idea was fully recognized by his future self. This was a path that he had never taken before and had a certain chance of success.
So after leaving Macro Universe, Jiang Lin let the powerful clans go and let them go to war with the Qingzhou Li family.
And in the back mountain of Xujian Dao, the master of Xujian Dao was given a new choice.
Now we have let go of our hostility and vigilance towards the outside world. Everything we do is to save time and resources, and to focus all our energy on preparing for the conquest of other worlds.
So far, there has been no problem with this strategy.
The powerful clans were defeated in the internecine strife, and there had been no movement in Xujian Dao for ten years. The mysterious Taoist master was very peaceful.
Now the border troops are about to completely conquer the pit world. Once all hostile dynasties are wiped out and the world is completely unified, the world will be at peace in theory.
By then, all the border troops will be integrated into the giant skeletons, and there will be a foundation for conquering other worlds.
The ministers looked at each other in surprise. This idea was too exaggerated, so exaggerated that it was hard for them to imagine.
Just when Emperor Taizu's vision was about to be fulfilled, he had to conquer other worlds. When would this war end?
Jiang Lin didn't want to fight either, but what else could he do?
Four hundred years ago, Ma Ningyan saw the giant divine body outside the pit and realized that she was just an ant.
Therefore, the Dagan conquests never stopped for four hundred years.
Now I can see the more distant future and realize that I am still an ant.
The fierce battle still cannot stop.
It’s just that the goal and reason for the conquest have evolved from the people of the world to the future countless years later.
Jiang Lin did not argue with the ministers because he knew very well that no matter what you said, no one would believe it if they had not seen it.
Just like the four hundred years of war, even now, there are still many people who cannot understand it.
The meaning of war lies in the future.
Mistakes in this life will lead to achievements in the future!
After a brief explanation, Jiang Lin announced that all the provincial troops in the country would take over the guard duties after the border troops left.
The main significance is to suppress the villains who are still operating secretly in various places and trying to restore the country.
The remnants of the old dynasty were not completely killed. They went into hiding and would come out to cause trouble when they had the chance.
Fortunately, the power of the Dagan court has now reached its peak in history, and even Emperor Taizu cannot be compared with it.
Although the combat effectiveness of the government army is not as good as that of the border army, it is enough to be used for suppression.
Besides, now is not the right time to activate the Shocking Spirit Formation.
In order for the border army to completely conquer the last 100,000 miles, it is also necessary to stabilize all living beings in the world.
A rough estimate is that at least five to ten years of preparation will be required.
After these general strategies were laid out, Emperor Shun waved his hand.
The underground palace of the imperial palace's private treasury was opened, and the skeleton of a giant thousands of miles long was transported out.
The powerful and majestic force made everyone who was impacted almost vomit blood.
Fortunately, Emperor Shun immediately ordered people to use special materials to isolate the majestic aura, otherwise all the ministers in the court would have died.
Looking at the huge skeleton of the giant, the ministers were horrified.
They finally understood that what Emperor Shun and Jiang Lin said might be true.
How can Da Gan resist even if there is only one giant divine body like this?
It is imperative to activate the Shocking God Formation.
As for conquering other worlds first, although some people want to oppose it, it will be of no avail.
The advantage of highly concentrated power is that you don’t need to worry too much about opposition from individuals.
The skeletons of giants were continuously thrown into the Hengyu furnace.
The Hengyu Furnace, which had received a second extraordinary promotion, expanded by tens of thousands of meters in an instant and almost emerged from the pit.
The giant skeleton was much bigger than it, but when it was thrown into the furnace, it blended into it very naturally.
Having the ability to explore the world is not just exploration, it also means that Hengyu Furnace has, to a certain extent, possessed the power of space rules.
