Time flies.
Half a year later, Lu Ping led his team to clean up all the large demon caves.
During this six months, Lu Ping's merit and reputation values skyrocketed again, more than doubling from before.
In addition to reputation points and merits, Lu Ping also gained more than 4,000 upgrade pills.
A large number of soldiers were also trained and their ranks were rapidly improved.
The same goes for the warriors. After a year of training, they generally reach the 30th level.
Nearly 10% of the warriors have reached level 35, and even dozens of warriors have reached level 37.
Lu Ping estimated that after this mission, the number of his warriors who had reached level 37 or above would exceed 100.
Although Lu Ping and others' ranks did not improve, their combat experience and abilities were greatly enhanced, especially Mo Xiaoxiao, Zhao Yu and others.
In short, everyone has gained a lot in the past six months.
But there is also bad news. The beasts' continuous attacks for a year have put increasing pressure on the defense of Donghai City.
To date, Lu Ping has lost 300 million soldiers.
This number is equal to the total number of soldiers Lu Ping had before.
This made Lu Ping feel scared. If he hadn't received another 3 billion soldiers, he would have collapsed long ago.
Donghai was under constant attack, as were other cities.
Although other cities have more troops, they are not like the East China Sea, where no black dragon crocodiles appear.
On the contrary, the frequency of black dragon crocodiles appearing is increasing, and their numbers are also increasing.
Under the leadership of the Black Dragon Crocodile, all cities suffered heavy losses.
If these cities had not been equipped with laser towers, they would have been breached long ago.
"How strange! We've destroyed so many demon caves, but why hasn't the herd decreased in number?"
On the city wall, looking at the dark herd of beasts outside the city, Tang Qi frowned and asked.
Hearing her words, Lu Ping narrowed his eyes slightly.
Indeed, all parties formulated plans to eliminate the devil's den in order to solve the problem fundamentally.
The beast herd is produced by the magic cave, and without the magic cave, the beast herd will naturally decrease.
But now it seems that the herd has not decreased, but has become more numerous.
"It should be the lag effect." After thinking about it, Lu Ping replied.
"Well, maybe."
"Otherwise it will be troublesome." Tang Qi nodded.
"Maybe it's not a lag effect. Haven't you ever considered that there are demon dens in other countries?"
At this time, Xia Mo spoke.
"Yes, I forgot about that!"
"Now that I think about it, I'm afraid this is the reason."
"Compared to all the demon caves in the world, the number of demon caves we have destroyed is probably less than one tenth."
"In this case, the beast herd will certainly not decrease." Tang Qi said suddenly.
"If that's the case, then all our work has been in vain. How will this end?" Tang Fang frowned.
"Yeah, when will it end?" Zhao Yu agreed.
"No matter when it ends, we must continue to fight." Lu Ping said firmly.
"Let's go back and discuss how to deal with the remaining giant demon caves."
"Let's finish the task first."
After saying that, Lu Ping walked towards the headquarters.
Everyone followed Lu Ping back to the headquarters.
.......
Inside the conference room.
Lu Ping sat in the first seat, with Xia Mo, Zhao Yuanyi and others sitting beside him.
At this moment, everyone present had a serious and solemn look on their faces.
Everyone realized that they would face even more severe tests.
"This year, we've cleared out four thousand demon caves, a pretty good achievement."
"But even so, we can't be optimistic, because the remaining giant demon caves are the real challenge."
"In addition, the defense pressure in the East China Sea is also increasing. We must have a clear understanding of this and make adequate preparations."
"Let's talk about defense first. Feel free to share your ideas." Lu Ping said straight to the point.
"Commander, the East China Sea defense war is actually a war of attrition. As long as we have sufficient supplies, I think there will be no problem. The key issue now is that our weapons and ammunition may not be able to keep up." Zhao Yuanyi thought for a moment and spoke.
"How long can the weapons and ammunition last?" Lu Ping asked.
"The weapons and ammunition can last for another year, and the other reserves can guarantee at least three years of supply." Zhao Yuanyi replied.
"That means we will have no weapons and ammunition available in a year?" Lu Ping frowned.
"That's right!" Zhao Yuanyi said with a wry smile.
"Can we produce ammunition ourselves?" Lu Ping asked.
"We can definitely produce it. We already have several production lines in operation, but the output is not large. The key is the lack of sufficient raw materials," said Zhao Yuanyi.
"Oh, I see."
Hearing this, Lu Ping nodded.
It is unrealistic for a small country like the East China Sea to produce ammunition in large quantities.
"What if we buy it with reputation?" Lu Ping asked.
"Commander, of course we can buy it with reputation, but the price is too expensive. We can't afford it at all. We can only use it as an emergency." Zhao Yuanyi was stunned for a moment, then spoke.
"Well, I'll think of a way to deal with this matter."
"When will our second city wall be completed?" Lu Ping asked.
"According to the current progress, it will be completed in about a month, and then we will have two inner and outer city walls." Zhao Yuanyi said.
"Okay, then hurry up."
"yes."
"Well, that's all we have to say about defense for now. Everyone, please think about countermeasures when you go back. Feel free to tell me if you have any ideas."
"Now I will announce the grouping. This time we will be divided into two teams."
"I lead a team consisting of Zhao Yu, Mo Xiaoxiao, Zhang Kai, and Wang Taiyuan.
"The remaining people will form another team, led by Tang Qi. We will strive to completely wipe out the giant demon cave within three to four months and complete the mission on time."
"Of course, everyone has worked hard during this period. We will set off again in three days. Everyone should have a good rest."
"The meeting is over, adjourned!"
As soon as Lu Ping finished speaking, everyone left.
Lu Ping also returned to the villa with Xia Mo and others.
"Let Yunyao and Yueyao join you in this operation, otherwise I won't be at ease."
After returning home, Lu Ping gave instructions to Tang Qi and Xia Mo.
"Um."
Hearing this, Tang Qi and the other two nodded quickly.
"Well, remember to be careful. If you can't win, retreat quickly to ensure your own safety." Lu Ping continued to remind him.
