The combined forces will certainly be beneficial in the long run.

But it will damage the current interests of some cities and kingdoms.

This requires a long-term vision and a certain degree of cohesion.

At first, the Western Alliance and the Northern Alliance were unable to do so.

But now, seeing the tangible results and the tough stance of a group of extraordinary people, the kingdoms and cities, no matter how reluctant they are, have no choice but to agree.

But they are still bargaining over the specific military strength to be deployed.

The more this happens, the less willing local governments will be to contribute more.

They were worried that if the joint forces were too small and ineffective, they would ultimately have to rely on the resources and manpower they had to defend their city.

In the end, the combined forces of the three major camps, with the Eastern Alliance having the largest number, followed by the Western Alliance, and the Northern Alliance having the smallest number, only totaled 600,000 people.

For this situation.

Some visionary people are almost discouraged.

For example, Queen Lancamdo.

Lancamdo is located inland, and has her daughter Catherine, a third-level transcendent, so its defensive force is almost the strongest in the Northern Alliance.

even so.

When I think of the future scene I saw from the special envoy of the Pan-Human Guardian Association, I still shudder.

Endless strange beasts continued to rush madly along the coast.

Do these countries think they can defend themselves alone? "Now that things have come to this, mother, we should be prepared for both situations." Catherine, the eldest princess of Lancam, tied up her golden hair, dressed in military armor, and looked calm. "The combined forces should play as much of a role as possible. It will eventually reduce the number of alien beasts. In addition, we should be prepared to receive the remnants of the defeated soldiers in the coastal areas and build Lancam into the last line of defense of the Northern Alliance."

"You want to..." The queen looked at her daughter.

"Clear out the strange beasts in the territory, open up a passage to the border, and then build a city wall along the border! Even protect the entire country!" Catherine raised her hand and waved, her tone firm.

It’s no longer about building walls outside cities.

But along the entire border.

This is undoubtedly a huge plan.

But at this moment.

Catherine was not the only one who had similar ideas. The entire Eastern Union was also discussing an extremely huge project!

"Once the army gathers, the first task is to open up transportation channels from various provinces to the coast." Lin Xinran drew long horizontal lines on the map of the coastal areas of the entire country. "All people must not be trapped in the city. We must at least build five lines of defense and leave a retreat for the people in each line of defense if the line of defense is breached."

This is not just for defense against alien beasts.

It is also to provide a retreat route when the cities in the coastal areas are unable to resist the final beast tide.

To preserve people’s lives to the greatest extent possible.

As soon as this extremely large engineering project was proposed, it shocked many people.

"Such a wall and defense line would be tens of thousands of miles long! Many people would be sacrificed." A master said with great emotion, "Not only the soldiers, but also the construction workers would be in great danger. If we want to complete this task within the remaining seven or eight months, at least hundreds of millions of people will have to be mobilized to participate."

"We have to do it!" Gu Qishui said, "This is not just for one city or one province, but for the entire country and civilization! Once the application of laser weapons is completed, these defense lines and city walls will be the most powerful barriers that our generation will leave for future generations!"

Laser weapons, combined with city walls, are a truly powerful line of defense.

This is to use the sweat and lives of countless people of their generation to create a living space for the entire civilization in this world full of strange beasts!

Eventually, no one objected.

"This project can indeed buy as much time as possible." Shen Yi nodded after seeing their plan. "It is equivalent to uniting independent and scattered cities to form a common defense line that can attack or retreat. It is not only very useful in resisting the tide of marine beasts, but also helps the cohesion and integrity of the entire civilization."

After all, if we really defend ourselves in cities and fight each other on our own, civilization will inevitably split in the long run.

"The Northern Alliance lacks understanding of the latter. They have not yet considered themselves as a whole." Ding Xiang also said.

"This is a difference in civilization." Shen Yi shook his head and stopped exploring this topic. He suddenly asked, "How many people are left in the world now?"

At this point in the war, although not many cities had been destroyed, the number of people who lost their lives was still terrifying.

The vast majority of them come from chaotic areas.

Secondly, there is the sacrifice of soldiers.

Ding Xiang quickly gave the number.

"There are 5.2 billion people in total. The Eastern Alliance has the largest number of people, with 1.9 billion. The second largest is the Western Alliance, with 1.7 billion. The last is the Northern Alliance, with only 1.4 billion people left."

What remains are those who are struggling to survive in the chaotic areas.

Shen Yi nodded slightly.

In these few months, he obtained about 3 billion points.

This means that, according to normal fate, most of these people would have died at this moment.

However, the time consumed to earn these points is also huge.

Over the past few months, the number of extraordinary people in the world has reached about 28,000. After 6,000 people were sacrificed, there are still 220 million people left. These people alone have consumed more than 1 billion of Shen Yi's points.

Trial Tower, weapons and equipment, extraordinary growth, inheritance cards. Many of them have grown to the second level.

But they also play a huge role.

They are almost the most elite fighting force in the entire world, and they also provide support everywhere. Facing the increasing number of second-level monsters, they have saved countless cities and greatly slowed down the time for the third-level monsters to appear.

Most of the points were earned due to them.

In addition, the fighter jets that Shen Yi bought, including the combat damage and energy consumption of these fighter jets, also consumed hundreds of millions of points.

Add some draws where no key items were won.

Shen Yi now only has about 800 million points left.

Is that a lot? Not really.

"Add another 400 fighter jets to assist this project." Shen Yi waved his hand, and another 100 million points were thrown out.

He now realizes that he doesn't have enough points to spend.

If you want to earn more, you also have to invest.

That's good.

These inputs can also be considered as investments.

Investment in the development of the association.

These extraordinary people cultivated by the Pan-Human Guardian Association, these purchased fighter jets, and this civilization where it is unknown how many people will survive in the end, are likely to bring rich returns in the future.

Lin Xinran and others were even more excited when they received further support from the association, as if it meant that the association also supported their vast and grand project.
