Chapter 390 The First Step
The prosperity is gone and the dross is washed away.
The beauty's dream is shattered by you.
Lin Wen would have nearly broken down if it weren't for this group of gray-clothed demons to relieve his stress.
After the spell ended, all the red makeup disappeared, as if taken away by fairies.
Lin Wenshen let out a deep breath and decided to regard this incident as his biggest black history, and to seal it into the dust of history along with that crappy spell.
Never let me see this spell again.
Although it is indeed very powerful.
Looking back, I saw a river of blood in the mountains, broken limbs scattered all over the ground, and countless sword marks engraved on the earth, filled with blood, like the wounds of a mountain giant.
This bloody scene did not shock Lin Wen. He knew that this was the garbage left after all the demons were eliminated.
These deaths bring a touch of brightness to the world.
When Lin Wen was about to turn around and leave, suddenly, [Phoenix Without Color] touched him again with a light and vital feeling.
Having had this experience once, Lin Wen immediately knew that this was [Without Colorful Phoenix] telling him that there was spiritual energy that could be absorbed!
Is there such a good thing?
Surprised, Lin Wen immediately sat down to meditate.
Auras can be seen in a meditative state. They are like fireflies flying in the night sky, emitting a hazy halo.
Now, countless halos surrounded Lin Wen, like a beautiful picture captured by a montage camera.
Moreover, more halos were emerging from him.
Huh?
Isn't this exactly the same as last time?
The remaining curse also collapsed?
How long has it been since then? Is it collapsing prematurely again?
Lin Wen was slightly confused, but the first priority now was to absorb spiritual energy.
He gathered his mind, focused his spirit, and entered a meditative state. Thousands of halos immediately gathered towards him. The scene was extremely beautiful.
After a moment, the last trace of spiritual energy dissipated into the air, and Lin Wen's spiritual energy was also fully absorbed.
The upper limit of spiritual energy is ten times that of the soul. Lin Wen’s soul has just been upgraded to 305%, and the upper limit of spiritual energy has also changed to 3050 accordingly.
This full absorption is equivalent to three times the number of spells that the polytheistic god can cast.
Well, this harvest is not bad.
After a quick glance at the system, I found that there was no trace of the curse, and attack spells no longer had double the cost.
I'm finally free!
This extremely disgusting curse, like a thorn in the flesh, is finally gone.
It has been going on for so long and has caused me so much trouble... but it has finally been completely resolved today!
Lin Wen's mood suddenly improved, and the dark cloud of being cheated dissipated a lot.
It can be considered a blessing in disguise. Without this curse, I wouldn't be able to open my spiritual energy.
Hahaha.
I didn't expect that [Fairy Descending to Earth] would have such a benefit. Most likely, the fairy's powerful spiritual power impacted the curse, causing the curse to collapse faster.
good.
It was worth the huge sacrifice I made. I used up all my seven fortunes, all my spirit and spiritual energy, and some of my moral integrity in exchange for it.
Humph, this is the emperor's moral integrity.
Lin Wen smiled happily.
It’s barely a loss.
The mountain breeze blew gently, dispelling some of the bloody smell. Looking into the distance, most of Changshan County was dark, but Lin Wen knew that it was a peaceful and tranquil slumber.
People are all in sweet dreams, working hard for tomorrow's work, life, and the expected and visible happy future.
This is how all mortals are.
The same is true for immortals.
There is no essential difference, they are just different fields.
Lin Wen walked down the mountain step by step, stepping on the blood. Behind him were broken limbs scattered all over the mountain, with blood flowing in them. The scene looked like a Shura field.
And he was like a god of war returning from the Shura field.
But Lin Wen seemed unaware, took out his phone and called Qin Luoshuang again.
"Hello."
"Lin Wen, do you know what happened?"
"It's been resolved."
"good."
"Send someone over to deal with the bodies. There are so many."
"good."
"Can you find evidence to bite back?"
"Probably not. The Council and the cult can be disconnected at any time, unless I can find solid evidence of connection."
"You said I should fly over now... send the Dragon Squad to wipe out the Council's lair. What do you think of that?"
"Not good. The Council's headquarters is located at Ring Line Zero in the capital of Shenjing, and it's heavily guarded. In addition to battling the Council's secret forces, you'll also have to face the Imperial Garrison, the Royal Guard, and the Shenjing Guard. The Imperial Garrison and the Royal Guard are both extremely powerful colonial-suited modifiers. They won't fear anyone unless they're attacked head-on by an army of hundreds of thousands."
"What if I send hundreds of thousands of puppets... an army to attack?"
"Then you will be facing a total of three million Central Army and Royal Guards. They are much stronger than the regular army of the Qin Group that you defeated in Tiancangjing Plain."
"Damn, why don't I have spells like invisibility, death curses, and soul control... uh, technology."
"Lin Wen."
"Um?"
"Are you really going to hand over the Dragon Group to me?"
"Yeah, when have I ever lied to anyone?"
"Then your...that one won't have any objections?"
"Which one?"
"I just answered the phone."
For some reason, Lin Wen felt the phone was a little cold and moved it slightly away.
"Won't."
"Really?"
"Well, if I say no, then I won't."
"Is she also in the Dragon Group?"
"Um... here I am."
"Then can I command her...order her?"
"Uh, her appearance fee is too expensive, so let's not look for her."
"oh."
There was a silence.
"By the way, how is the situation on the front line now?"
"Cao Damang's troops have retreated to several towns and strongholds to the south. Li Xueyou has reorganized all of Shizhou's troops, totaling 370,000 men, and is preparing to advance into the mountains from the west. We have already occupied half of Chuanluo County, confiscated approximately 1.3 billion in property and 4 million tons of grain, and eliminated 5,123 bandits and gentry from various locations. Another 10,000 have been taken back to Jiangkou City to await trial."
"That's right." Lin Wen was very happy and reminded me, "If you have to fight with the regular army, notify me immediately."
"good."
Just as Lin Wen was about to hang up the phone, he heard her ask casually, "What's your relationship?"
Lin Wen felt depressed when he thought of this, and replied casually: "Just a subordinate."
"Really? But your tone of voice is very similar, even hanging up the phone is equally decisive."
"Haha..." Lin Wen laughed dryly. He was in a hurry to slay demons and monsters at that time. He died before Qin Luoshuang could finish her words. Maybe she was a little angry?
"I'll reprimand her for this."
"How do you scold?"
Lin Wen answered casually: "How many hundreds of whips?"
"You... forget it, you always refuse to speak properly."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. The greater the ability, the greater the temper. The Dragon Group is full of such troublemakers. It's normal for them to talk back at their superiors."
"There's something wrong with your organization!" The voice on the other end of the line was clearly angry. "I've never seen such a free-spirited spy organization. Something's bound to happen sooner or later if you keep running like this. Give me all management rights and I'll fix things."
"good."
They are just a few puppets, you can do whatever you want with them.
After hearing this answer, the voice on the other end of the phone finally calmed down.
"Okay, don't worry... I'll use the most advanced secret service organization management methods to help the Dragon Group change its free and chaotic style and unleash even greater strength."
"Uh-huh."
"Don't worry too much about Shizhou. The Battle of Tiancangjing gave the General Staff a great shock. I had four army commanders transmit detailed combat information from the front lines and report personally to headquarters. From this battle, they clearly saw that without your special help, 200,000 miscellaneous troops were no match for 50,000 regular troops. Now they have adjusted their positions and are rethinking their previous reckless strategy."
Qin Luoshuang hadn't said anything else. Fortunately, no one was whispering behind her back that she was a surrenderist.
"Yeah, okay."
"Yun Qingshui's organizational work is also very good. We have gained great support from the people. This is not only beneficial to our operations, but also very important to us. I have sent people to collect such information to prove our justice and correctness."
"Um."
Qin Luoshuang talked a lot, covering politics, military affairs, and economics. Lin Wen just listened and occasionally responded.
In this way, the two kept chatting, and Lin Wen didn't even know when she hung up the phone.
When he came to his senses, he had already fallen asleep in bed with the expectation of settling the bill tomorrow.
——
It was not until three o'clock in the morning that Archbishop Dro confirmed that the Gray Legion had been completely wiped out, while Changshan County was unscathed.
This result caused a huge shock in the cult. If the Gray Legion was wiped out by the regular army, it would not be a big deal.
However, the deep-sea spies in Changshan County reported that there was no sign of any troop movement. When a large number of people gathered in Changshan County, the Gray Legion had already been destroyed.
They were the corpse collectors in the past.
The meaning of this is very clear, the Gray Legion was wiped out by special operations units.
However, this time they are the main force, a total of 12,000 people. What kind of special combat physique can defeat so many people?
Is that still a human being?
The special forces unit in Changshan County is estimated to have the combat power of at most seven hundred gray-clothed animals.
In the simulated battle, he would undoubtedly be defeated if there were more than 700 people.
"Do we need to update the data?"
"No, it's impossible. This data is no longer a carbon-based organism. He must have used some special weapon."
Dro reported this information to his superiors, but was only met with ridicule and contempt.
Those who were plotting and scheming mocked the Order as brainless fools. The imperial order still existed, and even if this suicide attack succeeded, it would leave huge sequelae and might not necessarily bring down Changshan County.
Their way is the right one.
The new chairman of the council, Wang Xinwei, said triumphantly, "We've stopped Changshan County from buying coal from abroad. Their steel mills will soon be out of coal. The collapse of Changshan County's pillar industries will inevitably have a series of huge impacts on them."
"This is our first step to defeat Changshan County."
