Chapter 484: Empire War (Part 3)
Lin Wen was very depressed at this time. In this week's settlement, the democracy he had taken the time to build was zero again.
He hasn't had good karma from democracy for a long time.
For other projects, the lowest price is two thousand.
Lin Wen didn't know where the problem lay. He had suspected everyone who could be suspected of disrupting democracy, but there was no improvement.
Qin Luoshuang was even more annoyed by him. When she saw him coming, she said, "Okay, okay, I'm undemocratic. I'm the culprit. You can punish me."
Lin Wen was helpless.
He is now in a critical period of scientific research, his soul is very nervous, and he cannot spare more of his soul to ask about spells.
What made him even more unhappy was that Yu Laogou actually saw through his box-spirit tactics, causing his free-riding plan to fail.
The Council captured the box that actually escaped on its own and is frantically scanning it with various instruments in a high-end laboratory.
Unfortunately, they were destined to gain nothing because Lin Wen had already lifted the spell.
At this moment, Li Linyue called again.
"...So, Xiaowen, I'll leave this matter to you."
Lin Wen sighed softly, "...Okay."
"Are there any difficulties?" Li Linyue clearly heard that Lin Wen's tone was not right. "If it is very difficult, I will ask my father to think of another solution."
"No."
Lin Wen just felt very annoyed that the empire could tolerate such a weirdo. If he were the emperor, he would have punched Fu Wenyu's head into outer space.
"Why don't you kill Fu Wenyu?"
"There is no evidence."
"Do we still need evidence when executing military orders on the battlefield?"
"Fu Wenyu is an old marshal of the empire. He holds a high reputation within the military. He has led the imperial army on numerous campaigns, winning many victories. He has been awarded the Imperial Hero medal many times and is a household name in the empire."
"However, the expeditionary force he led was completely annihilated in the Western Continent, triggering a chain reaction that led to the empire losing the Baiyi Canal, which has yet to be recaptured."
"His plan to conquer the world was rejected by the highest military headquarters. Fu Wenyu felt that he was being treated unfairly, so he got involved with Yu Zhongxian, and that's how things have turned out."
"If we rashly kill him, it will cause great turmoil in the imperial army."
Lin Wen felt even more frustrated. "The mortal world is full of trouble."
Li Linyue sighed softly, "There's nothing we can do. Most people in this world are mortals. There are so few immortals like you and me. Sometimes we have to communicate using words that mortals can understand. It's really tiring."
Lin Wen: “…………”
"Okay, I still have to quickly arrange for someone to guard the warehouse. Let's talk next time when we're free. Bye."
Crack.
The phone hung up.
Lin Wen sighed deeply and looked melancholy at his only three remaining fortunes.
"Panlong Fruit", "Fire Dragon Fruit", "Fairy Flower".
He took another look at the less than 50% of his soul and felt that he was going to be penniless again.
However, during this period of time, Lin Wen has accumulated a lot of good karma, and there are seven fortunes on the fifth supernatural power that have not yet been opened.
There is definitely no problem with emergency response.
The eighth supernatural power is also approaching, and his total good karma has reached 580,000.
As long as it reaches 640,000, you can unlock the long-lost eighth magical power.
Maybe I can make a lot of good connections this time.
The Council of Review is famous for its purity, without any impurities at all... Alas, I haven't received my two points of bad karma yet.
Lin Wen's thoughts were scattered as he set out on the road to protect the train.
——
Springfield House Manor.
A strong man was pinned to the ground by two even stronger servants.
One man pried open his mouth.
Another servant used bloody pliers to pull out his teeth one by one and placed them on a tray.
The screams echoed throughout the manor, but the servants turned a deaf ear to them.
After the teeth were pulled out, a basin of boiling water was poured over his head, and a servant took a skinning knife and peeled off his scalp.
The screaming stopped midway and the man had already fallen unconscious.
Lin Yabo was lying on his bench, talking to Yu Zhongxian.
"...Yes, they all come from Shizhou and are part of the security forces formed by Changshan County... The effect is very good. Elder Mo's success rate of third-level pure people has increased from 1% to 90%."
The servant put on leather boots made of warm scalp for the elder and placed the tray with the teeth next to the elder.
"Yes, we specifically target people like this. As far as I know, there are tens of thousands of them. If we have tens of thousands of pure ones, all obstacles will no longer be obstacles."
Lin Yabo stood up, fiddled with his teeth casually, and chose a full-bodied one to insert into his mouth.
"Well, the third tanker train is on the royal line, so we must be careful not to leave any evidence behind. The Great Elder's patience has its limits."
"Changshan County will definitely take action. They previously built a super airship and transported tens of millions of artillery shells there. They will definitely not stay out of this incident."
"Changshan County does have a lot of technology. If we can acquire their technology, we will be able to reach a higher level."
"Alright, we must destroy Changshan County. It's a hard bone stuck in our throats. But let me remind you one last time: never do anything beyond your worth. In a wartime state, the Great Elder will show no mercy."
Crack.
Lin Yabo put away the phone and walked across the sunny courtyard. All the slaves who were working knelt down before their masters and pressed their foreheads tightly to the ground.
Two slaves respectfully opened the iron door for the elder.
Lin Yabo walked in and came to a hidden hut.
The cabin was filled with inexplicable electronic devices, with a large screen embedded in the middle.
Lin Yabo waited patiently for a moment, and the big screen lit up, revealing Mo Zhai's exasperated face.
"Elder Lin, what about the promise you made? Why haven't you fulfilled it yet? Do you know..."
Lin Yabo interrupted him coldly: "Priest Mo, this should be asked to you, right? We have tried our best to disrupt the imperial army, why are you so defeated?"
"This is all your fault!" Mo Zhai said angrily, "Your planes and tanks are more advanced than ours..."
Lin Yabo said coldly: "Priest Mo, I think it's a problem with your training."
"Fuck you!" Mo Zhai's tempers suddenly lost control, and he cursed, "Damn you imperial pigs, I shouldn't have cooperated with you. I'm telling you, if I fail, none of you will be able to escape..."
Lin Yabo's tone turned cold, "Mo Zhai, if you still want to win, calm down."
"Win, how do you win?"
"Your pilots and tank crews are terrible. You should ask the pilots of the International Anti-Imperial League to support you."
“Why would they do that?”
"They've made a huge bet," Lin Yabo said coldly. "If they don't want their investment to go to waste, they'll help you. You're far from defeated. Keep motivating more people in your country. As long as your army survives, you'll have a chance to turn the tables."
Mo Zhai fell silent.
Lin Yabo continued, "The more they bet, the less likely they are to give up on you. This isn't a war between you and the Empire. It's a war between the Empire and the entire world, between the Empire and all its internal and external opponents. There are also two wars going on to the west and north of the Empire."
"If you can't win under these circumstances, you'll never win at any time."
"good."
After a long silence, Mo Zhai uttered this word.
Lin Yabo said, "The Sob Kingdom and the Northern Alliance are currently fighting the Empire. You can ask them for more support. The Western Federation has been striving to replace the Empire, and it will be your biggest financial backer."
"The Federation's Tomcat-85 fighters are more advanced than the Empire's fighters and can help you shoot down the Empire's fighters."
"The Xiusu Empire's Type 80 tank is the most advanced heavy tank in the world, surpassing the Empire's Tiger."
"The Narima Third Reich's Retaliator missiles are more advanced than the Empire's Topol missiles."
"Tell them that you need their help. This is the best time to defeat the Empire. Your Divine Religion is truly a valuable resource. Please make full use of it. As long as your millions of cannon fodder remain, they will strongly support you."
"good."
Mo Zhai only said this one word and then hung up the video.
——
The highest meeting.
The Great Elder is having a headache about raising military funds.
War is the most terrifying money-eating beast. It can eat up any amount of money in one gulp. This is also the reason why the empire has been reluctant to launch a full-scale war.
"How many war bonds sold?"
"About fifty billion."
“Still no one from the major groups is buying?”
"No, 90 percent are still civilians."
A long silence fell in the Supreme Council.
——
Lin Wen brought six clay figures to the departure point of the oil tanker train.
His soul has now reached 415%, and he can summon eight clay figures, leaving two for Qin Luoshuang.
The First Princess had instructed him to conceal his identity for a while, at least not to disclose the connection between Changshan County and the Imperial Faction for the time being.
So Lin Wen put six masks on the faces of the six clay figures, and each mask was written with "Heavenly Way", "Ashura Way", "Animal Way" and so on.
He also put a mask on his face with two words written on it.
"Immortal".
Even if the disguise is complete.
The person in charge of receiving them was speechless when he saw these seven guys who looked like mentally retarded children walking towards him.
"Let's go."
He didn't want to say more, thinking that these seven guys were probably His Highness's relatives, and the real protection of the train would depend on the mercenaries.
A large group of mighty mercenaries with submachine guns on their waists also glanced at them with contempt and returned to the off-road vehicles.
Soon, the tank train set off with the sound of the whistle.
Protected by more than fifty off-road vehicles, it headed towards the distant Zezhou, delivering much-needed fuel to the empire.
At this time, Li Longxing ignored the fuel that could run out at any time and pushed the western front more than 100 kilometers outward, recaptured six long-fallen towns.
If we go a few dozen kilometers further, we will reach the territory of the Papal States.
Many generals have warned that it is very dangerous if a tank runs out of fuel halfway.
But Li Longxing was not worried. He firmly believed that his good son-in-law would deliver the fuel.
Even Fu Wenyu, who always sang a different tune, supported the strategy of the emperor of the empire, and was even more radical than him, clamoring for a full-scale attack.
The Imperial Marshals temporarily achieved superficial unity, and the other factions trembled under the alliance of the two largest factions.
The internal divisions of the empire temporarily disappeared, and the imperial army erupted with unprecedented strength. They won battle after battle, and defeated the Papal States so badly that they could not even raise their heads.
A large area of Zezhou territory was recovered and a large number of surviving Zezhou civilians were rescued.
When war correspondents recorded emaciated civilians being rescued from the sewers by soldiers, with their fists raised and shouting that the empire was invincible, there was a huge response in the empire, countless people shed tears, and the amount of war bonds purchased soared wildly, soon exceeding 100 billion.
However, no group bought it.
The civilian share was over ninety-five percent.
On the third day of the full-scale counterattack, the tanks finally ran out of fuel, and more than half of the tanks broke down.
At this moment, international aid was pouring into the Papal States frantically.
The Papal States took advantage of this and hyped up their claim to be the world leader, barely maintaining morale.
Mo Zhai knew that this was the best opportunity. The grounded tank group was only thirty kilometers away from the border. Attacking from the country and fighting on the enemy's territory were completely different concepts.
They will definitely defeat the Imperial Army this time.
The first batch of international military aid, including personnel and goods, has arrived.
The Papal State gathered all its strength, preparing to destroy the Empire's tank group in one fell swoop and secure victory.
At this time, the oil tanker train of the Royal Line had entered Zezhou.
Lin Wen was lying on the roof of the car, sleeping while using the [Sky Ear Technique] as a radar alert.
Dozens of off-road vehicles were distributed around, following the train.
When the train reached a desert, Lin Wen suddenly opened his eyes.
