Chapter 329

330. Chapter 330: The Army Presses the Border

"Mm."

Dai Hao saw this and nodded with satisfaction.

After all, he thought the same thing in his heart.

Everyone is greedy, and he is no exception.

In just a few days, they had harvested a huge amount of resources.

If they could occupy the Ming Dou Mountain Range for a long time, the benefits to them would be unimaginable; even if a large portion of the resources were taken away by those sent by the Empire, their Western Group Army could still get huge benefits.

These resources could be used to seek benefits for the brothers, and even more, to upgrade the various soul tool equipment of the army.

The Western Group Army looks very strong, but in reality, it is very strapped for funds; because the Imperial Family is wary of him, the military expenses allocated every month can barely pay the soldiers' salaries, and the extra maintenance of equipment... if there is friction with the Sun Moon Empire, they have to apply for subsidies from above...

Although the Imperial Family wouldn't deduct their military expenses, they calculated their military expenses to death.

Without the premise of a large-scale war, their army couldn't possibly have extra funds to upgrade equipment or expand their scale.

And now that there was such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he naturally wouldn't give it up.

And just as others thought, snatching territory, the final result is nothing more than a battle! It's just that the scale is slightly larger.

As long as they can make full preparations in advance, they might not be afraid of the other party.

"Marshal, you cannot..."

Just then, an urgent voice suddenly came from the corner of the camp.

Everyone turned their heads to look, all showing expressions of "as expected," but no one dared to speak out to reprimand or refute.

Because the one who spoke was an old general in the army, named Tao Bin...

Of course, although it wasn't "the name fits the person," the other party was considered a veteran of the conservative faction, because everyone else had died in battle, and only this "King of Survival" had lived until now.

Basically, in all battles, the other party advocated conservatism, stability, and was very cautious.

But because the other party's strength was indeed very powerful, having the cultivation of a peak Soul Saint, and because he joined the army earlier and was more cautious, the other party's military rank and seniority could be said to exceed most of the generals present.

Even Dai Hao was very respectful to him.

Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, Tao Bin spoke slowly:

"Marshal, the Sun Moon Empire is by no means an easy generation; the other party can be so forbearing, they must be plotting something behind the scenes."

"Moreover, we are waiting for reinforcements; it's possible the other party is also waiting for reinforcements."

"The Ming Dou Mountain Range is also a very important strategic location for the Sun Moon Empire; the other party absolutely cannot hand it over! The current calm is very likely the precursor to a storm; if a large number of troops are invested in the Ming Dou Mountain Range, it is very likely that there will be heavy casualties!"

As Tao Bin finished speaking, the camp suddenly became quiet.

A few generals fell into deep thought, but more of them were dismissive of this; although they didn't say anything, their eyes toward Tao Bin were full of contempt.

However, no one spoke, but they all looked at Dai Hao in unison.

After all, no matter how they discussed, there was only one person who made the decision, and that was the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao.

"General Tao, what you said does indeed have some truth."

Dai Hao saw this and nodded lightly, then changed the subject: "However, this opportunity is once in a lifetime, and with the help of the Empire's reinforcements, even if a battle really breaks out, we can occupy the advantage and deal a heavy blow to the other party!"

"The Marshal is right, our White Tiger Legion has never been afraid of battle! We fear no one!"

"Small Sun Moon Empire, if they dare to come, I'll slaughter them all!"

"Kill them all!"

In the camp, one general after another stood up upon hearing this, full of fighting spirit.

Although their Star Luo Empire's comprehensive national strength was not as good as the Sun Moon Empire's, they were still very confident about this kind of local operation.

Of course, the most important point was that no one would think that the Sun Moon Empire would directly start a national war with the Star Luo Empire for the sake of a mere Ming Dou Mountain Range and these mineral resources. Even Dai Hao couldn't have thought of this.

The powerful enemy they faced was nothing more than the Level 9 Soul Tool Master of the Deafening Claw Dragon Soul Tool Master Legion.

But there was a Titled Douluo sitting in their Western Group Army, and the reinforcements sent by the Imperial Capital this time also had a Titled Douluo.

In their hearts, a Titled Douluo is heaven; as long as there is a Titled Douluo sitting, even if they really lose, the other party wouldn't dare to directly cross the Ming Dou Mountain Range and kill their way into the territory of their Star Luo Empire.

Even if they lose, it's just some people dying.

But they can also kill quite a few of the other party's people.

This is a deal that can't possibly lose money no matter what.

"Sigh..."

Tao Bin could only sigh gloomily when he saw this scene.

In fact, his martial soul is quite special and can predict good and bad luck for a period of time, which is also the main reason he has lived so long.

The generals in the army changed batch after batch, and they were all young people, at most 70 years old, because all the old generals died in battle...

And he is already 110 years old this year.

Before the White Tiger Duke was even born, he was already galloping on the battlefield.

Of course, when he told others about this ability, it would always be considered an excuse he found for himself, and no one believed what he said.

Over time, he stopped saying much and just did his duty.

As for why he still hadn't retired, it was mainly because he didn't grasp the measure decades ago and was almost surrounded and killed by enemies, but was saved by the White Tiger Duke and his men.

To repay the favor, he chose to dedicate the rest of his life to the White Tiger Legion.

Escaping is escaping, making trouble is making trouble, but the battle still has to be participated in.

It was just that his premonition of crisis was exceptionally strong this time, which reminded him of the feeling when he encountered a life-and-death crisis decades ago...

Who knows, something big might really happen this time.

It was just that he was powerless to stop it.

Three days later.

Thirty thousand reinforcements mobilized by the Star Luo Empire Imperial Family from other directions joined the battlefield.

Although most of them were noble children from the Imperial Palace coming to "gild" themselves, it had to be said that this group of guys was truly rich.

Various high-end soul tools were constantly being taken out, and some soul tool equipment was even more advanced than those in the army.

However, it was precisely because of the addition of these large soul tools that the army quickly arranged a large number of defensive measures and projects in various large mines of the Ming Dou Mountain Range, followed by assembling various mining machines and starting to dig holes.

Rare ores are not so easy to dig; without suitable tools, a Soul King digging for a day can only dig a few dozen catties of ore, and this is still under the condition of being able to find the ore.

Most people dig for a day, only digging waste soil, and most of the time is spent looking for ore.

The area of the mineral veins is truly too large; although the total amount of ore is not small, it is extremely scattered, and mining is extremely difficult.

Even with mechanical mining, not much can be mined in a day, and what is mined is still raw ore; to convert it into refined rare metal, extremely complex processes are required.

This is also the main reason why the Sun Moon Empire had been mining for so many years and still hadn't finished mining it completely.

And just as the Star Luo Empire army was stationed in the Ming Dou Mountain Range, engaged in the exciting activity of picking up money, on the Sun Moon Empire side, Bai Zhou took the four major legions of the Hand of the Nation and rushed toward the Ming Dou Mountain Range unhurriedly...
