Chapter 619

What if it worked?

"What should we do now? Go to support?" Although Ji Xia was very worried, she was not stupid.

On the battlefield, facing thousands of troops, individual strength is extremely limited, and they are not seventh or eighth-rank powerhouses.

Even if they were seventh or eighth-rank powerhouses, if they fought to the death, they might not be killed, but they would definitely be exhausted to death.

Li Chang'an didn't know what to do now either.

"So, I asked you to come to discuss countermeasures."

Li Chang'an looked at Ji Xia, but she shook her head; she looked at Lin Cheng again, but Lin Cheng was still in his own world, looking at his nose and mouth.

"Can't we mobilize the Divine Might Army of the Panshi Fortress?"

When Li Chang'an looked away, Lin Cheng suddenly said, "Even if it's just 50,000 or 60,000 people, it doesn't matter. Participation is what counts."

Uh... what do you think this is?

A tour group signing up for a team? And "participation is what counts"? On the battlefield, it is very likely to die. This is common sense for everyone.

"The Divine Might General may not necessarily send troops. Even if he does, the Divine Might Army has been lazy and well-fed for these years, so there is almost no hope for them."

Although he said so, Li Chang'an still felt that the Divine Might Army had some use. Even if they had been lazy for these years, their daily training had not been less, and they could still play some role more or less.

She had already begun to imagine how to persuade the Divine Might General to send troops.

"Either try to issue a mercenary mission and recruit a large number of mercenaries to rush to the scene in the form of rewards." Lin Cheng suggested again.

Li Chang'an shook her head.

"The Mercenary Guild has clear regulations that no war-type missions can be issued, regardless of anyone, any organization, or any country."

"They are a neutral force. Once mercenaries from any side start participating in the war, mercenaries from other forces will likely also participate in the war, and in the end, the flames of war will only intensify."

"My method, what's the use of them?" Lin Cheng was so angry he cursed directly.

"Can we only rely on you few?"

Li Chang'an's eyes were slightly surprised, and soon she became annoyed.

"Master Lin Cheng, the 'we few' also includes you."

"But I didn't say I would definitely participate. This is completely thankless for me." Lin Cheng refused, the implication being that even if they cooperated, they had to offer some benefits.

What's the point of just drawing a big cake?

"You... don't you have any sense of collective honor? We are all people of the Emperor Tianwu Empire!" Li Chang'an pointed at Lin Cheng, really not knowing what to say to him.

She couldn't say, "Wow, you are so damn realistic, you don't work without benefits."

Can't you make some contributions to your country?

"Sorry... I'm a businessman, I don't understand those theories of yours. From a businessman's perspective, since we are cooperating, there must be payment and harvest."

Lin Cheng was such a practical person.

Not to mention that he was a transmigrator, he had no feelings for this country, and besides, his family was made into its current declining state by the Emperor Tianwu Imperial Family.

It was already good enough that he didn't kick them while they were down. It was almost impossible for him to take action for free. Li Chang'an surrendered. She couldn't persuade Lin Cheng. This guy in front of her didn't eat the set of the old society at all; he was simply a transmigrator.

Of course, she was too.

"Then what do you want before you are willing to take action?"

"Tell me your idea first, and then I will decide whether to agree." Lin Cheng narrowed his eyes with a smile. It seemed this was a big business.

"My plan?" Li Chang'an was a bit confused.

If she had a plan, would she still be sitting here discussing with you? Just execute it directly. Since Lin Cheng wanted a plan, she would think of one temporarily.

"Don't you have those little ones? Just create a legion of little ones, and you should be able to win, right?"

Lin Cheng rolled his eyes at her.

"For an army of 100,000 mechanical servants, you need to give me at least three years. If you have that time, pretend I didn't say anything."

"Start production immediately!"

Uh... Li Chang'an was speechless.

Indeed, there was no such time.

"We have at most one week, of course, during this period... the faster the better."

"Then there's no way! Destroy it, I'm tired." Lin Cheng lay back on the sofa, his ears already ignoring the world outside the window.

"You... I..." Li Chang'an watched Lin Cheng give up and not work. She was so angry that her chest heaved, feeling that her chest binder was about to burst.

She suddenly wanted to kill this guy in front of her. Other eighth-rank blacksmiths would think of a way even if they didn't have one, but you—no benefits, and you don't want to work.

What is the use of you, an eighth-rank blacksmith, to the Empire?

At the critical moment, she had to rely on Ji Xia.

"Lin Cheng, how many cannon vehicles and super soldiers have you crafted now?"

"Why are you asking this?" Lin Cheng asked back.

"I heard from Miss Qianhui that the power of the cannon vehicle can reach the peak of the sixth rank. This is a force not to be underestimated, and it is mobile. If the quantity is enough, it can completely reverse the war situation."

So that's it.

Lin Cheng thought, this was not a bad method. His skills had improved these days. Although he couldn't break through the power of the cannon vehicle, he could make the attack and speed of the cannon vehicle more durable.
