Start with the Soul Forge

Chapter 385 385. [War] is coming (Second update)
After returning to the city, Mo Hao called a meeting with all the team members.

"I intend to go to war."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he said words that would cause turmoil in the situation. For the [Lemangni Empire], Mo Hao, who had taken away a city, was undoubtedly a thorn in the eye.

For other victorious countries, Mo Hao's actions actually harmed their interests.

But no matter which side it is, they all feel that war cannot be fought in a short period of time. The loser needs to lick his wounds, and the winner also needs some time to recover.

After all, the soldiers who died on the battlefield are not like those in the game, where you can just find a place and press [Recruit] to fill the army population.

A soldier who is able to go to the battlefield needs at least eighteen years of upbringing and long-term training.

After the "Meat Grinder" campaign, both the defeated and victorious countries suffered considerable losses in the number of troops.

[The Lemangeni Empire] Needless to say, several of their army groups were defeated and their numbers and organizations were destroyed.

Even if the situation is better for the victorious countries, it will not be much better, and the massive loss of the army's main combat power is inevitable.

Otherwise, they would not be satisfied with just using the defeat treaty to dismember the [Lemangeni Empire] instead of directly assembling an army to destroy the empire. This is because their military strength no longer supports doing so, and the anti-war momentum in the country is growing.

"It's difficult to start a war right now."

Zhang Xueqing expressed her opinion directly. She knew Mo Hao's weakness in this aspect. When they were in the Taixu realm of the David Dynasty, she had seen Mo Hao throwing all logistical matters to others and fighting in the front with his troops.

"Our population is only over one million at present, and the exact number is still being investigated. Among this one million people, less than 50,000 are qualified to be soldiers."

"First, the war caused a large number of adult males to be killed or injured. Then, the military restrictions caused suitable people to be reluctant to join the army. In addition, the original soldiers have already been recruited by us, so there won't be many people in this city who can be mobilized to become soldiers."

"Besides...if we force conscription, we can't rule out the possibility that some people will shoot themselves in the foot to avoid military service."

Zhang Xueqing has made it very clear that it is basically impossible to mobilize more soldiers from this city now.

Forced conscription will only cause major problems in production and public security, and even if forced conscription is carried out, not many people will be able to become qualified soldiers.

At this time, Dr. Agumon also spoke up, "At present, the Metal Slug production line is still in full production. The short-term goal is to establish an armored regiment. Due to the location of the air force, there is no way to create a new production line. We can only reassemble the dismantled aircraft and use them as is."

The air force of the [Lemangeni Empire] was restricted, and even after signing the treaty of defeat, Congress began to dismantle production lines in various parts of the country, and even the built aircraft were demolished.

At the same time, the city occupied by Mo Hao did not have any aircraft production lines. If he wanted to restart the production line, he could only wait until he conquered other cities.

Neither Zhang Xueqing nor Dr. Agumon recommended that Mo Hao send out troops at this time, because Mo Hao could not afford to lose. Once there were strategic or tactical mistakes and the army suffered heavy losses, it would be difficult for him to move forward.

Xiyue thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you in a hurry to send troops to attack other cities?"

"That's right." Mo Hao had no intention of hiding anything and said directly, "The plan is to occupy four or five cities and then seize the entire country."

Arrogant, or crazy.

And it doesn't sound very feasible.

"What are you going to do?"

"Just go up and destroy the city's defenses, and then send people to occupy the city."

Mo Hao calmly said a method that Zhang Xueqing was very familiar with. It seemed that Mo Hao had occupied many cities in this way when he was in the David Dynasty. This would be a crazy move for anyone, but it happened to Mo Hao more than once.

Dr. Agumon lowered his head and said thoughtfully, "This method doesn't seem to be impossible."

He knew what kind of power his partner possessed, and it was indeed not impossible for him to defeat the defenses of a city.

"If it's okay, buddy, take me with you. I'm planning to try a digital evolution."

Mo Hao naturally agreed to Dr. Agumon's request. He also wanted to see what kind of Digimon Dr. Agumon would evolve into.

Is it Greymon? Or Terra Greymon?

Or is it another branch evolutionary route?

The man and the Digimon quickly made a decision, and the others had no choice but to accept the captain's very unreasonable siege plan.

After all, among the people present, Mo Hao was the only one who had the ability to take down a city by himself.

Although Xiyue is equally powerful, she has always adhered to the principle of not using her power if possible because of the pollution of the power of the Taixu Realm.

After finally regaining consciousness, she didn't want the pollution to deepen again, which would make her fall into a drowsy state where she couldn't think.

Although Mo Hao used [Blood and Qi Diversion] to suppress the pollution from time to time, it was never able to cure it, which made Xiyue very cautious to avoid a full-scale outbreak of pollution one day.

Zhang Xueqing sighed slightly at the decision made by the strongest person in the team, who was also the captain. "Okay, I'll arrange all kinds of supplies needed for the army to set off."

Xiyue also said at this time, "I'll watch from inside the city and delay the time if necessary."

With Xiyue's strength, if anyone planned to steal the house while Mo Hao was away, she would be able to resist until Mo Hao came back.

"So which city are you targeting?"

"The nearest one."

The goal is to conquer the entire country, so Mo Hao naturally doesn't care which city to choose first.

Just choose the closest one first, and then expand outward step by step.

After briefly arranging the tasks, Mo Hao and Dr. Agumon ran directly out of the city.

The war knight's mount, the Heavenly Calamity Horse, galloped across the land, leaving a long path of fire.

……

When the Heavenly Tribulation Warhorse was galloping wildly on the land, in some unknown areas, the faces of some extraordinary people suddenly changed.

Those extraordinary people who possess the ability to prophesy and divination saw seven seals appear before their eyes, and the Lamb was opening the second seal.

A red horse jumped out, and the rider held a big knife in his hand, reaping lives on the earth.

[When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. And the one sitting on it was given power to take peace from the earth, so that people would kill one another. And he was given a great sword.]

All the fortune tellers felt the meaning extremely clearly at this moment:
【War】is coming!
