My sister is the daughter of destiny

The former Heavenly Heaven occupied the core of Tianlan.

Qin flattened everything, divided the country into nine regions, and established order.

Tianshangtian, as the location of the imperial capital of the Celestial Empire, is the largest of the Nine Realms, twice as large as the Heaven Realm.

In order to prevent the over-reproduction of alien races and the spread of pollution to other regions, the Tianlan Military Alliance conducts a local war every month.

In a local war, a single military region would have to deploy at least 100,000 troops.

In this battle, five venerable soldiers of the Qianzi Army died, and more than a thousand people who had entered the Dao realm died.

The war over a year ago when the aliens went crazy and ended with the Void Emperor Lu Daolin killing the king-level aliens, lasted only three days, but thirteen Venerables died and thousands of people who entered the Dao realm.

But that time it was a total war in which all the armies deployed their full strength, while this time it was just a daily war of attrition.

Lu Ningfeng looked at the battle report with a frown on his face.

It's just a local war, and such consumption occurs every two months. Calculated in terms of total volume, the eight military regions will require more than 40 Venerable Realm practitioners and 8,000 practitioners in the Dao Entry Realm in each local war, which means nearly 50,000 people every year!

This does not include the areas outside the domain. There are no local wars outside the domain, but the lowest combat power outside the domain is the Dao Yuan realm, and the Venerable realm is only the middle level. Only the Saint realm is the backbone.

In this light, it is obvious why the alien race is not in a hurry to forcibly attack the Tianlan Realm.

Use the resources of the Tianlan Realm to breed and cultivate lower-level alien races to consume the manpower of the Tianlan Realm.

This is like cutting meat with a blunt knife.

The kings of the alien races only need to wait for the decline of the Tianlan Realm, and then they can rush in and enjoy this piece of juicy fat meat.

What’s even more deadly is that this is the way of fighting with the lowest casualties.

"Fortunately, we have a 100-foot heavy artillery, and now we have some power to fight back."

Xiaoxue sat obediently beside Lu Ningfeng, putting her little hand on Lu Ningfeng's big hand and comforting him softly.

She was the person who could best feel Lu Ningfeng's emotional fluctuations. At the moment, Lu Ningfeng felt very anxious. The situation in the Tianlan Realm must be changed.

If we don't change, we will be dragged down by the aliens and end up in a dead end.

"Yeah," Lu Ningfeng turned his hand and grasped Xiaoxue's soft hand. Feeling the warmth from that little hand, Lu Ningfeng seemed to be encouraged.

Yes, there is always a chance. The future that Nangong Xinghuo is in may not necessarily happen. He and Xiaoxue are the biggest variables in this world.

"The 100-foot heavy artillery at the entry-level may allow us to seize the initiative in the Tianxu battlefield, but the Tianxu battlefield is always just a hole for the aliens to consume the Tianlan Realm. The final victory or failure will depend on the battlefield outside the domain. It's time for my cousin to devote his energy to developing the venerable-level 100-foot heavy artillery."

Xiaoxue tilted her head and thought about it, then suddenly chuckled, "Why do we seem to be making this world of cultivation go further and further away in the direction of technology? In the future, I will be driving a battleship with cannons on it, and then there will be a main battleship gun. Just think about it, it's interesting."

"Yeah, very interesting," Lu Ningfeng couldn't help but laugh. This girl's ideas were exactly some of his ideas.

In the future, an ordinary small warship can be equipped with a 100-foot heavy cannon, which will give it the combat power of the Dao Yuan realm.

Medium-sized warships, such as those commonly used by the Lu family, or the Imperial Palace Fleet, the Qian Army's regular army fleet, etc., can be equipped with multiple 100-foot heavy artillery, plus a Venerable-class main ship gun.

Such a configuration can make the warship have a deterrent power comparable to that of a Venerable. I think it can be used even in an extraterritorial battlefield.

As for large battleships like the Lu family's main ship, or super-large battleships like the military alliance's headquarters, whether they will have the opportunity to carry saint-level cannons in the future... that is still a long way off, and now there is no sign of even the venerable-level cannons.

The army returned at full speed and returned to the barracks in less than a day.

Afterwards, under Xiaoxue's close supervision, Lu Ningfeng handed the captured Soul-Swallowing Clam to the Legion Commander Li Yanwu.

The secret realm of the battlefield research institute.

The secret mining realm that Lu Ningfeng and his team brought back has now been thoroughly developed and all the ore has been mined out. The Military Alliance then built a research institute inside. The area of ​​the research institute is right at the entrance to the secret realm and has been purified.

In the depths of the secret realm, a large amount of chaotic spiritual energy was dumped, which also attracted the polluted water veins in the battlefield, completely transforming the secret realm and leaving a large swamp.

This is the production base that will be used to try to cultivate the spirit-swallowing clams.

"You are so lucky to have encountered a Soul-Devouring Clam that was laying eggs. You are the only one in the eight military regions."

Li Yanwu checked the life status of the Soul Swallowing Clam and the Soul Swallowing Clam eggs in the Soul Beast Bag and found that although they were frozen, the life breath inside was still intact. He couldn't help but praise them.

Lu Ningfeng looked at Xiaoxue, who put her hands behind her back and smiled sweetly at him.

"A fluke, a fluke."

Lu Ningfeng said with a smile.

Isn't it just luck?

Taking Xiaoxue for a stroll on the battlefield, last time I wanted to find a secret place to do an experiment, I discovered a secret realm. This time I wanted to find a soul-swallowing clam, and I encountered one laying eggs.

Li Yanwu smiled and did not comment, then took out a document and handed it to Lu Ningfeng.

"This is the number of Soul Swallowing Clam stomachs that each army has harvested this time. Take the integer number, there are 30,000 low-ranking soldiers, 10,000 middle-ranking soldiers, and none at all high-ranking soldiers."

"Top-class pawn... The Soul-Devouring Clam we brought back has reached the peak level of a mid-level pawn. Maybe we can try to make it grow?" Lu Ningfeng said as he pointed at the soul beast bag in Li Yanwu's hand.

Li Yanwu shook his head and laughed, "We old guys always kill any aliens we see, but you, kid, actually want to help it break through the boundaries."

"A useful alien race is a good alien race. If we can really cultivate a top-grade Soul-Swallowing Clam, then at least the energy module of the next Venerable-level heavy artillery will be ready," Lu Ningfeng laughed.

Aren’t they just invasive species? Think about the Blue Planet in our previous life, when crayfish and bullfrogs invaded and were eaten so much that they had to be farmed to maintain market supply.

This Soul-Swallowing Clam is actually a bullfrog. It’s a bit bigger, but also very ugly.

"Well, what you said is quite interesting. The military alliance has already sent several experts who are good at taming beasts. The Soul-Swallowing Clam Eggs you obtained this time are the first of their kind in our military alliance. They are first-hand materials, so you can be credited with a great achievement."

Lu Ningfeng didn't care about whether the achievement was great or not. With his wealth, he really looked down on those useless people. If Xiao Yan'er had gone with him, the credit could have been given to her. However, the girl said that she wanted to find spiritual fire to break through the Dao Yuan realm, so she did not participate in the battle.

He was more concerned about something else.

"Uncle Li, you should have already discussed the distribution plan for the first batch of Star Moon Spiritual Energy Boxes, right? How much did the Qian Army take?"

In the first phase, Lu Ningfeng offered an additional 20% discount on top of the original 50% discount in exchange for a 20% share. As for the remaining 80%, judging from Li Yanwu's previous heroic and arrogant attitude, he probably wanted more than just 10%.

"Haha, my Qian army has made the greatest contribution, so naturally I will take more. Your Lu family will take 20%, and the remaining 80% will be divided equally among the armies. On this basis, I will take 10% from their income, so my Qian army will take 17%!"

Li Yanwu looked quite proud when he said this.

Apparently, the battle at the military alliance meeting, where he defeated seven enemies at once, really made him feel very satisfied.

Although it is only the first phase, it is not a matter of trying to save face. From research and development to production, currently only the Lu family and the Qian army have mastered the production line of the Star Moon Aura Box. The Lu family can get 20%, so why can the Qian army only get 10%?

"The legion commander is mighty."

Lu Ningfeng, Ning Baichi and other younger generations applauded continuously. Although it was a bit perfunctory, it was very effective in dealing with this kind of middle-aged man who was very concerned about his reputation.

"That's right. If anyone dares not to agree, I will cut off their supply!"

Li Yanwu put his hands on his hips and laughed.

"Alright, alright, how long are you going to keep bragging about this little thing? How's the discussion about the Joint Research Institute going?"

Lu Yan interrupted Li Yanwu unhappily.

"This matter still requires the Hundred-foot Heavy Artillery to perform well on the battlefield. It is not a small matter to mobilize eight Saint-grade weapon refiners at one time."

Li Yanwu said somewhat helplessly.

"Look at your useless look. Can't you just sign a military order? Don't you have any idea about this 100-foot heavy artillery?" Lu Yan blew his beard and glared, quite dissatisfied. Even if he was facing the commander of an army, a powerful emperor, he dared to scold him.

"There must be other considerations. Many of them have the task of forging holy soldiers, so we can't neglect one for the other... Eh? Looks like he's here."

Li Yanwu was explaining, but the Baichiyin in his arms was buzzing. He picked up the Baichiyin and walked out of the secret realm while answering the call, obviously going to pick someone up.
