People Are In The Magical World, There Is No Magic Power
Chapter Thirty-One: Emperor Warren.
In a war, financial resources were undoubtedly a major factor.
Whether it was firearms, soldiers' salaries and pensions, or logistical support, they all consumed a lot of money.
In the Blue Dawn Continent, a world where transcendents prevailed, transcendent energy was undoubtedly the most important.
Array energy, magic technology, soldiers' rapid replenishment of magic power, etc., all consumed transcendent energy.
In some places, transcendent energy would precipitate due to environmental factors such as the surrounding terrain and feng shui. It would eventually condense into a solid and form a mineral vein.
This kind of solid condensed from transcendent energy had many names. The sorcerer system called it "magic crystal," the monk and warrior system called it "spirit stone," and the most commonly used name was "magic crystal."
In the big cities where magic technology was developed, many technologies required magic crystals as an energy source, just like batteries in the ordinary technological world.
Some of the magic war technologies that were developed naturally needed the support of magic crystals. A large number of magic crystals were enough to be strategic resources.
So, on the battlefield, what did it mean to find a magic crystal mine in their camp?
It meant that they didn't have to worry about the consumption of resources in this war. They could use resources to crush the opponent. They didn't need to save energy to use various arrays and magic technology. They could maintain a state of full firepower from the beginning to the end.
To use a simple analogy, the mana bar that originally needed to be carefully calculated would skyrocket by several times or even more than ten times. There was even a mana buff that could continuously recover mana quickly. There was no need to hide all kinds of powerful skills that consumed mana as trump cards. They could just blast away and be done with it.
In this case, as long as the difference in quality wasn't too great, they could basically crush the opponent with quantity.
When Baff heard that a magic crystal mine was found near the battlefield that was occupied by Warren's army, his calm and silent expression became serious.
Even Rowan, who had just come to the battlefield for a few days, could more or less understand the seriousness of the matter.
"It's here … a magic crystal mine that is enough to support a war. It's at least a medium-sized mineral vein. If Warren's army continues to occupy and mine that magic crystal mine, even without the support of a large array, they can still crush us with resources."
The old officer circled a certain location on the map on the conference table and said solemnly.
"You more or less know that due to the deliberate interception of the high-level radicals, the Red Earth camp's logistical supplies have always been kept to a minimum. It's impossible to compete with resources."
The old officer said until here and sighed slightly.
The Federation could provide them with a lot of resources, and they could even send sixth-tier professionals to suppress them.
However, it was precisely because the Radicals and Conservatives were locked in a fierce battle that the frontlines were unable to receive any good reinforcements.
"So, you want us to occupy that magic crystal mine?" Rowan asked.
The Magic Crystal Mine was in the right side of the hill, which was in the foggy area. Only he and Baff could freely enter and exit the foggy area without being discovered.
However, the Demonic Crystal Mine is such an important place, and there's an 80% chance that the Demigod Stage cultivator is guarding it. This won't be easy …
If Rowan could enter the black state again, he would not be afraid. However, the key was that he did not have any emotional stimulation or was forced into a desperate situation. His weak Will could not move the anti-magic power into his body at all.
As for purposely putting himself in a desperate situation to force himself into a black state … Rowan was not an idiot. He would not bet on the success rate if he did not have a choice.
Tsk, it would be great if he could learn the Roaring Emperor's Qi Sense. He would be able to directly sense the entirety of the anti-magic power, not just a little bit of it.
"Yes, we've already reported this to Commander Vanni at the frontlines. He has proposed a plan. We'll let the commander explain the details himself."
The old officer turned on the large screen in the conference room. After a series of operations, he contacted Vanni remotely.
"Hey, Baff, Rowan, good afternoon."
On the screen, Vanni, who was dressed in light armor, was sitting behind a table. He placed his hands on the table and supported his chin with his fingers crossed.
It could be seen from the surroundings that Vanni was currently in a temporary military tent.
"Good afternoon, Commander Vanni," Rowan greeted back.
Baff remained silent as usual.
Vanni smiled and nodded. "Thank you for your hard work in destroying all the nodes of the great formation. When all ten nodes are destroyed, that disgusting fog and the various attacks and support formations in the fog will all disappear. This merit is enough for me to give you a first-class merit."
The Dawn Federation's merit medal was a bit similar to Rowan's in his previous two lives. From the lowest to the highest, it was: Third Class Merit, Second Class Merit, First Class Merit, Special Class Merit, Federal Hero.
Each level of merit had its corresponding benefits and rewards.
With a first-class merit, not to mention other benefits, just the retirement benefits alone was enough for a person to eat and eat until they died of old age.
When he heard that he could get a first-class merit, it was impossible to say that he was not excited. After all, even if Rowan had lived three lives, he was just a very ordinary person in his previous two lives.
Of course, his excitement was only at a "slight" level, and it only lasted for two to three seconds. After three lives, he was almost sixty years old. He had experienced such an incredible thing as transmigrating, so he still had this level of calmness.
As for Baff, he was still as silent as before.
For a very outstanding veteran like him, the first-class merit was probably something that he had received many times. He was already used to it.
"Alright, the matter of the great formation nodes has come to an end. Now, let's talk about something more important."
Vanni's smile disappeared, and he became serious.
"You should already know about the magic crystal mine. That Demigod Stage monk might be guarding next to the magic crystal mine. The Red Earth Military Camp doesn't have a second person at the fifth rank other than me, so we can't directly attack them. Therefore …"
"We have to make some schemes!"
…
Walen Empire, Imperial Capital.
Inside the palace.
"How's the magic crystal mine in the Red Earth Military Camp?"
A fat middle-aged man sitting on the emperor's throne, hugging two scantily dressed beauties on his left and right, asked the people below.
The fat man was wearing a luxurious emperor's robe. The robe was deliberately loosened at the chest area, revealing his fierce-looking chest.
Of the two beauties, the one on the right had black hair and purple eyes, and the one on the left had orange hair and blue eyes. Both of them had a graceful figure.
At this moment, the fat man was enjoying the service of the two beauties with a happy expression.
Of course, the fat man wasn't directly playing cards on the spot. He was just enjoying being fed by the beauties … Although his hands were somewhat naughty, they kept moving up and down.
"Your Majesty, everything is going well. Lapis' formation has successfully suppressed the Federation Army and perfectly concealed the mining operation of the magic crystal mine. Currently, more than a thousand tons of magic crystals have been mined."
An old man in luxurious clothes half-knelt on the ground and reported respectfully with his head lowered.
"Very well, Duke Rades, this Soul Formation Cultivator called Lapis is quite capable. I'll double his reward later … Of course, I won't be stingy with your reward, either. Go to the treasury and take out a piece of Magic Equipment for the sixth step."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The old man was overjoyed and directly knelt down to express his gratitude.
"Okay, you can leave now. Call Salmas over."
"Yes!"
After the old man left, the fat man's face showed a hint of disdain.
"Hmph, Duke Rades?
You're just a fence-sitter. You betrayed the Julius Royal Family that you were originally loyal to just because of some benefits. If it weren't for the fact that your family business is big and useful, I would have gotten rid of you long ago. "
"Your Majesty, don't be angry," the black-haired purple-eyed woman on the right said softly, "Anyway, you're slowly nibbling away at this stinking old man's business in secret. When you're done, you can directly abolish this old man's Duke position. He won't even dare to fart."
"That's right, Your Majesty. You don't have to pay attention to this fence-sitter old man. If you really don't like him, just treat him like a pile of dog shit. We don't have to bother with dog shit," the orange-haired blue-eyed woman on the left said softly.
"You know me well, hahaha!"
The fat man laughed and kissed the woman in his arms with his fat lips.
"Instead of thinking about this stinking old man, Your Majesty, you might as well think about what position to use tonight."
The black-haired purple-eyed woman stretched out her slender fingers and drew circles on the fat man's bare chest.
The fat man smiled wretchedly, "Hehe … Don't worry, I can definitely make you …"
"Hey, boss, can you play cards at night?"
A discordant voice interrupted the fat man's words.
A man with an extremely exaggerated punk hairstyle walked into the hall.
"Didn't you tell me that you have something to do?
Let's finish the matter before you play cards. I don't want to wait outside the castle for a long time. "
The punk man, who looked to be in his thirties, flipped his red and black hair. He was wearing a black leather jacket, black skinny jeans with holes, and a pair of sunglasses. He was dressed like a typical hooligan.
"Salmas!
How many times have I said to respect His Majesty!
Also, don't call him 'boss', call him 'Your Majesty'! "The orange-haired blue-eyed woman scolded him.
"Sorry, sorry. It's not like you don't know my personality. Besides, I'm used to calling you 'boss'."
The punk named Salmas spread out his hands, looking like a rascal.
The fat man sitting on the throne waved his hand and said, "Alright, don't worry about this small matter. Compared to this, Salmas, you should also set off to the magic crystal mine of the Crimson Earth Road."
Surprisingly, the fat man was not angry at all. Instead, he seemed to be used to it.
.........
Boss, are you finally asking me to fight?! "
. "Salmas punched his right fist and left palm in front of him. He looked excited.
"No, I just want you to see if there are any accidents. Don't do anything if there aren't any accidents. It won't be good if the upper echelons of the Federation put aside their internal conflicts and counterattack us."
"Tsk …"
Salmas's face fell. He looked like he couldn't muster up any energy.
"Salmas, you should learn from your calm and steady big brother. Don't just fight," the black-haired, purple-eyed woman said calmly.
"No!
Big brother is too boring! "
Salmas said unhappily. "Also, boss, you gave big brother such an interesting mission and gave me such a boring mission. It's the complete opposite!
You should've swapped my mission with big brother's! "
"You're not on the eighth step. Who gave you the confidence to find trouble with that old Celestial Master?" The orange-haired, blue-eyed woman said with disdain.
Sarmas answered instantly with a serious face, "By perseverance!"
"… You're really an idiot."
"Huh?
What did you say?
I can't hear you?
Miss of the sixth step! "Salmas said with an annoying expression.
"Tsk!
Just because you're one step higher than me … When I reach the seventh step, I'll beat you up! "The orange-haired, blue-eyed woman said unhappily.
"Fight?
That's exactly what I want!
If you have the ability, then … "
"…"
Looking at this noisy scene, the fat man wasn't angry at all.
Whether it was the two women in his arms or Salmas, they were all people who were convinced by his personal charm a long time ago. They were people who followed him from the very beginning. They were his confidants that he could completely trust.
It was thanks to these confidants that he was able to seize the power of the Julius Royal Family of the Walen Empire.
It was just a little noisy. They used to quarrel every day, so he was already used to it.
He wasn't a tyrant who would execute his subordinates for no reason.
He was an ambitious person who wanted to conquer the world. This was who he was!
"Forget it. Boss's mission is more important. I won't quarrel with you."
Salmas flipped his punk hairstyle and turned to leave.
"Salmas, don't do anything unless something unexpected happens. At least, don't do anything before we excavate this magic crystal mine. Otherwise, the Federation will react in advance!"
The fat man reminded him one last time.
"Through this magic crystal mine, we'll quickly conquer Red Earth City on the other side of the Red Earth Road and end these small skirmishes that are limited to the border between the two countries. With Red Earth City as the starting point, we'll completely start a war between countries!"
"… This plan must not be discovered by the Federation in advance!"
