Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2143 - 663: Game of Generals (Part 5)

"Sister, I’ve washed my neck waiting for you." This kind of threat is a bit too childish. Even if it were the Witch King swearing an oath like this, Old Liu wouldn’t buy it.

From the information obtained during the previous three city sieges, Liu Zhenhan had already discovered the exact whereabouts of the Silken Jade Emperor. This eastern grasslands emperor was currently causing a great uproar in the Three Mainlands of the Demon World, wreaking havoc. Old Liu’s silver-eyed appearance had given the Demon Clan a scapegoat to plant their deeds on significantly. The Jade Emperor, in this unfamiliar environment where the language barrier existed, was now hunting down silver-eyes everywhere to retrieve the "Fortune Jade Pot."

Currently, the masters of the Demon Clan are busy besieging these ferocious and untamed Divine Beasts of silk. Once they have dealt with the Jade Emperor and his group of extraordinarily powerful Far East ruffians, even though they kill a thousand enemies, they will suffer eight hundred casualties themselves. Following the "Southern Cross Star Forest Divine Realm War," the paramount masters of the Demon Clan are likely to face yet another severe blow.

"Sorry, boss, a hand extended will always have fingers of varying lengths. So now I’ll help whoever is closest to me." Liu Zhenhan silently glanced at the giant bone statue of Nai’aozu in the center of Montana City and then commanded the Cambridge priests with a decisive shout, "Destroy it completely for me!"

Rommel sat cross-legged on the back litter of the Listening Silver Elephant, leisurely cruising the blue sky. He observed the Hai Mu camp from above while commanding the Beamon air force, orchestrating a Mulan carpet-style aerial bombardment over the ground.

The Demon World city massacre plan was, in fact, his own design and project, with the Summer Palace guards merely executing the task.

Since the Demon Clan had already covertly intervened in the Aegean war situation, Rommel thought it better to force them to surface quickly. If they remained indifferent after the massacre of four cities, Rommel would have to reassess Jia Bao. However, based on his understanding of the Lich Queen, this scenario was unlikely. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The circumstance of three forces standing together presents a good opportunity for the Human race armies on the Kalimdo Plains. With the arrival of the Demon Clan, the Sea Clan must retract their claws slightly to prevent the fisherman from reaping the benefits during the clam and snipe struggle. The same rationale applies to the Demon Clan—except for humans, who can hold their ground and wear out their opponents more effectively on home turf.

For the battle situation on the Donau Wasteland, the addition of the Demon Clan will also play a catalytic yeast-like role.

The Demon Clan’s army either won’t show up, or if they step out of the Bering Mountains, they will certainly first block the Sea Clan’s army’s strategic passage towards the natural fortress of Yif Castle in the Dorott Duchy—if this route is cut off by the Demon Clan, then the overall strategic layout of the Sea Clan becomes nothing more than a fleeting autumn dream.

The Bimon of the Primitive Ancient Origin only have the power of self-preservation. Given this, when the Demon and Sea Clans inevitably clash despite any restraints, guns will spark and soldiers will face each other.

Rommel’s Demon World city massacre plan also didn’t solely focus on the strategic level. Aside from reversing the continental situation, this plan was also helping the Bimon Kingdom address their military procurement difficulties.

The invasion of the Sea Clan had already brought the animal husbandry-based economic pillar industry of Bimon to a complete standstill—now, every profession and manpower within Bimon was serving the war effort; for one or two days it’s not much of an issue, but over time, the financially-strapped Bimon Kingdom would be hard-pressed to sustain this!

War isn’t just about filling bellies to solve all problems. Even with the vast granary from the underground world of Emerald, consumables like arrows, stone logs, fire oil, and rolling stones must be continuously supplemented. Weapons, armor, and city structures require maintenance after one or two bloody battles, and wounded soldiers need medicine for treatment and recovery. These supplies completely rely on a country’s economic foundation, and although Bimon trapped in the city can ensure external contacts through the magic teleportation array, money and supplies won’t fall from the sky!

The consumption speed of munitions during a state of war is terrifying. For instance, making an arrow involves four processes: cutting wood, attaching feathers, embedding arrowheads, and painting—it takes one second to shoot it!

Given Bimon’s current situation, if the war persists long-term, the munitions consumption must also rely significantly on imports to ensure readiness, aside from self-sufficiency—Tang Zang Empire, the three seas of the Demon World, the Dubin Kingdom, Bonaparte Medusa, all are allies of the Bimon Kingdom. With magic teleportation arrays and Seven-degree Gold Rings, the munitions import channels are unobstructed! But the issue is, even if Bimon Kingdom buys weapons, armor, defense supplies, and medical drugs from these friendly nations, they surely won’t give them away for free, will they?

Who doesn’t want to profit from war?

The Bimon Kingdom is notorious for its poverty, unable to scrape together even a few ounces of meat, like a poor man asking to compare treasures with the Dragon King. Relying on foreign trade to sustain war consumption would be self-destructive—there would never be coins falling from the sky. For Bimon, if they want to rely on external trade to support wartime consumption, the only way is to blaze a new trail, expanding financial avenues!

Rommel knew that just a few days ago, Bimon had negotiated a business deal with the three maritime nations of the Demon World, exchanging vast quantities of steel weaponry for a large supply of Poison Fog Missiles and Osteo Wands! They also exchanged captured ocean pearls and gemstones with the Tang Zang Empire, the Dubin Kingdom, and the Bonaparte Medusa Kingdom for a massive amount of military supplies! However, relying solely on plundered goods for munitions exchange is ultimately not a long-term strategy!
