Chapter 734: Outsiders
After leaving the laboratory, Du Dian returned to the temple, took out the divine liquid, injected himself with two tubes, and waited until he felt the boiling heat of his body expand before stopping, then climbed onto the bed and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Du Dian got up on time and called Noyce while having breakfast to ask about the situation in the outer wall area.
Now the outer wall area has tended to be peaceful. Although several policies proposed by Du Dian once caused an uproar, they have gradually subsided now. Occasionally, there were some disturbances, which were all dealt with by Richelieu and Patton. Under the circumstances that the four major forces of the Ministry and the Dark Council are fully united, the nobles in the outer wall area can only choose to bow their heads.
Although the aristocrats are powerful, they are large in number, loose and not in groups, and it is difficult to compete with the four major forces.
In the entire outer wall area, Du Dian has been able to cover the sky with one hand. With the military's "martial arts", the court's "law" and the Holy See's "faith" all in his hands, it is legal for him to reverse black and white. No one dared to object.
"It will take three days at the fastest to open up Wutuo Mountain and fill it with gunpowder," Noyce said.
Du Dian frowned, "So long?"
Although this is a huge project, it is very rare to complete it in three days, but don't forget that he has countless labor and money in his hands, and can drive countless civilians to do things for him.
"A master wall builder has investigated it. The rock structure in the mountain is relatively special, and it is difficult to get through." Noyes bowed his head.
Du Dian frowned slightly, three days, this time was a little slow for him. Although the inner wall area is estimated to recover after half a month, this does not mean that the inner wall area will not send troops to attack the outer wall area within this half month. After all, the last time Hathaway brought many pioneers to attack, it involved Seeing the forces of all parties, it will definitely cause an uproar, enough to make the high-level people in the inner wall area pay attention.
"You ask people to go to the council to select some magic marks who are good at opening rocks, and hunters with similar magic marks abilities to come and assist." Du Dian said after thinking for a while.
"I see, master." Noyce nodded, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. He saw Doody's security mobilization posture, which indicated that the crisis was imminent.
"How is the potionist battalion in the council? Is there anything you can get?" Du Dian asked without waiting for him to leave.
Noyce paused, and said: "Since the establishment of the Potionist Battalion, they have been studying various medicines and have made great breakthroughs in therapeutic medicines. If war breaks out in the future..."
"What about poison?" Du Dian asked immediately after interrupting him.
"Poison?" Noyce was taken aback. "The research on poison is relatively slow. Considering that we will fight against the inner wall area, the Potionist Battalion mainly focuses on healing..."
Du Dian sighed in his heart, and blamed himself for not reminding them earlier, saying: "There is no need to study therapeutic drugs anymore, stop immediately, and let them develop poisons immediately, no matter what type, as long as they can make people lose their combat capabilities, it will be fine. The key must be, it must be unbreakable!"
"Uh... do all potionists make poison?"
"right."
"The treatment medicine..."
"If there is a real war, the soldiers in the outer wall area will not be able to compete with the inner wall area at all. If the battlefield is overwhelmingly slaughtered, what is the use of healing medicine?"
Noyce was stunned, "But, but, since this is the case, why do you still let the wildlings settle in the slums, and let the army wantonly recruit soldiers? Wouldn't it just let them die in vain..."
"It's right to die, but it's not for nothing." Du Dian saw that he hadn't understood his intentions, so he could only say bluntly: "If the inner wall area wants to recover us, there are only two options. The first is to send pioneers to kill me. Kill the head of the enemy to reduce innocent casualties. The second is to start a full-scale war and attack with troops. In this case, if all the people in the outer wall area are soldiers, they will have to weigh it."
"What they want is to recover, not destroy the outer wall area."
Noys suddenly realized,
I didn't expect Du Dian to regard the lives of these people as bargaining chips, not power. That's right, no amount of soldiers can compare with the combat power of the inner wall area. If you want to see it as power, you don't have the capital.
"But..." He looked at Du Dian, "Although the current enlistment benefits of the military department are high, there are not many people joining the army. If there is a war, these civilians may not be willing to help us."
"They will help." Du Dian said calmly, "They have enough reasons to fight for us, and this reason has been reminding them all the time in the inner wall area for three hundred years."
"What reason?"
"Go out and kill the enemy, you can become a nobleman!"
...
...
In a blink of an eye, four days passed.
Everything on Mount Wutuo is proceeding in an orderly manner. The mountain has been completely opened up and filled with explosives. With the cooperation of a large number of hunters, the entire project only took two days.
At the same time, in the various saltpeter mines in the outer wall area, countless miners are digging and digging.
The transportation routes are densely packed, and the entire outer wall area has entered the stage of comprehensive preparations.
And these four days, Du Dian has been staying in the temple, practicing fighting, while thinking about the current situation and deployment methods. While observing the inner wall area, he is also starting to arrange for people to infiltrate.
Although the war may break out at any time, he still wants to send his manpower into the inner wall area as much as possible and make long-term plans.
"Unfortunately, the time is too short."
"If you give me three years, I will be able to conquer the inner wall area without spending a single soldier."
Du Dian sighed in his heart. Some people think that time passes slowly and can't be spent, and some people don't have enough time.
On the Wall of Sighs, the number of soldiers stationed is patrolling back and forth. Hundreds of miles away from this wall, the outlines of human cities are clearly visible, but the flames of war resound, everywhere is full of smog, the city is ruined, and there are many towering and strong walls. , was crashed somehow, the traces of destruction were shocking, and the air was filled with a strong smell of rotting corpses.
The clouds are misty and the breeze is warm.
All these changes can't affect the high altitude thousands of miles above. The sun shines through the clouds and shines outside the towering giant wall. In the hunter's land inhabited by monsters, huge monsters crawl and capture prey.
And at the end of this area, a group of human figures slowly appeared.
This group of human figures stood in a row and walked around, all of them were wearing big robes, carrying all kinds of strange weapons on their backs, some weapons were huge scythes four to five meters long, and some weapons were giant sticks covered with spikes.
They walked slowly, but their silhouettes quickly became clear. A wild boar-like monster gnawing on the corpses noticed this group of human figures, and immediately howled and rushed towards them.
Before it got close, it suddenly flew upside down, and the several-ton body exploded into blood in mid-air.
