Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster! Chapter 171 - 61 Trading Old for New2

"Indeed."

Chen Jian nodded in agreent, then made a decision:

"Let’s head to Tongling first."

"You have to eat a al bite by bite, and walk a road step by step."

"The Ring Chamber of Comrce has been pursuing this goal for decades, and now it’s only just at the edge."

"It’s impossible for us to uncover the mystery so quickly; we must proceed gradually."

"We now have a pile of tasks at hand; we can’t afford to be over-ambitious."

"Let’s go, set off imdiately, head to Tongling first!"

"Understood!"

With a command, the team mbers sprang into action.

Facing the newly risen morning sun, the group of eight set forth on their journey once again.

They continued along a land route, but this ti, as they traded with settlents, they also brought good news to every one of them they passed.

The Terror Demon in Anqing has been eliminated, the plot in Huadu has been temporarily thwarted, and innocent civilians can finally catch their breath a little.

Chen Jian tirelessly promoted the accomplishnts of the Huaxia Army, showing no intention of modesty.

How does that saying go?

If you don’t occupy the high ground of propaganda, the enemy will.

"Prestige" in this world is truly important.

Once a reputation spreads, as long as it smoothly passes the initial "cold start" phase, it will quickly propagate.

The majority of the group of eight agreed with his strategy, except for Ji Xing, who, seeing the grateful settlent residents, expressed confusion to Chen Jian.

"...So why are you casting yourselves as savior heroes?"

"I feel this doesn’t align with your philosophy, and under the current circumstances, it’s not a wise decision."

"Don’t forget, we just fought a major battle with those Huadu people."

"Their losses in the battle are imasurable."

"Their Queen is probably already pondering how to tear you to pieces, and you’re not keeping a low profile but instead promoting it on a large scale?"

"What benefit does this bring you..."

"Do the people of the chanical God Sect need idols to be set up for them? Do you need them as well?"

"We don’t need idols."

Chen Jian shook his head and replied:

"But we need to establish faith in people."

"I must let them know that there is a force in this world that can be their lifeline."

"Maybe they won’t think of this lifeline in ordinary tis, but when they are on the brink of despair, they will instinctively rember it, and then ask themselves whether they should reach out to grab it."

"And it’s apparent that in this world, the vast majority of civilians might face desperation every ten days or half a month."

"You’re too conservative."

Shen Yue interjected:

"It doesn’t take ten days or half a month; I estimate it happens every three or five days."

"...Indeed."

Ji Xing showed a few expressions of deep reflection, then said:

"At this rate, more and more civilians will co to you."

"And with your ability, you might soon turn them into useful warriors..."

"Not necessarily warriors, perhaps more useful workers."

"Workers?"

Ji Xing asked in astonishnt:

"The workers in those workshops in Anqing?"

"Of course not."

Chen Jian shook his head:

"Are those in the workshops workers? They are more like slaves."

"We want real workers... but honestly, training workers is even more difficult than training warriors."

"And if we can train a truly useful worker, the value he can present might be higher than that of three warriors..."

"That exaggerated?"

Ji Xing instinctively asked, but Chen Jian only nodded firmly, without answering.

Ji Xing lowered her head thoughtfully, silently looking at the steering wheel held by Chen Jian.

The "cat car" they ntioned, was it also manufactured by the kind of "worker" he talked about?

If that’s the case, then he truly wasn’t wrong.

In so sense, workers are stronger than warriors.

----But is it that important?

The Huaxia Army has too many enemies.

The chanical God Sect and the Holy Blood Temple are just barely maintaining peaceful coexistence with them, and aside from monsters, a strong open enemy appears to be Huadu alone.

Undoubtedly, Huadu is absolutely prepared for large-scale war with the Huaxia Army and Yellow Stone City.

Is the Huaxia Army prepared?

What do they plan to do?

Really attack Quan City, penetrate Huadu’s stronghold, and wipe out everything?

At this thought, Ji Xing suddenly shivered.

She realized that the people around her were genuinely capable of doing such things.

----Then the question arises.

Is Huadu prepared for the offensive of the Huaxia Army?

.....

On the other side, in Quan City.

Ji Xing didn’t know if Huadu was prepared, but the "Queen" of Huadu clearly knew she wasn’t prepared.

Upon hearing that the Terror Demons in the Anqing Ruins were completely annihilated, and her dispatched personnel were entirely wiped out, her expression was frighteningly calm.

She did not order further retaliation nor devise any battle plans.

She rely dismissed all irrelevant personnel, keeping only her most trusted "Pri Minister," who was also her Think Tank, then spoke to the docunt presented by the person below:

"This ti, we suffered significant losses."

"Our research received devastating blows, extensive results were reduced to ashes, and many scholars who had begun glimpsing the depths perished within the Anqing Ruins."
