Chapter 707: Overt and covert cooperation, Zhang Bowen becomes a god(1/2)
Hundreds of thousands of troops marched straight in.
With the firepower assistance of more than a dozen soul engineer groups, they broke through the defensive line that the Star Luo Empire had deployed for a year and reoccupied the Mingdou Mountains.
The Xingluo army was retreating steadily and suffered heavy losses.
Even the newly formed soul mentor groups were crippled and had to retreat to the former Yuming City defense line to defend themselves.
The Sun and Moon Empire's two thunderstorms only broke through the Mingdou Mountains, which was considered a blessing among misfortunes.
Soul guidance technology can compensate to a certain extent through the support of the Undead Empire.
However, the people's ideas and the organization and dispatch of the army cannot be formed in a short period of time.
The only good news is probably that the extreme northern spirit beasts under the Immortal Empire helped Dou Ling and Xing Luo eliminate a huge supply point of the Sun and Moon Empire.
The Sun and Moon Empire, whose plan failed, had to remain silent for a period of time again to accumulate the strength to conquer the mainland.
At the same time, the Sun and Moon Empire simply stopped doing nothing and directly cut the manufacturing expenses for custom-made soul-guided artillery shells, and instead focused on high-energy compression array soul-guided devices.
Kong Deming completely let go of the management of the court, pushed Orange to the top, and exercised checks and balances on Zhong Liwu.
He himself led the enshrinement hall to attack light energy conversion and storage technology in an attempt to open a new door for soul guidance technology.
The chief priest, who is known as the father of soul guidance devices, firmly believes that as long as he succeeds in the technology of converting and storing light energy, the Sun and Moon Empire will clear all obstacles before unification.
Therefore, the Sun and Moon Empire paused its offensive and only carried out small-scale harassment from time to time.
With the support of the strong men from Shrek Academy and the arms assistance from the Immortal Empire, the situation on the mainland once again fell into a stalemate.
The Sun and Moon Empire wants to take action, but does not have enough resources for the time being.
They wanted to take over Shrek City, but Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui refused to take action.
Therefore, as long as there is Mr. Xuan or any one of the poisonous immortals in Shrek City who never leaves, the Sun and Moon Empire will have nothing to do with Shrek City.
Unless a large army is sent to suppress the border.
Otherwise, Shrek City will be impregnable.
Although Extreme Douluo cannot change the direction of a very large-scale war, it is enough to protect an entire city.
Even if these two people really rushed to the battlefield at the same time to provide support at a certain moment, wouldn't there be Douluo's good neighbor, the beast god Ditian, and his four ferocious beast friends?
Even if it was simply to win Qian Chaoguang's favor, he would not sit back and watch Shrek City fall into the hands of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Therefore, although the war broke out, Shrek City was still one of the safest places on the entire continent.
There are two Extreme Douluo and more than a dozen Super Douluo standing guard, and countless Titled Douluo and Spirit Douluo experts are waiting in full formation.
In addition, there are three major soul mentor groups in Shrek City itself, as well as the soul guidance device city wall defense system jointly built by Huo Yutong and Qian Duoduo.
The city's defenses have reached an almost insurmountable level.
If the situation is really desperate, Zhang Bowen can temporarily mobilize the undead angel army to fight.
Hundreds of seraphs swarmed towards that station, without even using their soul skills. The combined pressure of Titled Douluo scared them to death!
With the incompetent fury of the Sun and Moon Empire temporarily ending, the situation on the entire continent also gained a brief moment of peace amid solemnity.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Beibei, who is responsible for the self-immolation plan, has been completing the undercover mission in Mingdu very well.
The Tang Sect and the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce cooperated internally and externally, relying on the left hand and the right hand to really cheat the Sun and Moon Empire a lot, greatly slowing down the original war rhythm of the Sun and Moon Empire.
If it weren't for the two who created the Zhuge Divine Ballista, which held back the Sun and Moon Empire, I'm afraid that a high-energy compression array soul guide that could really be put into actual combat would have been born.
The Sun and Moon Empire, which had been deceived for more than half a year, has only recently come back to its senses and begun to adjust the ratio of resource tilt, abandoning the Zhuge God Ballista, which seemed picturesque but was actually worthless.
The Empire of the Sun and Moon is bleeding heavily, and the Pixiu Merchant will make a fortune.
The war machine called the country is rumbling into action. As the largest private chamber of commerce, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce has also received a massive number of orders.
Although it is not an arms order, the order for civilian soul guides from Juzi's so-called Yangmou alone is enough to make the entire chamber of commerce salivate.
This is not just a city or a province, it is selling goods to an entire country.
Thanks to this terrifying manufacturing power and sales methods, as well as a small profit sharing, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce has successfully become the number one private partner of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Now, all the soul engineers who are affiliated with the Sun Moon Empire, or who were once affiliated with the official government, have been recruited, and they are trying their best to produce one piece of military supplies after another.
The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is a military academy directly under the Sun and Moon Royal Family.
No matter what industry these students engage in after graduation, as long as the royal family issues a recruitment order, they must put down their work and obey the royal family's dispatch.
This is the oath sworn at the beginning of admission, and no one can violate it.
Because of this, the withdrawal of a large number of soul masters has caused the operation of countless chambers of commerce to become stuck, and a large number of gaps have appeared in the middle and upper-level markets.
Taking advantage of this wonderful opportunity, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce entered the middle and upper-class market with an extremely arrogant attitude, and used various means to crazily destroy one opponent after another.
They are no longer satisfied with only doing business in lower-tier markets and high-end customization.
In this country without anti-monopoly laws, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce wants to be the largest monopoly giant!
Relying on advanced production concepts and a large number of high-level soul mentors, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce marketed at low prices and quickly defeated countless chambers of commerce that truly belonged to the Sun and Moon Empire.
In fact, even the people of the Sun and Moon Empire did not discover anything very shocking.
Within this year, one by one familiar brands quietly disappeared from their sight.
Instead, there were one Pixiu Soul Guidance Shop after another.
Unknowingly, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce has firmly grasped the soul-guiding device business lifeline of the Sun and Moon Empire in its hands, and is constantly eating away at the remaining parts.
In this world without commercial wars, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce, backed by the Immortal Empire, is a nearly invincible existence.
Those upper-class people who are addicted to pleasure, and the soul masters who only think about how to create bigger fireballs every day, may never be discovered by the soul masters.
The foundation of the soul guidance device that our country is so proud of is about to be swallowed up by a behemoth that has risen secretly.
Compared with the success of the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce, due to some off-site factors, the development speed of the Eternal Divine Religion in the Sun and Moon Empire is relatively average.
However, within the territory of the original Tianhun Empire, the development speed of the Eternal God Religion could be described as extremely fast.
The people of the original Heavenly Soul Empire, which had just lost its country and suffered an unprecedented earth-dragon overturn and changed its rulers, are now in a period of panic.
Troubled times are a good opportunity to spread faith.
Just as Qian Chaoguang had guessed before in the underworld, Zhang Bowen did quite well.
In the original Tianhun Empire, almost everyone believed in religion and every family believed in religion.
Not to mention anything else, just being able to get some benefits after believing in religion, even the most basic medical assistance, is enough to make these people grateful.
In this era, there are no medical clinics or doctors, let alone quacks or barefoot doctors.
If you want to cure a disease, you can only spend a high price to hire a healing soul master to perform healing soul skills, or buy soul skill food from a food soul master.
As long as people come, you have to give money.
It's not certain whether it can be cured or not.
Under such circumstances, the emergence of the Eternal Cult is like a guiding light in the darkness, even a bonfire that can keep people warm in the biting cold wind, and a harbor when the storm comes.
As long as you enshrine the statue of the God of Light and Immortality at home, your physical pain will continue to ease;
As long as you can recite prayers proficiently and participate in religious activities organized by the Eternal God on time, you can receive free treatment during regular free clinics;
So much so that as long as you make a certain amount of donation in the church, you can get a cup of precious, priceless water of life.
This is the holy water that can truly cure illnesses with a cup of medicine!
According to different personal financial resources, Eternal God has also divided different donation standards and collection times to ensure that everyone can afford it and receive timely treatment.
Poor people may only need an ordinary copper soul coin.
A wealthy family may need tens of thousands of precious gold soul coins.
Those nobles with high positions and generous salaries even need to fulfill some specific conditions.
At first, it was not like no one had some evil thoughts.
But as the Eternal God's Religion showed off the high-end force it "hired" from the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce, these people with evil intentions disappeared.
The Eternal God Religion declares to the outside world that doing good deeds is to accumulate merit for oneself, and being pious is to accumulate tickets for oneself to ascend to the Kingdom of God in the future.
The Kingdom of God and eternal life are so illusory that few people believe them.
However, the life-extending and therapeutic effects of the water of life are real, and no one can refute this.
As a result, all kinds of wealthy and noble people have thrown themselves into the embrace of the God of Light and Immortality, relying on their abundant financial resources to accumulate merit for themselves in exchange for health and longevity.
The Eternal God Church uses the donated money to expand its sphere of influence, build more churches, and help more people in need.
Those poor people, after receiving help, gave a more pure and pious faith, and contributed to Qian Chaoguang's condensation of divine personality and the opening up of the Kingdom of God.
In this way, the rich gain health, the Eternal God Religion gains faith, and the poor gain material assistance.
It's a pure win-win-win.
On this day, Pope Zhang Bowen of the Eternal Divine Sect led many bishops and clergymen in the church to visit the disaster-stricken areas in the former Tianhun Empire to hold a grand prayer meeting.
It is said to be a prayer meeting, but in fact it can be said to be a very large charity event.
The scale is as large as a small continent-wide high-level soul master elite competition.
There were at least hundreds of thousands of believers who came to the scene.
