Chapter 105: Prepare for War

"Yes." Li Tingyu nodded and walked up.

She stretched out her jade-like delicate fingers and tapped the back of one of them.

She didn't even take off her helmet.

Many lords around couldn't help but shudder.

Soul search, can it be gentle?

Wouldn't it be possible to not even know that your soul was searched?

He is indeed a legendary hero.

To be honest, these days, the lords can be said to be both yearning and afraid of Shen Fei's hero. The yearning is naturally because of her beauty and temperament, and the fear is because of her methods. This ability that seems to read minds is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Moreover, her daily commands and orders are very queen-like.

It is only when Shen Fei is around that she always looks well-behaved.

Just for this point alone, I don't know how many lords envy her.

At this time, Li Tingyu's movements were indeed very gentle. Even though the aura of magic had already lit up on her fingers, the two captives did not seem to be in much pain. They only twitched from time to time, indicating that they were being searched.

After a moment, Li Tingyu retracted her fingers and closed her eyes slightly.

The scene was extremely quiet.

No one dared to breathe.

Every lord wanted to know what was going on with the local civilization, whether a war would break out soon, and how much of a threat the opponent's strength would pose to them.

It was not until Li Tingyu opened her eyes and looked at Shen Fei respectfully that everyone's attention was refocused on Shen Fei.

"Is there any good news?" Shen Fei had always had a relaxed expression, and at this moment he even joked, "If there is no good news, many people might suffer from insomnia."

There were bursts of laughter at the scene, but the nervous expression was still not much relieved.

"Of course there is good news." After getting Shen Fei's order, Li Tingyu said, "The local civilization has suffered a devastating blow when the gray fog was born and spread. Only a few races and forces have built floating units and fled to the sky, but they are still in a chaotic period after the doomsday catastrophe. Their strength is completely inconsistent with their technical level, and even supplies are in short supply. Ordinary grassroots personnel like these two can only venture to the ground covered by gray fog from time to time to find resources."

After Li Tingyu's voice fell, an excited voice suddenly came from the crowd.

"After all this time, it turns out to be a doomsday wasteland world!"

Many people reacted one after another, and some people who usually like to watch TV series and read novels were even more excited.

"It's an opportunity! The leader is right!"

"Lack of food, lack of supplies, advanced technology, hiss - perfect trading partner."

"It's good news!"

"You think too simply, it's precisely because of the lack of resources that they are targeting us!"

"Then fight, what are you afraid of! Can't beat a complete civilization, can't beat a doomsday wreckage?"

"Seize people! Seize technology!"

"."

The lords' concerns and fears about the local civilization are more derived from the unknown.

But if it is known, the fear will be greatly reduced.

Li Tingyu's words not only alleviated everyone's worries, but also aroused everyone's enthusiasm.

Even now, there are still many people who regard this world as a game.

And in the game, plundering and strengthening oneself is a matter of course.

It seems that there is such an opportunity in front of us, and there are indeed many lords who are eager to fight.

"Okay." Shen Fei spoke at this time.

Everyone gradually quieted down, but there were still many people looking at Shen Fei with fiery eyes.

Shen Fei naturally has the highest say in what to do next.

"I need to get more information about what to do next, but one thing is known. There is already a natural conflict of interest between us who occupy the land and the local civilization that has lost the land. Unless one side is stronger, war is inevitable. I ask you to collect more materials, produce and train people, store food, and prepare for war in advance. I will also promise you victory and benefits. I believe that no lord in the world has more weight than my promise!" Shen Fei's firm and confident voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of every lord present.

Many people were excited and wanted to scream.

Even the eyes looking at Shen Fei were fanatical.

That's right, they are the world's first region! They have the world's strongest lord! In this world, in this game, they should be the attackers! They are predators!

However, what these people don't know is that when Shen Fei turned around and left with two captives, he shook his head at Li Tingyu and sighed.

"Order was established too quickly, which is not entirely beneficial. These lords have never experienced hard times, and many of them are naive and lack motivation. They rush in without thinking when they see benefits, and flee desperately when they see threats and troubles. In this situation, I'm afraid they can't fight a tough battle."

That's right. When Shen Fei learned that he found the two in ten minutes, he was not happy, but frowned.

Giving punishments and rewards is so efficient, what were they doing an hour earlier?

Now watching these people being encouraged by him with just a few words, he realized more clearly that the will and reason of these lords were not very firm.

Leaving the cruel environment and the threat of death too early, the mentality of the people is getting closer and closer to game players. They are either afraid of war or yearning for it - yearning is not a good thing, because this yearning is based on a wrong understanding of war, rather than still moving forward firmly after correctly understanding war.

It would be fine if they always win with a big advantage.

Once they fall into a disadvantage, there will be death and sacrifice, or they realize that war is not as easy as they originally thought, most of these excited lords will be timid and retreat, and quickly go from one extreme to another.

"I think that being naive has its advantages." Li Tingyu is more optimistic than Shen Fei. "Everyone is naive at the beginning, which means that they are highly malleable. As long as they experience more, they can grow up. Moreover, I have observed that not all lords follow the crowd. Many of them have shown caution and calmness."

"Really?" Shen Fei's expression improved a lot when he heard Li Tingyu say this. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Maybe my expectations are too high. I reflect on it."

Although it was a joke, Shen Fei did reflect on himself.

Rome was not built in a day, and a strong and determined force from the inside out is even more so.

Perhaps it was an overly perfect start that made him a little anxious.

After a long breath, Shen Fei saw that there were no other lords around, so he stopped and asked: "Okay, I just finished talking about the good news, now it's time to talk about the bad news. Don't deny it. Those who can escape from the doomsday disaster must be the most essential part of the entire civilization."

"Yes." Li Tingyu knew that her master was never too optimistic, so she didn't deny it. At this time, she explained in detail, "Resource shortages and food shortages seem to be true. The local civilization lacks effective means to purify the gray fog. As long as they stay in the gray fog for a longer time, even if they wear protective shields and make full preparations, there will be a risk of corrosion. Therefore, except for a few "ground walkers" who are not allowed to come to the ground for exploration due to survival crises, most people live on floating islands, floating cities, or floating units such as airships and airships. The strength of these units varies greatly. The weak ones are in danger, but a few strong ones still retain strong military strength."

"For example?" Shen Fei knew that Li Tingyu must have known the specific information to be so sure.

"Karen Company." Li Tingyu gave this name. "The captive is just a low-level staff and doesn't know much, but he has seen the caravan of Karen Company with his own eyes. There are hundreds of large and small airships, all equipped with force-type alchemical equipment. More importantly, the reason why Karen Company is translated as company by me is because they have been selling various alchemical devices such as airships and flying motorcycles to other floating units, including alchemical breeding equipment."

"I see." Shen Fei nodded.

He already knew why Li Tingyu focused on describing this force.

Let's not talk about anything else.

Being able to sell alchemical equipment at least shows that this force has a certain alchemical industry capacity. While providing its own needs, it can also provide alchemical industry products to other forces, and even may have the strength to continue climbing the alchemical technology tree.

"This should be the most powerful one we are likely to come into contact with." Shen Fei was not too worried, but just said, "Since such a force exists, we need to delay the time for us to be noticed as much as possible. Time is on our side after all, so, what kind of force do these two people come from?"

"A force called Cleary's Ground Group has only one old floating airship. Its main income is to buy slaves from other floating units, and then use them as consumables to collect resources on the ground, and then sell the resources for profit. At the same time, they also serve as mercenaries, transport teams, and air pirates." Li Tingyu paused for a moment and gave a summary evaluation, "It is a small grassroots force formed in a chaotic order for survival. The leader Cleary is said to be a 'strong man' with alchemy equipment, but his specific strength is not clear."

"Oh?" Shen Fei was interested, "It sounds like a good entry point."

"Tingyu thinks so too." Li Tingyu smiled slightly.

The current situation is not difficult to analyze.

For the local civilization, what Shen Fei and his team lack most is still intelligence information.

Even though the two captives knew that the Karen Company was the strongest local force that they might come into contact with in the surrounding area, they were still completely in the dark about the strength of this force when faced with an unfamiliar supernatural system.
