It was already evening when Li Cong returned home, and the candles at the door were already lit. As soon as he entered the door, he felt a gust of wind blowing over him. Li Cong knew that someone was attacking him. He could tell from the speed of the wind.

It seems that this guy is still a novice. It is simply impossible for him to attack him with this ability. Soon, Li Cong thought that it was his son.

She jumped up and escaped the attack. Sure enough, it was this son. Now she has the strength of a seventh-level warrior. Her progress is still very fast. His pearls played a big role. It's just that you have such ability.

You came to attack me, and you are not afraid that I will hurt you as soon as you attack. Seeing that his father easily dodged his attack, Xiao Ao still had some disappointment on his face.

"You're a very brave boy. You can compete with a master like your father with such little ability. This means you meet me. If you meet others, they may kill you at once. Give it to me in the future.

Absolutely remember, before you reach that level of strength, never mess with the masters. You must know that these masters have their own dignity. Some people even have direct personality quirks, and they may kill you.

"Why, even if I am very powerful, I can kill him to avenge you, but your name is gone. You have to cherish your own life, understand?" Li Cong said, last time he sneaked to the Eastern Empire.

I went to a casino and was almost detained by someone from that casino. I am still a little scared. Xiao Ao also knew that what happened last time left a big psychological shadow on my father. He nodded quickly to express his feelings.

He won't do that kind of thing anymore. In fact, he just wanted Li Cong to praise him a few words and let him see how much progress he has made now.

"Father, the pearls are really very useful. The energy they absorb is the energy I need. After absorbing them, I feel that my current ability can reach above a seventh-level warrior, even if I fight against an ordinary eighth-level warrior.

Get up and start fighting. If he doesn't have a good weapon in his hand, I will definitely not lose. What do you think of my speed just now?" This guy was very excited when he talked about his newly improved strength, which is correct.

As long as there is a little pursuit of people in this world, who doesn't want to become more powerful. Now this boy's strength is still very good. It should be said that he has developed very quickly. Li Cong also has many secrets about this boy. His

What exactly is inherited memory? Li Congzhi knew that as long as he spoke, he would definitely tell himself this, but he is a person and he is a plant life. Although he calls himself father, there are many differences between the two people.

, even if you tell yourself those things, you can't use them on yourself.

"I also saw your speed just now. It is indeed very fast, but there is still a shortcoming, that is, it is not accurate enough. You have speed. If your accuracy cannot keep up, such an attack will be a waste of your own energy.

, does no harm to your enemy. If you continue like this, it will be useless. From now on, you should abandon training your speed and practice your accuracy. These feelings are still in your eyes at this stage.

It's useful. If you improve it further, it won't be a problem with your eyes. Look at the masters fighting, they can feel where their enemies are even if they don't look back. This is how they treat their enemies when they make moves.

Well. Why is that? You can simulate where that person is by feeling the surging airflow around you, and you are simulating it in your own mind." From this time on, Professor Li also began to teach his son through words and deeds.

In terms of actual combat skills, this guy is pretty good, but he doesn't have any skills.

This so-called actual combat experience is even more lacking. What's more, it can only be compared with ordinary people or people whose strength is very different from him. Just like what he said, if you really meet an eighth-level warrior, you will be tortured.

His strength has reached this level, but if other things cannot keep up, he will be the one who suffers the loss. Xiao Ao nodded herself. She is beginning to understand now. What is different from before is the pride in herself.

He was thrown away by him when he was older. He still remembers what happened to the Eastern Empire in the casino. If his father hadn't arrived quickly, he might have become someone else's now. Even if he didn't give in for the rest of his life, then he would

I will never see the light of day in the future. I can never live such a life. From this point of view, my father has given me a second life. The person in front of me helps me so selflessly. In my heart,

I really don’t know what to say. Although the father and son don’t have to do this, they are still touched in their hearts!

Accuracy, this is what Xiao Ao is talking about now. He used to practice slowly by himself, but no one came to guide him. Li was never convenient to give him guidance. He would only tell Xiao Ao when he wanted to ask, because Li

From the feeling that he is a person, Xiao Ao is a plant life. Although the two people get along as father and son, they are different after all. Xiao Ao has his own inherited memories. Li Cong is also afraid that some of his experiences may be passed on to him.

If it conflicts with his inheritance experience, it is a big deal. What if he becomes a nondescript person? At that time, he was the one who regretted it, so it is better for him to speak less at this time.

When Xiao Ao heard what Li Cong reminded him, it was like an enlightenment. He didn't find his shortcomings in the past, but now he has found them quickly enough. What he has to do now is to develop in the right direction.

Li Cong told Xiao Ao for a while and then went to do his own thing. Although he had finished his work here, the outside world was about to change. First of all, there was the strong counterattack of the Eastern Empire on the northern battlefield.

When Li Cong spoke to the generals in the Northern Empire, they were able to suppress the arrogance of the Eastern Empire. But now the Eastern Empire has invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and all the dozens of cities that were accumulated first have been destroyed.

The troops have been seized and taken back. Due to the insufficient number of troops, they are now forced to switch to defense. A tug-of-war has formed. Today I will attack a few of your cities and tomorrow you will take them back. It can be said that everyone is not having an easy time now.

It has completely turned into a complete war of attrition. The three major empires also have a terrible headache about this. They can no longer afford blood transfusions.

For example, in a battle that took place on the northern battlefield a few days ago, tens of millions of people on both sides fought for nearly a day. The casualties in the Eastern Empire were as high as 13 million. That is the three empires plus Li Cong.

The losses were close to 10 million people. It can be said that there were literally mountains of corpses. Because of this war, neither side would immediately launch a larger-scale war within the next month. The senior officials of the Eastern Empire were all here at this time.

Consider whether you have to pay such a high price for the Thunder Gate. Based on the current losses, even if all the Thundermen come back in a few years, they will have to leave their own blood on it, and there is still a third one in the Eastern Empire.

The third battlefield of the two battlefields, this second battlefield is the battlefield established by Li Cong on the southern coast. Now nearly two hundred cities have fallen into the hands of Li Cong. This is nothing to them.

The Eastern Empire was very vast with 200 counties and cities, which they could not afford to lose. But the most terrible thing was the uprising of the peasants in the east. The peasant uprising had swept through nearly thirty provinces and hundreds of cities. These peasants had great appeal.

It's simply too long. The Eastern Empire court has been using strong pressure to suppress these farmers, but the actual situation is that these farmers' backlash is very powerful, and they seem to have used a very strange tactic. They

If they don't confront you head-on, they will retreat when your army comes, and they will come again when your army retreats. This is very painful for some local wealthy businessmen and bureaucrats. They have been at home for a month without knowing that they are going to be attacked.

How many times have these peasants robbed? It can be said that they have become peasants now. Anyway, they have nothing, so they can directly fight with these people. Of course, another thing has also happened, that is, these landlords have begun to

own weapons.

At the beginning, the top leaders of the Eastern Empire strictly prohibited the landlords and wealthy businessmen below from forming their own armies. They still tried to convince them that the court would solve the problem. At the beginning, these rich businessmen were also

They believed in the court, and they did not do anything excessive. But when their home was robbed several times in a month, they simply lost all confidence in the court. Your court always said that we should wait.

But what are we waiting for? Your army did not wait for these peasants when they arrived. After they came in, they burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil. Maybe they were too happy with these landlords and bullied them.

After being bullied for so many years, shouldn’t we allow others to bully us? This kind of reasoning probably doesn’t make sense anywhere, so these landlords began to spend money to arm themselves and recruit everyone around them to give them weapons.

In this way, certain landlord league training organizations were formed. These league organizations usually work in their own homes, and there are also some honest people. That is to say, when these peasant armies are coming, they will work in the landlord

Under the call of the peasant army, we unite to fight against these peasant armies. Compared with the peasants, their armed forces and weapons are still very good, because most of the peasant army's items are from home and cannot be used on the battlefield at all.

The things they use are all bought by the landlords, but their fighting will is far behind that of the peasant army. The peasant army seems to understand that they are quarreling for themselves now, and these people want to

What they get is just the salary given by the landlord. On the real battlefield, they still want to save their own lives. There is no need to work hard for less than a few taels of silver a month. In the end, those who are saved are also those of the landlord.

Money has nothing to do with them, right?

The imperial court of the Eastern Empire saw that it could no longer control this matter, so it organized some armed landlords from various places and directly gave them some official positions. For example, if you were the landlord of this town, you

More than a thousand people have been recruited, so you will be the eighth-rank official of the imperial court. Of course, the imperial court will only issue you a letter of appointment. There will be no salary or official uniform. These will be taken back after the peasant army is flattened.

Yes, you are responsible for these armies of yours. When the court orders you, you must do it. When the court does not order, you will naturally be in charge. These landlords and armed forces also need a title from the court. In short, this matter will come to an end.

The empire's ability to control various places can be said to have dropped by a notch. In the past, except for the government and the army, there were no other people. Now these landlords' armed forces have grown up. It is absolutely impossible for them to listen to the imperial court in the future.

things.

The landlord is a very greedy person. The reason why I am doing this is to protect my family property and want to listen to the court more often in the future? How is this possible? Did the court buy him anything? When these farmers came in, he would do it every day.

They all rely on their own lives to protect their own property, and the court has nothing, right? The court just told them that the army was coming, but after waiting day after day, did the army come to the court? So the court's order

It's basically just a piece of waste paper here. This is what Li Cong saw and wanted to see. He also thought that the landowners in dozens of provinces had other ideas. If this was the case, they would segregate this area.

The place is okay. Of course, this is the eastern area of ​​the Eastern Empire. Li Cong's hands are not that long yet. It is impossible to develop here. The scope is not wide enough now. If they want to rebel, they will probably

Those who were destroyed by the Eastern Empire should just slowly wait for their strength to grow. When the Eastern Empire can no longer sustain them, it is time for them to develop.

In view of the current situation in the Eastern Empire, the other three imperial royal families did not do anything. They also had some of their own informants in the Eastern Empire, and they slowly imported some weapons, food and other things through their own eyes.

The empire's customs defense areas have also guarded their fortresses, and these things are absolutely not allowed to flow in from the three empires. At this time, they thought of the fleet, but the fleets of the three empires are not very powerful at all? Want to

It is impossible to support these peasant uprisings through sea transportation, but Li Cong has this ability. He does not want the three empires to intervene in this matter. He can support these peasant uprisings by himself. From the three empires

The empire has made enough money. In the future, he can completely control this weapon in his own hands. Why should he score with the three empires? He rejected Ting from the three empires and planned to go it alone.

The Thunder Sect headquarters is also anxious. The Thunder Sect was originally an accessory created by the Eastern Empire. Now that the East Empire is in danger, how can the Thunder Sect sit safely? The top management of the Thunder Sect has held meetings to discuss for several times.

times, but the result is the same, nothing is achieved, and nothing is discussed. A group of activists among them are already rushing out of the frozen forest. At this time, the Cao Family Trading Company's army has been greatly expanded.

Some of the troops that have been transferred to the front line to block the frozen forest are very few. If they can rush out at this time and get in touch with the people from the Thunder Sect in various places, they can create huge trouble for the three empires in the rear. The Eastern Empire

The senior management actually wanted to sacrifice the Thunder Gate to change the current situation, but both sides had not yet found a good running-in point.

Li Cong's losses during this period were also very huge. Just like in the last war, Li Cong lost nearly three million people on his own side. He spent his money like water every day, although Li Cong's ability to make money was very high.

Strong, but having to throw in tens of billions of dollars every day is very embarrassing for Li Cong. It is okay if there is a prospect for throwing in the money. The main reason is that if there is no prospect, he cannot continue like this, so Li Cong

After choosing to retreat on the northern battlefield, the armies of the three empires have also gone up in person. They also know that relying solely on the Cao Family Trading Company's army is no longer able to resist the Eastern Empire's army. The numerical gap between the two sides is very large. Even if

Even though the Cao Family Trading Company's army had advanced weapons such as artillery, it was not able to withstand the Eastern Empire's army. Li Cong unloaded part of the artillery from the warship and gave it to the army.

The effect is quite good, but there are too many people who can't hold off the opponent. Hundreds of thousands of people rush forward in one charge. You only have dozens of artillery here, and even if these dozens of artillery fire keep firing,

Even firing one shot per second couldn't resist all these people. Those people from the Eastern Empire swarmed forward as if they were desperate. The people in front of them were blown to pieces, and the people behind them directly stepped on those in front.

The corpses rushed forward, which also surprised Li Cong. He really didn't expect that these people could survive to this extent. The war must continue to fight. Li Cong had no other choice but to continue to support the front line. Now things

It has begun to develop in an aspect that Li Cong cannot control, which is the worst ending that Li Cong said at the beginning. At present, even the royal families of several major empires have no way to control the direction of this war.

In fact, all empires and forces have their own opinions. But the one who is most troubled among them can be said to be the Eastern Empire. The emperor of the Eastern Empire can say that there are strong men who have broken their arms now. He must solve this matter first. He has found

Li Cong was asked to go to the Eastern Empire to negotiate. The first thing that had to be resolved was the matter on the southern coast. He knew that the matter on the northern battlefield would not be so easy to resolve. It was impossible for Li Cong to promise him a truce in the north, even if it was the Cao Family Trading Company.

If the army retreats in the north, it is impossible to stop the northern battlefield. Because the northern battlefield has now joined the armies of the three empires, no matter how powerful the Cao Family Trading Company is, it can only drag out its own army. The armies of the three empires

If he does not withdraw, the northern battlefield will still continue, but Li Cong can completely solve the battlefield in the southern sea area by himself. The emperor of the Eastern Empire must also be very clear about this, so he should talk to Li Cong about the southern area.

The problem.

At present, from the perspective of the army, Li Cong does not have the nature to go head-to-head with the Eastern Empire Army, mainly because the strength gap between the two sides is too big. But in the navy, it is completely different. Li Cong's navy can be said to be the entire continent.

The most powerful, but now the cooperation between the Navy and the Marine Corps has reached its limit. Some areas along the southern coast of the Eastern Empire have been completely captured by the Navy. If they go deeper into the interior, they will need to send a large number of troops. They are now

There is no such army that can land from here. There is no such energy to continue to develop internally, so they must also take some actions in the south. However, the Eastern Empire royal family does not know these things. Li Cong found someone to spread the news.

The news that came out was that the southern coastal area was currently gathering strength to prepare for a large-scale battle. The royal family of the Eastern Empire also believed this news, otherwise they would not have negotiated with Li Cong so quickly.

Before the negotiations started, Li Cong had already thought about what treaty he should make with them. First of all, it is impossible to spit out these places if you occupy them yourself. You can delegate management fund management. But you must not garrison troops.

, taxes and all other expenses are still yours, but I want a certain proportion, which will allow Li Cong to slowly start to encroach on the empire. Of course, if you are unwilling, we will not negotiate, then we will maintain the current situation.

This is the situation. Unless you can gather a large number of troops to attack us in a short period of time, we will return to the sea. If you cannot gather a large number of troops yourself, you will have to turn your southern region into the Cao family.
To be continued...
