Douluo starts with the Pea Shooter

Hongxia Terrace is an important military fortress of the Southern Fire Empire. It borders the Western Gold Empire and is also the bridgehead for the Southern Fire Empire to fight against the Western Gold Empire.

Because the fire attribute itself restrains the gold attribute, the Southern Fire Empire also has a considerable strategic advantage over the Western Gold Empire. Therefore, this fortress often takes the initiative to initiate battles.

It is one of the most important military fortresses. The Western Gold Empire has always wanted to clear the military fortress on Hongxia Terrace, but it has never succeeded. Affected by the attribute restraint, it needs to send several times the troops to take down this fortress.

As for the Northern Water Empire, which requested the North to restrain the Southern Fire Empire, it also had to pay a considerable price, because the water attribute also restrained the gold attribute to a certain extent. Gold gave birth to water. Although it would not encounter direct restraint in battle, the attacks they released could be absorbed and immune to the opponent to a certain extent, and they were also at a considerable disadvantage in strategy. If they chose to go to the northern players, the result would definitely be a lion's mouth.

It is precisely because the Western Gold Empire is in such a huge strategic disadvantage. It will let Lieyan take this place as a breakthrough.

On the Hongxia Terrace, in front of the military fortress, a heroic red-haired female warrior in armor appeared here, with her hands on her waist, shouting at the gate of the fortress, asking if there was a magician inside.

The army has always welcomed the extraordinary people, who can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the army. In such a world, Xiaomi and ordinary people are the main force in the war process.

The more powerful the extraordinary people are, the more welcome they are. There may be some struggles within the army, but in the process of external war, the stronger the power of one's side is, the better.

Although Lieyan's attitude was not very good, the six crowns of Yin and Yang crowns released from his head still made the military chief here politely invite him in. After all, the chief here is only at the seventh level, not much stronger than Lieyan.

"Miss, are you sure you want to join the army? If you don't even tell me where you came from, it will be hard for me to do it." Wang Zhenghe said helplessly. Although his army needed strong people to join, he was still a little entangled with people of unknown origin. If something happened, he would have no way to explain it to the higher-ups.

"What's inconvenient? It's hard for you to do it, right? Is it hard to do it like this?" As Lieyan spoke, a black flame was released from one of his hands.

The black flame is the manifestation of the ultimate fire. The original Ding fire in this world is blue and the Bing fire is red. When they are compressed a hundred times to become the ultimate attribute, the Ding fire will turn black and the Bing fire will turn gold.

See, when you reach the ninth level, you can release this black ultimate flame. Wang Zhenghe's child's hole contracted. He knew very well what this meant. Only the Heavenly Stem Apostles could use the power of the ultimate attribute without reaching the ninth level.

And there are at most ten such people on a continent. If you miss them, I'm afraid it will be cheap for others. These are absolutely top geniuses, and they will definitely become the strongest group of people on the continent in the future.

"This... Although I personally want to believe you, your practice of not revealing your identity at all is still a bit troublesome in terms of procedures, but I should be able to think of a way. You can stay in the army first."

When Wang Zhenghe was thinking about how to operate Lieyan, he saw Lieyan impatiently said: "If this is not enough, then what about this?"

While speaking, he spread out the palm of his other hand, and in his other palm, golden flames jumped out.

"Bing...Bingwu Yuanyang Holy Fire!" Wang Zhenghe was more familiar with this golden flame than the black flame. This was the ultimate form of the Bing Fire he cultivated. The Bingwu Yuanyang Holy Fire was exactly the same level as the black flame just now.

"How is it possible? How could you be born with two extreme flames? Could it be..."

"That's right, I have a physique of yin and yang balance, which is a waste body that is absolutely impossible to cultivate in the legend, but I still successfully completed the cultivation, and cultivated both attributes of the flame at the same time. This is enough, right?"

"Enough, enough! Don't worry, join the army, and I will solve all other troubles." Seeing the talent displayed by Lieyan. Wang Zhenghe also chose to accept it without any hesitation.

No need to think about it. With such a talent, if he joins his army, no matter how big the trouble is, he must find a way to cover him up, and never let Lieyan run to other people.

Lieyan also roughly saw how outstanding his talent was among humans from the other party's reaction, and probably had a plan for the next step.

"The Western Jin Empire will have a military exercise next, which is the 80th birthday of their emperor. This military exercise will be secretly mobilized. The military forces of the southern defense line, then your side of the defense line will be empty, which is your best opportunity to attack."

Lan Nuo, who is Lieyan's plug-in system, also provided her with information at the right time.

Lieyan did not change her expression, but just typed a reply on the space system: "How do you know these things?"

"You should know that most people in this world have installed my space system, and I can actually see everything they do. You also saw that when I use the space system, I will ask users for permission to use the camera and microphone. In short, I want their visual and auditory permissions. Therefore, in theory, as long as I open the sharing of their visual and auditory permissions in the background, I can see what they see and hear what they hear.

Some of these people who use the space system are in high positions and hold important positions. And what they see and hear becomes important intelligence. For me, it is not difficult to obtain intelligence from various countries. With this level of assistance, even if the soldiers you lead are a bunch of trash, you can win every battle."

Lieyan is quite satisfied with her partner. Although she thinks her partner is somewhat unserious and that she may have mental pollution after being with him for a long time, he is still quite well-done in terms of formality.

At the same time, Lan Nuo has also come to the Western Jin Empire. While gathering intelligence, he is also gaining a deep understanding of the country's strength.

From a geographical point of view, the Western Jin Empire is almost the worst among the five empires. Among the three neighboring countries, two have strong restraint capabilities against it, and it may overturn if it is not handled properly. This has led to the Western Jin Empire being quite martial.

This is also the reason why the emperor has to conduct military exercises on his birthday. Such frequent exercises are actually good for the army as a whole, but if such secret military mobilization is discovered, it will obviously cause big problems.

When Lan Nuo was investigating the military strength, he was also investigating the people's livelihood and productivity of this empire. The Western Jin Empire has such an unfavorable geographical location and is restrained by neighboring empires. It is so serious that it can survive and even become one of the five powerful empires. It must have its unique features.

This is also the case. Lan Nuo found that the people of this empire are obviously richer than the people of other empires. This makes Lan Nuo feel a little confused. Obviously, their empire is not much more productive than other empires. Why are their people so motivated to work and live so much better than the people of other empires?

This requires Lan Nuo to conduct a more comprehensive investigation of this country, investigating the data of various industries within this country and the income of the people.

As the investigation deepened, Lan Nuo gradually discovered the problem. This country had some inexplicable extra currencies. Although this was a fantasy world, the currency was not spiritual stones, but traditional precious metals.

Among them, gold coins were the most expensive, followed by silver coins, and copper coins were the smallest denominations. This was not a problem, but the problem was that this empire had a large group of people who could control metals.

Not only could they create metals out of thin air, they could also easily search for real metals buried underground and dig them out.

On the one hand, this greatly improved the productivity of the Western Jin Empire and greatly increased their metal production. On the other hand, it also made them the only empire with the ability to over-issue currency.

If other countries want to get gold and silver coins, they need to spend a lot of money to dig them, and then refine and cast them. In many cases, the cost of casting a coin is even higher than the value of the coin itself, so that they are often unwilling to mint coins.

What kind of situation did this lead to? That is, coins will always be damaged and lost during use. With less and less money circulating in the market, deflation will gradually occur and there will be no money available.

The Western Jin Empire is just the opposite. Their officials are secretly minting coins. For this group of guys who control metals, minting coins is simply too simple. The rulers of the country are also quite rational. They deeply realize that if money is printed indiscriminately, its value will be greatly reduced and its credibility will collapse. Therefore, although the currency is over-issued every year, the amount of over-issued currency is not much, which is probably about the same as the amount of currency lost and damaged in other empires every year.

In this way, their own country will indeed have a certain degree of inflation, but the pressure of inflation will be transferred to the five empires, and the pressure on their own country will not be so great. Invisibly, it is equivalent to stealing money from the other four empires. Although the amount of stolen money is not much, it is enough to maintain their disadvantaged country to stand firm.

"Tsk! We need to inform Lieyan of this information quickly and come up with a countermeasure. Otherwise, when the Western Jin Empire is about to fail, it will over-issue currency, buy weapons from other countries, and hire strong men. That will be a lot of fun. Maybe there will be inflation across the continent."

...

"Inflation? What is that? Is it the same as the puffed food you mentioned before?" Lieyan's reaction to the information shared by Lan Nuo was quite cute.

Lan Nuo: "..."

It's understandable. The underground world doesn't even have money, let alone economics. Don't expect Lieyan to figure out what inflation is.

"In short, when you formulate a strategy, you should try to find ways to avoid the West Jin Empire from printing money crazily when it is desperate. You may think that there is no big problem with printing money crazily now, but you will know in the future that if they really do this, the entire Bright Five Elements Continent will be in chaos."

Lan Nuo roughly explained the situation he investigated to Lie Yan, and explained the consequences of printing money crazily, and then continued to conduct social surveys in the West Jin Empire.

If it is simply richer and can motivate the residents in their country to work more actively, it is not enough to completely make up for the disadvantages of the West Jin Empire in its strategic position.

After all, their foreign wars are mostly failures. In this case, it is definitely impossible to say that they have no other foundation to maintain their own operation.

Lan Nuo did not spend too much effort to investigate the huge advantages of this empire compared to the other four empires.

It is still the advantage of their attributes. Gold, wood, water, fire and earth each have their own advantages, but at the end of the feudal era, when the feudal era has developed to its heyday, the biggest advantage is still the gold attribute.

Or because they are good at extracting and smelting metals, this country has never lacked metal tools and can often export metal tools.

Compared with agricultural products, this thing can be regarded as an industrial product. The added value of the product is obviously higher. It can be exchanged for more benefits in export and can also increase more productivity in the country.

More importantly, metal is the most important material in refining. The Western Jin Empire is the most powerful country in the manufacture and smelting of artifacts, much more powerful than the Southern Fire Empire with powerful flames.

Their country can be said to be rich in various artifacts. Because of this, the combat effectiveness of the extraordinary is higher than that of other strong people of the same level, which is reflected in their equipment advantages.

In this regard, Lan Nuo must target and take advantage of it. The number of artifacts manufactured on the Dark Five Elements Continent is much greater than that on the Bright Five Elements Continent. Under the unified management of the continent, the strong people with fire attributes and gold attributes will participate in the drill and forging of artifacts.

Therefore, in order to make up for the gap between the two continents, while targeting the advantage of the Western Jin Empire, it is not possible to cause too much damage to their artifact casting industry, and their productivity must be preserved as much as possible.
