Chapter 471 Xijin Empire
Hongxia Terrace is an important military fortress of the Southern Fire Empire. It borders the Xijin Empire and is also the bridgehead for the Southern Fire Empire to fight against the Xijin Empire.

Because the fire attribute itself restrains the metal nature, the Southern Fire Empire also has a considerable degree of strategic advantage over the Western Jin Empire.Therefore, this fortress often initiates battles on its own initiative.

It is one of the very important military fortresses. The Xijin Empire has always wanted to clear the military fortress on the Hongxia Terrace, but it has never been successful. Affected by the restraint of attributes, it is necessary to send several times to take this fortress. troops.

As for asking the North to restrain the Southern Fire Empire and the Northern Water Empire, it will also have to pay a considerable price, because the water attribute also restrains the metallic nature to a certain extent, although gold produces water, although it will not encounter direct damage in battle. Restraint, but the attacks they release can be absorbed and immunized by the opponent to a certain extent, and they are also at a considerable disadvantage strategically. If they choose to send players to the north, the result will definitely be a lion.

It is precisely because the Xijin Empire is at such a huge strategic disadvantage.Only then will Lie Yan use this place as a breakthrough.

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

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

The more powerful the extraordinary, the more welcome they are. Maybe there will be some struggles within the army, but in the course of the war against the outside, it is natural that the stronger the strength of one's own side, the better.

Although Lie Yan's attitude was not very good, the six yin and yang crowns released on his head still made the military chief here politely invite him in. After all, the chief here is only at the seventh rank, which is not as good as Lie Yan. How much is stronger.

"Girl, are you sure you want to join the army? It's hard for me if you don't even mention your native place." Wang Zhenghe said helplessly. The unknown person still made him a little entangled. If something happened, he would have no way to explain it to the higher-ups.

"What's the inconvenience? Is it difficult for you to do it, so is it still difficult to do it like this?" During the words, Lie Yan's hand released a black flame.

The black flame is the expression of the ultimate fire. In this world, the original Dinghuo is blue and Binghuo is red, but when they are compressed a hundred times to become the ultimate attribute, Dinghuo will turn black, and Binghuo will become black. Fire turns gold.

See if it reaches the ninth level, it releases this black extreme flame.Wang Zhenghe also constricted his pupils, and he knew very well what this meant that he could use the power of the ultimate attribute without reaching the ninth level, which only the apostles of heavenly stems could do.

And there are at most ten people like this on a continent. If I miss it, I'm afraid it will be cheaper for others. These are absolute top talents, and they will definitely become the strongest group of people on the continent in the future.

"This... Although I personally want to trust you, your practice of not disclosing your identity at all is still somewhat 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 Lie Yan, Lie Yan said impatiently: "If this is not enough, what about this?"

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

"Bing... Bingwu Yuanyang Sacred Flame!" King Zhenghe is more familiar with this golden flame than the black flame. This is the ultimate form of Binghuo he cultivated himself. Existence of the same rank.

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

"That's right, I have a physique with a balance of yin and yang, and I am a waste body that is absolutely impossible to cultivate according to the legend, but I still successfully completed the cultivation and cultivated the flames of the two attributes at the same time. This should be enough."

"It's enough, it's enough! Don't worry, join the army, and I will take care of all other troubles." Seeing such talent displayed by Lie Yan.Wang Zhenghe also chose to accept it without any hesitation.

No need to think about it, if someone with this kind of talent joins his army, no matter how much trouble he causes, he must find a way to cover him up, and he must not let Lie Yan run away to other people.

From the reaction of the other party, Lie Yan can roughly see how outstanding his talent is among human beings, and he probably has a plan for the future.

"Next, the Xijin Empire will have a military exercise, which is their emperor's 80th birthday. This time the military exercise will be secretly mobilized. The military strength of the southern defense line will be empty at that time. It is your best offensive opportunity."

As Lie Yan's plug-in system, Lan Nuo also provided her with information at the right time.

Lie Yan didn't change his expression, he just typed a reply on the space system: "How do you know these things?"

"You should know that the vast majority of people in this world have installed my space system, and I can actually see what they do, and you have seen it. , will ask the user for permission to use the camera and microphone. In short, it is asking for their visual permission and hearing permission. See what they hear.

Some of these people who use the space system are in high positions and important positions.And what they saw and heard became important information.It is not difficult for me to obtain intelligence from various countries.With this level of assistance, even if the soldiers you lead are a bunch of trash, you can still win every battle. "

Lie Yan is quite satisfied with her partner, although she feels that her partner is a little unscrupulous, and after getting along with him for a long time, there may be mental pollution, but in terms of formality.What the other party did was quite in place.

At the same time, Lan Nuo has also come to the Xijin Empire. While looking for information, he is also gaining a deeper understanding of the country's strength.

In terms of geographical location, the Xijin Empire is almost the worst of the five great empires. Among the three bordering countries, two of them have a very strong ability to restrain themselves. The Xijin Empire was quite martial.

This is also the reason why the emperor had to conduct military exercises on his birthday. Such frequent drills are actually good for the army as a whole, but if this secret military transfer 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 the empire. The geographical position of the Xijin Empire was so unfavorable that it was restrained by the neighboring empires. It was so serious that it could survive and even become one of the five powerful empires. One, there must be his uniqueness.

The fact is also true. Lan Nuo found that the people of this empire were obviously better off than those of other empires. This made Lan Nuo feel a little puzzled. Obviously, their empire was not much more productive than other empires, so why did their people have such wealth? The enthusiasm for work, life is so much richer than the people of other empires.

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

With the deepening of the investigation, Lan Nuo also gradually discovered the problem. This country will inexplicably produce more currency. Although this is a fantasy world, the currency is not spirit stones and the like, and traditional precious metals are still used as currency. .

Among them, gold coins are the most expensive, followed by silver coins, and copper coins are the smallest denomination. There is no problem with this, but the problem lies in this empire, which has a large group of people who can control metals.

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

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

If other countries want to get gold coins and silver coins, they need to spend a lot of cost to dig them out. After they are mined, they need to be refined and cast. In many cases, the cost of casting a coin is even higher than the value of the coin itself. , so that they are often reluctant to mint coins.

What kind of situation does this lead to?That is, coins will always be damaged and lost in the process of use, and the money circulating in the market will become less and less, and deflation will gradually appear, and there will be no money available.

The Xijin 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, and the rulers of the country are also quite rational, and they have a deep understanding of money. If this kind of thing is printed indiscriminately, its own value will be greatly reduced, and its own reputation will collapse. Therefore, although over-issued currency is issued every year, the amount of over-issued currency is not much, which is probably the same as Other empires lose a similar amount of damaged currency each year.

This test of your own country will indeed cause a certain degree of inflation, but the pressure of inflation has been passed on to the five empires, and the pressure on their own countries will not be so great. Although the amount of money stolen from the empire is not large, it is enough to maintain their foothold as a country in a disadvantaged position.

"Tsk! We must inform Lie Yan of this information as soon as possible and come up with a way to deal with it. Otherwise, when the Xijin Empire is about to fail, it will be crazy to issue currency, and then go to other countries to buy weapons and hire strong people. It will be a lot of fun. , it might be continent-wide inflation.”

……

"Inflation? What is that? Is it the same as the puffed food you mentioned earlier?" Lie Yan reacted rather dumbly to the information shared by Lan Nuo.

Lan Nuo: "..."

It's understandable that the underground world doesn't even have money, not to mention economics, so don't expect Lie Yan to figure out what inflation is.

"In short, when you are formulating your strategy, you should try your best to avoid the crazy printing of money when the Xijin Empire is in a hurry. You may think that printing crazy money is not a big problem now, but you will know in the future. If you really let If they do this, the entire Bright Five Elements Continent will be in chaos."

Lan Nuo roughly explained the situation of his investigation to Lie Yan, and explained the consequences of crazy money printing, and then continued to conduct social investigations in the Xijin Empire.

If it is purely richer and can motivate the residents of the country to work more actively, it is not enough to fully make up for the disadvantage of the Xijin Empire in its strategic position.

After all, most of their foreign wars fail. In this case, it is definitely impossible to say that they do not have any other background to maintain their own operation.

Lan Nuo didn't spend too much effort to investigate the huge advantage of this empire over the other four empires.

It is still the advantages of their attributes, metal, 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 has to be metal.

It is also because they are good at extracting and smelting metals, which makes this country never lack of metal tools, and can often export metal tools.

Compared with agricultural products, this product is already considered an industrial product, and the added value of the product is obviously higher. It can exchange for more benefits in export, and it can also increase more productivity in the domestic market.

More importantly, metal is the most important material in refining weapons. The Xijin Empire is the most powerful country in the manufacture and smelting of artifacts, much stronger than the Southern Fire Empire with its powerful flames.

Their country can be said to be rich in all kinds of artifacts, and because of this, the fighting power of the extraordinary is higher than that of other powerhouses of the same level, which is reflected in their equipment advantages.

In this regard, Lan Nuo must target and use it at the same time. The number of artifacts manufactured in the Dark Five Elements Continent is much larger than that in the Bright Five Elements Continent. The strong will participate in the training and forging of the artifact.

Therefore, in order to bridge the gap between the two continents, while aiming at the advantage of the Xijin Empire, they should not cause too much damage to their artifact casting industry, and they must retain their productivity as much as possible.
