Chapter 680 Terra's Army Enters Earth
The adjutant reported to Han Niba in a deep voice:
"Report: The current estimated number of remaining demons on Earth is around 150 million."
"They are mainly distributed in areas other than the North and South Poles."
"Most of the large-scale demon hordes have been dispersed, and the remaining ones are scattering towards the equatorial ruins, old city clusters, and underground spaces."
Han Niba listened expressionlessly.
More than 150 million heads, that number is still enormous.
Especially considering the terrifying individual combat power of the demon race.
If this number were to be heard in the face of a disaster, any country would despair.
However, for the Great Xia Dynasty after the apocalypse, as long as the spatial wormhole is controlled, the remaining demons are simply targets to be eliminated sooner or later.
Since there's no one left near the equator of Earth anyway, it won't hurt to let the demons survive for a few more days.
Han Niba said in a deep voice:
"Continue to restrict their range of activities."
"After the Kona landing operation begins, no more large-scale demonic tides can occur on Earth's home planet."
The adjutant immediately straightened his body:
"yes!"
.......
Meanwhile, the continent of Terra also became busy.
In the camps of various ethnic groups, the sounds of preparing weapons, counting supplies, and selecting soldiers could be heard everywhere.
Warwick had previously assumed that elves, dwarves, and holy humans were far wealthier than orcs, so they might not care about the money spent cleaning up demon corpses.
But he was wrong.
Nearly two hundred years of war have gradually eroded the wealth accumulated by the demon races of Terra, except for races like dragons with ridiculously deep fortunes.
Even more frustratingly, after the emergence of the Great Xia, the various tribes of Terra began to purchase large quantities of modern equipment.
Firearms, artillery, tanks, and shells—these things are indeed useful, but buying them doesn't mean everything will be fine.
Weapons need maintenance, vehicles need fuel and upkeep, and guns need ammunition.
These expenses flow away like a trickle of water; they don't seem alarming at first, but over time, they become painful for anyone.
They all wanted to give up, because every shot fired meant one less bullet, and what they were firing wasn't bullets, it was money!
But they felt the power of guns and cannons was well worth it; compared to the soldiers' lives and compensation, it was far too cheap.
It's worth mentioning that Da Xia told them that there is now a new generation of plasma rifles and cannons that don't need bullets, only energy blocks.
Although plasma weapons are expensive, the cost of bullets is greatly reduced, and their power is greater, making them coveted by various races who want to buy them.
Unfortunately, the Great Xia's production capacity was limited, so they could only proceed slowly.
Getting back to the main point, what truly shrank the coffers of various ethnic groups was not military purchases.
It's trade!
Clothes, shoes, alcohol, seasonings, medicines, tools, lamps, and various daily necessities from Daxia were transported into Terra in truckloads.
Gold coins, gems, magical materials, and ores from various tribes of Terra also flowed into Great Xia in boxes.
Noblewomen could not resist the exquisite dresses, stockings, and cosmetics of Daxia.
The men couldn't resist the various drinks, everyday tools, and cool vehicles of Daxia; some even became addicted to cigarettes.
Ordinary people soon discovered that Daxia's pots and knives were easy to use, salt and sugar were cheap, canned goods could be stored for a long time, and the cloth was sturdy and comfortable.
Especially for light bulbs and home appliances, just one energy block is enough to last for half a year!
Oh my god, this is amazing!
Some people from various ethnic groups even began to worship the Great Xia civilization, believing that although the Great Xia people did not possess magic, they had minds blessed by the god of wisdom.
In short, almost every aspect of life, from clothing and food to housing and transportation, is permeated by Daxia products.
The Great Xia also purchases ores, magical items, fruits, and special crops from various races, but the total volume of trade is completely unequal.
The things from Great Xia have such high added value, what can these natives compare with?
People of all ethnicities spent their money on goods from the Great Xia, which reduced the income of local merchants and artisans. Merchants reduced their purchases, workshops reduced production, and naturally, the country's tax revenue also decreased.
This definitely won't work in the long run.
The leaders of all ethnic groups have already felt the pressure; their countries' wealth is flowing into Great Xia in a steady stream, being exchanged for all sorts of things.
But we can't do without these things, because they are just so useful.
Therefore, they had to cherish any opportunity to make money from Da Xia.
For example, the corpses of demons are a very good business.
This thing used to represent only death, pollution, and nightmares to the various tribes of Terra.
But in the hands of the Great Xia, it was actually turned from waste into treasure.
The demon corpses that were originally worthless can be sold to the Great Xia for gold coins. This is a business with no cost and huge profits!
Who wouldn't be envious?
Cough, except for dragons.
They genuinely have no interest in money.
One reason they are able to accumulate such vast wealth is that they are naturally drawn to shiny things. During their long lifespans, they collect a considerable amount of gold coins, jewelry, and rare and precious materials.
There were also always some reckless so-called warriors and knights who wanted to prove themselves, which annoyed the dragons so much that they eventually made it a rule that anyone who wanted to challenge them could offer a certain amount of wealth.
This measure was very effective, as there were far fewer challengers, since many people couldn't afford the tickets.
What? You can't even make money, and you want to challenge a dragon?
Go and confront life, kid.
........
The next day, the Holy Humans were the first to complete their preparations.
One hundred thousand soldiers, wearing purification brooches, entered the vicinity of the Blue Star equator through a newly opened portal, guided by the Great Xia.
The purification brooch was only the size of a thumb, and its pale white light clung to the soldier's chest like a thin film, purifying the nuclear radiation in the air.
The Holy Human general leading the group looked solemnly at the desolate and scorching sky of Blue Star.
The soldiers behind him couldn't help but look around.
The scorching heat made them somewhat uncomfortable, but since they were all warriors of level one or higher, it wasn't a big problem.
In the distance, Daxia's unmanned combat vehicles are neatly arranged, drones hover in the sky, and there are rows of modular supply boxes on the ground.
It was the first time they had truly stood in the world of Great Xia, and everything was so new and exciting.
Half a day later, the dwarf army arrived.
To everyone's surprise, the dwarves actually managed to create equipment with purifying properties using their own rune system.
Although its effect is not as refined as the Holy Human Purification Brooch, it is more durable and can be used simply by engraving it on the inside of the breastplate.
As 100,000 dwarven soldiers stepped out of the portal, their footsteps pounded on the ground.
The leading dwarf officer looked around and shouted:
"Is this the decaying aura of Earth?"
"Haha! If the magic of the Holy Humans can block it, so can our dwarven runes!"
The scorching heat of the summer was nothing to them.
Having spent years working in caves and furnaces, this temperature feels like home to them.
Upon hearing this, the Great Xia officer in exoskeleton armor who was in charge of the support smiled slightly and lowered his head to record on his terminal.
On the third day, the elf also completed his magical item.
Everyone here knows magic, so they wouldn't spend money to buy things from the Holy Humans.
Besides, they were all hastily made. By the time the equipment is purchased, Blue Star might not even have a chance to do anything.
