"I believe Clan Leader Wei doesn't need to die, it's enough with one dead Patriarch Wei."
"No, no, no, Clan Leader Wei must die. How do you know whether those people in Sheepback City aren't hesitant and cowardly? What if they decide the risk is too big and hold back?"
"Seconded, the more gruesome Clan Leader Wei's death, the better. I suggest five-snake dismemberment!"
"Wouldn't being bitten through the neck by a giant monster, with blood splattering everywhere, and the head being swung like a hammer in hand be more impactful?"
In the command center, looking at the rabbits passionately discussing his "manner of death", Wei Fan's expression became subtly complex.
According to what Yang Hengjun previously said, ever since Sheepback City was founded, countless atrocities have been committed, sins that are unforgivable.
Especially after the iron mine was discovered in recent years, the number of vagrants dying in the mines annually exceeds four figures!
In front of the Mo Family of Sheepback City, Paradox players are as kind-hearted as little white flowers, each able to receive awards for friendliness and harmony.
The level of wickedness could probably only be compared to Sun Xiaochuan.
Although the local laws are currently not applicable to the Damo Realm for various reasons.
But the meaning of this inapplicability is that the rabbits haven't had the necessity to act as the Damo Realm police in charge of everything.
Now, it is Sheepback City's Mo Family actively targeting Chixian City, and according to Chixian City's public combat strength, there's almost no ability to resist.
At most, there's the hope to take one or two cultivators down with them before dying.
If Chixian City is consumed by them, the fate of ordinary members of Wei Mansion is entirely predictable.
In such circumstances, the rabbits stepping in to vent for the aged Patriarch Wei, with his vast family, is entirely reasonable and justified.
Not to mention the mine in Sheepback City!
It's a red iron mine!
Don't look at how iron mines are plentiful locally; any small town could have a steel plant or a private iron mine.
In reality, iron or steel is precisely the critical component currently restraining the rabbits' development.
Whether locally or in the Damo Realm.
Because steel is incredibly consumed.
Do you know the total amount of steel consumed annually in Huaxia?
981 million tons!
Half of the world's annual steel production is utilized by the rabbits.
The proportion used in construction is as high as 60%.
Of course.
No matter how high the iron reserves in Sheepback City are, it couldn't achieve feeding the local mines from one mine.
But it has immense assistance for the development of the Damo Realm.
Because the load capacity of the light gate is limited, and steel is a high-consumption commodity.
For example, the expansion of all Chixian City and the construction projects in the subordinate villages require no less than a million tons of steel to take full shape.
Even if you vacate all the light gate transportation capacity, don't transport coal and grain to the Damo Realm, or return L17 spiritual energy locally—whether this approach is realistic or not—this method would still require half a year to transport enough.
So, relying on local support for these basic materials in the short term is completely feasible, but if you want long-term sustainable growth...
Then you must find iron mines in the Damo Realm and have the ability for self-production!
Which means to increase sources while reducing expenses.
Also, not all iron mines are the same.
Iron mines can be categorized into red iron mines, brown iron mines, siderite, etc., among which the highest iron yield is the red iron mine.
The reason why the local kangaroo was so arrogant back then is exactly because the rabbits were heavily dependent on the kangaroo's red iron mine, with an annual port proportion of nearly 70%.
In fact, this did indeed exploit a soft spot in the rabbits, and the current backup countries, whether Samba Kingdom, Norse Bear, or Guinea, have some differences compared to the kangaroo.
Otherwise, the rabbits' fists would have been thrown long ago, rather than hesitating as they do now.
But now, with the discovery of the Damo Realm, perhaps some variables will arise...
However, discussions about future affairs bear no relevance at this moment. In conclusion, red iron ore is indeed a high-quality ore.
According to Yang Hengjun's previous identification, the Mo Family possesses this red iron ore.
Red iron ore can be divided into undiscovered iron mines and those currently being developed by others.
Unlike locally, iron mines are actually not easy to find in the Damo Realm.
Because the Tri Star system naturally determines that external forces act relatively weakly on the Damo Realm, thereby corresponding to a reduction in the Realm's internal effects.
And internal effects are conducive to the formation of metamorphic iron ore beds.
Of course, planetary substance isn't currently within the discussion range, as iron elements and iron mines are two concepts, not to mention this involves the concept of stellar evolution, since iron is the endpoint of nuclear fusion within a star. (Cannot help but mention, clever classmates who know might already guess some information about the Damo Realm)
In all, the resources of the Damo Realm exhibit typical low metal resources, with geographical abundance and distinct hierarchies.
For instance, Lei Wenjun's team previously discovered a coal mine but couldn't find any associated metal resources with the coal mine—this is an abnormal situation, as coal due to its special geological layers often has some associated resources nearby.
Furthermore, speaking hypothetically, even if you find an undeveloped iron mine, even if it's an open-pit type, mining is still extremely complicated.
A large-scale mining operation from pinpointing the working face to officially deploying excavators often takes half a year to a year, which is entirely normal.
Like the coal mine over there, two months have passed since its discovery, and they've only just started exploratory drilling on the working face.
And time is what rabbits cannot afford to lose the most now.
Now knowing there's an unlow-red iron mine that's developed to near perfection and is inviting you on its own...
How does that saying go, what's others' is always the best.
Everyone curses Cao thief, everyone is Cao thief.jpg.
Did you not see the slobber almost drooling from the lips of the officials in the command center?
Never mind what the Mo Family has done to the civilian class, they are practically guaranteed villain characters, isn't it?
Therefore, rabbits face no pressure in dealing with the Mo Family.
Of course.
From a moral standpoint, it would be ideal if this group of wicked types voluntarily stepped up to offer their necks.
After all, the rabbits never initiate attacks, but rather engage in legitimate self-defense.
About defending, defending until your home... this is what you call one-time labor for long-standing peace, understand?
And to lure the cultivators of the Mo Family into the trap, naturally, it involves the existing combat strength of Chixian City.
It's all about the word risk.
If the Purple-robed Elder of Wei Mansion falls during the beast tide, even if Chixian City possesses other mineral veins, whether it's indeed a spirit stone mine, Sheepback City might not take action—or at least not come brainlessly short-term.
Considering the harsh laws of the Damo Realm, if the Mo Family suffers combat losses against Wei Mansion, the next target could be Sheepback City.
But if there's sufficient strong evidence showing heavy losses of high-ranking cultivators within Wei Mansion, and there's now only one combatant left in the city...
Then, given the Mo Family's bandit-like nature, they definitely won't let go of this piece of fat meat.
After all, the forebears of the Mo Family lived off such practices, and this nature is inherited within their bloodline, tainting their hearts.
All in all.
Upon confirming the Mo Family had red iron ore, Lin Li immediately requested Lin Ziming to return to the homeland, and shortly after, Lin Ziming returned with new orders from the core layer.
The core instruction was as expected by the command center:
If Heaven gives, one must take, or otherwise suffer the consequences.
This led to the previous discussion in the command center.
"Ahem."
Seeing the command center's wild imaginations veering to the skies with all sorts of crazy thoughts flying around, Lin Li hastily coughed lightly.
Simultaneously, he tapped the head of the rebel passionately promoting Lordaeron's filial piety theme to Wei Fan, with his ballpoint pen.
Then curled his index finger to tap on the table, trying to control the slightly chaotic scene:
"Alright, everyone, let's implement our first-round plan, aiming to get results within a day, and then let Yang Hengjun pass the intelligence to the two outside cities to take back to Sheepback City."
Next, he turned to Lin Ziming and said:
"Colonel Lin, this time the specific combat task is assigned to the external combat department. Please prepare a combat plan with Long Brigade Commander for me.
Our opponent this time is not strong, but the cultivators have more hidden cards than beasts. It's possible they might have third-tier Sword Qi Talismans or something, so it's best we use long-distance tactics to prevent some unexpected combat losses."
Lin Li's speculation is theoretically feasible, especially with how the Mo Family, an utterly oppressive family, sure has some special trump cards in hand.
Therefore, Lin Ziming dared not be negligent and solemnly accepted the task.
Then Lin Li turned again to Wei Fan:
"Clan Leader Wei, may I trouble you to notify the old Patriarch that he will have to die... Oh yes, he is quite elderly, so remember to convey the death notice to him gently."
Wei Fan: "....."
