"besides" The blood-colored heart demon continued, "Lei Chenghu also forcibly incorporated a large number of original people and real people into his army, and used them purely as cannon fodder.
Only then did he gain precious breathing time, allowing him to collect a bunch of scattered troops and reorganize them. line of defense and gain sufficient mobility.
"On the other hand, he also clamored that everyone from soldiers to civilians should 'sacrifice one's life to serve the country,' and distributed 'Long Live Bombs' and various battlefield-specific stimulants to all people in the war zone.
He repeatedly brainwashed the people and instilled in the people that 'loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, and sacrifice for all.
'Thoughts."
Li Yao said: "What the hell is the Long Live Bullet?"
The bloody heart demon said: "It's a crude crystal bomb.
In the war zone he controls, almost all the people have one.
"Lei Chenghu asked the people to inject stimulant into their carotid arteries once the Holy Alliance army actually lands.
After receiving the instant enhanced stimulation, they would scream "Long live" and rush forward to kill the enemy with spar bombs.
At least, use these crystal bombs to commit suicide and leave yourself with the dignity of an imperial citizen.
"Of course, it is not unreasonable to do so.
After all, once the planet is occupied by the Holy Alliance and the people are captured by the Holy Alliance, they will be sent to some 'temple' to be brainwashed, deprived of their emotions and self-will, and turn them into mere Flesh-and-blood machines that know how to faithfully execute orders strengthen the power of the Holy Alliance.
"However, from the perspective of a cultivator, of course I feel that Lei Chenghu's approach is too cruel.
"In short, Lei Chenghu was the first to implement the 'scorched earth tactics' and implemented it most thoroughly.
Once he wants to evacuate a planet, he will never leave half a granary or crystal mine for the Holy Alliance.
As for the various priorities, Industrial facilities were blown up completely.
"As for the people, he will use iron-blooded means to organize the people to evacuate with the fleet with the highest efficiency, preserving the vitality to the maximum extent.
However, he never cares about the life and death of those people who are really unable to evacuate, and even openly encourages them to die for the sake of The empire should lighten its burden, lest it 'work for the tiger' and become cannon fodder for the enemy.
"Lei Chenghu's many ruthless and even crazy tactics have been criticized even within the empire, especially those nobles who forcibly confiscated all their property and were even forced to become cannon fodder and sent to the front line by him, as well as all the interests involved.
The group later launched a frantic attack on him.
"However, after a series of impeccable victories, these frustrated guys had to admit that Lei Chenghu's approach was completely in line with the path of cultivating immortals, and at that time, if he did not do this, the Holy Alliance army would most likely take advantage of the victory to pursue him. , rush into the hinterland of the empire, and it will be all over!
"Anyway...if there is a 'textbook true cultivator', it is Lei Chenghu.
He seems to regard everyone, including himself, as pawns and as a sword to defend the empire.
"I quite admire such a man with such a character, but as a cultivator, are you really sure you want to rescue such a die-hard cultivator?"
Li Yao thought deeply for a long time.
In fact, he didn't need to talk about the bloody inner demon, he could vaguely think of a guy who was worshiped as an imperial army general, named Liao Haihou, commanded the most elite deep space fleet and an entire war zone.
How could he be a good person?
but…… "I feel that our main consideration now is not even the issue of whether the reformists can seize the supreme power of the empire."
Li Yao said carefully while thinking about it, "The delicate situation within the empire is only one aspect, and the Holy Alliance is another aspect that is equally important.
Those guys from the Holy Alliance are just puppets, not dead people.
Can they really throw away dozens of people in one go?"
Is the entire world indifferent and stupidly watching the empire digest the fruits of victory and complete its internal integration?
"When we were still in the Federation, we had an in-depth discussion on this issue with the Black Wind Fleet's deputy commander Di Feiwen.
From the perspective of a 'bystander,' Di Feiwen also felt that the glorious victory of the 'Empire Strikes Back' came too easily.
So strange.
"And after swallowing dozens of worlds in one breath, the phenomenon of 'uneven distribution of the spoils and indigestion' will definitely occur, and that is an opportunity for the Holy Alliance to take advantage of!
"So, although I don't know why the Holy Alliance went crazy and made such a huge bet with dozens of worlds as bets, I believe that the Holy Alliance must have a conspiracy!
"Looking back at the current empire, according to Li Linghai's words, it was the last years of the dynasty, full of evils, and all kinds of contradictions were extremely acute.
"There are conflicts between the small and medium-sized nobles and the four electorate families, there are conflicts between the emerging warlords in the outer star field and the old dignitaries in the central star field, there are conflicts between real people and the original people, there are conflicts between low-level immortal cultivators and high-level immortal cultivators, and there are conflicts between the expeditionary force and the elders.
The hospital is even more contradictory.
"Even if Li Linghai himself wants to use the corpses of the four elector families to eliminate all conflicts, does he still have hidden ambitions that will arouse greater conflicts?
Who knows!
"What if, when all kinds of conflicts in the empire break out, the Holy Alliance seizes the opportunity to kill a 'returner'?"
The bloody inner demon was silent for a long time and said: "If the Holy Alliance really wants to seize the precious opportunity when all conflicts break out, then they must know the internal situation of the empire well."

"It's not impossible.
Do you still remember the Holy Alliance puppet 'Tang Qianhe' we met in the Kunlun ruins more than a hundred years ago?"
Li Yao said, "Tang Qianhe is obviously a Holy Alliance spy, but he can perfectly simulate the emotions of normal people, and even infiltrated into Su Changfa's inspection team without anyone noticing.
"Su Changfa also told us later that the Holy Alliance's exploration of 'simulated emotion' technology far surpassed the 'spiritual chart testing technology' used by the empire to defend against Holy Alliance infiltration.
I don't know how many secret spies have been planted within the empire.
Many secrets Spies are so-called "silent ones" who will never reveal their identities unless they encounter unexpected situations.
"Let's just talk about Tang Qianhe, the Holy Alliance spy.
She only broke her disguise after discovering a living Pangu clan member.
"Think about it, if we hadn't discovered the living Pangu tribe at that time, would it be possible for Tang Qianhe to follow Su Changfa and Kou Ruhuo and infiltrate into the federation?
"The Empire and the Holy Alliance have been engaged in a thousand-year war.
There are countless Holy Alliance spies lurking within the empire, and they are constantly sending intelligence back to the Holy Alliance.
It's normal!
"But on the other hand, if the imperial spies want to lurk inside the Holy Alliance, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
It's really difficult to simulate the appearance of completely erasing emotions and free will!"
The bloody heart demon said: "When you say that, I also think of 'Tang Qianhe'.
That woman was so crazy that she turned herself into pure energy to awaken the Pangu clan.
It's really scary.
"If even a small expedition team can hide the secret spies of the Holy Alliance, then there are even more secret spies that may be hidden in various key departments of the empire.
It is indeed possible to accurately grasp and even secretly control the empire's secrets.
Certain conflicts intensified and broke out.”
"so" Li Yaodao said, "The thousand-year balance of power is not so easy to break, and the so-called 'glorious victory of the Empire's Counterattack' will be greatly compromised.
Even if the Imperial Army is truly unstoppable and invincible on the front line, their rear is more dangerous and more vulnerable.
“If you’re not careful, the Holy Alliance will fight back, and the empire, which is in the middle of internal strife, will collapse completely!
"Once the empire collapses, there will be two consequences.
"First, everyone living in the hundreds of worlds within the empire, regardless of whether they are immortal cultivators or ordinary people, will all be involved in the endless flames of war and fall into a situation a hundred times more miserable than now.
They will not be brainwashed into flesh and blood puppets.
Just like their homes were destroyed together.
"Although I hate to admit it, no matter how evil the true human empire is, it has maintained the unity and general peace of the densely populated world in the center of the star sea in the past thousand years.
"It is better to be a Taiping Bridge than to cause trouble and leave people.
It is difficult for me to imagine what kind of terrifying sea of blood will be set off once the thousand-year-old empire collapses.
“Second, once the empire collapses and the Holy Alliance takes over most of its power, it will really expand into a behemoth that swallows the universe, and the Starry Star Federation will have to face the pressure of this giant beast alone.
"The Black Wind Fleet still maintains minimal contact with the Empire.
The existence of the Federation is destined to be hidden for a long time.
It will take one or two hundred years at most to complete the engulfment and integration of the Empire.
The Holy Alliance will definitely extend its claws to the Federation.
"One or two hundred years is enough for the Federation to do anything.
Should it follow the example of the Star Sea Republic in the past and build a big ship to escape?
"Once the Empire and the Federation collapse, and the Holy Alliance cultivates and awakens a large number of Pangu people, will there be hope for human civilization to exist?
Will it be completely abandoned by the Pangu people like a tool that has completed its mission?
"So, whether you look at it from the perspective of the hundreds of millions of ordinary people in the center of the Star Sea, or from the perspective of the national interests of the Star Star Federation, or even from the perspective of the entire human civilization, maintaining a stable empire and acting as a bridge between the Federation and the Holy Alliance "The Great Firewall" and continue to promote the situation of "two tigers fighting and stalemate" are the best.
"Looking at the entire empire, if there is anyone who can definitely withstand the Holy Alliance's deadly attack, it is the 'God of War' Lei Chenghu.
"What's more, now that the four Electoral Prince families have Lei Chenghu under house arrest, they may not necessarily kill him.
It is more likely that the two parties will reach some agreement, or Lei Chenghu will escape the siege in other ways.
In short, we can't interfere with him at all. .
"Work with Li Linghai to rescue Lei Chenghu and place him in the 'revolutionary' camp.

We can also observe and interfere with him at close range.
In the most extreme case, there is still a chance to kill him.
I heard that he is a veteran."
He is a powerful man, but after all, he is a fleet commander, a theater commander, and a high-ranking official.
He is good at large-scale combat and the art of commanding.
If it comes to fighting, there is no reason to be better than us, right?
" "That makes sense.
Your mind is getting clearer."
The bloody inner demon pondered for a moment, then suddenly screamed, "Be careful!"
