Fang Dashan followed Lin Wen and cleaned up the battlefield, picking up a lot of great bargains.

For the barren military of Changshan County, this was a very powerful supplement. It's worth noting that the arsenal of the garrison in Changshan County had nothing but rifles and vehicles.

There were no cannons, no grenades, no bulletproof vests, no helmets, no tactical goggles, and certainly no planes or tanks.

The establishment of the Changshan County Navy by Sheriff Lin was even more ridiculous, as there were only four lifeboats in total.

It was unclear what the significance was of Sheriff Lin forcing the position of the commander of the Changshan County Navy on his head.

This time, while cleaning up the battlefield, Fang Dashan found a lot of heavy 30mm caliber machine guns, which could be installed on off-road vehicles or trucks, turning an ordinary vehicle into an instant combat vehicle.

There were also huge caliber mortars, which, due to their large caliber, were inconvenient to use and had been replaced by mortars.

However, they could be installed on fixed defensive structures, such as various checkpoints, fortresses, and artillery towers.

This way, Changshan County had a strong deterrent capability against external bandits.

In addition, there were special rocket launchers, giant pistols, tactical helmets, and so on, all of which were good things and were basically well-preserved.

This wave was too fat!

Fang Dashan laughed and smiled as he moved things, thinking about how to get Sheriff Lin to allocate more military expenses to arm the troops.

Changshan County.

Since Lin Wen was not present, the county government spontaneously formed a nine-person deliberative body.

The deliberative body included Zhao Minggong, Yang Shaohu, Qin Luoshuang, Xia Xiaoxiang, Huang Mingxiao, Lei Tiantong, Xiao Xiao, Old Xie, and a representative from the Propaganda Department.

Qin Luoshuang conveyed Lin Wen's words at the meeting, and no one opposed it, except for Zhao Minggong, who expressed concern.

"The current situation in Changshan County is very unhealthy. A minority of industries support the majority of profits. I originally planned to recruit on a large scale after the completion of the first phase of major development."

"But Sheriff Lin's pace is too fast, resulting in many hidden dangers in Changshan County. The industrial structure is deformed, with 80% of businesses concentrated in catering. We must adjust and improve the structure as soon as possible."

The ability of Wolong was evident to all, and he was the most influential person in the room, second only to Sheriff Lin.

Everyone expressed their agreement, and after some discussion, it was decided that the recruitment action would not be carried out publicly, but only selected on a small scale.

When the Director of the Development and Reform Commission, Xiao Xiao, improved the business environment and straightened out the production relations, then a large-scale recruitment would be carried out.

Afterwards, the group discussed many internal county affairs. When they encountered matters they couldn't decide on, they voted by a show of hands, with the minority obeying the majority.

The atmosphere of the meeting was very harmonious, with everyone discussing matters objectively, without involving personal grievances, power struggles, or personnel conflicts.

Now, Changshan County had a population of over 4 million, and although the economic output value was still at the bottom, it was developing rapidly.

So, the accumulated affairs were very numerous every day, and there was no shortage of important matters affecting the overall development of Changshan County.

This made such meetings a daily occurrence.

However, due to Old Xie and the representative of the Propaganda Department making several very misleading remarks, they were stripped of their voting rights and were only allowed to attend the meetings without the right to vote.

This made the two of them very unhappy, and they decided to report to Sheriff Lin when he returned.

After the meeting, everyone bid farewell to Wolong and hurriedly left.

Now everyone had a large number of subordinates, and they were all busy assigning tasks, arranging work, and managing internal affairs. Even Qin Luoshuang and Xia Xiaoxiang, the two good sisters, didn't have time to say hello.

Zhao Minggong wasn't even the busiest person anymore; the busiest person was Xiao Xiao.

In addition to his main job at the Development and Reform Commission, he also took on the work of the Urban Management, a part of the police, the Bureau of Commerce, the Urban Planning Bureau, Environmental Protection, and the Taxation Department.

He wished there were 24 hours in a day, as the work was still piling up.

Moreover, he was a competitive person, and for the sake of a goddess saying, "I think you're good, work hard," he had vowed not to marry the goddess until the economy of Changshan County soared and surpassed other regions.

It was for this reason that he was the most ardent supporter of the refugee plan.

"Hurry up and recruit! 2 million people are not enough to satisfy my restless desires!"

This became his most frequently spoken catchphrase.

Wolong watched them leave, and a relieved smile appeared on his aged face.

"It's great to have you all here."

The situation in Zhongzhou had deteriorated into a mess.

Wang Bo'an had never thought that the war would turn out like this.

The coalition forces of the Zhongzhou government had experienced defeat, victory, and then defeat again. After realizing that there might be spies within, Wang Bo'an consciously controlled the scope of the battle information.After several victories, there were immediately multiple rebellions in the army.

The enemy bypassed his central attack and conquered several important towns in the west, leaving Wang Bo'an's rear gate wide open.

Wang Bo'an had no choice but to abandon the established strategy. Part of the troops quickly returned to reinforce, while the other part fiercely attacked the enemy's important supply lines.

The two sides fought a fierce battle. Zhongzhou is the largest state in the empire, covering an area of 800,000 square kilometers, and the defensive areas of both sides were very large.

Wang Bo'an dispersed part of the reinforcements to various towns in the rear to deal with the endless attacks.

He personally led the elite main force to launch a fierce attack on the enemy's occupied strongholds in the western region.

But the advantage of the defending side was significant, and the battle remained deadlocked without any progress.

Wang Bo'an was extremely anxious, and news of civilians being attacked and slaughtered in the rear kept coming. The enemy even invaded Qingcheng, the last line of defense, and slaughtered the refugees waiting to be resettled in Changshan County.

With insufficient troops and no strategy to use, if he gave up the siege, the enemy would only intensify their attacks, making it even more difficult to cope with.

He could only intensify the attack and hope to capture the stronghold as soon as possible.

At the border between Zhongzhou and Luozhou.

Lin Wen jumped out and looked around for a while, but found nothing except a mouthful of sand.

Lin Wen scratched his head, and suddenly had a thought, so he activated the "Observing Qi and People" technique.

In an instant, Lin Wen saw clusters of black energy in the sky to the southwest.

Wow, I can observe the energy from a thousand miles away.

Lin Wen was overjoyed. Except for the "Qi Prohibition Divine Power" that had ended, the other spells on his body had not been dispelled.

In addition to the spells that were still ongoing, such as "Strength of Nine Oxen and Two Tigers," "Agility of the Spirit Cat," and "Divine Art of Movement," there were also many stored spells such as "Eye of a Thousand Miles" and "Divine Ear Technique."

His primordial spirit had just recovered.

It could be said that he was in perfect condition.

Shouldn't I take advantage of this rare opportunity to make a big profit?

Lin Wen laughed wildly.

I'm here for good fortune!

He dashed off.

The "Divine Art of Movement" provided a speed boost of 200 yards, but if he also used "Strength of Nine Oxen and Two Tigers" and "Agility of the Spirit Cat" at the same time, his speed could be further increased.

Therefore, in just a moment, Lin Wen arrived at the first black spot.

It was a small town on barren soil.

There were obvious signs of battle outside the town, with about thirty imperial soldiers lying in a pool of blood.

The air was filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder, and smoke was rising from the town, with faint cries heard.

Lin Wen quickly rushed into the town and as soon as he entered, he saw a disgusting scene: a pregnant woman had been cut open, and the baby was picked out, with blood flowing all over the ground and the umbilical cord wrapped around the mother's neck. The small baby lay nearby, covered in bruises.

Lin Wen's smile disappeared.

With a glance, he saw a soldier in brown military uniform coming out of the house, holding a long necklace in his hand and carrying a large bundle on his shoulder.

As soon as he saw Lin Wen, he immediately dropped the bundle and cursed, "You dog." Then he said in the imperial language, "You mongrel!"

In Lin Wen's eyes, the person turned into two overlapping shadows, one dropping the bundle with normal movements, and the other moving at ten times the speed, quickly dropping the bundle, cursing at him, and then raising the gun to shoot at him.

The accelerated shadow repeated this sequence of actions until the normal shadow raised the gun to shoot.

"Without a Colorful Phoenix" had reminded him of the shooting point ten seconds before he shot.

Lin Wen crouched down, took a step, and with the agility of the spirit cat, he exerted every ounce of muscle strength and the power of the spells to perfection, displaying his nearly 200-ton punching force, hitting the demon's head squarely.

With a loud bang.

It was like a watermelon bursting, and blood splattered everywhere as the headless body fell backward, but Lin Wen had already disappeared.

He leaped onto a two-story tavern in front of him, and with one punch, he smashed the head of a soldier who had just poked his head out of the window.

The soldier's gun was still on his back, and he had only wanted to peek outside upon hearing the cursing, but he ended up as a headless body sliding down the window, falling next to the body of a middle-aged woman.

The gushing blood soaked the woman's white dress, as if repaying her for her sins.

Lin Wen jumped down from the second floor, and with a backhand punch, he killed a soldier who had rushed out of a shop from behind. His head exploded into a shower of blood, and the body, carried by the momentum, fell to the ground.

Lin Wen didn't even spare him a glance, and without turning his head at all, he charged forward and used a series of punches to kill three soldiers who had come out from the street corner.With a slight pause underfoot, Lin Wen soared into the air, delivering a flying kick that burst a soldier attempting to snipe him from the third floor.

Twisting mid-air, Lin Wen kicked off the balcony, shattering the intricately carved white jade railing, his figure shooting out like a cannonball and crashing into a barbecue stand with a thunderous bang.

A soldier was struck dead by his forceful impact. Lin Wen extended his left hand flatly, pinching backwards with his right hand to grab a steel skewer. With a forceful squeeze of his fingers, the skewer shot out like lightning, piercing through a squad of five rushing around the street corner.

Releasing his left hand, Lin Wen watched as the body with half a head crushed fell to the ground.

Glancing around, there was no more dark aura in this half of the town.

However, in the other half, the dark aura still soared to the sky, and crimes were still being committed.

Lin Wen snatched up a rifle with his backhand and charged forward, firing into the sky while shouting repeatedly, "Damn mongrels! Damn bastards!"

After several shouts, countless figures emerged from houses and streets, rushing towards him, shooting at him, only to be blown apart by his gunfire.

A rain of blood fell from the sky as Lin Wen stood on the main street, surrounded by headless corpses.

He found the last survivor in the town.

A seven-year-old boy, his throat slashed open revealing the white trachea, still clinging to life, coughing up blood. He looked at Lin Wen with pleading eyes.

Lin Wen knelt down to embrace him, and with his blood, the boy wrote two words on Lin Wen's palm.

"Thank you."

But.

The fully alerted "No colorful phoenix in body," having been strengthened by the power of salvation, had already indicated the way to gain or lose this good karma.

Lin Wen placed his palm on the boy's throat.

He used two spells.

"Water of Heaven Healing Spell"

"Rejuvenation Spell"

Pure good karma casting.

Good Karma -33.

The state of his Daoist magic remained at its peak.

Saving a life, Good Karma +1

Heh.

His thoughts were clear and connected.
