1116: Public opinion guidance
“At this speed, when will these people reach Electric Light City?”
“About two days.” Li Man clearly understood this.
“Two days.” Li Changkong nodded: “Tell the people expanding the territory to work harder, and the rescue effort at Western Main City also needs to be accelerated.”
Rescuing the people of Western Main City indeed had many hidden dangers and drawbacks, but at the moment, it had an irreplaceable advantage.
Population!
As long as it was used properly, a group of troops to resist the enemy could be gained from it!
“Okay!” After nodding, Li Man quickly left.
When he first learned that the large Army was approaching, he was completely flustered, but after seeing the existence that was so calm in the face of danger, his mood also eased a lot.
Seeing the other party leave, Li Changkong lowered his head and looked at a Medal on his chest.
[Level 2 Superior Medal]
The effect of the Medal was quite effective. Before, when he gave orders, everyone would listen carefully and do them seriously.
But it was often accompanied by some questions and worries.
After wearing the Medal, this kind of thing became less and less frequent.
Rubbing his forehead, Li Changkong also felt some pressure.
With such a large Army approaching, Li Village could only brace itself and confront the enemy head-on.
After all, the surroundings were all the pitch-black Darkness, and coupled with the fact that the territory underfoot had already been reported to the System and the rewards claimed, retreating was even more impossible.
The best method at present was to stall.
As long as the enemy was dragged into a war of attrition, in the Black World, facing the double difficulties of Darkness monsters and heavy snow, the enemy would definitely not be able to hold out for long!
With the strength and resources Li Changkong currently possessed, dragging those people into a protracted battle was actually not difficult to manage.
However, if the System had better rewards later, that would be the optimal solution.
As his thoughts raced, Li Changkong suddenly noticed that the surrounding light had dimmed.
He turned his head to look.
It turned out that the Medal Tree, which had been undergoing reinforcement and upgrading, had already completed its reinforcement during this time.
He looked up.
The current Medal Tree was not as tall as before as a whole.
However, it was even more lush with branches and leaves.
It looked like an ancient tree that had experienced the accumulation of years!
[Level 2 Medal Tree]
Description: After reinforcement, the Medal Tree has gained a fruit direction - Electromagnetic Rifle.
The Host can choose a certain period of time for the direction of fruiting.
If no choice is made, the Medal Tree will fruit on its own.
“Another fruit? Electromagnetic Rifle?” Hearing this reward from the System, Li Changkong subconsciously thought of the equipment on the Man Bull Legion.
If he remembered correctly, the high-damage weapons equipped on the Man Bull Legion were this kind!
This thing could now grow on the Medal Tree?!
With a bit of surprise and delight, Li Changkong immediately saw a gun hanging on a branch of the tree in front of him.
Picking the gun from the tree, Li Changkong fiddled with it in his hand for a while: “It really is the offensive weapon held by the Man Bull Legion!”
Aiming the muzzle at a large open area covered in snow in the distance, A Man pulled the trigger.
“Buzz~”
A brilliant blue light burst out instantly.
Because the bullet was condensed from electric energy, there was no recoil from gunpowder after the bullet was fired!
“Zizi zizi~”
After the electric energy bullet landed, it exploded like a bomb in an instant!
A scorched area melted out of the entire snowy ground!
“Just pulling the trigger can unleash such a powerful attack comparable to a primary Magician.” Li Changkong could roughly judge the power of the weapon in his hand.
“What if this thing was equipped to the Army below?”
For a moment, Li Changkong's mind became active.
And the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed!
Perhaps, facing the large Army from Vog Country this time, they wouldn't need to fight a protracted battle at all!
While thinking, Li Changkong looked at the big tree next to him.
After operating it, he temporarily stopped the production of Medals and switched to full production of Electromagnetic Rifles!
“Li Dian, connect a few more electric wires!”
...
After one day and one night.
With everyone working together and united in their rescue efforts, the power facilities were finally advanced to the area where Western Main City was located!
A continuous supply of power was transmitted through the cables from the rear.
In Western Main City, large areas of basic power facilities began to spread out.
Under the cover of dazzling electric light, during the process of dispelling the Darkness, the crowded people could finally gradually disperse and breathe fresh air!
A relaxed atmosphere began to replace the heavy one.
People stood on the streets, looking at the streetlights above their heads that helped them dispel the Darkness, and thinking of City Lord Li Changkong who brought all of this, their hearts were filled with gratitude.
And in this mood, a piece of news suddenly surged to the top spot on the telephone news hot search!
top1: [Vog Country's large Army is approaching, Electric Light City urgently needs troops!]
After this news entry appeared, everyone who opened their telephone could not ignore it and not click on it.
“Everyone please note, Electric Light City is now in an unprecedented crisis!”
“Vog Country has integrated its large Army, carrying the slogan of destroying the rebels, and is coming to flatten our Electric Light City!”
“City Lord Li Changkong talked with the enemy for a day and a night, but was ultimately insulted and returned!”
“The enemy said we killed City Lord Maurice! Under the guise of justice, they are coming to destroy us!”
“As everyone knows, City Lord Maurice died of anger, those enemies are completely a bunch of scoundrels full of lies!”
“They are using the banner of justice because they want us to hand over the power technology, and even handing over the technology is not enough, they also want to Destroy kill all of us, they say we are traitors!”
“They were the ones who abandoned us, and now they don't even leave us the last bit of a way to live!”
“City Lord Li Changkong said, the Marquis of Western Main City abandoned us, the Royal Family sees us as traitors, and now they even want to deprive us of the right to live in Darkness, then fight! Have a good fight with them!”
“Recruitment registration office: Electric Light City Army camp.”
Large chunks of text information that caused huge emotional fluctuations, as well as some accompanying images, when combined, made everyone look indignant and full of rage!
It turned out that Vog Country was actually going to send troops to destroy Electric Light City at this time!
When the comment section was opened, the noisy comment section was full of anger directed at Vog Country!
“Those scoundrels from Vog Country, they were the ones who abandoned us first! Now that we are surviving in Darkness, they don't even give us a chance, they are simply a bunch of beasts!”
“I have already applied to become A Soldier, I am a survivor from Western Main City, it's one thing that these guys abandoned us, but they even dared to attack us, I must make them pay the price!”
“It's good that these guys are coming! The suffering I endured in Western Main City these days, I will make them repay a hundredfold after I become A Soldier!”
Statements filled the internet.
A large number of emotional people began to rush to the registration area.
At this time, the population base of Western Main City and Li Changkong's previous rescue actions were well reflected.
In just a short half-day, from the survivors of Western Main City alone, a total of more than 200,000 young and strong Soldiers were recruited!
