Chapter 652 The war is about to start (4/10 ask for a monthly pass)
After ten days, Lin Ze returned to Hangu Pass again.
In order to complete the play, the first place Lin Ze went to was Modolf's courtyard.
Seeing Lin Ze walk in, Mo Daofu had a genuine expression.
"Compared with my patience, you are far behind. It has only been ten days and you can't help but show up again."
This is what Modolf thought.
Looking at his expression, Lin Ze guessed what he was thinking, and said with surprise: "You haven't left yet. In fact, I planned to let you go from the beginning."
"I won't be fooled," Mo Daofu snorted in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said, "Isn't the one-month period here yet? Don't worry, haha."
"Then do you want to go back?" Lin Ze Youran said.
Mo Daofu's expression was a little solemn, and he was a little unsure whether Lin Ze really planned to let him go, or was he deliberately testing him?
"Think~"
Mo Daofu deliberately prolonged his voice to test Lin Ze's reaction.
When he saw Lin Ze's expression change, he immediately closed his mouth.
Lin Ze frowned and said, "Just think about it, why are you talking so weirdly?"
Mo Daofu could only say sincerely: "Your Excellency taught you a very good lesson."
Lin Ze was very satisfied with Mo Daofu's attitude, and became even more reluctant to kill him.
Lin Ze had two attitudes toward Modolf at first: continue to enslave him, or kill him.
But if you want to enslave Mo Daofu, you have to be watched by a famous grandmaster-level warrior. Even if you exchange them for one, you feel a bit of a loss.
You must always be on guard against Moldoff's betrayal.
If Lin Ze hadn't broken through to the Soul Realm, he could have taken him with him, which was equivalent to bringing an assistant. He could use magic at critical moments to catch the enemy off guard.
Lin Ze, who had broken through to the Soul Realm, had his combat power increased many times compared to before. Modolf's value instantly dropped to the extreme.
But it would be a pity to kill him directly. After all, he is a rare master-level warrior in the world.
It's a pity to throw it away and tasteless to eat.
Lin Ze never thought about letting Mo Daofu go away from the beginning. Letting the tiger return to the mountain was completely out of Lin Ze's consideration.
But today, Lin Ze changed his mind.
"I can let you go now, but there is a small condition," Lin Ze said, staring at Mo Daofu's face.
Modoofu lowered his head naturally and said with a complicated expression: "Please give me your instructions."
"When you return to Byzantium, use all your connections to collect magic stones for me. The more the better, and I will bear all the expenses."
Mo Daofu looked up at Lin Ze with a look of astonishment on his face. This condition was too generous.
It's more of a transaction than a condition.
What Mo Daofu didn't know was that the fundamental reason that prompted Lin Ze to change his mind was that the magic stone was still effective in cultivating the Soul Realm.
Even if one magic stone does not increase the soul by much, just a little bit, the accumulation of thousands of magic stones is enough to make Lin Ze's heart beat.
Due to his limited status, Mo Daofu's disciples could only collect more than 10,000 magic stones.
Lin Ze didn't expect them either.
But Modolf was different. A master-level expert was also among the top figures in the Byzantine Empire.
If even Modolf can't get the magic stone, it only means that Byzantium's magic stone mines have all been exhausted.
Instead of forcing Modolf to stay by his side, it is better to let him go and exchange him for something beneficial to himself.
Hence the scene today.
Seeing that Mo Daofu was silent for a long time, Lin Ze frowned and asked, "What? Are you not happy?"
Mo Dao bowed deeply to Lin Ze and praised, "Your mind and integrity are admirable. I am willing to do my best to collect magic stones for you and deliver them to you."
With a thought in Lin Ze's mind, two waves of Grandmaster's power rushed out of Mo Daofu's body, spun around twice in the air, and finally returned to Lin Ze's body.
"The restriction has been lifted. You can pack your things and leave at any time."
Modolf bowed to Lin Ze again, walked into the bedroom where he lived, and began to pack his things.
…
Half a day later, Modoofu left Hangu Pass with his baggage. Even though he was a hundred miles away, he still felt a little unreal.
From the day he was captured by Lin Ze, Mo Daofu had been psychologically prepared for his subsequent tragic experience.
Although Lin Ze had promised to let him go after receiving the ransom, Mo Daofu didn't believe it in his heart.
I have been a "prisoner" for more than half a year. Breathing the free air is so intoxicating.
After sighing for a while, Modoofu took out the note Lin Ze left for him and read it carefully.
It records how to contact the other party to trade after he collects enough magic stones.
After confirming that all the above contents were written down, Modolf carefully took it into his arms, accelerated his speed, and flew towards the west.
Mo Daofu planned to keep his promise, not only because Lin Ze showed mercy and let him go, but also because of the terrifying aura that Lin Ze "inadvertently" leaked.
Mo Daofu can guarantee that it is definitely the aura of a demigod above the holy level.
He had only felt the same kind of aura from the Byzantine Emperor.
Mo Daofu might not care about offending a saint-level powerhouse, but he still wouldn't dare to offend a demigod-level powerhouse.
…
Mo Daofu's departure did not have much impact on Lin Ze. He was preparing for the next war.
Lin Ze, who is in the Soul Realm, already has enough strength to sweep the world.
Even if Xiang Ji had a military bonus and doubled his combat power, it would still not be enough in front of the Divine Soul Realm.
Lin Ze summoned three Jin Yiwei commanders in charge of the north and asked, "How is the recent situation in the North?"
One of the commanders of the Jinyi Guards bowed and saluted and said: "I would like to inform you, a month ago, General Han designed an ambush for the army sent by the State of Zhao to support the State of Yan. Of the 100,000 troops, 30,000 died in battle and 70,000 surrendered."
"At this point, in the territory of thousands of miles in the north, the Hu people, Yan State, and Zhao State no longer have any organized enemy troops."
"General Han said that he would follow the order of the Marquis to completely wipe out the Northland. After this battle, he led an army of 100,000 people deep into the wilderness of the Northland and strangled the barbarian tribes. So far, no news has been received."
Lin Ze frowned slightly when he heard this and ordered: "In this case, let Zhang Han lead an army of 200,000 people southward and follow me to eliminate the rebellion of the six countries."
Six months ago, the governor of Mongolia Province rebelled and cut off the army's food and grass in the North. The situation in the North was critical.
Lin Ze immediately sent Han Xin to lead an army of 350,000 to the north.
It can only be said that Han Xin deserves to be called the "Soldier Fairy". In the first battle, he defeated the rebels commanded by the Governor of Mongolia Province. If the Governor of Mongolia Province had not escaped, the grass on the grave would have been several feet high.
.
In the second battle, Han Xin led the Qin army and faced millions of Hu people. He led the infantry and drove through the Hu cavalry three times.
If the infantry had not been able to outrun the cavalry, the barbarians would probably have ceased to exist in this battle.
Even so, more than half of the million-strong Hu army was lost.
In the third battle, the Yan State and the Hu people joined forces and gathered an army of 600,000, intending to ambush Han Xin.
As a result, Han Xin lured the enemy deep and launched a counter-ambush.
Counting the defeat of Zhao's reinforcements mentioned by the Jin Yiwei commander, Han Xin fought a total of ten major battles in the North, and the entire North was completely calm.
No, Han Xin still remembered that Lin Ze said that the barbarians could not be allowed to stand up, so he led his army to eliminate the roots.
As for Zhang Han, Mengtian and others, although they were tricked by the Governor of Mongolia Province and the army of 500,000 was reduced sharply to 300,000, they finally stabilized the situation and waited for the support of Han Xin.
Since Han Xin couldn't be contacted, Lin Ze thought it would be a good idea to take Zhang Han on the expedition.
After all, Lin Ze brought this army to occupy territory.
Lin Ze felt that he could handle difficult tasks on his own.
