I picked up the dragon girl at the beginning and I used artillery fire to liberate the other world

Anastasia came to the Mithril City again, but this time she brought better news.

With Bai Yan's careful teaching and guidance, Anastasia did not bring the believers of Blackwater Village back to Chaoyang Territory, but set out on a mission to various regions of the Baiyan Empire to find new oil mines.

To this end, Bai Yan also established a new oil company, Blackwater Petrochemical, and the company's general manager was Anastasia.

Various oil refining equipment and exploration instruments were manufactured under the guidance of the Book of All Things.

This time, Anastasia discovered a new oil mine, located in the center of the White Rock Empire.

"Your Highness, when do you want to start mining?" Anastasia, wearing a black veil, stood respectfully in front of Bai Yan. Her originally fair skin had become dry and black due to wind and sun.

But when she looked at Bai Yan, her eyes were shining brightly.

"You've helped me a lot this time, take a good rest for a day, and just ask for anything you want.

From tomorrow on, you will be responsible for oil extraction, personnel training, and oil refining methods. If you have any questions, please ask me."

Bai Yan drew a red circle around the lava valley on the map, feeling secretly excited.

With oil, we can practice our own steel torrent.

Anastasia looked conflicted when she heard this, and she looked at Bai Yan as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong? Don't be too cautious when you're with me. You've done a great job. Just ask for anything you want."

Bai Yan tried his best to make his smile gentler. This little girl was probably still secretly afraid of his identity as a slave of God.

Seeing Bai Yan like this, Anastasia finally spoke slowly, "Your Highness, I, I want you to make me dinner, and we can eat together."

"Is that all?" Bai Yan was already prepared to reward Anastasia with a large sum of gold coins, or some rare treasures.

She was struggling for a long time and didn't say anything, but in the end it turned out to be just a dinner?

"Okay, I promise you." Bai Yan laughed twice, then continued to read the military organization report that Gray sent over in the morning.

Including various new recruits, the size of the Baiyan Empire's army has reached about 400,000. Although most of them are new recruits, due to the generation gap in weapons, they can form an extremely effective killing force without too much training.

Even more impressive is that two new armored armies have been formed.

Each armored army was equipped with 400 Tiger tanks and 100 armored personnel carriers.

If there were no Saint-level combat power to block it, this force alone would be enough to flatten most areas.

Up to now, the manufacture of various military equipment has been carried out in accordance with war standards, and the inventory of bullets and artillery shells is enough to bomb the Baiyan Empire.

All the conditions for war are ripe, and this time Bai Yan is ready to take the initiative.

Four hundred thousand troops do not seem to be enough to fight against a huge empire, but Bai Yan is about to let the world know what the true truth is.

That night, Bai Yan prepared a sumptuous dinner for Anastasia alone.

And with the funds sent by Victoria, oil production was back on track within a week.

At the beginning of spring, row after row of military trucks carrying soldiers from the White Rock Empire arrived at the border and gathered in the three cities of Alvaron, Casoria, and Narugad for reorganization.

The land in the wilderness slowly changes from barren brown to light yellow-green, heralding the arrival of the new year.

There were 400,000 troops and 15 army groups, with Gray as the commander-in-chief. The commanders of each unit cooperated with each other and divided the troops into three groups and marched northward.

Bai Yan knew very well that this war would not end too soon. At least in the next six months, it would be difficult to incorporate the entire Bai Yan Empire into the territory.

After all, those holy-level fighters are quite troublesome to deal with, and sometimes one person can defeat an army of ten thousand.

"Your Highness, are we too hasty?" Minister Edward stood behind Bai Yan and spoke slowly.

"Are you anxious?" Bai Yan raised his head and looked through the window at the dense stars above his head, which looked like a mysterious picture of the Milky Way.

"Edward, we don't have much time anyway. Servis and those legends won't let a variable exist for too long."

"But, with our current strength, can we really do it?"

"I know what you mean, but the best defense is offense."

With a burst of artillery fire, the prelude to the war was thus opened.

The flag of the Baiyan Empire was a red flag with a dragon pattern. It moved northward and soon captured large tracts of territory from the Aksashi Empire.

Faced with the thick city wall, the tank became shaky after a few shots. Then the steel torrent moved forward without any hindrance, crushing all the enemies in front of it under its tracks.

The infantrymen, holding automatic rifles in their hands, followed the armored tanks at a leisurely pace, accurately harvesting the lives of the enemy.

This kind of dimensionality-reduction attack made it impossible for the defenders of these small marginal towns to muster the slightest desire to resist.

The flag of the Baiyan Empire went northwards, and various good news spread frequently.

But Bai Yan knew that all these were early experience monsters, and the enemies that were truly lethal to the army had not yet appeared.

In the Exash Empire, Servis looked down at the group of nobles who had fled below with a gloomy face.

They knelt on the stone floor, looking dishevelled and dirty, as if they had really suffered a life-threatening disaster.

"Your Majesty, we are simply unable to resist!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, you don't know how powerful the enemy's steel fortresses are. None of our weapons can leave any trace on them."

. . .

Suddenly, the palace was filled with noise and the sounds of complaints like those of a woman crying out in the street filled the air.

"Are you finished?"

Servis lifted his middle-parted blond hair and slowly stood up.

Suddenly, the noise in the entire palace disappeared, and everyone put their heads to the ground in panic, feeling uneasy.

"I asked you if you have finished speaking. Speak."

As Servis spoke again, the entire palace seemed to be beating like a heartbeat.

A middle-aged bearded man nodded shakily in response, "Your Majesty, I have finished speaking."

"Let's get going now."

Servis clapped his hands, and a group of guards came in and quickly surrounded everyone.

Without waiting for them to say anything to beg for mercy, the sharp blade cut off their heads.

Servis looked at this scene and began to laugh wildly, as if venting his dissatisfaction, and threw the people around him to the ground with both hands.

"Bai Yan! How dare you?"

"You didn't even dare to say a word back to me before, so what qualifications do you have to be my opponent now?"

Servis remembered what Pope Galen had told him a few days ago, and called over the Imperial General, Rex.
