"It hasn't been breached, but it's close."
Wei Wei leaned on the table, speaking weakly.
"What do you mean? Didn't you defend it well for several years before?" Su Yi asked, seeing her state.
Wei Wei had come for help, so she certainly wouldn't hide anything.
She immediately explained the whole situation to him in detail, breaking it down thoroughly.
She emphasized that the current situation was completely different from before.
When the allied forces besieged Dreamchuan City previously, they were a disorganized rabble, unwilling to exert effort and only seeking to gain an advantage.
Therefore, their offensive strength had always been low.
Now, with the Elf race leading, the combat power of these allied forces would definitely grow stronger and stronger, and Dreamchuan City being breached would likely happen in the next few days.
After listening, Su Yi saw her worried expression and couldn't help but laugh:
"I thought your Dreamchuan City really had explosive combat power, able to easily withstand the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops with just tens of thousands. So, they weren't really trying then, huh?"
"Cut it out," Wei Wei said, clearly annoyed.
"Anyway, that's the situation. See if you have a solution."
"If there's no solution, I'm not going to deal with this mess either. I'll just abandon the city and run, and we can all go back to the Imperial Capital to fight for the throne with those useless guys."
"Can't you request reinforcements? According to you, the Chiyang Empire's strength shouldn't even consider these small fries a threat, right? If you explain the stakes to the high-ranking officials of the Chiyang Empire, would they really sit by and watch a border stronghold fall, and an entire prosperous region in the northern part of the Empire be permanently stolen?" Su Yi suggested.
Previously, her imperial brothers were busy vying for power and profit, and wouldn't come to Dreamchuan City because they all knew that those disorganized forces just wanted to raid and leave.
The territory of the Chiyang Empire was there; the previous allied forces would definitely not dare to occupy it after plundering.
Otherwise, once the internal power struggles of the Empire concluded, it would be time to deal with them.
Now that she was sure the Elf Kingdom's goal was to truly tear off a piece of the Chiyang Empire, there was no reason for the Chiyang Empire's high-ranking officials to sit idly by.
"You don't understand," Wei Wei sighed.
"My imperial brothers are too arrogant; they would never believe that the Elf Kingdom dares to do such a thing."
"Even if I send the message back to the Imperial Capital, they will only think that I can't defend Dreamchuan City and am fabricating lies to trick them into sending support."
"Anyway, don't worry about our side for now. Just tell me about your side. Do you have a way to defend the city?"
"A way..." Su Yi shook his head.
"It's not that there isn't one, but it's probably too late now."
"Before, I gave you those firearms and artillery and other equipment. I told you not to rush to use them, but to use them to train a batch of people who can skillfully use them. How many have you trained?"
"About twenty thousand people can skillfully use firearms, and about three thousand can skillfully use artillery," Wei Wei reported the numbers without thinking, clearly having kept track of this training.
However, Su Yi still shook his head:
"Still too few."
Twenty thousand people can use firearms; if they were equipped with machine guns or anti-aircraft guns, even if those who have used guns can quickly learn how to use them, these are not weapons that can be operated by one person.
Divided up, at most, they could equip a few thousand machine guns.
And operating artillery requires even more people.
Three thousand people who can skillfully use artillery could probably operate three to five hundred artillery pieces at most.
If the enemy was truly still in the era of cold weapon warfare, then as long as ammunition was supplied, this kind of firepower would be a piece of cake against their million-strong army.
But the problem is that it's a Magic World war, and the lethality of modern firearms and artillery, these hot weapons, is infinitely reduced on the battlefield.
A few hundred artillery pieces, a few thousand machine guns, might have some impact on the battlefield, but they would absolutely not change the ultimate outcome of Dreamchuan City falling.
"There should be many people on your side who can operate these weapons, right?"
Wei Wei suddenly asked out of the blue.
"What do you mean?" Su Yi was stunned for a moment.
"I have over two hundred points. I can buy a Basic Group Life Exchange Card."
"Where did you get so many points?"
Now he was truly surprised.
His two trading partners traded on time every week, trying to maximize the amount.
He had only accumulated a little over two hundred points so far.
Because there were always scattered instances where points were needed, it was really difficult to accumulate points quickly.
If he remembered correctly, Wei Wei should only have him as a trading partner.
"After I bought a Basic Matchmaking Card last time and the match failed, I haven't used a single point since, so I accumulated this much," Wei Wei said, spreading her hands.
"So, I'll provide the Life Exchange Card, can you provide enough people on your side?"
People were the key.
Sending weapons over was simple.
The Basic Group Life Exchange License Card was very cheap, but it had strict requirements on the strength of the exchanged targets. In the Magic World, it probably meant that individuals above Tier 3 could not be exchanged through the Group Life Exchange Card.
This was also why Su Yi had not been in a hurry to buy this item to bring Xing Hen's clansmen to Blue Star.
Bringing those with too low strength over now wouldn't have much meaning.
But now it was different; if Blue Star people were sent to the Magic World, the Basic Group Life Exchange License Card would be very useful.
Because Blue Star people, when placed there, were only judged by their physical strength, even less than ordinary people, so there would naturally be no restrictions.
However, the problem was that Su Yi didn't have an army of tens of thousands of people who could skillfully operate various weapons.
Power Armor exoskeletons and similar items were useful on Blue Star, but if placed in the Magic World, they might not be as effective as modern military long-range weapons blowing the enemy to smithereens.
"Let me think," Su Yi waved his hand, not agreeing immediately.
Involving sending tens of thousands of people to a completely unfamiliar Otherworld, it would absolutely not be possible to do so silently.
He could only come clean with Kyushu.
"If I come clean with Kyushu to a certain extent about the existence of the Otherworld, borrowing an elite force of tens of thousands of people should not be a big problem."
"Moreover, from another perspective, this matter might even be a good thing for Kyushu. The war in the Magic World won't end anytime soon; it's a protracted war."
"If they participate, even if Kyushu wants to change the price of military equipment on Blue Star, they won't have to reduce the weapons they originally purchased, causing the factories that produce those weapons to close. Instead, those weapon manufacturers can earn even more... This is very beneficial to Kyushu; they will absolutely not refuse."
"The biggest problem is secrecy. With Yue Ling's magic and Tian Shu's control over network information, as long as only a few people are exposed to information about the Otherworld, it should not be exposed in the short term..."
After a moment of thought, Su Yi looked at Wei Wei and gave his answer:
"Feasible!"
