136: Chapter 136 The Fire Seed Project!

These two Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists searched all the way through the ruins of the Rainforest Mining Area, and they actually managed to find some stragglers.

Not everyone in the Black Earth Tribe was fearless, especially those forced to remain at the Rainforest Mining Area; many had been eliminated from The Military.

Their combat effectiveness was not high to begin with, and some had even hidden before the battle started, which resulted in Li Mo not finding them.

"Of... Officer."

Now that they had been dragged out, they were all very anxious.

However, these two Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists knew what these people were like, so they did not blame them too much. Instead, they asked with disdain: "Enough! What exactly happened at the Rainforest Mining Area? Explain the cause and effect in detail, and I will not punish you!"

Consequently, this group of survivors gave a detailed account of the events, explaining thoroughly how Li Mo had infiltrated and how he had incited the riot.

They naturally mentioned Li Mo's name, because Li Mo had stated his unit designation when he incited the riot!

The two Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists were immediately shocked.

"What? It's this Li Mo again!"

"A mere Vanguard Battalion commander, and he has actually made our army of five hundred thousand suffer setback after setback! What on earth is going on!"

Generally speaking, Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists were at the top level of The Military, so the two of them naturally knew Li Mo's name.

Whether it was attacking the medical unit, annihilating Baal's forces, or the current incident at the Rainforest Mining Area, it was all Li Mo leading people to cause trouble!

Two Vanguard Battalions only consisted of about two thousand people, yet now they had not only caused tens of thousands of Black Earth Tribe members to die in battle, but also caused huge economic losses!

"Sigh!"

One of the Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists sighed and then said: "Forget it, let's go back and report to Marshal Morpheus. We must find a way to eliminate this Li Mo!"

"General, I... I have one more thing to report to you. Not only was the Rainforest Mining Area destroyed, but many of the roads behind the mining area were also blown up by them..."

"What did you say?"

...

Soon, the two Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists returned to report, and Morpheus was heartbroken upon learning of the losses.

He understood that what they had lost now was not just hundreds of thousands of kilograms of star crystal, but their supply lines had also been completely cut off by the enemy.

Once the main force of Daxia engaged them in a decisive battle now, they would be at a distinct disadvantage.

The medical unit was almost completely wiped out, causing the Black Earth Tribe army to lose the ability to sustain combat, and the severed supply lines caused them to suffer further heavy losses.

Morpheus hated Li Mo to the bone; a mere battalion commander had actually managed to achieve this much.

The key was that Morpheus was helpless against him; the entire wilderness was too vast, and finding a unit of over two thousand people was incredibly difficult.

Moreover, he was also afraid of ambushes by Daxia's troops!

There was no other way; Morpheus could only think of one final strategy now.

"Activate Project Fireseed!"

Upon hearing the words "Project Fireseed," several of Morpheus's confidants were immediately shocked.

"What? Marshal, are you sure you want to activate Project Fireseed now?"

"Our Project Fireseed has been in preparation for many years, intended to deliver a crushing blow to Daxia at a critical moment! Is it not a bit of an overkill to use it now..."

The so-called Project Fireseed referred to the plan designed by the spy organization that Morpheus had established in his early years.

They took Daxia people who had grown up in the Black Earth Tribe, like Huang Zhongze, provided them with elite training, and finally sent them to Daxia.

Now, these spies had more or less become elites in various industries in Daxia.

Some were street vendors, some were business tycoons, and others were political figures; naturally, there were some within The Military as well.

The name "Project Fireseed" represented that these spies would ignite like a spark within Daxia, subsequently triggering a raging fire that would destroy the entire country.

Although Daxia's vetting process was relatively strict, Morpheus's spy organization had prepared for a long time for Project Fireseed, so they naturally exhausted all means to infiltrate them into Daxia.

Morpheus had originally intended to activate Project Fireseed later, but the destruction caused by Li Mo was truly too great, so he had no choice but to activate it early.

He needed to obtain intelligence!

For example, obtaining intelligence on Li Mo's unit and intelligence on Daxia's main force.

In reality, at this point in time, if the Daxia spies lurking in The Military sent out intelligence, they would be very easily exposed, which was why Morpheus had such a pained expression, as if he were cutting off a piece of his own flesh.

Unlike the low morale of the entire Black Earth Tribe army, Li Mo's entire unit, which had already escaped to a safe zone, was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

This was a harvest of hundreds of thousands of kilograms of star crystal!

Based on Daxia's current resource mines, it would take about two years to produce this much star crystal, yet they had seized it from the enemy's hands without any effort.

Not to mention anything else, at the very least, a collective first-class merit was guaranteed.

Everyone would get promoted because of this!

Not to mention that they had also destroyed the enemy's mining area and cut off the enemy's supply lines.

Now the scale of the entire unit had expanded to the size of a regiment!

How could it not be worth celebrating?

Even Li Mo told the entire unit that they could celebrate to their heart's content today!

After settling the entire unit, Li Mo turned and returned to his tent, took out the radio to contact Zhao Zhenyuan, and provided a summary report on the current situation.

Upon hearing the results Li Mo had achieved, Zhao Zhenyuan was immediately overjoyed.

"Haha! Li Mo, I truly did not misjudge you!"

"Over two thousand people! To think you've stirred up an army of five hundred thousand and left them with no peace; good! Well done! Even if it were me, I wouldn't know how to fight this battle!"

"Wait until I broadcast your battle results to the entire army! It won't be a problem for you to be promoted directly to major general when you return; a twenty-year-old major general, how many are there in this world?"

Zhao Zhenyuan appeared exceptionally excited, praising Li Mo repeatedly on the other end of the line.

However, Li Mo was not carried away by the victory at this moment; instead, he appeared very vigilant and cautious.

Although they had expanded their numbers, the enemy still had an army of five hundred thousand, and their small force was simply no match.

Most importantly, Li Mo had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He said to Zhao Zhenyuan: "Thank you for your praise, Marshal Zhao! But please do not broadcast my affairs to the entire army; I feel that with Morpheus's methods, he must be trying every possible way to obtain intelligence right now!"

In fact, through the Starry Sky University incident, Li Mo already knew that there were many Black Earth Tribe spies within Daxia, he just didn't know about Project Fireseed yet.

Even the spies they had interrogated didn't know about Project Fireseed; Morpheus had not completely trusted them, so he always sent people to maintain single-line contact with them, and the spies didn't know each other's locations.

"Hmm! You have vigilance, that is very good! However, do not underestimate the others in our Daxia army; things you can think of, we might not have failed to think of!"
