Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi

"You usually just focus on receiving the delivered supplies, but you're completely unconcerned about how they arrive?"

"We don't care, just focused on fighting."

"Has this military fortress ever fought a battle? Have you fought since you've been here on duty?"

"Almost never, I've heard that the few previous commanders above me haven't fought either, so being stationed here is a great post, you need money to swap to this place."

"Did you pay to come here?"

"It was the commander, I came as his assistant."

"So what's your mission here?"

"To hold onto the land we've occupied, and not let any enemies take it away. It's the task of that Level 1 Military Fortress to confront and fight on the frontline; they can reinforce at any time, and it's their decision whether to fight or not."

Hida paused for a moment and weakly asked.

"People from the Level 1 Military Fortress collectively defected to us saying the transmission platform was stolen, and we found it strange, so now besides that fortress, are the frontline military fortresses also done for?"

"Yes, I dismantled them all, our country's warriors have already taken over there."

"..." Hida bowed his head.

"Are the three military fortresses connected through the transmission platforms?"

"Yes, from the transmission platform here you can go to the next one."

"I have a lifestyle-related question."

"The Great Witch may ask."

"I've seen you have workers chopping trees, and the tools used were old chainsaws."

"Chainsaws?"

Hida didn't quite understand Ye Nai's term at first, but because the topic was about tree-cutting tools, a hefty piece of equipment came to mind.

"Haven't you seen them? Don't you have workers doing rough work? Aren't you chopping trees for fuel?"

While speaking, Ye Nai took out his own electric saw from within his space, which looked similar to a chainsaw, the only difference being one uses electricity and the other uses fuel.

"Ah, this one, I've seen it, seen workers use it to chop trees quickly, even women can use it."

The person watched carefully without blinking.

"Ours are very old, often break down, is yours new?"

"It's new, quiet, and powerful."

Ye Nai turned on the switch, the saw blade started moving, emitting a steady buzzing sound.

Hida praised once again.

"It's really quiet, is this the normal sound?"

"This one uses electricity, so it's quieter, chainsaws are noisy."

"Oh, oh, oh..."

Hida still didn't quite understand but knew it was a good thing.

"I've been here for years, finally seeing something good."

"Answer my question, where does your chainsaw fuel come from?"

"Fuel? Provided by No.2 Military Fortress. There are five military fortresses in our country here, numbered one to five, that Level 1 Military Fortress is No.5, mine is No.4, No.2 Military Fortress supplies the fuel, apparently, they have the raw materials, but I've never seen it."

"Does No.2 Military Fortress provide fuel for the Level 1 Military Fortress as well?"

"Yes."

"But they only have one transmission platform to their homeland, how do they deliver supplies to them? Completely relying on manpower?"

"Yes, only manpower. We are the closest, supplies are first sent here by us, because of that transmission platform, the Level 1 Military Fortress seldom sets up other platforms, they're afraid of deserters."

"But there are thirty transmission platforms corresponding to the Beigen Military Fortress, so why not worry about people sneaking over?"

"No worries, anyone coming is recruited on the spot, comparatively speaking, deserters are more unforgivable."

Ye Nai nodded thoughtfully, thinking the arrangement made sense.

"Alright, I have no further questions; go pack your things, I'll send you back."

"You're sending us back now?"

"Strictly speaking, soldiers can be sent back, but officers must stay, otherwise I cannot report to my superiors. Important assistants like you are also better off not being sent back."

Hida immediately tensed up, knowing the truth in the other's words; if they were not at war with another country, captured officers and important assistants would be dealt with differently.

"Since I promised to send you back, I will not break my word, South Royal Capital Camp guarantees you will land safely. But you must be smart, never mention in the future that you were let go because of a deal with me, otherwise, if your people accuse you of collusion, don't blame me for not warning you."

While speaking, Ye Nai nudged the bag of gold coins placed on the table earlier, it rattling noisily.

Hida nodded fervently.

"I understand, I understand, I won't say anything, I'll just say at that time everyone was waiting for dinner, then suddenly I fainted, when I woke up, I was back home, I don't know anything."

"Good, remember what you said."

As soon as Ye Nai's words fell, Hida collapsed onto the ground into a soft slumber, being collected into the space.

The spores poised in the entire city swiftly followed, collecting the public and private assets, transmission platforms, and all the men, women, young and old in the entire fortress into the space, leaving not even a piece of paper behind.

The entire military fortress was thus completely empty.

Ye Nai stepped back to the East Ridge Secret Realm, directly appearing in the vast wilderness outside Town No.2.

The captives collected in the space were all thrown out with a crash, separating soldiers and workers.

At a glance, the workers were all Blue Star people, much healthier than the group left behind, among them some were Awakeners.

Setting aside the workers, Ye Nai continued sorting soldiers, selecting middle and high-level officers and setting them aside.

The remaining low-level officers and soldiers she sent back into the space, stepping back to the South Royal Capital Camp of the Selsa United Kingdom.

During her busy time on Blue Star, here in the Otherworld's South Royal Capital Camp, the soldiers who were originally sleeping had already awakened, but looking at the barren, ransacked camp, not knowing what had happened, the soldiers had no choice but to go to the Royal Capital to find food.

The officer who divulged some intelligence for Ye Nai's money also kept his mouth tightly shut, saying nothing, even going to the Royal Capital was their joint idea.

They knew very well that the Royal Capital only had a sheriff with a security team and a civil affairs officer with a few clerks handling daily affairs, even the judge had gone with His Majesty to the world over there, there wasn't a single decent high-ranking official left here, any family with connections had paid to leave with them.

In other words, the well-established capital of a country was entirely filled with the lower class.

When the official army of the South City Camp suddenly ran to the Royal Capital to eat, it directly shattered the illusion of good public order in the Royal Capital.

It's simple logic, when the Royal Capital was still the Royal Capital, there were slums and gangs running rampant, but now that the big figures supposed to oversee the Royal Capital have gone to live on Blue Star, those gangs quickly rose, engaging in turf wars every few days.

Except for not robbing major buildings like the Royal Palace, mainly controlled by the sheriff and civil affairs officer, every other area, even a dead-end alley without an exit, needed someone to call the shots.
