Chapter 1976: News from above (2)
Regarding the Soul Merchants, it had too much history with Cloud Peak Manor, and of course, it was all the bad kind.
Cloud Peak killed one crop of their Saints, and another would sprout in its place. They destroyed one of their bases, and another would appear. The Soul Merchant's strategy towards Cloud Peak also evolved from initial confrontation, to later avoidance, and finally to sporadic harassment.
This reflected the strength of both sides.
However, this tactic of the Soul Merchant, launching surprise attacks on Cloud Peak at unknown times, greatly annoyed many core members, especially the new and old heads in charge of commerce and transportation, such as Lu Yi.
If not for the Soul Merchant, the losses from each commercial operation would be slightly less. Accumulated over time, that would be a considerable figure.
Cloud Peak had not been inactive before. Chameleon were sent out to search for Soul Merchant bases and evolved, achieving some results, but the cost was equally huge. If things went badly, they could lose many excellent soldiers and Chameleon members. Later, Cloud Peak's approach was to strengthen its escorts and launch attacks only when definite information was obtained.
But the Soul Merchant's headquarters, their core, had never appeared in Cloud Peak's sight.
"And what about that remnant force in the far north? Should we wipe them out, too, while we're at it?" Liu Zhenghong suddenly spoke.
"Previously, due to the special environment there and our own busy schedules, although we tried some methods, the results weren't good. Now we have the conditions. Our level-nine lifeforms and gene corps can definitely fight in those extreme conditions. By breaking through there, we might even discover some secrets, like their routes and methods to the south, and their methods of surviving in cold regions, etc."
