The work in the Cannon Fodder Camp has never been easy; either it's the dirty and smelly tasks that even the regular army wouldn't touch, and these could easily lead to death, or they serve as cannon fodder and rear guards during military expeditions.

In short, every task brought to them involves casualties; if faced with a terrifying mission, losing a third or even half of the people afterward is entirely possible!

However, the Cannon Fodder Camp has strict rules; rebellion or violation of military orders leads to severe punishment, and the Supervisory Commander has plenty of ways to torment you.

Therefore, even knowing they might die once outside, few dare to rebel.

Even the newcomers, despite their anxiety and unease, dare not resist and ultimately have no choice but to obediently follow the main troop.

Rebelling would make life worse than death, but once they are out, there's still a chance of returning alive; if they achieve a great feat, they might even get a sentence reduction, and possibly return alive. Everyone knows how to choose.

Under the escort of chains and the Supervisory Commander, the three Cannon Fodder Camps, comprising over a thousand people, finally arrived at the eastern side outside the main base's city wall.

The east side is a small plain spanning several hundred miles, with several natural small lakes, and further east is the remnant range of the Evil Jiao Mountain Range. Once upon a time, the forefathers of Da Qian tried to convert this strategically situated small plain into farmland, which would solve part of the army's food problem.

Unfortunately, the ancestors' efforts over generations led to continuous failures, to the point where nowadays, few people attempt it anymore.

However, it's heard that the Immortal Dynasty already has technology to enhance the lands of the Demonic World, but the cost per acre is astonishingly high, and the annual maintenance fees thereafter are also incredibly steep, making the cost per acre produced thousands of times higher than the equivalent crops in the Immortal Dynasty.

This makes it so that the Immortal Dynasty can only improve a tiny part of the Demonic World lands for experimental fields, and large-scale improvement for self-sufficiency is impossible.

At this moment.

At the edge of this small plain, quite a few people and "puppets" are busy working.

These are chain-driven "puppets" with bizarre appearances and large bodies, appearing exceptionally clumsy. They operate rapidly spinning reclamation circular saws, and although slow in movement, wherever they pass, trees, weeds, and vines are severed at the roots, and various juices containing Demonic Evil Energy splatter everywhere.

The weeds in the Demonic World possess incredible vitality, with many holding an aggressive nature; some plants contain poisonous Evil Qi for passive defense, making the simple act of cutting grass extremely dangerous for the Human race.

Besides this, the dense weeds often house countless small or micro demonic beasts or bizarre insects, with many being extremely deadly and dangerous.

If humans were to reclaim the land, most would likely perish.

Thankfully, leading the reclamation ahead are reclamation puppets produced by the Wang Clan's Artifact Refining Headquarters.

They are controlled nearby by specialized puppet masters using God Sense. Some larger reclamation puppets even have a cabin within, where puppet masters can operate the puppets from inside.

Each puppet master is certified by the Wang Professionals Union, proficient in operation, capable of troubleshooting many puppet faults, and some even adept enough to modify puppets based on special needs.

Although this profession has only taken off in the past few decades, reclamation puppet masters have become one of the sought-after careers in Da Qian.

Due to Da Qian's continuous reforms over the years, often launching major projects, reclamation puppet masters essentially never worry about job opportunities, with handsome salaries. They have indeed made significant contributions by opening up many wild territories for the Wang family and Da Qian.

However, nowadays, their work scene has shifted from Da Qian to the external Demonic World.

Fortunately, the official requirements for becoming a reclamation puppet master start at the Spirit Platform Realm, with adaptation and resistance to Demonic Evil Energy far exceeding that of Qi Refinement Realm cultivators, so they do not need to rotate like the Qi Refinement Realm military due to physical and stress factors.

Of course, they are willing to come to the external reclamation due to the Wang family's call and recruitment. Otherwise, unless forcefully conscripted and given considerable pay, they wouldn't dare to come for reclamation in the external realm.

Under the efficient operation of reclamation puppets, swaths of weeds are cleared; encountering trees, specialized tree-saw puppets saw them down, dragging them away, and then simply processing them into log piles.

These trees have grown wild for who knows how many years, with quite a few being of remarkable quality; some woods are as dense as gold and iron, but the sole flaw lies in containing much Demonic Evil Energy within the trunks, continuously releasing Demonic Evil Energy if made into furniture or houses.

Unless someone specializes in cultivating Demonic Evil Energy techniques as a demonic cultivator, else nobody would favor such materials.

Tree roots are troublesome as well, but fortunately, there are also dedicated large puppets for digging them out.

This bustling scene makes the members of the Cannon Fodder Camp slightly inclined to watch, feeling utterly bewildered.

This time, they're not being brought along for a military expedition to serve as cannon fodder? What's going on?

"Old Ancestor." In the first Cannon Fodder Camp, a man with a withered face, stubble, and disheveled hair showed an expression of astonishment, speaking weakly, "What are these people doing? Are they planning to restart the Demonic Land improvement plan?"

"Looks like it." Beside him, an elder with a gray beard, hunched back, and dirt-covered body scrutinized the situation in the distance, a hint of discontent in his expression, "Emperor Zi'an is messing around; even the Immortal Dynasty couldn't succeed, yet he dares to meddle."
