Ye Liuyun fought several counter-ambushes and inflicted heavy damage on the Imperial Guards.
After seeing that their strength was not enough, Ye Liuyun directly asked Mo Ran to organize a mercenary group again, directly rebel, resist the rule of the empire, directly plunder the resources of each city, and then hand over the planet to Ye Liuyun for collection.
They changed from cannibalizing to openly grabbing.
Anyway, the Xingpan Empire can't take care of Ye Liuyun now. Even if it sends some strong martial arts experts, Ye Liuyun won't be afraid.
News of the mercenary rebellion also spread quickly, and many nearby mercenaries came to join them, so the mercenary team also expanded rapidly.
This mercenary rebel army specializes in plundering city lords' palaces, chambers of commerce and major forces in various cities. Therefore, it is very popular among mercenaries. It soon gathered more than 100,000 people, and it is still growing rapidly.
Ye Liuyun didn't do much to manage these mercenaries. He just recruited some strong ones into the Wolfhound Legion to replenish the supply of soldiers.
After the mercenary army plundered all the major forces in various places, Ye Liuyun collected the planet or the original power of the planet, and then moved on to the next planet.
Therefore, his space world also has a very sufficient supply of troops.
The empire also sent strong men to intercept several times, but they only gave free martial arts cultivators to Ye Liuyun to replenish the troops of the Sharp Sword Regiment.
The martial arts cultivators who dominate the third to fifth realms have become Ye Liuyun's training partners.
I want to send troops to encircle and suppress them, but the army is confronting the aliens.
The mercenaries are very powerful, so if they recruit one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand mercenaries, it may not be of any use.
Soon, the rebellious mercenary army swept across the southern half of the world.
Ye Liuyun's space world is also constantly growing.
Pei Yong took advantage of the rest of the mercenary army to recruit another 100,000 troops for the Wolfhound mercenary group, which expanded to 300,000.
Even so, this rebel mercenary team still numbered more than 200,000.
It is true that these mercenaries have been suppressed for too long. No one has ever regarded them as human beings. They have no good impression of the Astrolabe Empire at all.
Now that they had the opportunity to gather together and rob the city lord's palace, the major forces and the chamber of commerce, they all contributed vigorously and rushed to vent all their years of repression.
These mercenaries don't need to be managed. After they get together, they no longer rob their own people, but act unanimously against others, so there is basically no need to discipline them.
But they are merciless in dealing with those big forces. They have always spared no one and eradicated them at their root.
This is also because they are worried that they will come back to retaliate against them in the future.
The empire is now completely panicked. The mercenary rebellion is developing faster and faster. Not only in the south, but also in other directions, there are even mercenaries imitating it.
And it quickly developed into a large scale.
The pattern is the same everywhere, rob the city lord's palace and the big forces in the city, and unite the mercenaries and martial arts outside the city.
Seeing this situation, the Xingpan Empire would have been swallowed up by mercenaries if it didn't suppress it.
So Liu Haotian was immediately asked to divide his troops to deal with the rebellious mercenaries, and he could also capture these mercenaries to replenish the supply of troops.
So Liu Haotian could only send an army of 300,000 men, with Meng Wenxiang going to the south, Han Qiao to the west, and another commander going to the east. Liu Haotian himself led the troops to resist the aliens while annihilating the rebel mercenaries in the north.
When Meng Wenxiang sent out troops, he was worried about meeting Ye Liuyun.
Moreover, each of their commanders only had 100,000 troops. It would have been very difficult to use these troops to destroy the mercenaries.
But Liu Haotian can now allocate 300,000 troops, which is already very difficult, and he cannot give them more troops.
"If you really encounter Ye Liuyun, just make a show of fighting and retreating at the same time!"
Before Liu Haotian set off, he also asked Meng Wenxiang to contact Ye Liuyun first.
The reason why he asked Meng Wenxiang to go to the south was because he knew that he was cautious, not as reckless as Han Qiao, and that he was better at using troops than other commanders.
Liu Haotian also didn't want to conflict with Ye Liuyun.
Meng Wenxiang also contacted Ye Liuyun in advance and told him Liu Haotian's arrangement.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Ye Liuyun also understood that Meng Wenxiang didn't want to go to war with him.
So Ye Liuyun ordered the mercenary army to speed up the robbery and expand their recruitment, trying to collect more resources before Meng Wenxiang arrived.
In the end, Ye Liuyun collected ten more planets before Meng Wenxiang arrived.
But then, his mercenary army boarded the battleship and moved away from the south. The mercenaries were all practicing on the battleship.
Ye Liuyun asked them all to rest for a while, and after Meng Wenxiang retreated, they would fight back.
Ye Liuyun himself rushed to the east and asked Pei Yong to release the 100,000 troops he had just collected to compete with local mercenaries for resources while also dealing with the eastern army.
His army is well-disciplined and well-equipped.
So after a battle between local mercenaries and the army, Ye Liuyun took action decisively, crippling both teams in one fell swoop, and soon became the largest mercenary group in the east.
In the past, even if the mercenary group in the east conquered the planet, they did not collect it or take away its original power.
Ye Liuyun was not polite and started collecting them directly, even taking away many martial arts cultivators on the planet.
Although he was a little tough at first, in the end due to his strength, he defeated the army that came to destroy the mercenaries, and he also gained the support of many mercenaries.
The key is that his army is equipped with the same equipment as the regular army and looks more promising than the previous mercenary group.
Therefore, many mercenaries joined them, and the team quickly expanded.
The team expanded so fast that even Pei Yong felt that it was difficult to train.
So Ye Liuyun discussed with Yu Xiaofeng and brought over Meng Qingyin and Xiao Yunfang to help Pei Yong train his troops.
Meng Wenxiang didn't meet Ye Liuyun at all in the south. He simply suppressed the local mercenaries and quelled the rebellion in the south.
Han Qiao fought several big battles with mercenaries in the west. Relying on the advantage of the formation, he finally broke up the large mercenary group. He also captured many prisoners and replenished the supply of troops. It was considered a success in countering the rebellion.
.
So the empire sent them to the east to join forces to put down the rebellion.
After Ye Liuyun saw them coming, he also retreated with his troops and rushed to the west.
At the same time, the mercenary army in the south began to annex the empire's planets.
It was as if they were playing a hide-and-seek game. Ye Liuyun did not meet with the counter-rebellion army at all, and instead fought here and there to train his troops.
Mercenaries from all over the country also became more obedient as soon as they saw the imperial army coming.
As soon as they left, they continued to join Ye Liuyun's team. The empire simply could not suppress the resistance of many martial arts cultivators.
Ye Liuyun recruited troops while fighting, and soon expanded the Wolfhound Legion to 600,000.
Moreover, they are all at the third level of domination or above. Every 100,000 troops is equipped with a guard of strong martial arts masters at the fifth or sixth level.
The mercenaries from other realms were just following Ye Liuyun to rob as a rebellious mercenary group, and some of them were taken into the space world by Ye Liuyun as a reserve of soldiers.
