Ye Liuyun also knew that these beggars and robbers were very suitable as soldiers for the Death Army, but he had to consider the cost of training them.
Tens of thousands of people consume too many resources, and he can't afford it now.
Especially these people's bloodline, physical body and soul power are too weak, and they need more resources.
Therefore, this matter can only be postponed temporarily until he has more resources.
Ye Liuyun gave Cui Daoran the task of recruiting beggars and robbers, but also asked him not to eliminate people as crazily as before.
These robbers themselves are not afraid of fighting and are basically qualified. The remaining strength issues can only be improved gradually during the battle.
There are also some that can be handed over to Ye Xingchen's sharp knife regiment to slowly cultivate, which are also good sources of soldiers.
Cui Daoran also arranged for the robbers in his hands to divide into groups along the border of the central area and circle around to help promote the propaganda.
From now on, this place will be regarded as a standing recruitment point, and troops will continue to be recruited here.
Robbers from various border areas heard the news and came here one after another.
In their view, becoming a soldier is a more stable way to obtain food and resources than robbers.
Ye Liuyun also handed over the remaining matters to Cui Daoran, and he led everyone into the central area.
As soon as they approached a city, they were surrounded by a group of soldiers.
The soldiers in that group were all in the middle to late stage of Xuanyu, and they numbered more than a hundred.
The captain headed by him nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, they are all at the middle stage of Xuanyu. There are also women, haha!
All join my team and I will ensure that you have no worries about food and drink. Especially women! Female soldiers are very popular here!"
Ye Liuyun immediately launched a soul attack, planting slave marks on all the people in the group.
Then use soul searching to understand the situation here.
This small town belongs to a fringe force in the war-torn area. Due to its slightly remote location, there are not many wars.
But they also have to regularly participate in battles to defend against attacks from other forces.
Therefore, the supply of soldiers is also in short supply. When they encounter martial arts cultivators in the middle and late stages of Xuanyu, they will directly recruit them as soldiers.
Almost all the people in the city have fled, not to mention the women.
Therefore, the captain was prepared to offer these women to the commander stationed in the city.
"There are only over 5,000 soldiers stationed in the city, which is not a large number. Let's take control of this small town first! Lead the way to meet your commander!"
Ye Liuyun told everyone and asked the captain to lead the way to meet the commander.
The city was in a state of depression, and except for the defenders, almost no one could be seen.
In the city lord's palace, they also met the commander of the garrison here.
Ye Liuyun was not polite to them, he directly launched a soul attack and arrested anyone he saw.
That commander was only at the first level of Xuan Dao, and the power of the soul was no match for him.
Then Ye Liuyun asked him to gather his team and control everyone.
When he saw the situation in this city, he knew that the war here was very serious and he needed some people in his hands to ensure safety.
Otherwise, when attacked by a large group of people, even if the monsters are released, they will not be able to defeat them.
Now that he has these five thousand people, he has room for maneuver.
Then he also learned about the true situation of this area from the leader through soul searching.
After all, the captain knows less information. The higher the position, the more information he knows.
This commander knew that their power was currently being fought over by two major forces.
Their leader also has a hard time deciding who to surrender to
.And they also want to use their geographical advantages to gain more benefits for themselves.
The other two forces are not actually big in the entire central region, they are just stronger than them.
Ye Liuyun thought for a while and felt that by integrating these three forces, he could almost defend this place.
So he asked the commander to take them to see their leader, on the pretext that he wanted to give the leader a woman.
The men among them all dressed up as soldiers, while the women Ye Tiandao, Lin Zhiqiu and Xiao Ningxiang kept their attire unchanged.
There are only 30,000 soldiers in their garrison nest. The entire team totals only more than 50,000 people.
The soldiers guarding the city all recognize this commander. There are only six commanders in the Xuan Dao realm among them.
Seeing them escorting several women over, they all opened the city gate and let them in.
The commander also took them directly to see the leader, and the rest of the guards were waiting outside.
Ye Liuyun, Ye Tianqiu and Wei Tianqing, each holding a woman, also approached the leader.
The guards here didn't pay much attention to the three of them, after all, they were not of high level.
It happened that the three leaders of the Xuan Dao Realm and the other two commanders were there, and Ye Liuyun captured them all in one move.
No one thought that a fourth-level Xuanyu martial artist could control a strong person in the Xuandao realm.
Ye Liuyun also began to search for souls to understand some of the situation, and then gave them orders.
"Call the other two leaders of the Mysterious Dao realm and tell them that there is a woman to share with them."
Then Ye Liuyun and Ye Tianqi started arresting people and took control of all the guards around these two commanders.
As soon as the other two leaders of the Xuan Dao Realm arrived, they directly planted the slave mark.
>
"Gather all the troops and prepare to go out!"
Ye Liuyun also immediately issued orders to them.
Then he began to subdue the soldiers here one by one and made them all sign loyalty contracts.
He only needs to control the commander, and there is no need for him to control the remaining soldiers one by one.
Then the rest of the team arrived and he took control of them one by one.
After completely controlling this team, he took them out on an expedition and approached the other two major forces one after another.
It was during the negotiations that he controlled the leaders.
The only thing left is to gradually control all the soldiers and then integrate the other two forces.
Finally, an army of 200,000 was assembled and a martial arts cultivator named Xu Qinglong was chosen as its leader.
This Xu Qinglong's realm is not high, only the first level of Xuan Dao. But his resourcefulness is much stronger than the three original leaders.
In the past, it was because I was not strong enough and could not be the leader, even if I said so, it would not count.
Ye Liuyun now fully supports him and has given him control over the other three leaders and other Xuan Dao realm martial arts cultivators.
So Xu Qinglong also felt that he had met the Ming Lord and was very motivated.
He and Ye Liuyun also discussed future countermeasures.
He suggested: "We seem to have a lot of numbers now, but the new army still needs to get used to it and should focus on defense first.
At the same time, before others know that we are integrated, we can first capture a few small cities and then expand our strength."
Ye Liuyun nodded: "You can make the decision on these little things from now on! You can tell me how to deal with the chaos in the central part!"
Ye Liuyun has always been about catching the big ones and letting go of the small ones. As long as Xu Qinglong's overall strategy is okay, he can rest assured.
Chapter completed!
