Chapter 2214: Chapter 2214 High-end Combat Power
Ye Liuyun’s Three Races Armies attacked while recruiting expert martial practitioners.
Every time they conquered a city, the acquired resources and martial practitioners were sent back. They left very few soldiers to guard the city and were on constant high alert to evacuate through the Conveyor Formation anytime.
The Revival Dynasty didn’t intervene any further.
However, many of the fleeing praetorians from all over the place pledged allegiance to Ye Liuyun.
As a result, Ye Liuyun’s army expanded at a rapid rate.
Not long later, new problems arose.
Liu Yang and Mo Shaowen, due to a lack of experience in managing soldiers and loosened management of martial practitioners, led to chaos in the two main armies.
The moment Ye Liuyun received the news, he promptly coordinated for Mo Shaowen and Liu Yang to join forces with Yu Xiaofeng’s soldiers so that everything could be reorganised and distributed in a cohesive fashion.
There were more than 300,000 soldiers in all when they congregated.
The expert martial practitioners were all assigned to Ye Tiandao for training. Ye Tiandao led these martial practitioners and returned to Inferno City.
The praetorians that Ye Liuyun had subdued earlier had mostly recovered, and they were also entrusted to Ye Tiandao.
In an instant, Ye Tiandao’s team expanded to sixteen thousand
The sheer magnitude of the troops caused Ye Liuyun to summon He Lianxiu and Pei Yong, who were tasked with organising a hundred thousand army under He Lianxiu’s command.
He Lianxiu received six thousand martial practitioners from Ye Tiandao, who were comparatively weaker, chosen by Ye Liuyun to enhance her army.
All the teams that surrendered and pledged allegiance were handled by Pei Yong, who then put effort into perfecting the entire army management system.
The progression of the massive army once again came to a halt.
Ye Liuyun took his time. He warned the soldiers to remain put and forbade any dangerous advances. It wouldn’t matter if they had to retreat to the Eastcloud Dynasty,
At the same time, the western region, where Ye Liuyun never sent troops, had become a hotbed for all the rebel groups, boiling over with fury.
The stationed one hundred thousand army at Deliverance Hill never made a move to control the situation. It allowed these factions to seize the Revival Dynasty’s City Lord Manor and its various resources.
Half of the central region—which included the districts in the east, south, and north, was already under Ye Liuyun’s influence. These were the regions devoid of any fighting.
Ye Liuyun’s hundreds of thousands of powerful troops were known to the groups within the captured zones, thus no one dared to raise trouble.
During this turbulent period, Ye Liuyun successfully drove away all of the rebel groups who had hoped to capture resources from the Revival Dynasty.
After this battle, the Revival Dynasty only occasionally dispatched a few troops to eliminate some of the more boisterous rebel forces but never made a move against Ye Liuyun.
Even if they knew that the defensive capabilities of the cities occupied by Ye Liuyun were not strong, they didn’t dare to provoke it.
They reasoned that even if they managed to seize them back, Ye Liuyun would just capture them again, rendering the effort in vain.
Just at this moment, Ye Liuyun received sudden information from Li Hongtao, the high-ranking steward of the Foreign race expert Battlefield, who was here on behalf of the Alliance of Goddesses.
"We are in a tight situation on the foreign race battlefield and we need reinforcements!"
When Ye Liuyun heard this, he was naturally worried. Even before the Revival Dynasty’s true power was revealed, he was worried about bringing in his experts. A genuine effort against him by the Revival Dynasty could be far more perilous.
Still, he asked: "How many people are needed? What realm?"
Li Hongtao informed Ye Liuyun: "Currently on the foreign race Battlefield, martial practitioners at the early and middle stages of the ninth level are considered common soldiers. Only those at the advanced ninth level can be considered elite soldiers.
"Currently, there are numerous vacancies among the soldiers of different realms in the Nine Realms. The Alliance of Goddesses is aware of your present situation, but the Revival dynasty’s support for the foreign race battlefield is inadequate."
"After his repeated failures, Mo Xiaotian had more reasons to not supply soldiers. Furthermore, even if he deploys people, their combat effectiveness is weak, and they are only here to acquire resources."
"Therefore, the Alliance of Goddesses has no choice but to entreat you for assistance by providing a thousand martial practitioners of the primary, intermediate and advanced Ninth Realms each. However, your assistance won’t be without compensation, you’ll be compensated amply in return."
Li Hongtao knew of Ye Liuyun’s hardship. Hence he didn’t ask Ye Liuyun for the experts from the ultimate Ninth Realms.
Ye Liuyun immediately agreed.
"Okay. I’ll dispatch people for reinforcement. As for the exact number, let me think about it before getting back to you."
Noticing Ye Liuyun’s attitude, Li Hongtao was pleased and waited patiently for Ye Liuyun’s response.
Ye Liuyun convened a meeting with Song An, Yu Xiaofeng, Qiong Qi, Xiao Yunfang, He Lianxiu, Ye Tiandao, Pei Yong, Liang Xue, Xia Tianqiong and Xia Lingshuang for a discussion.
"The Revival Dynasty presently has ten thousand soldiers and forty thousand praetorians ready for deployment. Yuan Hao from the west has a hundred-thousand army who is standing by. with their intentions unclear."
"The Revival Dynasty has yet to show its true strength. The resources we have obtained from the central region can only support us for three more months with the increase in army size."
"More importantly, the foreign battlefield is in a dire state and needs our reinforcement. Furthermore, they asked for at least a thousand martial practitioners of the primary, intermediate and advanced Ninth Realms each."
"The Alliance of Goddesses offered to provide us with a handsome amount of resources as compensation. However, I need to hear your opinions on the magnitude of the impact that would result from our withdrawing these soldiers from the army."
Following Ye Liuyun’s speech, he extended an invitation for everyone to share their thoughts.
"Why should they demand troops from us when the praetorians of the Revival dynasty have forty thousand men and are fiercely competitive with us? Is it difficult to pick three thousand from them?" Song An sounded discontented with the Alliance of Goddesses’s request.
"The people from the Revival Dynasty aren’t keen on the foreign race battlefield possibly due to the inability of the Alliance of Goddesses to control these praetorians and hence can’t get them to sign the soul contract!" Ye Liuyun speculated.
Ye Liuyun added, "However, the Alliance of Goddesses has been supporting us. And we should also contribute to resisting the foreign race’s invasions!"
"To eliminate the Revival Dynasty and dispatch our entire army to the Foreign race battlefield, I have no objections. When the time comes, I will go without any hesitation! But the reassignment of so many experts at one time will bring huge risks!"
Song An voiced candidly.
"Yeah!" Yu Xiaofeng said, "Right now, amongst our own varied armies, there are not that many of expert level, most are concentrated in the Blade Legion unit."
"Our progress is slow because we lack high-end combat power. Our progress rate may be further impacted if so many are reassigned at once."
Additionally, Xiao Yunfang stated, "Even though we now have a sizable military, the actual combat strength we can use comes from the 100,000 members of the original Dark Legion, all of whom are at levels ranging from the sixth to the eighth realm."
"The rest of our troops are surrendered soldiers from our previous opponents. It would take at least a year or two of refining to train these warriors to the level of the Death Legion’s fighting prowess."
"We could lead them along if we have these superior fighting abilities. If that isn’t the case, we’ll have to trade time for strength. But within such a period, we don’t have enough resources for support."
