Chapter 2241: Chapter 2241 Facing Devil Clan
Using the Xuankong Stone to hone their skills, Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming quickly progressed to the beginner level.
The soldiers, however, were making slower progress. Since they had no Devil Crystals, their efforts yielded minimal results.
But that didn’t stop them from battling. They even had three thousand weapons created by the Purple Flame God and the weapon-refining masters.
The Purple Flame God declared that all of their weapon grades had attained the Immortal Level.
The Devil Clan soon dispatched another batch of spies. When they learnt of the situation, they decided to charge the place with all of their might.
Therefore, Ye Liuyun immediately summoned and led his troops to meet the enemy.
They were able to wipe off the invading Devil Clan with hardly any fatalities, thanks to their current armour, new weaponry, and the addition of Devil Beastmen.
Ye Liuyun had the soldiers dismantle every home in the Devil Clan and confiscated all the black gold that was used to build them. Ye Liuyun paid no attention as the Devil Fox amassed all of the enemy’s weaponry.
Ye Liuyun quickly discovered that other Devil Beastmen had joined their ranks, assimilating with the Devil Fox’s forces.
Ye Liuyun reckoned that the Devil Fox must be leveraging his formidable army to further his clan’s expansion.
Ye Liuyun didn’t bother to meddle in his affairs and simply allowed the Devil Fox to lead them in mining the Devil Crystal mineral veins.
However, the Devil Fox informed Ye Liuyun that to continue onto the Devil Crystal vein, they would have to pass through two more Devil Clan bases. Both of which were more formidable than the one Ye Liuyun had just eradicated.
Only then did Ye Liuyun realize he had been tricked and was extremely dissatisfied with Devil Fox.
Aware that Ye Liuyun was upset, Devil Fox led him to a cave and handed over to him all the Devil Crystals stored inside.
It was the Devil Crystals they used for cultivation. Devil Fox readily gave all of these crystals to Ye Liuyun.
Witnessing the generosity of Devil Fox, Ye Liuyun felt better and couldn’t be bothered to argue with it anymore.
He divided these Devil Crystals among his 5,000 soldiers, allowing them to utilise them. The remaining soldiers would have to be patient until they were assigned a new batch of Devil Crystals.
Thankfully, this place’s information transmission was rather slow and ineffective. After about a month, word finally got out to the farther away Devil Clan, who chose to face up against the Devil Beastmen.
Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming were even able to use the newly learned techniques to deal with some of the weaker demons.
The 5,000 soldiers who had Devil crystals had also reached the beginner’s level.
In addition, about ten thousand of the army had been outfitted with new weaponary. Their shields and arrows were also upgraded.
It was now the perfect time for Ye Liuyun to test out the strength of his team of Beastmen.
He, along with Lei Ming and the beastmen, stood together against the incoming Devil Clan to engage in a bloody battle.
His Demon Slayer was still the bane of the Devil Clan, invincible as ever.
While he was in battle, it was suffice for him to launch a few newly learned techniques on the enemy.
Lei Ming, due to her large body, became the focal point of the Devil Clan’s attack, but her Thunder Hammer and Thunder power were also somewhat a bane to the Devil Clan. They were especially fearful of this kind of thunder power, especially when these Devil Clan did not have the advantage of vistuoso.
Thus, there was essentially little suspense about their triumph in this conflict.
After the victory, Ye Liuyun no longer stayed in the camp but chose to lead ten thousand soldiers to the expedition. The remaining ones stayed behind to continue mining, uprooting the big trees, and cultivating.
The Devil Clan, who were positioned farther away, proved to be stronger than the two groups Ye Liuyun fought. Fortunately, the ten thousand soldiers he brought had improved in their recent practice, otherwise, they would be the ones at a disadvantage.
So, after they defeated another Devil Clan, they stopped immediately. After mining a Devil Crystal vein, they immediately retreated.
If they continue to fight without better armor, He will put his soldiers’ safety at risk.
The tools and weapons were just about enough now, and the three weapon-refining masters began to tirelessly forge armor for the soldiers day and night.
Even if Ye Liuyun wanted to claim more mineral veins, he needed to first protect his soldiers.
A Fifty-thousand Beastmen troops would need a considerable quantity of Devil Crystals. It was something he had previously overlooked. The resources in his clone’s Spatial World did not suffice.
Since there were Devil crystals here, he would let his troops collect enough of them before returning.
Deep inside, he knew that the Devil Fox was a swindler and was playing tricks to bind Ye Liuyun.
The Devil Fox continued to assemble additional Beastmen under its leadership, and they have claimed all of the weaponry acquired in every battle.
After the battle, Ye Liuyun had his soldiers collect the corpses for cunsumption.
They showed keen interest in Ye Liuyun’s the Interspatial Ring and desired for Ye Liuyun to help them create some.
Ye Liuyun gave them a few directly. However, they couldn’t use them because they did not have Divine Soul. Ultimately, they gave up trying to use it.
Additionally, Ye Liuyun sent a team to scout the circumstances surrounding of the Devil Clan, who were located farther away.
Upon their return, the scout team reported to Ye Liuyun that they had found a small city housing about tens of thousands of Devil Clan. There were also three mineral veins nearby abundant with Black Gold and dense forests.
Ye Liuyun patiently waited for the whole army to be properly equipped with weapons and armour before they commence their journey.
However, before even half of the equipment was ready, the Devil Clan had already mobilized their army to attack. The scouts reported back that the soldiers dispatched by the Devil Clan were marching at them in battle formation.
Ye Liuyun was suddenly aware that the location he had transported to may be the edge of this Devil Clan’s domain.
The further towards the center, the more resources there were, but the strength of the Devil Clan were also stronger.
With this thought in him, Ye Liuyun confirmed it with the Devil Fox, who admitted it outright without concealing.
Ye Liuyun immediately decided to take over this Devil Clan city and use it as his defensive base.
Therefore, he began to lead his soldiers in a tactical assault against the incoming Devil Clan.
Ambushes, flanking, encircling, and other tactics were all used to minimize casualties on his troops.
After wiping out the Devil Clan that came for them, he led his entire army to siege the city.
During the siege, he even made use of Ye Tiandao’s puppet beast to break through the city gate. After occupying the city, Ye Liuyun set up Alora Crystal cannons on the city wall for defense.
Then he sent soldiers out to collect nearby crystals, black gold, trees and some medicinal hebs.
Soldiers not assigned with tasks would stay back to practice their battle skills or cultivate.
He wanted to enhance the power of both himself and his soldiers. Only then could they deal with the counterattack of the Devil Clan in the future.
Purple Flame God and the other weapon-refinning masters, also worked tirelessly during this period. They continuosly crafted as much armours and weapons for the soldiers.
He Even unleashed the Devil Beasts inside the Spatial World. He entrusted the Devil Beasts like the Long-tailed Glede with the responsibility of performing long-range reconnaissance, keeping an eye out for the attack of the Devil Clan.
The Devil Fox sent out quite a number of its underlings to rally the Devil Beastmen from the Devil clan to join them.
Ye Liuyun estimated that by the time they reach the central region of this realm, the Devil Fox could have gathered enough manpower to establish his kingdom.
However, Ye Liuyun did not stop its agenda. After all, every time they fought, the Devil Fox would led his Devil Beastmen into the fight, never evading responsibility nor slacking off.
