Chapter 2243: Chapter 2243 Free Labor
Ye Liuyun gathered all the weapons after the fight, allowed the Beastmen to devour the corpses, and kept the prisoners.
Incoming when they mined again, they would use these prisoners as coolie for the labor, freeing up more time for his soldiers to train.
As he predicted, the moment he left the city for battle, the army of fifty-thousand Devil Clan seized the small city that he made his base.
However, Ye Liuyun calmly cleared up the battlefield and gathered the prisoners.
By the time he finished doing so, the Devil Clan army had fully occupied the city.
Only then did Ye Liuyun led his army back to the base.
Inside the city, the Devil Clan soldiers were laughing loudly on the walls, mocking him for letting his guard down, and losing his base.
However, before their laughter ended, an explosion erupted inside the city. The power of the explosion sent many Devil Clan soldiers flying in the air.
An explosion also occurred at the base of the city wall where the gate was, causing it to collapse entirely. Instantly, the city was in chaos with Devil Clan scampering everywhere.
The Purple Flame God and the few weapon-refining masters, though not proficient in Formations, were capable of creating explosive the basic Formations, plus with the power of the Alora crystals, it was easy for them.
"Charge!"
With an aultimate order from Ye Liuyun, the Beastmen legion charged in.
Soon, the Devil Clan inside the city became sitting ducks. Of the fifty-thousand Devil Clans, aside from twenty-thousand prisoners, all were slaughtered.
Ye Liuyun together with his team of Beastmen legion had had a satisfying fight.
However, he noticed that they couldn’t yet completely rely on their newly learned techniques to fight against these Devil Clan. There was still a need to consume more genuine energy for replenishment.
For those who recently began training, after all, weren’t yet comparable to those who had been practising since they were young. Still, they were happy with such outcomes. Their might is far more powerful than the Devil Clan.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Ye Liuyun gathered all the prisoners of war together, to dismantled the entire city, preparing to relocate.
Large pieces of black gold were utilised to build the city, and naturally Ye Liuyun would not waste them. It was projected that the entire city and all of its structures would be dismantled in a few days given 30,000 inmates working together.
Before Ye Liuyun and his group could evacuate, the Devil fox sent his men again. But this time, they only sent a few people who weren’t armed.
Their arrogance they previously had on, vanished and they were modestly negotiating with Ye Liuyun. They were clear now that they were no match against Ye Liuyun’s formidable army.
Ye Liuyun established his position rather clearly. He would be ready to face head on if they so choose to battle. Should not, they must deliver Devil Crystal to trade for weapons, armour, and prisoners.
Moreover, the few weapon-refining masters were idle from any tasks. It wasn’t hard to had them forged more weapons, but Ye Liuyun wouldn’t had them work for it for nothing.
As for the crossbow and war chariots, Ye Liuyun would never let them possess such things. Having such advance weapons would influence the balance of the battlefield.
Plus, those were the trump cards they had to maintain an advantage on the battlefield. If the Devil Beastmen had better equipment, they might pose as a real threat to them.
The Devil Fox had no options left. Unable to defeat Ye Liuyun, they could only trade what they want with the Devil Crystals.
As he was now possessing an enormous domain, he naturally controled a lot of Devil Crystal mineral veins within his land. In return for fifty thousand weapons and thousand pieces of armour, he offered Ye Liuyun fifteen Devil Crystal mineral veins.
To get his ten thousand men back, he also traded in twenty thousand Devil Clan captives.
Ye Liuyun found the deal profitable and agreed. Following, he instructed the weapon-refining masters to forge 500 sets of armor suitable for the Devil Beastman
As for weapons, there was no need for him to order for new poduction. He would simply hand over the Devil Clan’s weapon they collected from the battlefield.
And the 500 sets of armor, Ye Liuyun had them roughly made without much intricate design or Formation imparting. The Weapon-refining Masters took no time to produced all of it. Hence, Ye Liuyun instantly fulfilled the agreement with Devil Fox.
Upon acquiring the Devil Crystal, Ye Liuyun immediately distributed the Devil crystals he gained from the five veins to his soldiers. The remaining ten Devil Crystal mineral veins were stored in his Clone’s spatial world.
Their army embarked on their journey to relocate their base.
While on the journey, the weapon-refining masters created many mining tools for the captives.
Once they arrived at the location predetermined by Ye Liuyun, the prisoners started building a city, mining, and cutting down trees. At the same time, Ye Liuyun and his companions devoted themselves to their training.
Before long, a representative from the Devil Clan sought Ye Liuyun out to negotiate the exchange of captives.
It was finally decided that twenty thousand Beastmen captives and ten Devil Crystal veins in exchanged for forty thousand Devil Clan war captives.
This left Ye Liuyun with a sweet deal, having profitted from the Devil Clan ten new Devil Crystal veins.
Moreover, the twenty thousand Beastmen were captured by the Devil Clan from the scattered Devil Beastman, making them relatively easy to manage. By simply giving them some food were enough to boost their morale.
Through this transaction, Ye Liuyun taught the Devil Race and the Devil beastmen a lesson that kept them from trifling with him. They understood Ye Liuyun’s goal was to obtain Black Gold Ores and wood, which was why they ceased to cause any more trouble.
Thus, Ye Liuyun had a peaceful period of many months during which he could gather supplies and strengthen himself.
During this period, the Devil Race changed their strategy towards dealing with the Devil Beastmen. They gathered the scattered tribes to exchange for their captured warriors, sparking internal conflicts.
But against all odds, the Devil beastmen began to retaliate against the Devil Clan upon being united and furnished with weapons. The Devil Beastmen soon splitted into two tribes, leading to territorial disputes.
Eventually, these three forces decided to work together to annihilate the outsider, Ye Liuyun, to dissolve their internal power conflicts.
During this period, Ye Liuyun remained on guard, leveraging his Devil Beast to keep track of the enemy’s movements. Once, he noticed that they were attempting to surround him, he knew that his peaceful days were to end.
In this time period, Ye Liuyun had mined enough resources to construct the Space Battleship. Considering the difficulty of this trip, he decided that it would be more worthwhile to upgrade all the weapons and armors of the God Realm soldiers, and maybe even craft more battleships and war chariots.
As for the trees in this area, the Clone’s Spatial World was almost fully filled with them. hence there was no need to carry out more uprooting and transplanting. However, he could get more lumber to be sold once he returned.
Consequently, he had not yet gathered all the immense amount of the resources he required.
Additionally, the Beastmen legion training and levelling up here was twice the result with half the effort. Once they returned, they can only rely on Devil crystals to enhance their strength, and the effectiveness will significantly slow down.
At least his soldiers must master the new cultivation techniques before they leave.
"Since they refuse to learn and insist on being my enemies, then let’s go for some military training!"
Ye Liuyun has been trying to avoid fighting with them. But now that all three forces are targeting him, he has no reason to let it slide.
On top of that, Ye Liuyun had been training extensively, it was a perfect opportunity for him to test out the result of his improved advanced energy.
