Chapter 2237: Battle Against the Demon Race

Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming cultivated their techniques using the Xuan Kong Shi, quickly reaching the beginner level.

The soldiers' progress, however, was slow, and since they themselves had no Magic Crystal, the effect was not noticeable.

But it did not temporarily hinder their combat.

Purple Flame Divine Lord and others also forged three thousand weapons for them.

According to Purple Flame Divine Lord, their weapon grade had already reached the level of Super Divine Rank.

Soon, the Demon Race sent people again to scout; after discovering the situation, they mobilized their entire nest and came here to kill.

Ye Liuyun immediately led the great army to meet the enemy.

They themselves already had armor, plus the help of the new weapons, and the participation of the Demon Race half-beasts, so they suffered almost no casualties and wiped out this tribe.

Ye Liuyun ordered the soldiers to dismantle all the tribe's houses, collecting the black gold used to build them.

The weapons were all taken by Mohu, and Ye Liuyun paid no attention.

But soon, Ye Liuyun discovered that another group of Demon Race half-beasts had arrived, joining forces with them and joining the troop led by Mohu.

He estimated that Mohu, relying on having these weapons and the help of Ye Liuyun's great army, was taking advantage of the situation to expand his own tribe.

Ye Liuyun also couldn't be bothered to manage their affairs, merely letting Mohu lead them to mine the Magic Crystal vein.

But Mohu told Ye Liuyun that the Magic Crystal vein still needed to continue forward, passing two more Demon Race tribes.

Moreover, those two Demon Race tribes were even stronger than the one Ye Liuyun had just wiped out.

Only now did Ye Liuyun realize he had been tricked, and he was very dissatisfied with Mohu.

Mohu also knew Ye Liuyun was angry, and brought him to a cavern, taking out all the Magic Crystals inside.

These were the Magic Crystals stored by their tribe for cultivation, and they were all given to Ye Liuyun.

Seeing that it wasn't too stingy, Ye Liuyun also couldn't be bothered to argue with him.

He distributed these Magic Crystals to the five thousand strongest soldiers, letting them use them first, while the others could only wait for subsequent Magic Crystals.

Fortunately, information transmission here is slow; by the time the news reached more distant Demon Race tribes, when they came to attack the Demon Race beasts, a month had already passed.

Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming could even use the newly learned techniques to deal with some weaker Demon Race.

Those five thousand soldiers who had received Magic Crystals also reached the beginner level.

Moreover, the great army's weapons had already been equipped for nearly ten thousand people.

Even bows and shields were updated.

So it was also time for Ye Liuyun to test the strength of these half-beasts.

He brought Lei Ming and these half-beasts to face the charging Demon Race, engaging in a true melee.

His Demon Slaying Sword remained the bane of the Demon Race, still invincible.

Therefore, when he fought, using only the newly learned technique was already enough.

Lei Ming's large stature made him a primary target for the Demon Race's attacks, but his Thunder God Hammer and Thunder and Lightning Power also counted as half a bane to the Demon Race, especially since these Demon Race lacked elemental cores, making them greatly fearful of this Thunder and Lightning Power.

Thus, in this battle, they won, with almost no suspense.

After the victory, Ye Liuyun no longer garrisoned, but chose to lead these ten thousand soldiers on a campaign.

The remaining people stayed behind to continue mining, transplanting large trees, and continuing cultivation.

But after Ye Liuyun launched this attack, he discovered that the Demon Race forces farther away were stronger; fortunately, the ten thousand soldiers he brought had recently improved their cultivation, otherwise they would have suffered losses.

So after they defeated another tribe, they immediately stopped, dug a Magic Crystal vein, and then promptly retreated.

If they continued fighting, without better armor the soldiers would be in danger.

Tools and weapons were also sufficient enough; now three weapon refiners were working day and night to forge armor for the soldiers.

Even if Ye Liuyun wanted to contend for more mineral veins, he first needed to protect the soldiers.

He had previously overlooked this as well; fifty thousand Demon Beast soldiers also required a considerable amount of Magic Crystals.

The resources inside his Duplicate Space World were certainly insufficient.

Therefore, since there are Magic Crystals here, he will certainly help the great army store enough Magic Crystals before returning.

He also felt in his heart that Mohu was a pitfall; this also amounted to setting a trap for him, binding him.

Moreover, Mohu was still recruiting more half-beasts under his command, and the weapons obtained in each battle belonged to them.

After this battle, Ye Liuyun had the soldiers collect the corpses to use as food.

They took a liking to Ye Liuyun's great army's Storage Rings, wanting him to help them make some as well.

But Ye Liuyun directly gave them a few; however, they couldn't open them due to lacking a Soul, and ultimately could only give up.

Ye Liuyun also dispatched a squad of scouts to investigate the situation of the Demon Race farther away.

After the scouts returned and reported to Ye Liuyun, they said they had discovered a small city where tens of thousands of Demon Race had gathered.

Near the small city, there were three mineral veins.

There were also abundant black gold resources and this Mi Lin.

After Ye Liuyun received the information, he did not rush to advance, but patiently waited for the entire army to finish equipping weapons and armor.

But before even half the equipment was ready, the Demon Race first sent troops against them.

Moreover, the scouts reported back that this time the Demon Race's soldiers sent were actually coming in formation.

Ye Liuyun suddenly realized that the place he had transmitted to might be the edge of this Demon Race world.

The further one goes toward the center, the more abundant the resources, but the Demon Race's strength also increases.

Ye Liuyun confirmed this idea with Mohu, and Mohu directly admitted it without any concealment.

Ye Liuyun immediately decided to capture this Demon Race city and use it as his defensive base.

Thus, he began leading troops to employ tactical attacks against this Demon Race soldier unit.

Ambush, sneak attacks, insertion, encirclement, and other tactics were all employed, minimizing casualties on his side as much as possible.

After wiping out these Demon Race forces, he immediately led the entire army to set out and directly attack the city.

During the siege, they also used Ye Tiandao's puppet beast, directly blasting through the city gate.

After occupying the city, Ye Liuyun again set up crystal stone cannons on the city walls for defense.

Then he sent troops out to gather nearby crystal stone mineral veins, black gold ore, wood, and medicinal herbs.

The remaining soldiers without assignments were all training with all their effort.

He wanted himself and these soldiers to quickly increase their strength.

Only then could they withstand the future counterattack of the demon race.

Purple Flame Divine Lord and other armorsmiths, having been busy enough this period, were continuously forging armor and weapons for the soldiers.

The demon beasts inside the Space World were also released by him, letting fast demon beasts like the demon kites handle long-range scouting to guard against demon race attacks.

As for Mohu, it dispatched many subordinates everywhere to summon demon race half-beasts to gather with it.

Ye Liuyun estimated that, by the time he reached the central region of this world, Mohu would be able to gather enough people to establish a dynasty.

However, Ye Liuyun did not stop it.

After all, in every battle, Mohu also brought these demon beasts to fight, neither dodging nor slacking.
