Chapter 2307: Lacking Strength

"Divine Crystal, who am I asking for it from?"

"Do you want to handle the handover?"

Ye Liuyun asked Zheng Huan.

Helpless, Zheng Huan also had to tell everyone the details of the contract they had signed with Ye Liuyun, and then appointed a descendant of an Elder as their representative.

Zheng Huan secretly also told him the Elder's instructions, letting him know that it was the Elder's petty tricks that had offended Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun then instructed the newly selected representative: "Go back and prepare five times the Divine Crystal to send to me."

"If I don't receive the Divine Crystal in three days, then I'll send troops to get it myself!"

After Ye Liuyun finished demanding the fee, he immediately implanted Slave Seals on all 220 Martial Cultivators, letting Ye Tiandao and Yuan Hao each take their share, then he led the troops back to the garrison.

He also took the opportunity to search Zheng Huan's Sea of Consciousness, confirming his earlier guess: it was indeed the Elders' bad idea, so he also stopped blaming Zheng Huan.

After Ye Liuyun led the troops away, those Martial Cultivators also returned to their own city-states, complaining along the way that Ye Liuyun was too unfeeling.

At this time, the new representative also made public what Zheng Huan had told him.

These Martial Cultivators could only say that their own Elders were a bit stingy.

They went back, first pooled their resources, gathered what they were to give Ye Liuyun, and first had someone send it to him.

Afterwards, they also began to re-elect Elders according to their original city-state system.

After the Elders were selected, these people began to study how to restore order to this world.

After Ye Liuyun received the resources, he then stored the armies of several legions into the Space World, allowing the dispatched legions to also all return.

Because Qiong Qi, through searching the soul of that Formation Master, learned that a legion of 100,000 would come to reinforce.

So Ye Liuyun also prepared to let Man Feng's 50,000 Imperial Guard and the Demon Race half-beast legion also undergo some training.

Qiong Qi and Tong Xin were also forging equipment for Man Feng and the half-beast legion, and even prepared the corresponding amount of equipment for Han Mutong's reinforcement troops.

But before Ye Liuyun's armies had all returned, the newly selected Elders of the local Martial Cultivators sent people to negotiate with Ye Liuyun, hoping that Ye Liuyun and his forces would immediately leave this world, otherwise they would go to war with Ye Liuyun.

Upon hearing their threats, Ye Liuyun was amused by them.

"You……do you have that kind of strength?"

Ye Liuyun retorted.

Those Martial Cultivators, facing Ye Liuyun's mockery, were also a bit embarrassed.

But they still proudly said: "We lack strength, but don't forget, we are not afraid to die!"

What no one expected was that Ye Liuyun suddenly agreed to their request.

"Good, I admire your courage and respect your choice! However, my great army is out there clearing the battlefield and gathering resources; they truly cannot come back."

"You guys have to give me some time to wait for them to return, right?"

"If you won't even give us this bit of time, then we can only go to war."

Those people, upon thinking, really dare not go to war with Ye Liuyun, for that would be tantamount to collective suicide.

So when they saw Ye Liuyun agree, they just wanted a bit more time, and immediately agreed.

After Ye Liuyun saw them leave, he immediately had the troops that hadn't returned yet stand by in place, waiting for him to arrive.

He then took the people around him and directly went to meet up with the great army.

"Are we leaving now?"

"Is there any point in fearing their threats?"

Zhao Hu asked Ye Liuyun in puzzlement.

Mo Tianheng, however, smiled and asked him: "It won't be long before the Holy Land's 100,000 reinforcements arrive! How long do you think those locals can hold out?"

Only then did Zhao Hu suddenly realize, and he burst out laughing.

Ye Liuyun also nodded with a smile: "Those locals! I originally wanted to help them a bit, give them a way to survive, but they're seeking their own death!"

Since they want to drive us away, let them bear it themselves; we'll go gather resources!

Ye Liuyun and company went to meet the great army; along the way, they took back Man Feng's Imperial Guard units and the Demon Race half-beast legion into the Space World and hid them.

Han Mutong and his 20,000 reinforcement troops, plus the newly subdued 5,000 reinforcement troops, were divided into over thirty routes to gather resources from various places.

This time they didn't need to sort them; upon encountering useful resources, they would directly collect them first, and later slowly sort and organize.

Thus the speed immediately increased.

By the time the Holy Land's 100,000 reinforcement troops arrived, Ye Liuyun and company had already gathered almost all the resources, and the soldiers who hadn't returned were only a few scattered hundred.

And the returning soldiers were all collected by Ye Liuyun into the Space World.

So when those 100,000 reinforcements arrived and saw no trace of any great army, they began to launch an attack on the cities here.

After Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil detected that their warships had arrived, he immediately recalled the soldiers still outside, collecting them into the Space World, then rushed to the landing point of the reinforcement army to observe their strength.

"Tiger Shark Legion!"

When they got close, Han Mutong immediately recognized the banner of that great army.

"Tell us about their situation."

Seeing that Han Mutong knew, Ye Liuyun had him describe to everyone the strength of that reinforcement army.

"The Tiger Shark Legion's combat power is much stronger than ours."

Their soldiers not only have a higher cultivation realm than ours, but are also equipped with better-quality armor.

Their armor has a small round shield on the left arm.

This round shield can emit a shield-shaped energy barrier, protecting the soldier's whole body, making it hard to break through their defense.

They also have a crossbow unit, using specialized crossbow bolts, with double the range of our crossbow bolts and great power; ordinary Martial Cultivators cannot block them.

They also have a unit of warwolf cavalry, riding a huge warwolf, which not only doubles their combat power but also moves very quickly.

Ye Liuyun also used his Golden Pupil from afar to confirm Han Mutong's description one by one.

"What Han Mutong said is not wrong; this great army is indeed very difficult to deal with."

Just didn't see their War Wolf Cavalry.

Han Mutong explained: "That cavalry unit is their main force; they won't easily bring it out to show people!"

Everyone's interest was aroused, observing the Tiger Shark Legion's battle on one hand and researching countermeasures on the other.

However, the remaining Martial Cultivators in the area basically pose no threat to this large army, so they don't need to go all out; they've been using crossbow bolts and melee combat together for siege warfare, and their cavalry unit has never appeared.

But even so, everyone could tell that this unit is tough to deal with.

Their soldiers' defensive abilities are too strong; compared to Ye Liuyun's Death Legion, they are missing a shield in their hands.

During combat, they can release the defensive shield on their arms as needed to block the opponent's attacks.

Ye Liuyun also specially summoned Qiong Qi to let him study whether their Energy Cannon could blast through those soldiers' energy shields.

"Huh, the design of this armor is actually not bad!"

Qiong Qi also praised it after seeing it.
