Chapter 2372: Heartfelt and Sincere Submission

Wang Wei watched Ye Liuyun's battle on the city wall, his emotions surging.

"We won, we really won! We fought head‑on against ten times the enemy!"

Wang Wei was thrilled inside, and he was wholeheartedly convinced by Ye Liuyun.

Moreover, through this battle Ye Liuyun expanded the army to five thousand; at this rate, before long he could form a truly strong army.

But Ye Liuyun himself was not very satisfied.

After he preliminarily reorganized the troops, he brought the unit back into the city.

Then he used the Black Tower to make a trip to the Divine Realm, bringing Pei Yong back to help train the army.

Yu Yao trained the troops earnestly, but the intensity was still insufficient.

Not as experienced as Pei Yong.

Moreover, Pei Yong was experienced in handling reinforcement troops; with him around, these matters needed no worry from him.

Ye Liuyun also secretly reminded Pei Yong not to reveal his identity and told him his current situation.

Pei Yong was also a sharp person, knowing how serious it was.

His clone also immediately helped him, buying an identity tag so he wouldn't miss any details.

Fortunately, Wang Wei did not interfere much in Ye Liuyun's affairs, merely assisting from the side, silently observing, which also made him a qualified supervisor.

Ye Liuyun then called Wang Wei over and discussed: "You also saw the effect of this battle.

What I want is an elite force.

I currently estimate the elite force will be about two thousand or fewer.

I need resources, mainly medicinal pills.

Please discuss with the marquis to see if he can directly provide them.

If not, could you give us divine crystals so we can exchange them ourselves?"

Ye Liuyun's ultimate goal is to recruit alchemists and weaponsmiths, but his corps is still too small to make such demands, so he can only proceed slowly.

"Good!"

Wang Wei also thoroughly agreed this time.

He had also seen the strength of Ye Liuyun's army, making it easy to explain to Marquis Wanwei.

Moreover, when reporting to Marquis Wanwei, he also expressed his sincere admiration for Ye Liuyun, without exaggeration, letting the marquis feel that this investment was well worth it.

Thus Marquis Wanwei immediately agreed, providing Ye Liuyun with the requested amount of medicinal pills, and sent them directly to Wang Wei via the teleportation array disc.

Ye Liuyun also immediately gave these resources to Pei Yong, letting him distribute them as needed.

Yu Yao also followed Pei Yong, learning how to train soldiers.

As soon as Pei Yong took charge, Wang Wei and Yu Yao were dumbfounded.

Because in their view, Pei Yong didn't treat these soldiers as human at all.

But Pei Yong led by example, training alongside the soldiers.

Even Yu Yao had to join the training.

"Train hard now, you won't die! But on the battlefield, the slightest mistake will cost you your life!

Following my demands, I will turn you into the strongest soldiers.

Whether you want to kill others or be killed, you decide!"

The soldiers were initially unaccustomed, but seeing Pei Yong and Yu Yao training alongside them, they had nothing to say.

The elite troops Pei Yong selected numbered just over twenty‑five hundred, and in less than ten days of training he eliminated more than five hundred.

"Those who fail training or can't keep up, get lost to be cannon fodder—don't stay with us elites!"

While eliminating them, Pei Yong also mentally tormented these soldiers.

Many soldiers were just trying to save face, dragging things out with Pei Yong.

Pei Yong knew this, but didn't care at all.

Instead, he told Yu Yao: "Don't worry, after a few battles they'll be grateful to us!"

As training progressed, these soldiers became increasingly resilient.

After ten days passed with no new reinforcements arriving, this gave Pei Yong extra training time.

"Best if they come only after a month!"

Pei Yong hoped.

He thought that if the soldiers could maintain this intensity of training for a month, their strength would be even greater.

Ye Liuyun felt he didn't want to wait that long.

"If they come after a month, it will at least be a hundred‑thousand‑strong army, and we would struggle to deal with it.

I think they wouldn't actually use such a huge army against us.

Next time they come, at most it would be fifty thousand.

Moreover, it should happen in these two days.

Get ready for battle!"

"Sure, we can go onto the battlefield anytime!"

Pei Yong, however, wasn't worried about fighting.

What impressed Wang Wei and Yu Yao was that Ye Liuyun's prediction was spot‑on; a day later, the Marquis of the Golden Spear sent fifty thousand reinforcements.

"How do we fight?"

Pei Yong asked Ye Liuyun for instructions.

"Ordinary soldiers charge forward, while the beast herd follows behind to burst open a gap.

The Lingyun Regiment then rushes in!"

Ye Liuyun gave the order.

"Good!"

Pei Yong also immediately gave the order.

"Those ordinary soldiers…" Wang Wei felt it was a bit of a pity.

"There's no way, we can't carry them now! We can only let them be cannon fodder!"

Ye Liuyun also knows that treating Reinforcement Troops this way is somewhat cruel, but it's war; if we really let those elite soldiers charge at the front, we'll have no troops for the next battle!

After Pei Yong organized the soldiers, he still led the squad out of the city, adopting a stance of hard resistance against the enemy.

Likewise, the opponent still thought Ye Liuyun's side wouldn't deploy troops.

"Charge!"

At Pei Yong's command.

These Reinforcement Troops had already signed loyalty agreements, so even knowing it's a death sentence, they could only obey orders.

With no other choice, they went mad, howling as they charged forward, their momentum not weak.

Amid the tremor of footsteps, Ye Liuyun, following behind, checked the distance and suddenly released the ferocious beasts.

The beast packs silently accelerated along with the squad.

Then Pei Yong led the elite troops to close in behind the beast pack.

"Kill!"

The front troops opposite, upon seeing that the incoming were these lower‑level soldiers, no longer hesitated and charged straight at them.

"Illusion Hand, Shadow, Black Tortoise, the three of you go ambush those Leaders of the enemy!"

Ye Liuyun let those Black Tortoise Monster Beasts strike quietly, then he also charged forward with Pei Yong.

As soon as both sides engaged, battle cries rang continuously.

The cannon fodder Ye Liuyun sent out were harvested row by row.

"Accelerate!"

Ye Liuyun also issued a command to the beast pack.

"Roar!"

With a roar, Bai Hu caused the beast pack to accelerate instantly.

This distance was just enough for them to form a beast tide.

The front ranks consisted of huge, thick‑skinned beasts like Barbarian Oxen and Barbarian Bears.

Shi Yuan even petrified his Physical Body, then surged upward.

Vermilion Bird, Ice Blue and others rode on the backs of some ferocious beasts to launch elemental attacks.

These high‑level beasts, once they start running, cannot stop; even if their own comrades block their path, they simply ram them away.

"Hmph! Just a herd of livestock, only a few hundred heads, nothing to fear! Surround them to death, don't let a single one escape!"

Even the enemy Leader, upon seeing the beasts, was not too concerned.

If he wins this time, the Golden Spear Marquis will grant him many rewards, enough to offset these losses.

So what he wants is a total annihilation and great victory.
