Chapter 2373: Wandering Everywhere

The enemy Leader didn't expect that the ferocious beasts kept charging forward, and when their speed slowed, they began to slash to both sides.

The elite soldiers at the rear, however, under the leadership of Pei Yong and Ye Liuyun, surged into their massive army.

These elite troops already had decent formation practice, and after Pei Yong guided Ye Liuyun's formation, they quickly integrated it, generally operating in three‑person squads to swiftly kill the opponents.

Thus, once they spread out, the enemy forces fell in large sections, unstoppable like a bamboo split.

The enemy Leader also sensed trouble, repeatedly ordering troops to block them.

But suddenly three Xuanwu Monster Beasts struck simultaneously.

That Leader and a Deputy Leader had their throats slashed on the spot.

Another Leader, more cautious, evaded the Shadow's killing blow.

He counterattacked immediately, but his palm struck the Shadow's shell.

The Shadow then recovered briefly, a claw sweeping across his throat.

Afterwards the three gathered the bodies and resumed killing the guards protecting them.

A group of guards immediately fell into chaos.

Illusion Hand and others weaved among them; even when hit, their shells could withstand the attacks.

This caused those guards to repeatedly strike their own comrades.

Without unified command, the army's units immediately lost coordination, and with the elite troops unstoppable, their rear unit began to retreat, trying to create distance.

But as the rear unit withdrew, soldiers immediately followed, and all troops turned into a scatter, racing to see who could run fastest.

"Stop them!"

Ye Liuyun instantly commanded the split ferocious beast groups to encircle them.

"Surrender! We surrender!"

The army began surrendering piece by piece.

Pei Yong left a few hundred men to seal the True Essence of the surrendering soldiers, while the other troops continued the pursuit, releasing everyone.

The ferocious beasts, swift as they were, swept around and intercepted the rear unit, encircling them.

Ye Liuyun also caught up with the rear unit's Leader and, using a Spiritual Soul Attack, placed a Slave Seal on him.

That Leader immediately led his soldiers to surrender, turned his blade outward, and corralled the fleeing soldiers back.

Then the number of surrendering soldiers kept rising, and Ye Liuyun achieved a complete victory.

In this battle, Ye Liuyun captured nearly forty thousand conscripted troops: over eight thousand soldiers of the Super‑God Realm, close to twenty thousand of the Ninth Realm, and the remaining ten thousand plus were essentially of the Eighth Realm.

It can be seen that the forces dispatched this time by the Marquis of Golden Spear had improved in strength compared to before.

【8】 Ye Liuyun had Pei Yong reorganize the troops, then prepared to set out and train.

After Ye Liuyun had Pei Yong reorganize, he prepared to set out and train.

"We can't stay here any longer! They'll definitely send a massive army next time!"

Ye Liuyun told Pei Yong.

Their current strength still cannot match an army the size of the Tiger Shark Legion.

"In five days, the army will depart.

All Martial Cultivators below the Ninth Layer Late Stage stay behind to hold the Marquis of Golden Spear's army; you only need to train the strong ones of the Ninth Layer Late Stage and the Super‑God Realm!"

"Yes!"

Pei Yong replied affirmatively and went to reorganize the troops.

He first had these conscripted troops sign loyalty contracts, then assigned them to guard the city, and thereafter left them alone.

The remaining soldiers, about ten thousand plus, were gathered and immediately began training.

The soldiers previously trained, after this battle, understood the benefits of training, no longer resisted, and could even motivate the newly added conscripted troops to undergo training.

Five days later, Ye Liuyun led this ten‑thousand‑strong Lingyun Corps to withdraw voluntarily and began moving to other cities.

When the hundred‑thousand‑strong army of the Marquis of Golden Spear arrived, the soldiers Ye Liuyun left behind fought desperately for two hours before being completely annihilated.

However, because these soldiers were defending the city and held the advantage, they inflicted some damage on the Marquis of Golden Spear's army.

After this army captured the small city, they rested here, repairing the local Teleportation Array, but before they finished, Ye Liuyun with the Lingyun Corps had already taken another city.

Using the same method, after breaching the city they destroyed the Teleportation Array and looted the City Lord's mansion, the merchants' guild, and several major households.

This place is not Ye Liuyun's territory, so he need not consider anything, fully expanding his forces and plundering resources.

He then left lower‑realm soldiers to guard the city and departed again.

From then on, Ye Liuyun roamed the Marquis of Golden Spear's lands with the Lingyun Corps causing trouble, while the hundred‑thousand‑strong army of the Marquis constantly chased after Ye Liuyun but never caught up.

After several pursuits, the Marquis of Golden Spear's army stopped chasing, went directly to nearby cities to locate Teleportation Arrays, intending to intercept Ye Liuyun ahead.

However, Ye Liuyun pulled the Lingyun Corps into the Space World, shifted to another sector, and continued guerrilla warfare.

For two to three consecutive months, Ye Liuyun led the Lingyun Corps wandering everywhere, sometimes withdrawing soldiers to blend into a city, never directly confronting the Marquis of Golden Spear's army.

The Marquis of Golden Spear's army was so angry they spat blood.

They even, due to the Marquis of Golden Spear's displeasure, replaced the army's Leader.

In the end, the Marquis of Golden Spear, helpless, sought aid from Marquis Wanwei, but Marquis Wanwei refused, citing the stationed troops lacked a Leader.

Having no choice, the Marquis of Golden Spear requested support from Zhenxing Wang, borrowing a two‑hundred‑thousand‑strong army from other regions for garrison.

At this point, Ye Liuyun's Lingyun army had exceeded fifty thousand, all of whom were pure Super‑God Realm elites.

Marquis Wanwei was overjoyed, granting Ye Liuyun abundant resource support and providing information.

"Zhenxing Wang mobilized ten thousand troops from two other marquisates and sent them over."

Ye Liuyun immediately understood, leading his troops to rush to the area where the army had been drawn, seizing resources and Martial Cultivator elites again.

The Lingyun Corps continued expanding, reaching a hundred thousand men, and Ye Liuyun finally could pause to rest.

These events left Zhenxing Wang feeling deeply frustrated.

He knows someone is deliberately causing trouble, yet cannot find the culprit.

Although he also suspected Marquis Wanwei, because Mu Yuantang was killed.

But he also had no evidence, and could not find out who was helping Marquis Wanwei take action, so he could only have all regions prepare defenses and precautions.

However, Ye Liuyun's Lingyun Legion suddenly vanished without a trace.

"One hundred thousand people, where have they all hidden?"

Zhenxing Wang flew into a rage, summoning the ten marquises and leaders under his command, and let out a tirade.

But these people were also completely bewildered.

"Marquis Wanwei, is there still a vacancy for the garrison commander?"

He asked Marquis Wanwei.

"Yes, please, Your Highness, quickly appoint a commander."

"Otherwise, I am also very worried about the safety of the Wanwei region."

"Not long ago, I even suffered an assassination attempt!"

Marquis Wanwei knew that this garrison commander, Zhenxing Wang would certainly arrange a person for, and would not let him appoint someone, so it had simply remained vacant all along.

After Mu Yuantang was killed, Zhenxing Wang had been considering candidates, but then his attention was scattered by Ye Liuyun's harassment, and he never got around to it.

But now it seems, some commanders are beyond his ability to transfer.

So the troops here under Marquis Wanwei, he will immediately arrange someone to take over.
