Chapter 2807: Reorganization

The duplicate side had time acceleration, so it progressed quickly, but the handover and reorganization on Duan Jiao's side took over a month.

Fifty thousand strong individuals and five million troops are not so easy to settle and reorganize.

Finally, Duan Jiao gathered seventy thousand Foreign Tribe members of Sixth Layer and above, forming an assault corps.

He divided them into seven squads, each led by a Ninth Sovereign Foreign Tribe.

He also assigned two Ninth Sovereign Foreign Tribe to command a 200,000‑strong elite corps.

The remaining four Ninth Sovereign Foreign Tribe were tasked with guarding Fu Yang, Long Ya, Huo Xi and other strong beings capable of carrying large numbers of Foreign Tribe.

Duan Jiao was the Grand Leader of this main army, and the Deputy Leader was Fu Yang.

Although Fu Yang no longer possessed Divine Soul Power and his attack was weak, his prestige remained.

Moreover, it was responsible for scouting enemy conditions and transporting the assault corps, a task that was also arduous.

The Foreign Tribe army was streamlined by Duan Jiao to five million; the more than 600,000 eliminated Foreign Tribe soldiers became cultivation resources for the assault corps and elite corps.

Duan Jiao and Fu Yang instantly eliminated 600,000 of their own, a boldness that even Ye Liuyun greatly admired.

He also recalled the other five route armies.

He let them leave the remaining Foreign Tribe star systems for Duan Jiao's main army to practice on.

Ye Liuyun's five route armies obtained a good amount of resources.

Some resources they could not use were exchanged with Duan Jiao.

But their numbers suffered severe reductions.

Yu Xiaofeng's army fell to under 800,000, Qin Peng's to 600,000, Yuan Hao's to over 700,000, and the Quishan route to under 500,000.

Xiao Yunfang and Meng Qingyin fought most conservatively, gaining the fewest resources, and were left with just over 800,000.

The Martial Cultivator strongmen's armies on each route were reduced to fewer than 7,000, almost all of whom were members of the Spearhead Unit.

Ye Tiandao, seeing the Spearhead Unit suffer such losses, couldn't help feeling very distressed.

Ye Liuyun ordered Duan Jiao to lead the Foreign Tribe main army on a campaign, beginning to sweep all Foreign Tribe star systems in this area.

He also had Yu Xiaofeng and Ye Tiandao begin reorganizing the main army and the Spearhead Unit.

Following Duan Jiao's approach, better to have a shortage than excess.

He compressed the Spearhead Unit to 30,000 and the main army to three million.

The eliminated soldiers were handed to Pei Yong to keep as reserve manpower.

Then the resources were concentrated and allocated to the restructured main army, allowing their strength to improve further.

So Yu Xiaofeng, together with the leaders of each route and Ye Tiandao, first selected personnel to form the Spearhead Unit.

The people eliminated from the Spearhead Unit were naturally taken by each Leader.

After the Spearhead Unit underwent recovery training, they began cultivating within the duplicate's Space World.

These Spearhead Unit soldiers were former members, so they needed no lengthy retraining—just direct cultivation to boost strength.

Then Yu Xiaofeng and the various Leaders began selecting troops.

Yu Xiaofeng became Grand Leader, while Qin Peng and Yuan Hao served as Deputy Leaders.

The rest were corps Leaders.

The restructured three‑million main army also required integration training.

After training, Ye Liuyun sent them out to attack several Foreign Tribe planets.

It took a full three months to completely finish the reorganization of this main army.

At this point, Duan Jiao also eradicated all Foreign Tribe star systems in this area, then returned for a status report.

The duplicate gathered them all into the Space World, and after confirming everything was fine, released them again.

After letting them recuperate for a while, they began dispatching troops again, continuing toward the Foreign Tribe's old stronghold.

Their deployment consisted only of some Foreign Tribe strongmen aboard Spirit Cat warships, not a massive marching army.

With such a small target, they were less likely to be detected by the Foreign Tribe.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun and the Human Martial Cultivators with the main army comfortably cultivated within the duplicate's Space World.

The duplicate would occasionally emerge to scout the Xingkong situation for them, then return to cultivation.

Duan Jiao and Fu Yang, both Elders of the Foreign Tribe, were more familiar with all aspects of the tribe, so leading troops against it was a breeze.

Their main army, unless deliberately intercepted by the Foreign Tribe, was virtually unstoppable.

Therefore, the Foreign Tribe's Elder Council also knew this situation.

So they quickly dispatched two Foreign Tribe Elders, who brought a 500,000‑strong army from the old stronghold to confront Duan Jiao and Fu Yang.

This 500,000‑strong Foreign Tribe army was composed of various tribes, all uniformly clad in golden armor.

They were not only fully equipped; their realms ranged from Sixth to Ninth Sovereign, a mix of levels.

It could be called a well‑trained strong‑man corps.

On Duan Jiao's side, the assault corps numbered only 70,000.

And their realms were also uneven.

In this golden‑armor Foreign Tribe corps, there were already 1,000 Ninth Sovereign members.

So despite being only 500,000 strong, this powerful corps could easily overwhelm Duan Jiao.

The warships they rode were much faster than the previous massive warships, though they lacked space‑traversal capability.

This shows the Foreign Tribe's forging technology is indeed lacking.

The main army's Principal Leader was an Eighth Sovereign Foreign Tribe wearing red scale armor.

The Deputy Leader's realm was higher than the Principal Leader's, being a Ninth Sovereign Foreign Tribe in black armor.

The Leaders also wore gold armor, though the style differed from that of ordinary soldiers.

Their warships and battle flags each bore a golden tiger head, so the Foreign Tribe called them the Golden Tiger Corps.

Among the Foreign Tribe they are very famous and have never been defeated.

They have campaigned on many Xingqiu, fought many pivotal wars, and wherever they go not a blade of grass remains.

Therefore they are confident; a half‑million army dares to dispatch troops against a five‑million army.

Ye Liuyun, through Soul Search of Duan Jiao and Fu Yang, learned quite a bit about the Foreign Tribe.

When he spotted three Faction members clad in golden armor patrolling in Xingkong, he immediately realized they might be the Golden Tiger Corps of the Foreign Tribe.

He promptly confirmed with Duan Jiao and Fu Yang, and without doubt verified that it was indeed the Golden Tiger Corps.

Thus Ye Liuyun immediately ordered his clone to capture Duan Jiao and the other Foreign Tribe elites, then he donned the Invisibility Cloak and quietly approached the three Faction patrol soldiers.

The three soldiers were indeed well‑trained and highly alert; sensing a fluctuation of Spatial Power, they halted at once, one reported to the corps, and the other two shielded him and went on guard.

"Indeed, they are well‑trained!"

Although Ye Liuyun praised them inwardly, his action was decisive: employing Time Power, he placed a Slave Seal on each of the three golden‑armored Faction members, then immediately performed Soul Search.

"This corps responded quickly; the elites are already on their way!"

Through Soul Search, Ye Liuyun learned that their army already includes a twelve‑person Dominion Ninefold Squad, which is surrounding this place.

These elites move extremely fast; it should not be long before they arrive.

Yet Ye Liuyun's speed still lags far behind that of the Dominion Ninefold elites, so he will likely find it hard to escape.

But he reconsidered, "If I could capture a few Dominion Ninefold Foreign Tribe members, that would be nice!"
