Chapter 3730: Immediate Deployment

The Leaders were all interested in war; as for the five hundred thousand transport personnel, they recruited some from regional princes, reorganized them, and as long as the numbers added up, that was fine—they didn't mind.

"The God King's side has already taken action; we've pulled all these Death Legion reserve troops away. If a fight actually breaks out, can we hold on?" Ye Liuyun asked Yu Xiaofeng.

Yu Xiaofeng also thought the Leaders' suggestion feasible. They now have many troops but no war to fight. Without war they can't acquire resources and are just living off old reserves.

"Three hundred thousand of the Death Legion and the Demon Race's main army are enough to deal with the central dynasty. The rest, let Pei Yong recruit another two hundred thousand, start training immediately; not a big problem!"

Ye Liuyun instantly made a decision: "Then it's settled.

Qin Peng and Yuan Hao were in charge of leading troops to campaign, and also recruited ten thousand Mercenaries from the north for you as high‑end forces, brought along one hundred Cave Heaven Realm Kuailei, as well as Bai Hu, Shi Yuan, Red Flame, Vermilion Bird and Shadow monster beasts to assist.

Xiaofeng stays here, orders Pei Yong to immediately train two hundred thousand new soldiers as reserves. The Iron Army first cooperates with Ruo Bing to reorganize five hundred thousand troops, split into fifty‑thousand squads awaiting her dispatch.

"Yes!" the crowd answered in unison. Qin Peng and Yuan Hao replied most enthusiastically, immediately going to arrange troop movements.

Ye Liuyun promptly ordered Qiong Qi and other Formation Masters to set up several Teleportation Arrays linking the western, southern and northern regions, facilitating the army's movement and preparing to confront the central dynasty.

Then he arranged for members of the Meng family to come to the camp to sign a Divine Soul Contract, finalizing everything.

Whenever Ye Liuyun's army showed any movement, it caused a stir in the royal court, which thought he was finally going to strike the central dynasty.

"Logically, he wouldn't stay now to fight to the death with me, would he?"

The God King was also puzzled about what Ye Liuyun intended, especially such a massive troop redeployment at once.

Thus the entire royal court and several major powers were closely monitoring Ye Liuyun's activities.

But Ye Liuyun simply ignored their feelings and did whatever he wanted.

Meng Cangxuan and Meng Fei quickly arrived at the camp to sign the Divine Soul Contract, and each side contributed two people to the contract, including Lan Ruo Bing and Meng Fei, and the two of them would handle the daily affairs for both sides.

The Meng family only thought Ye Liuyun's army movement was to draw off the five hundred thousand transport troops. Only after the contract was signed did Ye Liuyun tell them they would dispatch five hundred thousand to the weakest Xing Xi.

The Meng father and daughter were shocked into a speechless gape.

"Young Master Ye doesn't even send someone to investigate?" Meng Cangxuan asked. He was worried that if Ye Liuyun lost, they'd blame them for inaccurate intel.

Ye Liuyun didn't mind much: "The distance is too great; sending people to scout before deploying would take too long for the round trip. Moreover the road is unsafe—scouts can be ambushed—so it's better to send the main army straight over and scout the situation then."

If the opponent's strength is too high, they can reroute, or just hit a planet for some training and return; the loss wouldn't be too great!

"Just hit any planet…" Meng Fei was left speechless by Ye Liuyun's casual attitude.

That's over half a million troops; the opponent is an entire Xing Xi, and he says to just attack—how careless!

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Ye Liuyun thought that with the Black Tower's teleportation, any danger could be instantly rescued.

Seeing his composure and confidence, Meng Cangxuan could only trust him, and immediately had his own merchant guild within that Xing Xi investigate the overall army deployment there, providing Ye Liuyun with reference.

After the father and daughter left the camp, Meng Fei couldn't help asking Meng Cangxuan: "Father, are you sure Ye Liuyun is mentally sound?"

"We let the results speak. Before results appear, we just cooperate with them as best we can. We've already signed the Divine Soul Contract, and attacking the Xing Xi for exclusive monopoly was already within the contract."

Meng Cangxuan was relatively calm, neither overestimating nor…

…underestimating; everything is judged by results. Especially matters of marching and fighting, he doesn't understand, let alone casually predict outcomes.

Meanwhile, the central dynasty, nervous, ordered border garrisons to stay on full alert all day, and dispatched one hundred thousand Imperial Guard to the western, southern and northern borders as reinforcements.

The God King hadn't received any confirmation from Ye Liuyun about attacking him, so he could only take preventive measures as best as possible.

Lǐ Chengfēng also received the news, told Ye Liuyun, and casually asked why Ye Liuyun was moving troops.

Ye Liuyun didn't hide anything, and told him about the cooperation with the Meng family.

Lǐ Chengfēng immediately grew nervous: "So Young Master Ye's cooperation with our Li Family…"

"You don't need to worry, our cooperation continues, and we will expand beyond the domain in the future. The outside realm is vast; the Meng family can't finish it. The troops I have aren't limited to that five hundred thousand; later someone will pave the way for you."

Moreover, I've spoken with the Meng family, and they'll transfer all the central dynasty's merchant guilds to you; prepare funds to purchase them. Previously we collected a lot of free resources from merchants, which should be enough for you.

Lǐ Chengfēng finally relaxed. But he also marveled at how grand Ye Liuyun's goal was, far beyond just a single central dynasty.

But that's for the future. Right now the Li Family needed to celebrate quickly. Within a few days Ye Liuyun helped them secure the merchants and the Li Family, turning them into the central dynasty's monopolized merchant guild—a goal they had long dreamed of.

When Ye Liuyun received the troop movement information, he was even happier.

Yu Xiaofeng laughed: "Didn't expect that a casual troop shuffle would make the royal court this nervous; seems they have something hidden!"

But that's an unexpected gain—it actually tested their defensive forces. Each border only has two hundred thousand guards, which isn't enough for us to fight!

Ye Liuyun also laughed: "We should start preparing. I'll go to the north to check the situation, then bring ten thousand Mercenaries over to supplement your high‑end forces.

Then I'll take some Mercenaries to the east to see if we can seize it as well. If Wang Tianqi makes a move, the north will focus on defense while you and the Demon Race launch the main attack."

"Good!" Yu Xiaofeng also agreed.

Ye Liuyun also allocated a good number of Sun Que's Cave Heaven Realm first‑ and second‑layer Martial Cultivators, whom Sun Que considered unworthy, to Yu Xiaofeng.

These individuals lack combat strength as Martial Cultivators, but if added to the army, their impact would be significant. It's rare for a large force to contain such realm‑level elites.

He immediately returned to start cultivation, using a golden egg to absorb energy, breaking his realm to the mid‑stage of the Seventh Layer of Taixu.

During the battle with the God King, he felt his own realm was insufficient; even wielding the Godslaying Bow couldn't defeat the opponent. His opponent's realm kept rising, and he was falling behind; if he doesn't intensify cultivation now, he'll never get a chance to act.
