“Mr. Guo, did the lord mention that he has commenced recruiting soldiers?” Song Yubai arrived at the Green Cloud Pavilion with an excited expression.
With only around 11,000 Red Lotus soldiers remaining, he had suffered the most significant losses during the battle against the Forest race. Upon hearing about the recruitment of soldiers, his expression naturally filled with excitement.
Guo Jia looked at the three of them and nodded.
He had already asked Qing Feng to paste notices in the two cities. He was waiting for Song Yubai and the other two to return.
“That’s right. When Qing Feng returns, you can go to the Warlord Bastion to officially recruit soldiers.”
Guo Jia nodded slightly. He knew that Mei Changge planned to expand the recruitment of the three soldier types.
20,000 Red Lotus soldiers.
20,000 Mystic Yang soldiers.
10,000 Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry.
A total of 50,000 soldiers.
“By the way, Yubai, how is Zhang Xiang doing among the Red Lotus soldiers now?”
Guo Jia looked at Song Yubai. Ever since Zhang Xiang became a Red Lotus soldier, it was as if he had disappeared. There was no news at all.
“He’s cultivating. The lord asked him to reach the Innate realm as soon as possible. I heard that he’s already cultivated to Postnatal Level 7.”
Song Yubai pondered for a moment before speaking. He had brought Zhang Xiang back from the Forest race, and he hoped that Zhang Xiang could take another step forward in his development.
Furthermore, he knew that Zhang Xiang had experience on the battlefield.
“Hmm, looks like he’s feeling the pressure.”
Guo Jia smiled and looked at Lin Zifeng again.
“Zifeng, Xu Chu has been summoned by the lord. How are the Mystic Yang soldiers now?”
“Mr. Guo, don’t worry. There’s no problem at all!”
Lin Zifeng’s expression turned serious as he said to Guo Jia.
While there had been some initial chaos, he was still one of the senior members of the Mystic Yang soldiers. He had firmly established his position as the commander of the Mystic Yang soldiers.
“My lord, I’m back.”
At that moment, Oing Feng walked in and cupped his hands at Guo Jia.
“All settled?”
When Guo Jia saw Qing Feng return, he nodded slightly and took out a book.
“Qing Feng, this book is called the Green Lotus Registry. From today onwards, you will go to the Warlord Bastion.”
Guo Jia handed the book to Qing Feng and said softly.
Qing Feng had been nurtured by him single-handedly. Although Qing Feng was still somewhat inexperienced, under his guidance, he was ready to graduate officially.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“My lord…”
Qing Feng’s eyes were filled with confusion. He did not expect Guo Jia to let him go to the Warlord Bastion.
“The Green Lotus Registry is the distinctive household registration system of the Green Lotus Territory. It’s an item the lord has designated for the Warlord Bastion.”
“From today onwards, all soldiers will be recorded on the registry.”
Guo Jia said with a serious expression.
“Qing Feng, from today onwards, you will be in charge of the Warlord Bastion’s
Green Lotus Registry and will report to the lord directly.”
Guo Jia placed the Green Lotus Registry in Qing Feng’s hand and said solemnly.
“Yes, my lord!”
Qing Feng’s expression turned serious.
“Go on. Your duties will keep you occupied even after the recruitment of soldiers is completed.”
Guo Jia patted Qing Feng’s shoulder with a satisfied expression.
“We shall take our leave now, Mr. Guo!”
Song Yubai cast a brief glance at the thin Qing Feng and turned to Guo Jia. Afterward, the three of them departed from the Green Cloud Pavilion, with Qing Feng accompanying them.
“Looks like I’ll have to train another assistant.”
Guo Jia shook his head slightly as he watched Qing Feng being taken away by Song Yubai and the others.
Nonetheless, it’s about time to inspect the progress of Old Zhao’s Green Brick project. The lord has tasked me with overseeing the expansion of Green Lotus
City.
At this thought, Guo Jia headed toward the Nine Yang Forge.
When he arrived at the Nine Yang Forge, he found that it was bustling with activity.
Yellow-Scarved soldiers walked around the forge with sweat on their foreheads.
Green Bricks were taken out from the furnace and piled on the cart at the side.
Guo Jia was aware that these Green Bricks were refined by the Yellow-Scarved soldiers, who had seemingly been working on Green Brick production in the forge lately. He remained uncertain about the exact quantity produced.
Guo Jia walked to the Nine Yang Forge and a fiery aura pounced on him.
“It’s quite warm in this forge.”
Guo Jia headed straight for the attic.
In the Nine Yang Forge, other than the furnace, there was also a three-story pavilion.
Moreover, the pavilion surrounded the forge.
“Mr. Guo.”
As he walked in, many people greeted him. Guo Jia nodded slightly in response.
Many of the Yellow-Scarved soldiers were individuals he had encountered when he expanded Green Cloud City, and quite a few of them recognized him.
Shortly, he reached the pavilion. Upon entering it, he noticed that the burning sensation on his body had significantly diminished as if he had entered a cooler environment.
“Mr. Guo?”
At that moment, Zhao Decai walked out of the attic. When he saw Guo Jia, his face was filled with surprise.
“Mr. Guo, I was about to look for you.”
Zhao Decai saw Guo Jia’s arrival and said with a smile.
“What a coincidence!”
When Guo Jia heard his words, he smiled.
“I have been working on the Green Bricks. Furthermore, I’ve researched the thing that could fix the Green Bricks together.”
Zhao Decai brought Guo Jia to his room and took out something similar to the Flame Summit as he spoke.
“This can fix the Green Bricks together?”
Guo Jia’s countenance bore a look of curiosity. It resembled the Flame Summit in appearance, but it lacked the flames and instead appeared to be an ordinary rock.
“That’s right. I call this the Fusion Rock. It can firmly bind two Green Bricks together.”
Zhao Decai said with a smile.
Coincidentally, there was a furnace in his room. Zhao De placed the rock in the furnace and burned it.
“This Fusion Rock will turn into a green liquid after being heated by the flames.
As Zhao Decai spoke, he took out two Green Bricks.
Before long, the Fusion Rock appeared to have transformed into a green liquid. Zhao De poured it onto one Green Brick and covered the other with it.
“In just a few moments, these two Green Bricks will be hermetically sealed and firmly bonded together.”
With a smile on his face, Zhao Decai pointed at the Green Bricks that were stuck together.
“Well done. We can use it when Green Lotus City expands.”
Guo Jia examined the fused Green Brick and nodded in approval.
“That’s great news. If the city doesn’t start expanding, my Nine Yang Forge will be filled with Green Bricks!”
Upon hearing Guo Jia’s words, Zhao Decai smiled and contemplated how the 5,000 Yellow-Scarved soldiers were tirelessly crafting Green Bricks. He mused that if not for the spatial bag, the Nine Yang Forge would likely be filled to capacity.
“Yes, my visit this time is aimed at the expansion of Green Lotus City. The next steps involve opening the Green Cloud Pavilion and the Creation Workshop, all part of the plan to enhance Green Lotus City.” “This is also what the lord instructed me to do.”
Guo Jia nodded.
“Alright, the Creation Workshop will follow your lead.”
“Very well, I’ll dispatch someone within three days. The infrastructure department of the Creation Workshop will have a busy schedule ahead.”
In the end, they agreed to commence the expansion of Green Lotus City in three days’ time. The Yellow-Scarved soldiers in the forge would also contribute to the expansion effort, transforming it into a bustling city with a population of one million.
They discussed a few minor details before Guo Jia departed from the Nine Yang Forge.
On the other side, Song Yubai and the other two brought Qing Feng back to the Warlord Bastion.
“Generals, Mr. Guo has arranged for the recruitment of soldiers. In a while, I will arrange for someone to inform the commoners in the two cities.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“The three of you will personally select the soldiers.”
Qing Feng spoke up, explaining that the process of enlisting in the army would only proceed once everyone had become soldiers. For the time being, the three of them needed to personally screen and select the commoners.
“Alright, send someone to inform the people in the two cities.”
Song Yubai nodded. Soon, Qing Feng arranged for men to put up notices in Green Lotus City and Green Cloud City.
Moreover, the location was far outside Green Cloud City.
Choosing soldiers proved to be a straightforward task. For the residents of the Green Lotus Territory, as long as individuals met the appropriate age and physical criteria, there were generally no issues.
Nonetheless, owing to the accessibility of cultivation methods, virtually everyone in the Green Lotus Territory had set foot on the path of cultivation.
Nevertheless, there were now certain criteria to be met, including being above Postnatal Level 3.
Mei Changge, who was cultivating in the Green Cloud Palace, immediately sensed that many people were rushing from Green Lotus City to Green Cloud
City.
It seems that Feng Xiao has asked Song Yubai and the rest to start recruiting soldiers!
Mei Changge opened his eyes, discontinuing his cultivation of the Golden Crow Art. He then turned his attention to the Snow Wolf not far away, which was currently inspecting the Bright Moon Vase.
At that moment, the Bright Moon Vase sported branches, indicating that it had absorbed a significant amount of moonlight energy and was now beginning to bloom with Bright Moon Osmanthus.
Due to the presence of the Bright Moon Osmanthus, the Green Cloud Palace started exuding the sweet fragrance of osmanthus, making it seem as though the hall was enveloped in osmanthuses.
“Come here.”
Mei Changge looked at the Snow Wolf crouching beside the moon vase and summoned it.
Despite the presence of “Snow” in its name, the Snow Wolf had no actual association with snow.
After Mei Changge signed a contract with it through the contract paper, he realized the true ability of the Snow Wolf.
Meanwhile, the word “Snow” described its appearance. The fur on its body was as white as snow.
The Snow Wolf could effortlessly navigate through any array, much like the spirit of the array formation itself. This was the very reason why the Red Prison Array had proven ineffective against it earlier.
In the array, it could come and go as it pleased.
Howl!
Upon hearing Mei Changge’s summons, the Snow Wolf approached his side and gazed at him with its large eyes as if inquiring whether it was mealtime.
“Alright, stop acting cute.”
Looking at the Snow Wolf, Mei Changge could not help but laugh.
Despite its youth, the Snow Wolf’s acting skills were undeniably impressive. Nevertheless, Mei Changge still retrieved a bottle of White Jade Lotus Wine and tossed it to the pup.
Howl!
Upon spotting the White Jade Lotus Wine, the Snow Wolf’s eyes sparkled with delight. It vocalized its appreciation to Mei Changge and scampered away happily.
“Let’s see how Yubai and the others are doing!”
Mei Changge extended his consciousness to encompass the Blessed Land and promptly located Song Yubai and the rest outside Green Cloud City. His form flickered and vanished from the Green Cloud Palace.
At that moment, outside Green Cloud City, Xu Ding was riding a light blue-furred Nine Howling Wolf and staring at the tens of thousands of people below with a serious expression.
There were nearly 40,000 of them. They were all commoners who had come to register and hoped to join the army.
Concerning enlistment in the army, virtually all residents of the Green Lotus Territory would register as long as they met the age criteria and possessed the required strength..
