Chapter 848 An unexpected gain
"Shall we go to the territory to check the situation first? It is said that it is very chaotic there. Let me see how much power is needed to subdue it." Ye Liuyun suggested.
"That's fine! Let's go and see the situation and draw a map of the territory!" One Eye and others also want to go and see the situation of the territory.
So Ye Liuyun and others rushed to the fiefdom while waiting for the dynasty's reward.
On the way, Duyan suggested Ye Liuyun to give the fief a name. There is no name, and it is inconvenient to call him.
"Let's call it Yonglie Island." Ye Liuyun didn't bother to think about it, so he just called the fiefdom by its title name to make it easier for others to remember.
Therefore, this nameless island became Yonglie Island.
After Ye Liuyun gets the token, he reports it to the dynasty, and the name will be made public and recognized.
They took the super battleship and arrived at Yonglie Island in less than two days.
There are many low buildings sparsely built on the island. They are all temporary structures built by the people who live here.
Other places maintain primitive landforms, with many mountains, rivers and dense forests.
Ye Liuyun and the others flew around the island at high altitude, forming a map of Yonglie Island in their minds.
Then everyone began to discuss where to build the official residence, where to build the supply and trade area, and how to develop the rest of the area. They first made a rough plan.
Then everyone landed at a place on Yonglie Island where many martial arts cultivators lived.
The buildings here were arranged relatively neatly, and the number of houses was relatively large, so they judged that there were martial cultivators living here.
But when they landed, they realized that they had fallen into the robbers' den.
This is a larger group of robbers who use this as their base.
One Eye and the others looked at each other, not expecting that they would bring themselves to the mouth of the robber.
Ye Liuyun comforted them and said: "Don't panic first, let's see what the situation is. I have a way to deal with them."
He has the Ghost Butterfly and the Hundred Refining Soul Banner in his hand, and he is not worried about some robbers.
As soon as Ye Liuyun's battleship landed, they were immediately surrounded by the robbers here.
They stepped off the battleship and put the battleship away.
Ye Liuyun's eyes lit up as he looked at the robbers surrounding them again.
Some of the robbers were wearing soldiers' uniforms. However, they are not wearing complete outfits, and they look very old.
The weapons they used were even the crossbows used in the army.
Moreover, the robbers surrounding them were all lined up neatly, and the distance between them was about one foot. They were obviously trained.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" A man with a square face, a heavy back, carrying a sledgehammer, and riding a fire wolf asked sharply.
That man's realm is the same as that of the fire wolf under him, at the seventh level of creation.
Ye Liuyun stared at the Fire Wolf he was sitting on and asked, "What is your relationship with the Fire Wolf Corps?"
"Eh? You actually know about the Fire Wolf Corps?" The man became even more curious after hearing this. "Who are you?"
Hearing this, Ye Liuyun was even more certain that this person had something to do with the Fire Wolf Corps.
"Maybe there will be an unexpected harvest today!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself.
"I have just been named the Marquis of Yonglie. This island will soon be named Yonglie Island by me!" Ye Liuyun started chatting with the man.
After hearing this, the man took a look at Ye Liuyun's realm and asked with some confusion: "Why was your realm so low that you were granted the title of Marquis?"
"I accidentally discovered a secret of the foreign race and helped the Great Xia Dynasty disintegrate a large sect that had taken refuge with the foreign race." Ye Liuyun said simply.
The man believed a little and waved his hand, and the robbers surrounding Ye Liuyun and others immediately put down their weapons.
But he also said to Ye Liuyun: "The annihilation of the foreign tribes is indeed a hero. I will not rob you. But just a few of you want to conquer this territory? Do you really think that you can manage it directly with the rewards from the dynasty? Here?"
"Are you their leader?" Ye Liuyun asked.
"So what? You guys are not enough to get us out of here!" The man laughed heartily, showing his white teeth.
"What is your relationship with the Fire Wolf Corps?" Ye Liuyun ignored his words, but became concerned about his origins.
"I was originally the deputy commander of the Fire Wolf Corps. Because I didn't obey the princess's private orders, I was dismissed from my post and exiled here." When the robber leader saw Ye Liuyun insisting on asking him this question, he explained.
"What about them? Are they all trained by you?" Ye Liuyun asked the robbers around him again.
The bandit leader said frankly: "They are all the Imperial Guards who were implicated because of that incident. Like me, they did not follow the princess's instructions and were all punished here. In order to survive, we got together and fought. Started a robbery business."
Then he said: "We won't make it difficult for you. If you take over this place in the future, you can also leave us a piece of land. How about it?"
When he asked, his eyes were full of expectation.
The robbers around them also had expectations in their eyes.
They have lived here for a long time and considered it their home. If they were driven away again, they would have to compete with others for territory, which would inevitably lead to another fight.
"I want to build a powerful private army to protect the trade here. I need some of my own people!"
Ye Liuyun did not beat around the bush and directly expressed his thoughts.
"You?" The man looked at Ye Liuyun again and slowly shook his head. "Your level is too low, no one will obey you!"
"Everyone has been practicing since they were at a low level! Joining my private army is equivalent to clearing your name, which is better than being a robber!"
Ye Liuyun's words are very convincing to these people.
He could feel that some of the robbers were tempted.
They were all soldiers originally, but now they have become robbers, and they still don't recognize the name robbers. Now that there is an opportunity to restore the status of a soldier, of course he will be tempted.
The man thought for a long time and finally said: "If you can conquer the territory and prove that you have this ability, we will join you!"
Ye Liuyun added: "You will be my commander-in-chief and be responsible for all military affairs such as recruitment, management, and the security of the territory."
"Do you really trust me?" the man asked.
Ye Liuyun said calmly: "Let's sign an equal contract and agree on the responsibilities of both parties."
What Ye Liuyun said made the man somewhat unexpected.
"Equal contract? Are you sure it's not a master-servant contract?"
He thought Ye Liuyun asked him to sign a master-servant contract. For these brothers, he would actually sign even if it was a master-servant contract.
But Ye Liuyun didn't want to take advantage of him.
"I'm sure!" he confirmed.
