Chapter 5670 Controlling the City Lord
Ye Liuyun estimated that the city lord focused on recruiting troops from big families, which prevented these families from developing.
This should also be a way to control power.
"And fifteen or twenty years from now, who will remember those who joined the army? When the dynasty says they died in battle, they won't be able to do anything!"
He thought in his heart that it wouldn't matter if he gave away some of the Song family's people.
However, he had to understand clearly the purpose of the city lord and the dynasty's conscription.
He also learned from the clan leaders of the conquered families that no one had seen any retired soldiers return to Moon City.
So he also asked the city lord: "If there is no war in the east, what is the use of the dynasty's conscription?"
"Although there is no war, we must maintain a standing military strength! The soldiers who retire every year should be replaced by new recruits!"
Liang Defang also explained to him.
"Then how many people does the city lord want me to send?" Ye Liuyun also asked Liang Defang.
"There are more retired soldiers from the dynasty this year, so the recruitment quota may be higher. How about preparing for 100 people?"
Liang Defang also asked tentatively.
"One hundred people?" Ye Liuyun pretended to be surprised.
Since the number of families here is not large, one hundred people are already equivalent to 30% to 50% of the number of people in a small family.
He would definitely not take out so many people easily.
Liang Defang was not surprised, he just said: "How about this, you choose some people to fight against my guards.
If you lose a game, just send me five people, and the upper limit will not exceed one hundred, how about? "
Ye Liuyun also understood that the city lord not only wanted people, but also wanted to take the opportunity to give him a blow.
He looked across the way and saw exactly twenty people. It seemed that they had been prepared for a long time.
"Isn't this... bad! Should I release all the guards I carry with me here?"
Ye Liuyun pretended to hesitate.
Liang Defang thought he was afraid, and deliberately said: "Then there is
What! We are all martial arts cultivators, so it is normal to make friends with martial arts!
And other families with slightly larger numbers use this method to decide how many people they will send. It was the Song family before.
This is our old tradition in Wangyue City! "
Before he came, the previous patriarch of the Song family reminded him that Ye Liuyun knew about this.
So he took advantage of the situation and said: "Well, since it is an old tradition, I will follow the rules!"
Liang Defang also nodded with satisfaction and asked him to release everyone.
Ye Liuyun also immediately notified Li Qingfeng and asked him to arrange for the twenty strongest martial arts cultivators to wear treasures that block the realm.
He also informed them that as soon as they came out, they would attack the city and make a quick decision.
As for the other guards, he and Ye Tianqi will also help deal with them.
After making arrangements, Ye Liuyun released Li Qingfeng and other powerful hunting team members.
As soon as Li Qingfeng and the others came out, they directly launched a soul attack on the city lord.
The city lord was also frightened. He didn't expect that they would dare to attack him suddenly.
But the next moment, Ye Liuyun urged Chaos Qinglian to stop time, and joined the ranks of attacking him.
Under his stasis of time, the souls of the city lord, Li Qingfeng and the two powerful men moved very slowly.
Ye Liuyun's soul rushed into the city lord's sea of consciousness and found that the power of his soul was indeed very strong, almost the same as Li Qingfeng's soul.
So he slowly waited for Li Qingfeng and the others to control the city lord's spirit, and then he would plant the slave mark.
Then he went to plant slave marks on the other guards.
The other guarding souls are not weak. It seems that the city lord's mansion is trying to prevent others from controlling them.
It's just these people
His soul power was still worse than that of Ye Liuyun, and he controlled them all.
Then he restored the flow of time and began to search for Liang Defang's soul.
After searching, he found the problem. Liang Defang actually knew that the soldiers sent out never returned.
But where he went, he didn't know. He just guessed that they were all used by the royal family to practice killing.
The families here are relatively small, which is related to the fact that the city lord's palace is trying to recruit troops from big families. .🅆.
The bigger the family, the easier it is to be targeted by the city lord's mansion.
However, Ye Liuyun felt that his guess was unreliable.
Even if the royal family trains with soldiers, it is impossible to consume so much. He would have to understand the real reason later.
He also learned through soul searching that the city lord actually had to hand over 20% of his resources to the dynasty every year.
As for the spirit stones that were distributed, it was just a drop in the bucket to win the favor of the people in the city.
He controls several veins of high-quality black crystals, as well as several veins of bloodline crystals and soul crystals.
Each city lord also has a token in his hand to summon the strong. Those summoned by the token are the real strong ones, those who can fight across levels.
It's just that this city lord was unlucky and was controlled before he even had a chance to use the token.
What surprised Ye Liuyun was that the city lord had never entered the royal city and had never seen King Wanlong.
As far as he knew, most of the city lords had never met King Wanlong.
The royal city is usually closed. Without a summons from the dynasty, no outsider can enter the royal city.
Not to mention ordinary people can't get in, even these city lords are the same.
There was also the dragon clan. He had heard that the dynasty had no choice but to allow them to exist.
For other information, he only knew that the closer to the royal city, the larger the city, and the higher the level of the guards of the city lord's palace.
full moon
The city is close to the border, and the level of the guards is relatively low.
The closest city to them, Yueling City, was a large central city, with guards from the City Lord's Mansion at the sixth level of Xuan Dao.
Ye Liuyun was also considering at this time whether his control of these city lords would be regarded as integrating resources in the eyes of those strong people who managed resources.
If not, what if they take action against themselves.
"It's better not to ask. When the time comes, just pretend you don't know. At worst, we'll find that strong man in golden armor to save his life!"
Ye Liuyun decided not to disturb those strong men yet.
At least he has to wait until Demon Vine wakes up after breaking through the realm. Even if there is a fight, he has the ability to protect himself.
He also immediately dealt with the problem at hand. Now that the city lord is under control, let’s get the resources first.
He asked the city lord to find all the Xuandao realm guards in the mansion and plant slave marks on them all.
He also gathered other people in the city lord's palace together, signed a loyalty contract to be loyal to the Ye family, and asked them all to keep it secret.
There are not many people in the city lord's mansion, less than a thousand people in total, which is easy to handle.
Then he took over all the resources from the city lord.
"Good guy, you have enough resources to build a family of 100,000 people in the west!"
After seeing those resources, Ye Liuyun sighed that the east was really rich.
The resources in the hands of this city lord alone are enough for him to support an army of 100,000 people.
Then he asked the city lord to secretly help him collect metal resources. Everything else will be fine as usual, no big changes are needed.
"You try to gather as many soldiers as possible, and I will make up the rest for you!"
He had not forgotten the matter of recruiting soldiers. He had to let the city lord complete the task no matter what, so as not to attract the attention of the dynasty.
Liang Defang also agreed repeatedly and did not dare to disobey Nu Yin's order.
