Journey of the Fate Chapter 98: The Rebellion

In the next few days, Wang Wei’s group slowly started to reorganize the military district and thoroughly control it.

Wang Wei was lucky because he soon realized that General Dong Wu was a person obsessed with power--especially when it cos to military or force.

In the entire Iron Wall City, the general controls any group that can be considered to be "arm force".

From the daily patrol of the city to the guards standing on the wall, from the martial art halls to the lawless gangs in the city. His hand reached in every aspect of these things. Even the escort service that rchants used to protect their goods had General Dong Wu’ secret hand behind the scenes.

Due to this, he essentially rendered all the nobles powerless. The only force that the nobles of Iron Wall City have are the guards that they secretly trained. Even then, the nobles were forced to control the number in order not to warn the general.

However, as a compromise, General Dong Wu handed all the political and economical power of this city to the nobles--as long as they do not interfere with the military’s livelihood.

Inside the General’s Manor, Wang Wei was reviewing a lot of information about the city’ situation when three people walked into his room. Without raising his head, he asked:

"Wang Ju, did you accomplish the task I gave you?"

"Yes, young master. General Dong Wu was hypnotized and wrote the edict. General 1 already left for the Fortress. However, despite many torture, the general refuses to acknowledge his allegiance."

"It’s not just him that is stubborn. Many of the soldiers in the army are loyal only to him and also refuse to obey our orders," added Li Jun.

Wang Wei thought for a few seconds before ordering to just execute these disobeying soldiers, however, he still kept Dong Wu alive. Given the fact he has the sa last na of this kingdom’s royal family, he might be useful in the future.

After that, Wang Wei asked Yan Liling if she had anything to report and she answered, "Big brother Wang Wei, we are running out of money, food, and spiritual materials."

"With the good deeds we did in the past six months, most of our wealth is almost gone. With you asking

to crush a few Nourishing Pills and add it to the food we serve the people of the common district, a lot of spiritual ingredients were used in the process."

"Not to ntion we had to secretly provide General 1 to 5 with special pills to bribe or woo the soldiers. Most of the gold, silver, and food we stole on our way from the capital is almost gone."

"Why did we have to put Nourishing Pills in the food we distributed in the common district," suddenly asked Li Jun.

"Well, it is because we need to train a strong army as fast as possible. The majority of people in the common district are weak, thin, and malnourished. However, they are still the main place necessary to recruit troops in the future."

"With the nourishing pills, a lot of strong n were brought back to peak physical conditions in just a few months, and many young people had established a strong foundation. As such, when we recruit troops there, not only will the people easily accept being enlisted, it will be easier and faster to train them into a powerful and usable army."

Everyone nodded after figuring out Wang Wei’s process. As such, Li Jun added: "Back in the sect, I’ve trained an army of cultivators before, but I have never trained a mortal army before. This should be an exciting experience."

"With these healthy people, it will be much easier for them to train in the Military’s Martial Arts."

Wang Wei agrees with Li Jun. This world’s martial arts make it easier to properly train an army--especially resources wise. Training a cultivating army takes countless ti and resources.

This is the reason that only the Blood Wolf Army under General Dong Wu is made up of cultivators.

After pondering for a while, Wang Wei said:

"You do not need to worry about the problem of money and materials. My next step of action will solve our problems."

After saying this, Wang Wei ordered Wang Ju to proceed to the next step of the plan.

A few days later, rchant District, in a public square, General 2 and 3 brought an elite group of soldiers. In front of them stood nurous rchants waiting.

Then, General 5 started reading out loud an edict drafted by General Dong Wu. As soon as he finished, a commotion appeared among the rchants.

"What, we have to hand 90% of our food and gold to the army!"

"It hasn’t been a year since the last food draft, and now, you are already asking for more?"

"Last ti we only had to offer 60% of our food, and now you are asking for 90%?"

"On top of that, you guys are also asking for our gold. How can we make any profit with how things are being run in this city?"

Countless people started arguing and denouncing General 2 and 3 for being ruthless. All the rchants were not happy.

"So, you guys are not willing to hand over the food and gold? Can I see your actions as an act of rebellion against General Dong Wu’s order?" said General 2 with a killing intent in his eyes.

Following him, the soldiers behind him also released their killing intent. As elite soldiers that have experienced countless slaughter, their killing intents were not sothing that a bunch of rich and fat rchants could bear.

So, the majority of them lowered their heads and decided to hand over their stored food, gold, and spiritual materials. However, a few people refused to backdowned. To them, money was more important than their life.

Without hesitation, General 2 ordered the soldiers to slaughter the people that resisted and confiscated all their wealth. After seeing the massacres of their fellow rchants, the rest of them beca obedient and did not hide anything.

As for those who thought they were smart and decided to hide the amount of wealth they had, they were soon discovered under the investigation of General 2 and 3. These people suffered the sa fate as the disobedient ones.

These were all Wang Wei’s orders. He had no sympathy for these rchants who leeched on the life of the common people. If it was not due to the fact that these rchants were a necessary part for him to build a prosperous dynasty, he would have taken all of their wealth instead of leaving 10% to them.

However, the sa cannot be said for the nobles of this city. If the rchants are just a chronic disease, then the nobles are malignant tumors. They all need to be destroyed.

And that is exactly what Wang Wei did. After securing the logistics of his team, he sent all the troops available in his hands to encircle the noble district and arrested all the nobles there.

Then, in front of all the people of the common district, he showed them evidence of the cris that these nobles had committed. With a recording crystal brought from his own world, Wang Ju and his spy group recorded all kinds of atrocious cris.

From raping, murder, selling children, and distributing drugs to the common peoople to get them addicted and prevent them from rising. So nobles even had so sick habits like eating people and children.

All these cris were exposed to the people. With this evidence and Wang Wei’s prestige as the "Wise Sage
