Chapter 969: Chapter 672: Discussing Cooperation with the City Lord
At this mont within Youzhou City, the news of the failed expedition against Thousand Peaks Mountain had already reached the City Lord of Youzhou’s ears.
However, the City Lord sitting inside the City Lord Mansion seed completely unsurprised, as if everything was within his expectations.
A personal guard beside him said, “My lord, what should be done now? With the failed expedition, the morale is likely to drop again, isn’t it?”
The City Lord suddenly stood up and smiled, “This is the most normal outco. The Demon Chief of Thousand Peaks Mountain is not so easy to deal with. Although Du Feng, the leader, is of the Red Feather Demon Clan, his cultivation level is just slightly weaker than mine. If those worthless ones could defeat them, they wouldn’t have been able to occupy Thousand Peaks Mountain for so many years.”
The personal guard beside him seed to not quite understand and asked, “Then why did my lord still incite these people to attack Ganfeng Mountain?”
“Is the success or failure of the expedition important?”
The City Lord gave a cold glance at the personal guard beside him. “I never thought it could succeed, I just wanted to manipulate their emotions!”
This made the personal guard even more confused: “But with the expedition’s failure, these people’s morale will surely plumt, how could they possibly…”
“Wrong.” The City Lord shook his head, “You have much to learn. Although the expedition failed, didn’t I already elevate the atmosphere to the highest before it began? Which of them wasn’t boiling with passion, otherwise why would they dare charge towards Thousand Peaks Mountain?”
The personal guard seed to have grasped sothing, but remained sowhat muddled, dazed.
“Did you not notice from the beginning to the end that their emotions were always under my control, whether they were high-spirited or in low spirits?”
“It’s natural that Thousand Peaks Mountain couldn’t be conquered, but if I use a little stratagem, to send experts against other demon leaders and ferocious beasts, wouldn’t their emotions be stirred once again?”
The personal guard’s eyes lit up, admiringly saying, “My lord’s plan is truly ingenious, first letting this group of fools witness Ganfeng Mountain’s prowess, then gradually accumulating montum. Once enough experts are trained, attacking Thousand Peaks Mountain again will be as easy as breaking bamboo!”
The City Lord nodded with satisfaction: “You’re not entirely foolish, but Thousand Peaks Mountain is not that easy to deal with. This plan is firstly to see what extent Ganfeng Mountain has developed to!”
“Secondly, it’s to keep these fools’ emotions in my hand, rising and falling, this is the way of the emperor!”
Nobody knew that the City Lord, who appeared as if he loved his people like children, harbored such malicious intentions.
Those demon clansn who lost their lives in vain were rely a part of his plan.
The City Lord of Youzhou slowly walked outside of his City Lord Mansion: “Let’s go, I must ensure that this news spreads among the surrounding towns and tribes, under the na of Ganfeng Mountain’s demonic leader’s tyranny and oppression of the people. Once there’s a call to arms, as long as the number is large enough, excellence can be pursued.”
The personal guard beside him asked in confusion: “But wouldn’t our resources beco scarce this way?”
The City Lord’s eyes carried deep aning: “Haha, in military life, going out to slaughter ferocious beasts, to wipe out bandits, there will always be sacrifices, won’t there?”
This finally made the personal guard understand why the City Lord had just called it ‘excellence through competition’!
With an extrely large number of people, Youzhou City naturally couldn’t support such a multitude of soldiers.
But the larger the number, the stronger the competition.
By finding a pretext, those demons who are not strong enough can be expelled from the army.
Otherwise, their only fate would be to die on the battlefield.
“In this world, it’s the law of the jungle, there’s no reasoning. We with high nobility can survive here safely. Those of low bloodlines can only fight in the army, becoming cannon fodder for the assault against the Imperial Dynasty.”
The City Lord looked at the demons coming and going within Youzhou City, as if he had seen through the true essence of this Demon World.
There are not many high-quality individuals among the demon clans, most are low-ranking demons.
But it is these demons that have provided them with an excellent living environnt.
The City Lord of Youzhou walked to the gate, where countless demons were gathered, and the City Lord of Youzhou delivered another emotional speech.
No more than promising not to mistreat the citizens upon joining the army.
They would receive extrely high benefits and there would be a path for promotion.
Those demons who had never encountered the outside world, of course, held expectations in their hearts.
They imagined themselves being granted titles, such prominence soday?
Afterwards, indeed many people began to sign up and join.
The personal guard nearby couldn’t help but admire this strategy of his lord was indeed high enough, these new recruits can be used as nial workers, and can also serve as cannon fodder to eliminate surrounding threats!
The City Lord gave a faint smile: “This is just the beginning.”
Just as the City Lord had returned to his City Lord Mansion, suddenly, a panicked voice ca from outside.
“My lord, sothing bad has happened!”
The City Lord frowned and looked outside, noticing two people entering the City Lord Mansion one after the other.
The personal guard beside him was also sowhat fearful, not daring to approach these two people.
Seeing these two, the City Lord’s expression also changed.
“How audacious, both of you are a Think Tank under Du Feng and a key figure under Du Feng, daring to enter my City Lord Mansion in broad daylight?”
The City Lord imdiately recognized these two, as all belonging to the demonic bandits of Thousand Peaks Mountain.
