The sun had just risen. Outside the eastern city gate of the prefecture capital, a thousand Vanguard Battalion members were gathered under the leadership of the ten captains. Under Wang Gutong's command, the Vanguard Battalion was divided into ten teams and headed towards the distant forest.
The 10,000 city guards led by Wang Gu followed closely behind.
The Vanguard Battalion was made up of scattered cultivators, and their individual strength was much stronger than the City Guards. They were at least one major realm stronger. Without the help of the army formation, the Vanguard Battalion could easily take on ten City Guards.
The men in black on Ye Kuang's side were hidden in the forest, divided into many groups of more than a hundred men. A group like the Vanguard Battalion was perfect for dealing with them.
In order to motivate the Vanguard Battalion, the number of enemies they killed was used as points to exchange for all kinds of elixirs at King Dong's Mansion.
In a valley, a large Vanguard Battalion unit had arrived. Looking at the two hundred men in black in the valley, their eyes were filled with greed.
"This is a stronghold of the men in black. There are more than 200 of them. With the strength of our team, we can definitely take them all. However, alive and well is more valuable than dead heads, so you have to be gentle when you attack later.”The captain lowered his head and reminded the vice-captain beside him. He looked like a treasure he had taken a fancy to.
The living men in black would get twice as many points as the dead men. The points could be used to exchange for all kinds of pills in the Imperial Residence. Even if the pills were not used by them, they could still be sold at a good price.
"Captain, don't worry. We won't let these treasures lack anything!”a vice-captain promised.
They would never go against money.
"Captain, why do you think the East King's Mansion wants to capture these men in black alive? They clearly know that these people are Ye Kuang's men.”Another vice-captain asked suspiciously.
"You guys don't know about this, right? Right now, His Highness only controls a prefecture city and only has around sixty thousand soldiers under him. On the other hand, Great Marshal Ye Kuang has hundreds of thousands of elites. I don't need to tell you the difference between the two sides. If the East King Mansion wants to fight against Ye Kuang, they must have a huge army. However, the training of soldiers is not something that can be done in a day or two. Therefore, if the East King Mansion wants to gather a larger army in a short period of time, these men in black are ready-made.
As long as he subdued these people, they would become soldiers of the East King's Mansion!”the captain explained.
"I see. But the difference in strength between the East King's Mansion and Ye Kuang's army is so great. Can the East King's Mansion defeat Ye Kuang? If we deal with these men in black now, will Ye Kuang's people take revenge in the future?”The vice-captain understood, but he was a little worried.
"Based on my many years of life experience, the East King Mansion might not lose. Look at the East King Mansion's current development. They even dare to offend the Pill Pavilion, and the number of experts in the mansion is increasing. Moreover, Ye Kuang's army is being held back. He has more enemies than the East King Mansion. Just look at the White Armor Army of the Red East Stronghold helping the East King Mansion. I heard that the White Armor Army was involved in the reason why the enemies in the west of the county city were eliminated so quickly!”The captain said seriously.
"That's true. The East King's Mansion is getting stronger and stronger. Ye Kuang's blockade will soon be broken. Moreover, even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up. We are rogue cultivators.”The vice-captain agreed.
"No, I don't plan to leave the county city. After this battle, I plan to join King Dong's mansion!”The captain suddenly said in a deep voice.
"What? Great Captain, are you crazy? Joining the Imperial Residence is really going against Ye Kuang. At that time, you won't be able to leave even if you want to!”The two vice-captains were shocked.
"Don't say anymore. I've already made up my mind. Based on my many years of intuition, the East King's Mansion has the potential to soar into the sky. I plan to take a gamble. If the East King's Mansion really rises, then I will have a good future.”The captain said firmly.
"As for you, it's up to you to stay or go. I won't force you!”
"What are you talking about, captain? We've fought together for so many years. We'll go wherever the captain goes!”The two vice-captains said firmly.
"Good, good brother, then let's take action now. We'll try to capture more people alive and exchange them for pills to increase our cultivation. At that time, we'll have more capital to join the Imperial Residence!”the captain said happily.
"Kill with me!" After saying that, the captain jumped out and shouted. Then, he led a hundred members to attack the black-clothed man.
"Enemy attack!"
The men in black were in chaos. They picked up their weapons and began to fight.
However, facing the Vanguard Battalion that was stronger than them individually, these men in black were quickly defeated and fell to the ground, losing their ability to fight.
Similar battles continued to break out on the east side of the city. The men in black continued to be defeated, and the Vanguard Battalion had great results.
Just like that, three days passed. The east and north sides of the county capital were cleared by the Vanguard Battalion and the Thousand Poison Sect's experts. The men in black hiding in the forest were cleared, and the blockade on both sides was broken.
The Vanguard Battalion brought their gains to Commander Wang Gu and exchanged them for points. Then, they exchanged them for all kinds of pills.
With these pills, the strength of the Vanguard Battalion had also increased greatly.
However, without the orders of the Imperial Residence, the Vanguard Battalion did not dare to leave.
With Bai Yuntian's guidance, Wang Gu quickly found some people who were willing to join the Prince's mansion. After a round of work, in just two days, there were more and more people who were willing to join the Prince's mansion.
Everyone had a herd mentality. Seeing that more and more people were willing to join the Prince's mansion, the others also responded. Other than a few people who were determined not to follow, these Vanguard Battalion were basically another force of the Prince's mansion.
In the Imperial Residence, Wang Gu reported the situation of the Vanguard Battalion to Xia Wuyou.
"Your Highness, the vanguard unit has been established. This unit will be a transition unit for the future Prince's mansion to recruit talented soldiers from the wandering cultivators. It is suitable for small-scale individual battles.”Bai Yuntian smiled at Xia Wuyou.
"Very good, Wang Gu, you will temporarily lead this vanguard unit. In the future, when there are suitable talents, we will officially separate them!”Xia Wuyou nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang Gu accepted the order and left.
"Yun Tian, just now, this king carefully checked the map of the entire East County and found a place called Wind Wolf Valley in the north of the county city. Now, follow this king there!”Xia Wuyou said to Bai Yuntian.
"Wind Wolf Valley? This subordinate seems to have heard of it before, but it is said that the Wind Wolves in the Wind Wolf Valley are very powerful. Even Ye Kuang's elite army did not dare to provoke them. What is Your Highness going to do here?”Bai Yuntian asked suspiciously.
"You'll know when you get there. This king's first cavalry mount will be them!”Xia Wuyou smiled mysteriously.
