Chapter 73: Chapter 73 - Gather at the Plaza and Moving Out To Attack!

After understanding these trivial matters, Lin Ye made a decision.

He looked at Zhang Liang and chuckled. “Don’t worry, your father will be fine.”

“Does the lord really have a way to save my dad?” Zhang Liang’s eyes were filled with hope.

Although the ‘hint’ talent had already given him a hint, he still wasn’t confident and was extremely flustered.

“I guess.” Lin Ye didn’t have a definite answer either. Everything was just speculation now.

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, “Which one of you has the best filming skills?”

“It should be Dong Wei. That guy used to be an internet manager and has studied all kinds of device maintenance. He’s also knowledgeable about video cameras. Previously, the beef ham instant noodles I sent on the World Channel were taken by him.”

Xun Mingyuan interjected, “His combination of the angle and color is simply too great. Just looking at it will make one’s appetite increase.”

Dong Wei?

Lin Ye nodded. He remembered the lad.

He was tall, but his face was slightly pale and unhealthy looking, as if he was malnourished.

“Alright, it’s him then.”

Lin Ye smiled mysteriously. “In a while, call Dong Wei, Jiang Gong, Zhang Bao’er, Chu Meng, and Liu Yuan. If they perform well, I’ll give you guys some benefits tonight.

“Benefits? The Four Sacred Halls?!” Xun Mingyuan’s eyes lit up.

Zhang Liang could not help but swallow.

There were many underworld people with big mouths in the territory. Even the human lords knew about that piece of news.

“Make a guess.”

Lin Ye smiled with narrowed eyes and ordered, “Before that, hand over all of your Civilization Archives to Zhang Liang for safekeeping.”

“Don’t do that, my Lord!”

Xun Mingyuan’s face fell as he spoke pitifully. “I want to chat with my girlfriend.”

“What is this? You have a girlfriend even when you are like this?!”

Zhang Liang widened his eyes and said in disbelief, “How blind is she! Old Xun, be honest, were you a rich second-generation heir back on Earth?”

“Have you ever seen a rich second-generation heir working as a warehouse manager?” Xun Mingyuan rolled his eyes and said proudly, “My girlfriend and I are childhood sweethearts. In this day and age, you have to start from a young age to find a girlfriend.”

“That dog sh*t luck. Fine, I’ll admit defeat!” Zhang Liang said sourly.

Now that he knew that his father had a chance to be saved, his personality returned to how it was before.

The emotional particles that indicated the blacking of his soul also dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Alright, cut the crap. Hand over your Civilization Archive first. I’ll give you time to chat with your family and girlfriend every day. However, before your loyalty reaches 100%, you’ll have to be temporarily supervised. Otherwise, all of you will cause trouble like Niu Wei. If that’s the case, I might as well just kill all of you since it would be easier for me.”

With that, Lin Ye looked kindly at Xun Mingyuan. “Old Xun, I won’t force you. Which do you choose?”

“This…” Xun Mingyuan smiled awkwardly.

To be honest, they were different from Niu Wei in that they did not have much ambition.

Other than the initial resistance they had, he felt pretty good staying by Lin Ye.

As long as he didn’t cause any trouble, Lin Ye’s treatment was impeccable.

He went to the world and regional channels every few hours to show off. On the public chat, groups of people would be shouting for him to carry them or to spare them a few mouthfuls of food.

Every time he saw this, a warehouse manager like him who had accomplished nothing, could not help but feel excited.

After a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said, “Then I’d better offer my loyalty. Otherwise, my girlfriend would worry if she sent a message during the regulation period and I didn’t reply.”

“Stop flexing your relationship. Hurry up.” Lin Ye glared at him. He seriously suspected that this brat was deliberately showing off.

“Right away, right away.” Xun Mingyuan laughed.

A moment later, the lord tag on his body disappeared, replaced by the citizen of the territory tag.

On the other side, Lin Ye also received a system notification.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. You have received the loyalty of the Human Lord, Xun Mingyuan. His loyalty is at 100% and became your loyalist!]

“Very good.”

Lin Ye revealed a smile. This was a pretty good sign.

There were many possibilities held by both humans and the people of the underworld. There was no harm in taking in more loyalists.

Of course, for those who were not his loyalists. Well, too bad for them, they would just be prisoners and work for him.

“Zhang Liang, I’ll leave the mission of getting the Civilization Archives to you. The conditions are just as I said. If they are willing to pledge their loyalty, then so be it. If they aren’t willing, then so be it as well. Our Lin Clan’s territory doesn’t lack those two or three minions. It’s only because we are in the early stages. Otherwise, I might not even want them.”

After instructing him, Lin Ye dispersed the surrounding native workers who were watching.

Before he left, he glanced at Niu Wei who had died with his eyes wide open and said, “Tru, find a random grave to bury him.”

Then, he turned around and walked towards the bunker.

The sun was shining brightly and it was almost lunchtime.

Thousands of people happily ate a big pot of rice. Lin Ye found Lin Dachui and began to do calculations for the equipment and supplies for the soldiers.

Lin Dachui wiped the sweat off his forehead and forced a smile. “My lord, this subordinate has let you down. Class 2 equipment is quite lacking. Even though you’ve given us enough resources, our manpower and blueprints are extremely limited. There are still more than 1,200 Class 1 soldiers who are unable to equip themselves.”

“You don’t need to blame yourself. This is a problem from my side.” Lin Ye waved his hand and didn’t blame him. He continued, “Since they don’t have any equipment, there’s no need for them to send themselves to their deaths. I’ll leave the soldiers without equipment to guard the territory. On one hand, they can guard the territory, and on the other hand, they can continue to enter the barracks for training.”

“If I need reinforcements, I’ll send people back. But before that, get the other blacksmiths to speed up their progress. Don’t slack off.”

“Also, you will come to the frontline with us later.”

“Me?” This time, Lin Dachui was a bit surprised. He was just a backstage worker. What was the use of him going to the front lines?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Four Sacred Halls.” Lin Ye rolled his eyes at him.

“Many thanks for the Lord’s generous gift!” Lin Dachui was so excited that he almost drooled.

The four Sacred Halls were different from others. What he yearned for the most was Elevation Hall of the four Sacred Halls.

From the elders of his clan, he knew the importance of the Elevation Hall to a blacksmith.

If he could successfully pass the trial, perhaps he could advance from a blacksmith to a better occupation.

Occupations like engineers, researchers, inventors, etc.

At that time, no matter who it was, his lineage would definitely be ranked at the top in front of the billions of blacksmith families and bring honor to their ancestors.

At the thought of this, tears streamed down Lin Dachui’s face as he called out to his lord.

“That’s enough. We’re family. Damn, how long has it been since you’ve showered? Don’t come near me.” Lin Ye pushed away Lin Dachui with a disgusted expression.

As he spoke, he took out Xun Mingyuan’s bronze treasure chest and opened it.

“You have obtained a Class 2 Blue Tier weapon—Black Iron Spear!”

100xReward.

100 Class 2 Blue Tier Weapon—Black Iron Spear1 Class 4 Silver Tier Weapon—Purple Golden Snake ScepterRandom Weapon

Without any hesitation, Lin Ye chose option 1.

It was impossible to guard a territory without weapons.

After the incident with the five-man team, he did not dare to be careless.

If their homes were raided again and one thousand people lost to a hundred people. Wouldn’t that be a huge slap in the face?

Lin Dachui would be the one to distribute these weapons.

After he was done, Lin Ye walked out of the Armory and went to the square platform.

Before this, Tru had heard his instructions and was long waiting for him there.

Including the thousand veterans that he had brought along, there were more than 2,700 new recruits.

A total of 3,753 people!

All of them were to gather at the plaza, ready for a battle!
