Half a month later, Zhou Chong entered the second floor with 7000 people and horses. According to Ye Tianze's order, the stronghold on the second floor will be built in the valley where Longyan Shujing is located.

There is an intermediate energy well, which is very suitable for building a spirit room. With a spirit room, they can practice.

The mighty army naturally disturbed the demons on the second floor. If they had done so before, they would have obstructed them in every way, but this time they didn't do so.

Seeing ye Tianze waiting here, Zhou Chong hurried up and said, "I've seen the city Lord."

"Meet the city Lord," said seven thousand Huben.

Ye Tianze can see that these Huben have grown up. There are many Tiannan faces in them, which are obviously drawn from Tiannan.

Ye Tianze raised his hand and said: "I put the ugly words in front. Now that we have entered the stone city and become a tiger's heart, we should share the same honor and disgrace. We should not only kill spirit beasts for resources on the mountain, but also work with other races. Who wants to meet other races, be timid and delay me. I give him a chance to give up his position and get out of the stone city by himself. I don't need cowards who are afraid of death here. I just want warriors who dare to die!"

Speaking of this, he glanced at the tiger cardia present and said, "do you understand?"

"Promise!" seven thousand Huben shouted in unison.

"Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit, live fish go upstream, and dead fish drift with the tide."

Ye Tianze said loudly, "you are wolves and live fish in the water. You should enjoy the best resources and let those cowards who are afraid of death go to hell. If anyone wants to have an opinion, let them know how sharp the butcher knife in your hand is."

"May I die for the city Lord."

Seven thousand Huben shouted.

The demons hiding around the valley were afraid when they heard this cry. They knew that ye Tianze said this to Huben, but also to them.

After Huben settled down, he began to establish a stronghold in the valley. Ye Tianze called out the Longyan tree essence and planted the tree essence in the valley.

The Dragon Fire tree essence is enough to cover the whole valley and even radiate further. Once an enemy invades, it can be predicted in advance.

The weapon refiner and the array mage were in full swing. Ye Tianze was not idle. He looked for Zhou Chong and asked about the first floor.

"The two major leagues know how you react when you enter the second floor. Seven thousand Huben have come up. Who will guard the stronghold on the first floor?"

Ye Tianze asked.

"Those guarding the first level stronghold are the new army just recruited from the stone city. According to the usual practice, they have been divided into seven armies and will be used as a substitute for Huben in the future. Zhuge Qi and I have checked that there is no problem with the background of these people. Li Chaoying has tried to expel those people with ulterior motives."

Zhou Chong said.

"Very good, but don't expel all the spies, and leave some in the right amount, so as to call them to send a message and tell the five major leagues what we're doing."

Ye Tianze said.

Zhou Chong nodded and said, "I'll discuss it with Zhuge Qi. However, there's no need for the seven parts of Huben, the core?"

"Yes, the core Huben seven must be innocent. We must not let a spy in, because we will turn the second floor into a unique sphere of influence of Shicheng in the future."

Ye Tianze said, "in this way, we can establish an advantage over several major leagues."

"My Lord, I don't want to share the second level resources with the two alliances in the East and North?" Zhou Chong asked.

"Not without sharing."

Ye Tianze said, "unless we win the third floor, we must not ask them to enter the second floor. In this way, they maintain the advantage of the first floor. It will be difficult for them to catch up again."

"If we don't share the resources of the second layer, I'm afraid the two alliances in the East and North will be unwilling."

Zhou Chong said, "it's even possible to force them back to the five major leagues. When we set out, the two major leagues sent people to ask if they want their support, which means they want to enter the third floor with us, but they were rejected by Zhuge Qi. I don't think they will give up so much."

Ye Tianze smiled and said, "if they are not good enough, what can Gan Xiu do? If you don't want to bear it, I'll drive them down the mountain. We work hard on the mountain. They eat meat on the mountain, and now they have to eat the best meat. Is this appropriate?"

Zhou Chong said with a wry smile: "but uniting the two major alliances is a part of our strategy. If we tear our face with the two major alliances... Then..."

"Don't worry, they don't have such courage. Without the stone city, they don't even have the qualification to climb the mountain."

Ye Tianze said, "unless they unite with other races, but if they unite with other races to deal with us, it will violate Lu Xiufu's bottom line. If I don't move them, the Legion will skin them."

Zhou Chong understood and continued: "now there are nearly 200000 troops in Shicheng. Is it expanding a little faster?"

"Two hundred thousand?"

Ye Tianze said strangely, "how did it expand to 200000?"

"Now the whole buzhoushan and even the whole East know that the treatment of Shicheng is very good. If there were no quota limit, I'm afraid more people would join."

Zhou Chong said, "this is also the reason why Li Chaoying wants to investigate the background. If he doesn't investigate the background, they will all come in. It is conservatively estimated that they can gather up 500000 troops."

"Yes!"

Ye Tianze said, "the expansion is indeed a little fast. It's enough for us to keep 100000 people standing. 200000 people eat too much resources and ask Li Chaoying to cut some."

"That won't work."

Zhou Chong said with a wry smile, "these 200000 are carefully selected. That's how they have aroused the dissatisfaction of many people. They say that our stone city is open to recruitment, but they turn people out."

"Recruitment is recruitment. Whether we use it or not depends on us. Soldiers are more refined than more. I think we can not lower the threshold, but also raise the threshold."

Ye Tianze said, "we just want to tell the whole buzhoushan, stone city, as long as the best, those weak, ask them to go to the five leagues and the Legion. We didn't force them to come."

"How much will it be cut?" Zhou Chong asked.

"100000!" said Ye Tianze.

"...." Zhou Chong.

"Don't look like your parents are dead," said Ye Tianze. "You'll understand that 100000 is better than 200000."

"Really only 100000?" Zhou Chong asked.

"As long as 100000." Ye Tianze affirmed.

Zhou Chong was helpless and had to promise to convey that 100000 troops were still too few in his opinion, and the stone city expanded rapidly.

As soon as the first layer is digested, it immediately enters the second layer. Naturally, more troops are needed to maintain immediate interests.

But what ye Tianze thinks is different from him. Although Shicheng is rich in resources, it is also very useful. It is not unbearable for Shicheng to raise 100000 more troops.

But in the long run, the resources of these 100000 troops can be directly tilted to other 100000 troops, and good steel can be used on the blade.

What he wants to build is a heavily armed 100000 army, which will also become his core team in the future.

"It's not too late to send an order to Li Chaoying to disarm immediately."

Ye Tianze said.

Zhou Chong wrote it down, but he was sweating when he left. He found it very easy to talk to Zhuge Qi.

But talking to Ye Tianze made him feel as if he had seen the old God general. The majesty made him dare not even look at him.

Li Chaoying at the foot of the mountain soon got the news that 100000 people were dismissed at once, which is really a difficult problem for Li Chaoying.

But she soon came up with a way to directly designate these 100000 people as reserves and do not receive the salary of stone city, but they can give priority to joining the standing army of stone city in the future, and they can also live in stone city.

This caused a great sensation in Shicheng. You know, these 100000 troops are half of the troops in Shicheng. Many people managed to sneak into Shicheng.

At first, fortunately, these 100000 people just wanted to make a statement. How can a good standing army become a reserve?

But as time went by, the accumulated resentment grew. With the people from the five major leagues, 100000 people immediately mutinied.

However, they did not know that Li Chaoying was waiting for them to mutiny, and she had already found out all the spies of the five leagues and raised in the stone city.

Under the leadership of the Lord's father Ming, the elite of Shicheng came out and killed the spies in the 100000 army in only one hour.

Without the leadership of those spies, 100000 people calmed down. When they knew that Li Chaoying agreed to give them one month's military pay as severance pay, they immediately stopped.

Those who are willing to stay in the reserve can give priority to joining the standing army in the future, and then change from the standing army to Huben. Those who are unwilling to stay in stone city can leave with severance pay.

Although it still caused a lot of controversy, the matter subsided.

"Good boy, there are 100000 people. You can cut them if you say so. It's really bold." Sun Qiqi, who heard people talking in the hunter's restaurant, expressed his appreciation.

"People are constantly expanding. Only he doesn't expand and drives people out directly." the shopkeeper of the wine shop said, "I really don't see any courage."

"You don't understand. Shicheng raises 100000 troops and 200000 troops. Those are two concepts. The resources consumed by 100000 people can be transformed into Huben. Instead of weakening the combat effectiveness of Shicheng troops, it strengthens the combat effectiveness of the remaining 100000 troops."

Sun Qiqi said, "in addition, he has another purpose to cut the 100000 troops. It is to show Lu Xiufu that there are only 100000 people in Shicheng, which will not threaten the rule of the Legion. Don't you see that the Legion has less and less resources to Shicheng in recent days? Especially those places, they are very dead!"

As soon as the shopkeeper heard this, he understood and said, "even so, abolishing the army will cause great dissatisfaction. It will be difficult to recruit again in the future."

"Then you are wrong. The abolition of the army will not affect the future recruitment of stone city, and even attract more people."

Sun Qiqi said, "moreover, these will be the real strong, not the weak who want to come to Shicheng to spend their time."

Sure enough, after Shicheng abolished 100000 troops, Lu Xiufu immediately ordered that one tenth of the number of white tiger legions recruited into buzhoushan be distributed to Shicheng.

This is not good news for the five major leagues, but ye Tianze on the mountain is happy.

"Lu Xiufu is really not a stingy man," said Ye Tianze.

Zhou Chong understood Ye Tianze's other intention and admired him more. Although the army is full now, stone city can recruit more weapon refiners, array mages and Dan masters when it gets these places.

Kill two birds with one stone.
