Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 98

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 comes 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 merchants 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 same last name 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 me 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 mention 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. _{freёwebnovel.com}

"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 men 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 time 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, Merchant District, in a public square, General 2 and 3 brought an elite group of soldiers. In front of them stood numerous merchants 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 merchants.
