Are they completely reliable?”
“Most of my men are descendants of the Qiyun Protectorate’s for Plains by the Shatu people These people are extreo back to the Gulang Plains Soands and bandits which I’ve taken in while so a mediocre life so they requested to join Solo Cloud due to its reputation But there aren’t many of them, only about two thousand in total They are scattered across the northwestern regions, but are still under h some of them are bandits, they are quite loyal They will not dare to try anything funny unless they are under extreme circumstances Apart from that, I have several hundred from the Dark Bandits, but they obeyasked in astonishment
“The Dark Bandits are people who escaped from the Dark Ram Tribe Their territories haven’t been that peaceful as there are always conflicts between the tribes The situation is gri prey on the weak The Dark Bandits aretribes of the internal strife a the Dark Ra hunted They couldn’t continue living in the territories of the Dark Ra Mount Qiyun to escape”
“I see, I didn’t expect people frouess that’s… er nearly said ‘quite international’, but ed to quickly correct himself in ti Plains and rebuild the Qiyun Protectorate’s Office, just give us your coh!”
“With your men and everyone from my archery academy, or if we even double up that nu the Shatu Seven Tribes and restoring control over the Gulang Plains to the Qiyun Protectorate?” Yan Liqiang asked cal was silent for a moment before he shook his head and answered bitterly, “The Shatu Seven Tribes have settled down in the Gulang Plains for several decades with a population of several le with fighting against the weakest group a the Shatu Seven Tribes, let alone the entire Shatu Seven Tribes!”
“Exactly We don’t have enough ainst the Shatu Seven Tribes now to recover the Gulang Plains and rebuild the Qiyun Protectorate’s Office There’s no e can take the Gulang Plains back from the Shatu people even if we are all sacrificed in the battle,spoke with co the Gulang Plains and rebuilding the Qiyun Protectorate’s Office,asked
“Of course I did!”
“Then, when do you think is the right ti in fortune — even an annual profit of several hundred thousand taels of silver isn’t a probleion,asse bureau?”
“Haha While I wish to asse and environainst the Shatu Seven Tribes without an army of twenty or thirty thousand men Do you think the imperial court and the Gan Provincial Governor would allow ht the Shatu Seven Tribes?” Yan Liqiang shook his head “The nuh the archery acade the limit of men I am allowed to have!”

“It’s the pursuit of self-interest that draws people in, but it is also edges the the Gulang Plains by driving out the Shatu people is a highly profitable matter, countless will come offerthe area to rebuild the Qiyun Protectorate’s Office!”
Fortunately, those words ca’swould have slapped the living daylights out of hi his brain to look for his teeth all over the floor
“The thing that kills most people in the world isn’t some powerful martial arts or weapons It’s ’s unfatho as there’s self-interest to pursue, even a blade of grass or a tree is enough to destroy an entire city or nation I can tell you today that the Shatu Seven Tribes will be destroyed by none other than the vast green fields of the Gulang Plains They thought they would be able to settle and grow in nu the plains, so they acted unscrupulously But I’ll let the Plains into a weapon against theets of many parties…”
