Another ten minutes passed.

More than 200 Class 3 soldiers had their battle aura externalized, and more than 500 Class 2 soldiers had their battle aura awakened.

This was not something that could be accomplished overnight but through more than a decade of accumulation. It was not easy to obtain.

Now that they had broken through, their improvement was not small.

For example, if it was a Class 3 warrior that could release battle aura, even if they leveled using an upgrade scroll, they would at least be able to defeat three other people of the same class.

Of course, they had only just broken through and the increase in their combat strength was a little superficial.

If they wanted their strength to completely stabilize, they would still need to train more in the advanced barracks. At that time, they could still improve significantly.

“Hahaha, my lord, we’re back.”

At this moment, hearty laughter sounded from afar.

Luo Feng and Tru walked out of the teleportation array one after another, their faces flushed red.

“What made you two so happy?” Lin Ye glanced at him and asked curiously.

“Hehe, my lord, you don’t know. When I went back this time, it’s equivalent to returning home in glory. My father’s talent is not good. As the clan leader, he is only a Class 3 Senior Combat Master. However, I have only been here for three days and have already advanced from Class 1 to Class 4 Combat Saint. I almost scared my father to death.”

As he spoke, Tru was so excited that his mouth was almost crooked from laughing. “Also, now that I have a high reputation in the clan, more than a dozen matchmakers are almost breaking the door of my house. All of them want to tell me about potential wives, and they were even those who would have plenty of dowry accompanying them.”

“Oh, so you’re getting married?” Lin Ye glanced at him from the side of his eyes.

“How could I? I’m going to strengthen Lin Clan’s influence with the lord. Isn’t it a downer to get married so early?”

Tru shook his head like a rattle. Then, he pretended to imitate Lin Ye’s attitude when he rejected Adelia previously. He said arrogantly and coldly, “Thank you for the invitation. Women will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword!”

“Bleh!”

As soon as he said that, combined with his awkward expression, everyone present burst into laughter.

“Stop fooling around. Tell me, how did your father react?” Lin Ye brought the topic back.

“Of course he agrees. The lord has spent so much that my father was grinning from ear to ear. The benefits here are one of a kind. Our totem clan is a branch of the North Warring Clans and our intelligence work is not bad.”

“According to my father, three days after the arrival of the human lords, the other warring clans’ members who were working for the other lords suffered heavy casualties. Survival rates were lower than 10%.”

“There’s something even more ridiculous. Some human lords were perverts and even dared to bully the women of the Warring Clans. In the end, they were betrayed by the female warriors. They killed their lords and escaped back to the underworld.”

“Of course, if the clans discover lords with potential, they might send their most beautiful women to hit on the said lord.”

At this point, his gaze landed on Adelia and he chuckled foolishly.

“If you continue to spout nonsense, the next time Storm of Arrows hit you, it won’t be on your ass.”

Adelia drew a silver arrow and smiled threateningly.

“How could I? It’s a misunderstanding. It’s all a misunderstanding.”

Tru said carefully and then talked more about the rumors of the underworld.

For example, there was something wrong with a certain clan recently or some powerful human lord was on the rankings and the clans sent warriors and beauties to said human lords overly enthusiastically.

….

Tru told him a lot of information, but Lin Ye did not stop him. Instead, he listened attentively.

However, after listening to most of it, he suddenly felt sick of it.

Why did the protagonists from his examples all get to freeload off their wives?

But I’m so handsome and strong. Why haven’t I seen anyone sending warriors and beauties to me?

F*ck!

Those bastards from the underworld must be jealous that I’m too handsome!

While Lin Ye was complaining inwardly, Tru continued to talk non-stop. His mouth felt dry from talking.

His eyes lit up when he saw the Pu’er tea in front of Lin Ye.

“Drink it. I’m not stopping you.” Lin Ye waved his hand indifferently.

Tru didn’t stand on ceremony. He drank a few cups and continued, “That’s why I say that the lord is still the awesome one. Everyone who comes to our territory is deeply grateful. I told them about what happened here. In the beginning, my father and those cousins didn’t believe me. In the end, I had no choice but to throw out the 100,000 Zombie Souls and Level 3 Body Strengthening Pills that you gave me before they believed it.”

“Make a guess at what happened next,” he said mysteriously.

“Were you beaten?” Lin Ye chuckled.

“Ahem, of course not.”

Tru scratched his head and said with a smile, “That scene was too beautiful. My father and the others almost cried from greed. All of them begged me to summon them as soon as possible. On my way back, I made a rough calculation and realized that there were at least 3,000 people who were willing to come. Among them, 2,300 were Class 1 soldiers, 600 were Class 2, 100 were Class 3, and only 5 were Class 4. They were all my uncles. If we include the elderly, women, and children, the numbers can at least increase to 10,000.”

“You can exclude the old, weak, women, and children. I can’t support so many people for the time being. We’ll talk about it when the population limit increases.”

Lin Ye nodded, roughly understanding the situation on Tru’s side, before turning to look at Luo Feng.

After organizing his words, Luo Feng stepped forward and said, “My lord, the situation of my Luo clan’s soldiers is better. For the sake of the hero-tier weapon, the Blood Shadow Battle Blade, my father has definitely put in a lot of effort for you. 6,000 elites are waiting for you to recruit. Among them, 3,000 are at Class 1, 2,100 is at Class 2, 800 is at Class 3, and 100 is at Class 4.”

“Of course. The recruitment fee and resource supply will still have to be paid based on what was needed. In this regard, my father said he wouldn’t make the slightest concession unless…”

At the crucial moment, his expression turned strange.

“Unless what?” Lin Ye raised his eyebrows.

“Cough cough… My lord, these words were not said by me. I am repeating my father’s words. The general idea is: Unless you marry my younger sister, Luo Xiaoxi, the recruitment fee cannot be reduced by a single cent.” Luo Feng revealed an awkward expression.

“Oh, there’s such a good deal.” Lin Ye chuckled.

Just now, he was complaining about why no one thought highly of him and wanted to give him a wife. Now, the chance was here.

He narrowed his eyes and smiled at Luo Feng. “Is your sister pretty?”

“I want to see a reference photo.”

Luo Feng coughed lightly and glanced at Adelia opposite him. He said truthfully, “I think she’s not as pretty as compared to Adelia and Nicole, but she is definitely better than ordinary rangers and chefs.”

“If the Lord wishes, I can help set a meetup.”

“There’s no need. Who do you think I am? Remember, I, Lin Ye, will never live by mooching off my wife!”

Suddenly, Lin Ye’s face became serious and he said righteously, “If you are a man, you must rely on yourself for everything. Thank Uncle Luo for his regard. Tell him to rest assured that the recruitment fee given would be as much as it should be. There is no doubt about that.”

Seeing that Adelia and the others were about to speak as well, he hurriedly said, “Alright, this matter ends here. I’ll remember this. Recruitment will prioritize the best ones. It’s the same for the other clans. There’s no need to be afraid that there won’t be any spots. Now, this lord has other important matters that require your immediate action.”

“Su Yu, this is the blueprint for the Class 3 Purple Tier Weapon M4A1 and its bullet. Bring them back to the territory personally and free two Level 3 Armories for processing this.”

As he spoke, he handed over two high-level blueprints that were purple in color with a tinge of silver to them.

“My lord, look at the annotation. Although this weapon seems to be more powerful than Zhu Gelian’s Crossbow, there’s only one blueprint. The processing efficiency might be extremely slow.” Su Yu took a look and reminded him kindly.

“I know. Hold on. Let me find something.”

After he finished speaking, Lin Ye immediately placed his attention on the Reputation Shop’s storage warehouse.

He had browsed through so many different kinds of things previously, and it seemed like there was a powerful tool for this kind of hacking.

“Found it!”

Soon, his eyes lit up and he took out a large pile of scrolls.

“This is Forging Acceleration Scrolls for Class 3 equipment. There are a total of 135 of them. Pass it to Blacksmith Two and get it processed immediately. It has to be done quickly. It’s useful to me.”
