While strengthening the army's combat capability, Zichuan Xiu did not forget his old business of making money. He sent Deren and other orcs to bring grain and food to various places in exchange for those precious minerals: gold, silver, diamonds, magic crystals......

It just so happened that the harvest of crops in the Far East was not good this year, coupled with various factors such as natural disasters, famine was widespread in the Far East, and grain prices soared, Delun and other buyers took the opportunity to raise grain prices, and a high-purity 20-carat sapphire was actually only exchanged for less than 100 kilograms of rice! People everywhere scolded Delun (they didn't know that there was a Zichuan Xiu behind Delen) as a vampire, and they obediently came to trade: No way, no matter how beautiful the gem is, it can't be eaten.

When the various precious minerals were sent back to Bulu Village, Shirokawa Xiu personally selected a group of absolutely loyal soldiers, and Shirakawa led them to smuggle the minerals back to the family hinterland through the secret passage through the back mountain of Guò.

A month later, when they returned, they brought with them a large amount of grain and grass and weapons and equipment urgently needed for the training of the Xiuzi battalion army: more than 10,000 jīng good armor, strong shields, 5,000 strong bows that could shè 300 paces away, nearly 10,000 bundles of high-quality bows and arrows, and more than 5,000 fine war horses that were alive and kicking.

To the orcs who had helped them in Bulu Village and several surrounding villages, Shikawa Xiu was very generous, and he gave them enough food for a year without a penny. In the year of the Great Famine in the Far East, a large number of poor people starved to death in almost every village, but the village of Bulu and the surrounding villages were able to survive the difficulties because of Zichuan Xiu's almsgiving. The villagers were grateful to Zichuan Xiu, and for a time, the name of "Guangming Xiu" spread all over the surrounding dozens of villages and towns.

The entire province of Wag knows that there is a "bright" adult in Bulu Village who is helping the needy. The chiefs and elders of the villages and towns hurried to Bulu Village to see the "Lord Guangming", bringing the most precious treasures in their village, begging the Lord to save the villagers who were about to starve to death.

The kind-hearted Lord Guangming had no choice but to reluctantly accept the various treasures they had paid tribute to, and gave them cartloads of grain. Those elders and village chiefs left gratefully, swearing that they would remember the kindness of Lord Guangming for the rest of their lives, and that as long as the adults were sent, the whole village would go up and down the water without frowning!

Roger was well-fed, practiced upper-class martial arts, had too much strength but had nothing to do, was bored, and he noisily asked to find a job. So Zichuan Xiu sent him out with a few squadrons to find some "extra money".

From this day on, the garrison of the Demon Occupation Army's Wag Province was blessed, and since then, strange things have continued to happen: the supply grain trucks have been robbed one after another, the roads and bridges transported have been destroyed, the scout troops sent out to reconnoiter have actually hidden in the ground, only to go out, and there is no turning back; at night, they heard terrible shouts and shouts from the dense forest on the edge of the camp, and the soldiers did not dare to sleep; three senior officers at the level of team leaders died mysteriously on the same night, and there was no reason for this; even the sentries on duty at the gate of the camp would disappear incredibly, as if there was a mouth on the ground and swallowed them in one gulp。

In order to calm the morale of the army, the commander of the occupation army consulted several local wizards, and they all said that it was because of bad feng shui and that there were demons at work -- not strange, even if you forgot to bring paper to the toilet they all said that it was a demon -- the commander entertained the wizards with good wine and meat, so the wizards sang and danced very hard, and danced in the sun for a long time, making them sweat profusely.

The wizards said, "All right, the demons have been cast out!"

The demon camp has strengthened its vigilance and sent more parades. After a few days of nothing, everyone thought that they were safe and sound, but just a little lax, strange things happened again: in the middle of the night, there was an inexplicable fire in the army, burning down hundreds of tents and half of the grain storage warehouse! For a while, the people were flustered, the demon soldiers did not dare to rest during the day, did not dare to sleep at night, did not dare to leave the gate of the camp, and the small force did not dare to leave the camp for more than five kilometers. The soldiers did not eat or sleep, and their morale was depressed to the extreme. Regardless of whether it was a soldier or an officer, everyone had red eyes open, and kept looking back behind them as they walked, and everyone was in danger.

Ming Yu has another mission. Zichuan Xiu pointed out that in the just-concluded Far East War, because the demon army was advancing too fast, in the remote areas of the provinces in the Far East, it was very likely that there were still human armies that had not had time to retreat. In order to avoid the search of the demon army, they hid in the deep mountains and old forests, and became robbers who occupied the mountains and became kings, relying on robbery for a living Speaking of this, the three banners blushed and lowered their heads together.

Zi Chuanxiu believes that although those human soldiers were defeated, they could hold out in such a harsh environment for so long and fight with the demon soldiers many times, and their combat effectiveness must be extraordinary, and they must have accumulated a wealth of experience in fighting against demons and jungle guerrilla warfare. Once these scattered and inconspicuous armed forces are assembled, they will be a considerable force that can conquer the city.

These people have the deepest hatred for the demons and are the most tenacious, and they can serve as the core of the Xiuzi Battalion in the future. The task entrusted to Ming Yu is to contact them as much as possible, organize them, provide them with weapons, food, and medicine, and determine how to contact them, and find a way to make them obey our commands.

Ming Yu took the order and left. Sure enough, in the places specifically pointed out by Zichuan Xiu, such as around the original Southwest Battalion of the Black Flag Army, Tussaud Province, Visdo Forest, Deya Province, Iria Province and other remote places, he found many defeated soldiers of the Zichuan family. When the demons first began to attack, they lost contact with their superiors, and they did not dare to retreat without receiving the order to retreat, seeing that they were invincible to a large number of demon troops, they often hid in the mountains and forests together to continue fighting, and they had no contact with the outside world, and they didn't even know the news that the Zichuan family had negotiated peace with the demons. Seeing that the days are passing, the power of the demon clan is getting stronger and stronger, and the rule is becoming more and more stable, but their own people have not come for a long time, and they are almost desperate.

At this time, Ming Yu came, and he announced that he was ordered by the deputy commander "Lord Light" to take you in, and he was ordered to reorganize you and re-engage in the battle with the demons. Although none of those soldiers knew that there was such a "Lord Guangming", they had not been in contact with the outside world for a long time, and when they saw Ming Yu wearing a dark blue Zichuan family officer uniform, and said that they were going to restart the war with the demons, they were so excited that they burst into tears, and said: "We have finally waited for this day!

Ming Yu only had one squadron of men and horses when he set out, and when he came back, there were several thousand - this was because he was afraid of too many people, and it was difficult to avoid the patrols of the demons along the way, so he only brought back a small number of men and horses. The others left him food, medicine, and weapons, and told them to stay where they were, waiting for orders. The guerrillas everywhere have said that as soon as the order of the "Lord Light" arrives, we will immediately go out of the mountains and fight the demons to the death!

Zi Chuan Xiu knew that under the current situation where the demon clan was strong for a while, no matter how much his fragile small regime developed, it would not be able to compete head-on with the powerful demon army. To ensure one's own safety, the most important guarantee is the blockade of intelligence. In order to conceal his tracks, he strictly forbade his troops to attack without authorization. Anyone who had to leave the jungle area of Bulu Village with a special mission had to get the approval of Shikawa Shu - the personnel sent out with the consent of Shikawa Shu were all of the level of high-level ninjas, and they were all mysterious, day and night, stealthy like flying, and the demon patrols could not even touch their shadows.

On the contrary, Zichuan Xiu threw a large amount of jīng power and materials to collect military and political intelligence of the demons. With the help of Orcs such as Delenn, he has built an efficient intelligence network covering the entire province of Wag and the surrounding areas. In the entire provincial area, between forests, between villages, and between granges, there are all information transmission outlets of Xiuzi Battalion.

The intelligence officers of the Xiuzi camp are everywhere, men, women, the elderly, and children...... A passing orc old farmer looked dumbfounded, but the hollow stick in his hand hid the code of the quick message; the children playing on the side of the road, when they saw the demon soldiers passing by, would silently knock down the message tree on the mountain, and the cooking smoke on the roof of the house was originally used to transmit the signal of jǐng.

These underground warriors are very well-informed, and they collect everything from the study of the commander of the demon garrison, from the strength intelligence of the demon garrison in the entire province to the clothing number of the governor of the province, they know everything well. Moreover, the transmission of their news is also extremely fast: from here to there, it is as if the whole area is a common nervous organism, as long as there is a situation in one place, in the blink of an eye, the news will immediately spread to the village of Wag, hundreds of miles away. Before noon, the underground warriors of Wag Village could know the recipe for breakfast in the garrison of the Demon Army.

Watching the number of troops expand day by day, the territory expands day by day, showing a thriving trend, everyone is full of confidence in the future. In particular, Shirakawa and other high-ranking officers, seeing that the troops were now so prosperous and united, compared to the situation of hiding in the Dura forest less than a few months ago, everyone felt that it was a wise decision to choose to follow Shikawa Xiu. Thinking of Zichuan Xiu's promise to ensure that everyone returned to their hometowns in fine clothes, from top to bottom, the officers and soldiers of the Xiuzi battalion worshipped him like a god. Everyone is full of energy, ready to fight with the demons.

In the summer of the seventh or eighth year of the imperial calendar, without anyone noticing, in addition to the Demon Clan and the Zichuan family, a third force in the Far East began its quiet development. With the village of Bulu as the center, within more than 300 kilometers, bounded by the Koga jungle in the east, and backed by the Guchi Mountains of the moat, this is their territory.

Preserving a part of the human race under the enslavement of the demons, the great plan of Zichuan Xiu was successful. The headquarters of the occupation army of the demon clan did not know about its existence at all, and it was here that the future King of Light quietly and timidly expanded his power against the demon clan. A strong man who is about to shock the world will be born......
