Facing the increasingly unbearable harassment of the Black Armor Army, coupled with Yang Ling's promise, the townspeople sent their daughters to live temporarily in Visen Castle to avoid being humiliated by the Black Armor Army. For a time, Visen Castle was filled with slender or plump young girls, fortunately, there were many courtyards within the castle, otherwise, the girls would have had to sleep on the floor.

  To be on the safe side, Yang Ling adopted Gu De's suggestion and posted large notices outside Shangri-La and the castle. It stated that winter had arrived, and the castle needed a thorough cleaning and maintenance, so a large number of female workers were being recruited to deal with Stov's and his Black Armor Army's inquiries.

  At one time, so many people were added, and from time to time, they had to support the townspeople who were struggling to make a living. The government consumed a lot of grain every day. Fortunately, Yang Ling stored a lot of dry food in advance, plus the Anka family's granary was piled up like a mountain, so for the time being, there was no worry about running out of food.

  With a large number of people, Yang Ling decided to build a brewery in the castle. Although the Night Fragrance Tavern and Brewery were smashed by a group of black-armored soldiers who borrowed wine to make trouble, the brewmaster and various craftsmen were not damaged at all. Under the arrangement of the old steward Mu Erchi, soon, a wisp of wine fragrance wafted through the castle, allowing the hungry dwarf Lumi to finally drink his fill.

  Weisen town is now in chaos, after setting up a small bar in Shangri-La, Yang Ling thought he could make back the cost of supporting so many people with the help of many free laborers, but unexpectedly, business was exceptionally booming. Due to the Heavenly Black Armor Army cutting off many people's financial paths, many mercenaries and adventurers had nothing better to do than drown their sorrows in drink every day, not returning until they were drunk, making him earn a lot of crystal coins every day.

  Under the stimulation of alcohol, angry people turned against the Black Armor Army and stabbed them in the back one after another. At street corners, dark alleys or under trees by the roadside, stiff corpses of the Black Armor Army were found from time to time.

  At first, Stoff was very energetic and ordered the army to search for the murderer from door to door. But every time they couldn't catch the murderer, in order to appease his anger, the lower-ranking officers had no choice but to put all the blame on the elusive Russian. As a result, Stoff became busier and more flustered, unable to control the situation, which became increasingly chaotic.

  At the same time, attracted by the wine of drunken people, many black armor soldiers also come to Shangri-La from time to time to drink a few cups. But facing the many barbarian guards with heavy armor and giant axes like wheels, plus the hostility of mercenaries and adventurers, no one dares to make trouble again.

  Last time at the Night Fragrance Tavern, although two barbarian guards were severely injured, more than twenty Black Armor soldiers were knocked down, and five of them died in just a few days. The ferocity of the barbarians can be imagined. Although the Black Armor soldiers are not cowards, facing over a hundred fully armed barbarians, they wouldn't dare to act rashly even if given a bear's gall, unless they bring the entire Black Armor army with them.

  Once, a black armored soldier got drunk and had a beastly outburst, wanting to take liberties with an elven maiden in public. The result was predictable: he was beaten to a pulp by the enraged barbarian, left searching for his teeth on the ground. When hundreds of black armored soldiers arrived after hearing the news, they didn't dare approach the furious barbarian despite his murderous aura.

  After being carried back to the military camp, the guy who was beaten beyond recognition still didn't know whether to advance or retreat and went to complain to Stoff, slandering Yang Ling for harboring evil intentions and protecting the Russians hiding in Shangri-La, suggesting that the whole army be mobilized to seal off Shangri-La. As a result, he was kicked flying by an enraged Stoff.

  Before taking office in Visen, Stoff was full of confidence. He thought that with his own ability and the three thousand Black Armor Army, he could not only quickly establish and consolidate his rule but also send the first batch of resources to the king at the beginning of next year. Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Visen, he found out that things were not going well. Not only did the Russians come to destroy upon hearing the news, but most of the Visen people and mercenaries were also unimpressed with this parachuted lord.

  It wasn't until he discovered that a quick victory was impossible, and that the burden of taxation had to be increased due to the lack of supplies, that he realized the situation was becoming increasingly dire. At some point, from the mercenaries of the Livonian Confederation to the ordinary citizens of Visby, everyone began to view his side with increasing hostility.

  After being ambushed multiple times, although he couldn't find any evidence, he also understood that some of the assassinations and sneak attacks had nothing to do with the Russians, but were actually the work of others behind his back. At this point, he was surrounded by enemies on all sides, so it would be good if he could just get a deal from Yang Ling's hands, directly turning against him would be digging his own grave. Even without the reminder from his strategist, he wouldn't be foolish to that extent.

  When Yang Ling had nothing to do, he would also go to Shangri-La for a stroll. Every time he went out, Kesi would send a group of warriors to follow him. Yang Ling said it several times, but whether it was Gud or the old steward Mulberry, they all firmly opposed him going out alone. As a result, large numbers of guards often appeared in Shangri-La, and the Black Armor Army dared not be reckless here.

  That night, after practicing cross-legged for an entire night, Yang Ling felt that his witchcraft power had reached another bottleneck. As long as he broke through this threshold, he estimated that he could cultivate to the realm of a high-level spiritual witch. At that time, the speed of taming magical beasts would be faster and the range would be wider, and it was estimated that he wouldn't need to rely on the magical beast blood pearl to tame some mid-to-high level magical beasts.

  In this world where the strong prey on the weak, the only way to survive is to increase one's own strength!

  After instructing Gude for a few sentences, Yang Ling returned to the Tras Forest, preparing to put the sharp Spider Legion into the Witch Tower to await orders, and also prepared to meditate quietly in the forest for a few days. The witch's power was temporarily unable to break through, but absorbing a large amount of green life energy also had great benefits.

  With the speed of a unicorn, he had almost all-around exploration of the Anglewings beast, and he quietly avoided several black armor army's sentries, after several hours, he arrived at Spider Valley.

  Unlike last time, the entrance to Spider Valley was treacherous, with deadly spider webs and hidden pitfalls everywhere. Inside the valley, spiders came and went in endless streams, too numerous to count.

  Some spiders are as big as a face basin, covered with shiny black long hair; some move like flying, all snowy white; some even rely on the tenacious spider silk to quickly swing from one tree to another. It seems that Wolf Spider King has conquered many spider tribes during this period and greatly increased its strength.

  The Spider Valley changed greatly, but when Yang Ling saw the giant wolf spider king, he was even more shocked.

  Unlike last time, the nine eyes of the Wolf Spider King had changed from sky blue to blood red at some point, and the long red hairs on its body stood upright like arrowheads, ferocious and bloodthirsty. Moreover, the spider soldiers behind it had almost all grown to the size of a face basin, forming a sharp triangular attack formation. At a glance, they were densely packed, resembling a sharp blood-red arrowhead.

  Lethal venom, sharp fangs and an unstoppable ambush, combined with strict division of labor and a fearless spirit, this is not a demonic beast army, but rather a slaughter knife, a sharp slaughter knife.

  Looking at the majestic and intimidating spider army, Yang Ling was shocked and realized that he finally had a truly powerful demon beast army. Although individual spiders were not particularly outstanding, when tens of thousands of spiders formed an array to attack, it would be a nightmare for any enemy. It was unimaginable that under the leadership of the Wolf Spider King, the spider army had undergone such an astonishing transformation in a short period of time. Even more unimaginable was what kind of earth-shaking changes would occur if the Hornet Beast, Evil Eye, and Withered Wood Warrior also had a similar king.
