“Friendly reminder that they are unable to settle in the core of the territory. Please set up another gathering place!”
He heard the system’s voice transmission.
Lin Ye thought about it. It was a problem.
Currently, the territory was huge, but it was too concentrated. The main bunker had a population of 140,000, and the subsidiary bunker had 120,000.
The population was densely packed within a range of 20,000 meters.
Lin Ye looked at the virtual sandbox. Outside the main bunker, Lin Ye looked at the four different directions: north, south, east, and west.
A gathering spot with an army should be set every 20 kilometers.
In other words, 11 individual rendezvous points could be constructed in every direction, which meant 44 total.
The total population recruited was 1 million. With some calculation, 22,000 people can make up an independent army.
Using this system, every army in each gathering spot would be able to reinforce each other and rush over quickly when needed.
At the same time, there were many haunted houses in these areas.
He took a brief look and realized that there were hundreds of them.
Previously, he had only explored outwards of a radius of 20,000 meters and he had already made a killing.
With such a large quantity, he should definitely act fast.
When the equipment was distributed, he would let them go over to take these Haunted Houses down smoothly.
He could also earn zombie souls, treasure chests, and other things. On top of that, he could also solve the problem of population density.
As for the final question of loyalty, it should not be difficult. As long as he could get a higher level of Lord’s Skin, it should not be a problem.
“Food has to be eaten mouthful by mouthful. For the time being, the number of ordinary soldiers shall remain the same. As for other classes, I can recruit another 200,000 rangers and half of them can be converted to Elemental Rangers, with the other half to Demon Hunters. The number of recruitment orders for Class 3 Chefs I have is close to 40,000 and there are also 20,000 Class 3 Priests recruitment orders and 40,000 Class 3 Blacksmiths recruitment orders…”
“A total of more than 300,000 people. All of them are included in the recruitment list.”
“I shall split it evenly and let them follow the various armies to set off.”
“Mm, the native workers have to follow too. All the gathering places need to have high-level tents, training barracks, breeding grounds, kitchens, canteens, public toilets, and so on.”
“I shall let Lin Three to Lin Nine to keep an eye on the details.”
After confirming the plan, he focused his mind and went to Lin Three to Lin Nine to inform them of the next steps.
“Rest assured, my lord. We will do our best to complete the mission!”
The seven of them were incomparably excited.
Of the people who had changed their surnames to that of Lin, the most treasured ones were undoubtedly Lin One and Lin Two.
Lin One was in charge of food resources and planting super seeds in the wasteland to the east.
Quite a number of people had seen this.
Moreover, the effect was extraordinary. Under the irrigation of the Life Soil and Water of Life, the vegetables grown from the superfood-type seeds were extremely large. Before they were completely formed, they were already the size of a millstone.
In another day or two, it would be the first harvest season.
At that time, Lin One’s name would probably spread throughout the Lin clan.
Lin Two’s situation was not bad either. He was in charge of cleaning up the Haunted Houses everywhere.
His tasks include gathering treasure chests, blueprints, decomposing zombies, and other similar jobs. He also had a few soldier teams and a large number of native workers under him.
Thinking of it, he was a person with some authority. Within this territory, everyone respected him.
The two older brothers in front of them had already taken off, but they were still building fences. They were naturally envious.
Previously, they had just been watching anxiously as they did not have a chance to prove themselves.
Now, the bitterness had ended and the sweetness had come. It was time to showcase their talent.
All of them were as excited as cows in heat. They wished they could go to the bunker and recruit people immediately.
“As for the specifics, you can discuss them yourselves. If you don’t know, you can consult the engineers of the Camp of Creation. I don’t seek aesthetics from your construction, but at least it has to be reasonable, clean, and hygienic. That is my lowest standard. If you don’t do it well, I will let the others do it!”
Upon hearing that, Lin Three to Lin Nine shivered. Their excited hearts immediately calmed down.
“Go then. Learn more from your seniors. Don’t be impulsive.”
With that, he withdrew his mind and returned to the recruitment hall.
At this moment, the recruitment for chefs, priests, blacksmiths, and other soldiers had started. Seven teleportation channels gradually flew out of the hall.
Lin Ye was familiar with the first two classes. For every warrior that came out, zombie souls would be deducted from his Civilization Archive automatically.
Over at the bunker, the recruitment speed of the Level 5 native workers was also increasing rapidly.
The number of zombie souls he had decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
213 million → 207 million → 202 million →…
In the blink of an eye, the recruitment hall was already packed with people.
“Everyone, welcome to the Lin Clan’s territory. From today onwards, you will belong here!”
Lin Ye’s voice was like thunder. Under the halo of the Lord’s Skin, he looked like a god of war bathed in golden holy light.
He looked lofty, tall, and inviolable!
Of course, the strength on the surface was not enough to conquer these experts who had stepped into Class 4 and 5.
Only with spiritual pressure that far exceeded theirs or spiritual pressure could he win over their respect.
As for Lin Ye, his current divine sense cultivation was at the peak of Class 7. Combined with the enhancement from the three major secret techniques of the Mechanical Beast Sect, his aura was definitely not weaker than a peak Class 8 powerhouse!
He had even reached the threshold of Class 9.
Therefore, when he met the gazes of these soldiers, Lin Ye’s gaze was like a bolt of lightning. The pressure of his divine sense instantly transformed into a monstrous wave that blotted out the sky and covered every Class 4 and 5 soldiers who had just walked out from the teleportation array.
Amidst their shock, everyone started whispering.
“Is this our lord? What a powerful spiritual pressure. I feel like… I’m suffocating!”
“Unbelievable. From the lord, I can feel the aura of the clan leader. No, even stronger!”
“Looks like our luck is pretty good. The lord we’re following is a super strong person!”
“Speaking of which, the first zombie wave has just passed. Are the lords this season already so strong?”
“I don’t think so. I heard from my cousin that the lord he’s with is only a Class 3 expert. He’s a weak one and his treatment of his soldiers is really bad. For the past two days, he and his clansmen have been thinking about betraying the lord and escaping back to the Underworld to find another job.”
“It seems that it’s good that we have a stable and powerful lord. At least he won’t cheat our wages.”
“I think this one is powerful. Tsk tsk, look, they’re all Class 4 and 5 soldiers!”
“The other teleportation arrays have been activated too. Rangers, Cat-eared Chefs, Priests, Blacksmiths, Beast Tamers… It’s a complete set! Impressive!”
“Wait, everyone, look at the number on the recruitment order!”
“!!!”
Someone said.
A moment later, everyone noticed the recruitment order set by Lin Ye on the front of the teleportation array.
At first glance, it seemed perfectly alright, but when they looked again, everyone present was shocked. Their hearts were greatly shaken, and they turned perfectly silent.
What did they see?
Class 5 Soldier, Recruitment—500,000!!
Class 4 Soldier, Recruitment—500,000!!!
As for the other major races, there were about 300,000 of them altogether.
This was f*cking terrifying!
They had teleported over, and they knew their own value extremely well.
In other words, just the recruitment fee alone would cost their new lord close to 200 million zombie souls.
“Screech—”
Unimaginable.
Soon, the atmosphere changed.
Someone sucked in a breath of cold air. Someone’s eyes glowed while someone’s blood started boiling…
In short, their initial arrogance and valiance instantly turned into humility and they seemed to have the urge to do some bootlicking now.
What made Lin Ye speechless was that the loyalty points below his eyes were about to explode.
Loyalty +10,000 , +10,000…
100xReward.
Loyalty +1million, +1 million…
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your soldiers have experienced a supercritical hit from the charm of your money and were captivated by your charisma. Surge in loyalty has been triggered!”
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. 80% of Class 4 soldiers have become loyalists!”
“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye.. 70% of Class 5 soldiers have become loyalists!”
