The Coming of Magic Gods
12. Expansions

"3000 Soldiers with 250 pistols, 1000 spears, 750 Crossbows, 500 Mage with a range of 5 to 7 bronze-level stars, the remaining 500 of which are reserves." one man reported to Evan.

"How many Silverlight troops are there in Iron Valley province?" Evan asked, trying to be sure.

"About 5000, but because of the rebellion, only about 2500 exist and 2000 are combat-ready, it's even in border villages far from where we are."

"Do you have a map?" Evan asked.

"Yes, one of our agents has mapped out an entire village and a nearby town." The man gave me a piece of paper.

Evan opened it and looked at the crown symbol in the middle, he saw in the right corner that interpreted the symbol, "The crown is our territory huh."

Evan then saw that there were 6 villages, 3 cities including Destry City which was closest to Baja City.

"For these 6 villages, just send 100 soldiers each, the remaining 2400 focus on controlling the City of Destry, if it has then started a wave of recruitment, make sure to do propaganda before attacking."

"For the other two cities, we will attack once the second wave of troops begins to spread throughout the village and the city, and the combat-ready ones will be sent to both cities at the same time!" obviously Evan.

"Oiya, I will lead the main force" Evan said

By foot it takes 3 days, but with the entourage it may take a week, fortunately as a soldier, they can get up in 5 days.

"100 of you will go in first, start spreading rumors that the royal army is cornered by the rebels." Evan orders the 100 most skilled people to speak.

"You will ride 5 chariots alternately, for 4 groups, the first time 25 people, the second also 25 until all of them arrive and start spreading rumors, he said, make sure some of you disguise yourself as the ones who are the victims of the repatriated rebellion."

"While the rest of us will walk slowly while occupying 2 villages on the way."

25 People quickly boarded the horse-drawn carriage, they drove quickly, while the remaining 75 would join the group until their turn came.

The journey between the City of Destry to the City of Baja is 30 Kilometers, and can be reached about 9 hours by horse carriage, during this day, the group has passed 7 kilometers, travel with the entourage is always difficult, moreover, they had to wait for 1 food supply car.

Fortunately tomorrow the day they continued on their way, they arrived at a village, causing rumors and occupying the first village under the Steel Land Empire.

The remaining 50 rumor spreaders also greatly helped make the village trust to the Steel Land Empire.

Day after day passed, and now day 5, the news was also being delivered using the fastest horse available, "All the villages are now overrun!" Evan now arguably controls a quarter of Iron Valley.

Now that they were preparing to encircle the Destry City, it could be seen that the citizens were beginning to fidget and even the city guards were a bit scared.

"flour!" Evan exclaimed outside the wall, 1900 soldiers immediately surrounded the city, shouts began to be heard from within the walls.

"Master, the border guard troops are suspicious of something, they'll be up to about 7 hours!"

"Relax, we have to trust our comrades inside."

1900 Some troops rest while others continue guarding, accompanied by 500 reserve soldiers assigned to guard the city temporarily.

Evan walked into the biggest building, followed by 5 others, "Haha, sir please sit."

Evan smiled faintly and told the 5 people to wait outside.

"I originally wanted to let you become a city official, but look at this...." Evan pours a teacup over a rabbit and the rabbit melts immediately.

"I-i...." The man was pale and startled, then took out his pressure.

Evan gaped, giving the mayor confidence, "Oh yeah?" Evan then takes out his gold-level pressure, which of course dwarfs the mayor's courage to be the size of a fingernail.

Evan grabbed the mayor's collar and forcibly took a badge that read: Mayor of Destry City then killed the man.

If the man had not tried to harm him and according to him, he might have made him a city official, or at the very least a city employee, but after trying to harm him Evan would not have let this man live.

He then came out, the reason he needed to obtain the city badge was to avoid the build-up of the City Guard Monsters.

If he were to kill the man before taking his badge, then he would have to be faced with a gold-level monster that would annihilate his army even if he survived.

Also, the reason the man finally gave in was because he was afraid that the city guard monsters would fall too fast before killing enough of Evan's army, Evan could figure out the plan hence he went along.

Within minutes there was a large army coming, "Master Evan, they don't seem to be aware of our presence." explained one of the officers.

"Is that so? trap them inside the city and grab their gear, make the experienced ones as second wave hiring coaches." As a newly established Empire, they needed to make the most of an object or being.

"It seems they did think that we were retreating." Inwardly Evan, seeing Silverlight's troops surrender one by one saw his comrades killed in plain sight.

"1000 soldiers? spread out across the military divisions, to the old or veteran and experienced, place in the Training Camp, store 195 Iron Armor Shirts and bring 5 to the Steel City, the, let them create more advanced."

"For a fairly common piece of equipment stored in the warehouse and for the treasures that resisted, give half to their families, the rest put into the imperial treasury."

Evan sat in the space of his subconscious, exhausted, he began to like the increase of his subconscious space, because whatever he did in the subconscious would increase his cultivation.

"It turns out to be a Tiring Leader huh." he muttered to himself, in the subconscious he would sometimes call upon elemental figures to train physically as well as meditate.

While the main assault on the Destry City had been completed, the soldiers who had followed the short camp immediately dispersed into each section and began to attack the other two cities, the soldiers who were following the short camp immediately dispersed into each section and began to attack the other two, one of them gave up easily while the other took hundreds of lives.

"With this we have mastered Iron Valley, from now on, the name will be changed to Steel Valley!" Evan gave a message to the Baja City.

They could not imagine what happened to them, an underground city that became rich and advanced, became an Empire and controlled a province.

"Long live Emperor Evan!"
