Chapter 717 All his efforts are accomplished in one battle
"This is the front line. The nearest enemy stronghold is only one kilometer away. Is it really okay for you to train your troops in a place like this?"
Kahili handed him a glass of ice water. During this period, Yang Ming worked all night and often had to stay up late. Kahili was responsible for taking care of his daily life and sometimes even stayed up late with him.
"Thank you," Yang Ming took the ice water and drank it all in one gulp. "It is precisely because Huiklani Mountain is very close to the front line that I deliberately chose this place to train the troops."
Kahili didn't understand what he meant and could only listen to him explain slowly.
"We've grown so rapidly recently. In less than two weeks, our manpower has tripled. These new recruits lack combat experience and are easily eliminated by elite enemies, such as Guzma's Skull Corps."
"But now that the Skull Corps has evacuated Alola, these refugee armies actually have a significant advantage," Yang Ming continued. "First, they're all natives of Ula'ula Island. They have a strong sense of territorial integrity and won't flee like those veteran soldiers. Secondly, they've been living in poverty for a long time and desperately need a way to rise. They're often very brave when attacking a city, possessing an indomitable spirit."
"Of course, these advantages can become a recipe for death when facing a battle-hardened enemy, but right now, Ula Ula Island is just a bunch of worthless wretch," Yang Ming said calmly. "To put it bluntly, my current power on Ula Ula Island, while not dominating the world, is already a standout."
Hearing this, Kahili immediately understood what he meant.
"Are you saying that our enemy's morale is currently at its lowest point, and you're deliberately training here just to intimidate them?"
"That's right," Yang Ming said with a confident smile. "I want to let them know that not only do we dare to train under their noses, but we will also be able to reach their doorstep in a short time. They have to make the decision now: surrender or die."
Kahili didn't expect that Yang Ming had such a far-reaching strategy, and she couldn't help but admire him even more. When she thought about being able to witness Yang Ming's rise step by step with her own eyes, Kahili couldn't help but feel proud of her vision.
He is truly the man I like.
"Since you have such big plans, I can't sit idle any longer. I'll go back to Akala Island tomorrow and talk to the elders of my family to see if we can transfer people from the group to help you manage the rear."
Yang Ming immediately nodded in agreement. Kahili's arrangement was exactly what he wanted. After all, just managing these newly occupied towns and villages had consumed too much of his energy. If Kahili could bring in more people, he could concentrate on the Northern Expedition.
"By the way, that female celebrity's injury is almost healed. I heard that she will bring the remaining troops you left on Akala Island to support you. Then you won't have to worry about the problem of insufficient troops."
When Xiao Juer was mentioned, Kahili's face became a little unnatural. Although she could feel before that she and Yang Ming seemed to be just friends, but since they went to an abandoned supermarket, the relationship between the two seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.
"That's great. I will pick her up in person when the time comes." Yang Ming didn't think too much about it. He simply felt that Xiao Juer's ability to bring people over would solve his urgent problem.
Yang Ming's "intimidation-style training" soon took effect. Within a few days, a small military leader led his men to surrender to him.
This little creature was none other than the "Mountain Python" that Yang Ming had known before.
Zoushanmang was originally a younger brother of Fanshanyao. Since the death of Fanshanyao, his life has become more and more difficult, especially after "David Dai" Liangzi completely replaced Fanshanyao's position, Zoushanmang, an old subordinate of Fanshanyao, became an abandoned pawn.
When Zou Shan Mang discovered that his base was actually on the front line, his heart sank completely. Especially when he could hear the shouts and cries of the new recruits under "Yang Paopao" every morning, it frightened him so much that he couldn't sleep.
Finally, after several days of ideological struggle, Zou Shanmang decided to surrender with his subordinates.
When the Mountain Python saw that the "King of Chaos" Yang Paopao in front of him was actually the little minion "Qiong Gui" he had known before, he was so shocked that he was speechless.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"No, nothing..." The Mountain Python said hesitantly. He didn't dare to reveal Yang Ming's identity to his face. He could only bury this secret in his heart and never tell it out for the rest of his life.
Yang Ming was very welcome to Zou Shanmang's surrender. Although Zou Shanmang had less than 100 men under his command at that time, he was the first military leader to surrender voluntarily, which was of great significance.
So Yang Ming annexed all of Mountain Python's troops, broke them up and mixed them into his own troops. As for Mountain Python himself, Yang Ming retained all his Pokémon and property, and gave him a villa in the southern part of Ula Ula Island so that he could become a rich man.
However, the Mountain Python was obviously unwilling to live such a dull life. He immediately asked Yang Ming for instructions, saying that he had a good relationship with the small military leaders stationed near Huiklani Mountain and could help Yang Ming persuade these people to surrender.
Yang Ming naturally welcomed this, so he gave Zou Shan Mang some activity funds and asked him to persuade those military leaders to surrender.
Soon, several military leaders came with their men to surrender.
These people were originally marginal figures, and their backers all died in the battle of Ultimate Metropolis, so they were sent by Yoshiko to be cannon fodder.
When these people found out that the first to surrender, the Mountain Python, was not only not killed but also had all its Pokémon and assets retained, they were also moved and immediately came to surrender with their own troops.
After all, giving up power and becoming a rich man is a better ending than being crushed to death by the army of the King of Chaos.
In this way, Yang Ming occupied all the strongholds near Huikalani Mountain without bloodshed, and also recruited hundreds of people to surrender.
Through the oral accounts of these surrendered military leaders, Yang Ming also learned about the recent situation of the five major warlords including "David Dai".
Ever since they learned that Yang Ming was attacking and plundering cities in the southern part of Ula Ula Island, "David Dai" Liangzi and others have been completely panicked. They wanted to find Guzma from the Skeleton Team to join forces, but found that the Skeleton Team had already evacuated from Ula Ula Island.
In desperation, Liangzi and others began to make stupid moves. They first forcibly conscripted a large number of soldiers, forcibly conscripting all the local young and middle-aged men into the army, and gathered an army known as "100,000 people". Then, in order to feed these people, they levied heavy taxes, causing panic in the local people, and refugees fled from the north to the south every day.
And even in this situation, Liangzi and others were still eliminating dissidents and sending those small military leaders without background to the front line as cannon fodder.
After hearing the news, Yang Ming knew that now was a good time for him to unify Ula Ula Island.
"This opportunity is rare. I must take advantage of it now to kill my opponent in one fell swoop, so as to avoid any more trouble later." Yang Ming made a decision in his heart.
