Chapter 74: Stabilise the Town
Yang Feng watched as his soldiers prepared for battle and Guang Fai quietly approached and said "My lord we are ready for battel"
Yang Feng nodded and shouted raising his weapon to the sky "FOR OUR VICTORY" and the soldiers followed soon.
In another place, two armies amounting more than a hundred soldiers were ready to face against and the battle at any moment. In front of the armies were two men who were standing, one of them was wearing extravagant armour which stood out from others. It was probably worn to look cool and different than others while another village leader was calm as the sea. He and another village leader were watching their enemies. The man with extravagant armour yawned and said: "Why don't we charge right now??"
A soldier behind the back tried to refute him but he was stopped by another village leader who said "It is not wise to charge against the enemies meaninglessly. If we were to charge right now only our soldiers will be killed for nothing"
The man with extravagant armour harrumphed with displeasure but didn't say anything and continued to watch his enemies.
At the same, the two men in front of another army watched their enemy. One of them said "I guess they aren't stupid enough to charge"
Another man said mockingly "I guess he is patient as ever"
The soldiers watched each other for half an hour. Both armies were growing tired for just standing half an hour. Some of them started to yawn and a soldier in the back even slept.
The man with extravagant armour yawned and said angrily "I am already getting tired if you don't attack right now I will leave immediately"
Another man seems to be very calm but anger could be seen in his eyes he couldn't help but shout "Charge" and the soldiers charged at their enemies while the other two lords smiled with a mockery.
In the [Unrestrained Divine Town]
Guang Fai approached Yang Feng and half-kneeled "My lord we are ready to attack"
Yang Feng nodded and pointed his sword to a village "ATTACK"
After an hour and a half,
The soldier who stood behind the extravagant armour and the calm person leader. His hand had been hacked during the battle. He slowly walked to his leader and said "Village leader you shouldn't have listened to that foolish leader"
Even though they lost the battle and their soldier died, their leader was still calm but he lost his calm expression and started to laugh like a mad man and said "I am the one who is the real fool"
The battle was lost and their village would soon be targeted.
The soldier said "Village leader we can still regroup and fight on or we can retreat to our village"
The man who was laughing like a mad person calmed himself and said "Yes we still have a chance"
In another battlefield,
Guang Fai was covered in blood with a scar in his face, he quickly half kneeled and said "My lord we have captured two villages and their leaders"
Yang Feng looked above the sky and said calmly "Execute them"
Lord's manor
Yang Feng slowly relaxed in his bed and said to himself "I guess I can even devour humans too now then let's see how I have gained"

His current territory was now more than 300 square km and his soldiers had increased more than 350 soldiers but the political stability and happiness had dramatically decreased.
He now had to stabilise the situation of the town. Yang Feng had ordered to distribute two golds coins to each family who had lost their members in the battle so he was sure it would stabilise the situation. Giving two gold coins was not expensive but it was worth it. Yang Feng wanted to increase the loyalty of the people and giving two gold coins truly did the work. Yang Feng now had to train his new soldiers into well-disciplined and effective soldiers. It would be easy for him to train them. Yang Feng's town was a low-level town but his strength was comparable to Mid-level town. He only needed to build structures to advance to a higher level but Yang Feng wanted to stabilise the situation and then advance.
