The Neighbor's Thoughts

"They finally left!"

Zhao Yu wiped the sweat off his forehead, "That was close!"

That had been the closest he'd come to death. Even he had soldiers and guns, but no bullets.

Fortunately, he had managed to intimidate Meng Xian.

"This won't do; we must expand our forces."

Zhao Yu felt that with their current manpower, it was hard to maintain control.

Even if they had no bullets, others didn't know that. As long as they looked like they had a large force and many guns, they could hold on for a few more days until they could manufacture ammunition.

Zhao Yu ordered the release of the eight soldiers and quickly entered the training camp.

He checked the maximum number of soldiers he could train and found out he could only train up to 23 at the moment, primarily due to a shortage of gold and silver.
