The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 974 - 950: The Operation Has Grown Too Large

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the gazette in her hand.

"Recently, a new Red Flame God has emerged, commanding an army of over a hundred thousand. It's said that his skills are exceptional, and his Red Flame Spear is nearly invincible. The court is very troubled and wants to recruit him, but unfortunately, he refuses. It's said that the Red Flame God is quite fierce.

He intends to become emperor himself.

His Majesty the Emperor is very troubled, sending troops to wipe him out, but several attempts have been foiled."

"Red Flame Spear?!"

Xiao Nine leaped out, "Sister, sister, it's Number Ten, it must be Number Ten. The Red Flame Spear is an energy conversion attack method that Number Ten uses, it must be him."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned, "Who is this Red Flame God? Why is Number Ten helping this person?"

It's very clear that Number Ten is now supporting this Red Flame God. What this person intends to do is obvious, he's aiming to rebel and dominate this world.

Jiang Xiaoxiao doesn't really care who becomes emperor in this world.

What she cares about is how to take control of Number Ten. If Number Ten has such a strong backing, and this person wants to create an empire and become a legendary emperor, then what should she do?

She wants to seize the power that the person relies on.

This clearly is to oppose them, and with the people she has at hand, it's like using eggs to hit stones going against an army of over a hundred thousand.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had a headache.

"Sister, I can only deal with Number Ten. I'll quietly capture him when he's not paying attention. But if he discovers us here, he might escape quickly."

Xiao Nine, like a somewhat helpless child, felt it's challenging to assist Jiang Xiaoxiao and looked a little pitiful.

Jiang Xiaoxiao comforted it, "Xiao Nine, don't be scared, we will definitely find a way, don't worry."

"It's actually my fault. If last time I could have captured Number Ten directly a bit earlier without rekindling old ties, he wouldn't have been able to escape."

Xiao Nine blamed itself.

Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head, "That's quite normal, no one can predict the outcome of everything. Since we encountered such a situation, we'll find a way to solve it, rest assured, your sister has a solution for such things. Isn't it just over a hundred thousand people? He has over a hundred thousand people, can't I rally a hundred thousand people myself?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao assured with a chest-thumping boldness.

Xiao Nine happily leapt, "Sister, really?"

"Yes!"

"Then I can relax, sister, I'll go back. I'll make a weapon to capture Number Ten. I won't fail this time."

After saying that, it disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Xiaoxiao chuckled bitterly; even though she spoke boldly earlier, rallying over a hundred-thousand people is easier said than done.

Currently, the hundreds of people in the village already gave her a bit of a headache, let alone gathering tens of thousands.

Moreover, to confront the opponent means facing war eventually. With her current skills, simple soldier training is fine, but leading as a general, especially ancient warfare differs from modern war, requires tactical deployment and all sorts of strategies.

For her IQ in practicing medicine, no problem — how to save people, with what methods, Jiang Xiaoxiao is a hundred percent confident.

But now facing war like this simply troubles her as a doctor.

It's not her specialty.

Obviously, it's urgent to change direction. First, she needs to consider it.

She needs talents, a lot of them. Recruiting talents is her primary goal.

Currently, relying on Li Tieniu and Lin Dawang, clearly, these two can manage small scale leadership.

If truly relying on them to lead troops into battle, there indeed might be significant issues.

Meanwhile, recruitment and military provisions are necessary; having a large silver reserve at hand is a must.

There must be grain supplies; if needed, a stable supply line for acquiring food to support future battles is crucial.

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt overwhelmed. Why is this becoming increasingly complex?

Clearly, if this was a plan, what started as a two-page document has turned into dozens of pages.

Jiang Xiaoxiao returned indoors to brood secretly.

Human resources!?

Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes brightened.

For now, she couldn't overly rush; nothing happens all at once.

Besides recruiting refugees, nearby, there are numerous bandit groups, each holding at least tens or at most hundreds of people at their disposal.

Integrating these people could bolster her numbers.

Gradually expanding manpower, but even then, finding experienced combat leaders is crucial.

Since it's a chaotic era now, with many corrupt officials, truly aspiring talents naturally feel stifled.

They may lack other skills but have read and experienced a lot. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Even disregarding all the modern strategic plays, even the ancient classic "Water Margin" contained numerous talents.

Each of the 108 heroes came from constrained backgrounds, each ultimately turning to banditry out of helplessness.

Hence, this chaotic era should likewise reflect this.

She should firstly survey the prison in their main city; there could be such talents hidden.

Jiang Xiaoxiao made up her mind.

She summoned Li Tieniu and Lin Dawang for a meeting.

With silver in hand, the city walls of Li Family Village had long since been constructed.

Their walls built more solidly because Li Family Village and the Lin family village are nearly adjacent, separated only by a river.

Once their walls were completed this time, they encompassed a vast area of wasteland.

Furthermore, under Jiang Xiaoxiao's instructions, many refugees got recruited from the main city.

One aspect is refugees building the city wall, another is opening up wasteland.

All eligible men from both villages gathered for training. After breaking them up, they no longer distinguished between Li and Lin families.

All got organized into small squads, ten people per group, each led by a captain. Of course, the captains were veterans trained by Jiang Xiaoxiao herself.

They already mastered training techniques and, through bloody battles, understood how critical these skills are for upcoming fights.

Additionally, Jiang Xiaoxiao always reminded them, exploiting local resources from mountains and waters. These villages back onto a dozen or so mountain ranges, lush with forests, villagers seldom ventured except for firewood. Even seasoned hunters needed companions.

There are plenty of wild animals on the mountains, but to them, this is a fertile resource; all the meat came from hunting in the mountains.

Of course, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't continue exploiting them. They've now started raising chickens and pigs and even fishing shrimp and crabs from the river.
