I really became a king.

Chapter 591 The Situation of the Thirty-Six Guards
While forming the Taimangfu Army, Jiang Yi also formed his own personal army in the Yinshan Realm.

Just like when forming the Taimangfu Army, all tribes were included when forming the personal army.

The royal army camp was directly under the command of Jiang Yi. In addition to the eight thousand Youfeng Cavalry, it also included wolf cavalry, ape guards, tauren guards, as well as many tribal warriors such as dwarves and goblins.

The total structure is also 100,000 people, mainly humans, with the largest number of tribal warriors and wolf cavalry, a total of 10,000 people. These wolf cavalry have been trained in the palm camp and are loyal.

Then came the Minotaur, five thousand of them, and the rest numbered one thousand, two thousand, or even a few hundred.

The imperial army camp was built at the foot of Kongtong Mountain, guarding the only entrance in and out of Kongtong Mountain.

Jiang Yi also had a sudden inspiration and built a "Kongtong Posthouse" at the foot of Kongtong Mountain, which was considered the first checkpoint in and out of Kongtong Mountain.

After passing through Kongtong Posthouse, you will reach the mountain gate guarded by the imperial army camp.

It was also because of this that the area around Kongtong Posthouse instantly became the most prosperous area in the entire Taimang city.

Although Jiang Yi formed the Taimangfu Army and the Royal Army Camp, many people found that the organization was incomplete because most of the mid- and lower-level officer positions were vacant.

However, news soon came out that the first batch of disciples of the Royal Kongtong Academy will be selected from the Taimang Army, and these people will be transferred to the Taimang Army in the future to serve as middle and lower-level officers at all levels.

Many forces that had been paying attention to Taimang, especially those in the northern region, secretly breathed a sigh of relief after receiving this news.

At least for a few years, Taimang will not expand outward.

As for taking the initiative to attack, it would be too reckless and all forces simply don't have the intention to do so.

There are as many as twenty or thirty strongest people in the eighth realm. Unless they are fools, they will never take the initiative to provoke a dispute.

It was precisely because of this power that they did not encounter any resistance when they took over Xihai City and other city-states that originally belonged to the Xingyue tribe.

Even Tuoba Xingye's eldest son Tuoba Hong, who controlled Dongyue City, made a special trip to Kongtong Posthouse and requested to meet Jiang Yi.

As for other small city-states, there was no suspense at all. The leaders came forward with the city lord's seal in their hands to pay homage to Jiang Yi, the leader of Taireu.

Jiang Yi did not put on airs anymore, because in the face of absolute strength, there was no need for that. After comforting them, he let the city lords, including Tuoba Hong, go back and continue to serve as city lords.

However, he did take back the military power and the power to appoint and dismiss personnel.

None of the city lords, big and small, dared to say anything.

Moreover, they all know that they are just transitional city lords and will not be in office for long. In the future, the city will be taken over by the cronies of Lord Taimang.

However, if he could become Taimang's confidant before that, he would most likely continue to stay in office, and many city lords suddenly became interested.

In addition, Jiang Yi also issued a gag order: no one is allowed to talk about the life experience of the deceased Ninth Prince Tuoba Liu. This can be regarded as a kind of protection for Tuoba Liu's family.

As for the navigation compass mentioned by Tuoba Liu, Jiang Yi also found it and had it sent to Tuoba Mansion in Xihai City.

However, the Tuoba Mansion did not confiscate it, but instead sent it back on its own initiative. The meaning was very clear: they would never go overseas again, nor would they spy on the mysterious island again, and would stay in Taimang forever.

Tuoba Liu's widow even asked to see her aunt Jiang Ning, expressing her wish to leave the West Sea and move her family to the huge city of Taimang.

Aunt Jiang Ning agreed, but when she talked about this with Jiang Yi, her eyes were always strange, with a strong warning. Because she knew her younger brother's preferences very well, the widow looked very attractive, and she was afraid that Jiang Yi would have some ideas.

Jiang Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. No matter how beautiful Tuoba Liu's widow was, he would not get involved with her. He knew the pros and cons very well.

Moreover, the thirty-six imperial guards stationed in the south of the Dark Canyon suddenly became anxious when they received Taimang's order to expand the palace army to one million.

For a huge city, an army of one million is already a lot, so wouldn't their hundreds of thousands of people be redundant?
Where is the way out for the Thirty-Six Imperial Guards?
Although they were basically self-sufficient, they only had the most basic food rations, and the rest of the daily necessities needed to be provided by the surrounding city-states.

However, since the new lord came to power, all the city-states that were originally affiliated with the Star-Moon Tribe have turned to Taimang and cut off support for the Thirty-Six Royal Guards.

As a result, the Thirty-Six Imperial Guards fell into a certain division, with some people advocating to relinquish their military power and go to Taimang to pay homage to the new master.

However, it was strongly opposed by many people. These people had radical ideas and advocated a complete breakup. They led the 36 imperial guards to leave the Taimang tribe's sphere of influence and establish a new home or join other tribes.

It was also because of this disagreement that many forces saw an opportunity and secretly sent envoys to the camp of the Thirty-Six Imperial Guards.

There were human tribes, alien tribes, and even several other giant city tribes of humans secretly sent envoys from thousands of miles away.

Their base camp is far away from here. Even if they really recapture these hundreds of thousands of troops, they cannot bring them back. However, they can rely on hundreds of thousands of troops to establish a stronghold in this northern region.

Other forces, including alien tribes, basically share the same idea.

The camp of the Thirty-Six Imperial Guards suddenly became lively, and even some commanders no longer hid their behavior and contacted these envoys openly.

Among these envoys was the tenth prince Tuoba Yu, who had escaped the net.

But Taimang did not react at all, so many people believed that the leader of Taimang must have retreated and really gave up the thirty-six guards.

After all, this is an army of hundreds of thousands of well-trained elite soldiers. If they really form a military formation, even the strongest person in the eighth realm will be helpless.

This is the case whether on the Wilderness Road or in the Yinshan Realm. Soldier against soldier, king against king, only an organized army can defeat hundreds of thousands of elite troops. It cannot be one or a few people, not even the strongest person in the eighth realm.

Of course, even with an army of hundreds of thousands, it is very difficult to surround and kill a supreme being. After all, the strongest person in the eighth realm of martial arts has many ways to escape.

This was also the fundamental reason why the five tribes including the Dragon People had left the Thirty-Six Imperial Guards unattended. Before forming a large army to match them, they had no confidence in subduing or suppressing hundreds of thousands of Imperial Guards.

In the eyes of many forces, the Taimang tribe was in the same situation. They were simply powerless in the face of the unruly 36 imperial guards.

Even though there were millions of troops, they were all newly formed and could not defeat hundreds of thousands of elite troops.

Jiang Yi did not comment on these rumors, and the entire Taimang kept silent about them, for fear of angering their master.

But people like Tian Buyi and Dong Chengyang, who know Jiang Yi better, know that this is not the case at all.

Their master is best at keeping his temper, but once he strikes, it will be a thundering blow.

Moreover, senior officials like Dong Chengyang have already vaguely sensed something. For example, the [Zhenfu Division], one of the three major underground forces in Prince Yi's Palace, has disappeared for a long time.

As for Jiang Yi, he had already returned to Prince Yi's Palace in Western Xinjiang.
