Douluo: I Have an Unnamed Law

Chapter 300 Transport Captain Yu Xiaogang
"Elder, what should we do with this army?"

A lieutenant approached and asked respectfully.

Gu Han glanced at the abandoned Xingluo army. Now that they had lost their commander, their mobility had become extremely poor, and even those at the rear had begun to show signs of desertion.

The group was leaderless and disorganized.

Gu Han flew into the air, channeling his soul power. His voice seemed to come from the heavens above, reaching the ears of everyone present.

"Your commander has been defeated and fled. If you are willing to lay down your weapons and surrender to my Spirit Hall, I can assure you that we will not harm you in the slightest. If you are willing, my Spirit Hall can also safely take your families to settle outside Spirit City. There is plenty of food and education here. Even if you are not a Spirit Master, my Spirit Hall will still provide education so that you can learn to read."

Gu Han didn't waste any words and presented the most practical conditions. These people were all conscripted from the common people, not Soul Masters, but ordinary soldiers. After all, at present, only the Spirit Hall or all the sects on the continent could unite to form a Soul Master army.

Even among the three upper sects, a single sect can only gather a maximum of two to three thousand soul masters.

Upon hearing this, some of the junior officers below also began to waver.

Until the first person laid down their weapon, and then, like dominoes, one person after another laid down their weapons.

Seeing this, the junior officers had no choice but to dismount and squat down as well.

Seeing this, Gu Han smiled. It was truly an effortless windfall. So many able-bodied young men and women could farm on foot and fight on horseback. He was truly grateful to the captain of the Yuda Transportation Team.

“Very good, you have made the wisest choice. Next, someone will register you. Once you are registered, you will be residents here. You can freely cultivate the wasteland outside the city. The more land you cultivate, the more land you will be allocated.”

"As for your relatives and friends, our Spirit Hall will send people to bring them safely to Spirit City."

Upon hearing this, a young soldier immediately stood up and shouted, "I am willing to die for the Spirit Hall!"

"I am willing to die for the Spirit Hall!!"

"I am willing to die for the Spirit Hall!!!"

More people began to chime in, shouting loudly.

There was no other way; Gu Han had given them too much. They could go to school and get land redistributed, even though they had to cultivate it themselves, but that was no big deal.

Of the 50,000 people, some were killed, leaving more than 40,000, which is more than 40,000 families. This is a considerable burden for the Spirit Hall, but not a major problem.

With these people, the Spirit Hall's strength naturally increased significantly.

Even now, there are still refugees flocking to Wuhun City, and Wuhun Hall welcomes them all.

Of course, before checking in, a healing-type Soul Master will confirm that the person has not contracted the plague. Only after confirming that there is no problem will they be allowed to pass. If the person is sick, then they will be treated first before being allowed to pass.

With a healing-type Soul Master present, almost everyone can be saved unless they are beyond medical help or there is no way to save them.

Some time ago, Gu Han invited the old doctor Ye Renxin to Wuhun City, entrusting him with the command of all the healing-type soul masters in Wuhun City, and also equipping him with many offensive and defensive soul masters for protection.

Although the grain harvest was almost entirely unsuccessful, the vegetables planted in the spring were able to be harvested.

Wuhun City is located inland. Although there are mountains, most of the land is plains. Crops such as corn should be planted as soon as possible. As long as we can hold out until around the fifteenth of August, Wuhun City's food problem can be completely solved.

Of course, this is all on the premise that God doesn't cause any more trouble.

Fortunately, the heavens have been kind to Wuhun City. From the beginning of spring until now, there has been ample rainfall, but not too much, so the vegetables and grains have grown well.

Arranging nearly 50,000 people naturally takes a considerable amount of time. The Spirit City publicly declared these people as prisoners of war in order to prevent the Star Luo Empire from learning that these soldiers had surrendered and punishing their relatives.

This was also to make it easier for the Spirit Hall to bring the soldiers' families to Spirit City later. Of these 50,000 men, some chose to remove their armor and join the construction work outside the city, while others, about 20,000, chose to join the Cloud Cavalry.

With Tang De dead, Gu Han had no choice but to let Shi Dong take the lead and appoint him as the commander of the Cloud Cavalry, responsible for training and educating the 20,000 newly enlisted soldiers.

Shi Dong had read Gu Han's version of Sun Tzu's Art of War. Although it was impossible to completely replicate it—after all, Gu Han had read it in his previous life when he had nothing to do, he couldn't possibly memorize it all—it was sufficient for use in a place like Douluo Continent.

Moreover, Sun Tzu's Art of War is not merely a military treatise; it contains knowledge of philosophy, politics, and diplomacy, making it a very comprehensive book on governance.

This is one of the reasons why Shi Dong was able to become the deputy general of the Cloud Cavalry so quickly and gain the respect of the troops.

Tang De's death saddened Shi Dong, as they had spent a considerable amount of time together in the military camp and had developed a deep camaraderie.

Previously, Shi Dong's goal had always been to become the commander of the Cloud Cavalry, but he wanted to defeat Tang De fair and square, rather than take over after Tang's death.

Now that he has become the commander of the Cloud Cavalry, Shi Dong feels no joy whatsoever. Instead, he is filled with sorrow for Tang De's death and hatred for Yu Xiaogang.

Gu Han had already returned to the Spirit Hall. He still had many things to do, and the person in charge of supervising the registration here was naturally Shi Dong.

He stood atop the hill, looking down at the Star Luo soldiers lining up to register one by one, a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"Senior brother."

A slightly heroic voice came from behind him. Shi Dong pulled back his sadness, turned around, and saw his junior sister, Dongfang Lingyun, walking towards him.

The opponent was dressed in red armor, with his long hair tied in a high ponytail with a red ribbon, and he moved with light steps, exuding a heroic and dashing air.

"Junior sister, aren't you with your master's wife? Why are you here?"

Shi Dong was slightly puzzled. His master's wife was pregnant. Although Senior A Yin was taking care of her, there were also his junior sister and junior uncle, two noisy little ones, there. Obviously, he couldn't manage them all. So his junior sister usually practiced her spear and looked after the children.

His sudden appearance was somewhat unexpected.

Dongfang Lingyun chuckled and said, "What, can't I come?"

Shi Dong was speechless for a moment, then thought for a second and said, "Did Master send you here?"

"Well, Master thinks that you might not be able to manage so many people by yourself, so he asked me to help you."

Dongfang Lingyun nodded. It was indeed Gu Han who had sent her, but the specific details differed somewhat from what Dongfang Lingyun had described.

Gu Han summoned Dongfang Lingyun because he saw that the girl had plenty of energy but nowhere to use it, so he planned to let her train in the army with Shi Dong.

Sure enough, as soon as she was told to go into battle, this girl even put on her armor.

Although Shi Dong was honest, he wasn't stupid. He knew that his master wouldn't let his junior sister lead the army without any experience. It seemed that he would have to guide her himself.

But it's all good. My junior sister's talent and strength far surpass mine, and she's also intelligent. With a little tempering, she'll become a great leader.

It's only natural for a senior brother to take care of a junior sister, and it's also Master's wish, so Shi Dong naturally wouldn't refuse.

"In that case, you can stay by my side from now on."

"Alright, I'll follow your orders, Senior Brother!"

Dongfang Lingyun immediately stood at attention, looking very serious. Of course, it would have been even more perfect if you ignored the playful wink she gave him afterward.
