Zhang Sheng, clad in a blue robe, sat in the City Lord Mansion of the new city, counting the troops.
This year, the Xu Family's youths gave birth to another wave, only twice devouring each other, with a net increase of three thousand people. The first batch of children born, though not old, already look like young adults, and their intelligence matches that of an average eighteen-year-old.
Now, including those who have not yet grown up, the Xu Family's youths number nearly seventy thousand, with close to fifty thousand usable soldiers. Warriors born of sacrifices number over twenty thousand. Among the fifty thousand Xu Family youths, there are over four thousand Dao Foundation, plus one thousand from sacrifices, totaling five thousand four hundred Dao Foundation cultivators in the new city, all combat cultivators.
The Xu Family youths have the talent to support more Dao Foundations, but many children grow too quickly, lacking years of true cultivation, needing time to accumulate.
