"You intend to use those guilt-ridden Souls as a defensive force?"
With Qian Renxue's intelligence, she understood Lin Beiya's intentions after merely learning about Ming Xin's third Spirit Ability.
Amidst her surprise, she also felt a great deal of relief.
At least Lin Beiya wasn't acting impulsively, planning to rely on the strength of three people to build a province.
"Exactly, that's what I mean. Armor is much easier to manage than soldiers, isn't it?"
"And they don't require salaries or food."
"Over the long term, this can save a lot of expenses."
After some thought, Qian Renxue nodded, agreeing to Lin Beiya's request. It was fine to let him try first.
Any difficulties could be brought up later.
"What else? Just Armored Warriors and weapons?"
"Hmm, besides armor and weapons, we also need a group of experienced construction professionals. That place is really too dilapidated."
"Leave it to me. However, forging weapons and armor and selecting construction professionals will take some time. You should stay in the Princes Mansion for a few days first."
"Okay, thank you, Xue'er."
Qian Renxue waved her hand with a complex expression.
"No need for thanks. I just hope the force you establish won't clash with Spirit Hall in the future."
"It won't, Xue'er. I just have some friction with Bibi Dong. Everything about Spirit Hall doesn't conflict with me."
"And the force I establish will most likely be for striking down Evil Soul Masters…"
"Also, Sea God Island."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue's expression turned surprised.
"Sea God Island? How could it be related to that place?"
As a princess of Spirit Hall, she naturally learned about the existence of Sea God Island from ancient texts. Her grandfather had even led Spirit Hall forces to attack Sea God Island in his youth, only to return without success.
Lin Beiya thought for a moment, then explained the situation.
"Sea God Island has already sent people to Xinghai City to look for the three of us. As for how they knew about us, I think it's related to this."
Watching Lin Beiya point to the divine 紋 on his forehead, Qian Renxue immediately understood.
"It seems the God Position you inherited is in an opposing camp to the Sea God Position?"
"I think that's most likely the case."
With a god standing behind his opponent, Qian Renxue not only didn't worry but even showed a happy smile.
This at least meant that Spirit Hall and Lin Beiya wouldn't come to blows, right?
As for a God Position, which family didn't have a god behind them?
If Lin Beiya knew her thoughts, he would definitely tell the Little Angel, no, your family doesn't, the Angel God died long ago.
Over the next few days, Lin Beiya spent a decadent and intoxicating time in the Princes Mansion.
He disturbed Qian Renxue during the day while she worked and disturbed her at night while she slept.
She became so annoyed that she could only constantly urge the craftsmen to speed up their work.
It must be said that Qian Renxue's efficiency was quite high. 200 sets of fine armor and matching weapons were completed in three days, and hundreds of construction craftsmen were assembled on the fifth day.
After receiving the handover documents, Lin Beiya was immediately chased out of the Princes Mansion by the Little Angel.
The excuse was that he was disturbing her official duties, but in reality, her legs could no longer close tightly, so for her health, it was better to send Lin Beiya away quickly.
Reluctantly bidding farewell to the Little Angel, Lin Beiya embarked on his return journey, met with her eye-rolls.
To cover their tracks, the Spirit Saint under Qian Renxue still accompanied the team, along with hundreds of soldiers.
After escorting the craftsmen to Sarikel, the Spirit Saint and these soldiers would return to Heaven Dou City in batches.
Squeezing the card in his hand, Lin Beiya smiled knowingly.
The Little Angel, who was outwardly reluctant but inwardly kind, even slipped him a gold card before he left, containing several million gold coins.
It was to be used as startup capital for him to establish his force.
This immediately relieved Lin Beiya, who had been worried about money, and he exclaimed how comfortable it was to have a rich woman behind him.
Including his and Shi Nuo's competition prize money, this sum would be enough to sustain them for a long time.
As for future funding sources, he also had a plan.
Once the Evil Soul Masters in Sarikel's main city and the trade routes to major cities were cleared, commerce here would naturally revive. At that time, taxes would allow Sarikel to be self-sufficient; it just required a large investment in construction in the early stages.
The three brothers' task was to create a good business environment for Sarikel.
When they were not far from Xinghai City, Lin Beiya controlled a few sparrows to summon Shi Nuo and Ming Xin.
The three brothers met again at the Sarikel border.
Having not seen each other for several weeks, Shi Nuo and Ming Xin appeared somewhat surprised by the large entourage.
"Beiya, who are these people?"
"These are the craftsmen responsible for building Sarikel and the army escorting them."
"Once we reach Sarikel, the army will leave."
"After that, it will be up to us to protect these craftsmen."
Understanding the origin of these people, Shi Nuo and Ming Xin felt a great deal of pressure.
If they only faced Evil Soul Masters, they would naturally be confident, but protecting these craftsmen while fighting would be much more difficult.
Lin Beiya, however, was not overwhelmed by the pressure and smiled, pointing to the heavy objects being dragged by dozens of carriages behind him.
"Those armors, once we reach the main city, you can imbue a portion of your Soul into them to create some Soul Warriors."
"Those will be our most loyal subordinates."
"The rest is up to you."
Hearing this, Ming Xin's eyes immediately lit up. With Armored Warriors as guards, they could fight Evil Soul Masters and criminals with peace of mind. This was something he hadn't thought of.
A sense of happiness instantly filled his heart.
Ming Xin had never imagined that he would be so important to Lin Beiya.
Upon entering Saliker Province and the convoy stopping for a rest, Ming Xin immediately went to the carriages carrying the armor.
He continuously released his third Spirit Ability, creating ten Soul Armored Warriors. This was the optimal number he could maintain while keeping the armor combat-ready.
Each Armored Warrior possessed the combat power of a Spirit Master level.
Although their strength wasn't formidable, it was sufficient to delay enemies attempting to flank them.
The dozens of Soul Warriors, rising majestically, instantly attracted the attention of the craftsmen and soldiers.
At Lin Beiya's glance, the Spirit Saint spoke to reassure them, which finally eased everyone's vigilance.
Watching the Armored Warriors constantly pacing and patrolling the surroundings, the soldiers and craftsmen were filled with curiosity, exclaiming that the world was full of wonders.
The environment of Sarikel was vastly different from Heaven Dou City, and Qian Renxue had to offer significant benefits to persuade these craftsmen to come here for work.
For this, she even paid these people nearly half a year's wages in advance.
These were the talents urgently needed for the construction of Sarikel, and the three brothers had to protect them well.
Throughout the journey, Lin Beiya never relaxed his vigilance, his mental force covering a radius of tens of kilometers.
His senses had already detected many groups of Spirit Masters carrying malice, which was also the reason why Sarikel was so barren.
Here, hundreds of kilometers from Slaughter City, criminals were already so rampant; the environment further ahead was self-evident.
Fortunately, with many people on their side, those Evil Soul Masters or criminals dared not act due to their numerical disadvantage.
The group was thus able to smoothly enter Sarikel's main city.
