After understanding the complex situation, Yang Ling began to prepare for the worst. He secretly ordered Gu De to accumulate armor, weapons and food, while he himself went to the Barbarian tribe and Elf tribe to recruit 100 barbarian warriors and 50 elven archers again. In addition to the 100 hunters recruited in Weisen Town, he had several hundred guards at his disposal.

  After repeated consideration, in order to improve combat effectiveness, Yang Ling divided the many warriors into Swordsmen Battalion, Cavalry Battalion, Vanguard Battalion and Archer Battalion. Among them, the Swordsmen Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion were led by Kassy, while the Vanguard Battalion and the Archer Battalion were temporarily led by himself.

  In addition, under Gude's suggestion, Yang Ling also established a logistics camp, which was responsible for the supply of weapons, armor and food, and was personally commanded by Gude. As a former imperial military equipment general, Gude was extremely familiar with the major and minor matters of the army's logistics, and the logistics camp quickly got on the right track under his command.

  More than 200 fierce barbarians, more than 100 agile elf archers, nearly 300 high-level swordsmen, plus the magnificent castle and the initial scale of the beast army, Yang Ling believed that unless the enemy sent a large army of tens of thousands to launch a strong attack, it would be absolutely impossible to break in. The only regret was that there were too few mages, with Gu De and Sophia included, there were only five people, otherwise, they would have been even more fearless.

  Yang Ling had also considered expanding the range of the maze to the entire castle, but after carefully calculating the required crystal cores, he reluctantly gave up. The Visen Castle was simply too large, and without tens of thousands of magic beast crystal cores, it would be impossible to build such a massive maze.

  Hunting or buying tens of thousands of magic beast cores is unrealistic, he pinned his hopes on the crystal stone, hoping that one day he could have a crystal mine of his own. At that time, not to mention the maze array, even expanding the soul gathering array to the entire castle would be no problem at all.

  After handing over the matters clearly, Yang Ling began to retreat and cultivate. Recently, he felt that he had reached a bottleneck, and as long as he broke through it, he believed he could advance to an intermediate-level spirit witch.

  To ensure his safety during the closed-door training, he ordered Agu Su to lead the heavy guards to guard the courtyard where he was located, and summoned all the Angle Beasts, Evil Eyes, Unicorns, and Withered Wood Warriors to protect him.

  The situation in Weisen Town is getting more and more complicated, no one knows if there will be any top masters or heavenly killers sneaking in quietly, he doesn't want to be stabbed from behind while cultivating.

  After sitting down with his legs crossed, he looked at the withered wooden warriors that had transformed into ancient trees around him, and then glanced at a life tree sapling not far away that was already as tall as a person. Yang Ling's heart stirred, and he tried to use his mind in two ways at once, circulating the witch power inside his body while silently reciting the Tong Ling incantation. Slowly but surely, not only did the thick heavenly and earthly spiritual energy penetrate his body, but the large trees around him and the ancient trees transformed from the withered wooden warriors also emitted strands of faint green light.

  Under the clear and bright Lingtai, he felt that the heavenly spiritual energy surging in was becoming more and more majestic, and the green life energy absorbed was also becoming thicker. After the two energies were mixed together, they automatically rotated along the mysterious trajectory, one circle after another, faster and faster. Every time a cycle was completed, his bones and meridians would be tempered once.

  As time passed, Yang Ling felt as if he was floating on clouds, his whole body relaxed and comfortable. Slowly, the whispers of the barbarians disappeared, the rustling sounds of the distant forest also faded away, and his consciousness became increasingly hazy. If someone were to pass by, they would see his body sometimes turn bright red, sometimes dark green, and then slowly fade away, even disappearing into thin air...

  After an unknown period of time, a gust of cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew by, and Yang Ling felt a hint of coolness. He slowly opened his eyes to see the sky filled with snowflakes, the distant Tras Forest was a vast expanse of white, and the ancient tree beside him, which was transformed from the withered wooden warrior, was also covered in accumulated snow.

  Winter has finally arrived!

  As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt that the entrance of the courtyard was crowded with people. Going out to take a look, he saw Kassy, Sophia and Mulberry, etc., all walking back and forth anxiously, almost everyone had arrived.

  "Yang Ling, you've finally come out! If you hadn't, something big would have happened!" Just as Yang Ling opened the wooden door, the short man Rumy shouted loudly, "Poor me, I haven't had a drink in almost a month, heaven, who's more pitiful than me?"

  Looking at the crying and depressed-looking dwarf Rumi, Yang Ling shook his head, "Why are you all crowded here, what happened?"

  "Yang Ling, the Ye Lai Xiang wine house was smashed!" Seeing Yang Ling finally come out, Sophia rushed into his arms without caring about anything else, tears streaming down her face. If she hadn't known that he couldn't be disturbed during his quiet meditation, she would have rushed in long ago.

  The Jasmine Fragrance Wine House was smashed?

  Yang Ling was surprised, in Weisen Town, who is this blind guy so bold?

  Could it be that certain lord...?

  Yang Ling was puzzled and his face turned gloomy. Soon, under Gude's explanation, he knew that he had not guessed wrong.

  It turned out that he had been in seclusion for a whole month and a half. Just half a month ago, a noble named Steve brought a 3,000-strong Black Armor Army, claiming to be the Viscount of Weisen Town appointed by the King of the Pant Empire. Declaring that from now on, the entire area within a radius of 5,000 miles around Weisen Town was his personal territory.

  As soon as he arrived in Visen Town, Steff, the so-called lord, stirred up a bloody storm, massacring mercenaries and adventurers from the Rosso Empire. The forces of the Rosso Empire did not give up either, hiding in the Tras Forest to recover their strength, and occasionally sending out assassins to kill Steff's soldiers.

  For a time, Weisheng Town was filled with the gleam of knives and swords, with many people dying violently in the streets every day, throwing the entire town into a state of panic.

  Perhaps it was because the black-clad warrior had suffered a great loss last time and did not dare to act rashly, considering Yang Ling's powerful strength. Perhaps he thought that the timing was not right, but when Steve first started, he didn't even dare to openly deal with ordinary townspeople. However, after driving out the forces of the Ross Empire and gaining control, he finally showed his true colors and began to extort taxes from door to door.

  Merchants have to pay taxes, woodcutters have to pay taxes, even hunters have to pay taxes. Moreover, this so-called lord Stef still doesn't let go of infants who are still drinking milk, and levies a head tax on them. Even if an old man has already died, as long as he hasn't been buried yet, he still has to pay the head tax. The town's people are resentful, but without Yang Ling's support, they all dare not speak out.

  At first, Steve didn't dare to pay attention to Yang Ling, but as he received more and more crystal coins, his appetite also grew. First, he set his sights on the booming business of the Night Fragrance Wine House.

  One night, several Black Armor soldiers made an excuse that there was a dead fly in the Langmu wine and beat up bartender John, even attempting to take liberties with the young and beautiful female waitress. After being stopped by the barbarian guards, over 100 neatly dressed Black Armor soldiers suddenly rushed out of the darkness, crazily attacking the barbarian warriors guarding them. Fortunately, Kassy heard the news and led a large army to arrive in time, rescuing the panicked waitress and the seriously injured barbarians.

  Although the people were rescued, the Night Comes Wine House and Winery were smashed to pieces. The Black Armor Army, like thugs, even shamelessly claimed that they would go to Visen Castle to capture people.

  To catch people inside Visen Castle?

  "Haha, good, a great lord!" Sophia, who had spent countless efforts on the Night Fragrance Wine House and Brewery, was tightly hugged by Yang Ling with a cold smile.

  There are two kinds of bad people in the world. One kind, after being severely taught a lesson, will behave themselves afterwards; another kind, after being taught a lesson, not only doesn't know how to repent but instead becomes even more vicious and won't cry until they see the coffin. Obviously, this overbearing and bullying lord is one of the latter.

  After a moment of contemplation, Yang Ling came up with a counterattack plan, an absolutely brilliant idea.

  "Thief's Stealth Technique?"

  "That's not possible, in the face of a strong wind, even dust can't be eaten."

  "Magic Mirror Image?"

  "Can that kill people? Can't it? Then what's the point of saying anything, my mirror image has leveled up to advanced and even I couldn't beat myself."

  "Shrimp? You said you have a powerful blast?"

  "Can increase several times power? Can't?"

  "My fatal blow will destroy all things under heaven."

  "You said you have a forbidden curse?"

  "My sword's blade storm is so powerful that even I don't dare use it, it's too devastating"
