Recruitment

On the other side, Eric also thoroughly looted the entire town of Redleaf. In the end, he collected a total of 30,000 gold coins in cash, along with a large number of antiques, artworks, and various property deeds and house deeds for real estate in Steele City.

Unlike Redleaf Town and Maplewood Town, Steele City is one of the sixteen major cities of the Wheatly Empire, with a population of up to 800,000 within the city.

Furthermore, Eric also gathered all the male slaves from Redleaf Town.

Men dressed in tattered rags stood in neat rows, looking at Eric seated in the main position, many of them displaying fear and apprehension in their eyes.

"From this day forward, you will all regain your freedom and will no longer be lowly slaves!" Eric announced loudly.

Upon hearing this, the male slaves exchanged glances, appearing confused and uncertain.

"As long as you do not betray me, wealth, power, and even slave women may be within your reach. Now, let me declare the one and only rule here, which is to obey my orders completely!"

"At the same time, we are now recruiting personnel to serve me. Here are the recruitment notices indicating the positions available and the corresponding salary."

After speaking, Eric had goblins distribute the pre-prepared recruitment forms.

He intended to have some of the male slaves become his followers.

After all, most of his lustful beasts under his command couldn't speak and lacked communication and managerial skills. It would be better to have some humans take on these roles.

However, Eric clearly overestimated these male slaves.

Most of them had been discriminated against and abused since birth, illiterate, timid as mice, and some could hardly even speak fluently.

However, there was still one male slave who surprised Eric.

"Sir, if I work for you, can I really fuck those women?" The speaker was a small, shabby-looking man with a hint of a vagabond aura.

"Yes, if your work satisfies me, I have no problem letting you fuck Lady Wanda, the Baroness of Redleaf Town." Eric nodded, his face showing a hint of amusement.

Baroness Wanda!

When the male slaves heard this name, they were all taken aback.

To be able to fuck the haughty and untouchable Baroness Wanda was something they couldn't even imagine.

"Sir, I'm willing to work for you!" The shabby-looking vagabond's eyes widened, his breathing becoming rapid, and he became even more respectful.

"Good, what's your name?"

"Sir, my name is Wilbur."

"The public breeding farm in Redleaf Town is currently under construction. You will work there, mainly managing the female slaves inside. If they have any physical issues, you should address them promptly and try not to break them during play."

After some consideration, Eric quickly assigned Wilbur his task. "Of course, you can fuck the female slaves inside anytime, anywhere."

"Thank you, sir!"

Although Wilbur wasn't sure what Eric meant by the "public breeding farm," he readily accepted the offer.

At this moment, inside the lord's mansion in the center of Steele City, there were four women sitting in a conference hall.

The woman sitting in the main seat had long golden hair, blue eyes, ample bosom and curvy hips. She exuded a powerful aura, and she was none other than Yvette, the Countess of Steele City.

Yvette's appearance was somewhat similar to that of Ella, the Baroness of Maple Forest Town. Both were nobles from the Vargas family, but Yvette's status was clearly higher than Ella's.

Apart from Yvette, the other three women were the heads of the three major families in Steele City: the Payne family, the Currey family, and the Perry family.

Yvette and these three families jointly ruled over everything in Steele City.

Yvette said slowly, "Not long ago, the Lustful Beasts army suddenly appeared and attacked the Red Leaf Town in the south of Steele City. And the commander of that army was a lowly male slave."

The heads of the three major families exchanged a glance and remained silent. The news of the attack on Red Leaf Town by Eric's Lustful Beasts army quickly reached their ears.

"It is said that the number of that army is nearly 5,000, which is undoubtedly a disaster for a small town like Red Leaf. However, this should not be enough to threaten our Steele City, right?" said Lady Dana, the head of the Payne family.

"Although that's true, we can't let our guard down. What if this army further attacks other towns?" Lady Polly, the head of the Currey family, said.

"Exactly, we can't sit idly by and let the towns under our jurisdiction suffer. Otherwise, who knows how many civilians will fall into the hands of those beasts?" Lady Maria, the head of the Perry family, also nodded in agreement.

Listening to the discussion among the heads of the three major families, Yvette finally made her stance clear:

"I believe we should immediately dispatch troops to Red Leaf Town and eliminate that Lustful Beasts army. Delaying will only bring trouble. We must act quickly." Yvette's gaze was determined, showing her unwavering determination.

Under her command was an elite female cavalry unit of around 1,000 members, with all the riders at least fourth-tier or higher.

If combined with the armed forces of the three major families, they should be able to organize a punitive force of around 5,000 soldiers. In addition, Yvette planned to unite the forces of neighboring towns' armies and mercenary groups.

With this plan in place, dealing with the Lustful Beasts army should be a manageable task.

In the end, the heads of the three major families reached a unanimous decision to dispatch a punitive force to eliminate the monster army!

Three days later, within Steele City, a well-equipped force consisting of approximately 1,000 female cavalry soldiers wearing shiny heavy armor and wielding sturdy long spears, along with a contingent of around 5,000 female infantry soldiers, orderly departed from the city gates, marching towards Red Leaf Town.

Along the way, as this Steele City force passed neighboring towns, additional armed forces joined them, further expanding the size of the punitive force.
