Behind the hill lay a small river—a natural water source that could save a considerable amount of daily expenses.
Though this was the rear, Liu Er was meticulous, still arranging three arrays.
One was the Heavenly Light Reflection Array, placed at the outermost perimeter for reconnaissance, monitoring the surroundings.
The second was the Iron Wall Copper Wall Array, which once activated, could raise iron walls and copper ramparts in a very short time, greatly enhancing the defensive capabilities of the entire wooden camp.
The third was the Seven-Star Chain Formation, linking all the cultivators within the camp. On one hand, it was convenient for communication. On the other, it could be used in conjunction with various enhancement spells to evenly distribute the might of the spells among all the personnel in the camp.
After setting up the Triple Magic Array, the next step was to construct the campsite.
The campsite was roughly circular, with the Three Generals' tents at the very center. Surrounding them were the guards' campsites, which were currently empty. Whether it was Liu Er, Guan Hong, or Zhang Hei, all had come to join the military alone.
Beyond the guards' campsites were the tents of ordinary soldiers. Usually, these would be divided by troops' types. Currently, these too were empty.
After setting up the campsite, the next task was to erect wooden fences, anti-horse barricades, and other obstacles.
According to Liu Er's plan, he still wanted to dig a trench. But to do that himself would be rather embarrassing. Since they were at the rear and it was relatively safe, the task of digging the trench was postponed. They would wait for more soldiers to arrive and then use them for the digging.
When the camp was halfway established, Zhang Hei and Ning Zhuo began exerting themselves, posting notices throughout Canglin Immortal City, promoting and recruiting vigorously.
The response was enthusiastic.
"Have you heard? The conditions for joining the Three Generals Camp are that all spoils of war belong to the cultivator personally."
"Yes! This way, as we attack the Thousand Peak Forest, amassing loot all the way, the profits are unimaginable."
"Even the Barbarian Demon Camp doesn't have such good terms!"
"But all three commanders are only at the Golden Core Level, not the Nascent Soul Level..."
"How about comparing them with the Red Flower Camp?"
"Hmm? When you think about it, the Three Generals Camp really is a good choice!"
A large number of cultivators flooded into the Three Generals Camp.
The campsite, which had been empty, started to fill with people.
Several days later, much of the camp was occupied.
Seeing the time was ripe, Liu Er summoned all personnel to officially determine the various ranks and positions.
He proclaimed himself the Great General, Guan Hong the second General, Zhang Hei the third General, as for Ning Zhuo... he became the Military Adviser.
Liu Guan Zhang, that was fine; after all, they were at the Golden Core Level.
But Ning Zhuo was only at the Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level. How could he become the Military Adviser? Such a position, ostensibly second only to the three generals, actually had the power to rival both the second and the third generals.
Some were dissatisfied.
On the spot, many raised a clamor, questioning the appointment.
Liu Er's face darkened, just about to speak.
Ning Zhuo, smiling, stood up.
Wood Element—Tree Realm Descent!
Crack...
Within a few breaths, towering trees grew, their vines and branches, like dragons and pythons, invaded the entire Command Platform.
Numerous cultivators were knocked down.
Wood Element—Life-Stealing Flower blooms.
The next moment, countless buds sprouted on the vines and roots.
These buds swelled with the wind in one breath, and blossomed in the second.
The petals were extremely sharp, like numerous blades, fluttering in the air.
Any that grazed a cultivator cut open bloody lines.
A great number of cultivators scrambled for cover, some raising defenses—quite a chaotic scene.
Ning Zhuo, with an expressionless face, stood on the Command Platform, hands behind his back, "Now, does anyone oppose?"
He spoke softly, his voice clear through the spellwork, resonating throughout the area, echoing in everyone's ears.
For a moment, the chaotic noise quieted down.
Liu Guan Zhang each changed their expressions, sizing up Ning Zhuo.
Liu Er gradually revealed a smile.
Guan Hong stroked his beard, his movements becoming gentler.
Zhang Hei tilted back his head and burst into laughter.
In the forest, many Foundation Establishment Cultivators demonstrated their methods, some hiding within tree trunks or standing on branches, looking back at Ning Zhuo with wary faces—and no further objections.
Ning Zhuo.
The Three Generals Camp, Military Adviser!
