"Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious!"
Tu Lang nodded and replied, "Boss, you are right, we will train hard!"
Tu Lang was now convinced, and his subordinates naturally had to be obedient.
Meanwhile, Liu Kai Xuan took this opportunity to say a few words to Qing Snake.
"Instructor Qing Snake, you don't need to be polite with these brothers anymore!"
"If they aren't training well in any area, just step in and correct them. We must improve their quality rapidly no matter what!"
Qing Snake curled his lips and said, "Boss, it's not that I want to defy your orders, it's just that these guys are too pathetic!"
"If you have any missions, just give them to me to execute. Why must you insist on cultivating this bunch of trash?"
Liu Kai Xuan glanced at Tu Lang and called out, "Tu Lang, Fei Gou, are you both mute?"
"Qing Snake is calling you trash, can't you hear?"
"I..."
Tu Lang replied with an awkward laugh, "Instructor Qing Snake is indeed right, we are indeed trash!"
What a joke, how could Tu Lang and his men dare to be presumptuous in front of Qing Snake?
These guys had already been thoroughly subdued by Qing Snake.
To dare to fight Qing Snake would be simply asking for death.
However, Qing Snake was too lazy to discipline or restrain Tu Lang and his gang.
Qing Snake's daily training with Tu Lang and the others was essentially going through the motions.
"I'll teach you some combat techniques. Whether you learn them or not is up to you."
Even if Tu Lang and the others were lax and didn't train properly, Qing Snake remained indifferent to them.
There was no other way. Qing Snake's mind was like a robot's.
In a robot's world, the distinction between friend and foe is very strict.
Now that Tu Lang and his group had pledged allegiance to Liu Kai Xuan, in Qing Snake's eyes, they were all his own people.
Since they were all his own people, Qing Snake naturally wouldn't attack them.
It was precisely because of this that Liu Kai Xuan had come to remind Qing Snake today not to be polite with these troublemakers.
...
In the following period, Qing Snake subjected Tu Lang's group to exceptionally brutal, hellish training!
Although Qing Snake's training methods were very harsh, they at least wouldn't cost Tu Lang and the others their lives.
At the same time, under Qing Snake's strict training.
The strength of Tu Lang and his group improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Meanwhile, the war between Kaia Dun and the noble forces was also raging fiercely.
In the beginning, Kaia Dun's offensive was very strong, capturing cities and forts with unstoppable momentum!
The noble forces suffered extremely heavy losses under Kaia Dun's fierce onslaught.
But let's not forget, the combined strength of the noble forces' alliance was far superior to that of the imperial army.
Moreover, this time, Kaia Dun's posture clearly indicated his intention to annihilate them completely.
In such a war, they had no room to retreat. If they surrendered, they would immediately be swallowed by Kaia Dun.
This made the resistance of the noble forces even more ferocious.
Several large-scale military engagements took place between the two sides, with each suffering considerable losses.
It was precisely because of the heavy losses that the imperial army was now unable to launch a full-scale offensive.
The two sides faced each other across trenches, and the battle situation completely entered a stalemate.
The longer the war dragged on, the more unfavorable it was for Kaia Dun.
To end the war quickly, Kaia Dun took the initiative to approach Liu Kai Xuan, seeking his support.
Moreover, this time, Kaia Dun himself came knocking to ask for help.
Kaia Dun stated that if Liu Kai Xuan was willing to help deal with that group of traitors, he would be willing to share more of the profits with Liu Kai Xuan when the time came for dividing the spoils.
Originally, Liu Kai Xuan didn't want to interfere in this matter, but now that Kaia Dun himself had come to him,
If Liu Kai Xuan maintained an aloof attitude, it would indeed be inappropriate.
After careful consideration, Liu Kai Xuan offered Kaia Dun a suggestion.
The dispute between the imperial army and the noble forces was, in the final analysis, a struggle for interests.
The conflict was raging due to problems in the division of interests.
Liu Kai Xuan believed that Kaia Dun's method of dividing interests was too extreme.
By directly seizing all the resources from the noble forces, it was equivalent to cutting off their means of survival, so they naturally had to fight desperately.
The solution to the problem was not particularly complicated.
Leave a way out for these noble lords.
Change the method of plunder to "cooperation," and everything would become reasonable.
Originally, Kaia Dun's proposed cooperation method was: to seize all the oil field resources held by the noble forces!
Then, the extracted resources would be divided equally into two parts, one for him and one for Liu Kai Xuan.
Now, Kaia Dun could make a slight concession and divide the oil field resources into three parts!
Kaia Dun would take one part, Liu Kai Xuan would take one part, and one part would be left for the noble lords!
This way, it would not completely cut off the noble lords' means of survival.
By leaving them a glimmer of hope, their rebellious sentiments would weaken considerably.
If their resistance became less intense, cracks would appear within their ranks.
At that time, they could simply deal with the thorns in the side who refused to "cooperate."
What harm was there in giving a little to the noble forces willing to cooperate?
Kaia Dun, however, had some doubts about the approach Liu Kai Xuan proposed.
"Earl Kai Xuan, have you considered a problem?"
"Those noble lords are not fools, and there are capable individuals among them!"
"With capable individuals, they will surely see that we are using this method to divide them!"
"I think they are highly unlikely to cooperate with us. The best course of action is still for us to join forces and exterminate them!"
Liu Kai Xuan shook his head and chuckled, "Your Majesty, you worry too much!"
"Although the combined noble forces currently hold an advantage!"
"But their advantage is only a slight one, not an overwhelming one!"
"The imperial army still has the capacity to maintain a standoff with them!"
"Your Majesty feels that such a prolonged standoff is not to your advantage!"
"But in reality, a prolonged standoff is even more disadvantageous for the combined noble forces."
"They are numerous, their logistical support is extremely difficult, and the coordination between the allied forces will also be very challenging!"
"And one last point: if Your Majesty's front line is truly in trouble, I will help you!"
"After all, we are now a community of interest, aren't we?"
Kaia Dun immediately let out a sigh of relief, "Good, then I am at ease!"
