Survival in the Mist: From a Dilapidated Wooden Hut to a Heavenly Palace in the Clouds

Chapter 243 Mass Recruitment

Mo Ming brought Liya and Man Meng to the barracks, his eyes gleaming with a burning light. He had made up his mind to use up all the remaining Ghostly Blue Gold at once.

The reason why such a large-scale recruitment is possible is due to the fact that after the shelter is upgraded to level 5, the recruitment mechanism of the barracks has changed drastically—the cooldown time has been completely eliminated.

In other words, as long as there are enough materials, recruitment can continue continuously. This convenience has made the barracks the most crucial facility for expanding the sanctuary's combat power, and the reserves of Azure Gold are the key to everything.

Mo Ming stood in front of the recruitment panel, his finger gently sliding as he filled the material slots with the Radiant Blue Gold bit by bit.

Liya stood behind him, her eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation, while Manmeng crossed his arms and wore a calm expression, but his eyes were constantly observing Mo Ming's movements.

“We still have 2452 units of Radiant Blue Gold left…” Mo Ming said in a low voice, his voice filled with excitement and decisiveness. “If we use them all for recruitment, we can summon 49 soldiers.”

"49?" Leah repeated softly, a hint of surprise in her voice. "So many?"

“Yes, 50 per person.” Mo Ming nodded, his gaze firm.

Without hesitation, he manipulated the control panel and put 2450 units of Radiant Blue Gold into the recruitment process.

With the injection of resources, the recruitment process officially began. Due to space limitations, the recruitment station can only summon a maximum of five people at a time, and the entire process takes approximately ten minutes.

"As expected, it still takes time."

Mo Ming watched as the light on the platform gradually dimmed, knowing that the next batch of soldiers would have to wait about ten minutes.

He turned to Liya and Manmon and said, "This recruitment will summon a total of 49 people. According to the limitations of the recruitment platform, the process will last for nearly two hours."

I can't stay here indefinitely, so I need your help.

Lia nodded, her eyes serious: "You make the arrangements, I'll listen to you."

Man Meng grinned and patted his chest: "No problem!"

Mo Ming nodded in satisfaction, then began assigning tasks: "Man Meng, you're in charge of maintaining order. Every time five people appear, you need to make sure they stand in their designated positions, remain quiet, and avoid chaos."

Lia, you are in charge of registering their information, mainly four aspects: name, age, rank, which prison they come from, and what they are good at.

After registration, lead them to the courtyard to gather. Further arrangements will be made once everyone has arrived.

Liya and Manmon nodded in agreement.

"I'm going to build some houses for people to live in."

Mo Ming continued, "Once everyone has gathered, I will return to assign them specific tasks. Remember to be careful when registering them, especially their areas of expertise, as this will determine their future roles."

"Understood!" Lia took out paper and pen, preparing to take notes.

With Mo Ming's explanation complete, the recruitment of the first batch of followers was finished.

Five new followers emerged from the light and stood in neat rows before the recruitment platform, awaiting further instructions.

Manmeng stepped forward and directed them to stand on the open ground to the side. His voice was loud and clear, “Stand still and wait to register. Don’t make a scene.”

Lia then asked each of them for information: "Name? Age? Rank? Which prison did you come from? What are you good at?" Her tone was gentle but not without authority.

He would quickly take notes as he asked each question.

“Karl, 26 years old, Deep Blue level, from Tuhe Prison, skilled in reconnaissance, formerly a military scout.”

“Ralph, 31 years old, Deep Blue level, from Tuhe Prison, skilled in close combat, I used to be a member of the guard team.”

"Eileen, 24 years old, Crimson Purple level, from Eagle River Prison, skilled in archery."

"Sora, 31 years old, Deep Blue level, from Tuhe Prison, specializes in healing, herb gathering, and medicine making. I am a medical worker."

"Mo Sen, 29 years old, Crimson Purple level, from Fox Camp, specializes in..."

"Hmm? Fox Camp?" Someone from the same prison as me? That name sounds familiar. Lia looked up and sized up the man in front of her.

The moment their eyes met, Liya suddenly realized, while Mosen was dumbfounded.

Lia remembered that this Mosen was also a warmonger. When she instigated the riot, this guy seemed to have taken advantage of the chaos to kill the warden of the Foxna camp.

It seems he set the fire too...

Mo Sen was stunned; he never imagined that he would be recruited by this terrifying woman.

"You...you are...Empress Leah?"

"I am Lia, what the hell is this Empress?"

Once he calmed down, Mo Sen's eyes were filled with excitement as he said excitedly, "Lady Liya, you don't know, you instigated the prison riot, which allowed us all to escape."

Everyone is very grateful to you, and out of respect, they gave you the nickname "Empress," or "Empress Fox."

"..."

The other recruits were all dumbfounded. They had heard of Fox Camp in their respective prisons; it was rumored to be an extremely strict prison.

Where did the riots break out?

Who is this woman?

"Your Majesty, did you recruit us? Will we follow you from now on?"

Mo Sen became more and more excited as he spoke, just like a fan meeting their idol and being invited to take a photo with them.

"No, it was my leader who recruited you. I'll take you to see him later."

"oh oh!"

......

"Empress, hahaha?" Mo Ming chuckled softly as he left the barracks and returned to the Bronze Hall.

He needed to quickly build enough houses to provide accommodation for these newly recruited followers. After the shelter was upgraded to level five, Mo Ming also divided the territory into zones.

The houses where everyone lived were moved to the residential area, where a new batch of houses were located.

Time passed second by second, and the recruitment process in the barracks continued to repeat itself.

Every ten minutes, five new followers would appear from the recruitment platform. Lia and Manmon were busy, but they worked together seamlessly and maintained an efficient pace.

Manmon was in charge of maintaining order, ensuring that the soldiers registered in sequence, while Liya asked questions and took notes to ensure that no important information was missed.

More than two hours had passed by the time the last batch of followers was recruited.

In the courtyard, 49 people of varying heights, builds, and genders, stood in neat rows, awaiting further instructions from the leader, as Liya had mentioned.

Meanwhile, Mo Ming had finished building the houses and was about to walk out of the main hall when he ran into Liya, who had come to report the situation. He had a satisfied smile on his face.

"Chief, the person has been brought into the courtyard, and Manmeng is maintaining order there."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Mo Ming laughed and said to Liya, "Let's go, let me see the quality of this group of followers, see if any can compare to our... Empress's, hahaha..."

"leader...."

Lia lowered her head, a blush creeping onto her face.
