Chapter 719 Good news comes frequently
As soon as this order came out, it caused an uproar.
"Why can that woman be with you, but I have to stay behind? This is unfair!" Kahili was the first to raise objections and directed her criticism at Xiaojuer who was acting with Yang Ming.
Not to be outdone, Xiao Juer retorted, "Perhaps I can help even more than you can? After all, this is a crucial battle for Yang Ming to unify Ula'la Island. I can use my connections in the media to help Yang Ming publicize this battle worldwide, so he can become famous overnight and a hero known worldwide!"
"Do you think I don't have the financial resources?" Kahili's face flushed with anger. "My family has enormous funds and resources. I can do better than you in publicity! And I'm also quite capable in combat. Unlike a little model like you who only cares about your looks!"
"A flirtatious little model? Haha, I think some people are just jealous that others are prettier and more charming than her..."
"Say one more thing!"
The two young and beautiful women were on the verge of a fight, almost pulling out their hair. Lillie was frightened by the scene and curled up in the corner, trembling.
However, the biggest troublemaker wasn't them, but Lillie's brother Gladion. He grabbed Yang Ming by the collar and roared, "It's been less than a month and you want to live with my sister? You're going too far!"
Faced with this office that was as "bustling" as a vegetable market, Yang Ming felt overwhelmed. He could only be patient and persuade them one by one.
Yang Ming first found Kahili, the most obedient and easily fooled, and said, "I've seen your contributions. I've been thinking about it these past few days and I feel that these newly occupied cities need a reliable person to manage them. Of the people around me, you're the only one who can handle this job."
Kahili, who was originally still angry, suddenly brightened up: "Really?"
"Of course! Don't forget that you are my biggest financial backer, Miss Kahili. When I pacify Ula'ula Island in the future, I will share power with you."
"Although this rear-line management work is not very visible, it is very important. Moreover, the managers currently in charge of these towns are all sent by the Haonuo Group. Only you, the daughter of the Haonuo Group, can command these people."
"Besides, you've been very busy these past few days and haven't even had a good night's sleep. Just treat it as a chance to rest for a while."
Kahili's anger instantly vanished. She thought to herself, "They say men manage the outside world, while women manage the inside. Although I can't work with Yang Ming on this mission to manage the rear, it proves that he trusts me. Hehe, I must manage these towns well and let Yang Ming know that there are beautiful women everywhere, and I'm the only one who can help him achieve his career."
"And he's even starting to care about my rest, which means he still has me in his heart. Well, when he comes back victorious, I'm going to give him a surprise!"
The poor young lady was so delighted by Yang Ming's PUA words that she obediently went to take over the rear management work.
After dealing with Kahili, Xiaojuer finally calmed down. She actually supported Yang Ming's plan, but she only argued deliberately to avoid losing face in front of Kahili. However, Yang Ming emphasized that he didn't want his Northern Expedition to be known to the entire world, so he forgot to publicize it.
Of course, the reason why the two were deliberately separated was because they would quarrel almost as soon as they met. Yang Ming could only deliberately send one of them away and keep the other by his side.
After dealing with the two relatively easy-going women, Yang Ming turned his attention to the biggest troublemaker, Gladion.
"Look at you! How can you still be considered a brother like this?" Yang Ming pointed at Lillie, who was cowering in the corner, and said righteously, "Look! You've scared your sister to tears!"
"Huh? After all this time, it turns out to be my fault?" Gladion was suddenly speechless.
"Right now, Ula'ula Island is in chaos and it's unsafe everywhere. I brought your sister with me for her safety. Do you really want to put her in danger?"
"Uh...are you really keeping her with you for her safety?" Gladion asked doubtfully.
"Of course! Miss Juer from the United States will be with me too. If I really did something inappropriate to your sister, how could she not know? I can swear in the name of all my brothers that I will never touch anyone of the opposite sex during this period of time!"
Seeing Yang Ming's solemn promise, Gladion suddenly felt guilty and thought that he was judging others by his own standards.
Hehe, this young man was finally fooled. Yang Ming was secretly happy.
The so-called "for Lillie's safety" was simply an excuse Yang Ming used to cover up his tracks, because the rear area managed by Kahili was safe enough. If Yang Ming really thought so, he would not have kept her by his side.
The real purpose of keeping Lillie here is to control Gladion's actions and prevent him from slacking off on the front line. Since Gladion had just joined, Yang Ming didn't really trust him. Considering the fact that he was a sister-con, Yang Ming decided to make good use of Lillie and make Gladion his number one subordinate.
Poor Gladion didn't know that he was about to become the biggest cow and horse under Yang Ming, and he was still feeling ashamed of himself for misunderstanding Yang Ming, a "gentleman".
Even the biggest troublemaker Gladion was dealt with, so naturally the others had no objections. Yang Ming's earliest subordinate, Tokugawa, was the most excited and was the first to lead his troops north.
Soon, Yang Ming received the good news from Tokugawa.
"The army arrived at Route 17. On July 7th, we wiped out the bandit 'Drunken Scorpion' and killed him himself. On July 15th, we defeated the rebel 'Shi Hu' and annihilated his ragtag group. That afternoon, we wiped out the forces of 'Mighty Whale King', barely escaping with his life. On July 7th, the Mighty Whale King surrendered himself, and I incorporated his remaining forces. The spoils I've captured these days are so numerous that I've lost count..."
The reports from the other people were similar. Among them, Gladion, the top-ranked cowherd, had the greatest gains. He actually captured the headquarters "Soul Town" abandoned by the Skeleton Team.
Ever since Guzma led the Skeleton Team to evacuate, David Dai Liangzi had seized the opportunity to occupy Po Town and stationed 5000 men there as a crucial bastion against Yang Ming. Among these men, besides a large number of ragtag groups, many were Liangzi's elite "Ogre Army."
The so-called "Ogre" army refers to a group of people who, in order to maintain the tranquility of the city of Malie, would openly roast captured rebels over a large fire and eat human flesh in public. Because this group of people was very cruel, the residents of Ula'ula Island hated and feared them, and gave them the name "Ogre Army".
However, since Gladion had been a cadre of the Skull Corps and was extremely familiar with the environment of the entire Po Town, he only brought 100 people to attack from the water. Using the silent ability of the Magikarp submarine underwater, he easily sneaked into the interior of Po Town, and cooperated with the 900 people arranged outside Po Town to easily defeat the 5000-strong mob.
