Mo Fan spoke, his gaze sweeping over the demons, settling on Leopard Head and Big Horn, and he said solemnly, “Effective immediately, I appoint the ox demon Big Horn as the leader of the patrol team, overseeing all patrol matters!
Effective immediately, I appoint the leopard demon Leopard Head as the leader of the hunting camp, overseeing all hunting matters!
Effective immediately, I appoint the deer demon Old Chai as the leader of the kitchen camp, managing all kitchen affairs!
Effective immediately, I order all lesser demons of the monkey clan to join the combat camp, under the command of the combat camp leader Dali!
Effective immediately, the peach grove two hundred miles east is designated as a branch of Black Wind Mountain, to be used for combat camp training!
Effective immediately, the territory of Black Wind Mountain extends two hundred miles further east, and the flight team shall take on patrol duties within this area!”
In an instant, these decrees caused an uproar among the demons.
With these appointments, the major power structures of Black Wind Mountain were fully divided among the demon soldiers. Even the lowly kitchen camp now had a leader, Old Chai, who had only recently broken through to the demon soldier realm.
What shocked the demons most was that the king had expanded Black Wind Mountain’s territory two hundred miles eastward, a truly astonishing move!
Compared to the other two nearby demon mountains, none seemed to have such vast territory.
This, however, meant extra work for the flight team’s demon cultivators. Previously, they only patrolled a hundred miles, but now they had to cover nearly three hundred!
For Zhazha, however, this was cause for delight, as it meant his authority in Black Wind Mountain had grown. At least this three-hundred-mile area was now under his jurisdiction, and who passing through wouldn’t have to offer something?
Even the treasure-hunting camp, if they wanted to search within his three-hundred-mile domain, would have to contribute!
Mo Fan wasn’t unaware of these little schemes but was too lazy to expose them.
Rules were rigid, but demons were flexible. As long as they didn’t disrupt his plans, he didn’t bother micromanaging.
Conversely, anyone who dared to mess with his plans would face severe consequences!
Of course, in this round of appointments, the one who gained the most power was undoubtedly Dali.
When he learned that over four hundred lesser monkey demons were still stationed in the peach grove, even the usually composed Dali couldn’t help but grin ear to ear.
The other demon soldiers looked on with envy, congratulating Dali.
“Great King, what about me?”
“Our enforcement team is also severely short of demons!”
Red Eye, who had narrowly escaped being skinned by Mo Fan, shamelessly spoke up, fearing he’d miss out on benefits.
White Elephant quickly followed, standing firmly behind Red Eye in support…
Pig Sir, Little Yellow, Erha, Leopard Head, and other influential demon soldiers also crowded around, looking at Mo Fan eagerly.
“You dog, you still have the nerve to ask for demons?!”
Mo Fan, furious at the sight of Red Eye, kicked out, but Red Eye dodged. Cursing a couple of times, Mo Fan snorted, “For White Elephant’s sake, I’ll let your enforcement team pick first this time!”
With that, Mo Fan stepped aside, revealing the demon soldiers behind him.
The monkey clan had a fair number of demon soldiers, though not many, just over forty.
“You’ve heard it. Joining Black Wind Mountain means following its rules, so now is the moment to decide your fate!”
Mo Fan looked at the monkey demon soldiers, smiling, “Black Wind Mountain has many camps, all with plenty of vacant positions. With your cultivation and strength, you’ll hold significant roles in these camps, so there’s no need to worry.”
“I’ll ask one last time, are you truly willing to join Black Wind Mountain?”
“If not, just say so. Otherwise, once you join, you must abide by Black Wind Mountain’s rules!”
“Oh, and if you don’t wish to join, you’re free to leave. I’ll have the enforcement team’s leader, White Elephant, escort you to avoid getting lost.”
Mo Fan’s words initially touched the demon soldiers, sparking some thoughts. But his final remark sent a collective shiver through them, and they shook their heads vigorously.
No way! Though they were new, they’d already heard about Black Wind Mountain’s events and knew exactly what kind of demon White Elephant was.
He was a stickler for rules, with an iron-fisted approach, and he didn’t hold back!
Previously, Black Wind Mountain’s own demons who tried to escape were caught by him and turned into a feast. If they refused to join now, they’d likely not even reach the mountain’s base before being knocked out and carried straight to the kitchen camp…
With White Elephant around, who would dare leave?
“Excellent, it seems everyone is thrilled and eager to join Black Wind Mountain. I’m very pleased!”
Mo Fan grinned at the monkey demons’ reactions, nodding with satisfaction, thinking, “White Elephant keeps a low profile, but his deterrence is impressive. I should drop some hints to encourage him further!”
Mo Fan wasn’t surprised by White Elephant’s opposition to Red Eye. From the start, pairing them in the same camp was deliberate, meant to balance Red Eye.
He trusted Red Eye completely, with no fear of betrayal.
But Red Eye had a fatal flaw: he was too loyal to his comrades, as evidenced by this incident.
Loyalty was good, but as the enforcement team leader, this trait could be a critical weakness.
The enforcement team needed to be fair and just. Failure to do so could cause significant harm.
As an outsider with greater cultivation and strength than Red Eye, White Elephant was placed as deputy leader, naturally causing dissatisfaction. This led him to target Red Eye, serving as a form of indirect supervision.
If Red Eye was constantly challenged by his deputy, his temper would flare, and over time, he’d keep a close eye on White Elephant.
This way, the enforcement team could truly be perfected!
Mo Fan didn’t worry about them cultivating their own loyalists, as they’d still be Black Wind Mountain’s demons!
All he wanted was balance!
“Since the Great King has spoken, I won’t hold back!”
Red Eye chuckled, looking smug.
He wasn’t foolish and could see the king’s favouritism, which was why he dared to stir up trouble repeatedly.
No matter how formidable that toad was, he was still Laibao.
And Laibao was Red Eye’s old brother!
Thus, under Mo Fan’s oversight, the camps divided the forty-plus monkey demon soldiers among themselves.
Afterwards, Mo Fan led the camp leaders back to Spring Pool Cave for a high-level meeting.
At the meeting, he learned that the camps still lacked many demons.
To address this, Mo Fan had Dali allocate another hundred lesser demons from the combat camp to the other camps.
Even so, the combat camp still had over three hundred demons!
Black Wind Mountain now far surpassed Zhu Xianfeng’s era in both quantity and quality.
The only thing lacking was a Demon King realm demon.
Mo Fan wasn’t in a rush, as his current strength already allowed him to contend with a Demon King!
As for the black monkey demon general who had bet with Mo Fan, upon learning of the peach grove’s changes, he honoured the bet and willingly joined Mo Fan.
As a reward, Mo Fan gave him a “Loyalty Pill” and included him in the General Hall.
Thus, Black Wind Mountain now had ten demon generals!
After fully arranging Black Wind Mountain’s affairs, Mo Fan took out a golden pill in his cave, his eyes gleaming with excitement!
