At this moment, the process devised by Su Yu had also reached its final stage.
The hundreds of cavalry, under Su Yu’s control, descended onto the ground. As the last pieces fell into place, the eyes of these cavalrymen suddenly gleamed with white light.
The people in the Sanctuary gazed at these cavalrymen and the powerful weapons mounted on them.
An inexplicable sense of security arose within their hearts.
"With an administrator like him, the Ghost Tribe is nothing to be feared," Lang Yun thought.
"This terrifying power, perhaps with just a single thought from the administrator, the entire Sanctuary could be leveled," Hu Wen also thought to himself.
Lang Yun and Hu Wen, as the two hunting team leaders who had stayed in the Sanctuary the longest, were first-hand witnesses to Su Yu’s rapid increase in power and the Sanctuary’s development to its current state.
Both had long been convinced by Su Yu’s abilities, but knowing they would face the Ghost Tribe, they couldn’t help but feel some unease. However, upon witnessing Su Yu’s display of technique, they felt no more apprehension.
Su Yu turned back to look at Tie Xin and Feng Tian.
At this moment, both seemed somewhat dazed. Tie Xin seemed overwhelmed, seeing an abundance of mechanical technology from Su Yu, technology his tribe and the Iron Heart Tribe had always longed for.
Feng Tian, on the other hand, was dazed because he saw in Su Yu the feasibility of sheltering the ordinary people of the wilderness.
In addition, with the Sanctuary under Su Yu’s control, they continuously recruited refugees from the wilderness.
In Feng Tian’s view, no matter what Su Yu’s ultimate goal was, at least it aligned with his desire to protect ordinary people.
Immediately, Feng Tian, pulling Huang Ying along, knelt on one knee.
Feng Tian earnestly said to Su Yu, "Administrator, I am willing to lead the combat personnel of Wind City to join Shelter No. 73, and follow your command."
Su Yu nodded; now is the crucial time for the development of the Sanctuary, when manpower is greatly needed.
Feng Tian and Huang Ying’s willingness to bring the entire combat force of Wind City naturally couldn’t be better.
Su Yu instructed the two, "In that case, I welcome the both of you to join our Shelter No. 73."
Then, Su Yu asked Yang Lie, "Uncle Yang, how many more people can our Sanctuary roughly accommodate now?"
Yang Lie pondered for a moment, then replied, "Due to the Water Cultivation Plant System and the series of technologies you’ve improved, the Sanctuary can now accommodate an additional three thousand people. It’s not a lack of food and resources; it’s just that the Sanctuary’s space is too limited."
Su Yu nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.
"Shelter No. 73 was fundamentally just a new sanctuary built on the ruins of an old one from the previous era by the former administrator; the space was never large, and it’s still too small for today’s needs."
"Moreover, with the population increasing, if we accept people from the Iron Heart Tribe and Wind City, the Sanctuary’s population will approach thirty thousand, making such a settlement unsuitably called a ’sanctuary’."
"In that case, let’s carry out a complete reform of the entire Sanctuary."
Su Yu then instructed everyone, "Captain Lang Yun, Captain Hu Wen... the four hunting team captains, pause other actions and first lead your teams to the Iron Heart Tribe to accept their three thousand people."
"Huang Ying, Feng Tian, you two can assist from the side too."
"Clan Leader Tie Xin, please cooperate with the four hunting team captains, pacify the members of the Iron Heart Tribe, and bring them to the Sanctuary."
Su Yu issued his orders one by one.
The five hundred cavalry were not handed over to Lang Yun and the others; instead, they were given temporary usage rights to ten Superior Intelligent Machines as support.
In Su Yu’s view, leading back the Iron Heart Tribe’s three thousand people with the hundreds of combat personnel from the four hunting teams, and these mechanical creations should suffice, even if encountering the Ghost Tribe, they could hold off for a while.
As for these five hundred cavalry, Su Yu had other plans.
"Shelter No. 73 is my foundation. Although the Ghost Tribe hasn’t noticed the Sanctuary yet and it’s quite far from them, one cannot be too careful, keeping five hundred cavalry for defense is better," Su Yu thought, considering the Iron Heart Tribe’s population as more of an embellishment for the Sanctuary, "Moreover, these five hundred cavalry can seize the opportunity to significantly expand the Sanctuary’s borders during this period."
With the orders received, everyone left Su Yu’s place, preparing to head to the Iron Heart Tribe to bring their people.
Afterwards, Su Yu turned to Yang Lie, the only one remaining in the courtyard.
Su Yu looked at Yang Lie and said, "Uncle Yang, you’ve seen the current state of the Sanctuary, further expansion is necessary."
"After receiving the populations of the Iron Heart Tribe and Wind City, the Sanctuary’s influence will increase once more."
"Uncle Yang, I need you to help me manage the entire Sanctuary as I plan to use these newly created five hundred cavalry to upgrade the entire Sanctuary."
"Additionally, as the Sanctuary’s influence expands, we will inevitably come face to face with the Ghost Tribe sooner or later."
Hearing Su Yu’s words, Yang Lie nodded; these days, Yang Lie had been managing the entire Sanctuary, not going out for hunts, and his previously rugged demeanor now appeared a bit more composed.
