He opened the barracks panel.

The data was as follows.
Building: Level 1 Barracks
Ability: Training Class 1 Soldiers (10 people per team)
Blueprint: Class 1 Ranger x1 (Ranger Recruitment Order included in barracks. Requirements: Ordinary Ranger Soldier. Class 1 Archery Skill Training Time: 1 hour)
Class 1 Light-Armored Shield Soldier x100 (Requirement: Level 1 Barracks, Level 1 Attributeless Warrior. Class 1 Light-Armored Shield Soldier Training Time: 1 hour)
Class 3 Wolf Cavalry Warrior x1 (Requirement: Level 3 Barracks, Level 3 Attributeless Warrior, 100 Zombie Souls. Class 3 Wolf Cavalry Warrior Training Time: 5 hours)
Level Up Requirement: Stacking (Combine 10 for 1 Level), Level 2 Barracks Blueprint or Level 2 Building Upgrade Scroll
After reading the message, Lin Ye groaned.
“In other words, I can only train rangers and light-armored shield soldiers for now. Although Class 3 Wolf Cavalry Warriors are strong, without equipment and recruitment orders for a level 3 attributeless soldier, they are just decorations.”
He glanced at the maximum population he could have in the bunker.
With the addition of the hundred blacksmiths and the Class 3 elemental ranger, Adelia, the current population was at [598/1000].
There were 402 remaining population spaces.
“Light-armored shield soldiers are for close range combat. I will need them as meat shields in the early stages. Let’s recruit 300 of them first. The rangers’ long-range attacks are not bad, so I’ll recruit 102 of them. Led by Adelia, they should be enough to kill a Level 4 or even Level 5 Zombie.”
Thinking of that, Lin Ye made a prompt decision and submitted his orders to the bunker and the barracks.
Soon, a notification came from the system.
[Survivor Lin Ye, according to the rules of the World and Human Agreement, recruiting 300 Class 1 attributeless soldiers requires a one-time payment of 3,000 Zombie Souls!]
[Survivor Lin Ye, according to the rules of the World and Human Agreement, recruiting 102 Rangers requires a one-time payment of 1,020 Zombie Souls!]
[A total of 4,020 Zombie Souls is required. Please confirm your request!]
“Confirmed!”
Lin Ye nodded.
Previously, he only had 1,900 Zombie Souls left. Adding the souls he obtained from killing the zombies yesterday afternoon, he gained another 4,900 souls.
In total, the 6,800 souls was enough for him to spend freely in the early stages.
Two teleportation portals appeared.
This time, it was different from the last time. Perhaps because of the large number of people recruited, two elders actually appeared from each portal.
“Oh great human lord, your generosity has won the respect of my ranger race. Our first cooperation was pleasant. I look forward to meeting you again!”
“Oh great human lord, my warrior tribe is willing to serve you. Please call for us again during your next recruitment.”
They looked at Lin Ye with gentle eyes and smiled.
With that, both of them eagerly collected a large amount of Zombie Souls from the Archive’s resource page. They were smiling so hard that their mouths were about to split open.
Whoosh—
Light and shadows rippled like water as the teleportation arrays flashed continuously.
A few minutes later, 300 Class 1 attributeless soldiers and 102 Class 1 rangers appeared in his territory.

All of them looked at their surroundings curiously, especially at Lin Ye.
According to the records of the various races, at this stage, humans should not be capable of recruiting soldiers on a large scale.
In other words, the humans at this time were all poor. They could not afford to recruit soldiers.
However, their lord seemed to be extremely wealthy. He had recruited hundreds of attributeless soldiers at the end of his first day.
Four thousand plus zombie souls was not a small figure.
He had to kill at least 4,000 Level 1 zombies or 400 Level 2 zombies, or even 40 Level 3 zombies.

Just the thought of it was incredible.
Even if that was the case, they were all trained warriors who had a stable foundation.
Under the sunlight, they stood tall and straight. No matter how curious they were, they did not whisper.
Lin Ye nodded in approval and pointed at the soldiers in the front row. “Everyone, form a team of ten people. A hundred of you will enter the barracks for training first!”
“Yes, my lord!” The soldiers answered together, their voices loud and clear like the ringing of a bell.
A moment later, the 100 rangers entered the barracks first.
The other 300 Class 1 attributeless soldiers were left lining up outside in a long line as they stared gapingly at the entrance.
“…”
Lin Ye revealed a bitter smile. “I originally thought that it would be enough. Man proposes but God disposes. With this, everything is not enough.”
In addition to the cat-eared chefs and blacksmiths, an additional 600 people were added out of nowhere. The number of fisheries, tents, and barracks needed to be increased.
Fortunately, he had abundant resources and many native workers. He went to Worker One directly.
The fisheries needed 80 native workers to tend to them, so he made some of them go there early in the morning to fish at the river.
The remaining 317 were enough for construction.
“My lord, what can I do for you?” Worker One asked respectfully.
He was extremely satisfied with his lord. As long as his lord continued with this, he was even willing to offer his 100% loyalty to him.
“It’s like this. You’ll lead the remaining native workers to build 100 tents, 100 fisheries and 50 barracks on the northeastern side. The barracks will take precedence. Do you have enough wood and stone from the previous time? If you don’t, you can come and collect them yourself,” Lin Ye said directly.
“It’s enough. Rest assured, my lord. The construction will be completed before lunch.” Worker One was very confident.
Because of their cooperation from yesterday, the loyalty of the other native workers had increased significantly, and the construction speed had improved greatly too.
Right now, the entire graveyard was bustling with activity. It was time for them to start getting to work.
With that said, he happily led the three hundred people to expand into the wasteland.
“My lord, you haven’t had your breakfast yet, right? This is the love-filled breakfast I made for you.”
At that moment, the cat-eared chef, Nicole, walked over with a set of egg toast and milk.
“Nicole is still the best for knowing to care for me.”
Lin Ye smiled and accepted the plate.
The cat-eared chefs cooked quickly. Breakfast was already long prepared.
The others had already eaten while he was organizing the matters, but he had been so busy that he had forgotten about it.
Fortunately, Nicole was meticulous. After he settled the barracks and native workers, she brought his breakfast over.
“Of course, Nicole is her lord’s personal chef!”
Nicole raised her chin and a proud expression appeared on her pretty face.
The title of personal chef, was a title she gave herself.
Although she was only a beginner chef now, her status was noble and it was only a matter of time before she advanced in levels.
It was precisely because of this that she was so confident.
“My lord, please taste it. I specially made it according to how they cook it in your world. The eggs are cooked like hot spring eggs, formed and do not split. Paired with the unique sauce from my race and toasted bread. I hope it suits your taste.”

Nicole clasped her hands behind her back and looked expectantly at Lin Ye.
“Mm, I’m sure that it will be delicious.”
Lin Ye smiled and opened his mouth to take a bite. He chewed slightly and his eyes lit up.
This was too delicious!
The toast was fragrant, crisp yet soft inside. The sauce of the cat-eared race was light and elegant, complemented by the delicate and sweet hot spring eggs…
The texture was like fine bread threads running in his mouth. It was so delicious!
