I Have A Mountain Stronghold.

Summary

After a significant battle, the aftermath involved cleaning up the battlefield, where the enemy suffered heavy losses, leaving behind many corpses and weapons. Cheng Dalei, who had summoned over a thousand men, saw only half survive, leading him to prefer viewing them as mere data to avoid emotional attachments. As they began to regroup, concerns arose about potential future attacks from Mo Ming Mi. Despite their victory, Cheng Dalei's reputation grew, making him a formidable figure in the region. Meanwhile, Mo Ming Mi, feeling threatened by Cheng Dalei's emergence, contemplated strategies to deal with him, including infiltration for intelligence. Cheng Dalei initiated military training for his men, organizing them into squads and teams, while also establishing military laws to instill discipline.

Cheng Dalei felt relieved at the progress but was soon faced with a pressing issue: the village was out of food.
