Over the next two years, the strength of Sifang City continued to grow. Following years of military recruitment and training, Princess Jing now commanded a regular army numbering over thirty thousand.
Additionally, Xiangliu had secretly trained a "flying chariot corps" in the mountains. True to their name, these were elite troops specially trained to launch airborne attacks from flying chariots. Fangfeng Yiying deserved immense credit for this unit: after recovering the greater part of her spiritual power, and following Xiaoyao's initial concept, she personally instructed the soldiers in archery. Through layers of rigorous selection and assessment, the candidates she finally handed over to Xiangliu were all individuals of formidable spiritual power and exceptional talent, providing a tremendous boost to her second brother.
Beyond this, Fangfeng Yiying also selected talented members of the God Clan, Demon Clan, and mortal race in New City to form a highly skilled archer corps. They were responsible for laying ambushes throughout Sifang City, ensuring complete coverage of every strategic vantage point and leaving no opportunity for intruders to exploit.
