Oliver Sheng and his men returned with over three thousand wolf demon carcasses, shocking the entire River West County.

Countless common people came to witness the wolf demon bodies.

"Mom, why are those big black dogs so huge?" a little boy asked innocently.

"Silly child, those are wolves, big black wolves, they're wolf demons," the boy's mother replied.

"What are demons?"

"Demons are... you'll understand when you grow up. Demons eat children."

"Ah? Mom, I'm scared!"

"That wolf demon looks even bigger than an elephant."

"Did General Sheng and his men kill all these wolf demons? That's amazing."

Oliver and his soldiers carried the wolf demon carcasses into the barracks.

The bodies of the wolf demons were filled with demonic qi. Ordinary people couldn't stay in contact with them for long; it would disturb their minds, causing severe illness at best and life-threatening danger at worst.

Seeing Oliver and his men bring back so many wolf demon carcasses, Cameron Guo, Wesley Hu, Xiao Chuyi, Felix Wu, and others were all stunned.

"General, why did you bring back so many wolf demon bodies?" Cameron couldn't help but ask.

"To eat them!" Oliver replied.

"Eat? Demon beast meat?!"

Cameron, Wesley, and Felix were all shocked and puzzled. Could demon beast meat really be eaten?

They were all ordinary people who had joined the army, slowly cultivating and fighting to achieve their current status.

However, Xiao Chuyi looked at Oliver with surprise. Few people knew that demon beast meat could be eaten, and the method to remove the demonic qi and evil energy from the meat was not widely known. She didn't expect Oliver to know it.

Then she saw Jiang Yibai, a disciple of the Sword Dao Sect from Shu Prefecture, standing in the crowd with a sword in his arms, and she understood a bit more.

It seemed that the method to remove the demonic qi from the demon beast meat was taught to Oliver by this Sword Dao Sect disciple.

"Hehe, Brother Guo, Brother Hu, this demon beast meat is incredibly delicious and can boost your cultivation. After eating it, I broke through to the Martial Master realm," Zane Wang said with a laugh.

Everyone looked and saw that Zane had indeed broken through to the Martial Master realm.

Only then did they realize that the soldiers behind Oliver had all improved their cultivation, with the lowest being at the mid-stage Martial Disciple level, which astonished everyone.

A thousand-man army composed of mid-stage Martial Disciples or higher had significantly increased combat power.

"This... this..."

Cameron and Wesley were full of shock.

"Tonight, we'll stew demon beast meat. You'll understand the benefits after you eat it," Oliver said with a smile.

"General Sheng, General Sheng, you're back?" Magistrate Chen hurried over.

Upon arriving at the barracks, he saw the mountain of wolf demon carcasses and was stunned.

Fortunately, it was winter, with ice and snow and low temperatures, so the demon beast meat wouldn't spoil quickly.

"Are these all wolf demon carcasses?" Magistrate Chen looked at the mountain of wolf demon bodies.

"Could they be dogs?" Oliver joked.

"Has the demon calamity in Suiyuan County been eradicated?" Magistrate Chen was dumbfounded.

"Of course, with me taking action, all demons, ghosts, and monsters are slain," Oliver said narcissistically.

Hearing that the demon calamity had been eradicated, Magistrate Chen finally felt relieved.

He then asked, "General Sheng, why did you bring back these wolf demon bodies?"

"To eat! Wolf demon meat is still meat."

"Eat?!"

"You'll understand the benefits after you try it."

In the barracks, large iron pots were set up to stew the wolf demon meat.

The nine-thousand-man army stewed nearly a thousand wolf demons' meat at once.

Seeing the secret medicinal ingredients being added to the pots, Xiao Chuyi was now certain that the Sword Dao Sect disciple had taught Oliver the method to remove the demonic qi from the demon beast meat.

Soon, the entire barracks was filled with the aroma of meat, and many soldiers couldn't help but start drooling.

The scent was simply too tempting.

Oliver had wine brought in, giving each soldier a bowl of Western Wind Blaze, just enough to satisfy their cravings.

"Dig in! Eat as much as you can. If you feel your body heating up, practice the Wild Bull Strength to refine the essence in the demon beast meat," Oliver announced loudly, his voice reaching every soldier's ears.

As soon as Oliver finished speaking, the soldiers, who had been eagerly waiting, started grabbing large chunks of wolf demon meat and eating.

"Brother Jiang, since we're in the barracks, let's have a drink together," Oliver said to Jiang Yibai.

"Sure, General Sheng, let's have a toast!" Jiang Yibai said, clinking his wine jar with Oliver's.

"This wine is really strong, and it tastes great!"

Swordsmen loved good wine, and Jiang Yibai was no exception. From the first sip of Western Wind Blaze, he fell in love with it.

"This is delicious, really delicious!" Magistrate Chen said, taking a big bite of wolf demon meat.

After tasting the delicious demon beast meat, Cameron, Wesley, Felix, Hunter Tang, and Owen Hai all ate voraciously.

Soon, after eating the demon beast meat, many soldiers felt their bodies heating up.

Remembering Oliver's earlier words, they got up to practice Wild Bull Strength, refining the essence in the demon beast meat.

This time, Oliver had added some century-old medicinal herbs to the stew.

"General, did you encounter Isla Qin during your demon-slaying mission?" Magistrate Chen asked.

"Isla Qin?" Oliver looked at Magistrate Chen with a strange expression.

This simp was still thinking about that demoness?

That wasn't Isla Qin; it was Isla Su, who seemed to have a significant background, even possessing a half-step demon emperor's sacred artifact.

"You are a human county magistrate. That Isla Qin is a demon. Magistrate Chen, there's no future between you two, understand?" Oliver said earnestly.

"Sigh..."

Magistrate Chen sighed, took a big gulp of Western Wind Blaze, and then continued eating the demon beast meat.

"General, tell us about the demon-slaying mission," Cameron said.

"Yes, General, tell us."

Everyone looked at Oliver with curiosity and eagerness.

"Alright, let me tell you..."

...

After eating the demon beast meat, the soldiers under Oliver's command all saw improvements in their cultivation.

Although the demon beast meat wasn't as potent as the wolf demon king's meat, it still significantly boosted the cultivation of Oliver's ordinary soldiers.

For the next three days, the barracks were filled with the scent of demon beast meat.

Oliver added century-old lingzhi, ginseng, polygonatum, red essence grass, and other herbs collected from the black wolf demons' hoard to the stew, enhancing its medicinal properties and essence.

After three days, all the soldiers under Oliver's command had broken through to at least the mid-stage Martial Disciple level.

Now, the minimum cultivation level among his soldiers was Martial Disciple.

Although they lacked high-end combat power, the overall strength of his soldiers was no longer weak.

After the demon calamity ended, the Demon Slayer Division, martial artists, Victor Cui, and other provincial troops searched for over ten days but couldn't find the black wolf demons' hidden treasure.

The remnants of the Yin Corpse Sect, led by Parker Yin, lost two Gold Armored Corpses and were eventually rescued by a mysterious grandmaster from the demonic path.

The fox demon wasn't slain, and the remnants of the Yin Corpse Sect weren't eradicated. The Demon Slayer Division gained nothing and suffered significant casualties, making it a total loss.

...

In the following days, Oliver used the gold and silver he had brought back to recruit many craftsmen and accelerate the production of heavy armor.

With money, he continuously purchased medicinal food and meat for his soldiers, enhancing their training and cultivation.

Strengthen the army, strengthen the army, and strengthen the army!

Oliver spent some Kill Points to upgrade Wild Bull Strength to the Great Achievement level, unlocking a new technique.

He directly consumed Kill Points to deduce the technique, spending two thousand Kill Points to transform Wild Bull Strength into the Flood Dragon Devouring Technique.

The Flood Dragon Devouring Technique was a breathing and cultivation method that could be practiced as long as one could eat. It could be cultivated to the Prenatal Realm.

Wild Bull Strength could only be cultivated to the Martial Master realm, but the Flood Dragon Devouring Technique could be cultivated to the Prenatal Realm, making it very suitable for soldiers. As long as they could eat and train, theoretically, they could break through to the Prenatal Realm.

After successfully deducing the technique, Oliver immediately had his soldiers switch to the Flood Dragon Devouring Technique.

For ordinary soldiers, he taught them the cultivation method up to the Martial Master realm.

For those above the Martial Master realm, he taught them the system-deduced technique, having them switch to this new method.

After practicing this technique, the soldiers could eat even more.

Fortunately, he had made a fortune, with assets worth over a million taels of silver, enough to support his nine thousand soldiers.

In the following days, Oliver focused on training his troops. With no worries about food or clothing, he trained them hard. With the Flood Dragon Devouring Technique, as long as they could eat and train, they could become stronger.
