The situation did not go as smoothly as Chen Qing had anticipated.
His forces expanded only to a thousand Foundation Establishments, and then he could no longer expand.
Aside from the two hundred from the Dragon Elephant Tribe and the additional hundred Foundation Establishments recruited by Lu Shenglong,
the other three main forces only gathered a little over a hundred people.
A large number of Yan Country Foundation Establishments went further south to the Vermilion Bird Tribe to pledge allegiance to their Young Master, Zhu Ning.
It was an unavoidable situation, as Chen Qing had little prestige in Yan Country.
Moreover, he was merely passing through, with no compelling reason to take Yan Country's Foundation Establishments to fight against Yan Shiyin.
Why would someone risk their life for him when they were living comfortably?
