The path of invasion had almost turned into one of recruitment.
Not many battles were fought, and with minimal losses, the corps actually grew considerably in strength through recruitment.
Before the invasion war began, each of the five forces comprised nearly over a hundred thousand troops.
After the war started, the troops under each command directly expanded to two hundred thousand.
It really was growing like a snowball.
As for the surrendered mid-and lower-level officers or clerks of the City Lord's Mansion, they were mostly imprisoned and sent to Tianxiang City.
The stationed soldiers were directly absorbed, dispersed, and reformed into new units.
Originally, the garrison should have been over ten thousand, but with the issue of eating away at the pay, only more than five thousand old, weak, sick, and disabled remained.
Though their strength looked to be between the Second and Third Tier, the actual combat power was barely at the Second Tier.
