Yelishao De's Troubles

Besides having to guard against his third brother Alexandre and the great noble faction, Yelishao De also had to manage the Dion Empire's economy.

At present, the Dion Empire had sufficient food supplies, so that was not a problem. The problems were economic reconstruction and population.

The Dion Empire was now sending even children onto the battlefield.

Although Yelishao De controlled the Annihilation Army, young soldiers and child soldiers accounted for around 30% of its ranks. The Annihilation Army, on the other hand, basically had no child soldiers at all, only young soldiers at most, and they made up only about 10%.

This was also why Yelishao De did not dare order the Annihilation Army to carry out a purge of the great noble faction. If he did, it would inevitably provoke a counterattack from the Annihilation Army on his brother's side.

Yelishao De could only hold back against the great noble faction for now. There would be time in the future.

Within the Annihilation Army, Yelishao De abolished the forced conscription of child soldiers and allowed those children to return to their families. As for the forcibly conscripted young soldiers, they were incorporated into the regular army.
