After Lou Gao understood the situation, he could only discuss the preparations with the blacksmiths one by one.
Although the blacksmiths were unwilling, they understood the dangers that lay ahead.
Fortunately, Song Ye gave them a guarantee:
"Everyone may bring their families with them!"
"I will cover all living expenses! As long as you are considered one of us in the Blacksmith Association, none of you will be treated unfairly!"
Only after receiving Song Ye's promise did the blacksmiths agree willingly.
After giving his orders, Lou Gao approached Song Ye again.
"Young Master, the Blacksmith Association has a total of fourteen thousand seven hundred registered blacksmiths."
"Most registered blacksmiths are scattered across the continent, and there are even more independent blacksmiths who have never registered."
"As for the blacksmiths in Gengxin City willing to accept orders now, there are one thousand in total. Including their families, there are roughly five thousand people."
"Young Master, will we have somewhere to live?"
Song Ye nodded. "Yes. Don't worry."
In truth, after saying that, Song Ye felt somewhat apprehensive.
When he had read the original Douluo Continent novel in his previous life, he had never known that Gengxin City had so many blacksmiths. Their numbers were counted in the thousands.
With their families included, there would be five thousand people. He would have to buy an enormous plot of land.
Over the past year, Song Ye had earned over a million Gold Soul Coins by selling weapons.
If he went to Heaven Dou City to buy land, who knew how much it would cost?
It seemed he would still need to find some connections for help...
However, with these blacksmiths working together with the Speed Clan from today onward, they at least looked like a proper sect in terms of numbers.
