Since it was difficult to draw the spell formations of the Gnomes, Yang Ling was unable to quickly build the magical army that he wanted. He decided to focus his efforts on clearing the Ladak Mountain Range. He was going to analyze the spell formations slowly after obtaining what he needed to begin developing Wissen Town.
With the Gnomes leading the way, Yang Ling no longer had to pretend to be a merchant team as bait. He ordered his army to make their way straight to the nearest aboriginal tribe.
The Gnome army was taking shape after undergoing preliminary training and eliminating those with inadequate physical abilities. Even though they were far from the elite barbarians and elf archers, they were at least better than they had been. They would not charge forward in a disorganized mess at every situation they encountered.
