Under the current conditions, neither Nanmu City nor Shanyun City have a professional army on duty 24/7.
Most people engage in labor during peacetime and come together for combat when needed. After all, with the current scarcity of the population and labor, everyone needs to participate in labor such as ice fishing to survive and develop.
Shanyun City has now formed an elite troop of 200 men, who don't need to ice fish but can still obtain ample evolution resources. Their main duty is to act as a rapid response team that can engage in combat at any moment to deal with unforeseen situations.
Xiao Zhe has also established such a team in Nanmu City, though it only has around a hundred people.
When Xia Luo was defending Star Moon Town, despite having a thousand elites, they still had to engage in labor every day, ice fishing in the lake.
"Isn't 200 people a little too few?" Tan Zong asked.
