Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 113:

403.Chapter 403

Sui Xiong was already very satisfied with being able to recruit Leonard, a powerful evil god, but then he discovered that the good news was far more than that.

As an evil god, Leonard is not a polished commander, but a group of subordinates.

His subordinates are mainly rangers-not the "rangers" who are good at horseback and archery, wearing light armor and short weapons, but wandering knights in the general sense. Many of these people are literate in reading, especially the rangers. Many of them have a fairly high level of education, and they have considerable social experience, and they are fully qualified for the work of civil servants.

Although most young rangers express no interest in settling down, the rangers will eventually get old. The older rangers are happy to have a stable job and can use their wisdom when the force has declined. Come and do something beneficial to the people and society.

These rangers have been in the arena for many years, often dealing with many troublesome things alone, and have accumulated a lot of experience. Even those who are in their twilight years and don't have the energy to deal with government affairs can still become teachers in schools and pass on their own experience, as if they were passed on from generation to generation.

For this result, the rangers are very satisfied, and Leonard is also very satisfied.

He has been less active over the years, and the main reason is that the number of aging subordinates has gradually increased. Most of these rangers worshiped the hero Paul when they were young, and then followed in the footsteps of their idols. When a hero is a hero who is righteous, he can't ignore these people regardless of reason.

Reynard is really happy to find them a good home.

Sui Xiong is also very happy.

The rangers have excellent skills, and Leonard's skills are even more amazing.

This is relatively young--maybe the youngest Cthulhu in the contemporary era. His abilities are quite outstanding, not to mention civil affairs. His most important ability lies in the military.

In the entire Northwestern Republic and all of Sui Xiong's men, he is the only person who has truly commanded the army, fought, and fought victorious battles.

Reynard, the "heavy lion" in the past, was one of the marshals in the southern theater of the orc empire. Although he usually defends instead of attacking, he has also commanded tens of thousands of huge troops on many occasions. He Xiong The Eagle Kingdom fought in a row. Each has its own wins and losses, but it has never really lost or lost.

This military capability is incomparable to Leon, who almost became king of the Eagle Kingdom.

For Sui Xiong, this means that there is finally a serious "senior officer" in his camp.

So the job he assigned to Leonard was an instructor.

"You asked me to teach the soldiers to teach them military discipline, art of war and tactics?" After listening to his arrangement, Leonard was silent for a moment and asked, "How many soldiers do you have?"

Sui Xiong made an estimate and said: "There are probably... three to four hundred people."

"This scale is too small." Leonard sighed, "The officers below the centurion captain, don't ask me to teach. I'm really not good at small-scale operations."

"Didn't you have been a ranger for a while?"

"At that time, I was a lone ranger." Leonard shook his head. "Commanding the army, I have experience; fighting alone, I also have experience. Only commanding a small army, thirty or fifty such, I No experience at all."

"...Have you ever commanded an army of this size?"

"No, I joined the army when I was a teenager, and kept charging. Although my rank is high, I am actually just a man. I didn't really lead soldiers until I stepped into the legendary realm, and I directly took charge of half of the southern theater." Leonard smiled. Say, "When I had the least soldiers, it was more than 10,000."

Sui Xiong was silent for a while, then sighed deeply.

The Northwestern Republic is still too small!

But he didn't feel depressed for long, and soon cheered up again.

"Don't worry, your experience will always be useful for a day." He said, "The Ash Forest is actually huge. As long as the negative energy is purified, it is enough to accommodate a huge country."

Reynard was taken aback and asked: "Do you have a way to purify the entire ash forest?"

"My mage group leader has been studying this." Sui Xiong smiled, "The effect is not bad."

Reynard's eyes brightened. As a strong man who is good at fighting, he has a sharper mind than Sui Xiong on many issues.

"This is a talent worthy of vigorous cultivation!" He said, "If he can really work out a way to purify the entire ash forest, he will probably use it to make a god. The priesthood of'purification' does not have a specific corresponding deity. You can compete!"

"Huh? Are you not an evil god? I remember you don't encourage others to enshrine gods?"

Reynard smiled: "Possessing the priesthood does not mean that the gods should be enshrined. On the contrary, possessing the priesthood without making the gods can prevent latecomers from embarking on this wrong path."

Sui Xiong was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Is that all right?"

"Of course. The priesthood is essentially the manifestation of'mastery'. You can choose to make it manifest, or you can choose not to make it manifest. But whether manifested or not,'mastery' is not It will change." Leonard said, "As long as the first mover has enough'master', there is no hope for the later ones to replace them. For example, you see that there are deities in the world such as machinery, organs, and constructing creatures. Right?"

Sui Xiong thought for a while and shook his head.

"That's because these aspects have been mastered by the'Machinery Realm's Great Cthulhu' so much that it is impossible for the latecomers to grab shares with him in the source of the world. This situation is incompatible with the gods who monopolize the priesthood. There is no difference, but one is dark and the other is bright."

Sui Xiong suddenly realized that he couldn't help but admire Leonard's thinking.

Leonard may not be particularly strong, but his level of thinking about problems has far surpassed many veteran powerhouses.

The other evil gods only thought of retreating from the world to live freely, and those with a greater vision were nothing more than self-contained kings and hegemonies, but Leonard thought of controlling the priesthood, and promoted this practice to reduce the number of later gods... Can think of it so far-reaching, no wonder he can become so powerful in just over a thousand years!

He admired it for a while, and then asked Leonard what comments and suggestions he had about the current Northwest Republic.

"In my opinion, the biggest problem in this country is insufficient output." Leonard said, "It is true that Void City's daily income is more than enough to support a country. But for a country to develop, You cannot rely on the central government alone to help localities. Each locality should have its own competitive industry to support itself. At first glance, in the Northwestern Republic, only the Gold Rush Town seems to be relatively backward. In fact, if it is really necessary to develop according to the standards of the Void City, or If you retreat and develop according to the standards of Pyroxene Town, then all the other three towns will not be qualified!

"The most troublesome thing is that there is no way to solve the problems in these three towns for the time being." Leonard sighed, "Dragon's Roar Town's output comes from the hunting of monsters, even if the number of monsters can be managed to increase. The hunters cannot increase too much for a while; the output of Rye Town comes from agriculture and commerce, and it is impossible to increase it drastically in a short period of time; in contrast, it is already a depressed gold rush town. It can develop rapidly in a short time because it has enough miners and can also engage in negative energy crystallization mines."

Sui Xiong pondered, considering Leonard's words carefully.

After thinking about it for a while, he asked: "How do you solve it?"

"Merge." Leonard said, "The four towns are too many. Give up some of them and merge the population into others. In my opinion, the town of Rye can be transformed into a fortress and the agriculture there will be eliminated. As for Longhou Town, it is recommended not to promote the living standards of the Void City in Longhou Town and let it continue to maintain the original standard of living in Longhou Town. In this wild posture, you can also train troops by the way."

Sui Xiong was stunned, he had never thought of this approach. After pondering for a while, I asked: "Why should I transform Rye Town into a fortress? The gold coin federation on the opposite side has a good relationship with the Republic."

"The relationship is good now." Leonard said lightly. "As the Republic becomes stronger, more and more civilians from the Gold Coin Federation will move here, and the relationship between each other will get worse and worse. It's a fight. It's okay to be ready now."

Sui Xiong was even more surprised: "Why should I fight the country of my allies!"

"The current ally is only." Leonard said, "The goddess of wealth is a **** of faith, and he must obey the will of the merchants. Today's Void City, and the Republic with Void City as the core, has formed an independent This huge business system. This system continues to make huge profits~IndoMTL.com~ but other merchants can get relatively little profit from it. Over time, the greed of the merchants will force him to change his attitude sooner or later."

"He is not that kind of person."

"It has nothing to do with who he is. Faith in God has no choice in the face of faith." Leonard sighed, "This is the case for the **** of justice, let alone the goddess of wealth?"

Sui Xiong thought of Leonard's experience back then and couldn't help sighing deeply.

It can be seen that this evil **** is still in his heart, which gives rise to a strong prejudice.

"Don't worry, I will find a way to solve the contradiction before it intensifies." He smiled and said, "After the contradiction has intensified to a certain degree, there is really no way, but I will not let the contradiction intensify to that point."

"The greed and sinisterness of the human heart is not so easy to solve." Leonard said coldly, "Even if you have the power to reach the sky, you can't use it in this regard."

"In essence, human beings pursue stability and peace, and survival is the greatest desire." Sui Xiong met people on the forum to discuss this problem. He also sorted out the information before, and now he just opens his mouth. Come, "other desires overwhelm the desire for survival. Of course there are such situations, but it will not be the majority."

"It is civilians and soldiers who die, and what they gain is the power and wealth of the ruler. How can this kind of thing be prevented?" Leonard asked.

"Let the rulers go and die first." Sui Xiong replied with a smile.

Leinard was silent. He looked at Sui Xiong deeply, as if he had known this jellyfish **** for the first time.

"You are right! Why did I never think of this choice!" After a long time, he sighed deeply and said, "Now I am really curious about how you will lead this unprecedented The country, which direction to go, what kind of achievements..."
