701: Chapter 502 Peripheral Reaction_1 701: Chapter 502 Peripheral Reaction_1 Once the number of people exceeded ten thousand, all shapes and colors were represented.
The number of people migrating from Darama had increased by fifteen percent more than the initial count, reaching over fifteen thousand.
Together with the more than two thousand people brought back by General Kopofiel, the total population was approaching eighteen thousand.
Not to ntion all sorts of horses, mules, donkeys, and cattle.
In total, they exceeded ten thousand, and there were over a thousand carts of various specifications.
Gaven and Zalanda were both flexible and adaptable.
The primary thes they had set during the eting were not rigid but involved multiple policies functioning simultaneously, employing various ans such as buying, renting, exchanging, or transferring, deploying every tactic in their arsenal.
“Where are you planning to go?” Zalanda, who was rapidly browsing through various docunts at his desk, asked without lifting his head.
Gaven, who was sneaking around intending to slip away, stiffened and turned his head with an ingratiating smile, saying, “I’m just going to take a look outside.
Today is Darren’s first day of rallying the troops to recruit soldiers, and I heard it’s already bloody…”
“General Kopofiel is already in charge there, with Anna’s Heal team and Kellysha’s Golia Guard assisting.
What’s there to worry about?
They’re all hot-blooded warriors, and when they gather to compete for position, what could be more fitting than a good fight?
A bit of bloodshed is nothing out of the ordinary.”
After finishing the docunt in his hands, Zalanda looked up solemnly at Gaven and said, “That’s their battlefield.
By going there, you’re not helping Darren, but causing more trouble for him.
What is the Vanguard Army?
It’s the shield that stands apart from the main force.
You can remote control it, but not directly manage it.
You must grant them the right to adapt on their own, and it is because General Kopofiel saw this quality in Darren that he recomnded him to you.
You need to get rid of your ddling habits.
Leave enough room for the boy to grow, because only then can he bring surprises to you.”
“Understood.” Gaven coughed dryly and explained, “I wasn’t planning to show up directly just now; I intended to observe invisibly.”
He certainly couldn’t tell Zalanda that he simply wanted a break from the overwhelming stack of statistics that was giving him a headache.
Such an admission would only earn him a lecture.
But Zalanda wasn’t easily fooled and huffed, “I bet you’re bored from looking at paperwork and planning to sneak off!
Get back here and continue analyzing and assessing the abilities of those knights.
They will be your foundation, your core team.
The middle and high ranks of your human lieges are also likely to erge from their ranks.
Starting now, you must completely transform your managent philosophy.
You no longer have the luxury of dealing directly with the common folk like you used to.
No matter how efficient you are, you’re only one person.
Even if you do nothing else all day, how many commoners can you et and how many issues can you handle in twenty-four hours?
It’s fine to conduct public relations activities, but they are mostly a show, put on for the lieges to see.
Your main task is here, to understand and manage these knight commanders, so they can fully utilize their talents and resources, letting them beco your eyes, your hands, your mouth, carrying out your sight, actions, and speech.
In this way, you can multiply yourself by hundreds, even thousands, and govern populations in the tens, even hundreds of thousands, or millions.”
In the past few days, the two had been inseparable, with Zalanda ntoring Gaven in the true path of lordship.
“The lady is correct.
I’ve been negligent.
Let’s continue assessing these knight commanders.” Gaven obediently sat back down at the desk.
Zalanda’s words made sense to him, but so things couldn’t be turned around in a short period of ti.
“This knight nad Bude has been too crude and direct in his thods over the past three days, a true brute.
He’s not suitable for commanding the commoners’ battalion in the main army but should be placed in the Flank Pioneer Army to charge into battle.”
“I have the sa opinion.
Conversely, Baobo, his assistant, is cautious and ticulous.
If this team hasn’t turned into a ssy porridge, he has played a significant role in it.
Perhaps we should promote him directly to a commander and select a new assistant for him, especially since he’s already familiar with the team.”
“That can be done, but his Professional Level is a bit low.
When we assign him an assistant, we should try to maintain so Balance.”
“It’s not easy to Balance.
If the gap is too wide, the assistant will not only fail to help him but could beco an impedint, leading to internal strife for control.
They’re unlikely to face combat directly, so just pair him with a relatively straightforward subordinate.”
“That approach works as well.
We’ll just need to watch closely and make tily adjustnts.
Let’s move to the next one.
This Donald has been very impressive, with both strength and skill, handling things very adaptively.
He alone could do the work of two, and the knight assistant paired with him has beco nothing more than a decoration.
This indirectly suggests that he has a strong desire for power and will need further observation and assessnt.”
“Having a strong desire for power isn’t necessarily bad.
It’s about whether we can keep it in check and use it for ourselves.
In managing people, we must not only utilize their loyalty but also their desires.”
“You’ve beco addicted to using villains lately.
Be careful of being stabbed in the back.”
“The knife in the back can only co from soone off-guard, not from one who is vigilant.
You can’t deny that sotis these villains are very useful.”
