_1 Murphy, who is usually cheerful, unusually showed his temper tonight.
The reason was the reckless actions of the young players.
Their fearlessness was different from seeking death.
Consequently, their reckless choice to try jumping off cliffs because they had wings was an utterly pointless sacrifice.
He knew he had to make the players realize just how serious this matter was, so as to prevent mishaps, like soone not distinguishing reality from ga might leap off a tall building in reality.
Because then…
It wouldn’t be a problem that could be resolved with resurrection every three days.
Currently, it seed that the fact that the screening test for the selection of beta testers only had 66 questions was too conservative.
Once he found the ti, he would have to adjust that questionnaire again.
He had to at least guarantee that the players entering the ga must possess a certain level of self-control and judgnt skills.
Milian had already received news that Murphy would be coming over, so by the ti Murphy knocked on the door, she had already put a coat over her pajamas and made herself a cup of tea.
“I am aware that you vampires are exceptionally spirited during the night, but, forgive , my Lord, we normal people usually sleep at night.”
With yawns in succession, Milian said to Murphy,
“Is there any urgent matter that warrants waking at this ungodly hour?”
“Tomorrow, we will be recruiting 70 warriors from the Saxon Region.”
Murphy tossed a miniature Psychic Lightning, or rather, a “Psychic Static” at Milian.
The jumping crimson static quickly made the governor shake off her drowsiness.
While quickly gripping her hair that was standing on its ends from the static, she understood Murphy’s coded ssage.
Their lord was again recruiting warriors from the Other World.
Moreover, this ti he was summoning seventy warriors in one go!
This was an equal number to the total warriors they currently had, which ant the advantage that doubling their numbers would have brought.
Having been the Governor for so ti, Milian had fully realized the outstanding performance of these fearless Otherworlders during the handling of various special events.
Therefore, Murphy’s news made her eyes shine.
“So, are you looking for a suggestion from ?”
Milian took a sip of tea, pondered for a mont, and asked,
“A suggestion regarding the recruitnt of these ‘Saxon Mountain Folk’?”
“Right!
Because you are currently controlling the affairs of the territory, I want to hear your opinion.
You know that these mountain folk have various talents.
Their outstanding talents could be used for good.”
While stroking his chin, Murphy said,
“Like the four warriors you have already appointed, they share much of the administrative pressure with you, don’t they?”
“Hmm, if we consider it from this angle, then I would recomnd that you summon all seventy warriors this ti as administrative talents!”
Milian instantly got fired up.
But of course, she knew it was impossible, so after calming down, she took a sip of tea and said,
“At least one-fourth should be talents who are strong in administration.
They do not necessarily have to be managent types, we also need brilliant scholars like Dust Beater.
My Lord, I am planning to report to you my work of this period tomorrow.
Excluding Bataxin City, which has already been given to Knight Pallen as a fief, we currently have the loyalty of fifteen villages.
However, to manage them effectively, we cannot just remain at the claim-making level.
My idea is to send dedicated people to those villages to replace the village chiefs, or simply move them near the Crimson Castle.
Either way, there are plenty of abandoned villages in the Baronies of Morlan and Rim for them to dwell in, or even more directly, involve them in the rebuilding of the Crimson Castle.
I think everyone will have so sense of belonging for a city they have built with their own hands.”
Having said that, the Crimson Governor put down her cup of tea.
She toyed with her hair that was still static-filled, and said to Murphy,
“I think that these villagers would be easier to manage than the Blood Servants we are about to take in.
Even if the prisoners who will be returned to us are loyal to their vampire captors, they are soldiers and thus unsuitable to stay in the currently desolate Crimson Castle.
What do you think?”
“As for that, I have my own plans.”
Murphy shook his head and said,
“In the past, the villages in Transylvania were too far apart, which seriously affected the administrative efficiency of this area.
I plan to take this opportunity to re-plan the division of all the villages in Transylvania, gather the people to form more efficient collective farms instead of allowing them to labor freely.
Their productivity was just too low.
We now have witch hunters, their control over natural psychic power can make the farmland we farm more fertile and also allow the barley to grow better next spring.
Of course, this is a long-term plan, it needs your administrative team to discuss it slowly.
For now, let’s just talk about tomorrow’s warrior recruitnt.
Are you sure a quarter of administrators is enough?”
“It seems to be enough for now.”
Milian nodded and said,
“I have to set up the frawork for the territorial rule first.
The first step is to establish the critical nodes of governance.
According to Professor Malcolm’s advice, having too many officials during this phase may not look good.
The 15-20 administrative warriors serving as an experint for the new governance model of the Crimson Castle and the nearby villages are more than enough.
Since we will be receiving a large number of prisoners from two countries soon, I was planning to build a few more villages at the quarry in Morlan Village and the logging camp near Rim Village to accommodate them.
