Chapter Summary
To be honest, although Wei Xiong had been a Controller for a long time, it had always been for his own Gathering Point. According to the original plan, the money they earned from their last trip out of the city was enough to hire Patrol Team Members for their side, but with Zhang Chu's side added, it was somewhat insufficient. Since We've hired 6 Warrior Apprentices from outside, how should our own Warrior Apprentices be scheduled?" One of Zhang Chu's subordinates brought up another issue.
To be honest, although Wei Xiong had been a Controller for a long time, it had always been for his own Gathering Point. Now that he had merged with Zhang Chu's Gathering Point, the two combined had over 30,000 people. Seeing them all gathered here for a meeting gave Wei Xiong a small sense of accomplishment.
However, this sense of accomplishment didn't last five minutes before a large wave of difficulties arrived.
The defensive line Outside the City used to be only 100 meters, but Now it was 200 meters. According to the original plan, the money they earned from their last trip out of the city was enough to hire Patrol Team Members for their side, but with Zhang Chu's side added, it was somewhat insufficient.
But since he had already promised others, he had to take responsibility for this matter Now; otherwise, what kind of Controller would he be?
Unlike Wei Xiong's mood, Zhang Chu was feeling very happy.
Although he had lost his position as the top leader, at least his Gathering Point was saved. If Wei Xiong didn't look after him, Zhang Chu's Gathering Point wouldn't have lasted a month. They could guess what kind of fate would have awaited them with their toes.
Now, although he had been demoted to second-in-command, he no longer needed to worry about certain headache-inducing problems. We just need to honestly follow orders, which could also be considered a gain.
"We're talking about serious business, stop looking around aimlessly."
Wei Xiong tapped on the table to draw Everyone's attention. At this moment, most people were looking at Sun Qiang because Sun Qiang hadn't sat down; he was standing behind Liu Ning.
Liu Ning had found his seat, and right next to it was Sun Qiang's seat, even though Wei Xiong had handled Sun Qiang's situation very discreetly.
But Sun Qiang was a warrior after all, so there had to be a seat for him during the meeting. However, Sun Qiang simply refused to sit down. He had his own reasons—how could he sit side-by-side with his big brother?
So Sun Qiang chose to stand behind Liu Ning, which was also a form of respect for Liu Ning. Regarding this matter, Liu Ning had tried to persuade him twice, but since he insisted on doing so, Liu Ning simply let it be.
Liu Ning didn't think there was any problem, but These people below felt there was an issue. After all, this was a warrior.
In this Gathering Point, there were only two formal warriors, and their status was very high. Sun Qiang's strength was greater than both of theirs, but Now Sun Qiang was standing. If the rest of us were sitting, it might be somewhat inappropriate.
Many people looked at Liu Ning, wondering what kind of merit This Fellow had to be able to find a warrior to be his lackey. Moreover, this warrior was incredibly respectful to Liu Ning. It was truly strange to speak of; how exactly did he do it?
"I've called Everyone here today primarily for one issue. Originally, We were going to hire all our Patrol Team Members, but Now We can only afford to hire 60%. The remaining 40% must be recruited from our Gathering Point, including 6 Warrior Apprentices. This is unavoidable. If We don't do this, We won't be able to assemble a Patrol Team. If We can't complete the tasks from the Garrison Headquarters, We will still be punished."
Wei Xiong didn't bother to explain much and went straight to the point.
Besides needing to take care of Zhang Chu's side, Wei Xiong had also done detailed calculations after returning. If they really hired 100% of the staff, their funds wouldn't last very long.
That's why he came up with such a ratio. In fact, the higher-ups had already decided; they were just letting the people below discuss it. If there was a better way, We would certainly use it. If not, then We'll follow this.
Zhang Chu was the first to express his agreement. Zhang Chu was very aware of the situation Outside the City; they couldn't place the entire burden on the Hunting Squad.
If it were all placed on the Hunting Squad, what if something happened to them Outside the City? Everyone still remembered what happened last time vividly!
If Liu Ning hadn't reacted quickly, These people might not have come back. Those Bandits wouldn't listen to reason. So our luck can't always be that good; We have to save some money Now.
In case the Hunting Squad can't earn money in the future, the Gathering Point still won't be able to continue and would be disbanded by the Garrison Headquarters. The result would be the same. So We need to save some money to give ourselves some reaction time.
"I also agree with this plan..."
The people below also expressed their agreement one after another. After all, this was a sustainable development plan. Although it required some children to go up, this matter could also be viewed from another perspective.
If these children weren't allowed to go up, they might never know the sacrifices of the warriors or the horrors Outside the City. They had to be made to realize the current reality.
"Controller, I have a question. Since We've hired 6 Warrior Apprentices from outside, how should our own Warrior Apprentices be scheduled?"
One of Zhang Chu's subordinates brought up another issue. This Fellow's thinking was very simple: he wanted to see if there could be a rotation where they didn't have to go out. After all, it was so dangerous out there. Since the pay was the same anyway, as long as We hide Within the City, wouldn't We earn money just the same?
"Humph, I know what you're thinking. Rest assured, there will never be a time when you're idle. Although I've hired 6 Warrior Apprentices, I have other arrangements. In a few days, We have another hunting operation, and I'll be taking 6 Warrior Apprentices with me. You can choose for yourselves Now: either come hunting with us or patrol Outside the City."
Wei Xiong snorted coldly. He looked down on people who were so afraid of death. When Wei finished speaking, no one below made a sound.
They had originally thought that by hiring 6 Warrior Apprentices, the people on their side could have a good rest. Who knew there was a follow-up move? Fortunately, they hadn't said much just Now. A hunting operation 5 Kilometers Outside the City was far more dangerous than patrolling under the City Wall.
They also knew the statistics. For a Warrior Apprentice, if they only patrolled Outside the City, the annual mortality rate was only 10%. But if you went to hunt at the 5 Kilometers mark, there was a 30% mortality rate and a 20% chance of the entire team being wiped out.
At 5 Kilometers Outside the City, a Warrior Apprentice had almost no power to fight back. So these fellows all hoped they could stay on the patrol route. As for the 5 Kilometers mark, whoever wanted to go could go, but they hoped they wouldn't be called; it was simply too dangerous there.
Seeing the cowardly look on These people, Zhang Chu slapped the table and stood up.
