Chapter 836: Vol V Chapter 196

Sui Xiong thought for a long time, but he was still unable to figure out what he should get those trainees to do in the future .

His first consideration was to let these people be instructors and train the new army . But the key to a new army was the use of Divine Power to carry out the washing process . This group of men certainly had no means of carrying out the washing of new recruits with Divine Power . So this consideration was meaningless .

Then he considered making creating an independent troop of soldiers out of this group of men, to make them into something like a special force;the novels like King of Urban Soldiers and King of Soldiers in the Other Land that he had read before traversing worlds had largely influenced his way of thinking .

But after careful consideration, he rejected this ideal as well .

A group of high-level warriors used to create a special unit of soldiers? This seemed a little too extravagant . Just like on Earth, there were many countries with a large number of professional athletes . But no one had ever gotten the athletes who were not the cream of the crop to change profession and become agents of some secret service .

As for why athletes and secret agents were linked? There was no need to go deeply into such a minor issue .

No matter how Sui Xiong thought about it, he could not come up with a good idea . So, he simply brought the issue up to the high-level meeting of the Republic of Northwest as a topic of discussion and allowed the higher-ups to discuss and settle the problem

As a result, this group of men became far more popular than he had expected . All departments immediately rushed to say that they were short of staff and had to get this group of people to work in their department .

Exploration work out in the wilderness by the Ministry of Mines, training and patrolling work in the Ministry of Defense, bodyguards of trade caravans in the commercial sector… it makes sense that these departments would voice their want for these men, but why would the Ministry of Culture and Education need high-level warriors? Sui Xiong wondered after hearing what they had to say .

The minister of the Ministry of Culture and Education, Felix Isuka, who had stepped down from his post as a first line governor, immediately replied, “The Ministry of Culture and Education does not only deal with teaching culture and knowledge . In fact, we organize military training for our students every year . Usually twice a year, and each training period will take around two weeks . If we have this group of outstanding men to supplement our training as instructors, the standard of our military training can be greatly improved . Also, our students are generally young, and their ability to learn and receive knowledge is high . The more outstanding the instructor, the more progress they can make . At this point in time, the little bit of progress they make will be amplified along with their growth in the future . So, I think that getting these outstanding talents to take up roles as military training instructors is the best way to give full play to their value!”

“You must be kidding! It’s only four weeks in an entire year . Wasting a group of high-level masters just for this?!” exclaimed the minister of the Ministry of Mines . He was not going to give in just because the other party was a Legendary Master . “The Ministry of Mines does a lot of exploration work in the wilderness . Our explorers need ample protection . This is the most direct and most appropriate way to make use of them!”

“They are no ordinary high-level warriors . They are soldiers who have excellent discipline and are familiar with military affairs!” Felix emphasized . “Spreading them out to protect the explorers would be a true waste of their talents!”

“Waste?! You’re only making them work for four weeks in an entire year, and you dare talk to me about waste?!”

“Now, now, let’s not quarrel!” the head of the Regiment of Knights, Gerald, hurriedly advised . But giving his advice, he quickly added, “Since they are all so competent and disciplined, why not consider changing their profession to knights? Our Regiment of Knights should also form an armed force of something more than holy knights…”

“In fact, it’s not a bad idea to get them into the Ministry of Civil Affairs,” said the Minister of Civil Affairs, Madame Teague Parne . The wrangle among the others was still ongoing, and yet Madame Teague Parne just had to add fuel to the fire by saying, “The Ministry of Civil Affairs has a lot of work to do, and a lot of it requires venturing deep into various pioneer villages . Honestly speaking, it’s really a little dangerous . Every year, there are people getting injured or even killed as they are attacked by magic beasts while on the job . If we had such a capable force, we’d feel much more at ease . ”

“Hello! Turning the high-level warriors into messengers is also a great waste!”

“Aren’t high-level warriors human? Why should they be the ones to take risks just because they are strong? By being messengers, they can make full use of their strengths, and also, the job is safe enough . I find it very appropriate . ”

Seeing how another quarrel was about to start here again, Sui Xiong could not help sighing inwardly .

But before he could finish his sigh, a few other lords actually joined in this battle for talent .

The very first to speak was the current baron of Keane Hill, Louis Keane . He said that Keane Hill had now become an autonomous state, but its armed forces were relatively inadequate in comparison . He also mentioned that Keane Hill was located within the principality of the Duchy of Thunder and was all-surrounded by enemies . There would be a guarantee of safety if it had such a strong group of super soldiers permanently residing within its grounds .

And this could also give full play to their military force, as well as their discipline, so that both aspects would not go to waste .

He had barely finished speaking when the city lord of Grey Tower City, Mr Hart, spoke up too . The old scholar said that the Alliance of Four Cities had always been very short of masters . And it did not have enough warriors in its troops . If it could have such an army of excellent soldiers, they could combine it with the original team of spellcasters to gain a double advantage . Thereafter, the Alliance could completely stabilize its rule and no longer have to worry about being attacked again .

Immediately following Mr Hart, the lord of Geerteng Hill also spoke up . This young man who had succeeded the mace of the lord from his Aunt Olian, who had recently announced her retirement, was a little shy at first . But facing the temptation of having an almost instantaneous increase of over a dozen high-level masters, he quickly adjusted his mentality and expressed how Geerteng’s stationery market really needed a strong, powerful patrol and security team . This was not something dispensable; it was an urgent demand .

Last but not least, even Dahl Hill, who just joined the crowd, also participated in this competition . Baron Dahl had been deliberating what his own strengths were, and eventually, he did manage to come up with one—he said that soldiers should shine on the battlefield so as to live up to their years of painstaking training .

Dahl Hill had one advantage that no other territories could match up to . It was adjacent to the Great Marsh, which gave them a very big space for carving out new land . So long as they could open up more territories, they could arrange for more people to settle down in these territories . They could even make these warriors into knights with fief that could be passed down in their families from generation to generation .

Sui Xiong secretly bared his teeth at his words—the Republic of Northwest had abolished the feudal system, how could he even use fiefdom as a topic of discussion?

But even so, Sui Xiong had to admit that Baron Dahl had a point . If those trainees were given a choice, most of them would probably be more inclined towards Dahl Hill, where they would carve up more land and shine on the battlefield .

Seeing how the debate was gradually brought to a standstill . At this moment, the head of the medical team, Steele Geerteng, who had been silent all this while, spoke .

“I have a question,” she said . “Is it really useful for you all to argue around here?”

The crowd froze and looked at her .

“In arguing like this, aren’t you all simply taking them as goods? But they are not goods . They are people who are very much alive!” Steele said . With a face full of bitter resentment, she said, “They are humans, tough and strong high-level warriors . They are excellent soldiers who are courageous and tenacious . How can you all just treat them as goods and fight for them in this manner!”

The crowd was put to shame at her words, and everyone lowered their heads .

Even Sui Xiong was shocked . It had never occurred to him that Steele would say something like this . Words that carried such standard, words that exuded such charisma!

Steele saw how stunned everyone was, so she smiled and said, “Why don’t we just go and talk to them in person and extend our invitation to them ourselves . Let them decide on where they want to go . This is the most appropriate way . ”

The crowd was quick to nod in agreement . They were all about to go along with her suggestion, but Sui Xiong could not help jumping to his feet .

He had just unconsciously looked into Steele’s mind . But what he saw was a scene of unseemliness .

This woman, she also had plans for that group of trainees!
