347.Chapter 345 344 I’ve always said that the slave catching team is the version

Chapter 345 344.I’ve been saying it for a long time, the slave catchers are the version answer ah!

By early morning the next day, Maxim, who had been busy all night, returned to his temporary office with a roster, where Murphy was already waiting for him to report.

But as the governor Murphy had no interest in paying attention to those minutiae, he had already realized in the past period of time that his most important duty for the current Transylvania was to grasp the general direction rather than being personally involved in every single thing.

As the saying goes, the sea is navigated by the helmsman!
Murphy is the current helmsman of Transylvania, although he is still not very skillful and may lead a boat full of people to ruin at any time, but as he said himself, after experiencing the repeated beatings of destiny, the vampire lord has already left the stage of “novice”, and no longer seeks to do everything himself.

The greatest significance of establishing a complete organization lies in the fact that complicated things can be dispersed in a systematic manner, and each person taking on a part of the work can make everyone’s pressure effectively reduced, and as the creator of the current ruling organization of Transylvania, Murphy, even if he is not willing to do so, he also has to set a good example.

What’s more, now that there was Miriam’s Administrative Corps and Administrative Players in the text, and Maxim and Kudel and those combat professionals in the martial arts, it allowed Murphy to walk quickly and steadily on two legs, and he didn’t have the slightest worry that he would fall on his face.

Especially after yesterday’s experience of getting more than 70,000 territories in one breath after getting the allegiance of the mountain people had already told Murphy that his work in the past period of time had been fruitful.

This made His Excellency the Governor more and more confident.

“So, the result of your personal inspection is that the Third Brigade is still saved?”

Murphy finished reading the roster submitted by Maxim, and he said to his loyal servant:

“According to your categorization, the ratio of fanatics to sane among the remaining 3300 people in the Third Brigade is roughly 3:7, which means that most of the armed Blood Servants aren’t actually as fanatical and extreme as we thought?”

“Yes, master.”

Maxim responded in a calm tone:

“I had a long talk with Colonel Flanders, and he told me that in the past, when the three brigades of the Armed Blood Servants recruited new recruits, they wouldn’t select the overly fanatical Blood Servants to join the army.

The fanatics may truly be unafraid of death, but after all, the army still needs soldiers who have sense and know how to obey orders.

This makes the Armed Blood Servants the most loyal group of people in Transylvania to the vampires, but in reality, the number of ‘baffled people’ among them is far less than the group of bottom tier Blood Servants that I came from.

Colonel Flanders doesn’t have much resistance to the decisions we’ve made so far, and he appreciates the fact that the Blood Vulture Clan will take the zealots under their wing and manage them instead of leaving them to fend for themselves.

As for himself .
I actually think that the former battle hero is not a vampire wannabe in his undertones, and while he outwardly acts loyal, he doesn’t actually seem to be looking forward to becoming a vampire.

Faced with my unsolicited solicitation, the colonel said he would have to think about it for a few days.

Moreover, his loved ones are still in Scarlet Fortress, and having luckily escaped the disaster in Cadman City, all Flanders wants to do now is to go home to his family.”

“So do you think this guy is credible?”

Murphy asked again.

Maxim shook his head and said:
“I don’t have your gift of being able to tell lies and detect whether someone is trustworthy or not from the mind, I can only tell you that with the current contact I think this colonel can be of use to us. The experience and skills he possesses regarding war can help me better train the first recruits of the People’s Army.

Therefore, I would like to maintain his rank and transfer him into my command as my adjutant, subject to his approval of course.

From what I’ve observed, Colonel Flanders seems to have lost his enthusiasm for the war, and perhaps he will choose to retire from it as well.”

“Make your own decisions on these matters, Mark.”

Murphy said, waving his hand:

“I’m not a soldier nor would I try to command an insider from an outsider, if you think you can control him then go boldly, but if something goes wrong you’ll have to take a beating and stand upright as well.”

“I understand! I’ll take all the consequences that this decision will trigger.”

Maxim nodded as he added:
“Also, about those Yankee prisoners, they’re going to be more compliant than I thought, perhaps because of the violent repression, or because they plan to spend more time studying the loopholes in our rules.

But overall, this prisoner intake went much smoother than I expected, so I’ve decided to send the Bloodservants back to Fort Scarlet in batches starting this afternoon.

In accordance with the decision of the Administrative Division those soldiers who still have family members alive will be demobilized according to their wishes, and the homeless will all be broken up and assigned to collective farms, awaiting specific subsequent assignments.

As for the prisoners, I will send them directly to the Dark Barony, Adele has already sent someone to plan the location of a camp for them there, and many of your warriors are currently active there, so they can participate in the process of reforming these criminals as monitors or even administrators of their labor.

I will personally issue the relevant tasks to the warriors.”

“Very well, let’s move forward with your idea.”

Murphy took the roster with him and stood up, he said to Maxim:
“I came to Batasin City because I was worried that you would get your hands full the first time you did something like this, but so far it seems that you do have a great talent in uniting the army, and I can feel comfortable handing these over to you.

But this is only the first installment, the delivery of the prisoners from the Goldfinch Kingdom’s side will come soon, and you will still be in charge of receiving and settling them then.”

“Will not let you down, master.”

Maxim responded in a deep voice:
“Before the Black Plague arrives, you will surely have an army that dares to fight! However, if I may, I have a small request here as well.”

“Well, go ahead.”

Murphy looked at his loyal servant, then heard Maxim say with some embarrassment:
“The People’s Army is currently still very short of grassroots officers that can be used for great purposes, even if I distribute all the tested veterans it’s still not quite enough, and our army lacks unified rules and regulations, the laws that Miriam’s side has to be in charge of formulating are already tedious enough, so I’m really embarrassed to trouble her again.

But not too long ago, I found three among your warriors who are particularly proficient in this area, and from talking with them I learned that they were active soldiers in the Otherworld.

Therefore, what I am thinking of is …”

“Ah, I see what you mean.”

Murphy said with a sigh:
“There’s a bit of a problem with the identities of those three guys, and I won’t hide it from you, they’re actually intelligence gatherers sent into our side by a powerful sector of the other world.”

“This.”

Maxim’s face dramatically changed as he immediately replied:
“I will immediately revoke their military status in the People’s Army!”

“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant, you’re overreacting.”

Murphy rubbed his chin and said:

“I think they’re kinda good for it.

What I mean is that I’ll try to find you some people who can help you with the army regulations in the warrior recruitment afterward, a veteran like Happy Stick would be the perfect candidate, and you might be able to issue a relevant mission to him.

As long as the rewards are generous enough, he will find a way to find candidates for you.

You have to understand, Mark, that we are currently on a one-for-one relationship with the warriors of the other world, so we don’t have to think too much about certain factors in their world.

We are lacking in talent at the moment, so it is important to know what we are looking for, and soon there will be new warriors setting foot in Transylvania, and you can recruit some of them as additions to the People’s Army as well.

After all, their fearlessness of death is well suited to become the perfect raiders and scouts.”

“Well, I will carry out as you wish.”

Maxim nodded and fumbled for his notebook to record Murphy’s suggestion, while the Vampire Lord fumbled for his broken pocket watch to look at the time, he decided to return to the Scarlet Fortress to sit (yu) down (kuai) the big (mo) picture (yu).

However, before leaving, Murphy still reminded Maxim rather subtly:

“Mark, I know that you will always meet some like-minded friends on the road of chasing power, and I am also happy to see that you can find fellow travelers on this road, but you must think twice before making some important decisions.

Some people are really only fit to be friends”

“Huh?” Maxim looked confused.

He was a little confused as to what Lord Murphy was trying to say, and seeing how obtuse his number one loyal servant was, Murphy could only helplessly say it more bluntly:

“I’m talking about Laneia! She’s a Blood League Knight, do you know what that status represents?”

“I I’m just a normal friend with her!”

Maxim instantly turned red as he stubbornly explained:

“I’m just learning the battle style of a Bow Knight from her, and although I’ve traveled with her to the Andromeda Hills every night for the past period of time for a hunt, it was just a friendly sparring match between warriors.”

“Hmmmmmmmmm, I believe you guys are just ‘friendly sparring’.”

Murphy’s eyes looked oddly at the elf-style pendant hanging around Maxim’s neck, and following Murphy’s gaze, Maxim lowered his head to look at it, and his expression became even more pained, and a little more lustful:

“It’s just a gift! Yes, I had my birthday a few days ago to come, I don’t know why that woman gave me this pendant, maybe because I beat her?

It was only that one time though.”

“No need to explain, I get it, look what Tris put me through.”

Murphy shrugged and reached out to pat Maxim’s shoulder as he spoke softly:
“I just wanted to remind you out of the duty of a friend, Mark, Blood League Knights are not allowed to have a lover, that’s their tradition, and you need to think long and hard about this relationship.

We are the things of eternity.

We have endless time to spend on many things, but I don’t want to see you spend the rest of your life memorializing a woman you’ll never have.

Of course, if you’ve already made up your mind, I’ll help you think of a way, since it’s a rule then there must be a loophole to be exploited, and if it’s not possible, I’ll have Trixie step in and ask Venerable Lord Paying for a favor.”

“My lord, it really hasn’t come to that yet.”

Maxim also relaxed.

He whispered:

“It’s just a mutual admiration, that’s all. She admires my loyalty and toughness of mind, and I’m touched by her past stories, and underneath the Blood Knight exterior, Laneia is actually quite similar to Lord Kudel.

Becoming a vampire wasn’t even a result of their self-choice, while I was actively pursuing that life, and from that point alone, she and I are two worlds apart.

Of course, if you don’t agree with this relationship, I will immediately”

“I’m your honor, not your father!”

Murphy said, rolling his eyes:
“Who you make friends with is your business, don’t put the blame on me, it’s something you have to decide for yourself, Mark, you’ve accomplished the first of your life’s ambitions, maybe you should take some time to consider what exactly you’re going to do with your long into eternity.

I’m not going to give you any advice on that.

That’s all.

I’m going to head back, do you need me to bring a gift to Ms. Leonia for you?”

“No need, I haven’t figured out what to get her yet.”

Maxim sighed and watched as Lord Murphy wrapped himself in shadow and disappeared into the sunlight, he stood at the window holding the elven pendant hanging from his chest, his fingers gently caressing it eventually dissolving into a long sigh.

He could swing his sword fearlessly at any foe, nor did he fear a future where his loyalists fell in pools of blood.

But charging into battle on a battlefield where love was at stake was a first for him as well, and it was more difficult for him to convince himself to get closer to that lonely heart than it would be for him to kill a thousand enemies on the battlefield.

Yet you’d have to be unrealistic to say there’s no thought at all, nay, the world has never been gentle with vampires . —
“Crap! Where did you guys get so many people?”

At this moment, in the Moorland Village near the Scarlet Fortress, the administrative player who was following a few civil servants of the administrative office for “internship” heard the noisy sound and came out from the house to take a look, and saw a few smug little players bringing a large group of unkempt NPCs running to register.

As an administrative player, live whole quite good know that this is the current main task “hundred days big construction” in a ring, requiring small players in Transylvania search stragglers to send to the administrative office of a few receiving points in exchange for construction points as a reward.

But in the past few days are players to find sporadic stragglers to send, such as the immediate such a breath of hundreds of people to the scene is really rare.

He was quite surprised to take out his own record book and brought a few staff members forward to inquire, and in the face of the curiosity of the living whole quite well, just completed a quite successful stray people search, the border city prodigal son of the old brother said complacently:

“Aren’t these stragglers all over the place?
We can naturally find these homeless people just by walking around, so hurry up and register your points for a few of us, we’re still waiting to go to the special black market to exchange for something good.”

“I always feel that this is strange.”

Live whole quite good in reality at least is a big company manager, he will not be deceived by this kind of lie, so he commanded his side of a few staff went up to interrogate, the result after a few minutes he learned the origin of this group of homeless people.

“They are Avalon believers from the Cato region? How did you bring them here?”

Old Huo’s entire body was stunned when he learned the truth.

As an administrative player he knew the terrain around Transylvania very well, the Cato region was separated in the southwestern part of Transylvania by a Lake Thulpus as the border between the two regions, and it had been the territory of the Golden Sparrow Kingdom since a long time ago.

He pulled the Border City Prodigal to the side and asked in a low voice:

“You guys crossed the border and ran into the territory of the Golden Bird Flower Kingdom to engage in human trafficking? It’s not that I’m saying, man, this kind of behavior can easily trigger a border conflict, so you guys be careful not to get into trouble.”

“It’s not as scary as you think.”

Brother Prodigal Son bristled, thinking to himself, “How could I, a member of an official family, possibly do this kind of lawlessness, if I were discovered, I would definitely be given a major demerit.

However, he still patiently explained:
“We just crossed the border from the smuggler’s woodland that way, we didn’t even cross Lake Shulpeth, theoretically we’re still in the Transylvanian border area.

As for these people .
You also know that they are Avalon believers, ten years ago the old religion rebellion led to these poor bastards being ostracized in their own hometowns, they were unable to bear the humiliation and unwilling to give up their beliefs so they dragged their families and made a few villages near the border.

After we went over there, we didn’t bother to say anything, we just told them the news that the Avalon Church was rebuilding in Transylvania, and showed them the symbol of the church on the documents issued by the Adventurer’s Guild, and these guys took the initiative to request to follow us to Transylvania.

The Blood Claw Clan of the Smuggler’s Woodland is Lord Murphy’s jackal dogs, that Hogg doesn’t dare to hurt them, and this time and again, there aren’t more people?

And this is only the first batch, there are still more believers living on that border, this wave as long as it settles down, after that at least a few thousand people will come over.

I’ll give you this, this can all be the path that we as a team have discovered, so all these people are going to be counted in our construction points afterward!”

“Oh, there’s no problem with that, the orders from the administrative office are like this.”

Living whole quite well understanding the causes and consequences, and with odd eyes sweeping a few times towards those pimply-faced stragglers at the back, he whispered:

“It seems like there are various ways to complete this mainline task ah, you say, should I organize a slave catching team or something to take advantage of the chaos to make a profit?”

“Hey, it’s late, someone already did that.”

Prodigal Brother shook his head and said:

“A couple of our buddies who came into the game with us had some particularly wild ways and ran off to the East Prussian border the same day they took the mission, and I doubt you’ll be seeing them anytime soon. Those guys are P-Society war criminals, and slave catching teams like that are a breeze for them to do.”

“Crap! I’m just saying, I didn’t think someone would really dare to do that! This is really criminal.”
