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.
