Chapter 189 - Chapter 189: Chapter 181: The Power of Faith (2/2)

Byrne was contemplating his thoughts alone. As for the other family members, they were either not in town or too young.

“Building an army is indeed a troublesome matter, but the Fischer family must have its own military force and further expand its armed strength,”

“We need large Arrays that the army can use, mobile barriers, and many weapons including cannons. The cavalry needs horses and ranches, and there are also specialized army camps, medical personnel, and medical equipment to be procured. Training grounds for new recruits, commanders skilled in military combat, instructors responsible for training soldiers, and ideally a munitions factory…”

“It’s not just about ordinary soldiers; we also need to increase the number of normal Extraordinary Exponents under our command. Nowadays, the Fischers have enough money and resources to do many things that were unimaginable in the past.”

Establishing a real army is like creating a mini society, and Byrne found that even writing it all down on a piece of paper would not be enough.”

Although the Fischer family’s current finances are sufficient to support a regular military force, it is still very troublesome and challenging.”

Byrne had decided to pull in a bunch of old classmates from the military academy, to join forces with some Daybreakers as the core backbone, and then build a professional army belonging to the Fischer family primarily from the population of Nasir Town and the surrounding four towns.

While the power of a Monarch powerful expert is beyond doubt, a strong professional military force is still very useful, especially in battles without Monarch powerful experts.

Even in battles involving Monarch powerful experts, due to the presence of collective spells, an army with enough morale and discipline can fully serve as “blood bags” for the Monarch powerful experts, which is much more effective than using ordinary people.

The Cyart King’s order for conscription had been issued nationwide, and the Fischer family must also contribute to the war.

However, on one hand, Darren Fischer had joined the Cyart Royal Army, and on the other, the Fischer family traditionally took charge of producing a large number of high-quality military supplies, making significant contributions, so the rest of the Fischer family were not forced to the front lines.

Although the Fischer family had not yet collectively gone to the front lines, attacking a neighboring country was a very big deal.

Furthermore, just beyond the northern forests of the East Coast Province lies Rhea, too close to the empire for comfort, so Byrne and the others must always be vigilant.

They had to be prepared for any possible surprise attacks from the Rhea army that the East Coast Province might face.

Finally, Chris and Vanessa returned to the family.

“Chris, Vanessa, you’re finally back. How did it go? Any progress?”

Byrne was very pleased, though he asked this way, deep down he already had a clear idea of the outcome.

The characters of Chris and Vanessa were such that they would not return to the family until the ritual was completed. Since they were willing to come back, it meant that they had successfully found the ritual, or even that they had completed the advancement ritual.

“Mhm.”

Chris nodded slightly without saying much.

Vanessa smiled, her face brimming with joy she couldn’t contain, and explained to Byrne:

“Regarding the direction of advancement on the Path of World Order, we have found two completely different methods.”

“The first is to strictly adhere to one’s inner principles in every action in life, and it takes a long time to take effect, with very slow progress…”

Vanessa paused for a moment, then continued:

“Then there is the second method. I discovered the true method of advancing to the 3rd Rank of the Path of World Order is to constrain others to adhere to one’s own thinking.”

“Ah?”

Byrne was startled, then slowly grasped Vanessa’s meaning.

Vanessa slowly raised her hand and concluded, “According to my principles, I passed judgment on quite a number of people and urged them to change according to my thinking, successfully completing the advancement ritual.”

“If it were Moore, he would probably assimilate a group of people to follow his gang’s order.”

So that was it. Byrne nodded calmly, noting the method of advancement to the 3rd Rank of the Path of World Order in his mind.

“Assimilate a certain number of others to act according to one’s principles and obtain sufficient feedback from it.”

He suddenly understood something.

Commonality!

“So that’s it, I understand now. The principle of most rituals for advancing to the 3rd Rank of the God Pantheon stairway is actually to influence others to obtain feedback!”

Thus, Byrne quickly brought Moore over, told him the method for the next step of advancement on the Path of World Order, and then sent out a letter to Irene, who was away.

He requested her to return from outside soon, to hold a sacrificial ritual to help Vanessa advance to the next level of the Path of World Order.
