Chapter 181 Reunion and Departure

"Insufficient manpower is indeed a big problem." Inside the temple, after communicating with Ye San, Su Xingyu couldn't help but feel a little headache.

He didn't expect that not long after that, the Eternal Night Empire, which had many elite talents, once again fell into the dilemma of shortage of people.

Now there are also only two choices before him, either lower external standards or cut internal development, but the problem is that Su Xingyu doesn't want to choose either.

The development of the empire must be put first and cannot be affected in any way. This is beyond doubt. After all, the Eternal Night Empire is His foundation, and its development is above all else.

However, the standards outside cannot be lowered. Su Xingyu is very clear that a country's credibility requires decades or even hundreds of years of persistence to build, but it can be completely destroyed by an insignificant little thing.

The rise of the Eternal Night Empire was filled with killing and blood, but there was one thing that was recognized by all the forces in the entire plane, and that was their commitment.

To be precise, it is a promise made to other forces. Over the past hundreds of years, their promises to the submissive forces have almost been fulfilled.

Even if it is about tearing up the agreement and invading the northern continent, if you really want to be serious, you can find evidence.

Therefore, even though the Hundred Nations Alliance has been criticizing the Eternal Night Empire, many of the bigwigs among them actually recognize the credibility of the Eternal Night Empire. Many of them have even decided that if they really cannot defeat it, they will surrender.

If they surrender, they can live a good life. According to the standards of the Eternal Night Empire, they can even start over again and fight for a future for their descendants just like their ancestors did.

Northern Continent, why do some countries choose to surrender without a fight?
Isn’t it because the promise of the Eternal Night Empire is trustworthy?
Those forces that surrendered and joined the Eternal Night Empire have been living well so far, and they are the best signs.

If possible, no one would surrender. After all, that would be like finding a father for oneself. But now there is no other way. The Eternal Night Army is coming and they cannot defeat them. The Alliance of Hundred Nations is unreliable. If they don't surrender, they can only wait for death.

In addition, the Eternal Night Empire had a good reputation, so they naturally chose the lesser of two evils and surrendered.

Therefore, it is not possible to lower the external standards.

It was fine before the occupation, but now that it has been occupied, we have to do what we promised back then. Otherwise, what will those forces that have already surrendered but not completely surrendered think?
If I can lower the standards today, I can kill them tomorrow!
"Why is there still a shortage of people even though so many colleges have been opened?" Su Xingyu thought of another question, which he really couldn't figure out.

Education has been universalized in the Eternal Night Empire today. Logically, there should be no shortage of elite talents. However, within just a few years of prosperity, there is a shortage of people again.

What a hell!
But if you think about it, it’s actually normal.

Education has become popularized, and more talents have been cultivated. However, for the Eternal Night Empire, what kind of people are considered talents?

This is a very simple question, but also a very strange one.

And it is the answer to this question that can explain why there is a shortage of talent in the Eternal Night Empire today.

The definition of talent is very simple. It usually refers to people who have certain professional knowledge, skills and abilities and can play an important role in a certain field or industry.

This is the general perception of talent.

But in this world, things are different. For the Eternal Night Empire and even other forces, the definition of talent is very simple. Those who have strong cultivation talents and can fight are talents.

The Eternal Night Empire did establish many academies and improve the education system, but these academies were generally prepared for the purpose of training combat talents.

Take the Eternal Night Empire for example. The empire's academies can be divided into two categories: military and liberal arts, of which military occupies more than 90% of the resources.

If the empire had not made special adjustments, the liberal arts would never have been able to develop.

This is normal, in a world with extraordinary powers, and in an empire with strong martial virtues and constant conquests across the world.

He was born with a good talent for cultivation. If he were a normal person, he would choose the martial arts subject.

In this regard, Su Xingyu has to take some blame, after all, it was he who improved the cultivation talents of the people of the empire.

The Eternal Night Empire does not lack capable fighters, but what it lacks is management talent who can govern a region.

"At first, I wanted to develop education so that they would not become reckless men who only knew how to fight. But now they have all become educated reckless men." Thinking of the original idea and looking at the actual situation, Su Xingyu was speechless.

Now the Eternal Night Empire can be said to have bound itself.

It might be a bit difficult to unbutton it.

It is definitely too late to temporarily expand education and train talents.

By the time they grow up, maybe the empire will have taken over the northern continent.

After a while, Su Xingyu sighed and said to himself: "It seems that I can only ask other people for help."

Since there are not enough people and there is no time to train them, there is only one way, which is to introduce new talents from outside.

He didn't, but his friends did.

Su Xingyu is not alone, he also has an organization and friends. If he doesn't have anyone on his own, he can borrow some from other players.

As for other players, are they willing to do so? Will the same situation happen to him, resulting in no talent to be loaned out?
Su Xingyu felt that the above situation was unlikely to occur.

As long as the item is in place, there is no way they will say no.

As for the lack of manpower and inability to loan out?
This is also impossible.

Under normal circumstances, as long as development is normal, there will be no shortage of management talents.

After all, while you are growing and developing, you are also cultivating talents.

Unlike cultivation, the ability of management can be improved by accumulating sutras.

For a force that develops normally, there is definitely a surplus of management talent.

The Eternal Night Empire's development was simply abnormal and it expanded too quickly, which led to a shortage of management talent. If other players developed normally, this situation would never occur.

Or to put it bluntly, their strength does not allow them to be in this situation.

The normal development path for players should be to develop and strengthen themselves, then expand their territory, operate and develop, and continue to expand when the territory is not enough.

This process repeats until the upper limit of development is reached.

How did Su Xingyu’s Eternal Night Empire develop?

They expanded their territory while operating it, and often they would expand new territory before they had completely digested the territory they had conquered the previous time.

Typical, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot.

The former development path is more stable.

After all, the player's clan growth coefficient is higher than that of the plane natives. Time is on their side. As time goes by, the strength gap between the two sides will only get bigger and bigger.

Later on, it may even be possible to defeat the enemy without fighting.

Without losing a single soldier, just flex your muscles, make your opponents feel desperate, and then swallow them up in a gentle way.

The latter development path is, to be honest, a bit risky.

The larger the territory, the more difficult it is to govern and the easier it is to invade.

He hasn't even managed the empire's homeland well, and yet he goes out to fight others thousands of miles away. If he's not careful, he could really fail.

However, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. It only takes a few decades to suppress these areas and they will be completely under control. By then, the territory of the entire empire will double.

……

Borrow talents or manage talents.

This matter is neither difficult nor easy.

There are many powerful players in Bloody Dawn, but not many of them meet the requirements.

Apart from anything else, the orc players can be directly excluded. It is better to expect a sow to climb a tree than to expect the orcs to be able to manage.

Even for the most strict and rule-abiding "martial artist", being able to manage his own power is already very impressive.

As for external support?

Forget it. Even if he is really willing to give it, Su Xingyu doesn't dare to accept it.

After excluding the orc players, there are not many who meet the requirements in Bloody Dawn.

After all, the Warrior, the Elephant Lord, the Storm, the Sea God and others can all be considered orc players. There are only ten people in total, and four of them were eliminated at once.

After that, Blood God and Glory can be directly excluded. Their strength is slightly weaker than his, but judging from the choices they made in the beginning, if nothing unexpected happens, they will also choose the path of rapid expansion.

Maybe because of their strength, they will not be short of people for the time being, but as long as they want to develop, the shortage of people is only a matter of time, so they cannot loan them out.

In this case, there are only three people to choose from: the black businessman, the teacher, and the pharmacist.

Well, actually there is no need to choose. There is a shortage of talent in the Eternal Night Empire, and Su Xingyu doesn’t mind having too many people.

So he contacted the three people directly and sent them the same message.

Soon there was a reply. After reading the message, Su Xingyu frowned slightly and touched his chin.

Bloody Dawn

[Glorious]: "Everyone, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Do you want to get together and exchange ideas?"

[Elephant Master]: "Get together, how can we get together? I miss you guys a lot, after all, we haven't seen each other for a while, but now there are no stable plane coordinates, and we are so far away, we can't fly over, right!?"

[Storm]: "If there was a party a while ago, I definitely wouldn't be able to go, but now that the situation has stabilized, it's possible. But how are we going to get there?"

[Pharmacist]: "It seems that there are no plane fragments in the medium realm. Even if there are, it is estimated that we can't be accommodated. At least we have to find a plane that can accommodate demigods."

[Blood God]: "@Guanghui, since you proposed the gathering, you should have already solved the location issue. Don't tell me that you just proposed it on impulse..."

[Glorious]: "Don't worry, since it's me who proposed it, I will definitely be responsible for it. The location has been chosen, and I will send you the coordinates later."

[Teacher]: "Do you want to get other people together, or just the ten of us?"

[Glorious]: "I think both are fine. You guys can make the decision."

[Blood God]: "Call them all over. It's a rare opportunity to get together. If there are too many people, any trouble will be easier to solve."

[Black Business]: "How about we do it in two parts? Let's gather the ten of us together once, then call them over and gather together for the second time. What do you think?"

【Teacher】: "This is a good suggestion. I agree."

[Storm]: “Agree.”

[Poseidon]: "I agree."

【Eternal Night】: "Either is fine."

……

……

[Glorious]: "Then it's settled. Let's set the time to two standard hours later."

Since the speed of time flow in each plane is different, we can only make appointments based on the time of the main world.

According to Su Xingyu's time ratio, two hours is more than seven hundred hours, which converted into days is one month.

Kind of outrageous.

Since arriving at the intermediate realm, time has become less and less valuable.

But one month was just right, leaving him enough time to arrange the situation in this plane.

……

The Kingdom of Saint-Saint-Antoni, with its capital at Bordeaux.

inner city.

Axel walked into the house with a smile on his face and a cheerful step. Four years had passed since he was rescued by Su Xingyu, and Axel had grown from a boy to a young man.

With the help of Su Xingyu, the Thor bloodline in Axe's body was fully awakened. After awakening the bloodline, Axe's talent for cultivation was exaggeratedly high.

In just four years, Axe had made rapid progress from an ordinary person to a sixth-level extraordinary warrior with a solid foundation and no superficiality in his realm.

"Brother Yu, I'm back." After living with Su Xingyu for four years, Ax, who was originally an orphan, had long regarded him as a relative, so his words and actions were no longer as restrained as before.

But the courtyard was very quiet today, without any sound. Axe felt a little strange. Under normal circumstances, Brother Yu should have slapped himself into the ground at this time.

"He's not at home, where did he go?"

Axel was a little puzzled. According to his understanding, Su Xingyu was not a person who liked to go out. Normally, he would rarely go out for a month.

Walk through the courtyard and come to the back house.

Suddenly a voice came from the side:
"You're back."

Axe was startled. He hadn't noticed anyone was there until the other person spoke.

Turning around, I saw Sebastian in a black suit, standing there with calm eyes and a solemn expression, as if he had been waiting for a while.

"Mr. Butler, don't you know that scaring others can kill them?" When Ax saw that it was Sebastian, he was immediately relieved and complained out loud.

"Sorry, I will pay attention next time... Also, I am not a human, I am a puppet. According to your classification, I should be considered an alchemical item." Sebastian replied.

"You are waiting for me here, do you have something to tell me? Also, where is Brother Yu? I called him just now, but he didn't respond. Did he go out?" Ax looked around and asked curiously.

"The master has left the Kingdom of Saint Saan. I am staying here because I have some things to tell you and to guide you in your future training."
