Chapter 437: Devil-suppressing Division
Although Ye Qiu was excited, he was still calm. He shook his head and refused, “Brother Li, I’m not good at fighting and killing, but I’m confident in Feng Shui arrays and Qimen Dunjia Skills. I’m also not good at making plans, managing internal affairs, or commanding the army.”
“Brother Fu and Brother Bu should be better at this than me.”
Li Xiang shook his head and smiled. He knew that the three of them had misunderstood him. “Brothers, I’m not asking you to lead the army to war. That’s the responsibility of a general. It’s not okay for a layman to lead an expert! However, each profession has its specialty. The three of you also have your specialty, right?”
At this point, he paused and said, “I’m planning to set up a Devil-suppressing Division!”
“Devil-suppressing Division?”
Hearing this name, the three people’s eyes lit up.
“What is the Devil-suppressing Division?”
“The Devil-suppressing Division is set up specifically for itinerant cultivation powerhouses like the three of you. After all, most itinerant cultivators don’t want to be restrained, but they also have extraordinary strength. It’s a waste for the kingdom. Thus, I establish the Devil-suppressing Division to specially recruit strong people. They can just cultivate in the division without any restrictions. Their only duty is to protect the Kingdom of Dawn and suppress demons, foreign races, and fierce beasts. This department will be under my direct control! How is it?”
Li Xiang had planned to establish the Devil-suppressing Division long ago, but there were not many powerful itinerant cultivators in the territory, and the strength of the newly-started human cultivators was not enough. Thus he had not implemented it.
This time, since he had met Ye Qiu and the others, they could be a foundation to establish the Devil-suppressing Division.
Moreover, there were at least a hundred strong itinerant cultivators who followed Li Xiang into the Kingdom of Dawn. Some powerhouses entered the kingdom through other means. They were all attracted to the kingdom due to the recent events in the divine tomb.
Most of these people had extraordinary strength, but they were not willing to be restrained and controlled. It was a good time to establish the Devil-suppressing Division to make the best use of the resources and talents.
Besides, the Kingdom of Dawn was expanding in size and population. Many things couldn’t be handled by the army directly as it would be too much of a burden.
After all, most of the time, the crisis was just caused by one or two ferocious beasts or demons breeding in the wilderness. Sending troops over was a great waste of resources.
If the Devil-suppressing Division was established, then they could post missions in the division and let these itinerant cultivation powerhouses complete the missions according to their will. Then, they could use the points obtained from the missions to exchange for cultivation resources. This would be a win-win situation.
“Tsk tsk, this sounds pretty good. It’s similar to the imperial court officials in my previous life. ”
Li Xiang said with a smile, “It looks similar, but perhaps it’s freer. I would convert the information I collected into tasks and mark them with points. Those who joined the Devil-suppressing Division could take on relevant tasks according to their actual situation. After obtaining points, they could exchange them for the treasures and resources they wanted. To be honest, although the Kingdom of Dawn has only been established for a short time, it has accumulated a lot of resources and treasures. You won’t be disappointed!”
Ye Qiu and the other two were immediately moved.
“This is indeed very interesting. It just so happens that I don’t have anywhere to go. Even if Brother Li didn’t say so, I wouldn’t have planned on leaving. Now that there’s such a good place, it’s the perfect time to show off what I’m good at!”
Since there was no pressure of control in the Devil-suppressing Division and he was free to do whatever he wanted, he was willing to join, even if it was to maintain the prosperity of the kingdom and to ensure the happiness of more humans.
“Yes! I’m in!”
Fu Mingxue said indifferently.
“Alright!” Bu Qingyun nodded.
“Everybody in the Devil-suppressing Division will be given a salary every month, and it’s in Star Coins. Every month, apart from a fixed task, you are free to arrange the rest of the time. Fixed missions are usually once a month, and you’ll get points after completing them. You can use your points to exchange for cultivation methods and martial skills to enter the Scripture Library, and you can also exchange for treasures and resources in the treasure court. It’s all up to you to decide.”
Li Xiang had a lot of rare treasures in his hands. After so many wars and killing countless powerful enemies, he didn’t know how many rare treasures he had exactly. He only knew some of the more important ones.
For example, he had a rare treasure in his hands now, called the Devil-suppressing Division. it was a rare treasure building with extremely powerful functions.
If he could integrate it into the City of Dawn, it could connect to the Star Web immediately and develop all the functions.
After Li Xiang finished speaking, he waved his hand. A miniature version of a rare treasure-type building appeared in his hand.
This was a palace-like building that looked ancient and majestic with a hint of killing intent. There was a plaque above the main hall’s door with three ancient seal characters “Devil-suppressing Division” written on it.
“This Devil-suppressing Division is a treasure. Good lord! This is a rare treasure! ”
To itinerant cultivators, any rare treasure was an extraordinary treasure. However, rare treasures were nothing to a ruler of a country with a population of 400 million.
Ye Qiu had been to the Scripture Library before, but he couldn’t enter to see what was inside because he only had a temporary identity card. All he knew was that the Scripture Library was a top-rank rare treasure. Not only the City of Dawn but there were also projection buildings in other cities that could be directly connected to the one in the City of Dawn.
When he saw another rare treasure building, his eyes immediately lit up.
“Since we’ve finished our discussion, let’s go outside and find a place to set up the Devil-suppressing Division building,” Li Xiang said as he stood up.
Then he walked outside.
Ye Qiu and the other two looked at each other and immediately followed.
“Hey, look! Isn’t that the lord? What is His Majesty doing at the square?”
There was a huge square in front of Li Xiang’s palace. Other than three wide streets, most of the square was empty.
Many businesses wanted to open a shop here, but Li Xiang rejected them.
How could the square in front of the palace of the Lord of Dawn be turned into a market? Even Yang Mi and the others were very supportive of his decision.
“It’s indeed the lord. Yang Mi and Chen Shu are also following him. I heard that the lord has five concubines and Yang Mi is the empress. Could it be that they’re going out to play?”
“It doesn’t seem so! With the lord’s mood, he would change his appearance and not reveal his true face when His Majesty goes out. Otherwise, how could there be any fun in shopping? They’ll be surrounded wherever they go.”
“Hey, look! Isn’t the lord holding a building rare treasure? I remember that the Scripture Library was a building of rare treasures. I witnessed its placement. It was truly spectacular!”
