Because Charles Gardner, the Young Master of the Tianyi Sect, was present, the Tianyi Sect no longer called for Yusuf Zuck’s demise in Wulong City, and both Yusuf Zuck and Parker Berger entered a rapid development phase. Three days later, the defense formation of Wulong City was completed. In Parker Berger’s words, this was the National Protection Array. Meanwhile, the renovation of the City Lord’s Mansion was also basically finished. Whether it was Yusuf Zuck, Parker Berger, or the others like Dante Stewart, who among them was not a supreme figure? Although they couldn’t conjure things out of thin air, renovating a mansion was no problem for them. So, in just three days, a magnificent palace of the Jake King was built, and Yusuf Zuck held the first meeting of his grassroots organization! The reason it was called a grassroots organization was that the Longevity Empire had not been recognized by anyone, and the outside world was even unaware. Calling it a bandit den of Long Emperor would be more accurate; they were not yet worthy of the term ’Empire’. However, the grassroots organization still looked somewhat authentic. The founding emperor of the Longevity Empire was Yusuf Zuck; the chief minister was Parker Berger, with Dante Stewart as the literary minister and Bjon Dickson as the martial minister. This Bjon Dickson was also decided by Parker Berger in the past few days. He was a hooligan from Wulong City, a leader of various groups, and had connections with some dignitaries. He had lofty ambitions and underground networks, was shrewd and resourceful, yet not lacking in cultivation level. Although he had no sect or clan affiliation, he possessed a top-notch primordial realm cultivation, just half a step away from the state of a Tao Lord. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel_fіre.net Of course, the Top Primordial Realm might not be considered a big figure anymore, but war does not rely on individual cultivation; it relies on the team’s combat strength, the leader’s strategy, and the ability to lead troops. The saying goes that a soldier’s strength depends on the commander. As long as a roaring commander can be found, the soldiers under them will undoubtedly have astounding combat power! Yusuf Zuck was also very satisfied with Bjon Dickson because he had an unyielding spirit that obeyed neither heaven nor earth. Such a person was proud and unruly but also a talent that could be used, which is why he ordered that the Five Poisons and the Six Slaves must listen to him! The Five Poisons, naturally, were five monstrous beings, while the Six Slaves were likewise six Heaven Realm Daoist experts from the Tianyi Sect. Moreover, in a short span of three days, Parker Berger integrated all clans, sects, and even unaffiliated individuals within the city into one area, which was now transformed into a military camp. Due to the vastness of Wulong City and its many sects, when everyone was suddenly gathered together, it was a simple ocean of people! Of course, this was just the beginning of gathering together, and the various figures from each clan and sect were originally sons of heaven or self-important cultivators, so when suddenly asked to become soldiers risking their lives, they were all resistant! But one comforting point was that the leaders of these clans and sects were all loyal and conscientious, so at least there was no immediate chaos because, after all, everyone had to listen to their clan leaders or sect masters; who dared to act out? "Reporting to the King, the military camp in the East City is too chaotic, and there’s a risk of a mutiny at any time!" "Reporting to the King, my sect, although fully enlisted, suspects I am being controlled and is conspiring to escape!" "Reporting to the King, my faction is in panic, accustomed to freedom and irresponsibility, not fit to be soldiers!" "Reporting to the King..." "Reporting to the King..." Yusuf Zuck sat on the throne, his head buzzing. For crying out loud, being an emperor was so troublesome from day one; how could he possibly manage in the future? "Reporting to the King, Chancellor Zhou seems to overstep, issuing random decrees. Please, Your Majesty, scrutinize carefully and do not grant too much power to prevent future issues!" The great hall was in chaos, with various reports, and Yusuf Zuck was at a loss, unsure what to do. Moreover, he somewhat regretted it. Being an emperor wasn’t as simple as just saying it; not anyone could do it. He even suddenly realized that once you became an emperor, you had to be patient, kind, and have various kinds of heart; otherwise, you really couldn’t be an emperor! And Parker Berger seemed indifferent to other people’s reports, not even speaking for himself, nor did he report any matters. He was also testing Yusuf Zuck, after all, Yusuf Zuck was the king; if he couldn’t handle these trivial matters today, how could he manage state affairs later? "The censorate is led by Charles Gardner. Parker Berger, handle the East City military camp affairs immediately, without error. The Empire has just been established; I hope everyone works with one heart..." After saying a few words, Yusuf Zuck dismissed the assembly, but he kept Parker Berger behind. "Your Majesty, we must implement an incentive policy next, and also when issuing the incentive policy, we must immediately expand. As long as everyone is engaged in combat and governed by the incentive policy, over time, order will form. Otherwise, effective integration cannot occur!" "How to incentivize?" Yusuf Zuck asked in return. "For us cultivators, the focus is on cultivation level. However, if we guide them toward the path of power and nobility, it can still be decisive. So, at the time, as long as rewards are given based on the number of enemies killed or various merits—first rewarding cultivation level, second rewarding official ranks—they will serve loyally. After all, wealth and honor do not conflict with powerful cultivation." "Then how can I make them powerful?" Yusuf Zuck was annoyed; he really didn’t know what to do. "It’s simple," Parker Berger said lightly. "Referencing the operation mechanism of various sects, we must establish our own Alchemy College in the Longevity Empire to widely attract alchemy geniuses and form a gigantic alchemy system. At that time, anyone with merits can be rewarded with elixirs that allow them to advance their cultivation!" "Although elixirs do not work on the state of a Tao Lord, they do have a significant effect on the Top Primordial Realm, the Heaven Realm, etc.!" "So, the establishment of the Alchemy College is necessary." "But where can I go to attract alchemical geniuses, and isn’t it hard to find an Alchemy Master? Moreover, will they be willing to work for me?" Yusuf Zuck said, distressed. "First, gather the alchemists from all clans and sects in the city to form the prototype of the Alchemy College, then go to the Tianyi Sect to lure their nine great alchemists. Of course, how to attract them is up to you, Your Majesty; I cannot help in that regard!" "Alright, let’s do it your way!" "Furthermore, tomorrow I want Bjon Dickson to lead all troops and attack, not leaving anyone in the city, and divide the troops into three routes. In the shortest time, with lightning speed, capture ’Expansion City’ in the east, ’Endless Grinding City’ in the south, and ’Lower Three Miles City’ in the west. The Tianyi Sect has not stopped us yet, so seizing these three cities is not difficult. After capturing these three cities, Your Majesty, you must reward according to merit and appoint three new City Lords and allow all participating soldiers to divide and loot the resources in the captured cities. You know, these three cities also have many large families and countless cultivation resources. As long as they are sent in to rob, and especially if it is collective robbery, they will like it!" "In the Mortal World, such a policy is called the tiger-and-wolf strategy, and the trained soldiers will become tiger-and-wolf soldiers in the future. Of course, once the empire is fully established, they may pose a threat because they might revolt at any time!" "However, at this stage, we can only implement this tiger-and-wolf strategy, sending them collectively to kill and rob. This way, our territory will expand, and we can stabilize our rear to establish a true kingdom!" "To put it bluntly, this kind of policy is also a bandit strategy, with you, the big bandit chief, integrating many little bandits, then sending them to conquer territories and steal, since these little bandits come from all over. Alone, they don’t have such courage, but when they are together, their courage will grow, and then they will come to method of resource-grabbing. When they face danger, they will also remember that at the big rear, there’s still an invincible big bandit backing them up, so they will act even more recklessly, therefore forming the tiger-and-wolf army!"
