Chapter 976: Chapter 212: Reform of Organizational Structure
The Third Ranger Hero of the Dusty Six Knights, Insider Jin, raised his binoculars, observing the distant Protector Base.
“The Dusty Six Knights 291” is the na of the group, a fixed combination he ford with his comrades after leaving his own sect to act independently as a hero. This combination often features complentary specialties and clearly defined tactical roles, making it much stronger than fighting alone.
Among them, “Dusty Six Knights” was the original group na. When the first four of them acted together, they succeeded in an assassination and were pursued by the Protectors, finally escaping thanks to a sandstorm. At that ti, the leader carried the severely injured Lower Body of Three, Insider Jin, gazing at the windswept sand, and conceived the idea of forming a fixed combination.
“291” signifies the group’s participation in a grand event hosted by a local Martial Chief. Different hero tactical squads and key figures from various sects collaborated in battle. “291” was the group’s number at that ti.
According to hero tradition, the number of such a grand event hosted by a local Martial Chief can be retained in the group’s na.
Such conversations are common within the hero circle.
“Which ‘304’ is this?”
“Don’t you know? The one from a few years ago during the assault on such-and-such base, when we fought with the army?”
“Oh? Was it that battle? To win on such a battlefield? My respect…”
However, as ti moves forward, hero groups retain “only the one they consider most significant.” This usually includes, but is not limited to, “the first ti after forming the group,” “the most successful one,” or “the one where a good comrade sacrificed,” all of which are worth rembering.
This is a culture among heroes.
This culture can be traced back to the era of the Fourth Martial God. Before the Fourth Martial God, heroes did not form sects, and “fixed combinations” were not specially nad. According to the most classical tactics of that era, heroes would contact only their close comrades in advance, and only before making their move would they release ssages to inform nearby heroes to intercept the support forces of the governnt troops, and this interception was arranged by the other heroes themselves.
In an era where official organizations were dense, and most battles took place in dense cities, such tactics were quite reliable.
But in the era of the Fourth Martial God, the situation was quite different. Therefore, the Fourth Martial God called upon all heroes to change the organization form of the Chivalrous Power to counter the new reactionary force of the Protectors.
If a hero had fallen into a coma due to brain injury two hundred years ago and only recently awoke, he might exclaim, “Nowadays, heroes have sects? Really, how the tis have changed,” but this was the viable path heroes explored.
Recently, so fad heroes in martial arts history have referred to the era from the start of the Chivalric War to before the Fourth Martial God as the “Ranger Era,” because at that ti, heroes did not have organizations like sects, and were only loosely organized through titular master-disciple inheritance.
However, this view is not widely accepted. Many believe that heroes in the era of the Martial Ancestor were already organized in early fleets and cannot be simply sumd up with the term “Ranger.”
But after the Fourth Martial God, chivalry also entered the era of “sects.”
According to the Fourth Martial God’s vision, the most fundantal unit for heroes was the “community.” The “sect” ford by Rangers or the “community” of Burrow Dragons were organizational forms adapting to their main activities.
The Fourth Martial God adopted the thod taken from martial arts illusions by the Martial Ancestor, naming the new organizational structure in the form of martial arts novels.
However, the new-style sects also differed from the traditional organizational form of the “Way-eting Sect.” It is specifically noted that this type of organization could only appear in the era of the Benchmark Man, where everyone had no worries about food and drink, different from the vibrant civilian groups of the Homo sapiens era.
The prerequisite for a sect is an “concealed base,” either underground or underwater, which must be sufficiently hidden. Then, the main role of the sect is to “train newcors” and “study martial arts and tactics.”
Typically, a sect would establish roles such as “Power Transfer” responsible for teaching internal and external martial studies, “Law Transmitter” responsible for recounting history and chivalrous spirit, and “Elder” in charge of specific managent and logistics, pure research and battle posts held by the “Supre Senior,” and a Sect Leader overseeing everything.
However, most sects won’t distinguish these roles as elaborately. One elder may hold several posts.
The main duty of the sect is to study the path of assassination while nurturing newcors.
When a newcor reaches their first bottleneck, they will be led by an elder or a more advanced brother or sister to engage in several actual combats. After passing the initial “internship” period, this newcor can finally venture into Jianghu independently. They will often embark on Jianghu along with two or three partners from the sa or nearby sects.
The next stage is to “form a fixed combination.”
The purpose of the “fixed combination” organizational form is to unite heroes who are not from any sect, ensuring internal knowledge exchange among heroes.
Due to the idea proposed by Martial Ancestor Xiang Shan of “blockchain-storing martial arts data,” civilian heroes without sect roots, and even without any master-disciple heritage, erged in droves. So martial gods with true personality masks even originated from those grassroots.
These individuals, if lucky, would learn how to hide themselves altogether. Those less fortunate would…
And should these individuals unite, they would form a formidable force.
Consequently, the organizational form of “fixed combination” erged as well.
And upon reaching the next “bottleneck period,” where rely fighting could no longer improve oneself, heroes would return to their sects to beco an elder, waiting while teaching disciples and studying martial skills.
At this stage, heroes usually dedicate several months or even a year to assassinate so “hard targets.”
Of course, during the actual process, many young heroes would “donate their entire comrade team during a joint act of heroism and return to the sect with PTSD, with their minds and bodies utterly exhausted,” to heal their inner demons.
Many more heroes fell at this stage.
In the Fourth Martial God’s vision, there should have been a “Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch” above the sects to coordinate sects. However, it was later found that such a degree of change was too great, and the organizational structure of a “Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch” was incompatible with the fundantal unlimited guerrilla warfare of the Path of Chivalry.
Instead, it was replaced by local “Martial Chiefs” to coordinate the sects and organize large chivalric activities as interdiaries.
Heroes found suitable forms themselves in practice.
And now, the Third Ranger Hero of the Dusty Six Knights 291, Insider Jin, received a commission from the African Martial Chief.
