"…Another one?"
"It's said because of the drastic increase in prival creatures around Lungn, the manpower from the Lungn Guard Bureau alone might be sowhat insufficient."
Looking at the report in hand, Hoshiguma scratched her scalp, looking sowhat strangely at Ch'en, who was sitting on the chair frowning.
"I don't understand these surrounding matters, Old Ch'en. But I feel like there are a few too many rcenary groups around Lungn, right? This month, we've already hired the seventh rcenary group. Although they all have clean records, we don't know what they're up to behind the scenes, do we?"
"There are indeed a few too many."
"And where did so many Originium creatures around Lungn co from?"
"…"
Looking at the departnt-wide notice docunts and routes in hand, Ch'en raised her eyebrows sowhat strangely.
To summarize, yesterday also saw two rcenary groups stationing around Lungn for different reasons. After the Originium attack incident on the official road to Chernobog, about three rcenary groups had already been mobilized here for road repair and monitoring work.
This, in essence, wasn't a big deal; for Lungn as a comrcial city, maintaining order in the surrounding areas was a more important task. Especially the coordination and operation with official roads. Areas that could beco a complete road generally required a lot of funds and manpower to maintain; hiring so rcenary groups for clearance work after discovering an Originium attack incident was also very normal. But how should I put it, the number of people really was a bit much.
Firstly, as a comrcial city, Lungn internally had the Lungn Guard Bureau and other comprehensive managent departnts for related handling. For the entangled gangs and various political forces within, as well as so claw from other countries, back during the turbulent period, Lungn managed by hiring so trustworthy rcenary teams with historical backgrounds to assist.
And now, although these rcenary teams, due to war, contract coordination, rotation, and other reasons, had beco the current seven, the total number of elite rcenary teams reaching one thousand still made the surrounding environnt exceptionally stable. Plus the Lungn Guard Bureau and other ard forces, overall, Lungn's public security was not a problem.
Coupled with the recent war turmoil and other reasons, Wei Yenwu once again issued an order, expanding the original seven long-term contract rcenary groups to ten, plus so short-term contract rcenary teams, the number of rcenary teams working near Lungn reached an unprecedented twenty-five.
This high-consumption, high-intensity managent policy even left the Lungn Guard Bureau with not much to do for a while.
Instead, the newly established Immortality Agency, due to drawing a lot of manpower from the Lungn Guard Bureau, proceeded exceptionally smoothly with its cleanup and investigation activities within Lungn. But no matter what, these rcenaries themselves were a huge security risk. The original one thousand two hundred people were manageable, but now the number of rcenaries had drastically increased to three thousand five hundred, and many more rcenaries were heading to Lungn to try and secure so contracts; this couldn't help but make Ch'en ponder the problems herein.
Three thousand five hundred people was no small number, plus they were strong rcenary teams; among themselves, due to having fought together before or also being desperadoes who licked blood from knife edges , they had a certain sense of identification. This security risk was not sothing Ch'en could ignore.
Whether from the perspective of the Immortality Agency or the Lungn Guard Bureau, this aspect couldn't be overlooked.
And Ch'en also noticed that so rcenary groups had even begun to interfere in original defense work. Although so orders had been given, the true attitude could not yet be determined.
Looking at the nurous items and rcenary-related information listed on the list, especially after seeing that the surrounding security clearance work was being handled by a Sarkaz rcenary group called 'Blood Rage', Ch'en's frown tightened further. She gestured to Hoshiguma beside her, and after Hoshiguma left, she took out her phone and pressed a series of secret numbers. After several transfers, Wei Yenwu's voice sounded from the phone.
"Encountered any trouble? Ch'en?"
"It's about the rcenary groups."
"It's fine, I personally gave the order."
Wei Yenwu's voice ca through the communication, speaking calmly:
"The Columbian civil war has officially begun, and it's spreading to the surrounding areas at a very terrifying speed. I need a batch of rcenaries to suppress those ill-intentioned people within the city. At the sa ti, with this layer of rcenary relationship, so things originally unsuitable for you to do can also be done. Comforting disaster victims, cleaning up rogue armies; not just us, other city-states will also act subsequently. We are just one step ahead. Nothing to make a fuss about."
"…"
"No need to be so nervous, nor too surprised. Now it's just returned to the original chaotic tis. The people from Blacksteel International are good targets to win over; as forr military mbers and rcenaries, even if they lack the desire to fight, they can maintain order. Work hard."
"Peace… When will it ever arrive?"
"Hahaha, that depends on how you think about it. In my eyes, this world has never been peaceful. Don't disappoint my expectations. Ch'en."
"Yes."
"…"
Looking at the disconnected signal in his hand, a strange smile appeared on Wei Yenwu's face.
And Lady Fumizuki behind him walked over holding a pile of docunts, tilting her head as she looked at the smiling Wei Yenwu.
"What's wrong? Encountered sothing good?"
"No, just a puppy that hasn't matured yet, still makes a fuss seeing these things. But being able to think is a good thing. No matter what, using one's brain is a good thing. Whether it's hatred, anger, or other emotions, none can compare to wisdom itself."
"Then, is the manpower still sufficient?"
"Manpower is never enough, Fumizuki. Especially now. Previous plans and situations have all collapsed with Columbia's civil war. Who could have thought such a powerful country would fall apart in the blink of an eye? From beginning to end, no plan is guaranteed. What is truly guaranteed is just one preparation after another. Whoever prepares sufficiently, is the victor."
"You're still the sa, still so charming."
Hearing his wife's sweet words, Wei Yenwu seed to want to laugh out loud, but still held back. Instead, he pretended to be nonchalant and shifted the topic in another direction.
"By the way, what about that Li Lin?"
"Already on the way to Kazimierz, with his friends. But really didn't see it coming, his circle of friends is quite wide."
"Abnormalities always attract more abnormalities, let him be."
Hearing his wife's report, Wei Yenwu quickly put this abnormality to the back of his mind and began planning his next trump card.
In the raging fire that burns everything, who would believe in so-called plans? All conspiracies and deals are built upon rules. And when the rules themselves are gone, when power has beco the pass to everything, then conspiracies and deals themselves will also be burned to ashes by the flas.
Wei Yenwu, having faced that war before, fundantally wouldn't believe in so-called stances and deals. Life and death, destruction and rebirth. If a conspiracy could have transcendent benefits and constraints, then it wouldn't be a conspiracy. And looking at the current situation, Wei Yenwu was very sure his little plans were aningless to this increasingly changing world. So he needed more power united around him.
Having been a leader for decades, so things will change.
"The investnt in the Immortality Agency, double it again."
Wei Yenwu signed his na on the docunt before him and said in a low voice:
"Pull the other families in too; if they're not stupid, they'll know what to do."
