Of course, the plan to go to the Diesel Company ruins and establish a new castle there again was all set for tomorrow.
And a portion of the soldiers would also be dispatched to go along.
After all, once the news of him going to the Diesel Company ruins to build a castle spread, Green Leaf Group should react very quickly.
After all, the Blue Star Humans of the Green Leaf Group also possessed strategic vision and would certainly understand his intentions.
If a conflict arose at that time, a portion of the soldiers would be able to defend the new castle, which would also prevent the Green Leaf Group from destroying his castle, as there was only one castle slot.
If it were truly destroyed, Shen Mu would definitely feel incredibly pained.
Moreover, the newly established castle would also need to have corresponding supplies transported to it. Conveniently, the Blue Star Humans usually had nothing to do; praying once a day was enough, and for the rest of the time, the Blue Star Humans were idly playing around, bored. Shen Mu also planned to mobilize these Blue Star Humans to transport goods for him.
Anyway, establishing the new castle at the Diesel Company ruins would quickly be discovered by others, and there was no need for concealment, unlike New Rivadin, which was his solid backing.
Furthermore, those Blue Star Humans were absolutely not allowed to approach it; it was a type of secret base.
Now, this new territory established by the Diesel Company no longer needed such secrecy.
After all, no matter what, a castle established there was to guard against the Undead Monsters from Long City, west of Bali River Street, or perhaps it also had the intention of guarding against the Green Leaf Group.
Everyone knew it well.
So, whether it was secret or not didn't matter. In fact, by not keeping it secret and directly building a castle, Shen Mu could display his powerful strength, deterring the Green Leaf Group and making them hesitant to act.
After all, for the forces that inherited power from the Spiritual Realm, being able to build a castle in such a short time was simply unimaginable.
In their eyes, it was impossible to successfully establish a castle in such a short period.
It must have been a castle directly summoned and descended from the Spiritual Realm.
And being able to descend a castle also indicated that this force possessed a lot of Faith Power and a lot of heritage, which is why it could successfully descend a castle. It also represented that the Human Race Empire behind him in the Spiritual Realm was indeed immensely wealthy.
A mere castle was not even in their eyes; it had already descended in the early stages and they were not afraid if it was destroyed.
After all, for the various forces in the Spiritual Realm today, they could only be forced to survive in their own plane fragments. If a building was damaged, there was no way to repair it. They could only be forced to use existing buildings or castle complexes for defense.
So, every use meant one less.
Such deliberate waste definitely indicated that they indeed had powerful backing.
Of course, Shen Mu's plan to depart for the Diesel Company ruins on the second day was also because he wanted to gather another wave of Faith Power.
After all, having those Blue Star Humans transport supplies and then directly summoning a castle in front of their eyes to crash onto the Diesel Company ruins.
For these Blue Star Humans, the visual impact would definitely be huge, the psychological impact strong enough, and the shock in their hearts sufficient to turn them all into more devout followers.
This would be a win-win situation.
“Someone, pass on my order. Tell them that tomorrow, I will conscript 10,000 Blue Star Humans to transport supplies for me to the Diesel Company ruins.” So, Shen Mu directly spoke to the attendants outside, instructing them to inform the middle-level managers of the Blue Star Humans.
Although the senior managers had all gone to level up, striving to turn the Swadian Commoners into Swadian Recruits as soon as possible, they were not in Deherim.
But Shen Mu was not anxious, because even in their absence, there were still the middle-level managers, and those middle-level managers would actually listen to his commands. After all, no matter what, he was the supreme lord of this territory and held the highest authority.
Those middle-level managers would be eager to curry favor with him; how could they possibly refuse his orders?
Especially since he held the power to confer upon them the title of Spiritual Realm Commander, those middle-level managers naturally wanted to quickly make a good impression on him and one day also be conferred as Spiritual Realm Commanders.
In this way, they simply could not resist Shen Mu's orders.
So, after Shen Mu's order was given, all the middle-level managers became agitated. One by one, they volunteered to come before Shen Mu, quickly identifying the Blue Star Humans who were close to them. Then, a list of a 10,000-strong Blue Star Human transport team appeared on Shen Mu's desk.
Ensuring that by tomorrow, Shen Mu could conscript these 10,000 Blue Star Humans as transporters to move all the necessary supplies into the new castle.
In reality, there weren't many supplies, just some food. And Shen Mu only intended to move food for 1,000 soldiers.
The reason for conscripting 10,000 Blue Star Humans was as mentioned before: he simply wanted them to know his strength, to know that he, as their lord, possessed a lot of heritage, and to witness the castle directly crashing into this Blue Star World.
The purpose was to ensure that the faith of these Blue Star Humans became deeper and deeper, and that they could provide more and more Faith Power.
It was that simple.
“Very good, you have done well. Now you may go. Especially you ten, tell Zhang Caidong that when the conferment ceremony takes place tomorrow, you will be the newest batch of Spiritual Realm Commanders.”
Shen Mu looked at the ten middle-level managers standing in a row before him and nodded with satisfaction. He did not stint on his praise and rewards, directly confirming with them that tomorrow would be their conferment.
“Thank you for your benevolence, Lord Shen Mu.” The faces of these ten middle-level managers were filled with wild joy at this moment.
The reason they were so responsible was to obtain a slot to become a Spiritual Realm Commander. They never expected that after achieving such a seemingly trivial small accomplishment, they would actually obtain the Spiritual Realm Commander slots.
After all, it was just obtaining a list, which was no problem for them. In fact, anyone could do such a small job. It was just that they usually already had those lists, already knew who belonged to their faction, so they united and submitted the list to Shen Mu together.
Of course, submitting such a list to Shen Mu also meant betraying their senior managers, their direct superiors. Especially when faced with the opportunity to become a Spiritual Realm Commander and a favored person in front of Shen Mu, they were willing to take such a risk.
They had already heard about the previous events.
Zhang Caidong and his sixteen senior managers became senior managers after Shen Mu established the new Human Race territory of Deherim because they were the first to provide help to Shen Mu at that time.
Now, if the hierarchy of Deherim had not yet solidified and the social strata had not stopped flowing, then why couldn't they, with Shen Mu's affirmation, grow into senior managers?
Humans are selfish, and they were no different.
Moreover, they had already done what they did. Even if the senior managers returned and saw their actions, they would only have to grudgingly agree. After all, if they became powerful, it would actually be a help to the senior managers, increasing their influence. If their small circle could eat more, other small circles would eat less. If their circle grew larger, it meant that their strength increased, and they would eat even more.
And when a small circle grows into a true circle, it is no longer centered on the founder of that small circle, but on the management of the small circle.
If the senior managers were very angry and rejected and ostracized these middle-level managers, it would also be a warning to other middle-level managers. After all, if the path to advancement was blocked, then they would have no hope in the future, and continuing to follow these senior managers would mean they had no future.
This small circle would also quickly break apart.
Therefore, the senior managers would acknowledge their actions, praise them, and even voluntarily submit their names to allow them to become the new batch of Spiritual Realm Commanders, to be conferred by Shen Mu.
This was human nature.
So, in the evening, the senior managers returned to Deherim. They did not camp outdoors, as after searching the residential buildings for Undead Monsters, they decided to return first for safety.
Upon their return, they heard the news and learned that their subordinate middle-level managers had spontaneously united and submitted a list to Shen Mu. They all looked at each other in dismay.
However, just as the middle-level managers had guessed, these senior managers could only grudgingly agree to the matter in the end.
Especially for Zhang Caidong, this incident made him somewhat angry.
So, Zhang Caidong summoned the other sixteen senior managers, as well as Sun Zhiru and his three companions, to his room.
Including Zhang Bo.
“Bo Ge, is there something you need?” Zhang Caidong saw Zhang Bo and asked very politely.
“Brother, this time it’s my fault. I didn’t tell you, but when those middle-level managers found me, I did provide them with some help.” Zhang Bo spoke then, a look of apology on his face.
