Chapter 171 Thoughts on the Camp
But soon, a smile appeared on Shen Mu's lips.
In the past, this was indeed an important tool and figure for the Diesel Company to seize opportunities from others.
But now.
That is, Shen Mu specially collected and distributed the spoils in a unified way so that the humans of Blue Star could enjoy life better in the future, to help them realize a better future!
"This is really great." Shen Mu's smile grew wider.
He then briefly chatted with Zhang Caidong and Zhang Bo in front of him, as well as the Blue Star humans who had been designated as senior management, and then waved his hand to let them leave the aristocratic mansion.
The current conversation is just to calm people's hearts and treat them as their own people among the humans of Blue Star, which can be regarded as a kind of encouragement and recognition to them.
But for these humans on Blue Star, each and every one of them is very grateful and thankful.
After all, they were just the most humble temporary workers before. Although they had some power under their command, they were still cannon fodder to the regular employees of the diesel company.
I simply look down on them.
So when these humans from Blue Star entered Shen Mu’s management system, they were like fish leaping over the dragon gate and were reborn into senior managers.
They still felt very grateful towards Shen Mu.
It is often those who have been promoted from the bottom by nobles that attach such importance to loyalty. This is of course what Shen Mu needs.
Then these Blue Star humans left.
Manid comes there.
When he passed by, he did not care about the respectful appearance of these Blue Star humans towards him. Instead, he took the initiative to come to Shen Mu and bowed respectfully to greet him: "Hello, Lord Shen Mu."
"Well, Manide, you're here." Shen Mu gestured to Manide to sit down, and said with satisfaction: "I saw the new buildings you planned these two days, and the Blue Star humans who have moved into the town area. You did a good job."
"This is what I should do." Manide's answer was quite sincere.
Although it is Zhang Caidong's job to coordinate the humans on Blue Star, Manide is actually in charge of the urban area.
Including how to allocate housing and daily meals for the Blue Star humans, these were all carefully analyzed by Manide, who then drew up a plan and handed it over to the Mount and Blade soldiers, and put Zhang Caidong in charge.
On the surface, Zhang Caidong is the manager of the urban area.
Responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of all human beings on Blue Planet.
But in reality, the person who really manages the situation is still the experienced businessman Manide, who is now the chief executive of the town area and the general manager of the castle area appointed by Shen Mu.
After all, no matter how suspicious Shen Mu is, he still needs to be more cautious in his heart when handing over power to Zhang Caidong and those humans on Blue Star.
Therefore, the Mount and Blade soldiers and generals, who were completely derived from the Mount and Blade system and rules, were specially placed by Shen Mu at key nodes.
For example, the right to approve and the right to allocate.
Zhang Caidong can submit the report.
Then his own Mounted and Bladed generals could also agree to approve the report based on it, which was considered as giving Zhang Caidong the right to distribute the materials in the report he approved.
However, once their Mounted and Blade generals do not allow the distribution of supplies, the Mounted and Blade soldiers guarding the granaries and warehouses will never let any Blue Star human approach their protection locations.
After all, controlling the granaries and warehouses means controlling the source of material distribution.
Even though Zhang Caidong has unlimited power, as long as Shen Mu gives an order, he can distribute the materials to everyone, but after cutting off the source, he will be helpless in the end.
This is also the reason why Shen Mu dared to delegate power to Zhang Caidong.
Again.
What Shen Mu truly trusts are his Mounted and Blade generals and soldiers. To the humans of Blue Star, they are just some vases that are held high and displayed outside.
It's all for the power of faith and for the display board that gives other humans on Blue Star the same development opportunities in their own new human territory!
So Shen Mu didn't listen carefully to Zhang Caidong's report. He just asked him to gather all the humans on Blue Star as soon as possible so that they could provide spiritual energy, which was the power of faith to him, as soon as possible.
This is crucial.
Now, Shen Mu listened carefully to Manide's report, especially the suggestions given by Manide on the subsequent construction and development of the town, and thought about it seriously.
Of course, these are also some of Manid’s personal opinions, and they are also quite consistent with Dehrim’s current plans.
Shen Mu didn't want to get involved.
I just gave Manid some small suggestions based on my experience in city construction on Earth, and let Manid arrange the rest on his own.
Shen Mu is now more concerned about military aspects.
After all, for him now, there are too many dangers and risks. If the military cannot keep up, then everything is empty talk.
While Shen Mu and Manide were communicating outside, the rest of his generals had gathered.
Of course, the first ones to come were James and Fatis.
Just now, because Fatis was still in charge of underwriting, he did not see Resarit and Bestur.
But when he patrolled around and happened to see James about to come over, he also came together. He had already heard from James about the coming of the two generals of the evil camp.
However, for Fatis, who was calm and composed, he did not say too much or show any disgust, but just chose to endure it silently.
Because this was Shen Mu's arrangement.
Fatis thought that he only needed to follow orders. After all, as a nobleman and a soldier, he only needed to obey.
"Lord Shen Mu."
"Lord Shen Mu."
Fatis and James saluted and greeted Shen Mu together.
"Yeah." Shen Mu nodded, and motioned for Fatis and James to come and sit down, and asked them to talk about their work in the past two days.
While communicating, of course, we were also waiting for Bandak, Resarit and Bestur to come back after visiting the castle area.
Because just now, Shen Mu had already arranged for the kitchen to prepare some delicious food as soon as possible to comfort their hungry stomachs which had been eating simple meals during the time they were away.
After all, Shen Muke could never get enough of the halfling delicacies.
In Shen Mu's opinion, these half-orc chefs are completely comparable to the master chefs on Earth in his previous life.
It is a pleasure to eat the food cooked by these halflings.
It's like spiritual comfort!
And soon.
Bandak had already taken Resarit and Bestur to visit the castle area and introduced the various fortifications in the castle area.
And various defense points.
Then he took the two of them back to the noble mansion again.
"Master Shen Mu, I have already shown Mr. Resarit and Mr. Bestur around the entire castle area, and have introduced to them the various fortifications and key points of defense within the castle area."
Bandak was the first to bow respectfully and greet, and then gave a report.
"Yeah, well done."
Shen Mu nodded at the same time and motioned for the three of them to come over and sit down together.
But now, on both sides of the long table, there are also two accountants clearly divided.
Previously, combat generals sat on the right side, while Manid and James, as non-war generals, sat on the right side.
Now, Fatis is the main one, sitting first on the right, followed by Bandak, James and Manid.
If Airen were still here, he would be sitting in front of Bandak, in the second seat.
Arranged according to rank and noble status.
It's a tacit understanding between them.
Sitting on the left side at this time was Resarit, and then Bestur.
After all, Resarit is an instructor, an all-round talent, and a noble of high status, so his status is indeed higher than Bestur, a noble of the Kugit Steppe Khanate.
But this also clearly lists the generals of the good camp and the generals of the evil camp.
This can also be regarded as their respective seating arrangements under Shen Mu.
Of course, these are all small details, and Shen Mu doesn't need to care about them at all. As long as they can arrange their own seats and find their own positions, that is a very good thing.
After all, he didn't want to get involved in these little things.
And soon, the halfling from the kitchen brought over the cooked food.
"Master Shen Mu, and all the masters, this is the lunch we carefully prepared." The halfling chefs also saluted respectfully and said, "I hope you will be satisfied with our cooking."
Then the halflings slowly retreated and returned to the kitchen.
"Wow, what a rich food." Just to the left of Shen Mu, Lesarit's eyes lit up slightly.
Even Bestul showed a surprised smile on his face.
It was the first time for both of them to taste food cooked by the Halflings, so they were quite surprised by the food that appeared on the tray on the table in front of them.
Because these foods are all delicious, the aroma released on the table in front of them makes their mouths fill with saliva.
This is really delicious.
Whether they smelled it or felt it in their hearts, they all felt for sure that these foods made them extremely happy.
Of course, at this time, for the four generals of the good camp, namely, Fatis, Bandak, James and Manide, the greedy look of the two of them really exposed their selfish qualities and made them feel more contemptuous.
After all, when facing delicious food, you must maintain your manners, otherwise you will be looked down upon.
This is the most basic manifestation of a person's character. In fact, it is also one of the reasons they find in their hearts to hate the generals of the evil camp.
As for Resarit and Bestur, they didn't care at all about how these kind-hearted guys looked at them.
They also admit that they are quite selfish.
Such delicious food is right here in front of you. If you don’t enjoy it, it would be like wasting all the food.
Of course, because Shen Mu was still here, Resarit and Bestur did not rush to pick up the knife and fork. Instead, they turned their heads to look at Shen Mu, waiting for the lord to speak before they could eat.
"Okay, let's eat." Shen Mu's mouth curled up slightly, showing his satisfaction with the two's performance. Then he stretched out his hand to signal everyone to start eating.
Because these foods are really delicious.
Right in front of Shen Mu, the food on everyone's tray was actually the same.
The main dish is the antelope meat, which is quite tender and stewed with a little honey, milk and water, with spices added, salty and slightly spicy as the base.
The toasted sliced white bread is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the crust is browned.
Serve with a side dish of boiled onions and carrots and cabbage.
Add fried eggs, dried meat and sausage.
Finally, everyone had a large glass of mead.
In addition, there is a large bowl of wheat porridge which is extremely thick and is cooked with wheat grains, and added with chopped vegetables, chopped salted fish and chopped antelope meat.
Certainly a pretty hearty lunch.
"Thank you for your hospitality." Resarit, Bestur and other generals bowed their heads to express their gratitude, and then began to eat the food in big bites, picking up the knives, forks and spoons in front of them.
However, Resarit and Best really didn't care about their image at this time. After taking the first bite, their eyes lit up slightly.
The crispy bread paired with the tender stewed antelope meat made them feel like they wanted to chew their tongues up and swallow them.
Although one of them is an aristocratic member from a ducal family in other regions.
One is a member of the tribal nobility from the Kugit grasslands.
They are all geniuses in their respective fields, and have enjoyed all kinds of delicious food and beautiful women, as well as a happy life.
When they first ate the food cooked by the halflings, a very famous chef race from the spirit world, they still felt astonished by the food cooked by this skillful spirit race.
"This is so delicious." Resarit and Bestur exclaimed and put down their knives and forks. They grabbed the bread with their hands and started to bite and chew it.
The only thing he was still holding was the spoon, and he was stuffing big mouthfuls of the stewed antelope meat that was so soft that it would fall apart with just a bite.
He poured the sticky antelope soup on the crispy bread to add more flavor, and stuffed the boiled onions next to it into his mouth in big mouthfuls, making a crunching sound as he ate.
"Eat slowly, there's still a lot in the kitchen." Shen Mu also tried to dissuade the two of them at this time. After all, the way they ate was not really good-looking.
"Of course, we understand." Resarit and Bestur finally swallowed all the food in their mouths, then picked up the mead beside them and swallowed it down the food in their throats into their stomachs in big gulps, then they let out a breath of satisfaction.
"I'm sorry, Lord Shen Mu. After the battles we've been having before, we always like to use food to relieve our depressed emotions."
Resarit also noticed that the generals of the good camp in front of him looked down on his eating habits just now.
But he didn't care about their looks at all.
Instead, he straightened his chest and boasted, "After all, although the food we eat in New Riwadin is rich, it is not as delicious as the food cooked by the spirit race called halflings that you, Lord Shen Mu, arranged for us to cook. If possible, I would like to be able to enjoy the delicious food provided by the halflings you arranged for us after every fierce battle under your command."
"That's right, Lord Shen Mu. The food cooked for us by these halflings you arranged is one of the reasons why I am willing to die for you." Lian Bestul straightened his chest and spoke.
This is like expressing loyalty, which is also equivalent to flattery.
Normally, the generals of the good camp would not say such corny words casually. When they did say them, they would be quite orthodox words of loyalty.
This kind of flattering words are indeed quite suitable for those generals in the evil camp who have experienced the ways of the world, gone through many tests and setbacks in reality, and have become completely realistic.
After all, people need to be more realistic, otherwise reality will teach you a lesson.
"Hahahaha." Shen Mu was indeed quite comfortable with these flattering words, and nodded and said: "Of course, as long as you work hard for me, you will always be able to enjoy the delicious food provided by these agents."
At the same time, he also noticed that the faces of those in the kind camp changed a little. They didn't expect that these two guys could say such disgusting words, and he felt quite complicated.
He also comforted them, "No matter what, you have come under my command, so I hope you can unite and fight against those horrible monsters together instead of fighting among yourselves here."
This is also a reminder.
"Of course, Lord Shen Mu, we will unite and fight against foreign enemies together."
At this time, whether they were from the good camp or the evil camp, these generals all gave unified responses and expressed their attitudes.
After all, that's the reality.
If they cannot unite well, encountering undead monsters, abyss monsters or hell monsters will be a threat to their lives.
After all, to those monsters, they are all the same kind of people, all human beings, and all need to be killed.
The enemy has already seen himself as an object to be slaughtered.
And he is still fighting among himself.
That would be a very stupid behavior. They are the smartest of the smart, regardless of whether it is a naive ideal or a dirty reality.
Now everyone is united around Shen Mu to resist the monsters from the other world.
To prevent his world from being completely destroyed.
It’s a noble act.
No matter what shortcomings they each have, as long as they can turn this noble act into a happy ending, that is enough.
This is also the reason why when they heard Shen Mu’s words that he needed them to unite, they responded so affirmatively and quite confidently.
"Very good, I hope you can keep it up." Shen Mu was quite satisfied with their answer.
After all, before he came back, he was worried that the generals of the good camp would not accept the generals of the evil camp.
The generals of the two camps will also become hostile due to their respective positions.
It would be even worse if internal strife broke out.
But it seems okay now.
When it comes to big things, the generals of these two camps are still clear-headed.
After all, in the game, the coaches of these two camps are really incompatible. Once they get together, after a few quarrels, some generals will definitely leave the team.
It can even be said that as long as all these generals are gathered together, quarrels will occur every moment and every day, and extreme situations will occur due to previous conflicts.
This is of course a kind of fun in the game, and it is also a way to increase the gameplay and business options.
After all, players also need to join one of the camps to increase playability.
But in this reality, this playability can't be taken seriously.
Of course, Shen Mu is also quite satisfied now. Although they also have the mood to quarrel, but because of the appearance of other worlds and monsters, they are able to restrain their quarrels.
After all, they have a common enemy and a common high pressure to spur them on, forcing them to unite.
This is really good.
"But if we talk about the camps, these generals from the good camp and the evil camp seem to have a common characteristic."
At this moment, an idea suddenly came to Shen Mu's mind.
He frowned.
He looked at these generals, and suddenly a word popped up in his mind: "My coaches seem to think that regardless of the kind lineup, their character and personal behavior still have something in common."
There was a slight pause in his tone.
Shen Mu seemed to be thinking: "Order."
Yes, that’s the word.
Lawful!
It's just that their vocabulary belongs to lawful good and lawful evil.
They all belong to the lawful camp.
Respect order.
"I remember Elder Pero said that before." Shen Mu also remembered some of the words that the half-orc elder Pero had said before.
"In my understanding, there are two camps: the lawful camp and the chaotic camp. To some extent, the division between these two camps is more intense than the background conflict between good and evil."
At this time, Shen Mu also thought of the two races: the Abyss Demons and the Hell Devils.
The Abyss Demon is an absolute chaotic evil.
The devils of Hell are lawful evil.
Even though they have now tacitly cooperated and are invading the Blue Star world together, they will still fight fiercely when they meet.
They will never let each other go.
"Camp?" Shen Mu's eyes became more thoughtful at this time: "It seems that this is related to the distribution of major forces in the spiritual world."
