Chapter 169: Roots
Life is always so complicated and hard, but since it is not the protagonist who has no luck to change his life, he can only slowly learn to adapt to the environment and continue to persevere.
But if you really want to get ahead, just rely on hard work and persistence...... Probably only in chicken soup.
After all, who doesn't want to work hard to go up, when everyone works hard and persists, the word effort becomes too cheap, and what everyone has naturally can't open up the gap.
Among the same group of SBCs, the Game Church and Luo Li are the fastest, and most of the churches that have been established for less than ten years are still fighting for the first permanent residence, the first believers and believers, and the first Adventist squad.
Not to mention meddling in a large gathering place, it is impossible to become a new god of the second or third level.
And the game church, in all aspects, is already the leader of the third-level church, at least it will not be weaker than the silver elf God of War church with a lot of history and heritage.
Of course, it's not weak, it's more about the comprehensive strength of the sphere of influence, property, industrial system, development prospects and other issues, but the game church still has one of the most obvious shortcomings.
"Our biggest problem is that compared to churches of the same size, the gap between our regular combat power and peak combat power is too big. β
In a routine internal meeting, Sunana, who is in charge of the military side, once again emphasized this long-standing problem.
"Although everyone says that the situation in Anthoreen is still relatively stable, and New Winteria City is still relatively united and stable, but the lion and rabbit are cleared in the same cage, and the lion does not eat the rabbit, most of the time just because the rabbit does not look good, and regards it as reserve food, once the rabbit really competes with him for something....... you think the lion will reason with you. β
No one really believes in the mercy of carnivores, and those naΓ―ve who thought there was Ash's Covenant of Thor did not know that they had died in that corner.
Yes, the same Ashites, with the common enemy of the evil gods, and the covenant signed on Ash's side, it is true that they cannot attack you in the open.
But what can you do when a group of "foreign bandits" suddenly attack you in the middle of the night, they push your church and kill your high class, and then turn your property into ruins with a single fire.
The environment before the game church was quite safe, in addition to its own strength was not bad, it was more that it was always within the safety line, and there was no self-determination to compete with the big church.
There are too many stories in the gutter, those new stars who are developing well but suddenly die overnight.
"Our regular combat force, apart from us Descenders, is only a few stowaways and natives, which, to be honest, is much worse than Thor's situation, much worse. β
Most of the stowaways come through the devil's channel, although the authority given by the devil is higher as the evaluation of the game church increases, but the problem of this kind of bought combat power is always not small, and many of them naturally have hidden dangers, except for a very few with amazing talents, which are basically used as transitional products by large churches.
The excessive use of stowaways is not a good thing, and after the situation stabilized, the game church, like other growing churches, began to recruit local talent and human resources extensively.
However, talents not only need to be cultivated by resources, but also need time to accumulate, and those who start from scratch and really polish them into front-line combat power, it also takes ten years of hard work to polish them.
"Oops, much worse. β
Sunana didn't say it very clearly, but everyone understood it in their hearts, and there were some things that couldn't be said clearly.
The first one is bad, probably talking about the reality of the lack of conventional combat power, and the second is bad, but it is inconvenient to export, the composition of the combat power is terrible - "We rely too much on the Holy Mountain faction. β
As I said earlier, it takes time for new combat power, most of the local warriors in Jiaocheng belong to Jiaocheng, and the other churches that have lost have also given better recruitment conditions, and the addition of the Holy Mountain faction is a life-saving tonic for the game church, but the game church is a little empty and cannot be replenished.
"There are a total of 156 professionals (or equivalent combat power) above the third order, 83 of whom are from the Holy Mountain Sect, 62 from the Fourth Order and above, and 30 from the Holy Mountain Sect. β
At the beginning, Martha was indeed very sincere, and the Holy Mountain faction took her clansmen and warriors to join the Game Church, and has come all the way to today.
After obtaining Ash's knowledge and magic technology, many people of the Holy Mountain have gone one step further, and their strength has entered a period of rapid development, making the game church happy and painful.
Although most of the people were reorganized, a fellow villager from the place of origin arrived, and naturally the so-called faction was formed.
And when this faction occupies more than half of the power, the right to speak is naturally heavy, and it can be said very bluntly that the power of the Holy Mountain faction has now surpassed Luo Li's original group of core adventers.
Although there is no problem now, it does not mean that there will be no problem in the future, but only in the concept of treating local residents, for example, there are some differences about values.
To take the simplest example, if there is a serious conflict between an Ash Church and the locals, the game church leaders will definitely think from the perspective of the Ash Church, and the Holy Mountain faction will most likely stand on the opposite side without hesitation.
If this kind of development continues, there is only one fuse, and it is easy to have big problems.
Even in order to "not have problems" in the future, it is necessary to expand the backbone force, thin the power of the Holy Mountain faction, and achieve the so-called internal balance.
When there are only two voices in an organization, conflict is difficult to avoid, even if both sides do not seem to be in conflict, and when there are dozens of voices within an organization, there is no so-called natural position, and the dialogue of the top forces will not seem so harsh and aggressive.
But the game church's manpower recruitment plan actually didn't work well.
There are too many reasons, the environment is not good, human resources are scarce, and the most important thing is that the game church does not have an advantage among the churches, and other churches can come up with better conditions.
These big churches, which have accumulated for many years, have accumulated a huge amount of knowledge, magic, and combat skills, and they have a lot of experience in cultivating warriors, and the resources they have come up with are not comparable to the game churches.
Even if they belong to small and medium-sized churches, those priesthoods such as war, pioneering, and watchmen can more or less provide some help to the soldiers under their command, and it is like a game church that focuses all its talents on logistics and entertainment.
".......But this time, we want to prove that even logistics and entertainment can produce great fighters. β
