"Seventy percent of the kingdom of Protin is mountainous, with scarce resources, a small population, and low productivity......"

"That's right."

"In addition, we have borders with three countries. If this continues, our kingdom will be in jeopardy once the period of protection promised by the Empire ends. In the past, there was a slight peace by offering to the Virbon everywhere, and I don't think His Majesty would want to do that now, right? ”

"So, we need elites."

Chen Xing said while looking at the defense plan.

"Yes, Your Majesty. You should know that in any field, you have to compete on quality rather than quantity. For example, in terms of economy, the cultivation of spices or expensive luxury goods or industrial products has an advantage over ordinary agriculture. ”

"Hmm."

"Labor shortages are a reality we face due to a small population. Therefore, it is advisable to actively coordinate with different ethnic groups to supplement our workforce, and to establish specialized schools in each town and city to train professionals in various fields. ”

Michael explained everything clearly in one go, and Chen Xing agreed with Michael's statement very much.

Chen Xing really thinks that Michael is too suitable to work under his own hands.

It seems to understand why the Ozrick church did not even let go of this 15-year-old child.

But Michael's strategy and all the plans will take time, and there will be a lot of money, and I am afraid that with the financial resources of the Protin Kingdom now, it will not be fully realized.

But if you follow the plan step by step, it will be achieved sooner or later.

"At the moment, national defense should come first. It is necessary to use the limited financial resources to the best of the knife and form an elite team to form a strong national defense force, which is the way for our country to survive at present. ”

"Do you want to recruit adventurers?"

Michael looked at Chen Xing and continued.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Adventurers are the greatest human resources of the moment. They are immortal, able to grow quickly, and are virtually immortal. An almost limitless resource. ”

"Recruiting adventurers......

Chen Xing muttered.

"Your Majesty, we must recruit magicians, elemental mages, summoners, etc., adventurers of all professions, of course, the premise must be elite, because the Kingdom of Protin does not raise idlers."

"Adventurer elites of the same profession can form a legion, right?"

Chen Xing suddenly understood what Michael meant.

"That's your majesty."

Michael nodded.

"An army of elite adventurers of dozens or hundreds of people can stop thousands of troops, and if such people can be gathered, no one can underestimate our national defense strength."

"Ahh

Hearing Michael's words, Chen Xing couldn't help but admire.

If this is the case, it is possible to gather the strength of a legion, and an army can have a strong defense without too much training.

However, what worries Chen Xing is ......

Treachery!

In the past, when he was in the guild, he was betrayed by many adventurers, and it was difficult for Chen Xing to believe in them again, and besides, adventurers were selfish, and it was not easy to believe in them.

These people are prone to rebellion, especially when life and death are at stake.

"Michael."

"Your Majesty."

"Honestly, your proposal is good. But, adventurers aren't so credible......"

"Why?"

"Because they are good at betrayal."

"Has Your Majesty ever been betrayed by them?"

"Yes."

Speaking of this, Chen Xing's face was a little gloomy.

"Because of that betrayal, I was miserable."

Until now, Chen Xing was reluctant to join the guild, and one of the important reasons why he had been wandering alone was this.

"Your Majesty."

Michael said to Chen Xing.

"Only the weak will be betrayed."

"Huh?"

"The conditions for betrayal can be many. Jealousy, greed, hatred or distrust, etc., but in the end, His Majesty was not strong enough at that time. ”

“......”

"Think back, Your Majesty. Was His Majesty a trustworthy person at that time? Is it someone who deserves to be followed by you and forsake his life? ”

"This ......"

Michael's words left Chen Xing a little speechless.

"What matters is faith, Your Majesty. Faith in the strong. I don't know what His Majesty was like before, but I can tell You one thing, if it was Your Majesty who was weak before, I would not have been able to trust you completely, and I would not have given up my life to follow you to the end. To put it bluntly, His Majesty is not strong enough. ”

"Hmm."

Chen Xing couldn't refute Michael's words.

"At that time, I was really not strong, and it just so happened that my enemies were very strong, and even if no one betrayed me, we would have been destroyed."

"And now?"

"It's a lot stronger, and it's going to get stronger and stronger."

Chen Xing replied without hesitation.

"It's going to take some time, but I'm going to get my revenge."

"So, Your Majesty. Now you are a person who can be trusted and trusted, because you are strong enough now, and those adventurers will definitely want to follow you. ”

After a pause, Michael continued.

"Moreover, there must be not only faith, but also punishment. People who betray easily, you should let them see what hell is like. ”

Chen Xing understood what Michael meant.

[The real strong, just sit there, there will be people to follow]

These were the words of Master Deus, which sounded in Chen Xing's mind.

Although he hadn't reached that point yet, Chen Xing could faintly feel the meaning of this sentence.

"Then recruit adventurers!"

Chen Xing finally made a decision.

Leave the fear of betrayal behind.

I am no longer the same person, confident and strong.

This is also a kind of growth.

Overcome the pain and fears of the past and move on.

The growth of the mind is more important than the growth of the body, and it is the only way to become truly powerful.

"Adventurer Elite, Legion, well, I like it."

"Haha, Your Majesty is wise."

When Chen Xing smiled, Michael also smiled.

......

The next morning.

Chen Xing came to Vimelian again.

"I have a request."

"What do you want, King of Protin?"

Chen Xing said with a smile.

"Our dragon hunting plan has been successful, and we have successfully hunted the green dragon."

"Really?! Did you succeed in dragon hunting? That's a daunting task. ”

"I'm lucky."

"No, it's a sign of strength."

Covante was really surprised.

"By the way, soon, I'm going to teleport the dragon's corpse here through the passage."

"The corpse of a dragon?"

"Yes, can you help me craft the keel into a weapon?"

"Of course! Absolutely! Recently, we've been struggling because we've run out of keels, and if you can send us some keels, I'll serve you for free. ”

"Yes."

Chen Xing readily agreed.

It's a win-win situation.

The Death Star can get their missing keel.

And Chen Xing's side can make weapons for the knights for free.
