Chapter 7: Professional

A quarter of an hour later.

The Elders who managed the various affairs of the Night Tribe gathered together. Some had just gone to sleep, while others were already working overtime. However, upon hearing the Clan Leader's notification, they all hurried over.

According to usual practice, after completing his prayers, the Clan Leader would formulate a plan and outline the development goals for them. Although they had already discussed this a few days ago, that was merely a general outline without any detailed plans or work assignments.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Su Xingyu motioned for them to sit down. The somewhat impatient Night Battle could not wait to speak up.

"Clan Leader, what Oracle did you receive from your prayers this time? How should the tribe develop next? The Red River has already been occupied by us. After annexing the various tribes, we now possess more Warriors. There are no tribes nearby that can rival us anymore. Should we continue to expand outward...?"

Night Battle was the number one warrior of the Night Tribe. He was in charge of the Night Tribe's most Elite legion, the "Eternal Night Rider," and also served as the military Commander of the Night Tribe. During times of War, he even possessed the authority to deploy various legions.

At the same time, Night Battle was also a Tier Four Extraordinary Warrior. His strength could be said to be unmatched across the entire Red River Region.

Bloodthirsty Battle: As long as Life continues, the battle never ceases. As the battle progresses, combat power will gradually climb.

As the strongest man in the Night Tribe, Night Battle possessed extraordinary talent, which was evident from his attributes.

The four basic attributes of an ordinary member of the Human Race were all around three stars, but Night Battle had two attributes that reached five stars, and his Agility had also reached Four Stars.

The stronger the basic attributes, the greater the combat power at the same tier.

The fact that Night Battle had five stars in both Power and Constitution meant that among those of the same tier, he could sweep through the entire Night Tribe.

Su Xingyu looked at Night Battle and smiled. "There is no need to worry about a lack of opponents. The Red River is merely a starting point; the future of our Night Tribe is the entire world. This will be a long journey. Along this journey, we will encounter many powerful enemies. I hope you all can maintain your current mindset when that time comes."

"Hahaha, that is good." Night Battle's eyes burned with fervor as he laughed wildly. "The brave Warriors of the Night Tribe fear no Death, and we will surely use the heads of our enemies as blood sacrifices to our God!"

Su Xingyu grumbled in his heart, "How did they make me out to be like an Evil God?"

In the beginning, to make the Believers more capable in combat, Su Xingyu had bluffed them, saying that the Divine Spirit wished to see the Believers fight bravely and would bestow the blessing of Eternal Night upon the courageous.

Then, the development of the situation had gradually become increasingly outrageous. By today, the sacrificial lines had evolved into phrases like, "Use heads as a blood sacrifice to our God," "I will surely sacrifice the Life of the enemy to the Monarch," and "Death is not the end; even if the flesh dies, one must fight to the very last moment." He had to admit, these lines were somewhat embarrassing.

"Alright, Night Battle, sit down first and do not interrupt the Clan Leader's speech. Do you think War is easy? Every single time, it is us in the rear preparing supplies for you. Sometimes, we cannot even afford to eat back here, yet we still have to send things to you all..." Elder Qi, who was in charge of logistics, said in a foul mood.

Facing the Elder in charge of logistics, Night Battle could not say much in response. He could only give an awkward smile and obediently sit back down in his seat.

COUGH COUGH. After clearing his throat, Su Xingyu spoke up.

"Elder Qi, report on the tribe's current resource situation."

"Understood," Elder Qi nodded and slowly stood up. "After unifying the Red River, all types of resource reserves in the tribe have been replenished, especially the Blood Crystal Stone. Beneath both the Giant Tiger Tribe and the Barbaric Bull Tribe lies a small Blood Crystal Vein. Even if we want to expand the army in the future, this will be enough to sustain us for a long time.

"However, as there are more and more Extraordinary Warriors within the tribe, the food we have prepared is somewhat insufficient. The food reserves of the Giant Tiger and Barbaric Bull tribes are not abundant. If we want to survive this harsh winter, we might have to slaughter more of the cattle and sheep in the pastures..."

"There is no need to worry about the food issue. During the prayers this time, the Monarch was very satisfied with our recent sacrifices and bestowed a lot of grain—enough to last through this harsh winter." Su Xingyu nodded slightly, explaining this point first before continuing, "However, the work of reclaiming fields cannot be neglected either. We have a lot of manpower now, especially those newly joined tribesmen. Do not let them idle about. The Night Tribe does not feed idlers. Mining, land reclamation, city building... Regardless, we must find something for them to do."

The Fifth Elder smiled and said, "Rest assured, Clan Leader. I have already made the arrangements. I guarantee they will live fulfilling days and will not have a single quarter of an hour of free time."

Su Xingyu then detailed the matters of city building, land reclamation, and mining, before finally arriving at the true main topic: expanding the scale of the army.

"There are no longer any forces nearby that can threaten us, so it is also time to take the Blood Fang Forest. Night Battle, how is the task of screening new tribesmen to join the legion going?"

The Blood Fang Forest was a dense woods on the opposite bank of the river. It was abundant with Spirit Grass and Magic Power resources, and also possessed a medium-sized Blood Crystal Vein. Su Xingyu had been eyeing that place greedily for a long time.

Unfortunately, there were many Magical Beasts in the Blood Fang Forest, making it difficult to conquer. Coupled with the previous threats from other forces, Su Xingyu had never dared to make a move.

Now that the Red River had been unified and there was no need to worry about other forces launching a sneak attack on their home base, he could finally free up his hands to take the Blood Fang Forest.

The significance of the Blood Fang Forest was monumental. It was not merely a crucial resource hub; it also connected to the Blood Red Mountain Range. One could say it was the gateway to the Blood Red Mountain Range. Although the Night Tribe currently had no plans to advance into the Blood Red Mountain Range, it was never wrong to make preparations early on.

"Everything is ready. The Warriors of the Giant Tiger Tribe and the Barbaric Bull Tribe are all quite excellent. With just a bit of simple training, they can directly join the army. However, if we want them to progress further, I am afraid they will still have to fight a few battles. Only by experiencing the baptism of blood and fire can they grow into truly outstanding soldiers." Night Battle said excitedly, "The Night Tribe's headquarters has two thousand Warriors, plus another five thousand new recruits, making a total of seven thousand men. I will personally lead the troops. Just waiting for your command, Clan Leader, we can set out directly and conquer the Blood Fang Forest."

After the Night Tribe incorporated new recruits, the tactic they adopted was always for the veterans to lead the rookies. One Elite veteran would lead several new recruits. After a few times, as long as they were still alive, they would all make significant improvements.

"Good," Su Xingyu nodded slowly. "There is new equipment in the warehouse. After the Warriors change into it, set out directly tomorrow.

"I will not be participating in this battle. The troops will be handed over to your full command. Although the specific situation of the Blood Fang Forest has already been scouted out, it is still better to be careful. You absolutely must not underestimate the enemy." Lest Night Battle become careless, Su Xingyu warned him.

"Yes, Clan Leader!" Night Battle replied loudly.

After instructing him on a few more matters to pay attention to, Su Xingyu had Night Battle return to prepare for the pre-war affairs.

Night Battle was more than happy to do so. Compared to those complicated and messy tribal affairs, leading Warriors into War was much more suitable for him.

"Aside from grain and equipment, I have also brought back many other resources. These resources are very precious and need to be used properly." Su Xingyu looked at the middle-aged man beside him and asked, "Ye San, how is the task I gave you before I left coming along?"

Ye San replied, "Do not worry, Clan Leader. Those special Professional talents have already been registered and categorized by me."

The so-called Professional talents were those special individuals who excelled in various Skills, such as forging, Alchemy, breeding, and healing.

Within every tribe, there would often be a few Professional talents.

Previously, the Night Tribe had also specially trained some, but due to issues with resources and training costs, they had not expanded the scale.

However, now that the Night Tribe was growing larger and resources were abundant, Su Xingyu also wanted to cultivate a batch of Professional talents specifically to serve the tribe.

For instance, in terms of forging, in order to cultivate a Blacksmith, Su Xingyu had specifically spent a high price to purchase several copies of the "Forging Experience Book," which contained forging techniques ranging from Bronze to silver.

It was a pity that the City of Gods did not allow the trade of living creatures; otherwise, he would have wanted to just directly buy a few Professional talents and be done with it.
