(Author's note: 1000 subscriptions plus updates, there will be a second chapter at night.)
After announcing the formation of the personal guards, the meeting was dismissed.
After the meeting, Ouyang Shuo ordered the various divisions to immediately return to their camps after replenishing their troops. Especially the cavalry battalion, which was now the vanguard battalion, they had to immediately return to the Friendship Town's Northern Camp.
Out of the three hundred Green Beetle Horses obtained during the Dawn Operation, a hundred were lost in the Zhuolu battle. Ouyang Shuo planned to leave the remaining two hundred and fifty for his personal guards and the other fifty for the Military Intelligence Department.
Originally, the vanguard battalion needed the Green Beetle Horses the most. However, in order to confuse the Sky Abundant Tribe, it was impossible to equip them with Green Beetle Horses that were not purchased from the Sky Abundant Tribe.
Therefore, the vanguard battalion was short of four hundred Green Beetle Horses. Fortunately, the Sky Abundant Tribe had already sent someone to contact Zhou Haichen and expressed their intention to trade again.
After Ouyang Shuo received Zhou Haichen's official letter, he authorized Friendship Town to purchase Green Beetle Horses with all their might. They had to equip the vanguard battalion with Green Beetle Horses in the shortest time possible.
After leaving the military camp, Ouyang Shuo went to the military office.
In the military office's conference room, Ouyang Shuo summoned the three heads of the Military Intelligence Department for a military meeting.
"Lord, is there something big going on?" Song San looked excited.
Song San had also participated in the military meeting just now, but he was disappointed that there was no arrangement for the Military Intelligence Department. Now that the Lord had summoned them alone, it was undoubtedly a positive sign.
Unfortunately, Ouyang Shuo gave Song San a severe warning and said in a deep voice, "To be blunt, I am not satisfied with the Military Intelligence Department's recent work. Your intelligence can't keep up with the military's actions, it is truly disappointing. "
Song San's face turned pale as he hurriedly stood up from his seat and knelt on the ground. He said in fear, "This subordinate did not do his job well, please punish me, Lord!"
Leng Qian and Lei Xun also knelt on the ground in shame.
Ouyang Shuo's criticism was like a bolt from the blue to the Military Intelligence Department. If it were to be spread, the entire Military Intelligence Department would not be able to lift their heads.
Looking at the trio's remorseful expressions, Ouyang Shuo's expression softened. He waved his hand and said, "Get up, it will be embarrassing if someone sees us."
"Yes!" Song San and the rest got up and returned to their seats. The fear on their faces had not subsided.
"I know that the three of you have no experience in intelligence work. You're all self-taught. It's a bit too much to ask you to carry this burden. However, there's no other way. Who asked our territory to lack professional intelligence personnel? I can only squeeze the three of you dry. "Ouyang Shuo's words were sincere and heartfelt.
"Your subordinate is ashamed to have let you down!" Song San was a little emotional. This young man was one of the first two squad leaders of the Shanhai Village. Due to his flexibility in handling matters, he was transferred from the army by Ouyang Shuo and was put in charge of establishing the Military Intelligence Department.
Before he came to Shanhai Village, he was just a ruffian in the village. He didn't even have a proper name. The current name was given by Ouyang Shuo.
Then, two capable spies, Leng Qian and Lei Xun, emerged from the Military Intelligence Department one after another, and their limelight overshadowed him, the Director of the Seal Department. Fortunately, Ouyang Shuo did not lose his trust in him and still kept him in the position of director.
Even Leng Qian and Lei Xun were not trained in this field. They did not have any experience in intelligence work.
Therefore, to be honest, it was not easy for the Military Intelligence Department to come this far.
Unfortunately, Ouyang Shuo had placed too much hope on the Military Intelligence Department. He knew very well how important intelligence was to war. It was precisely because of this that he established the Military Intelligence Department at the village stage. He hoped that the Military Intelligence Department could develop step by step through practice.
Unfortunately, intelligence work was a very professional job. The knack of it was not something that outsiders could figure out thoroughly. Therefore, the Military Intelligence Department's development to this point was just passable.
Ouyang Shuo was also having a headache. Since the quality could not keep up, he could only make up for it with quantity. He looked at the restless three heads of the Military Intelligence Department and said, "I've decided to expand the Military Intelligence Department again. The Military Intelligence Department will be expanded to two hundred people. In addition to the previous Military Intelligence Team One and Military Intelligence Team Two, a Special Operations Team will be established. Song San, you will be personally in charge of the Special Operations Team. During this time, you must train a group of capable spies with all your heart. In order to increase the Military Intelligence Department's efficiency, the Carriage Department will provide you with fifty Green Beetle Horses. "
"Thank you for your trust, Your Excellency!" Song San took the lead and said, somewhat grateful.
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and continued, "In addition, I will assign the three of you some tasks. Song San will lead the Special Operations Team and be responsible for the investigation of the western region. Leng Qian will lead the Military Intelligence Team One and be responsible for the investigation of the eastern region, including the continuous investigation of the mountain barbarian tribes. Lei Xun will lead the Military Intelligence Team Two and continue to be responsible for the investigation of the northern region. This will provide reliable intelligence support for the military's next operation. "
"Yes!"
"I will give you one month. You must clearly understand the distribution of the territories on the eastern and western sides and draw up a map of the territories. This will provide powerful support for the upcoming territorial war." Ouyang Shuo's gaze began to look at the surrounding neighbors with malicious intentions.
"Yes!"
After coming out of the Military Intelligence Department, Ouyang Shuo began to calculate the cost of the military's reorganization this time.
After some calculations, to replace the dead soldiers, three new battalions, a personal guard, and the expansion of the Military Intelligence Department's combat personnel, a total of 1900 gold coins would be needed.
In this way, the 2000 gold coins that Ouyang Shuo had kept last time and the 100 gold coins from before would only be 200 gold coins left.
The last 200 gold coins were not kept in Ouyang Shuo's hands. He used them to buy a guild token from the real-time auction platform and sent it to Sun Xiaoyue so that she could establish a pure life profession guild in Dali.
Ouyang Shuo, who was empty-handed, didn't even have the money to purchase the basic building blueprints of a rank 1 county. He could only wait until the end of the month to hand over the profits of the Wolf Mountain Mine and the Northern Twilight Saltworks for the second half of May.
… …
Supreme Court.
Sun Xiaoyue was strolling around the market with her friends when a system notification suddenly rang in her ears.
"System notification: You have received an anonymous package. Would you like to accept it?"
Sun Xiaoyue's heart moved. She recalled Ouyang Shuo's words from last night and silently said, "Accept!"
With a flash of white light, a guild token appeared in Sun Xiaoyue's storage bag.
Like the Village Creation Token, guild tokens were also divided into four grades: Bronze, Black Iron, Silver, and Gold. Different grades of guild tokens had different member limits and guild characteristics.
A Bronze Guild Token had a member limit of 100 and no guild characteristics. A Black Iron Guild Token had a member limit of 1,000 and one guild characteristic. A Silver Guild Token had a member limit of 10000 and two guild characteristics. A Gold Guild Token had a member limit of 100000 and three guild characteristics.
Generally speaking, guilds with a Bronze Guild Token were known as small guilds, Black Iron Guild Tokens were known as medium-sized guilds, Silver Guild Tokens were known as large guilds, and Gold Guild Tokens were known as super-large-scale guilds.
In theory, super-large-scale guilds could have a maximum of 100,000 members. In reality, they could expand the member limit by establishing a branch guild.
Of course, it was impossible to manage a super-large-scale guild with 100,000 members without a powerful and efficient professional management team.
Therefore, the ten great guilds all had at least one workshop supporting them. Some even had financial groups investing in them and sending professional management teams to maintain the operations of the guild.
So, if a certain solo adventurer wanted to establish a large or even super-large guild because of his high level and fame, then he could still be a carefree boss who didn't have to do any work, he would have to do it himself. Then, such a guild would either be secretly controlled by a financial group or face the risk of disbanding at any time.
Players in the game were far more realistic than those in reality. They wouldn't risk their lives for your guild just because of your fame and passion. There were not many fools like that. Especially in games that were linked to real interests, it was even more impossible.
Unlike the Village Creation Token, the Guild Token could be leveled up by completing Guild Quests. Moreover, the Guild's characteristics could be chosen and were not fixed.
The top 10 guilds like [Baleful Blood Mercenary Group] and [Snow Rose Group] all used the lowest Bronze Guild Token in the beginning. Then, they continued to complete guild quests to upgrade the level of the token. At this stage, the top ten mercenary groups' guild tokens had already been upgraded to Silver Guild Token.
In the current market, a Bronze Guild Token could be bought for 10 gold coins. As for the Black Iron Guild Token, it cost around 200 gold coins, just like the one Ouyang Shuo bought.
As for the Silver Guild Token, only the top ten guilds had it, and they were all upgraded by completing guild quests. The Gold Guild Token was even more extinct, and it was not something that adventurer players could obtain.
Upgrading the token through guild quests was still relatively easy in the early stages. For example, the top ten guilds had many high-end players, and with their terrifying execution ability, it took them less than half a year to upgrade their guild tokens from the lowest Bronze Guild Token to the Silver Guild Token.
However, to upgrade it to the highest Gold Guild Token, they had to go through a very long period of suffering.
Ouyang Shuo remembered that in his previous life, the first super-large-scale guild in the China server, the Baleful Blood Mercenary Group, had upgraded at the end of the second year of the game. It took them a whole year and a half to do so.
Of course, other than the addition of a guild characteristic, the Silver Guild Token was enough for the top ten guilds. After all, they could establish a branch to manage their outer members.
The core members actually did not reach the full state of 10,000 people. The so-called core members were basically diehard members of the guild, and they had to receive a salary. (To be continued.)
