A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

#208 - Infighting among management

The next day arrived.

Another 30,000+ points of Faith Power arrived in the account.

"Very good."

Shen Mu was quite satisfied with this, especially when he saw those Blue Star humans who had spontaneously gathered and come to the front of his noble mansion to await ennoblement.

His mood was even more cheerful.

After all, as far as he was concerned, as long as these Blue Star humans were ennobled by him, the Faith Power he obtained would increase more and more, and after finally reaching a critical point, after deducting the cost of ennobling them, the rest would be pure profit.

At this time, in the reception hall of the noble mansion.

Zhang Caidong, Sun Zhiru, and those senior executives, also led 10 middle-level managers to his presence.

"Lord, these 10 middle-level managers are the targets for ennoblement this time."

Zhang Caidong reported at this time, with a smile on his face, showing no frustration or anger, only a business-like appearance.

However, the senior executives next to him looked at these 10 middle-level managers with very bad expressions, their eyes filled with anger.

Because these 10 middle-level managers were actually their underlings.

They didn't expect that they were only taking human followers to level up, and these middle-level underlings had bypassed them and directly connected with Lord Shen Mu, which was equivalent to stabbing them in the back.

How could these senior executives be convinced?

How could they be happy?

Of course, even these middle-level managers understood at this time that they had forgotten to discuss with these senior executives because they were too excited, or rather, they had deliberately forgotten to discuss with these senior executives, and now their faces were not good either.

Because yesterday, they had been ridiculed by these senior executives for a long time, and they also understood that even if they became Spirit Realm followers, they would still have to work under the management of these senior executives.

Silently contacting Lord Shen Mu was not a wise choice.

However, seeing that Lord Shen Mu obviously wanted to ennoble them as Spirit Realm followers, just like their senior leaders, they were quite excited.

As long as they had power, as long as they had these Spirit Realm followers, and stood on the same starting line as their bosses, even if they suffered some humiliation now, the situation would be different when they rose to power in the future.

They also understood that after all, Dherim was newly established, and everyone had unlimited possibilities.

As long as they ran a little faster, they could catch up with those in front.

And as long as they caught up with those in front, it meant that they would also become senior executives.

At that time, why would they accept the management of these senior executives who hated them so much?

Then, when they also became senior executives, perhaps these senior executives would fall because of their mistakes, and instead have to listen to their orders.

So, these middle-level managers, although they all had serious expressions on their faces, were still quite excited in their hearts.

"Alright, let's begin the ennoblement then."

Of course, Shen Mu didn't know about their internal conflicts, or rather, he didn't care at all about the conflicts between these people.

After all, these Blue Star humans didn't know that even if they were ennobled, they were not the kind of Spirit Realm commanders whose souls were bound to these followers.

In fact, the human followers in the eyes of these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers were still completely loyal to Shen Mu.

They would never betray Shen Mu.

The so-called ennoblement, the so-called making these middle-level managers, these Blue Star humans, become Spirit Realm commanders, was only because they were ennobled as decurions, who were the superior commanders of these Mount \u0026 Blade civilians, so they would listen to their orders.

And if there was a higher-level commander, such as Shen Mu, who had the highest authority, issuing a ban, then these ennobled decurions would never be able to continue ordering these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers.

Which was equivalent to the command authority returning to Shen Mu's hands.

Therefore, Shen Mu didn't care at all about the loyalty of these Blue Star humans.

Shen Mu only cared about whether these Blue Star humans could lead these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers to provide him with more Faith Power.

Faith Power was what Shen Mu cared about the most.

The so-called loyalty or allegiance, he didn't care at all.

As long as he had these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers, he had his base.

He didn't care at all about the internal situation of these Blue Star humans.

So, after ennobling these 10 contact humans, Shen Mu waved his hand and said to these decurions who still felt fresh about everything: "Alright, now you are decurions in Dherim, that is, Spirit Realm commanders.

You already have the ability to lead soldiers to fight independently.

Next, I will continue to arrange 10 villagers to follow you.

These villagers are all good young men who can grow into soldiers.

You must lead them to fight to accumulate experience, and finally come to me to level up, do you understand?"

"Understood, respected Lord Shen Mu."

These middle-level managers were all quite excited, nodding repeatedly at everything.

Moreover, at this time, they had all changed into clothes from the Mount \u0026 Blade world, and they had also changed into weapons from the Mount \u0026 Blade world.

Although they were only ordinary wooden sticks or spiked clubs, and scythes, etc., they looked like farmers.

But they could feel the power of rules in these clothes and weapons, and they also had the power of rules in their bodies.

Before this, only those Blue Star humans who had the Spirit Realm imprint and inherited it to become Spirit Realm commanders could have this power, but now they had this power just because Shen Mu had ennobled them.

Didn't this mean that they had also become Spirit Realm commanders?

So, these middle-level managers were really quite excited.

"Hmph!"

But those senior executives were all looking askance at these 10 middle-level managers, and at the same time, they thought of the more middle-level managers outside who had united to bypass them, and took out the list on their own, making flattering gestures to Shen Mu, and they were even more angry.

After all, as far as they were concerned, these lists should have been handed over to Shen Mu by them.

They didn't expect that these middle-level managers had replaced them and handed over these lists.

This was a challenge to their authority.

The list must be handed over, but who should hand it over, who should organize and compile these lists, and who should recommend the personnel who would come to Shen Mu to be ennobled as decurions next, were all the work of these senior managers, and had nothing to do with these middle-level managers.

But now, instead, these middle-level managers have completed this work themselves. Then what do they, these senior executives, need to do?

This is being sidelined. This is a provocation to their authority. This is why these senior executives must ruthlessly suppress these middle-level managers.

If they don't ruthlessly suppress these middle-level managers, if they don't crush those who take the lead, those who excel, and those troublemakers among these middle-level managers, then the middle-level managers will definitely completely ignore their orders, completely sideline them, and completely turn them into castles in the air, unable to connect with the ground, without any real power.

This is something these senior executives absolutely cannot allow to happen.

So, looking at these middle-level managers who were already secretly excited, who hadn't even consulted with them and were the kind to take the lead, these senior executives were all extremely angry in their hearts. And while they were rejoicing, these senior executives also exchanged glances, seeing the anger and frustration in each other's eyes, and then nodded to each other, tacitly reaching a consensus.

That is, they must not let these middle-level managers, these ten people, have an easy time. They must ruthlessly suppress them, absolutely suppress their ability to continue moving upwards, and make them become very miserable, or even have one or two of them die in some kind of accident, as a way to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys; this is the best choice.

Otherwise, if the middle-level managers and the lower-level managers see that they, these senior executives, don't have the ability or the means to suppress those managers who want to climb upwards and then betray them, they will definitely become increasingly disloyal and completely say goodbye to them.

Therefore, in order to deter these Blue Star humans and maintain their authority, these senior executives must take action against these middle-level managers, at least to let others know what the consequences are of offending them.

In the future, if anything happens, they must report to them, otherwise they will ruthlessly use thunderous means to打击 these heretical elements.

Moreover, all these senior executives have reached a tacit understanding.

However, among them, Zhang Caidong didn't care too much. Instead, watching the internal strife between these senior and middle-level managers, he felt somewhat amused in his heart.

Error-free version is being read! This novel was first published.

Because he had already understood his position and what he should do through some of the things Zhang Bo had told him.

That is, to conscientiously complete his own job, and then watch these senior and middle-level managers engage in internal strife. And he himself would win over these senior executives and some of the obedient middle-level managers, while Zhang Bo would secretly win over the remaining middle-level managers who had taken the lead and were being suppressed.

Then, he would bring these suppressed middle-level managers over to Zhang Caidong's side.

In this way, the senior executives would engage in internal strife, the middle-level managers would be suppressed, and then he, Zhang Caidong, would be high above in the position of the highest authority, the top leader.

Yet he would have a panoramic view, with everything under his control.

"As expected, Brother Bo is good to me. In this way, I don't have much threat on the surface. It's all these senior and middle-level managers engaging in internal strife. If this is investigated, it has nothing to do with me. Moreover, because the infighting between them is so fierce, it actually makes me, who is conscientiously doing things, leave a good impression," the corners of Zhang Caidong's mouth revealed a smile, while also glancing at Sun Zhiru and his three partners next to him.

He also felt a bit emotional in his heart. Currently, the only four people who were not participating in the infighting were them, especially Sun Zhiru, his deputy and also the second-in-command of the entire Blue Star human management, who was also quietly by his side like him, not getting involved in anything, which reassured him.

Of course, this reassurance was relative, because he understood that the four of them couldn't stir up any waves, so they could only rely on him and wouldn't dare to participate in the infighting.

Instead, they became a very strong supporter of Zhang Caidong.

In this way, he could also show that he, Zhang Caidong, only mingled in small circles with people who worked seriously, and wasn't as keen on competing for fame and fortune as those people who were infighting.

He could leave a better impression with Shen Mu.

After all, he could understand just by thinking about it.

Sun Zhiru was arranged by Zhang Caidong to be the second-in-command, so behind the scenes, he definitely also represented a certain degree of monitoring. If he got along well with them, then he wouldn't be able to say anything wrong in front of Shen Mu, so his position as the top leader would be quite stable.

And as long as he could ensure that his position as the top leader was stable, then he could control the entire situation. After all, whether it was these senior executives or Zhang Bo, as well as the middle-level managers, they were all quite convinced of him.

While Zhang Caidong was thinking, the middle-level managers had already left the meeting room because they had been officially appointed, leaving only these senior executives.

As senior executives, they were still qualified to remain in Shen Mu's conference hall to conduct meetings and discussions.

"Next, I hope that everyone can continue to work hard to urge those Blue Star humans to pray properly and obtain more spiritual energy," Shen Mu still urged them, wanting them to pay more attention to ensure that the supply of faith power wouldn't have too many twists and turns.

"Understood, Your Excellency Shen Mu, we will also do our best to have all the Blue Star humans contribute their spiritual energy for Deherim," these senior executives, of course, had nothing to say and all agreed.

"Very good, that's why I trust you," Shen Mu then inquired about some questions regarding the living conditions and emotional fluctuations of the Blue Star humans. After confirming that there were no problems, he waved his hand and let them leave.

After these senior executives had all left, Shen Mu didn't stop. Instead, he opened his mouth to the attendant next to him again, saying, "Summon 50 Holy Tree Knights to leave with me."

"Understood, I will go arrange it now." The Swadian light infantry, acting as an attendant, immediately nodded in response, and then quickly left to convey Shen Mu's order.

Soon, outside the noble residence, 50 Holy Tree Knights had already completed their formation and were respectfully waiting for Shen Mu.

A Holy Tree Knight had also personally led Shen Mu's Holy Tree Heavy Steed to wait there at the door.

"Your Excellency, this is your horse." Seeing Shen Mu come out, he also quickly walked over and handed over the reins.

"Yes, very good, let's go." Shen Mu flipped onto the horse, then shook the reins and led the 50 Holy Tree Knights, starting to head towards the west gate.

He was going to the old site of the Diesel Company to build a new castle. (End of this chapter)
