Monster Paradise

300 to 400 people sat in the Sword Alliance headquarters’ meeting room in the Pilgrim Star Zone.

Since the Sword Alliance was founded, this was the meeting with the most participants.

None of the Sword Servants were absent.

“I got everyone to be here today mainly to divide and restructure a portion of the Sword Alliance’s departments, which might involve you guys. Take this opportunity to voice out any opinions and suggestions that you might have. We’ll discuss it together.”

Lin Huang nodded at Sword 1 after he gave a brief opening speech.

Sword 1 nodded affirmatively and took over the discussion.

“I’ll get down to business directly.”

“The first item is the restructuring of the Heavenly God League.”

“As many of you have been elevated to Lords lately, it would be rather odd for you to stay in the Heavenly God League. Therefore, I’ve discussed matters with the Swordmaster to set up an individual department for all of the Lords. The temporary name of the department would be the Huang League. If you guys have a better name, you may suggest one. We can change it if there’s a suitable one.”

“Sword 2 will be Huang League’s team leader, and Sword 3 will be the deputy team leader. I won’t be reading out the name list. All of the lord-level Sword Servants will be joining the Huang League automatically.”

“The first mission for the Huang League would be arranging at least two people to guard the Swordmaster. Sword 2 and Sword 3 will select the bodyguards everyday. All you have to do is take turns following their arrangement. If something comes up, inform Sword 2 or Sword 3 at least a day before so that they can replace you with another bodyguard. Don’t swap your duty positions on your own. The reason being is because Sword 2 and Sword 3 will take the two assigned bodyguards’ cultivation direction into consideration. Usually, there’ll be a higher level of efficiency when the two bodyguards are assigned to work together. I hope everyone will be responsible for the Swordmaster’s safety.”

Lin Huang felt rather speechless as he listened to the mission’s contents.

He thought, ‘I’ll be responsible for my own safety. You guys take care of yourself.”

In reality, he did not want a bodyguard. However, he could deny Sword 1 who insisted on arranging that for him.

Lin Huang could only compromise. He agreed that the bodyguards could follow him around only when there were outsiders present. When there were no outsiders present, he did not need any bodyguards with him.

Most of the lord-level Sword Servants were unusually excited as they listened to the mission’s contents. That was the job of the previous Swordmaster’s bodyguards. Before this, there were only ten bodyguards for the Swordmaster.

“The second mission for the Huang League would be for everyone to carry out the Swordmaster’s orders unconditionally.”

“The third mission, which is also a short-term mission for the time being, is for all Huang League members to be sent into Royal’s instanced dungeon to obtain resources one by one before heading to the universe. You guys can team up on your own. However, before teaming up, I’d suggest that you guys take into account each other’s strengths and how it would complement the team.”

“I’ll send the details of the missions to Sword 2 and Sword 3 later. They will make the necessary arrangements.”

“There’s something that I would like to say here. Among the spoils you obtain from Royal’s instanced dungeon, everyone will have to submit 30% to the Sword Alliance.”

“The Sword Alliance requires a lot of funds for operations and development. Moreover, most of the rewards that you guys obtain later on will be traded from the spoils that you submitted.”

“The fourth mission…”

…

After going over the matters regarding the Huang League, Sword 1 then changed the subject to the Heavenly God League that had been divided.

As there were over a hundred Sword Servants who had been elevated to Lords and moved to Huang League, the Heavenly God League had lost many of its group leaders.

Lin Huang had thought about this with Sword 1 and decided to restructure the Heavenly God League completely.

“As the league has lost many group leaders, we’ve decided to restructure the entire Heavenly God League.”

“On the Heavenly God League’s side, Sword 11 and Sword 12 will still be the captains.”

“Sword 11 and Sword 12, you guys will be guarding the Heavenly God League. Under normal circumstances, the Huang League will not assign any missions to the both of you.”

“The team leaders will be all of the 247 half-step Lords present. All of the Heavenly Gods will be divided equally to join the 247 teams.”

“Also, all team leaders, please do not showcase your half-step Lord’s combat strength outrightly. Try your best to disguise your aura at ninth-rank heavenly god-level. By doing that, we can prevent spies from other organizations from spreading the news of our Sword Alliance having many half-step Lords.”

“After the meeting ends, you guys can choose your own teammates, but you can’t force them to join you.”

“Also, there’ll be Royal’s instanced dungeon mission for the Heavenly God League. The requirement is the same as the Huang League, where you’re required to submit 30% of your spoils.”

…

“Apart from the Huang League and Heavenly God League, there’s a new intelligence department that has been newly-founded.”

“The name of this intelligence department is Heavenly Network.”

“For the time being, Lin Xin, Yang Ling and Hong Zhuang would be the department heads. Those who are adept in intelligence work are welcome to join.”

“Also, if any of your subordinates are skilled in intelligence work, you can recommend them to the three department heads as well.”

The Sword Servants looked at Lin Xin and the other two when they heard that.

Naturally, they knew of the Swordmaster’s sister. Yang Ling and Hong Zhuang who had been staying at the Sword Alliance’s headquarters were no strangers to them as well.

It was just that they had no idea what Yang Ling and Hong Zhuang’s roles were in the past.

Now they finally knew that the two of them were in the intelligence field.

Those Sword Servants who were skilled in intelligence work were a little excited now.

“If there are any team leaders in the Heavenly God League who are skilled in intelligence work, they can transfer to the Heavenly Network as well. You’ll have the privilege of getting the members under you to join. After all, the Heavenly Network has just been founded, so there’s currently a major talent shortage.” At the moment, Yang Ling could not help but speak up, “There’s one thing that I’d like to say. Our Heavenly Network’s main direction is internet data browsing. There’s no spy-related work, so the inherent risk is low. Currently, we need people to conduct information trades with other organizations’ intelligence departments. We warmly welcome those who have related job experience.”

Sword Servants among the crowd raised their hands one after the other as soon as Yang Ling was done speaking.

Great Heaven had trained talents in this field before. There were some ten people among the Sword Servants who were skilled in intelligence work.

Lin Huang and Sword 1 did not want to force them to join the Heavenly Network. Therefore, they gave them the opportunity to choose on their own.

Very soon, Yang Ling recruited 13 team leaders. Sword 1 would get them to discuss the details on their own later.

The meeting went on.

Approximately about half an hour later, the Sword Servants left after the agendas regarding them had been discussed.

Sword 1 and Lin Huang were the only ones left in the meeting room.

“Anything else?” Lin Huang asked.

“Hunt and Mysterious Item Pavilion contacted our branch in the human world. They would like to collaborate,” Sword 1 said softly.

“Sure. We can develop the branch in the human world.” Lin Huang agreed to that directly.

Hunt and Mysterious Item Pavilion were top grade-6 organizations among the humans. To the Sword Alliance, it was good that they were willing to collaborate.

“Do you think we can give in a little bit on the collaboration agreement since they’re the same kind as you, Lord Swordmaster?” Sword 1 could not really decide on such matters.

“No need to. Just do it as we usually do.” Lin Huang waved. “It depends on their effort as to what they’ll get.”

“Also, the headquarters has basically been settled now. Should we maintain what we have at the branch in the human world or do we start recruiting to expand further?”

“Let’s recruit new members. There should be many worthy successors among the humans.” Lin Huang decided without hesitation. “I’ll get Bloody to draft a development plan for the branch within these two days. Please make the necessary arrangements.”
