My Players Are So Fierce

628: 215.

But quickly, he voiced his doubts, saying:

“I…

I was there when they died, but they didn’t truly perish, did they?

So, what are they?

The legendary ‘Heroic Spirits’?”

“Hmm, your concept is quite interesting.”

Murphy’s eyes sparkled.

He stood up straight, rubbing his brow as he spoke:

“They could be Heroic Spirits…

at least, they can be described as such when we publicize it.

If necessary, we indeed can describe them that way in the future.

But in reality, they are spirits from Another World.

This is a kind of high-level Psychic Spell.

I’d have a hard time explaining the specific principle to you.

What you need to know is that their existence is not a bad thing.

They are well-intentioned beings from an orderly plane.

As long as they are properly guided, they can be trusted.

Do you have any further questions?”

“No more.”

Kudell stood up, drained his wine in one gulp, and said decisively:

“I’ll set off tomorrow morning.

I hope they’re ready.”

“No rush!

Move it to the day after tomorrow.

They need some time to mobilize, and the cavalries sent by the Witch-Hunters also need time to give their final report.”

Murphy waved his hand and said:

“You also need time to rest, even if only for one night.

You need new equipment, a new weapon, a new war horse, you need a stunning new image!

I’ll have all these things prepared for you.”

“There’s no need to go through all that, I only need my sword…”

“No!

My Civilian Protection Officer, trust me, all these things are necessary!

Moreover, I know you don’t accept your Vampire identity, Cui Si and I won’t force you.

However, within our territorial management system, you will be re-appointed as the commander of the Civilian Protection Officer in overall charge of Transylvania.

We will customize a position for you that will be separate from the army, the militia, and the city police.

You can be considered the supervisor and admonisher that represents the authority of Transylvanian law and administration.

You can confer the title of ‘Civilian Protection Officer’ upon any person you value and approve of, and can command these elite warriors who have pledged to protect.

Moreover, I’ll also grant you the title of ‘Baron of Hunting’ along with a small fiefdom near the Andma Hills.

You must accept!

No ifs ands or buts!

My Crimson Regent and I will not allow you to stay outside the new order we are building.

Please understand, Mr.

Kudell!

All this is for the stability of Transylvania.

Only when it is stable will the people you hope to protect be spared from more suffering.”

“So, what you mean is, we can still have the name ‘Rat Gang’ and be entitled to territory in the sewers?

And we also must restart the black market business?”

Miss Doris, who had changed into a new outfit and eaten her fill, feeling as if she had regained her spirit, was currently standing in front of the desk of the Crimson Regent.

Her face, still covered in bandages, expressed astonishment as she said to Milian, the female Baron who was sipping tea casually in front of her:

“And we also have to get involved in the management of that ‘Fight Club’?”

“Yes!

That will be your work from now on.”

As Milian sipped her invigorating tea, she issued instructions to the head of the gang before her in a businesslike tone:

“In addition, you must undertake the duty of teaching skills to the warriors of Transylvania.

For instance, if someone wants to become a thief or a rogue, you must help them change their class, and sell them related skill manuals and professional items.

Our Lord has also delegated the right to assign the daily ghoul clearance tasks to you.

You and your gang must always stay in the sewers monitoring the movement of the ghouls in the lower levels.

Even if the Witch-Hunters thoroughly seal off the area, you must persist in your duty until all the Undead down there are cleaned up someday in the future.

You need to understand: you involved yourself in that matter and did something wrong, you yourself admitted that.

Therefore, you must shoulder the responsibility of cleaning up this mess!

Consider it your atonement.”

A dedicated administrative staff member will teach you how to use the Calculating Pearl to assign tasks, which you must learn before officially assuming your post.

This is an assessment of your administrative capabilities, and if you do not pass, you cannot be granted official duties.

Furthermore, your organization will be attached to the Shadow Intelligence Bureau led by Lady Adel.

Once she returns, you should take the initiative to reach out to her for a handover.

Do you have any other questions?”

“Oh, wait!”

Doris felt her worldview being challenged, and she exclaimed:

“Who in their right mind would aspire to become a thief!

And does anybody really make such outrageous career choices?

Plus, why are we responsible for eliminating ghouls?

I just hope to do whatever I can for those who have met tragic ends, but now, counting me, the Rat Gang only has four people left!

We don’t want to avoid the duty, it’s just impossible to fulfill it!

Lady, don’t you have some misconceptions about our capabilities?”

“This is your job, and not up for debate!”

Milian’s eyes widened, and the authority of the Governor was palpable as she reprimanded:

“Uphold the integrity of being a public instrument of society, and not bargain at the work level – that’s the professional ethics a honorable Transylvanian civil servant should have!

If you’re not planning on doing duty in the sewers, I can only throw you into the patrol team heading for the Polluted Swamp.

Think carefully about where you want to go.

In addition, your application for the title of ‘Administrative Knight’ is under review.

If you perform well in the first month, you will be awarded honors.

But if you don’t do well, there’ll be more competent people to replace you.

As for eradicating ghouls, are you deaf?

We just need you to post daily tasks!

Afterwards, there will naturally be warriors to help you accomplish everything, and your responsibility will be to clean up the ghoul teeth and claws they bring back, and send them to Lady Cui Si’s alchemy hut.

Afterwards, a specialist will settle your earnings.

The Fight Club is run by Baron Limu.

If you have any questions, ask him.

I am not responsible for answering your questions!

Do you have any other questions?

If not, head to the house next door and wait.

In half an hour someone will teach you the responsibilities and daily rules of a civil servant.

You’d better take it seriously.

If it is discovered that you cannot fulfill your duties…your predicament probably won’t be a good one.”

“Ah…”

Miss Doris was overwhelmed, finally managing to stutter:

“So we’re being incorporated by the Earl, right?

We’re on the government payroll?”

“Pretty much.”

Milian took a sip of tea, dispelling some of the fatigue from working all night.

She yawned, rubbing her aching forehead, and said:

“Right now it’s just a probation period, so you all better demonstrate your work capacity!

If you don’t pass the assessment next month, don’t even think about your duty allowance, and forget about a job promotion at the end of the year.”

“So, we technically control the whole sewer system now?”

Doris asked woozily again.

But the Governor was too tired to continue conversing with her, so she waved her hand, immediately signalling the hefty witch-hunter guards to politely “escort” Doris out of the office.

“Hehe, hehe.”

The former gang leader chuckled as he returned to his three faithful followers, patting the shoulders of these terrified fellows, saying:

“Lads, our luck has turned!

Earl Cardman needs us to serve his territory, so let’s all work hard to earn the title of ‘Administrative Knight’ next year.

Also, the entire sewer system is now under our control!

We, the Rat Gang, have finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, and we’re on our way up.”

“Er, boss, isn’t it wrong to keep using this name?

Look, the four of us have survived all odds, and we’ve got some status now, shouldn’t we change our name and say goodbye to the past?”

“Hmm, that makes sense!

Now, let me think about what our new name should be…”
