“How many people to send, you don’t actually have to ask me per se. This matter, from beginning to end, is not something I will care about.”
“It’s up to you to send one person, or two, it’s up to you.”
“As a matter of fact, with your monetary support, I can completely look for mercenaries in the Land of Demons, and with my Han Sanqian’s strength coupled with my financial power, these are not any problems at all.”
“But the reason why I chose not to do so is that mercenaries aren’t quite trustworthy enough after all.”
“For two, they are always outsiders.”
“For the sake of Night Sky City’s overall defence, I have to have a training boost for my troops, and that’s something I can’t just train my own people, I have to train the mercenaries as well.”
“After all, only when everyone’s pace is the same, once the enemy attacks, the entire troop will be able to screw together without flaws
of rope for confrontation.”
“That’s why the mercenaries have to train together as well.”
“But as you know, they’re not our people after all, they’re all just money men, and today, I pay them to help me, and tomorrow, someone else can pay them to beat me.”
“Raising them up is a solution to the current urgent need of Night Sky City’s city defence, but at the same time, it will also bring a huge security risk to Night Sky City’s future.”
“Thus, I think the mind is set on you sending people.”
“You guys sending people over will be about as effective as mercenaries, however, you are all people I trust and are my partners.”
“Therefore, by tilting the resources for training towards you guys, I have peace of mind while maximising not wasting resources.”
“You are all my people, and it is highly likely that you will be subject to enemy retaliation in the future.
”
“Therefore, if you have a strong force of your own, these problems can be effectively mitigated.”
“In this way, it is simply the best coping strategy for you.”
Shangguan Qingyi nodded and said, “Understood, in other words, Night Sky City is a joint defence of forces between us, we are all just combining our resources together.”
“Not bad, the quality of this resource will be upgraded by me for you.” As Han Sanqian’s words fell, he glanced at Shangguan Qingyi, instantly knowing why Shangguan Qingyi had become so active, smiled, and said, “Of course, I’m only responsible for the training, and the rest of the day-to-day maintenance needs to be handled by yourselves.”
How smart Han Sanqian was, almost a single glance could instantly understand some of this that they were worried about.
After all, Shangguan Qingyi, a person who had always not really said much, was asking questions back to back today.
Han Sanqian naturally and instantly could understand the meaning of it.
With Han Sanqian’s words, Shangguan Shengyi smiled, “The Shangguan family now has 10,000 elite soldiers, we’ll leave behind 3,000 to do our daily defence needs, and bring all the rest to Night Sky City.”
Shangguan Shengyi was clearly making an early example.
Cao Shen and Zhou Yong looked at each other, in fact, Han Sanqian’s last sentence about daily maintenance being handled by themselves was in fact already telling them that the daily command of this team could be done by them designating their own minders.
In other words, everything in the troop was ultimately under their own control.
This was not to say that it made them completely let go of their hearts, but it at least made them feel a lot of relief.
Coupled with the fact that Shangguan Qingyi had now stated her position in advance, they really couldn’t go on thinking about it for too long, after all, in that case, some of the mistrust would simply be too
obvious.
Therefore, the two looked at each other and smiled.
“The Zhou family has 50,000 elite soldiers, and excluding the daily defence requirements, they can also send 20,000 men to join the battle.” Zhou Yong and Cao Sen’s relationship, the Zhou family was in the front after all, and must also make a certain example at this time.
“The Cao Family has 20,000 elite soldiers, and can also send around 8,000 people to Night Sky City.” Cao Shen followed closely behind.
Han Sanqian glanced at the two men and wasn’t actually too satisfied.
Even though the combined number of men sent by Zhou Yong and Cao Shen also amounted to 28,000, which seemed extremely large as well, proportionally speaking, it really wasn’t much of a surprise.
Both families were very conservative, and compared to the bravado of the Shangguan family who dared to send over 8,000 people for 10,000, it was obvious that the Zhou and Cao families still had some scruples, or rather, were not trusting enough.
Of course, there is another point that is very important ……
