Chapter 701: Restructuring
The Bookas the one to answer “Ships won’t work It can be put into their weapons, but ship guns spread vital energy too thin We can’t concentrate Discipline enough to pierce their defenses As far as our tests have shown, e while providing the highest rate of survivability for the Adept Outfits like our Star Division are particularly effective against them for this reason”
The leaders around the table nodded their heads in understanding Star Division’s success, they kneould also translate into a higher standing for Skyfire Avenue
The Keeper continued “We’ve given the results of our experimentation to the military already They will share it with the West and North soon I believe they will create Adept armies of their own once they learn of their efficacy”
The Wine Master turned to Lan Jue “Jewelry Master, as commander of Star Division why don’t you tell us about how it’s doing?”
He responded with a nod “At present Star Division is one thousand five hundred fighters strong, all Adepts of varying degrees It is split into four brigades: First Brigade specializes in close- and fixed-cohters; Third Brigade is recon and support; and Fourth Brigade is specialists”
“As I said, Third Brigade is our reconnaissance and infiltration teaistics, rear support and coordination First and Second brigades are mainly combat They are subdivided into units of ten soldiers each, led by an eighth-level Adept or higher We encourage our fighters by rewarding them with loot and vital crystals, based on merit”
“Currently all of our people have been outfitted with customized mechas that play to their Disciplines Results have been exceptional I dare say that Star Division is stronger than any group of co us a ‘Division’ may not be true in terms of numbers, but our acco out pirate strongholds in the Shattered Starfields We were victorious is every mission Star Division encountered the alien planets on Moonfiend and fled with one casualty, we’ve been building up arms and personnel since then While we can’t compare to the destructive capabilities of a Bastion ship or interstellar fleet off-planet, we can do just asour nuards to sheer cataclyso where a planet-sized ship can’t If we can infiltrate a Bastion, we can take it”
The Keeper chortled “That ht be a little ambitious After the Violet Prince’s attack on Tyrannosaurus, the Alliances are taking a closer look at internal security”
Lan Jue paused, then chuckled in spite of hi, a little pain to learn their lesson Alright, that’s all I have to report”
The Wine Master glanced at him “In order to better protect Skyfire and by extension Skyfire Avenue, we’ve agreed to make Star Division part of the conventional Eastern arether, and toward this end I suggest all Paragons lend their strength to the cause Star Division and the Eastern arreatly from your participation Jewelry Master, as colowered at his old friend The old bastard was leaving hi, it was Lan Jue’s job, and one he couldn’t avoid
“After soons to be disseades The e’re set up it wouldn’t be fair or useful to other ons aren’t best in h without theons should work as independent actors – essentially their own Brigade They can be dispatched on strategic missions as is most suitable to their abilities and the situation”
The Wine Master regarded hiht I have no opinion on the ade?”
Lan Jue had already accepted his friend’s fine gift of alcohol There was no recourse but to do his duty “It has been very difficult to find a suitable candidate, and I’ve thought long on the probleh about your individual leadership skills, so for the estions, and would like to hear what our illustrious Paragons think”
The Keeper was first “I don’t care, so long as I’m not called out on too reat deal of experiments that must be attended to”
I know, Lan Jue ree,” the Wine Master said
None of the other Paragons had opinions to share
