557 DISCUSSIONS AFTER THE WAR
The two hundred soldiers returned with grand victory. They were happy. But after around one hour of cheerful moment, the atmosphere finally calmed down. Everyone returned their homes in a good and satisfied mood. As for the wounded soldiers, they were sent to the treatment room in order to receive treatment for their wounds.
But the Committee didn't leave. All of them were in the meeting room. Of cource, the likes of Sitaram, Gutherson and Gnan were also in the meeting room. Rick was standing in the middle. He was waiting for the evaluation of his performance.
As the one who deployed two hundred soldiers, Jimmy finally stood up and said, \"You did good, Rick! You won the war with no casualties on our side. This will improve the faith from the citizens towards our committee.\"
\"Thank you, Boss!\" ,Rick smiled and acknowledged the praises.
\"But you still made some blunders in your Generalship!\" ,Jimmy said, \"First of all, what did you learn back in Maze Palace in Life Realm?\"
Rick sighed. He knew this was coming. So he was prepared for it. He said, \"No matter what kind of distraction we were forced into, we should not distract our attention from the primary objective.\"
\"Correct.\" ,Jimmy said, \"Back then, we almost lost our lives in the Maze Palace because of this mistakes. So, we learned that lesson after somehow escaping the death. But why did you still made those mistakes?\"
Rick was silent for a period of time. He then said, \"I acknowledge my mistakes. I know that I was at wrong.\"
\"Correct it.\" ,Jimmy said, \"Try to learn how to split your concentration in the middle of the work. But at the same time, you should not lose your focus from your primary objective no matter what kind of distraction your opponent forced you into. Because this split distraction might prove lethal.\"
\"I understand.\" ,Rick replied, \"Next time I will make sure taht I won't repeat the same mistake twice.\"
\"Don't let this issue worry you too much.\" ,Jimmy said, \"Remember why we came here in the first place. We were supposed to go to the God Realm. But we postponed our plans for the future. If we need to survive in the God Realm, then we need to hone our fighting skills to terrifying level. Or else, we won't survive in the God or Celestial Realm with our shallow cultivation.\"
Rick nodded his head. But the six Pavilion Lords were in aghast. This is the first time for them hearing the true reason why Jiimy chose to cultivate in the War Realm. So, it was only to develop their combat powers so that they could survive in the God Realm. That means, they are preparing themselves in the War Realm. Once they were good enough, they will go to the God Realm.
No wonder why they came to the War Realm in the first place. Since their cultivation bases are too shallow, they had to stay in a subsidiary realm like the War Realm until they had the power to survive in the God Realm.
Jimmy said, \"Even though we won the war today, but this is not the end. In fact, this is just the beginning. These Bandits wanted to conquer the city before it falls in the hands of the other cities. So they attacked on impulse. And most importantly, they have deeply underestimated our strength. Since our army strength has fallen to just 20%, they were fully confident that our city's administration and defence is in total chaos. So they could seize this moment and attack before someone else capture it.\"
Everyone became serious. Because it was definitely the case. They were so happy with the victory that they didn't consider the situation more thoroughly. But after hearing from Jimmy, they started to analyse the situation more thoroughly.
Jimmy continued, \"They have underestimated us. You tell me, after knowing the situation of our city, it was an ideal time to capture it. But no other City made their move yet. But these bandits became our first opponent from whom we had to defend the city. Tell me then. Why didn't the other city made their move when our city suddenly became a candy to swallow?\"
\"They want to understand the situation in the city first.\" ,Sitaram said, \" They were waiting for the information. Only once they have considerable amount of info on us, they will decide whether it was time to make their move on us or not. Until then they don't dare to take the risk. Without knowing the strength and weakness of our city, they won't make their move.\"
\"That's right.\" ,Jimmy said, \"And today we gave them some info on our strength. Since the news will spread to the other city that we have the capabilities to defeat the five thousand bandits with just two hundred people, they will re-evaluate the defence of our city. Most importantly, we clean sweeped them. We defeated five thousand bandits with just two hundred soldiers and yet we didn't take any damage. They will hesitate after learning this news. That means, they will wait patiently.\"
Jimmy continued, \"They will attack. But first they will watch us for some period of time. They won't attack us on impulse like those bandits did. And this time is very precious for us. We will get ample time for preparation. And we need to speed up the Resonance Steel Mining. We need to give those Lifestyle Masters as many Resonane Steel as possible. We will grab this small hesitation from our opponents and prepare as many combat constructs as possible.\"
\"That means it still came down to the Resonance Steel.\" ,Bill asked in derious tone.
\"That's right.\" ,Jimmy said, \"Please use your influence in the public and try to recruit more people for the mining purposes.\"
\"Don't worry, Brother!\" ,Andrew said, \"Leave it to us.\"
\"Thank you.\" ,Jimmy said, \"We need to furthur improve our army. We can't always depend on the strength of constructs. We might win at the beginning. But one day a powerful opponent will figure out the secret or weakness of the construct. Especislly if the construct has fallen in the hands of the opponent. It will give them the scope to study the construct. If they managed to understand the mechanism behind the constructs, then it will give them the scope to mass produce the construct. It will add another level of strength for them as their defence would reach a new height.\"
\"So, we need to recruit new talents.\" ,Fidel thought for a moment and asked, \"Then what do you propose, brother?\"
Everyone looked at Jimmy. The Six Pavilion Lords knew that in terms of decision making they fade too much compared to Jimmy. So they decided to depend on Jimmy. Since he is very good in this aspect, why don't they depend on him?
