The Demonic World I designed

Chapter 1118: Chapter 1114: The Flaws of the Western Sea Army!

“Mr. Shen, you are indeed calculative…”

In response to Tian Heng’s words, Shen Er did not retort but smiled and said, “Fortune and glory come with risks. My Shen Family has done such things before. Back then, allying with Chen Qing was a gamble. We handed over all our resources and ceded full control to Chen Qing, which is why we have our current scale.”

“Our lord has already been generous enough to General Tian. The naval resources of the West Sea Dragon Palace were given to you, not to Xuu Hu. With this alone, you ought to see the sincerity. But now… is General Tian only planning to maintain the status quo, unwilling to take one bold leap?”

Hearing this, Tian Heng slowly closed his eyes. Indeed, he was at a bottleneck, and this was precisely why he had voluntarily gone to Yundu to rescue Chen Qing. He needed significant military achievements to push his ceiling higher. The other two Gods of Battle had already been selected. If things remained unchanged on his end, he wouldn’t even think about surpassing Xuu Hu; he might even be overtaken by the other Gods of Battle.

As Shen Er had said, anyone who enlists in the military aims for a brighter future. The people of Jiangnan live stable lives. For those merely seeking subsistence, there are plenty of other professions. But enlisting means striving for a better tomorrow. Yet, the Western Sea Army had been criticized lately for its lack of upward mobility.

If this problem was not resolved, the Western Sea Army would always remain a hereditary force, and over time, it might even prompt suspicion from the lord…

“What kind of benefits can Mr. Shen promise?” Tian Heng asked after thinking it through, letting out a sigh.

“I knew General Tian was someone who could see the bigger picture…” Shen Er smiled and said, “Based on the current military ranking system, the higher the rank, the better the benefits posthumously. One can become a Shadow Soldier in the Netherworld, and their rank increases by one level, doubling their salary. As for the Power of Faith, you can rest assured. My Shen Family has the capacity to provide as much as is needed, guaranteeing ample resources and benefits. Surely, the advantages of becoming a Shadow Soldier ought to be clear to everyone, correct?”
