Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 26: Marvin's New Chapter
Marvin had anticipated these refugees, but he did not expect that the White River Valley would attract so many refugees as soon as the catastrophe began.
The sudden increase of more than a thousand people put a lot of pressure on the Baihe Valley.
Although the twelve golden bulls provided a lot of food, the consumption became faster when the number of people increased exponentially.
Not to mention that the disaster has just begun. Marvin believes that in the days to come, more and more people will enter the White River Valley.
So in this new era, it's time to implement new rules.
Marvin thought about it, waved his pen, and a new order was immediately issued.
Soon, every resident of the White River Valley received orders personally issued by Lord Marvin.
During this extraordinary period, new rules are being implemented in the White River Valley Shelter .
From now on, all personnel must complete the registration within two days.
During registration, a very important option is: [Farming/Fighting].
That's right, Marvin didn't offer them any other careers besides these two options.
Because the White River Valley had already been fully recruited for other professions. Whether it was blacksmiths, brewers, or appraisers, these craftsmen had already filled the vacancies in the previous recruitment order.
And in this special period, these professions have become less important.
If a shelter wants to operate for a long time, it must have a constant supply of food and the power to protect the shelter.
Needless to say, the former is a headache for Marvin to feed so many refugees. As for the latter, if there is no human protection, no matter how powerful the Great Divine Art and the Great Prayer Art are, they will eventually be exhausted.
The location of the Baihe Valley seems to be excellent, but it is actually very close to the wilderness.
Before the disaster, everyone heard the roar of the Beast King in the depths of the wilderness.
It was an order calling for subordinates.
Once the Beast King decides to march into Fenan, the monsters in the wilderness are likely to rush out, and the White River Valley will be the first to bear the brunt.
Today, the high-end military forces in the Baihe Valley are very powerful, but the backbone forces are still lacking.
Marvin needed soldiers, lots of them.
They may not have strong individual combat capabilities, but with the compensation of numbers and coordination, and the improvement of equipment, they can fight against low-level armies in various dimensions.
This was also the reason why, before the disaster, he instructed Anna and others to recruit many retired veterans or officers of the Northern Elite Mercenary Group from many places such as Perch Harbor.
This is a long battle, and it is impossible for him to achieve the final victory alone.
…
He checked secretly and found that it was pretty much as he expected. This group of more than a thousand refugees were mostly humans, with some half-elves. But they all had one thing in common: they were all of strong and healthy age.
This is actually a very cruel fact: because the elderly, the weak, women and children were eliminated during the migration and disasters.
Only the youngest and strongest of a race can survive and reach the White River Valley.
But for Marvin, this is good news.
Not surprisingly, not many people would choose farming.
Putting aside their previous occupations, in the new shelter system announced by Marvin, combat professionals are obviously superior to farmers. They can get more food, meat and even beer, as well as priority in training; their work is also more flexible, and they only need to participate in hunting once a week.
Moreover, Marvin promised that anyone who chose to fight would not be thrown out of the shelter to fend for himself before being trained into a qualified fighter. This gave many people reassurance.
What's more, these hot-blooded young people have too many friends or relatives who have died at the hands of demonized monsters and demonized wizards.
They thirst for revenge.
They will fight.
…
Sure enough, it only took one day for a statistical table to be placed in front of Marvin.
“As you might expect, most of them chose to fight.”
Anna didn't look that happy: "To be honest, their courage is admirable, but we may not be able to support so many warriors."
"And we don't have that much equipment..."
Marvin blinked his eyes and said, "Don't worry, food and equipment will be available soon."
"Since they have made their choice, let them undergo the most basic militia training first."
"I have a copy of the New Chapter of the Sanctuary here. All the senior management of the White River Valley should come to a meeting tonight to improve it. If there are no problems, it will be released tomorrow."
The new chapter of Sanctuary was written by Marvin before the Cataclysm.
There is no doubt that extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.
The shelter provides life protection for everyone, but Marvin will never support these people in vain. Doing so will only make them lose their fighting spirit, and the White River Valley will be destroyed sooner or later.
This new chapter lists in detail the new monetary system, reward and punishment system, shelter rules, class divisions of the population, etc.
Marvin just wants to protect this land and these people, but that doesn't mean he will give everyone equal treatment and status.
Blind freedom and equality are actually unfair.
It is a simple truth that those who have not contributed should not get their share.
And each person plays a different role in the shelter, so their status will inevitably be different.
The purpose of dividing classes is, firstly, to facilitate management, and secondly, to motivate people at the lower levels to move up. After all, in a completely new context and system, people who work hard and make progress are likely to improve their status.
All in all, this new chapter of the shelter was written by Marvin after careful consideration.
It will determine the future direction of the White River Valley Shelter.
It will be the law of the future in the White River Valley!
The guarantee behind this law is Marvin's absolute personal force, his complete control over the shelter, and people's recognition of him.
…
In the evening, when everyone was gathered together, Anna explained the new chapter to everyone.
The senior executives of the White River Valley also expressed their own opinions, but Marvin's new chapter was indeed very thoughtful. After they added some details, they basically finalized the new chapter.
The next day, the new chapter was released, causing a sensation throughout the White River Valley.
After everyone read it, many voices of dissatisfaction suddenly erupted.
Especially regarding class classification.
This has caused dissatisfaction among many people, many of whom are refugees fleeing from various places.
"Why are the original residents of the White River Valley on the same level as those of us who risked our lives to fight? And those who came later who chose to farm are the lowest class?"
"Yeah, why can those people manage us?"
"Doesn't Lord Marvin advocate freedom and fairness? What's the difference between what he does and those high and mighty gods?"
