Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1585: Chapter 897:

This would cause the total number of Saints to exceed the limit of fifty thousand, meaning Gu Hang cannot replace the seeds until the number of Saint warriors drops below fifty thousand.

But what does it matter? By then, seventy thousand warriors will be enough. Besides, new ones can always be upgraded.

Once the scale is up, the speed at which Interstellar Warriors increase isn’t actually that slow.

Of course, it needs to be well-managed.

In the past, Interstellar Warriors during the era of legions didn’t have any systems to use. They gradually managed and developed, and it grew to a scale of two hundred thousand, even to the Infinite Legion’s peak of three hundred and fifty thousand.

Some legions gradually became sparse in numbers, Gu Hang believed the main issue was with those legions themselves.

Either their commander, Son of God, was reckless, focusing on expeditions, seeking glory, charging aggressively, leading to significant casualties and difficulty in replenishment;

Or the genetic seed compatibility was too low, directly reflected in a significant drop in the success rate of genetic seed implantation surgery;

Or the legion was only good at fighting wars, not so much at development.

Oh, it’s also possible they have all three issues or two of them.

The Bat Legion has all three; the Blood Angels have the latter two; the Death Angels have the first two… in any case, they have some issues.

While the populous Infinite Legion and Saints Legion don’t possess any of these issues. Their genetic seed compatibility is high, their Son of God doesn’t crazily lead them into constant blood battles, and they are good at management and development. The Infinite Legion has managed its five hundred worlds prosperously, still being one of the wealthiest places in the Empire. The Saints may not be as politically and economically savvy, but their religious construction and management have their unique features, with Mercifat once supporting their vast legion numbers.

They can manage well, and Gu Hang, having such a strong foundation with an entire Alliance as backing, what’s there he can’t manage?

Under this thinking, the system’s provision of genetic seed exchange quantity seems more like a bottom-line mechanism.

If worst-case scenario, the legion suffered a devastating blow, then Gu Hang could spend Gift Points to quickly recruit forces, raising them to a basic line.

The resurgence would happen quickly.

But as long as he doesn’t bring things to that point, by maintaining normal operations, the lower limit of the bottom-line mechanism would raise, and at the same time, the upper limit brought by normal operations could be very high.

…

After reaching an agreement with Gu Hang, Raymond Vis even accepted the future supplement of new blood for the Saints from the Alliance’s Interstellar Warrior Training Center.

Of course, they also made requests: the Alliance still needs to respect the tradition of the battle groups.

Gu Hang instantly agreed to this.

According to the regulations of the Interstellar Warrior Management Association, the battle groups inherently have the right to propose requirements for new recruits to the New Blood Cultivation Center based on their needs.

These requirements generally aren’t related to strength. After all, the new blood produced by the cultivation centers are all quite excellent.

Mainly, it’s on cultural and background aspects. They might propose requirements like new blood must come from their home planet, be well-versed in battle group culture and history, comes from farmer families/Hunter families/noble descendants/ancestors served in military/orphans…

Even, most excessively, not only should the recruits be from their home planet, but the cultivation center must set up a branch on their home planet for the entire training process.

Of course, the management bureau can’t unconditionally compromise and agree to anything, it mainly depends on negotiations.

But generally speaking, allowing battle groups to ’customize’ new recruits greatly helps the Alliance when recapturing battle groups during the Dark Side Expedition and incorporating them.

And once incorporated, Gu Hang directly gains two thousand genetic seed slots. Leaving aside the thousand slots occupied by the incorporated battle groups, Gu Hang directly gets an extra thousand seed slots, equating to an additional battle group.

This newly formed battle group wouldn’t have any stipulations or demands.

Moreover, even if those incorporated battle groups have many stipulations, so what?

Battle groups can make demands on the New Blood Cultivation Center, that’s true, but there’s an unconditional, non-negotiable baseline: the training center must have a corresponding Loyal Heir Academy, and all Interstellar Warrior new blood must undergo training in the Loyal Heir Academy.

Essentially, this is Gu Hang spending Gift Points to train these Interstellar Warriors into commissars to ensure their loyalty.

Over time, as the proportion of new blood trained in the Loyal Heir Academy in these recaptured battle groups reaches a certain level, the group’s overall transformation and potential betrayal becomes obvious.

The same applies to the Saints.

As expected, Raymond Vis proposed many conditions for the Alliance nurturing new blood for them.

Gu Hang fully agreed to them.

A new Interstellar Warrior Training Center was established on True Word Star; the entire training process is conducted openly and transparently on True Word Star, with high willingness to employ veteran Saints Battle Group members as instructors.

The majority of new blood born from this cultivation center is selected from believer families on True Word Star. They mostly join the Saints Battle Group.

Another portion is recruited from other places within Mercifat Star Domain; they supplement into affiliated divisions of the Saints.

Of course, they are all not at full capacity.

When they arrived, they were incomplete, let alone after experiencing decades of brutal warfare.

After decades of fighting, although new recruits kept being summoned and replenished into various battle groups, in reality, recruitment couldn’t keep up with the speed of consumption.

This is why, eventually and upon recapture, Gu Hang directly gains two thousand genetic seed slots. Leaving aside the thousand slots occupied by the recaptured battle groups, Gu Hang directly gets an extra thousand seed slots, equating to an additional battle group.

This newly formed battle group wouldn’t have any stipulations or demands.
