Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Lin Mo stood in front of the brand-new government office that had risen from the ground.

Blue bricks and gray tiles, flying eaves and upturned corners.

The two ferocious beast statues at the entrance give the entire building an aura of authority that says, "No unauthorized personnel allowed, trespassers will be killed."

The three large characters "Zhenwu Si" on the plaque are written with vigorous strokes, exuding a solemn and murderous aura.

Lin Mo pushed open the two heavy, black lacquered doors.

Inside the gate was a spacious training ground.

The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and there are weapon racks and wooden dummy stakes on both sides.

The main building facing the gate has three floors and a plaque that reads "A Clear Mirror Hangs High".

Passing through the main building, you'll find layers upon layers of courtyards behind it.

It has everything: archives, interrogation rooms, prison cells, and dormitories.

The layout is meticulous and complete.

With a thought, Lin Mo brought up the Zhenwu Division's control panel.

[Architecture]: Zhenwu Division

[Commander]: None available

[Effect]: None yet (unlocked after appointing a commander).

Number of participants: 0/500

[Executable]: Citywide patrol, targeted arrests, intelligence gathering, and prison interrogation.

[Available to recruit]: Zhen'an Guard (100 Hegemony Points/person)

【Zhen'an Guard】: The exclusive guard of the Zhenwu Division, proficient in street fighting, tracking, and interrogation, possessing a natural deterrent effect on criminals.

"Not bad, not bad."

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction.

"It functions much like the Town Guard in Blackwind City, but it's significantly larger."

"The maximum number of people that can be recruited has also been increased from one hundred to five hundred."

"That makes sense, after all, Iron Wall Pass has a much larger population and area than Black Wind City."

"The recruited troops have also changed from the Flying Fish Guard to the Zhen'an Guard, which sounds more professional and relevant."

Lin Mo's gaze finally fell on the recruitment price.

"One hundred Hegemony Points each, five hundred... that's fifty thousand Hegemony Points."

"This expense..."

Lin Mo clicked his tongue, feeling a pang of regret.

But as painful as it may be, this team is a must.

Relying on the Xuanjia Army to maintain order will inevitably lead to a decline in public support.

"Professional tasks should be left to professional personnel."

"recruit!"

[Would you like to spend 50000 Hegemony Points to recruit 500 "Zhen'an Guards"?]

"yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, five hundred points of light appeared out of thin air on the training ground.

As the light faded, five hundred figures appeared in perfect unison before Lin Mo, instantly filling the entire training ground.

They were dressed in uniform dark blue outfits, with light black iron armor covering their shoulders, wrists, and legs.

He had a black iron sword at his waist and a small "riot control crossbow" strapped to his arm.

It ensures both agility and sufficient deterrence.

This appearance is much more righteous than the imperial guards dressed in flying fish robes.

What surprised Lin Mo even more was that 300 of the 500 people were women.

At the very front of the line, a tall woman stepped out.

She had delicate features and a cold demeanor. She knelt on one knee and clasped her hands in a gesture of respect to Lin Mo.

"Commander of Zhen'an Guard, Leng Yuan, greets your lord!"

The voice was crisp and efficient.

Lin Mo raised his hand to help her up and began assigning tasks.

"From today onwards, you are the order of Iron Wall Pass. Your mission is to patrol and enforce the law."

"When you encounter someone who breaks the law or violates regulations, arrest them if necessary, detain them if necessary, and act according to the rules. But remember, you are not butchers, you are guardians."

Lin Mo pointed to the desolate street outside.

"The city is mostly made up of ordinary people who need help. If they encounter difficulties, you should help them. If they are wronged, you should intervene."

"Furthermore, spread the word that all the people who were robbed of their money and food last night can go to the East Gate Square, register with the person in charge, and receive double the amount back."

"The Xuanjia Army is the sword I use to kill my enemies, and you are the shield I use to protect this city. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood!"

Leng Yuan readily agreed.

"Punish evil, but also promote good."

"Very good, go ahead."

"yes!"

Leng Yuan turned around and waved her hand, and the five hundred Zhen'an Guards immediately transformed into fifty ten-person squads.

They poured out of the Zhenwusi gate and headed to every corner of Tiebiguan.

Soon, the scene on Tiebiguan Street changed.

The heavily armored Xuanjia soldiers, reeking of blood, retreated like a tide, disappearing from sight.

Instead, there were squads of Zhen'an Guards dressed in dark blue uniforms, moving swiftly.

People peeked through the crack in the door at these new faces and were still terrified, barely daring to breathe.

But gradually, they discovered the differences.

A lame thug, still harboring thieving intentions, tried to steal a woman's purse amidst the chaos.

But as soon as he reached out, two Zhen'an guards suddenly appeared from the alley next to him.

Two crisp "crack" sounds were heard.

The thug's arms were disarmed by the town's security guards, and his hands were tied behind his back and locked in shackles. He was dragged away screaming.

The whole process was clean and efficient, without any bloodshed, and unlike last night, there was no hand-chopping.

Another street corner.

An old man selling charcoal accidentally overturned his cart, and black charcoal chunks rolled all over the ground.

The old man was sweating profusely and at a loss for what to do.

A patrol team from the town's security forces passed by and, without saying a word, stepped forward to help the old man pick up the charcoal pieces one by one and put them back on his vehicle.

After arranging them neatly, he turned around and continued his patrol without saying another word.

Such scenes are constantly playing out throughout the city.

The Zhen'an Guards arrested those incorrigible thugs and hooligans, imprisoning them in the Zhenwu Division's jail.

On the one hand, they are helping people solve all sorts of trivial matters.

Slowly, some people tentatively opened their doors.

Immediately afterwards, more and more people came out of the house.

People finally reappeared on the streets.

Although people are still proceeding with extreme caution, the deathly silence that has enveloped the entire city is being broken little by little.

In Lin Mo's mind, watching the streets gradually regain their vitality, he brought up the control panel again.

[Public sentiment]: 15 (There is some unease... but people are beginning to observe this new development at Iron Wall Pass.)

Public sentiment began to stabilize and recover.

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that those 50,000 Hegemony Points were not wasted.

However, another problem remains.

The position of chief officer of the Zhenwu Division remains vacant.

Many key functions and effects can only be activated after the leader takes office.

He couldn't keep giving Leng Yuan orders in person forever.

He needs a manager like Feng Niang, who can stand alone and oversee the whole situation.

But where can one find such an all-around talent in this unfamiliar place of Tiebi Pass?

Both loyalty and competence must be present.

Lin Mo rubbed his temples, subconsciously focusing his attention on the panel, on the gray humanoid frame that represented the [Commander].

"We can't just spend money to pull one like in a game, can we..."

Lin Mo murmured softly.

Sudden.

【Ding! 】

A crisp notification sound rang in his mind.

No suitable candidate was detected in the host relationship network.

[Would you like to consume 1000 Hegemony Points to search for a suitable candidate for "Chief of the Zhenwu Division" within the territory of "Iron Wall Pass"?]

Lin Mo stopped moving.

"What the hell?"

"You can do that?"

"The system... comes with a built-in headhunting function? A talent radar?"

When I'm feeling sleepy, someone brings me a pillow, and it's even made of latex.

"Yes, search, immediately, right now!"

Lin Mo confirmed without hesitation.
