Chapter 72 - The Dog Teaching the Lizard (Part 2)
"Lu... Commander Lu, the Beastmaster Tower has just informed us that you're now in charge of all matters related to the spiritual energy revival in Green Sea City!"
Lu Ran ended the call with Fang Lan and turned to face Officer Luo, who was approaching him. He hadn’t expected Dr. Gu to act so quickly. It also felt unreal that such an important responsibility had been assigned to him. Yet, in these extraordinary times, the Xia Empire was so vast that not even a third-generation beastmaster could be spared for Green Sea City. This was the only option.
Desperate times called for desperate measures, and in this era of rapid change, capable young beastmasters like Dr. Gu could swiftly rise to prominence.
"Alright. Let’s work together and give it our all!" Lu Ran said decisively.
"Awaiting your orders!" Luo Shang replied. He suddenly felt reassured, convinced that entrusting Lu Ran with the responsibility had been the right decision.
Many cities were entangled in violent conflicts with highly evolved creatures, often with tragic and devastating outcomes. In contrast, thanks to Lu Ran's involvement, Green Sea City remained relatively calm. Such tranquility was a rarity, observed only in major cities where high-level beastmasters had gathered.
"I’ve already sent crows out to scout the city for highly evolved creatures," Lu Ran continued. "You need to cooperate with their search. If the creatures haven’t harmed anyone, monitor them first without alarming them and notify me immediately."
"The wild animals in Green Sea City are mostly concentrated around Emerald Mountain. Focus the search there, but our priority should be the urban regions with the densest populations. Even an evolved mouse can trigger a major incident. We need more personnel to protect the civilians. If any evolved creatures show signs of aggression toward humans, they must be eliminated immediately."
"Additionally, there are plenty of livestock in the rural areas, which are also being severely affected. We can’t overlook them. Hold on—I'll speak to the one-eared white cat and have it mobilize the controllable transcendent stray cats across the city for you to command."
"There should also be quite a few fourth-generation beastmasters in Green Sea City. Most of them likely haven’t joined the alliance yet and are still students. Find those with some prior experience and organize them into teams. Encourage them to volunteer and help handle less complex situations in the city. Even as newcomers, their familiars should be powerful enough to deal with most transcendent creatures. That said, make sure they’re compensated for their efforts."
Lu Ran issued a long string of orders.
