Chapter 741: Wargames
Due to Yimings enthusiasm, Sage asked Yating to include a new training path into the Lang Clan. Once she mentioned it, he realized it was something hed once wished for in the past, but had never had anyone to trust at the time. That being the position of commanders for the Dragoons. When hed first created the Hoplites, he recruited human mercenaries, former bandits, and anyone else he could get to give leadership to the chronically dull and simple-minded creatures. Insects in the shape of humans made for great soldiers, combining the selfless ferocity of an insect willing to sacrifice itself for its species with a human form so they could wield human weapons and wear human armor. After being betrayed, Sage ditched the human leaders and created the Dragoons with more advanced pre-programmed memories so they could lead themselves. Yet, it was far from an ideal solution. The Dragoons didnt need squad commanders for every ten like the Hoplites worked best with, but they would still benefit from leadership.
Especially since Sage now had the Purple Mist Sect as his own personal force. The Purple Mist Sect was not actually a part of the Lang Clan and as their sect leader, they answered directly to Sage. This was also one of the reasons he felt confident in handing over leadership of the Lang Clan to his son. He also had no qualms giving control of the Dragoons to the clan. Of course, he didnt bother to alter them, and they were left with their ultimate loyalty to him. All it took was giving them all a command to obey the commands of the clan. It was a little more difficult than that, as he made it so the command was also something that would be passed down in their ancestral memories and save him from more trouble later. The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.
The actual number of Dragoons was set to stay at a fixed number. They could reproduce amazingly quickly, but Sage didnt want them to completely consume the whole insect continent so if he didnt cap their numbers they would consume too many of the natural resources. Because of this restriction, they used a performance based system and only those with the greatest abilities were allowed to reproduce. Since this was already a pretty tragic system, Sage didnt feel bad implementing a set of wargames. For the Lang Clan members that wished to become commanders, they would be given a number of Dragoons to command. Those that performed well would be promoted to gain control over larger and larger numbers of troops.
These new commanders could then campaign against the wild insects and very rarely against each other. To be clear, only their troops would go into battle against each other, Sage truly hated that practice of encouraging clan members to compete directly and form animosity. It was already enough to have them compete against set tasks to earn resources, they didnt need to actively encourage them to be in opposition.
When Sage heard of this idea, he helped push it through and told Yihan all he knew about different schooling systems back on earth. He told her about standardized testing, public and private schools, class scheduling, and anything else he could think of. He also touched on some of the differences between different countries he could remember, like having a homeroom, uniforms, student governments, or other such things. The main thing he felt important was that focusing different amounts of time on different things would be a simple way to encourage growth of the clan in specific directions. This led to the common practice of providing a basic generalized education before letting students choose their own paths. Sage somewhat agreed, but they could choose what they considered basic, which meant a great focus on martial prowess and cultivation level.
It wasnt that he didnt believe in the classical studies of language, literacy, mathematics, science, history, etc. It was actually because becoming a cultivator greatly expanded not just the body, but the mind and also increased lifespans. While they would get a taste of everything in the younger years, it was much better if they maximized their lifespans and intelligence first. It was far more productive to have them spend fifty years training hard to advance to rank three. Each advancement in rank more than doubled their max lifespan, so that fifty year investment meant they could live anywhere from 500 to 1000 years. At that point, they had plenty of time to study and learn whatever they liked. It was also at this rank that nearly every cultivator would have an eidetic memory.
Even so, they didnt want their clan members to be idiots with no understanding of how the world works. They devised a plan with a few hours of more generalized education spread out through the day as breaks from the intense physical training and cultivation practice. Along with the general school, there would be a Clan University for those at the third rank and above to learn more specialized knowledge and training. This is where they would train and select those to join the research institute and the commander academy. It was also a perfect place to put the more advanced techniques that had been developed by Sages children to form different paths. The general path would be available in the school, but the higher techniques required a little barrier of entry, and attending a higher school was a fitting choice.
Ahh, the clan is finally starting to build momentum without me!
