[X] Plan: Triage Turn
-[X] Man the Council properly -[X] Deploy her to the Scorpion Road --[X] We cannot afford Jingshen to think they can claim the road, we cannot afford for them to even dream it until we are back on our feet. To that end, it is critical that we ensure the cost for doing so is daunting. Yao Zhihao taking twenty years to stabilize her cultivation in Pleuron? Openly doing... Whatever it is she does while touring the road? It's a statement... Most importantly, it reinforces how our support led to the rise of a new Righteous Nascent Soul, and binds Jingshen from pulling a fast one, lest they be the aggressor in an inter-Righteous clash. -[X] Building Bridges (Strength Purity Sect) --[X] It could be said that you and the Strength Purity Sect have something of an... Understanding. The Golden Devils have done much to contain the threat of the Battle Blood Cannibal Sect, and serve as a valuable pressure release valve against the Devil Bee Sect, preventing them from reaching critical mass and overwhelming the Verdant South. The last thing they would desire right now is to a potential containment breach while their full attention is on the Ninth Demon Annihilation War, and this is a very real risk at the moment. Most importantly, the support of the Golden Devils has returned a Righteous Nascent Soul to the field and provides sanctuary while they acclimated to their new abilities, and that is no small thing given the intensity of the current War. See if something can be worked out with them to help... Massage the current risks into one that maintains stability in an unstable time. -[X] Hire Core Formation (5 Wealth per turn for 3 turns)
--[X] We cannot afford to do less. This is the prime time for banditry to rise--and all the world knows it. Our easy hand on our subordinates is an investment for times of need such as this--and this allows us to maintain internal security while we re-establish our footing. The survival of our Foundation Establishment experts does much to ensure that we ultimately only require occasional intervention.
