Chapter 666: Selection of the New Commander
“I…” After reviewing the reactions of the other two people, Portlem slowly raised his hand.
Bunduk turned his gaze to the young man, who was only twenty-three years old.
He thought to himself, this kid’s reaction is quite fast. The Lord would probably rather have such a person as a commander.
Looking at his square face, Bunduk suddenly recalled that in the battle with the undead, this young man seed to be one of the warriors who had helped him break out of the encirclent of the undead knights.
“What about the other two?” Bunduk asked again.
Derrick and Bill frowned. After a while, Derrick replied, “I think I’m more suited with what I’m doing for now.”
“Don’t you want to be promoted?” Bunduk asked.
Derrick shook his head and introduced himself as soone responsible for managing the supply and demand of logistics and cleaning up the battlefield. His experience on the battlefield couldn’t be compared to the other officers.
“What about Bill?” Bunduk seed to understand as he nodded. Then, he asked the officer sitting in the middle.
Beads of sweat appeared on Bill’s forehead. Finally, he exhaled and said, “I don’t think I’m suitable either. Officer Portlem has done a lot in this area. I think he’s much more suitable for the position you ntioned.”
“Alright.” After hearing everyone’s reply, Bunduk replied thoughtfully, “This ti, I want to choose a candidate from among you to be a new commander. However, this matter should be decided by the Lord in the end. Rember to make more preparations. You may na any one of you to take the position of commander at any ti.”
“Yes!” the three officers replied in unison.
…
After Kant finished reading the letter from the Undead Kingdom, he carefully wrote a reply to the letter.
The garrison of the Undead City reported to him the number of the remaining undead and wrote a proposal for exile.
However, Kant still ordered in the reply, “Euthanize all the undead soldiers.”
He did not want the second Undead Kingdom to appear out of nowhere one day.
The purpose of this expedition was to protect Drondheim’s absolute autonomy in the Nahrin Desert. He did not need to worry about the undead invading him from ti to ti.
Kant would not think of showing rcy to these powerful undead warriors.
As dusk approached, Kant recalled that he had sent soone to summon Bunduk to enter the palace at this ti. After instructing his attendants to welco him, Kant began to drink afternoon tea in the dining hall.
Right now, Drondheim’s developnt was rather smooth, despite having gone through all sorts of ups and downs. But now, it had already begun to take the shape of a strong and prosperous empire.
As a Lord, Kant also relaxed his state of mind, making plans for Drondheim’s future.
“Lord, Commander Bunduk has arrived,” an attendant entered the door and sent a ssage.
“Alright.” Kant ca back to his senses in his imagination. He took off his napkin, wiped his hands with a wet towel, and walked back to the Senate Hall.
“Lord.” Bunduk walked in front of him and bowed.
Kant helped him up and asked cheerfully, “During these few days of vacation, I heard that you followed other soldiers to visit the families of the soldiers who died on the battlefield?”
“Yes, although killing and injury are inevitable on the battlefield, as a commander, it is inevitable for to let the soldiers sacrifice themselves,” Bunduk replied.
“If you have such thoughts, your soldiers will definitely follow you without any scruples,” Kant comnted.
Bunduk shook his head silently.
“Speaking of which, have you found any soldiers for the commander selection?” Kant sat back in his seat, looked at Bunduk, and asked, “I heard that you called out the nas of several people when you returned to the military camp today.”
Bunduk smiled and said, “The three people that I called out all had outstanding performances in this expedition. However, to beco a Commander, you still need so ti to train and observe.”
Kant nodded. “It’s good that you have a clear idea of this matter. After selecting the candidates, report to . Then, I can give the order to bestow them with official positions.”
“In order to beco a competent commander candidate in the Lord’s mind, we still need to carefully consider it,” Bunduk replied.
“We can’t drag this out for too long.” Kant shook his head, raised three fingers, and said, “We can only have three weeks at most to consider.”
“Three weeks?!” Kant’s reply slightly surprised Bunduk, and he imdiately asked, “Why are you in such a hurry?”
“Cumberland sent a ssage saying that the lizardn and jackalans have been harassing their borders recently,” Kant explained. “The Elf King is discussing with when to send troops to attack the lizardn and jackalans. At that ti, we will definitely need to eliminate a large number of troops. In addition to you, we will also need a new commander as the commander.”
After hearing Kant’s words, Bunduk’s brows were tightly furrowed, and he imdiately replied, “I didn’t expect that Cumberland would be abused so badly right after it was newly established.”
“The Elf Kingdom has already completed the battle plan according to the terrain,” Kant continued, “The Elf Kingdom’s reaction this ti was so fast, it really surprised .”
“What about the ti? When are we going to the Elf Kingdom?” Bunduk asked anxiously.
“It’s about a month away from now. So the military must make arrangents as soon as possible,” Kant said earnestly.
Bunduk nodded solemnly. Then, he bade Kant farewell and walked out of the palace.
There were only three weeks left to select a new commander for him.
During these days, Bunduk ran more frequently to the barracks.
The soldiers in the army were all surprised that the commander seed to be the first person to arrive at the training ground every day.
In order to not appear lazy in front of the commander, the entire army gathered a lot earlier than usual in the morning.
When the soldiers were training, Bunduk sat on the main general stage to supervise the training while observing the three-man team that had been called out previously.
After days of observation, Bunduk silently comnted on each of the three n.
Derrick like he usually did, was very careful with his soldiers. However, such a person was still insufficient as a commander.
Bill was a standard competent officer, and he always thought that he had to do everything well. Overall, he was sowhat similar to Pam when he was young, and his leadership ability was also strong.
For Portlem, who was the most proactive in becoming a commander, his thinking was very active. This could be seen from his daily requirents for the soldiers. He was also very confident, exuding a unique leadership temperant in the crowd.
After checking the previous qualifications of these three people, Bunduk finally reported Portlem’s na to Kant. He also carefully wrote down his considerations in the docunt he submitted. After all, this was the new commander.
