Chapter 391: Chapter 391 – What’s Klein Smoking?
I walk out of the tent with a hazy look on .
Seeing , Lucian imdiately asked, “What happened?”
“We got our next mission.” I say absentmindedly.
“Another base?” I nod, “How many of them are left?”
“Only the one.”
Lucian’s face lit up at that. I couldn’t tell whether it was because the hunt for the bandit was about to end or was it that he missed seeing Margaret?
I wouldn’t put much on him if it was the second one. The guy’s love interest was out for almost four years before coming back with a fiancé and even then he couldn’t spend ti with her and was brought to a hunt.
Regardless of whether it was, the next words surely wouldn’t entertain him.
“Wear your armor, we’re going to fight.”
“Really? Klein gave you permission for that?”
“Of course, in fact he’s letting take the lead on this one.”
“Oh, that’s nic…” Lucian suddenly stopped and thought about it before screaming, “What!”
I don’t give his reaction a strange look. The sa happened to as I rember back.
[ Flashback Start ]
“Are you joking with ?” I ask.
“No, you are going to lead the next battle.” Klein said as he threw a parchnt at .
[ Flashback End ]
“You’re serious? Captain Klein really ordered you to lead?” Lucian asked, not believing it one bit.
“As much as it feels like a big illusion, it’s real.” I shake the parchnt to his face, “Even got authorization from Lord Seman.”
Lucian was about to grab it when I turned around and walked away, leaving him grumbling behind .
As I entered my tent, the soldiers and spy of what seed like my temporary group stood up.
“Prepare yourself, we’ll be joining the next fight.”
The spy raised his hand as I shrug, “If any of you have questions, ask Lucian.”
Lucian, suddenly being thrown under like that didn’t know what to say. He didn’t know anything under than what Henry said and that too only brought more questions.
“I’m going to need so ti, don’t disturb in the ti being.” I say and went into the bedroom and locked the door behind. The people outside all turning to Lucian and swinging questions at him.
‘What did I get myself into?’
anwhile, I sit down on the bed and think.
‘What is Klein playing at here? First, he makes sit still and now he wants to not only join but lead the whole damn thing!’
‘Is he crazy or did he finally lose his mind trying to find a way to teach sothing?’
I rember his face and shook at that thought, ‘No, he definitely didn’t seem troubled. In fact, he looked very confident… or that’s just the way he’s face is built.’
‘Damn, I wouldn’t want any poor girl to beco his wife with that cold face that calculates everything. She’ll probably feel herself overworking, trying to get a praising look while giving him a BJ.’
I shake my head again, ‘Going into stupid thoughts again. I need to get back in line and think about what to do now… well, not like I don’t know what to do, I had already done it back at Calvin’s place, I can do the sa here.’
‘But the problem is, unlike Calvin, Klein’s way of work was carefully planned and worked wondrous. While mines similar to Calvin, but a bit less sacrificial and more power heavy.’
I look at my hand and see the parchnt. Opening it, I read what there was.
By my order as the Lord Commander, I, Seman Gallacon, give permission to Henry Van Tax to temporarily have control over of Captain Klein Gantrow’s Army.
Only until the last bandit base has been captured or destroyed as the situation sees fit.
Signed,
Seman Gallacon
‘Well, this shit’s legit at least, unlike what’s Klein telling to face. Seriously, how does his mind work?’ I turn to another matter, ‘By the way the letter’s written, it seed Klein personally asked for this change.’
‘Then there’s the matter about Lucian too. Why did he suddenly get so interested in our relation that he personally tried to investigate it so openly?’
‘Does Lucian have a hand in this change or did Klein did so deliberately because of him? Is he trying to make fail here and let Lucian get control to make him look good to Seman?’
I shook my head at that, “No, that can’t be the case. Lucian was shocked when he heard the change and he wasn’t acting. While I also don’t believe Klein has any kind of relationship with Lucian to do this façade, yet I can’t put the thought out as well.”
“But I’m sure that there’s sothing he wants by making this change. Because if it plays out well, it’ll be all good for .”
Then my eyes widened as an idea ca, ‘Is that it? Does he want to look good and later use that to get so advantage out of ? With how calculating and cold that guy is, I can’t put it out of thought too… but this feels too good to b-‘
Suddenly, knocks ca from the door as I groan, “I said I’m busy, co later.”
“I’m sorry, sir.” One of the soldiers said from outside, “But they are here to greet you.”
“They? Who are you talking about?”
“All the n, sir.”
I raise a brow at that and get out. But I understand the guy’s weird way of saying as I look at all the n in the camp standing before in an orderly line.
Oppet, Klein’s second in command took two steps forwards and scread, “Attention!”
All the guys imdiately adopted the intended position by putting their chest and chin up, Arms and legs straight in a military fashion.
My confusion etched further. Gazing right, I see Klein get out of his tent, yet not showing any surprise at this. He just leaned on a tree while giving a cold look of expectance.
“Hagh… so this is what he wants then?” I slightly understand what Klein wanted from .
It was to ‘Grow Up’.
Well, I’ll show you how to grow up.
I straighten my back and nod at Oppet as he scread, “At Ease!”
With that, everyone took on a much more relaxed position.
“You n must be wondering what this is about, right?” They don’t give any curious looks, just straight prepared bodies.
“A letter ca from command today.” I show them the parchnt, “It says that the bandit king has finally gotten out of his cowardly hole and is going to attack Lord Commander.”
“In fact, he already is on his way and I’m sure it wouldn’t take long before he attacks the commander.”
A few heads turn but nobody says anything.
“But that is not important to us!” I say loudly, “What’s important is that, the commander has given temporarily authorization to mobilize this army as I see fit!”
It was this that made them turn heads and slightly murmur.
“Yet, just because your leader changed and the commander is in trouble doesn’t an that our objective has altered.” I say and really wanted to smoke a big cigar for dramatic effect.
“Our main objective has always been to rid ourselves of the bandits and we will do that. There’s one more of those retched places left and it falls onto to take care of it.”
“And I damn sure ain’t going to let myself or you guys fuck it up for !”
“So I ask for the first and final ti, will you all follow to battle?”
