"The next step is to wait for approval," said Hasimodo.

"How long will it take?" Nora asked.

"It's hard to say." Hasimodo shook his head. "According to the process, it needs to be signed by the Military Procurement Department, the Financial Audit Department, the Legal Cooperation Department and the Morning Star Headquarters before it can be submitted to the Commander."

It’s been so long... Everyone thought to themselves.

However, lengthy procedures are a common problem for large companies and enterprises, and this is unavoidable. Thinking about the many items on the order, I suddenly felt that it was tolerable.

"Actually." As everyone left the material warehouse and walked toward the open space outside, Hasimodo said, "I don't think there will be any resistance from either the Military Procurement Department or the Financial Audit Department, because we raise the price for external transactions, and there is excess profit in it."

"For the Legal Audit Department, as long as there is no contract involved, this kind of on-the-spot transaction is fine."

"The more troublesome thing is Morning Star Headquarters, because I am your guarantor. If there is any problem with the transaction, Morning Star needs to bear joint liability. And our Knight Commander of Morning Star, Mr. Phoebus, is a shrewd person who is not easy to fool..."

"I didn't expect you had some taste, Hasimodo." A middle-aged man came over from the opposite side. He was wearing a power armor lining uniform, with meticulously combed shiny hair and a mustache. He looked quite mature and handsome.

Next to him was Claude, the former Knight Commander of the Morning Star Second Squad, who was looking at Hasimodo triumphantly.

"Sir Phoebus!" When Hasimodo saw the man, he quickly saluted.

"It's an informal occasion, no need to greet." Phoebus said lightly, turning his deep gaze over.

This Lord Phoebus is quite handsome! Nora thought with some surprise.

However, he is still not as good as my leader~

She turned her head to look at Ask's profile and couldn't help laughing at herself.

"Who is..." Phoebus asked slowly.

"Asker, the leader of the Azure Sword Mercenary Group." Hasimodo introduced hurriedly.

His tone was so serious that Claude couldn't help laughing.

"So it's the Blue Sword Mercenary Group. I've heard a lot about you." Claude sneered in a sarcastic tone.

That expression seemed to say, "Where did this rubbish mercenary group come from?"

Phoebus frowned quietly.

The reason he came here was because Claude reported to him that he suspected Hasimodo had obtained the spoils of his dead compatriots and lied that they were the spoils of his own team.

According to the rules of the Night's Watch, any knight who died in the Undead Mutation, if he had any spoils of war that had not yet been turned in, should have the quartermaster deposit them into the warehouse for settlement, and the full amount of the money should be sent to the victim's family as an additional supplement to the pension.

Therefore, secretly swallowing up the belongings of compatriots who died in battle is not only a serious violation of the rules of the Night's Watch, but also a great moral misdeed, a serious stain that will be condemned by thousands of people.

Phoebus knew something about Hasimodo of Team Three. Although this guy was always arrogant and not sociable among his colleagues, he still had a clear mind when it came to major issues and was unlikely to do such a despicable thing.
