"I" Potlem reviewed the reactions of the other two. Slowly raised his hand.
Bandak set his sights on this young man who was only twenty-three years old.
I thought to myself: This kid reacts quite quickly. The lord should prefer such a person to be the leader.
Looking at his square face, Bandak suddenly recalled that in the battle with the undead, among the soldiers who helped him break out from the undead knights, there seemed to be this young man.
"What about the other two?" Bundak asked again.
Derrick and Bill frowned, and after a while, Derrick replied: "I think it's better for me to be like this now."
"Won't you want to improve?" Bandak said.
Derrick shook his head, and introduced that he was in charge of logistics supply and demand management, cleaning the battlefield and so on. The experience on the battlefield is not comparable to that of other officers.
"Where's Bill?" Bundak nodded as if he understood. Then he asked the officer sitting in the middle.
Sweat broke out on Bill's forehead, and he finally exhaled: "I also don't think I'm very suitable. Officer Portlem has done a lot in this area, and I think he is very suitable to command the position you mentioned. .”
"Well." After listening to everyone's answers, Bandak replied thoughtfully: "This time, a candidate for the new commander will be selected from among you. But this matter should be decided by the lord in the end. Remember to be more prepared, any one of you may be named as the commander at any time."
"Yes!" The three officers responded in unison.
... ... ...
After Kant read the letters sent from the kingdom of the dead, he carefully wrote a reply on the letter paper.
The troops stationed in the City of the Undead reported to him the number of remaining Undead tribesmen, and wrote a letter suggesting exile.
However, Kant still ordered in his reply: euthanasia for all undead soldiers.
He didn't want to see a second kingdom of the dead popping up out of nowhere one day.
This campaign is to preserve the absolute autonomy of Dherim in the Nalun Desert. Don't have to worry about the infestation of the undead from time to time.
For these powerful undead warriors, Kant would not think of showing mercy.
As dusk approached, Kant thought that he had asked someone to summon Bundak to enter the palace at this time. After ordering his attendants to greet him, Kant drank afternoon tea in the dining hall.
Now Dherim is developing smoothly, despite all the ups and downs before. But now it has begun to take shape of a powerful empire.
As the lord, Kant also relaxed his mind and made plans for the future of Dherim.
"Lord, Commander Bundak has arrived." An attendant walked into the door and announced.
"Okay." Kant came back to his senses in his imagination. After taking off the napkin and wiping his hands with a wet towel, he walked back to the Senate Hall.
"Lord." Bandak walked up to him and saluted.
Kant helped him up, and cheerfully asked about the recent situation: "In the past few days, I heard that you followed other soldiers to visit the families of the soldiers who died on the battlefield?"
"Well, although killing and wounding on the battlefield is inevitable. But as a commander, it is inevitable for me to let the soldiers die." Bandak replied.
"If you have such a mind, your soldiers will definitely be able to follow you without any scruples." Kant commented.
Bandak shook his head silently.
"Speaking of which, have you found any soldiers who will be preliminarily selected as the commander?" Kant sat back in his seat, looked at Bandak and asked, "I heard that you named several people when you returned to the barracks today. Woolen cloth."
Bandak said with a smile: "The three people I named all performed quite well in this campaign, but it still takes a period of training and observation to become a commander."
Kant nodded: "As long as you have a solid understanding of this matter, after selecting candidates, report to me. I can then give them official positions."
"In order to become a competent leader in the lord's mind, we still need to carefully consider it." Bandak replied.
"This time can't be delayed for too long." Kant shook his head, raised three fingers and said, "There can only be a maximum of three weeks for consideration."
"Three weeks?!" Kant's reply made Bundak a little unexpected, and then asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"The news from Cumberland says that the Lizardmen and Wolfmen have frequently harassed its border recently." Kant elaborated: "The Elf King is discussing with me to send troops to attack the Lizardmen and Wolfmen. At that time, a large number of troops will definitely need to be eliminated. In addition to you, a new commander is needed as the leader."
After listening to Kant's words, Bundak frowned, and immediately responded: "I didn't expect that Cumberland would be so abused just after it was newly built."
"The elf country has already formulated a battle plan based on the terrain." Kant continued: "The elf country's response is so fast this time, which really surprised me."
"What about the time? When are we going to the country of elves?" Bandak asked anxiously.
"Probably still more than a month from now. So the arrangements in the military must be made as soon as possible." Kan De said earnestly.
Bandak nodded solemnly, then bid farewell to Kant and walked out of the palace.
It took only three weeks to select a new leader for him.
These days, Bundak ran more frequently into the barracks.
All the soldiers in the army were surprised that the commander seemed to be the first person to arrive at the training ground every day.
In order not to appear lazy in front of the commander, the entire army gathered a lot earlier than usual every morning.
When Bundak was training the soldiers, he sat on the commander's platform and supervised the training of the people while observing the team of three who had been named before.
After several days of observation, Bundak silently commented on the three of them.
Derrick treated his soldiers very carefully as he usually did. But such a person is still not enough deterrent as a leader.
Bill is a standard competent military officer, thinking of doing everything well. On the whole, he is somewhat similar to Pem when he was young, and has strong leadership skills.
For Portlem, who is the most active commander, he has a very active mind, which can be seen in his daily requirements for the soldiers, and he is very confident, revealing a unique leadership temperament among the crowd.
After reviewing the past qualifications of the three people, Bundak finally reported Potlem's name to Kant, and carefully wrote down his own considerations in the submitted copy. After all, this is a new command.
