On the second day, the documents Kant instructed reached Bundak's home.
After seeing the result, Bandak rushed to the barracks in doubt. Within today, he will not only announce the candidate for the new commander, but also inform every soldier about the upcoming expedition.
During the routine assembly, Bandak stood on the main platform and said to the soldiers below: "Today will be the first day of the new commander's inauguration—the new commander Derrick!! He will lead the troops with me Conquer the Lizardmen and Gnolls!"
Derrick stood beside the commander's platform, even though he had been known before that he was the new commander chosen by the lord. But at the moment his mind was still blank.
When he was invited by Bandak to give a speech in front of the main stage, his eyes were almost red: "I believe that I will lead everyone well, and I hope everyone can respond to me immediately."
Cheers and approval came from the soldiers in the audience. The soldiers under Derrick's command even rushed to the stage to congratulate Derrick after the assembly was over.
Bandak nodded, but didn't go over to say anything immediately. Instead, he confessed to the officer on the side and counted the number of people with combat power in the army.
After the people around Derrick dispersed, Bandak stepped forward and extended his hand to him: "Congratulations, we will be at the same level from now on."
Derrick lowered his head and held his hand humbly, with tears in his eyes. Seems to be too excited to speak.
Bandak carefully asked him if he knew the responsibilities of the commander, and immediately handed over some powers and responsibilities to Derrick in front of the soldiers in the army.
"The commander appointed you as the commander-in-chief among the three. I hope you can fulfill his expectations well." Bandak said at the end.
"I will definitely work hard to gain recognition." Derrick promised that he was only twenty-one years old, but he shouldered responsibilities ten times heavier than his peers.
Bundak nodded, then turned and left.
After leaving the barracks, Bandak took the roster handed over to him by the officers below and went to the palace.
After some greetings, Bandak handed over the roster to Kant, and the army would count the number of soldiers available for battle every month and hand it over.
It's just that they will be going out to fight this month, so the date of submitting the roster has been moved forward for a while.
"Yeah." Kant took over the roster and started flipping through it.
But Bundak always sat aside, watching him quietly.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Kant stopped checking and looked up at Bundak.
Bandak heard Lord Kant's sudden question, and said with some hesitation: "Lord, the candidate for the new president this time."
"By the way." Only then did Kant recall the matter of approval yesterday, and said to Bundak, "I'm sorry, the person you recommended is not used."
"No, no, it's nothing to do with it." Bandak denied it hastily.
Bandak was just curious about Derrick being the new leader, so what kind of brilliance does he have in Kant's heart.
After all, under Bundak's observation, Derrick only treats people with humility and gentleness.
After listening to Bandak's thoughts, Kant asked, "What kind of country do you think Dherim is now?"
"Huh?" Bandak didn't expect to be asked, and after thinking about it, he replied: "Growing period?"
"Yes." Kant affirmed: "The current situation in Dherim is a country in the middle of development that has reached a new level. Under such a background, the person who wants to have a gentle personality like Derrick is the best. It can calm the dissatisfaction and resentment in everyone's heart, and it is the same in the army. During this stage, people are more than what they want, and they are more than enough. Because of people's greed and desire, they will also change their attitude towards things around them. They are very sensitive. And a leader like Derrick will let them know how to be content at all times."
After hearing these words, Bandak hesitated and said, "However, when I asked him, he didn't seem to have the confidence to occupy the position of commander."
Kant nodded at first, and then said: "I read the information you gave me. He has only been in the army for two years. However, he has been promoted to the position of a senior officer, which proves that his learning ability is indeed very strong. Don't feel confident. It is part of his own personality, and he may not be confident in the future. He will often doubt himself or something, but I think such a person is suitable as a leader. Only when he doubts himself will he listen to others when making decisions His opinion will not force his team to a dead end."
Bandak was finally convinced by Kant's words. I haven't had time to praise Kant's thoughtfulness.
I heard Kant jokingly say: "Actually, I can guess that you will choose Portlem. He is too similar to you before. His temperament, strengths, etc. are almost carved out of the same mold. The same is true for Bill, and Pem is also very similar. I don't want to read your growth history again, and choosing Derrick is a last resort."
Bandak froze in place, wanting to say something, but he was powerless to refute.
After confirming the candidate for the new commander, the entire army officially entered the pre-war preparations.
Before that, some soldiers came back from the battlefield of the Elven Kingdom, and many recruits came to them to ask about the details of the Elven Kingdom and so on.
Bandak joined the training team in the previous battle. He suffered a lot of tendon and bone trauma. There will be another big battle soon, and you must be fully prepared before that.
Although Bandak has been out of the regular training of the army for a long time, he can still often get the first place in training tasks.
Surprised the other soldiers.
"I'm not happy if you give me water like this again." Bandak said jokingly.
Seeing the fierce light flashing in Bandak's eyes, all the young soldiers couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. This is not a joke with them, it is a warning to them to improve their training progress.
All soldiers began to train hard.
"Compared with the real battlefield, what you are going through now is far from it." Bandak shouted from the commander's platform.
Finally, on the day of the expedition, Kant still led the guards in the palace to send them outside the city gate.
"Lord, since the expeditions are so frequent, you don't have to come to see us off every time." Bandak suggested.
"No, the more times I play, the more I should arrive every time." Kant replied with a smile.
Bandak also laughed, and after squatting down and saluting, he got on the back of the camel.
