Chapter 218: Chapter 218: New Captain

"Dior, Ren, Zero will be your superior captain from now on. He is in charge of the two teams you previously lead. Show him respect and assist him as co-captains. And remember, no disobedience will be tolerated."

Inside a tent, Commander Zain spoke with Captains Dior, Ren, and Aengus on short notice.

Captains Dior and Ren, who appeared to be in their early 30s and had a friendly demeanor, looked at each other speechlessly, processing the news of a new dynamic in their ranks.

Captain Dior, having heard of Aengus's S-Rank status, accepted it readily, but Captain Ren seemed a bit reluctant.

"Welcome, Captain Zero. Former squad leader of Team 23 reporting," Captain Dior said, saluting, even though Aengus was younger than him.

Aengus nodded, appearing rather disinterested, which was simply his natural demeanor. "It's a pleasure to have you, Captain Dior," he replied, returning the greeting.
