Kapitel 1135: 1135 Legion Officer

Max looked at the aging soldier with amusement. "You know, in my culture, those who are too cowardly to step forward in times of war are considered unfit to lead others in times of peace."

Gregory smiled back at Max and shook his head. "Ever since we hid here, it's been a time of peace. We are only today finding out who is a coward when threatened, but wasn't during the easy times. The soldiers of the Golden Legion pride themselves on their courage and honour, but there hasn't been a real chance for them to prove it in generations.

Give Lieutenant Willis a chance, he's got some brains, and while he might not be courageous enough to be the first into no man's land, he still led us this far, and he didn't abandon his duties during the fight in the city."

The old guard stopped and took in Max's face. "That was a test, wasn't it? To see if I thought that he was worthy as a Commander, or if you should call someone else to take his place."
