章 321: Your King [2/2]

"I don't hold it against you, Joshua, far from it. You all just wanted jobs and I happened to need people, that is all. You are neither slaves nor meat shields. My war has nothing to do with you."

"But."

"The LLG will operate without me. The 2nd and 3rd squads all have the power to do so. With these two new groups, you would have enough to form a pseudo battlefront. I also have enough weapons for future squads, so your mind can be at peace."

"Commander! If you were to die, it would be a huge blow to our forces! You are our leader! Our king! If we lose you, it will all be for nothing!"

"Your king, huh?"

Technically, society needed kings to lead it. This was the next evolution of the typical tribal chief. While I was against such an undesirable position, having the power of a kingdom at my back would definitely help me in the wars to come.
