Capítulo 30: Hidden Gems (3)

The supply base was located behind Linon Castle and was on the key road to the capital.

When supplies from the capital and the territories get here, they would be temporarily stored in this supply base and distributed to the various battlefields.

[Lunan Royal Army Supply Unit]

[Troops: 10,000]

[Training: 40]

The supply bases strength is 10,000 men, not many but it's not the only supply base here just another link in the entire supply chain.

Five thousand were the troops guarding the supply base.

The other 5,000 were the personnel who carried the supplies to the various fronts.

All the combat troops are about 5,000 or so.

The level of training was disastrous.

Inadequate training is practically a problem for the entire Lunan Kingdom Army.

There is no such thing as a properly trained unit, the vast majority are just peasant levy's called up to serve but provided no serious amount of training.

That's why the country was taken away from them without being able to fight.

A lousy supply unit with a training level not exceeding 50, it wasn't just the state of training that was bad.

As soon as I was assigned, I was given a tour of the commander's barracks, that's as far as it went.

But I was not pleased with the sub-commander who suddenly entered the barracks.

[Hadan Gerdik]

[Age: 40 years]

[Martial force: 50]

Intelligence: 25]

[Command: 35]

That's a terrible ability value.

The only thing that comes with the title of deputy commander is the baron's title.

Of course, it's not his ability that I don't like, but his attitude.

"Congratulations on your new assignment. I'm Deputy Commander Hadan." <Hadan>

"I'm Julius. It's a pleasure to meet you." <Julius>

"I know this supply unit better than anyone else. So I thought you could consider yourself here for a break. Well, I don't want you to do anything." <Hadan>

How can I not be angry at being told that all of a sudden?

"What?" <Julius>

With that sentiment in mind, rather than ask, Hadan began to blather on.

"I've been told that the chief of staff is leaving everything up to me." <Hadan>

The way he brings up the chief of staff is very annoying.

"I'm going to Linon Castle because the chief of staff wants to see me, but in the meantime, just do nothing and relax. Is that clear?" <Hadan>

He gave me a cocky warning and walked out without listening to my reply.

A giggle escaped me.

What the hell was he doing?

Of course, I'll ignore the orders of the chief of staff.

Firstly she might be chief of staff, but that doesn't give her the right to order her subordinate to order me around as his superior.

Beyond that even if he is acting on her orders as a higher noble he himself is still merely an honorary baron talking like that to a newly ordained Count.

According to the history of the game, the Linon territory will soon become a battlefield.

There are only a few days left for the chief of staff to be bothered by me.

If I'm at the mercy of the Chiefs of Staff, the main culprit of my downfall, we'll both end up dead.

In fact, as long as I can gain control of the supply force by then, I should be able to participate in the battlefield.

So I completely ignored the warning to do nothing and immediately called up the hundredmen.

I'm going to check out the personnel first.

"I will be your commander from today. It's just a change in command, no other changes; you're going to carry out your missions like before so that there are no deviations from the supply plan!" <Julius>

Two people openly ridicule me for saying that.

Perhaps they are Hadan's direct subordinates.

The rest of them wore strong expressions.

There aren't many people on Hadan's side; it seems he's not particularly popular.

That's a good thing for me.

There is only one person in the centurions with excellent ability value as far as I can see.

[Yusen]

[Age: 39 years]

[Martial force: 82]

[Intelligence: 60]

[Command: 90]

Hundredman is the highest position a commoner can occupy.
