Chương 349: Conundrum (Part 1)

Sergeant Tepper hid his surprise behind his usual strict expression while the rest of the unit sneered at Lith's words. They were all of commoner origin and with no access to information regarding what happened in the rest of the Kingdom.

They had never heard about Balkor or about Nalear's assault on the White Griffon, hence they took Lith's claim as an attempt to impress their commanding officer.

"You and what army?" Vipli's snarky remark made the whole unit laugh.

Tepper inwardly sighed at their ignorance, but at the same time found no reason to correct them. Lith didn't seem to mind their mistrust, while the atmosphere had become more relaxed.

'Their mutual spite has only one downside: until they find a common ground, I have to think as I'm commanding two different units at once. Lith can't coordinate with the rest of the cadets because he is the one they hate. The common enemy that binds them together.' Tepper thought.
