Chapter 29: The Daily Routine of the Commander of the Knights

In the military camp, Linn Lamber, the new Commander, was really arranging the daily training tasks.

As time passed, more and more soldiers came from Clemente Territory.

In just half a month’s time, the number of soldiers here had already reached 100,000, and it continued to increase.

The proficiency of the local garrison had already reached 120,000, and with the addition of this new army, there was a total of more than 200,000.

The number had already reached 50% of the Imperial Army.

This made Linn Lamber respect Rollin Clemente very much.

If the Lord in the territory was a muddle-headed person, it would be impossible for the people in his territory to join the army so enthusiastically.

Moreover, the 100,000 scattered soldiers who had arrived first had unwavering determination in their eyes, and their training was also twice the result with half the effort.

After leaving the training grounds, Linn Lamber quickly returned to the frontline camp.

“Commander, all the deserters in this area have been taken in. We can begin the next step of our plan!”

Linn Lamber did not say anything. Instead, he sat down to do his work and looked at the documents on the table.

After confirming that everything was going according to plan, he said, “Mmm! They all look very perfect.”

“Where is Deputy Commander Locke Orlando now?”

“Deputy Commander Locke Orlando is bringing the deserters he took in to gather with the garrison!”

“He left in the morning. He might be back soon.”

“Then we’ll talk about the matter of clearing the mountain bandits later. Let’s talk about it when the Deputy Commander comes back!”

Linn Lamber was very cautious.

He clearly knew that the Deputy Commander Locke Orlando was much smarter than him, so as long as Locke had not come back to give his opinion, he would not make a decision on his own!

During lunch, Locke Orlando finally returned to the camp.

“Have you eaten, Locke?”

“I haven’t finished yet.”

“Let’s go eat together. We’ll talk while we eat.”

“Okay!”

The two of them ordered the same meal as the ordinary soldiers from the canteen. They did not specially get someone to cook for them.

Because they felt that this would increase the affinity between them and the soldiers, they gave up the privilege of eating as the Regiment Commander.

“After the soldiers who escaped recently were all taken in, the chaos in this area has become much worse than before.”

“Do we still need to clear out the bandits?”

Locke stuffed the rice in his bowl into his mouth and chewed twice. He thought about the current situation.

“The civilians of Seven Star City that are connected to Ipswich have basically been recruited into the city.”

“Even the deserters who are wandering outside have been recruited. There is no need for these bandits to specifically cleared out!”

Hearing this, Linn was very confused and asked, “Why?”

“Ipswich’s territory is now a lawless land and does not belong to anyone. If we must clear these bandits out, we will definitely make them fight back.”

“Instead of fighting with them, we might as well send soldiers to release the news to these bandits!”

“Let them know that we will not make an enemy out of them. At the same time, let them not attack our army’s rations.”

“That’s more or less what I mean!”

“After all, most of these bandits are originally Ipswich’s citizens and garrisons, so they are still somewhat fearful of the Kaicano Empire.”

“This way, they will crazily attack the troops from the Eastern Empire, and they will even plunder their rations. Why shouldn’t we do that?!”

After Locke finished explaining, Linn immediately nodded in agreement.

“Fortunately, I did not give the order to clear out the bandits. If we cause them to hate us, it will be difficult for us to advance or retreat!”

After receiving the answer, Linn immediately ate up the rice in his bowl.

After seeing that there was not a single grain of rice in the surroundings, the two of them sent the rice bowls to the cleaning area.

The order was quickly passed down.

The soldiers in the camp did not know what the two Regimental Commanders were thinking. They did not even want to eliminate the bandits? They even sent soldiers to release the news of peaceful coexistence with them!

This news had only been released for a day, and the surrounding area immediately stabilized.

These bandits clearly knew what the soldiers of Clemente Territory wanted to do, so they avoided the edge and did not make an enemy out of them.

Since they were already on the same side as them, they began to investigate the troops from the eastern countries.

They even sent information to Seven Star City, and the bandits used this opportunity to get some information.

In the Command Camp at the front line.

Linn was very happy. Recently, the progress was too smooth. Not only did they pacify the surrounding bandits, but they also eliminated many of the enemy vanguard troops that came to investigate.

When Locke Orlando saw his Regiment Commander so happy, he had no choice but to pour a bucket of cold water on him.

“It’s too early to be happy. The war has just begun!”

Linn nodded and replied, “I know, but all the problems in hand have been resolved so far. At least this way, Grand Marshal Rollin won’t be overly worried.”

Hearing this, Locke seemed a little unhappy. He opened his mouth but could not say anything.

Seeing him like this, Linn immediately said, “Master is now shouldering a heavy responsibility. We should be happy for him.”

“But! If we let Master come here, the battle might end even faster than we thought!”

“But why did Marshal Rollin leave Master in the forest to defend the city!?”

“Master not only has powerful combat ability, he also has outstanding commanding ability!”

Linn saw the indignant Locke and walked to his side, patting him on the shoulder. “You may think that this is unfair, but only by doing so can Master allow us to grow up.”

“Otherwise, with Master’s position as a Saint Magister, he can reject the Grand Marshal’s transfer order!”

“First and foremost, the one who is most concerned about the safety of this army is Master. After all, this army is his painstaking masterpiece!”

“Secondly, if Master doesn’t leave, we will always be the nestlings in the nest.”

“Under Master’s protection, we will never be able to spread our wings and soar!”

After listening to Linn’s words, Locke understood these things. Although he was talented and intelligent, once he started acting like a bull, many things would be unclear.

Linn, on the other hand, was not the same. Although his mind was very simple and straightforward, and he was even a little dazed, he could clearly sense why everything had become like this.

He had amazing judgment. When a matter was placed in his hands, he would mull over it without an answer.

The two of them being arranged together was the best result that Jeff Brooke had thought of for a long time.

There was no one else in the world who could match each other so well..
