Lord of the Oasis

"I..." Portlem reviewed the reactions of the other two people. He slowly raised his hand.

Bandak set his sights on this young man who was only twenty-three years old.

I thought in my mind: This guy's reaction is quite fast. The lord should prefer such a person to be the leader.

Looking at his square face, Bandak suddenly recalled that during the battle with the undead, this young man seemed to be among the warriors who helped him break out from the undead knights.

"Where are the other two people?" Bandak asked again.

Derrick and Bill both frowned. After a while, Derrick replied: "I think I'm more suitable to be like this."

"Aren't you thinking about promotion?" Bandak said.

Derrick shook his head and introduced that he was responsible for managing logistics supply and demand, cleaning the battlefield, etc. His experience on the battlefield is not comparable to that of other officers.

"Where's Bill?" Bandak nodded as if he understood. Then he asked the officer sitting in the middle.

Sweat broke out on Bill's forehead, and he finally exhaled and said, "I don't think I'm very suitable either. Officer Portlem has done a lot in this area, and I think he is very suitable to lead the kind of position you mentioned. .”

"Yes." After listening to everyone's answers, Bandak replied thoughtfully: "This time, a candidate for the new commander will be selected from among you. But in the end, the decision on this matter should be made by the lord. You remember to be more prepared, as one of you may be named to take the leadership position at any time.”

"Yes!" the three officers responded in unison.

………………

After reading the letter from the Land of the Dead, Kant carefully wrote a reply on the letter paper.

The garrison troops in the City of the Undead reported to him the number of remaining undead tribesmen and wrote a letter recommending their exile.

However, Kant still ordered in his reply: Perform euthanasia on all undead soldiers.

He didn't want to see a second country of the undead suddenly appear out of nowhere one day.

This battle is to preserve the absolute autonomy of Dehreim in the Nalen Desert. No more worrying about the constant intrusion of the undead.

For these powerful undead warriors,

Kant would not think of showing mercy.

As dusk approached, Kant thought that he had sent someone to summon Bandak to enter the palace at this time. After instructing his attendants to greet him, Kant drank afternoon tea in the dining side room.

The current development of Dehreem is quite smooth, despite all the ups and downs before. But now it has begun to take shape as a powerful empire.

As a lord, Kant also relaxed his mind and made plans for Dehreem's future.

"Lord, Commander Bandak has arrived." A servant walked into the door and announced.

"Okay." Kant came back to his senses in his imagination. After taking off the napkin and wiping his hands with a wet hand towel, he walked back to the Senate Hall.

"Lord." Bandak walked up to him and saluted.

Kant helped him stand up and asked cheerfully about the current situation: "In the past few days during the holidays, I heard that you followed other soldiers to visit the families of soldiers who died on the battlefield?"

"Well, although casualties are inevitable on the battlefield, as the commander, I cannot avoid my responsibility for letting the soldiers sacrifice their lives." Bandak replied.

"If you have such a mind, your soldiers will definitely be able to follow you without any worries." Kant commented.

Bandak shook his head silently.

"Speaking of which, have you found the generals who were pre-selected as commanders?" Kant sat back in his seat, looked at Bandak and asked: "I heard that you named several people when you returned to the military camp today. Woolen cloth."

Bandak said with a smile: "The three people I named are all outstanding in this campaign, but if you want to become a leader, you still need a period of training and observation."

Kant nodded: "As long as you have a clear understanding of this matter, after selecting the candidates, report them to me. Then I can give them official positions."

"In order to become a competent leader in the eyes of the lord, you still need to consider it carefully." Bandak replied.

"This time cannot be delayed for too long." Kant shook his head, raised three fingers and said: "We can only have three weeks at most for consideration."

"Three weeks?!" Kant's reply surprised Bandak, and he immediately asked: "Why are you so anxious?"

"The news from Cumberland states that lizardmen and jackals have been harassing its borders in recent days." Kant elaborated: "The Elf King is discussing with me the time to send troops to attack the lizardmen and jackals. At that time, a large number of troops will definitely need to be eliminated. In addition to you, we also need a new commander to serve as the leader.”

After listening to Kant's words, Bandak frowned and immediately responded: "I didn't expect that Cumberland would be so abused just after it was newly established."

"The Elf Kingdom has already formulated a combat plan based on the terrain." Kant continued: "The Elf Kingdom's response was so fast this time, which really surprised me."

"What about the time? When will we go to the Elf Kingdom?" Bandak asked urgently.

"It's probably more than a month away from now. So the military arrangements must be made as soon as possible." Kande said seriously.

Bandak nodded solemnly, then said goodbye to Kant and walked out of the palace.

It only took three weeks to select a new leader for him.

These days, Bandak ran to the military camp more frequently.

The soldiers in the army were all surprised that the commander seemed to be the first person to arrive at the training ground every day.

In order not to appear lazy in front of the commander, the entire army gathered much earlier than usual every morning.

When the soldiers were training, Bandak would sit on the main stage and supervise the training of everyone while observing the team of the three people who were named before.

After several days of observation, Bandak silently evaluated each of the three people in his heart.

As he usually does, Derrick treats his soldiers very carefully. But such a person is still not enough of a deterrent as a leader.

Bill is a standard and competent officer who wants to do everything well. Overall, he is somewhat similar to Pem when he was young, and has strong leadership skills.

Portlem, who is the most proactive in becoming a leader, has a very active mind, which can be seen in his daily requirements for the soldiers. He is also very confident and reveals a unique leadership temperament among the crowd.

After checking the previous qualifications of these three people, Bandak finally reported Portlem's name to Kant, and carefully wrote down his own considerations in the submitted copy. After all, this was new. Commander.
