Reactions from All Sides (Part 2)

"What? The boss got promoted? He became a lieutenant general?"

"Old Three, don't you dare call me that! You should call me the Commander!"

"Why call him 'Commander'? He should be called 'Guardian of the Western Territory' now."

"Old Three, you guys, stop arguing. The eldest brother has gone to the Western Frontier as a guard. What are we brothers supposed to do?"

"Yes, what are we going to do!"

Upon hearing that Sordil had been transferred to the Western Frontier as a guardian, the Great Captain were initially delighted, but later became worried one by one. At this moment, the Great Captain of the First Battalion suddenly noticed his adjutant, who stood motionless, watching the argument with a smile.

"Old Two, didn't the eldest brother already have a solution prepared a long time ago, but you didn't tell us, did you?"

"What? The Old Two is hiding something?"

After being reminded by the Great Captain of the First Battalion, everyone focused their attention on the adjutant. Feeling uncomfortable under everyone's gaze, the adjutant dared not hide anything any longer. He took out the parchment transfer order from his pocket and announced to everyone, "Of course, the Commander will not abandon us. This is the transfer order that just came from the capital. The Commander wants us to set off immediately to West City to meet him."

"Oh! Long live the boss!"

"Bang"

"Damn it, who hit me just now?"

"I hit you, so what!"

"Old Two, why did you hit me?"

The First Great Captain looked at his adjutant, who had given him a takoyaki (octopus Maruko), with a wronged expression and loudly questioned him. No sooner had he finished speaking than the other four Great Captain, besides the adjutant, rushed up and beat him severely. The First Great Captain felt even more aggrieved, his eyes brimming with tears as he looked at his brothers who had beaten him. Before he could even speak again, he heard his usual comrades launching into a barrage of verbal attacks against him.

"Old Three, are you out of your mind? How could you just shout those two words like that?"

"That's right, Old Four is right. Do you want to screw over the Boss?"

"He's just too stupid!"

After his brothers' hard work and re-education, the first Great Captain finally realized his mistake and dared not talk back in the face of his brothers' accusations.

"Alright, that's enough! Besides scolding him, we have more important things to do. You all need to go back and prepare. We must arrive in West City before Commander reaches the West Frontier to keep an eye on those guys in the Western Border Army and prevent any troublemakers from causing trouble."

"Yes! The Old Two is right, let's hurry up and get ready!"

"Yes!"

"Lischi, do you know why headquarters summoned us Division Commander this time?"

"Langu, don't worry, I'll take a nap now and ask God in my dreams why headquarters recalled us from the defense zone!"

"You little brat, you dare to play me! Lischi, you stop right there, I challenge you to a duel!"

"A duel? Ha! Langu, you'd better just stay behind my warhorse and eat my dust!"

"Lischi, you old bastard, you stop right there!"

"Keith Case, have the division Division Commander not arrived yet?"

"Your Excellency, please do not worry. Four Division Commander have already arrived at headquarters. Only the Second Division Lischi, Fourth Division Langu, have not yet arrived."

Just as Keith finished speaking, a voice chorus came from the courtyard gate.

"Division Commander Lischi and Division Commander Langu have arrived!"

"Oh, these two generals have finally arrived! Keith Case, please quickly gather all the Division Commander to discuss that matter!"

"Your Excellency, please do not be hasty. Keith will go and discuss the matter with the division Division Commander. Please wait a moment longer!"

After calming the Black Robe attendant who had come to read the decree, Keith strode towards the operations hall, clutching the very order he loathed tightly in his hand. As soon as Keith appeared in the hall, the six Division Commander who had been summoned immediately swarmed around him, the two Division Commander had just arrived eagerly asking the reason for the summons.

"Alright, stop asking questions. After you finish reading this, you'll understand everything!"

Keith handed the transfer order to Lischi and had everyone read it. Lischi quickly scanned the contents of the order, her face darkening. Seeing her reaction, everyone knew something bad must have happened. Langu snatched the order and read it word by word.

"Plop"

Langu plopped down on the ground, staring blankly ahead, letting the transfer order slip from his fingers. Seeing their strange expressions, the other division Division Commander immediately gathered around, picking up the order and examining its instructions. After a while, once everyone had finished reading, Keith put the order away and addressed the group:

"That's the situation. You guys discuss it and decide which two people should stay with the Western Border Army."

The hall was silent. They all knew the consequences of staying, but if they followed Langu to the Cuyis Tree Sea, what difference would it make if they had no soldiers or generals under their command or if they stayed?

Just as the six Division Commander were caught in a quagmire of whether to leave or stay, Lischi, the Division Commander the Second Division, suddenly said, "Perhaps we don't need to leave the two Division Commander here!"

"But the transfer order says..."

Before the Division Commander could finish speaking, Lischi interrupted him and pointed to the transfer order in Keith's hand, saying, "The transfer order only says that we should leave one-third of our senior officers to help the new Guardian of the Western Territory get familiar with the environment. But it doesn't specify that we must leave them in full formation, so we just need to leave him with enough officers at the regimental level or above according to the established structure."

Upon hearing Lischi's words, everyone's eyes lit up. Keith, in particular, clapped his hands excitedly and shouted, "Brilliant!"

"Lischi is right. We just need to leave him with twenty-six men! And we can leave all those who aren't on our side and who like to cause trouble to the new Guardian of the Western Territory. Let him clean up this mess slowly!"

"Yes! That's what we'll do!"

"Alright! Now that everyone has come up with a solution, let's hurry back and make arrangements. I should also go and reply to the messenger sent by the king!"

"Yes! We'll go back and prepare right away, please rest assured, Lord Keith!"

"Teacher, wake up! We've arrived in West City, it's time to get off!"

Sordil, who was hanging from the carriage like a waterfall plunging three thousand feet, immediately perked up upon hearing Anna's words. He nimbly stepped down from the "purgatory" and looked at the gray-blue ancient city in the distance. Before Sordil could even express his feelings, a cloud of dust suddenly rose from the direction of the city, followed by the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, which grew closer and louder as they approached Sordil.
