Yu Lin Bloodhawk voiced his doubts, watching the officers with a trace of suspicion in his eyes.
The Quel'Danil High Elf second-class legion answered directly to Army Staff headquarters. Yu Lin Bloodhawk knew very well, however, that the Army General Staff in The Hinterlands had never gotten along with the Naval Chief of Staff Department. They constantly competed and tried to outdo each other. Now that he wanted to transfer personnel from them to the Sea Cucumber Department, he could not help wondering whether they were deliberately making excuses to evade the request.
"My lord, perhaps you have misunderstood. High Elves live long lives, and every citizen can serve as a soldier. Besides, The Hinterlands has ample food and supplies. How can you judge High Elf recruitment by the standards of a Human Kingdom?
"Furthermore, the Coast Guard won't be making long voyages. They'll only operate in the coastal waters of Hinterlands. For them, serving as soldiers is really just another job. I don't think growing fruit trees in Quel'Danil Mountain Valley requires that many people, either. Recruiting another two thousand soldiers to form the Coast Guard should be quite easy," the commander of the Quel'Danil High Elf Second-Class Standing Burning Legion said hurriedly.
"Is that so?" Yu Lin Bloodhawk considered it for a moment. He felt the commander's argument made sense, but he could not decide just yet. He would have to ask the people from the Sea Cucumber Department again. "In that case, I'll discuss it with the Sea Cucumber Department and see whether it will work!"
Yu Lin Bloodhawk then told them that he would soon be leading an expedition and would probably not return for six months to a year. He ordered the Quel'Danil High Elf second-class legion to establish complete control over the Seaside Plain
