Chapter 580 An army of familiar faces
I walked into a tent that was filled with people who were waiting for me.
Judging by their outfits, it was clear that they were high ranking officers of this army.
The one that was standing in the middle of this group was wearing the uniform of a general. With the way that everyone stood around him, it was clear that this person was the former general of this army and my new vice general.
He stared at me when I came in and the look in his eyes...was anything but kind.
It even seemed hostile as he looked at me, as if he was trying to figure out just how I had been appointed in his position.
But I didn't mind this as I walked towards my new vice general.
After coming up in front of them, I pulled out a piece of paper and said, "As appointed by his fourth highness, I am the new general that will take over command of this army."
The vice general looked at me with narrowed eyes before taking the piece of paper from my hand.
He looked at the piece of paper for a bit before slowly giving a nod and handing this piece of paper back to me. After handing it back, he said, "I understand and have received the orders of his fourth highness."
Though he said this, it was very clear just how unwilling he was to accept this matter.
In the end though he still backed down and offered the main seat in this tent to me.
I didn't hesitate to go over and sit down in that main seat.
But as soon as I did, the scrutiny that I received from everyone became even stronger.
Since I was sitting right there in the center, I was receiving attention from everyone who was in this tent.
It was clear that they didn't have a good impression of me.
I could even hear some whispers...
"Isn't he just a kid? How did he become the general?"
When he saw me look at him, the vice general didn't even bother hiding the fact that he was looking at me with this look of scrutiny.
It was clear that they all wanted to chase me away with this hostility, but they didn't know that I knew something that they didn't think anyone would know.
The game didn't just give one method of defeating enemies.
The game that this world was based on was very complex and gave many different ways to defeat an enemy.
Such as learning their background and using it against them.
In short, blackmail.
This was information that was supposed to be found out using different subordinates or different methods, but I already had this information since I had played the game countless times.
With this information, it should be easy for me to get this army under my control.
So I suddenly revealed a smile as I looked at the vice general.
The vice general immediately revealed a strange look when he saw this smile.
The confused look that he had made it clear that he didn't understand why I was smiling, but he didn't back down in the end.
I didn't bother with him anymore and turned to look at everyone to say, "I'm sure that all of you know by now that I'm the new general of this army. We have never met before and I have never served in the military before, so I hope that all of you will give me your guidance."
As expected, there were looks of hostility that appeared the moment that I said this.
If there were any allies that I had previously, they were completely gone now.
I had admitted that I had no experience and that I had become the general right away.
That was the same as saying that I had gotten this position through connections.
There was no way that they would trust me after that.
But I wasn't worried as I looked at them with a smile on my face.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
