Chapter 32: Fixing the food problem (II)

According to military codes, granting civilians a piece of the fortress so they could command who got in and out was out of the question, but General Anglius was more than happy with the trade.
The fortress was immense, and giving Vlad and the young cat a small place would not only give him access to a tool capable of improving their food supply but would also keep the two powerful experts in the Silent Wind Military Base.
"I can do that. Do you have a place in mind?"
"I just need a place of my own. It must be wide, that is all."
"Oh, in that case, there are large barracks on the east side of the fortress. They have been empty for decades now. You can have them if you want."
"Great."

General Anglius’ eyes were sharp as he watched the soldiers clean the warehouses. While a simple cleaning task was not something he would usually care about, especially in a time like this, it was important as it regarded their food supply.
The soldiers were working very fast and competently, so it took only a short time before the metallic ground of the warehouses was spotless.
"Good, now stand to the side."
