Chapter 884: Volume 28 Long Spear Plows the Courtyard - 1 Breakthrough
Komer’s fingers moved across the map, finally settling on the name Trelins.
"Fran, we shall start from here. What do you think? Trelins, a fine name indeed, it should be the most important flax production area in Poznan, I fancy this place."
Komer’s somewhat teasing words elicited laughter from Baoling and Dragumo, "Sir, we are all well aware of your interest in any land soon to be yours," they said.
The generals clustered around Komer all beamed with smiles; for them, the war was undoubtedly the best way to test the outcomes of such long training. The Lord had already declared that he would generously award military honors and rewards to those who performed well in the war—Gold Shield, lands, and even slaves, which were a tremendous temptation for the officers.
Homer—Caucasus’s military mobilization was quite discreet, but avoiding the notice of the neighboring states was clearly impossible. Massive troop movements in this era could not be kept secret, especially when large numbers of half-beast soldiers and barbarian soldiers appeared on Homer’s land. Even ordinary civilians could sense the obvious intent, and this war-mongering new Lord seemed poised to prove his ironclad merits through war once again.
The Corps Commander of the Furious Wave Corps remained Fran. Under the current circumstances, none of Komer’s subordinates could replace Fran’s position firmly enough. As vice-corps commander, Baoling largely took over the specific command role from Fran, while those barbarians who had performed exceptionally in the last war had yet to win Komer’s approval, especially given the complex makeup of the army. Seniority was still very important for gaining the soldiers’ respect and trust.
Dragumo had officially become the Corps Commander of the Rock Corps. From Leon to Livonia, and back from Livonia to the Caucasus, he, a half-beast man who had risen from a mob, had perfectly completed his role transition. He now was undeniably the chief of the half-beast warriors, and his loyalty to Komer also ensured his position as the absolute leader of this team.
Ilot unsurprisingly became the first Corps Commander of the Ghost Weasel Corps. Although this force seemed inferior in both size and quality compared to the Furious Wave Corps and the Rock Corps, the iron-clad discipline ensured that the army would appear on the battlefield with one voice and one step.
