Chapter 280: Take the Salary Yourself. Work As An Adjutant
Gary nodded seriously. He also agreed with this point.
“Not only does Lugh have extraordinary talent in combat, but he is also the number one person in our Skylight City in terms of intelligence and reconnaissance.”
Barnard said seriously, “Lugh is not very experienced in leading a team, but from the results of the previous three times he led a team, he has achieved excellent results. You have to support him well.”
“I understand,” Gary agreed.
Barnard’s meaning was already very clear. He only supported Lugh.
The newly established 14th Team was still led by Lugh’s opinion.
He, Gary, could only act as an assistant. He had to help Lugh well.
Although Gary’s heart was bitter, he still had to see his own position clearly.
He had already made ample preparations in his heart.
Barnard looked at the two of them. Overall, he was very satisfied with the two Captain and Vice-Captain of the 14th Team.
Both of them were members of the Emergency Response Team.
Lugh’s talent was outstanding. His combat strength was extremely strong. He had a strong investigative ability. In terms of directing combat, he also had decent talent and potential.
The only thing he lacked was probably experience.
Coincidentally, Gary was an experienced veteran.
Barnard rarely knew what Paul and Bania were thinking.
He also valued Lugh’s future.
“The 14th Emergency Response Team’s base has been arranged. It’s next to the 13th Emergency Response Team. As for the logistics, Gary will be in charge for now. Gary, you know the organization structure of the emergency team the best.”
“Yes, Commander.”
“Lugh, learn from Gary and understand the operation mechanism of the emergency team.” Barnard continued to make arrangements.
“When the logistics department of the 14th Team is completed, it’ll be time to choose Beast Masters.”
“I’ll transfer 40 experienced Gold-tier Beast Masters from the 13 teams to join your team directly.”
Lugh and Gary were both a little happy to hear that.
After all, the newly recruited Gold-tier Beast Masters were definitely not as strong as the experienced veteran members of the Emergency Response Team.
Barnard continued, “It’s hard to say how many Gold-tier Beast Masters the emergency response team will be able to recruit this year. For now, you guys go take a look at the venue with Adjutant Clive. If you need anything, just tell him directly. He’ll do his best to cooperate with you.”
“Yes!”
“Oh, right, Lugh.”
Just as Lugh and Gary were about to leave the office with Adjutant Clive, Barnard called out to him.
“Is there anything else, Vice-Captain?”
“Remember to bring your little adjutant along. You can let her do some chores too,” Barnard emphasized with a smile. “Other than leading the team on missions, the most important thing is to increase your strength!”
“Yes!”
After leaving Barnard’s office, Lugh and Gary followed adjutant Clive to the 14th emergency team’s base.
On the way, Gary and Clive waited at the entrance of the 7th emergency team for a while.
Not long after, Lugh walked out with his adjutant.
Gary was stunned when he saw the woman behind Lugh. She had crystal white hair, a tall figure, a beautiful face, and an extremely cold temperament.
“Lucy?”
Lucy’s face was cold. She bowed to Gary and said, “Hello, Vice-Captain Gary.”
“You are now...”
“Captain Lugh’s adjutant.”
Gary looked at Lugh in shock.
He had noticed Lucy during the last tournament.
At that time, he was both surprised and puzzled. He really could not understand why Lucy, as the daughter of the Pavilion Master of the Pavilion of Treasures, would join the Emergency Response Team.
Shouldn’t she be staying at the Pavilion of Treasures?
Now, something even more puzzling came up.
She had become Lugh’s adjutant by the weekend.
With Lucy’s Platinum-tier Beast Master’s strength, ability, potential, and powerful background, if she joined the Emergency Response Team, she should at least be given the rank of a Captain.
Lugh’s eyes flashed as he said, “Let’s go. We’ll take a look at the new base.”
The layout of the 14th Emergency Response Team was similar to that of the 7th Team.
There was an office, a canteen, a small square, and luxurious single rooms for the members of the team.
The most important thing for Lugh and the others right now was to set up a logistics department to receive the forty Beast Masters from the other thirteen teams in ten days.
Lugh mainly wanted to take a look at his own office.
Elisa’s office was more or less the same.
There was a large solid wood table, a few leather chairs, and a sofa.
There was a door at the back. Inside the door was a relatively spacious bedroom, where one could usually sleep and rest.
The adjutant’s office was right outside Lugh’s office.
Lugh sat on the leather chair in his office, suddenly having the feeling of being a leader.
“Adjutant Lucy.”
“Yes, Captain Lugh.”
“I just signed the fifth pet. I need to take advantage of the time to train it, so that it can grow and increase the combat strength of our 14th Team.”
Lugh said seriously, “So, you will take care of the construction of the 14th Team on my behalf and cooperate with Vice-Captain Gary.”
Lugh would receive the salary, but the chores on his hands would naturally be assigned to his adjutant.
Lugh’s position was very clear. He was in charge of leading the team in battle, and would occasionally take the time to nurture his Beast Masters.
However, he didn’t want to care about the chores within the 14th Team.
He didn’t have the energy or time.
His priority was to nurture his pet beasts and increase his strength.
Even Barnard had the same idea.
“Yes, Major.”
Lucy did not reject Lugh’s order.
Lugh greeted Gary, “Vice-Captain Gary, I’ll have to trouble you with the rest of the matters.”
Gary nodded with a poker face, “Sure, go ahead and do your thing.”
He was indeed prepared for Lugh to throw his weight around, but he did not expect Lugh to be so straightforward.
On the first day of the match, he immediately slipped away.
After Lugh left, Gary felt very uncomfortable.
“Vice-Captain Gary, the Major is only sixteen years old now. As you know, from the moment a Beast Master awakens to the age of forty, it’s the prime time for them to raise their strength,” Lucy said. “This period of time is very precious. You understand, right?”
Gary quickly figured it out.
He had originally planned to take on the task of constructing the 14th Team by himself.
Although Lugh had left, he still left Lucy behind.
Lucy’s ability wasn’t bad. She could definitely help him reduce his workload by quite a bit.
This was a good thing.
Just as Gary and Lucy were busy constructing the 14th Team, Lugh, who had abandoned his responsibilities, left Skylight City.
The Void Spirit was only at High-tier Black Iron. Its path of leveling up was a little long.
As soon as it flew to the edge of Skylight City, the Stormhawk told Lugh that there was a group of Red-Skinned Flame Demon Boars nibbling on crops nearby.
This surprised Lugh a little.
Skylight City’s safe zone, near the wilderness, was also patrolled day and night by Beast Masters.
They were there to prevent Fierce Beasts from entering the safety zone and destroying the farmland.
The Fierce Beasts were there to kill civilians.
Silver-tier Fierce Beasts like the Red-Skinned Flame Demon Boar had short tempers and were easily angered.
Once they entered the safety zone, it would be extremely dangerous.
“They might have been careless. Let’s go take a look.”
More than ten minutes later, Lugh saw the group of Red-Skinned Flame Demon Boars with a group of piglets munching happily on the farmland.
A Bronze-tier Beast Master riding a Light Wind Wolf glanced at them from afar and immediately turned around to leave. It was obvious that he was returning to report the news.
[Ding! Mission announcement: Use Void Spirit to annihilate the Red-Skinned Flame Demon Boars clan.]
[Ding! Mission reward: Randomly raise Void Spirit’s talent by one rank.]
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Lugh heard the good news.
He had the Stormhawk fly above the Bronze-tier Beast Master, its massive shadow directly enveloping him.
The Beast Master looked up and saw Lugh riding on the Stormhawk’s back.
“I’ll take care of those Red-Skinned Flame Demon Boars.”
The Bronze-tier Beast Master couldn’t see Lugh’s face, but he could see the military uniform he was wearing.
“Thank you, Sir.”
Generally speaking, the stronger one was, the higher one’s military rank would be although most military ranks were just for show.
“However, you can also inform some people to come over and take the corpses away.”
“Alright!”
Lugh looked down on the corpses of Silver-tier Fierce Beasts, but it did not mean that others looked down on them as well.
He summoned the Void Spirit and ordered, “Void Spirit, kill those Red-Skinned Flame Demon Boars. Kill two big ones first. Their skin is rough and their flesh is thick. You attack their internal organs directly.”
The Void Spirit was only a High-grade Black Iron.
Its opponent, however, was a Mid-grade Silver.
