Chapter 109 The Crisis of the Guard Captain
While Roger and others were heading to the material warehouse, Wade was sitting proudly in his office, enjoying the mead shipped from the southern part of the kingdom. [] This kind of wine costs more than a dozen gold coins a bottle, and he alone can defend it.
The captain's income could never afford to enjoy such high-end wine. But since Wade started serving that big shot, enjoying such luxuries has become a normal thing for him.
When Wade found out that it was the captain of the palace guard who knocked him unconscious on the city wall, he was really panicked for a while. He thought that his shameful deeds had alerted the king, so he sent his henchmen to arrest him. But when Wei De
When De knew that the crime Massa accused him of was just to sit back and watch civilians being killed, his hanging heart was immediately relieved.
As a senior military officer, Wade, of course, in the eyes of the military bosses, civilians are just consumables that can be sacrificed casually. As long as he says that it is for the safety of Linton Pass that he does not sacrifice those civilians, not only will he not be
Blaming will lead to rewards. The fact was exactly as Wade expected. The military quickly responded to Massa's accusations through the summons circle, and he regained his freedom.
Although Wade was not convicted, the incident also frightened him a little. However, Wade did not reflect on his behavior at all. Instead, he blamed the whole thing on Roger. When the guard captain came, all this happened.
Because of Roger, his hatred for him became deeper and deeper.
"Roger Lee!" Wade muttered to himself as he drank the glass of wine in one gulp: "I won't let you go..."
"Sir, something serious has happened!" Wade was only halfway through his words when his adjutant opened the door and said in a panic: "Rosberg and Massa asked to inspect the material warehouse!"
"What?!" This news made Wade really panic, and he quickly stood up and asked: "How could they think of the material warehouse?"
The adjutant muttered: "That Roger Lee is also with them."
"It's Roger Lee again!" Wade was furious when he heard the name. He threw his wine glass to the ground and said, "This guy is always against me. I really want to kill him now!"
"Sir, Roger is with Massa now." The angry Adjutant Wade quickly advised: "I heard that he has the strength of a silver-level, we can't afford to offend him!"
Yesterday, Massa stopped the charge of the undead cavalry at the city gate with just a few volleys of fighting spirit. His heroic appearance left a deep impression on many people. Wade's adjutant was also present at the time and witnessed the captain of the palace guard with his own eyes.
strength, so after hearing that Wade wanted to take action against Roger and others, he quickly spoke out to stop him.
After hearing what the adjutant said, Wade was also a little discouraged. Knowing that now was not the time to attack Roger, he slumped back on his chair and asked, "How much of the shortage of supplies has not been replaced?"
After hearing Wade's question, the adjutant immediately replied: "There is still about a tenth gap."
After discovering the shortage of supplies, Wade and his adjutant have been trying to find ways to make up for the shortfall. However, because the entire Lunde Peninsula is occupied by undead creatures, it has become very difficult to purchase enough supplies, so they have not yet been able to make up for it.
"Fortunately, I just said that I have spent all my time preparing for the war recently." At this point, Wade had no other choice but to cheer up and said: "Let's go to the warehouse together. We will adapt accordingly when the time comes. We must not let them destroy this.
It’s revealed!”
It may not be a big deal for the military to sit back and watch civilians being killed, but it is a serious crime to deplete combat supplies. If it is exposed, the military will not only not protect Wade, but also be the first to take action on him. No wonder this guy is so nervous
Already.
When Wade and his adjutant rushed to the warehouse, Roger and others were already waiting for them at the door. Wade, who hurried over, looked very sad. Roger grinned at him and said: "Captain Wade, you look very unhappy."
Okay. He must have been too worried about the security of the pass recently. He is such a good officer who is loyal to his duty!"
Wade now even has the intention to kill Roger, but it is difficult to show it in front of Rosberg and Massa, so he can only smile at him reluctantly: "As a royal official, naturally I have to do my best to protect the safety of the kingdom.
!”
Massa came to investigate Wade on the order of King Alonso III, but he was not interested in listening to his talk here. At this moment, he said coldly: "Hurry up and open the warehouse. We are entrusted by the Privy Council to inspect military supplies.
usage!”
Wade did not dare to offend Massa, and quickly ordered the soldiers to open the door of the warehouse for a few people. At the same time, he did not forget to excuse himself, pretending to be casual and said to Massa: "I have always been very strict in the management of combat readiness supplies, but
Recently, a little material has been consumed to strengthen the pass, but it is within the prescribed range."
Wade's words left Massa with no problem at all. There had been widespread rumors that the undead army was going to attack Linton Pass. As the captain of the defense, he naturally had the right to use certain materials to strengthen the defense. As long as it was within a reasonable range, it would not be considered a violation.
Of course, the actual lack of supplies in the warehouse far exceeds this limit, but the scale of the warehouse is so large that it is impossible for Roger and the other three alone to accurately count how many supplies are missing. Wade is pinning his hope on this.
, hoping that warehouses with not too many supplies can get by.
"Why is this kid so calm? Something is wrong!" Roger on the side saw Wade's reaction and couldn't help but feel a little strange. So as soon as the door of the warehouse opened, he was the first to walk in.
As soon as Roger entered the warehouse, he found that the situation was a little different from what he had imagined. The warehouse that was half empty was now almost completely full. He immediately understood that Wade must have found a way to make up for the shortfall, and couldn't help but thought to himself: "Huh,
If you can make up for it, I can take it, whoever can outlast the other!"
At this time, Rosberg and others who were walking behind also entered the warehouse. They realized at a glance that the shortage of supplies in the warehouse was not as serious as Roger said, and they couldn't help but look puzzled. Massa even more so
Looking at Roger's back, he frowned slightly, feeling that it was a bit too rash for him to believe his words and come to inspect the warehouse with great fanfare.
Wade saw the reactions of the two of them and knew that this matter was basically over. He couldn't help but proudly looked at Roger's back and said secretly: "You want to bring me down? Go ahead and dream! Sooner or later, you will have to settle this account with you."
!”
Although Wade had evil thoughts in his heart, on the surface he still had great respect for Rosberg and Massa. He smiled and said, "Please check as you please. I will stay here and wait for your hearing at any time."
Wade's guilty look made Rosberg and Massa hesitate, wondering whether they should continue the inspection. Roger, on the other hand, was not polite and turned around and asked with a smile: "Captain, can I go inside?"
