Chapter 140

Winston’s parade ground.

There were exactly 100 soldiers gathered in a large space that could accommodate 5,000 people. They were bewildered.

“Morning training has ended, so why are we here?”

“I agree… It is also just our 100 man unit.”

Currently, Winston had 2,030 troops. Many troops had been lost due to the repeated battles with the Yatan Church, but Earl Steim had brought new soldiers to fill up those numbers. Only 100 of them were called out of 2,000 troops, so they couldn’t help feeling anxious.

They were the 13th Hundred Man Unit, famous for causing a lot of mishaps! Therefore, they waiting anxiously as they thought about the punishment they would receive.

“First of all, let’s try to think about what we did wrong. Last night, the armory guards… The third group? Did you doze off while keeping watch?”

“That doesn’t make sense. The situation is still tense because of the Yatan Church, so how can we sleep on duty? We slept secretly in turns. Our network was very thorough. We weren’t caught.”

“Really? Then the second group? You patrolled the market. Did the merchants complain that you stole things?”

“It can’t be. We only ate fruit or meat skewers, and no one made a fuss.”

“Umm… I don’t think we did anything wrong recently. We made some gangsters who worsened security disabled, but we can’t be punished for that. Right?”

“That act deserves a reward… Then what? What did we do wrong that we were made to gather?”

In the end, the soldiers couldn’t solve it on their own and asked their captain, Jude.

“Captain, why have we been called?”

“…I don’t know.”

Jude was also unable to understand the situation. He was moving about the usual schedule when there was suddenly an order to assemble. Jude wasn’t smart enough to guess why, so he just stood silently.

“Anyway, our captain won’t know anything about it.”

“I agree. Fighting is our captain’s strongest point. He is useless in everything else.”

“…”

The soldiers were in the midst of talking when two knights appeared. They were Romeo, an outstanding knight and his second in command, Deck. Romeo, who wore glittering golden full plate armor and a red cloak, shouted in a loud voice.

“Be quiet and pay attention! Viscount Grid is coming!”

“Viscount Grid?”

He married the lady just yesterday. Did he become a noble today? A noble should consume their stamina on the first night and enjoy the honeymoon, so why was he coming to the parade ground?

Grid appeared while the soldiers were feeling puzzled. He was wearing white armor and gloves and a great sense of dignity was coming from him. He made Romeo’s brilliant gold armor seem shallow.

‘The rumored hero who saved Winston from the previous lord and the Mero Company…!’

This was the first time the 13th Hundred Man Unit saw Grid. They all felt admiration.

‘There is a story that he rescued Lady Irene after killing Malacus.’

‘Isn’t he also a great blacksmith? He is amazing.’

Grid had a high amount of reputation, and was also rich in the dignity stat. The soldiers were envious and overwhelmed him with their gazes, causing Grid’s head to lower in embarrassment. Grid climbed onto the podium and fixed his attention on Jude before smiling faintly and saying,.

“The quality is generally good. Irene recommended this hundred man unit for a reason.”

The average level of the current Winston soldiers were around 70~80. The soldiers that Grid saw yesterday had an average combat power of around 1,000. But the soldiers of the 13th Hundred Man Unit had an average combat power of 2,000 while Jude had a huge 5,000 combat power.
