Cale gathered people to the Commander’s office the day after his chat with the crown prince. He opened the closed door to the office.

Click.

The door opened with a quiet noise and Cale could see inside the office.

“Commander-nim, you're here.”

He could see the long oval table in the office. All of the people sitting at the table got up to greet Cale.

The Ubarr liege, the Knight Captain of the First Knights Brigade, Mage Captain Tasha, young lady who was responsible for the video communication devices and record keeping, as well as many others who were the core of the northeast region’s naval base were in the office.

Their expressions did not look good. They lightly lowered their heads as Cale motioned to them with his eyes as he headed toward the head of the table.

“Commander-nim, did you eat?”

“Did you get to eat, commander-nim?”

‘…What the?’

Cale felt odd after hearing people greeting him like this with serious expressions.

‘Why are they caring about my meal so much?

Is this the new trend these days?’ Cale casually nodded his head and sat down at the head of the table. The Ubarr liege started to speak as soon as he sat down.

“Commander-nim, will you be going to the capital?”

The question made the atmosphere in the room become sullen.

They had received the message at the naval base this morning. It indicated that they were requesting Commander Cale Henituse's presence at the Grand Nobles Meeting.

That was why the naval base was chaotic since the morning.

“Yes, I am going.”

Cale's confident response made them not ask any questions.

Commander Cale Henituse. He was an extremely smart person. They didn't know how to refute a decision made by such a person.

The Mage Captain, Dark Elf Tasha, hid her head inside her robe to hide her annoyed expression.

‘These nobles-’

However, before she could even finish her thought, someone started to speak.

“All these noble bastards always do the same thing.”

‘Gasp.’

Tasha gasped internally. She then turned her head to the side.

The Captain of the First Knights Brigade.

That stoic human was sitting there with a stoic expression as if he had not said anything. He responded stiffly after seeing the eyes fall on him.

“Ah, of course, the proper nobles are exceptions. I'm talking about the noble bastards who care so much about their factions.”

‘Wow.’

Tasha was amazed to hear these words that she had wanted to say as well. The fact that the Knight Captain had no issues saying these things meant that he considered everyone here, especially Cale, as being on his side.

The Knight Captain closed his mouth as if he had not said anything at all. Other people started to speak after he had opened up the floodgates.

“The war is not over, and the northeast region's naval base is still busy with the cleanup. How can they order our commander-nim to come and go as they please?!”

“These fools who don’t know how cruel and scary war is just sit there and try to boss him around!”

“They are probably trying to suppress you, commander-nim!”

One of them shouted in anger.

"And they are not just calling you, commander-nim! They are calling Choi Han-nim and the necromancer-nim as well! Just what-”

Tap.

Cale's palm lightly tapped on the table. The person who was talking looked toward Cale before shutting his mouth.

A calm voice started to speak.

“That is why I am going.”

The people around the table remained quiet. Cale was not showing anger, annoyance, or any emotion at that. However, the fact that he was showing no emotion made the people at the naval base know what he was thinking.

Cale continued to speak to those who were looking at him.

“They will not be calling people from our naval base in the future.”

Amiru who was in charge of records hesitated for a moment before her hand quickly resumed taking notes.

People from our naval base.

She knew the reason Cale was quietly going to the capital this time. It was not because he was angry at the nobles or because he was afraid of their suppression.

Amiru and the others were thinking that the nobles may call people from the naval base in the future as well. In fact, this might be the start of them demanding more of them to show up in the future.

It wouldn’t be as bad for the northeast region's nobles, but the ones with lower titles were bound to be dragged around left and right. It was highly likely that they would be bait in the chaotic fight for power.

That was why they were worried.

However, their commander spoke in a confident voice to instantly rid them of this concern.

“Of course, I will make sure to get some information and our reward.”

Amiru clenched the pen in her hand.

This person truly was always a step ahead of others and shocked people.

She let out a deep sigh before moving her pen again.

She heard Cale's voice again at that moment, making her raise her head to look at him.

“The reason I gathered all of you here was to let you know about the fact that I am going to the capital, however, there is also another reason.”

Cale wouldn’t have gathered them here for no reason. It was easy to move around because he could teleport, however, it was difficult for him to always be at the naval base in the future.

“While I am gone.”

He made eye contact with each of them before continuing to speak.

“I trust that the Roan Kingdom’s shores will be safe.”

The room was quiet. The only person who had been talking asked to the others.
