"Little Rock will take over the First City Wall."

At this, Song Jungwook's expression trembled. It was surprising to see that he could sport such an expression. One would think that this situation is funny, but I thought it would not be fun for him either. If he could, he would scream right now. It was obvious why he was suppressing the urge to swear.

'Cha Hee-ra is an effective anger control disorder therapist.'

The biggest reason was that the lovely Cha Hee-ra was right next to me.

'In a war situation, the commander's order is the law. This is the same in Lindel and Castle Rock, so it doesn't matter where you came from. I am not as soft as our honey. Disobedience means that you will die.'

I wasn't sure if this was calculated or not, but it was easier to move thanks to the groundwork prepared in advance. She was the reason why I, who had only been here for one year, could have the seniors in my hands. It meant that she could solve everything that stood in my way.

I thought that I might look like a fox that sponged off Cha Hee-ra's power and force, but who cares about what others think?

The only thing that mattered was that they elected me as commander and that Cha Hee-ra was next to me.

Taking another look at Song Jungwook's face, I felt extra-grateful that she was beside me.

'His face shows that he's been betrayed.'

We were going to go different ways anyway.

The answer came when I thought about his characteristic. In the first place, he couldn't be considered competent enough to be carried. It would be better to offer him a sacrifice for Cho Hyejin's peace of mind rather than dry him out.

'I'm sorry, Jungwook.'

"The Second City Wall is the Giants Guild and the Peppermint Candy Clan... The Third City Wall is in Yeongju Tower's care. Subsequently, the Fourth and Fifth walls are formed by the Clan Alliance in the northern region of Castle Rock. As I said before, the Castle Rock Merchant Group will be in charge of the supply."

"Alright."

"Yeah."

"Okay."

"After establishing the central command center centering on the Blue and Red Mercenaries, we will unify the reporting system."

"Ah... Yes."

"Thanks to the Mercenary Queen, the atmosphere seems to be tenser. I apologize again for this. Hahaha. It's only right to be nervous, but in fact, I'm looking for a more relaxed atmosphere."

"Hahaha."

"Hahahaha."

I didn't say it to be funny. I didn't mean to make jokes, but I could see everyone quick to react.

'Puhaha.'

Everyone was absorbed in acting carefully in front of me. They were probably thinking of the possibility of getting sent straight to the First City Wall once they made a mistake. Some people seemed a little disconcerted by me, who suddenly abandoned Song Jungwook, but it was not Song Jungwook that was important to them.

I just announced the end of his modest power, and he was forced to accept it.

As the rest of the guild masters looked at me warily, I couldn't help but smile. It seemed that their relationship was not as close as I had initially thought.

"Ah. If you have any suggestions, feel free to tell me."

"Hahaha. Of course."

"If you are dissatisfied with the schedule, we will accept it after careful consideration."
