Chapter 650: When Choosing Subordinates, You Still Have to Choose Someone Like Fox

Maple Leaf Mountain Forest, a region covered by maple trees and red maple leaves.

It was also a region closely adjacent to Double Moon Bay.

Compared to the other two regions closely adjacent to Double Moon Bay, Maple Leaf Mountain Forest had a very good advantage.

That was that its terrain was the highest.

No matter what time, what place, or what worldview, as long as it was a war, then places with high terrain like this would often hold an advantage.

Didn't you see that the Double Ring Hills side kept a million Exorcists blocked outside with just hundreds of thousands of class holders precisely because it was slightly higher than the West River Plain?

So the commander-in-chief assembling in this place was also harboring this kind of intention.

Of course, the other two regions next to it also needed manpower to defend.

It was just that Fox's entire special brigade was placed in this location.

And the remaining brigades were all arranged in the periphery as well as the other two regions.

Yes.

Maple Leaf Mountain Forest was precisely the place that manufactured the Magic Disorder Devices.

And the location of the central camp was right here.

Producing and using at the same time; only in this way could it be guaranteed that Fox's special brigade wouldn't be defeated due to lacking the Magic Disorder Device weapon.

Although the so-called special brigade was just slightly more capable of using the Magic Disorder Devices than those conventional brigades.

But in any case, Fox was someone he had promoted himself.

So there was some guarantee in terms of safety.

Or rather, this kind of dangerous device itself was a double-edged sword; apart from people he trusted, he wouldn't give it to anyone.

Although previously, due to distribution issues, the high-level executives might have given some devices to other brigades.

But that amount was not much.

Moreover, the factory had already been taken down by himself; what remained was just a matter of slowly recovering them.

As for materials, that was even simpler.

This time, after the commander-in-chief summoned all the brigades, apart from the highly combat-capable brigades, the commander-in-chief didn't touch the other brigades at all, letting them continue gathering to exchange for money and materials.

Doing this was to make long-term plans for this war.

After all, no matter how one looked at it, the sporadic undead that appeared before and the undead that appeared all at once now were artificially caused.

Since it was like this, then whether the other party would manipulate them from behind, no one knew.

So just in case, the commander-in-chief then took 'long-term' as the biggest consideration to formulate the combat plan.

"Then, let's act according to the plan."

Before coming to Maple Leaf Mountain Forest, the commander-in-chief had already dispatched manpower to investigate the situation at Double Moon Bay.

Although Double Moon Bay was now a massive 'deadland'.

But because he was now the one with the highest authority, even if everyone was reluctant, they all had to follow orders.

So when Fox's people assembled in Maple Leaf Mountain Forest, he had already prepared the combat plan.

Now that Fox's people had spent over a day and finally finished assembling, it was naturally time to start implementing the plan.

And Fox, who had just finished being busy and came to the main tent only to receive the orders and the plan, could only quietly withdraw from the main tent holding the plan.

Although he had long guessed this kind of thing when he saw his brigade actually assigned to the commander-in-chief's side, he didn't expect the other party to be so anxious.

Thus, after finding a rock and sitting down, he couldn't wait to open the plan and start reading it.

Before long, Fox, having finished reading the plan, had the urge to curse someone out.

This plan, rather than a plan, was more of a summary.

What it talked about was how to let his subordinates use the Magic Disorder Devices to attack those undead whose attributes were higher than Exorcists.

Throughout the whole piece, there was only one word: 'reckless'!

The kind of reckless where if lucky, a great victory would secure a bridgehead for attacking Double Moon Bay; if unlucky, his subordinates would suffer massive losses.

Although because the Exorcists under him were all selected from other teams, and simultaneously because his authority was greater than theirs, he could command them.

But it had to be said that under the Exorcist system, these people were still very important to him.

Especially after getting along for over a month, he had basically completely integrated the entire team.

If they were lost, it would be somewhat a pity.

Even if it was just over a month, that was still time. And right now, what he lacked the most was time.

Or rather, he fundamentally didn't have the time to go integrate a force of a hundred thousand people again.

Because the commander-in-chief wouldn't give him this time.

After all, where would a dying person have this time.

"A bit troublesome..."

Finishing reading the plan, Fox raised his hand and scratched his head somewhat helplessly, saying.

Originally, according to his script, there was ample time. After all, whether it was scouting or deploying troops, both required time.

With such a period of time as a buffer, he had ways to control the factory and that entire brigade of a hundred thousand craftsmen.

Moreover, he still needed to carry out the occupation of the entire Maple Leaf Mountain Forest.

So practically speaking, the manpower and time he needed would only be more.

As a result, who would have thought the commander-in-chief would actually be so anxious.

Completing all scouting and troop deployment in just a short one day?

No, compared to the degree of 'completion', it probably still wasn't enough, or rather, it fundamentally wasn't completed.

But under such circumstances, he actually still wanted to make him go up; this forced Fox to doubt the other party's motives.

Was he trying to consume him, not allowing this brigade of his? Or had the situation over at Double Moon Bay become even more severe after a day's time?

No one knew exactly why, but Fox knew that this 'why' was no longer important.

What was important was that he, who now had no time, was facing a choice.

Take this job and try jumping around with the undead in the bay below, staking his luck and destiny.

Don't take this job, and then be suspected by the commander-in-chief, stripped of power, and then dealt with.

Even a fool would know how to choose this kind of thing.

Yasuda Naeko: "That is to say, there's a change of plans?"

Fox Gallio: "Mm. So how long do you need on your end?"

Yasuda Naeko: "If you give me the authority for the Teleportation Array, I can go over immediately."

Fox Gallio: "Alright then. Once I handle things on my end, I will immediately get you the authority for the Teleportation Array."

Yasuda Naeko: "Still need to handle things?"

Fox Gallio: "Delaying time is always needed."

Yasuda Naeko: "Alright. Tell me once it's handled."

After the two had a brief conversation, Fox immediately threw himself into handling matters.

Originally, seeing that Fox had no movements after going out, the commander-in-chief's side thought the other party was unwilling to take this job.

As a result, not long after, he saw the other party wholeheartedly and extremely devotedly start the scheduling work, which made him feel very satisfied.

Sure enough, when choosing subordinates, you still have to choose someone like Fox.

Although he looks a bit cunning on the outside, it had to be said that he was a good subordinate capable of sharing his leader's burdens.
