Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

The Captain of the Emergency Response Team was not only in charge of combat.

“Major, you’re back?”

Lucy stood up directly.

“You go ahead.”

“Okay!”

Lugh slipped back to his office.

His office desk was spotless. It was clean and there was a small potted plant on it.

Lugh sniffed and knew that Lucy had cleaned it this morning.

For no reason, Lugh felt guilty.

Before his b.u.t.t was warm, Lucy brought a kettle and poured a cup of tea for Lugh.

Lugh asked, “How are things going?”

“The busiest period has pa.s.sed. When the newcomers come and make arrangements, things will be on the right track, so it shouldn’t be so busy.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“This is what I should do.”

Lucy still had no expression when she said this.

“By the way, Major, gather the team members tonight and meet them once,” Lucy suggested. “Since they are all here now.”

“Is this good?”

Lugh was afraid of trouble.

“Many of them only know Vice-Captain Gary and not you. If they think that you are really a hands-off manager, it will have a negative impact on your prestige.”

“Then let’s meet them.”

“I’ll make the arrangements.”

That night, the a.s.sembly bell rang and all the members of the 14th emergency team gathered in the square.

Lucy knocked on the door of Lugh’s office. “Major, it’s done.”

“Okay.”

Lugh strode out of the office door.

He did not feel nervous at all. He had seen thousands of Fierce Beasts attacking the city before.

How could he be afraid of his 40 subordinates?

Lucy called out to Lugh. “Major, Wait a moment.”

“What’s wrong?”

Lucy pointed at her armpit. “Change your clothes. Your clothes are torn.”

With Lugh’s strength, it was normal for him to tear his clothes during a battle.

“Okay!”

Lugh returned to the small bedroom next door and changed into a clean military uniform.

“Is it ready?”

Lucy looked at it carefully and walked behind Lugh to help him tidy up his clothes.

“It’s ready now.”

Lugh asked casually, “What do you think I should say?”

“Just a simple introduction of yourself will do. They are all old foxes, so they definitely don’t like long speeches. As for the rest…”

Lucy said, “The Major actually doesn’t lack anything else.”

Lugh was actually a little happy to be praised by Lucy in a serious manner.

“The Major actually doesn’t need to think too much about it.”

“What do you mean?”

“The Major isn’t suited to be that kind of demagogue. You just need to be yourself,” Lucy said seriously, “You just need to let them feel your strength, your confidence, make them believe in you, and be willing to obey your orders. That’s enough…”

“I’m not sure about other aspects. The Southwest Military is always so pragmatic.”

Upon arriving at the small square, the gazes of over forty Gold-tier Beast Masters were all locked onto Lugh.

Among them were people Lugh was familiar with.

Most of these Beast Masters had heard of Lugh’s reputation, but this was the first time they had seen him in person.

He calmly walked up to the high platform. It only took him a minute or so to make a self-introduction and briefly explain his expectations of them before dismissing them.

From the beginning to the end, his expectations were very calm, and he didn’t say a single word of excitement.

Lugh also knew that Lucy was right. It was good to just be himself.

It wasn’t as good as actual actions.

Most of the Gold-tier Beast Masters who joined the emergency team had pa.s.sed their 30s.

They weren’t people who could be fooled.

“That’s it? I thought it would take at least five minutes.”

“Captain Lugh is really straightforward.”

“Can’t he be more straightforward? I like it that way.”

“He looks very steady.”

“Maybe he’s a genius. When I was 16, I was still a hothead.”

…

The next day after returning to the Emergency Response Team, Lugh received a notice for a meeting. The meeting required the Captains of each Emergency Response Team to attend and specifically discuss the recruitment of new members for the Emergency Response Team.

This matter was rather important. It wouldn’t be right if he didn’t go.

When Lugh rushed to the military meeting, more than half of the other thirteen captains had arrived.

Elisa also introduced the other eleven captains to Lugh.

The 11 Captains were more polite to Lugh.

At least on the surface.

Soon, Bania arrived and gave a brief account of the recruitment of new members for the Emergency Response Team.

In the entire Southwest Region, there were a total of 1,316 Gold-tier Beast Masters who were willing to join the Emergency Response Team and rush to Skylight City.

Among them, there were a total of 751 Gold-tier Beast Masters who belonged to the forces of the various headquarter cities.

The number of Gold-tier Beast Masters seemed to be an exaggeration.

In fact, it wasn’t much at all.

After all, the entire Southwest Region had 273 cities.

With 751 people, it would be split among 273 base cities. On average, in each base city, there were less than three military Beast Masters willing to join the Emergency Response Team…

“Our plan is to recruit 900 people. The emergency response team will accept all 751 Beast Masters from the military of each base city.”

The fourteen team leaders nodded. No one objected.

Beast Masters from the military of each base city were easier to manage.

They were also more reliable.

“There are still 149 spots left. We need to choose from the 565 Gold-tier Beast Masters we have.”

The Emergency Response Team was indeed the unit with the highest casualty rate in the Southwest.

However, the benefits enjoyed by the members of the Emergency Response Team were also the best among the various armies in the Southwest.

Half of the upper echelons of the Southwest Army were from the Emergency Response Team.

Out of the 273 Guardians in the Southwest, almost half of them were from the Emergency Response Team.

Therefore, no matter how serious the casualties of the Emergency Response Team were, there were still people who were willing to take a gamble.

“The task of this selection will be taken care of by the 13 Captains. Each of you will have your own division of labor.” Bania waved his hand, and a soldier handed out a doc.u.ment for each of them. “I need to emphasize that the recruitment of members of the Emergency Response Team is very important. From the selection process, it is true that we want to recruit strong ones, but I also hope that everyone will pay attention to the vetting process to prevent some people with malicious intentions from sneaking in.”

“Do you understand?”

“Yes!”

The fourteen team leaders replied in unison.

“Everyone, look at the doc.u.ment first. If you have any questions, just ask me directly.”

Lugh flipped through a thick stack of plans, turning to the last page before he found his name.

He was in charge of the reexamination of the qualifications, and was in charge of the last page before he found his name.

“Do you have any questions?”

Lugh raised his hand.

“Captain, what is this re-examination of the qualifications?”

“565 Gold-tier Beast Masters have gone through a preliminary examination of their qualifications in the area, proving that they have no criminal records, their family backgrounds are clean, and they have no connections with any illegal forces. However, on our side, they still have to go through a re-examination. There are cases of imposters on one side,” Bania said with a smile, “I know. This is your first time doing this kind of work. I will send a team over. Everything will be done according to the procedures.”

“Then what do I need to do?”

Lugh felt that he was fine again.

“When Captain Elisa wrote her evaluation of you, she specifically mentioned that you have a strong insight.” Bania waved his hand and smiled. “You can just take a look. If you feel that there is a problem, you can write some comments during the review.”

Elisa smiled and lowered her head.

That was indeed written by her.

The next day after the meeting ended, at nine in the morning, the qualification review began.

Lugh received the information on the profiles of 565 Gold-tier Beast Masters. The profiles were the preliminary information of over 200 base cities in the Southwest.

Back then, when those Gold-tier Beast Masters came for the review, Lugh and the others needed to conduct a comparison and check.

On the file were photos, names, places of origin, details such as gender, as well as work experience, as well as simple information about the Beast Master’s pet.

Apart from sending three secretarial staff to vet the information, Bania also sent two Star Glory Beast Masters.
