Organizing the troops

When it was all over, we called the officers back into the room.

They looked at us with a strange look, but General Killock just maintained a calm expression on his face as he ignored all of this.

The officers looked at me with an even stranger look when they saw their general acting this way, but I also ignored them.

Once they were all seated, I calmly said, "I have already discussed this matter with the vice general and have come to an agreement. For the next engagement, I will be the one in charge of everything. You will just have to follow my orders and everything will turn out alright."

The officers all revealed shocked looks when they heard this before turning to look at General Killock.

But they found that General Killock was looking away as if he couldn't match their gazes.

It was as if he was guilty about something and wouldn't look in their direction.

Almost as if he was giving his silent approval for this.
