Chapter 109 The Crisis of the Defense Captain

While Roger and the others were heading to the material warehouse, Wade was sitting triumphantly in the office, enjoying the mead brought from the southern part of the kingdom. 【】This kind of wine costs more than a dozen gold coins a bottle. With the income of his garrison captain alone, he can never afford such a high-end wine.But since Wade started serving the big man, enjoying such luxuries has become a common thing for him.

When Wade found out that it was the captain of the palace guard who stunned him on the city wall, he panicked for a while, thinking that his shady deeds had alarmed the king, so he sent his henchmen to arrest him.However, when Wade knew that the crime Massa had accused him of was just to watch civilians be killed, his hanging heart immediately eased.

As a high-level military officer, Wade, of course, in the eyes of the military bosses, civilians are just consumables that can be sacrificed at will.As long as I said that I didn't sacrifice those civilians for the safety of Linton pass, not only would I not be blamed, but I would be rewarded.The facts were indeed as expected by Wade. The military quickly responded to Massa's accusation through the subpoena circle, and he was also free.

Although Wade was not convicted, the incident also gave him some shock.However, Wade did not reflect on his behavior at all because of this, but instead blamed the whole thing on Roger.When the captain of the defense came, it was all because of Roger, and the hatred for him was getting deeper and deeper.

"Roger Lee!" Wade sipped his glass of wine and muttered to himself, "I won't let you go..."

"Sir, something is wrong!" Wade finished speaking halfway, when his adjutant opened the door and said in a panic, "Rosberg and Massa proposed to inspect the material warehouse!"

"What?!" The news made Wade really flustered, and he quickly stood up and asked, "How did they think of the material warehouse?"

The adjutant muttered, "That Roger Lee is with them too."

"It's Roger Lee again!" Wade was furious when he heard the name, he threw his wine glass heavily on the ground and said, "This guy is always against me, I really want to kill him now!"

"My lord, Roger is with Massa now." The furious Adjutant Wade quickly persuaded him: "I heard that he has the strength of a senior silver man, we can't afford to mess with him!"

Massa stopped the charge of the undead cavalry at the top of the city yesterday with just a few bursts of grudge, and his heroic demeanor left a deep impression on many people.Wade's adjutant was also at the scene at the time and witnessed the strength of the palace guard captain, so after hearing that Wade intended to attack Roger and others, he hurriedly spoke to stop him.

After hearing what the adjutant said, Wade was also a little discouraged. Knowing that it was not the time to attack Roger, he sat down on his chair and asked, "How many shortfalls are there that have not been made up?"

After listening to Wade's question, the adjutant immediately replied: "There is still about a tenth of the gap."

After discovering the lack of supplies, Wade and his adjutant have been trying to make up for the shortfall.However, because the entire Lund Peninsula is occupied by undead creatures, it has become very difficult to purchase enough supplies, so it has not been able to make up all of them yet.

"Fortunately, let's just say that I have been exhausted preparing for the battle recently." Wade has no other choice now, he can only cheer up and say: "Let's go to the warehouse together, and adapt to the situation when the time comes. We must not let them take this Things got out!"

It may not be a big deal in the military to sit back and watch civilians being killed, but it is a felony to run out of combat supplies.If it is exposed, the military will not only not protect Wade, but will be the first to take him under the knife. No wonder this guy is so nervous.

When Wade and the adjutant rushed to the warehouse, Roger and others were already waiting for them at the door.Seeing that Wade came in a hurry, his expression was very difficult. Roger grinned at him and said, "Captain Wade, your expression is very bad. It must be that you have been too worried about the safety of the pass recently. You are really a good officer who is loyal to his duty." !"

Wade even has the intention of killing Roger now, but it is not easy to show it in front of Rosberg and Massa, so he can only smile at him reluctantly: "As a royal official, naturally we must do our best to protect the safety of the kingdom." !"

Massa came to investigate Wade under the order of King Alonso III, but he was not interested in hearing what he said here. At this moment, he said coldly: "Hurry up and open the warehouse, we are entrusted by the Privy Council to inspect the military supplies usage!"

Wade didn't dare to offend Massa, and quickly ordered the soldiers to open the warehouse door for them.At the same time, he did not forget to excuse himself, and pretended to be casual and said to Massa: "I have always been very strict in the management of combat supplies, but recently I have consumed a little supplies to strengthen the pass, but it is also within the specified range."

Wade's words let Massa find nothing wrong with it.There were rumors that the undead army was going to attack the Lington pass before. As the captain of the defense, he naturally had the right to use certain materials to strengthen the defense. As long as it was within a reasonable range, it would not be considered a violation.Of course, the lack of supplies in the warehouse far exceeds this limit, but the scale of the warehouse is too large, and it is impossible for Roger and the other three to accurately count how many supplies are missing.Wade is pinning his hopes on this, hoping that the warehouse with not too many supplies can get away with it.

"Why is this kid so calm? There's something wrong!" Roger on the side saw Wade's reaction in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.So as soon as the warehouse door opened, he was the first to walk in.

As soon as Roger entered the warehouse, he found that the situation was a little different from what he had imagined. The warehouse that was half empty was almost full now.He immediately understood that Wade must have found a way to make up for the shortfall, and he couldn't help thinking to himself: "Hmph, if you can make up, I can get it, whoever can spend more!"

At this time, Rosberg and the others who were walking behind also entered the warehouse, and they came out at a glance. The shortage of supplies in the warehouse was far from as serious as Roger said, and they couldn't help showing puzzled expressions.Massa even frowned slightly looking at Roger's back, feeling that he believed his words and came to inspect the warehouse with great fanfare, which was a bit too rash.

Wade saw both of their reactions in his eyes, knowing that this incident was basically over, he couldn't help but proudly looked at Roger's back and said to himself: "You want to bring me down? Just dream! This account will be settled with you sooner or later." !"

Although Wade had vicious thoughts in his heart, he still respected Rosberg and Massa on the surface, and said with a smile: "Please check casually, I will stay here and wait for the hearing of the two at any time."

Wade's guilty look made Rosberg and Massa hesitate, wondering if they should continue the inspection.On the other hand, Roger was not polite, turned around and asked with a smile: "Master Captain, can I go inside?"
