To everyone's surprise, the old general suddenly raised his hand and pointed at a certain young person among so many older talents without even changing his expression.
"I think she will be a good vice leader considering her experience in a large-scale war comparable to the size of this abyss war."
The one pointed out by the old general was none other than the youngest person in the group.
Ainsley Sloan.
The other team leaders and vice leaders all turned their heads to look at the little sprout among them, and they all widened their eyes in shock.
Why is it her again? The position of the whole force's vice leader is so that many team leaders think that even if they can't be the commander, they can be the vice commander.
But who would have thought that the old general would choose a five-year-old kid instead?
This is so unscientific!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA hot-blooded contestant among the leaders and vice leaders of each group suddenly raised their hand and immediately objected to the old general's decision.
"With all due respect, even if Miss Sloan is strong and experienced, she must never have led many people in a war, and her age is also there."
"I think it's inappropriate to appoint her as the vice commander of the whole force."
Other contestants who didn't want Ainsley to occupy their potential position also raised objections one after another.
The old general listened to the voice of objections calmly, but after hearing enough reasons and excuses, he immediately dismissed these people's objections with a few light words.
"She's just a vice commander. She's only going to be my assistant at most. There's no need to be really skillful in leading a troop or anything."
"Also, the reason why I chose her is because of her unique ability. Her 3D map ability is really useful for a commander like me, and no one among you has a similar ability with the same level as her ability."
"As for her age...five years old is okay. Just look at her as a mature baby or something."
"Anyway, she has already survived the cruel new century war as one of the key figures involved. She will also be at ease facing the abyss war."
The old general still had his prestige, and no matter how strong these contestants were, they also had to respect the former hero of a big country in the human continent.
Other contestants who were not humans were actually a bit dissatisfied with having a human as their leader, but Ainsley became the vice commander and she could barely count as a representative of the non-human races here.
Thus, the slight dispute was solved right away and soon, the old general started to appoint territories that the ten groups had to defend.
Since the old general also had to lead his own 100-member team but then he was appointed as the commander of the whole force, the team leader was changed to the previous vice leader and someone else took the vice leader position.
Ainsley also had to let go of her vice leader position in the team, and it was the glasses man who took her place because of various reasons.
The old general somehow already drew a rough map of the castle they currently lived in, and he also drew a simple map of the terrain around the castle.
"All of us will definitely have to be at the top of the castle and the other half will be at the first floor but our goal is to guard the two castle gates so that no enemies can come in."
The old general had counted the number of people who could create barriers and he had also activated the castle's defensive array and old barriers way before they gathered for a meeting.
Thus, there was a little bit of space for the survivors here to move around the front yard or the backyard, as long as they stayed inside the barrier.
"The team with more melee fighters will be stationed at the front yard and the backyard, guarding the two gates."
"Teams with a high number of long-range fighters will be stationed at the top of the castle."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Then, teams with more support ability users and healers will be stationed at the main hall on the first floor."
The rest of the rooms in the castle would be used to store food, supplies, medicine and clean rooms for any injured fighters.
There were many rooms in the hall, and the old general had started to transform these rooms into simple functional rooms such as warehouses to store simple weapons, medicine room, kitchen, and so on.
The old general moved fast, and the entire force of 1000 people were soon employed to prepare the castle so that they could really call the castle as their stronghold.
Those who knew arrays went to check the arrays around the castle and those who were proficient in making traps and such went to make traps around the castle.
The surrounding area was full of snow, and there was also a possibility of an avalanche, so the group had to prepare many things for the worst case scenario.
The castle became lively and full of hustle and bustle. Each team of 100 people went to their own positions and soon, they also moved here and there to fix the castle as perfectly as possible.
Although it was impossible to fix the broken castle so easily, the production-type ability users still did their best in repairing the castle's exterior plus the interior.
Those who could make weapons went to fix old weapons in the warehouse or create new simple weapons.
