I have a Synthesizer
#56 - Deferred tasks
Hawkins' eyes lit up. Another knight, very good. Although Lilith wasn't wearing armor, judging from the strength she had just displayed, there was absolutely no problem.
He turned his head to look at Klein again. This guy had just released a fireball that was as powerful as his, so he should be a warlock.
"Klein, arcanist."
"What? What did you say your profession is?"
The fel energy you released just now was fake? Am I blind? Hawkins had an expression of disbelief. He felt like Klein was joking.
"I really am an arcanist. I was summoned for this mission. I'm not only a combat member, but also the logistics for your mission. What's the problem?"
Klein looked like he was taking it for granted, which made him look a little annoying.
"An arcanist who can use fel energy? A dual-class warlock arcanist?" Hawkins began to speculate in his mind.
"As long as you have combat power, then there's no problem. Your strength is enough to deal with this mission."
The discussion between the team members didn't involve anything like command, but most of the time, he was the one talking, looking like a leader.
This was a common problem among humans. In the absence of someone in command, they would more or less listen to the opinions of someone stronger.
This was something Hawkins had thought about long ago. Doing it subtly was much better than saying it directly.
He originally thought that Klein and Lilith would have some objections, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't seem to have any intention of getting involved, which reassured him.
…
After a simple exchange, the students began to prepare. Since it was a clearing mission, the sooner the better.
However, during their preparations, Devold, the captain of the Laisas Security Department's execution team, arrived.
Everyone's eyes were on Devold. He was tall and thin, with a tired look on his face. One of his arms was still wrapped in bandages, looking like he hadn't recovered from a serious injury.
He used to be the deputy captain of the Laisas Security Department. During the battle with the Skull Society, the captain, Oak, died, and he naturally took over the position.
Devold walked up to Hawkins and stopped, seemingly already regarding Hawkins as the leader of the academy students.
"Hawkins, how are your preparations going?"
"Captain Devold, everyone has arrived and we can set off at any time."
Devold hesitated for a moment.
"Well, the Security Department is short-handed right now. We sacrificed too many brothers in the previous battle with the Skull Society.
Now, many of them are still injured and haven't recovered. So, for this mission, I'd like to wait two more days, until the morning after tomorrow, when the brothers' injuries are better, before taking action.
They are all veterans. This time we are going to the Fireblade Cult, and I don't know who will not be able to return. Letting them recover from some injuries will give them more capital to survive."
Devold spoke very sincerely, even with a hint of request.
Hawkins frowned slightly, unsure whether he should agree.
Not only him, but the others also frowned. Delaying the mission time again and again would delay their cultivation.
"Captain Devold, in principle, the night raid tonight was a pre-arranged plan, but since you have made such a suggestion, we will also consider it carefully.
The team is not my sole decision. Whether to agree or not, I still need to discuss it with the other students."
Devold nodded. "Please, Hawkins."
Hawkins also nodded at him, turned around and walked towards the other students.
"You've all heard it. Captain Devold's meaning is that the Security Department's team members are seriously injured and want to postpone the mission for two days. What do you think of this?"
The students looked at each other, none of them speaking at this time, because they didn't want to be the first to speak out.
Emotionally, Devold and these veterans had fought for Laisas to this extent. If they didn't agree, it would seem too indifferent.
Logically, as Royal Academy students, it was only right to consider the lives of the city's security forces.
Everyone understood the reasoning, but the first person to speak out was usually the one who would take the blame.
But at this time, Hawkins stood up. He knew that although it was easy to take the blame at this time, it was also the time to win people's hearts.
But no one was willing to speak first. Since Hawkins was willing to come out and take the blame, they would naturally agree to climb down the pole.
With the first person to take responsibility, everyone was naturally very happy to accept this matter.
"Well, Student Hawkins is right. I second the motion."
"Second."
"Second."
"Agree."
Hawkins' proposal was in line with people's hearts and was naturally passed.
"Since everyone agrees, I'll go talk to Captain Devold and let them rest well for the next two days."
…
Hawkins walked towards Devold not far away, preparing to explain that the student team had agreed to postpone the mission.
Devold asked with a somewhat expectant look.
"How is it?"
"Captain Devold, we have agreed to your proposal. Please let your team members rest well."
"Thank you so much. I thank you on behalf of those team members." Devold nodded and thanked him repeatedly.
"Don't mention it. We are all for the empire."
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Devold left gratefully.
The other students had already begun to leave the training ground in twos and threes. Some went to their dormitories, and some went out for a stroll.
Thank you to my favorite boy, 08a, and Ye Ying Mi Zong for the reward. Thank you to the book friends who support me. By the way, please collect.
