Chapter 581 A few casual comments

?When the officers saw me looking at them with a smile on my face, they couldn't help feeling a chill run down their spine.

But after that, they couldn't help revealing strange looks.

After all, they were proud officers of this elite army under the fourth prince, they shouldn't be scared by someone like this Count Zwein.

He was someone that had gotten the position through connections and not someone that had obtained this position through merit. So there was no reason for them to be scared of him in the first place.

But when they saw this smile on his face, it was this strange feeling that filled them.

It was as if they were looking at the smile of a devil...

Was it just his face or was it something else?

Finally, the vice general took the lead by saying, "General, though it was the fourth prince's order for you to take over as the general of this army, I don't think that you have had the time to understand everything about our army yet. How about leaving the management of the army to me for now while you acclimate yourself?"

The vice general's words seemed like he was trying to help, but it was clear what he was implying.

"You are unskilled, don't try to take command of this army from me."

But one could understand why he was acting this way.

I was someone who didn't have any experience at all, so there was no way that they would be able to trust me to command them. This was a matter that concerned their very lives, so naturally no one would risk their lives like this.

I didn't back down though as I said, "I want to talk to everyone first. When I point at you, come over so I can have a private chat with you."

Everyone immediately looked at me with strange confused looks, as if they couldn't understand what I was saying.

However, I just calmly pointed at one of the officers that was sitting there.

This officer revealed a surprised look when he saw that I was pointing at him, but he didn't come over right away.

Instead, he looked at the vice general, as if he was asking for his opinion first.

The vice general didn't have any expressions on his face as he looked at me. All he did was narrow his eyes as if he was judging me.

After a long moment of silence, he turned back to that officer and gave a nod as if he was saying that it was fine.

It was only then that the officer came over to me.

I waved my hand for him to lean in and when he did, I leaned over to whisper in his ears.

No one was able to hear what we were saying, but the face of the officer quickly changed. It went from a surprised look to a shocked look before turning completely dark.

The way that he looked at me, it was almost as if he was saying, "How do you know this?"

I didn't say anything in response to this and just said, "You can go sit back down now."

The officer looked like he really wanted to say something else, but he couldn't say anything. In the end, he had no choice but to follow my orders and sit back down in his seat.

However, this time he was looking at me with a completely different look.

It still had hostility, but there was a trace of fear in his eyes.

As well as a trace of uncertainty, as if he didn't know what to make of me.

I didn't care as I pointed at another officer.

This officer looked at me with a strange look.

He had seen what had happened with the other officer, so there was a part of him that was hesitating to come over when I pointed at him.

After a long pause, he still came over.

He didn't want to back down, it had become an issue of pride.

He walked over to me and leaned in just like the other officer.

I was surprised that he came over so quickly and obediently, but there was no reason for me to hold back because of this.

Since he offered himself up to the flames it was the same thing that happened.

From surprise to shock, from shock to a dark look on his face.

When he was sent back to his seat, he too acted like the first officer.

The other officers just couldn't understand what was happening, but they knew that something must have happened. At the same time, the bad feeling that they had from earlier was even stronger than before.

For the first time, they were scared that they would be chosen next.

When the next officer was chosen, everyone looked at him with strange looks.

He also hesitated a bit this time instead of going over right away like the other officers.

But when he did…the same thing happened once more.

Just like this, three of the officers were tamed and all of the officers were shown fear.

They had no idea what Count Zwein had said to these officers, but they knew that it wasn't normal.

They didn't want to be the next ones to be pointed at.

The vice general had been watching silently since he wanted to see what was happening, but he finally couldn't take it anymore.

The vice general suddenly stood up and came over to my side as he said, "General, if there's something you need to say, you can say it to me."

I looked at him with one brow raised, but I waved at the vice general to come over as well.

The vice general was surprised by this, but he did what I asked of him.

When he came over, I whispered something in his ear as well that caused the general to reveal a dark look on his face.

After a long silence, he looked at me and said, "How do you know this?"
