"Not joining Team 10? But didn't you agree just now?"

Halson asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Yes, I agreed, but I didn't say let them stay in Team 10."

Connor had a vague smile on his face.

"You mean they are only temporarily staying in Team 10 and will leave before the team competition?"

When Harson saw Connor nodding, the doubts in his heart were not only not solved, but even more.

"But where can they go? You don't really plan to let them join the first team, do you?"

Halson said with wide eyes, with Connor's character, it is really possible for him to do such a thing.

The overall strength of the first team is strong. Even if there are more than a dozen newcomers, it is not something that other teams can defeat. There is no need to worry about the next team competition.

From this point of view alone, it is indeed a good choice to let these dozen potential Warcraft users join the first team.

But the problem is that the first team is the face of the escort team, and Captain Mello is counting on the first team to gain face for him.

Even if there was only a one in 10,000 chance that these Warcraft users would reduce the strength of the first team, Captain Mello would not let them join.

If Connor secretly transfers them to the first team, Captain Mello will definitely ask Connor to accuse him, and then the already tense relationship between the two will become even worse.

Although Halson has always supported Connor, he does not want to see the two people who belong to the same faction become enemies.

What's more, Mello is still the captain now. If they really want to break up, Connor may not care and won't be affected much, but his life in the Guards will not be easy.

Therefore, Harson did not want Connor to transfer these newcomers to the first team. Just when he was about to persuade him, Connor shook his head and said:
"I would like to do this. The competitive environment and abundant resources of the first team can quickly develop the potential of those Warcraft users, but that old stubborn will definitely not agree."

There was a hint of pity in Connor's tone, and it was obvious that he had really had this thought.

Halson breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Of course he knew who the stubborn old man in Connor's mouth was referring to.

It seems that Connor still has a sense of proportion and knows that now is not the right time to make the fight with Captain Mello public.

"The competition between the two major chambers of commerce is fierce these days. The president specifically asked me not to argue with him, so as not to push him completely to the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce, so I gave up the idea."

"The president already knows that there is a connection between Captain Mello and the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce? How does he react to this?" Halson asked curiously.

Connor snorted and replied:

"Hmph, that stubborn old man didn't want to hide his connection with the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce at all. It would be weird if he wasn't discovered. He just wants to use this to threaten the president and get the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce to resume its support for him."

"At the same time, he can also win over the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce. For example, the two elf balls on his waist can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"As for the president's reaction, it can be seen from the fact that he advised me not to argue with him. He mainly focused on appeasing me."

Hearing Connor's answer, Halson frowned, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction:

"Why does the president want to appease a traitor? Melo of the Melo Corps is obviously a loser. He wavers between the two chambers of commerce and takes the opportunity to get support from the two chambers of commerce. The more the president appeases him, the more he becomes He is confident, doing this will only encourage his arrogance!"

Hearing this, Connor cast an appreciative look at Halson: "Very good, your brain is quite salvageable."

"But you can see what that stubborn old man is thinking. How could the president not see that the appeasement is only temporary? After all, he is still the captain, and he still belongs to our Blue Ocean faction."

"We can't attack him without reason, otherwise the people below will feel chilled. Let's let him be proud for a while. It won't be long before he has to step down from the position of captain."

When Halson heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"You mean"

"He thinks he can move between the two major chambers of commerce calmly, but he doesn't know that the two major chambers of commerce are not like the escorts, which can easily check and balance him. Soon he will be counterattacked, and I won't need to take action by then. The two major chambers of commerce will The rage was enough to consume him.”

Connor gave the answer Halson wanted to hear.

"In this case, wouldn't you be the captain?"

Halson said excitedly.

"It can't be that easy. The Yaojin Chamber of Commerce will definitely stop it in every possible way, so I still have to improve my strength as soon as possible and master more powerful teams."

Connor's tone was firm.

"All your teams are ranked in the top ten. Isn't that enough?" Halson said in surprise.

"Of course it's not enough. Although the first team is powerful, they are all arrogant. In addition, most of their families have interests in Mello. I haven't been able to completely conquer them yet."

"The strength gap between the remaining teams is not big. Snake and Will will definitely join forces to fight me. No one can figure out the thoughts of Wise's smiling fox. The only helper I can confirm is you, but your subordinates The strength of the team.”

Connor didn't finish his words, but his disgusted expression said it all.

Harson covered his chest and said: "Boss Connor, there is no one like you. I am your only helper. If you don't praise me, it's fine. You are still beating me here."

"I'm trying to motivate you. The strength of your team is really not good enough. Among the captains, the only one named Watson was pretty good, but he packed up and left."

"I don't know what you were thinking. You knew you would be held responsible if the mission was not completed, yet you sent your strongest captain out."

Connor said while glaring at Halson.

Halson felt very aggrieved: "I didn't want to send him there either. He went to Mello to take over the task himself. This kid wants to prove himself so much that I can't persuade him at all."

"Since you have discovered his problem a long time ago, why didn't you enlighten him and instead let him sink deeper and deeper? As his squad leader, you can't even do this little thing well, and you still have the nerve to feel aggrieved!"

Connor taught him a lesson.

Halson also realized his mistake, he lowered his head and said:
"Sorry, Boss Connor, I was negligent. I will find a way to recruit Watson back into the guard team."

When Connor heard this, he became even more angry. He raised his hand and gave Halson a bang:
"I just finished praising you, and you started to get confused again, didn't you? Don't forget the reason why Watson left the Guards. Do you want to offend those two directors?"

Halson was shocked when he heard Connor's reminder.

Yes, Watson took the blame for the two directors. If he recruited him back, wouldn't it be equivalent to a slap in the face of the two directors?

"So, Watson will never be able to join the Guards again?"

Halson still values ​​this capable subordinate very much.

"It's impossible in a short time. As for the future, it depends on whether I can become the captain." Connor clenched his fists and said.

"It seems like the captain can't offend the director, right?"

Halson asked cautiously.

"That's because the old guy Mello is incompetent!" Connor said angrily: "When the Guard was first established, the directors had to give in before the captain. They were not as bossy as they are now."

"It wasn't until Mello took over the Guard and brought over the interests of the businessmen that the Guard was gradually corroded, and its strength dropped significantly. It also made us unable to hold our heads high in front of those businessmen!"

When Halson heard Connor's complaint, his expression suddenly changed. He looked around hurriedly, and after confirming that no one was paying attention to them, he lowered his voice and said: "Boss Connor, don't say anything outside. If other people hear this, you will not be able to gain a foothold in the escort team!"

Connor also knew that what Halson said made sense. He took two deep breaths to calm down, and then smiled apologetically at Halson:
"Sorry, I lost my temper a little."

"It's okay, I understand. To be honest, I've had enough of this kind of humiliation, so I will firmly support you."

Halson said with a smile.

Connor nodded slightly: "Thank you for your understanding, I will not let you down."

"Let's not talk about this for now. You haven't told those Warcraft users where they are going."

Halson changed the subject and said that he was afraid that Connor would say something he shouldn't have said.

"They'll go to a new squad," Connor replied.

"A new team? Our escort team is setting up a new team? Just for these dozen Warcraft users?"

Halson asked in disbelief.

"More or less, the two presidents and directors are aware of the problems existing in the escort team, but unlike my thorough reform, they plan to first establish a brand-new team, and then gradually promote it and slowly ban the original team .”

This was not Connor's own guess. Before he came to the Guards headquarters, he was summoned by Director Gavin, who revealed this information to him and hinted that he had this team firmly in his hands.

"I see. No wonder you want these Warcraft Envoys. When a new team is established, they will definitely be in your hands. Then you will be able to have a fifth team."

"And since this team has huge potential, there is no need to worry about team competition. Who ranks them the lowest? They can only challenge other teams."

"The key is that the Warcraft users in this team don't have that complicated relationship. With your ability, you should be able to defeat them quickly."

"In other words, as long as they don't die on the way, sooner or later you will be able to control a 'First Team' that is completely obedient to your orders!"

The more Halson talked, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but dance.

"It's not as simple as you said. Not everyone in the first team can replicate it, but in any case, with this brand new team, I have more confidence in reform."

It's obvious that Connor is also looking forward to this new team.

"Do you still want to reform? I think the directors' method is very good. Just take your time, you won't be able to become a Kirby beast even if you take one bite."

Halson said carefully, for fear of angering Connor.

Connor was not angry when he heard this, he just shook his head and said:
"This method can still be effective at the beginning, but as time goes by, it will still be corrupted by interests."

"Although I hate to admit it, the interest network established by Mello is really deep-rooted. The Guards are rotten to the core. Only thorough reform can restore the Guards to their original appearance!"

"And their method is too time-consuming. Those nobles will not wait for us to gradually increase our strength. Once they wait for them to decide a new overlord, our Guanhai City will be annexed by them sooner or later."

Halson had a hesitant expression on his face: "No, I guess they will fight for a long time."

"Huh, when did you learn how to estimate businessmen? They may be very accurate when estimating the benefits of goods, but war is different from trading. No one can predict the outcome."

"If nothing else, let's take our neighbors as an example. Before Baron Lane rose, who would have believed that he could swallow up two towns in one fell swoop and become an emerging force that we should all treat politely."

"Don't you know how to estimate? Based on the speed at which his power is expanding, how long will it take for him to swallow us up?"

Connor said with a sneer.

"This"

Halson didn't know what to say for a while. With Ryan as a living example, no matter how he argued, he seemed extremely weak.

Connor sighed softly: "Alas, those businessmen are used to living a peaceful and prosperous life, and have long forgotten the humiliation of more than ten years ago."

"The purpose of establishing the Guard was to no longer be bullied by the nobles, so they formulated a series of rules that prioritized strength. This also made the Guard's strength no weaker than that of any knight order."

"It's a pity that they were scared out of their wits by the nobles at that time. No matter how strong the guards were, they didn't dare to blatantly pursue the nobles' territory. Instead, they learned the tricks of Poseidon Temple."

"The internal fighting among the nobles in recent years has weakened their sense of crisis, and they no longer attach importance to the construction of the escort team, so that the strength of the escort team has dropped again and again."

"It wasn't until the recent rapid rise of Baron Lane that they had a little sense of crisis, but it was still not enough. As long as the Guards still involve the interests of businessmen, it is impossible for the Guards to become stronger, and reform is imperative!"

After hearing this, Halson realized that he could not change Connor's mind, so he had to remind him in a low voice:

"Your reforms are destined to harm the interests of the majority of people. They will try every means to obstruct you. This road is not easy. You must be extra careful."

Connor smiled and patted Halson on the shoulder:

"I know, I don't need you, a follower, to remind me."

Halson knocked his hand away angrily: "Those were childhood nicknames, why do you still mention them!"

"Now don't you like to follow me around all day?" Connor then joked.

"I, I, am here to help you find and fill in the gaps!"

"Tell me about you. You are usually so smart. Why don't you think about hiding your thoughts on reform? If you insist on confronting Melo, it was a sure thing that you would take over as captain. Now you are not sure. Those people will not Let you successfully take over as captain."

Halson, in turn, began to teach Connor a lesson.

Connor did not refute, just nodded and said: "I was indeed a little impulsive at the time, so I listened to Mello in everything during this period, creating the illusion that I had given up on reform."

"Then why did you use the first team to stimulate Mello just now?" Halson asked in confusion.

"Giving up reform does not mean that I will not compete for the position of captain. If I change too quickly, it will also make the worms in the guard have doubts."

"On the contrary, only by showing that I covet the position of captain will they believe that I am willing to give up the idea of ​​reform in order to compete for the position of captain."

Connor opened his mouth to explain.

"Tsk, it sounds confusing. Why do you think you are working so hard to reform?"

"Of course it is to restore the glory of the Guards so that we will no longer be submissive and Guanhai City will no longer have to be bullied."

Connor replied decisively.

"Then the question is, if Guanhai City changes its owner, wouldn't these problems be solved?"

Halson spread his hands and said.

"How is that possible? You are talking nonsense."

Connor was suddenly stunned. Thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said! (End of chapter)
