The Tribal Wars

Fifteen minutes later, Yang had finished arranging her things. However, she didn't bring much with her; she was from an orphanage, where many items and personal belongings were scarce.

“Since I will be using the bed, please sleep on the blanket underneath,” Heisen said.

"Okay. Also, Heisen," Yang continued, "Can I use this cup too?"

“Maybe it's better to share it, because there's a risk of contamination,” Heisen replied.

“How much resentment have you gathered around here!?”

"I haven't earned any money yet. I just offered to avoid risks. Okay, I'll ask for supplies from the army."

Heisen created a request that delivered goods after disregarding Yang's concerns. Thus, their living environment became somewhat stable.

However, Yang's position in the fortress remained precarious. She had now applied for a job as an interpreter for the Cumons. However, she was uncertain about the duration of her detention.

The fort prohibits non-military personnel from entering. Of course, there are exceptions, as the military cannot handle every operation alone. There are also roles of chef, guard, secretary, and merchant.

When Kakuzu was available, there was no room for Yang to be a guard, and the secretary had to be at least a lieutenant. Merchants were not often present in the fortress.

…

Heisen thought about enlisting Kakuzu in the army and making Yang his bodyguard, but he didn't know where Kakuzu would go next. He believed that Kakuzu was a better officer than most generals. So he wanted to keep him as close as possible.

In addition, he was one of the few people Heisen could trust. When there are problems, having someone reliable is a significant advantage.

"Yang, do you know how to cook?"

"Yeah, at least I can. But I'm not proficient at it."

"Got it."

Yang, a black-haired young woman with a surprised expression, nodded.

Strength is the key to success.

Best regards.

"I saw a serious and complete determination."
