After Medes finished speaking, he raised his right hand, which was holding the telescope, and pointed it to another lookout tower in the distance from the castle.

Joey and the bearded man looked in the direction he was pointing, and there was a tall figure in armor looking in their direction.

Joey and he locked eyes and nodded to each other in a friendly manner.

"Where is Puff? Didn't he go to patrol the streets of the city?"

The figure was indeed Puff, and Joey greeted him politely.

"I don't know, maybe the patrol duties have been handed over to someone else!"

Medes was unaware of the arrangement; he only understood Puff's instructions and temporarily observed the surrounding activity from this lookout tower.

"Are we just going to stand here?"

Joey wasn't dissatisfied with the arrangement, but he felt the location wasn't safe. Although the altitude was good and the view was excellent, it was also a drawback. If the enemy attacked, these watchtowers would definitely be the first strongholds they would take down.

"That's how it is for now!"

Medes was also helpless.

"Can't we be more flexible and adaptable, instead of being so rigid?"

Joey was unhappy; after all, he was a squad leader.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that his confidence was waning. The Saibanda Fortress had been under attack for quite some time, and although he was the acting captain, he had no one else under his command besides Medes and the bearded man. The squad's structure was incomplete and severely inadequate.

"Field Admiral Garp said that if you come, we'll follow your orders!"

Medes thought about it and figured that this would make Joey happier.

"Hey, that makes things easier!"

"Let's go downstairs. We'll leave these guards to watch over things here, and we'll go patrol the streets!"

As Joey spoke, he grabbed a somewhat worn helmet from the watchtower and put it on his head, leaving only his two dark eyes showing, before walking down the tower.

The bearded man and Medes followed closely behind.

"You just left like that?"

Puff, watching from the opposite observation tower, merely shook his head in disdain.
