He had already considered running away with the bucket. If this Puff found out he was there, it would be difficult to leave. Once he was registered by the person in charge of personnel, it wouldn't be so easy for him to leave.
"It really is you! You actually came all this way?"
Puff stood in front of Joey, his right hand touching his chin, looking as if he were admiring the scenery.
"Captain Pouf, hello. After all, Lady Catherine personally invited me, so I couldn't refuse. I hope you'll take care of me in the future!"
Seeing that things had come to this point, Joey decided to act accordingly. Since Puff had disliked him from their first meeting, he had to quickly bring up Catherine to prevent Puff from taking revenge.
"Of course, since Lady Catherine personally selected you, I will naturally take care of you!"
Puff chuckled softly, then looked at the bearded man next to Joey, his eyebrows rising higher and higher.
"dwarf?"
Before Pouf could finish speaking, Joey quickly stepped forward to explain, "Captain Pouf, he's my brother, my own brother! He came with me this time to serve Lady Catherine!"
"Do you think I'd believe what you're saying? I doubt even the people around you would."
Puff turned his gaze to David, who was standing next to the bearded man, and gestured for him to speak.
"Captain Pouf, although they do look a bit different, Sam is indeed Joey's brother!"
David, the soldier who paid for the drinks yesterday, had already been forced into his head by Joey the idea that the bearded man was his brother. When Pouf asked him about it at this moment, he naturally didn't hesitate and just said it.
Puff's expression changed, and he then looked at the others.
"Captain, those two are really brothers!"
Clearly, Puff had not anticipated this situation at all. These soldiers not only knew Joey and Beard's names, but were also quite certain that the two were brothers.
His face had turned completely black.
"New recruit training, you two go run 20 laps first!"
Puff, already embarrassed, yelled at Joey and the bearded man, then kicked them out of the group, wanting to avoid seeing them.
"yes!"
Joey straightened up and replied, then grabbed the bearded man and went for a run.
"If I'd known I was going to be running, I shouldn't have worn this heavy armor!"
The bearded man was filled with regret. He had just been happy to wear this heavy armor, but now he was starting to regret it.
"You all probably know about what happened yesterday when Lady Catherine and I encountered orcs!"
"As soldiers of Ashfury, we have a responsibility to protect the people here. We must hold this outpost until the reinforcements sent by Ashfury arrive!"
"Therefore, starting today, all soldiers' leave is cancelled, armor must not be removed, weapons must not be left behind, and outposts are to be on alert, with no entry and no exit, ready to respond to any orc attacks at any time!"
Joey, who was running laps around the training ground, also took Pouf's words to heart.
"It's over, I'm really not going anywhere this time. Companies like to do background checks when hiring, but when you're looking for a job, you should also do a background check on the company, otherwise you'll really want to take a pill to undo your mistake!"
Before Joey's gloomy mood could be relieved, Puff's next words reached his ears.
"Because it's an emergency, this month's pay will be issued in advance. You can collect it from the quartermaster after the party is dismissed!"
This is great news! On my first day at work, I haven't done anything yet, but I can already get paid. Even civil servants in my previous life didn't get this kind of treatment! This Puff is quite good at winning people over. First, he gave everyone a big stick, and then he gave everyone a sweet date. He's quite a skilled team leader.
As soon as Puff finished speaking, a cheer erupted from the ranks; this sweet treat had truly been put to the right place.
With Puff gone, the team disbanded on its own. But since it was the first time Joey had been assigned to run laps by Puff, he didn't dare to cut corners and could only speed up to finish the 20 laps as soon as possible so he could go to the quartermaster to collect his pay.
