Yu briefly communicated with the personal guards, and the atmosphere in the carriage became increasingly warm and friendly. It was only after about thirty minutes that the vehicle finally stopped.
Everyone got off, and what greeted their eyes was a beautifully designed mansion.
“Everyone, this is my home, and it will also be your workplace and living space in the future. I hope you all can live happily here. By the way, to ensure your combat potential, I have prepared some skill scrolls and equipment for everyone. I hope you make good use of them,” Yu said.
After all, Yu was a sequence-level expert. No matter how much the Mossley Great World adhered to male superiority, Yu would not lack any resources that a sequence-level expert should have.
Cultivating ten personal soldiers was truly simple in Yu's eyes.
After speaking, Yu appointed the squad leader as the captain of the personal guard and the squad vice-captain as the vice-captain. She then gave the two some daily tasks before turning and walking into the mansion.
No matter how kind Yu was, she could not spend every day and night mingling with these rough soldiers. Just because Yu appeared so approachable, did these soldiers think they could just get close to her?
What a beautiful dream! Even fate beasts wouldn't dare to arrange things like that—because it simply didn't conform to the most basic logic of hierarchy!
Fortunately, the ten people present were not so foolish as to fantasize about such things...
The ten lined up neatly, and the captain stepped forward to begin the orientation speech.
“Starting today, we are Lord Yu's personal guards. Although Lord Yu is just a woman, she is still a sequence-level expert, and I believe you all know what attitude to adopt towards a sequence-level expert.”
Everyone nodded.
In any world, strength speaks for itself. Ordinary people must show respect in front of sequence-level experts, regardless of what form they take or how they look, even if they resemble a rat—one cannot afford to lack the respect that is due.
“Alright, let me explain our work,” the captain said, pointing to the back.
“The entire mansion is divided into the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard is Lord Yu's residence, and it is a restricted area for us. The outer courtyard is our living and working area, and we are responsible for the defense of the outer courtyard, as well as accompanying Lord Yu in battles.”
“Additionally, there is a steward in this mansion, who holds an equal status to ours. This steward, named Yan, cannot directly command you, but... well, you all understand, some small tasks still need to be done,” the captain continued.
The steward and the personal guards belong to two different systems, but within the same circle, there is a hierarchy. Normally, the steward would not manage the personal guards, but in certain situations, such as when it comes to trivial matters like cleaning, if the steward speaks, how could a soldier refuse to comply?
However, these are indeed small matters.
“As for the skill scrolls and equipment provided by Lord Yu, I will fetch them from the steward. We will distribute them during dinner.”
“Understood,” everyone nodded. The captain waved his hand, and the vice-captain stepped forward, leading the remaining eight back to the dormitory.
...
The dormitory was spacious, with single rooms, much better than the large barracks accommodating 150 people.
Wen Yu quickly washed up and lay down on the bed for a moment. Soon, it was time for dinner.
In the personal guard's exclusive cafeteria, Wen Yu saw Yu once again.
At this moment, Yu was wearing a white dress, looking like a blossoming flower, vibrant and enchanting. Behind her, the captain and vice-captain each carried a large box. With a nod from Yu, the two opened the box, revealing ten skill scrolls and a complete set of individual combat equipment.
Yu spoke again.
“These equipments are much better than what you had in the army, and as for the skill scrolls, let the captain take charge of the distribution.”
