Yes, that must be it.
Why else would the chiliarches, Gregory and Anthony, be so blasé about women staying in the army camp?
It was because in their opinion, women staying in the army camp was not a big deal. However, the opposite sex was never allowed to stay in conventional forces!
Dorodo belonged to the City-State Union. Although it was under Dragon Kingdom’s control, management was too lenient.
Was that why the military discipline was so lax?
“Are there women in the base?” Frank asked solemnly, looking at Gregory and Anthony.
Gregory’s eyelids twitched, and Anthony’s expression turned ghastly. However, they did not lie and nodded together.
“Yes, there are women in the base.”
“What’s going on? Gregory, explain!” Frank chided, his tone turning harsh.
Looking at the solemn-looking Adrian, who was exuding anger, Gregory said after a moment of hesitation, “It… It’s like this. It’s been over a month since Commander Jokerman brought his wife to live in the army camp. Perhaps because of his influence, his son George also brought a woman into the army, but he’s not married yet…”
Not married, which meant George was not married to the woman he brought into the army camp.
It made some sense if someone brought his wife. However, the woman he brought here was not his wife.
Was he not disregarding military rules and treating the army camp as his home?
“What about the others?” Frank continued asking.
