Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta Chapter 10

Maou Army's Right hand man -> Maou Army's Dagger

I thought it was Right hand man because I a.s.sumed he held an important position in the Army but this chapter clarifies it's because of his battle prowess.

(Orc Chief of Staff, Jiron's, POV)

Really just what in the world is our master Ike thinking?

Shifts?

What's that?

Giving humans rewards?

What's up with that?

I haven't heard of such a precedent.

Normally humans caught by the army are slaves.

Things like rewards weren't given.

They were granted the bare minimum amount of food and whipped into working. This is common sense.

In my grandfather's grandfather's time, this was how we ruled humans.

We're changing after all this time? Don't be a fool.

That's what I wanted to say but didn't.

For demons, we never go against demons superior to ourselves.

That's a iron clad rule. But even more than that, is the respect I have for master Ike.

a.s.signed under master for 3 years, I at first thought that I was a.s.signed under a greenhorn but now I have complete faith in him.

Well of course it would turn out like this.

Since master formed this Undead Brigade, the military gains have been remarkable.

5 fortresses have fallen and two towns have been captured.

Even on the battlefield, he was called the Maou Army's Dagger for defeating many forces.

If he piles up war merits at this rate, he would probably become a Corps Commander.

If that happens, then I'll become the staff officer of a Corps Commander. Such is my dream. But I think that in the near future, that dream will be granted.

That’s because the repairing of the gates this time was solved in only one month. But it's not just his physical strength but his intelligence too.

I want to take a peek once. Surely there's a lot more brains packed in there than someone like me.

Never would I have thought of such a method even in my dreams.

Shifts? Even now I don't really understand it but then after that, Master proposed a reward system and then I got it.

Ah, this person is a genius.

Master hired labourers and engineers and then split them into 20 groups. Then he has them work regardless of day or night but in turns.

Even though such a technique is outside of my imagination, master then adds a reward system to boost their motivation.

The reward system is that.

Simply put, it's dangling the carrot in front of them.

In a week, the group that worked the most will get paid a bonus. It's an extremely simple system but the effects are immediate.

If the group can enter into the top 3 rankings then their wages are increased so each group is frantically working.

The result is that the time to repair the gates was sped up 6-fold.

If the humans were to invade, they would be surprised.

"I-impossible. The Maou army can repair a fortress overnight?" they would say.

Actually the scouts coming should be surprised to see the state of the outer walls after one month.

Well at any rate, this times case really amazed me.

This incident fills me with confidence that this person will definitely become a Corps Commander.

This isn't stupid but maybe this person will become the next "Maou-sama".

a.s.serting that much, master's operations are amazing.

I definitely won't leave from under master.

Following this person will promise promotions.

Parting from him would leave one at a loss.

My head doesn't work that well but I definitely believe this.
