"Who is that guy?" someone asked.
They knew all the other commanders and recognized them. Hence, they had no problem obeying any commands from them. Emery, on the other hand, was a different matter entirely.
He basically appeared from nowhere in these people's opinions. Even if he was somewhat well known, the vast majority of Hemp's faction had no idea who he was.
A large percentage of them didn't even stay in the building. That was why there were thousands gathered today. They lived outside of the building, hunting and only coming to drop off beast corpses.
Of course, the few people who did know him, did their best to help the situation.
"He's the new commander, he's a chef."
Saying that didn't help matters, though.
"Why would we let a chef tell us what to do. And why would a chef be one of Hemp''s commanders? No offense to him, but what was he thinking?" someone pondered out loud.
