Oh my god... Is this my camp? Why does it feel like I've walked into a vegetable market? Some are yelling at each other, some are fighting, and there are many people just watching... Is this the army I maintain with that death order
Damn it... It's a mess... The whole field was almost divided into four large areas, with people accusing and shouting at each other, and there were a lot of people lying in the middle, wailing and no one cared. Could it be that Matthew and the others were all dead
"Assemble..." Although I knew my voice was not shocking enough, I thought I could at least calm some people down. Driven by anger, I drew my sword and rushed forward viciously, and the guards behind me hurriedly followed.
With a loud clatter, the slave soldiers immediately pulled up their own people on the ground and began to line up as fast as flying as I roared. Some of those who were obviously injured also stood in their own team with the help of the people next to them, and no one dared to leave even one of their weapons behind.
The soldiers transferred from the 3rd Division of the Flame Legion, relying on their strict discipline and their faith in me during the Battle of Wasteland Stone City, also lined up at the same time as the slave soldiers gathered.
And more of the new soldiers who were added to me, who were divided into two groups and standing or sitting lazily, did not move at all. Although some of them wanted to stand out when they saw the other 4,000 people starting to line up when I gave the order, they stopped when they saw that most of the people did not do so.
Angry, extremely angry, it seems that I must teach these soldiers some discipline, or my military law. No matter who they are, if they enter here, they must obey my orders, otherwise, it will not only affect my command, but also affect the future battles of the army, and even affect my own life.
"Matthew, and the law enforcement team, come out to me..."
A few seconds later, amid the laughter of the two groups of recruits and the gazes of the 4,000 soldiers who had already lined up but now hung their heads, I finally spotted the person I was looking for. ...
"Are you new recruits of the 6th Division of the Flame Legion? If not, get out of here..." I ordered a group of soldiers to help the fallen military judge, Matthew and his assistant to one side, and then I looked up and asked the new recruits. Damn it, I'll teach you a lesson...
"Yeah, haha..." Xixi shouted in a loud voice, which also contained a lot of laughter, but no one left.
"Quick-fire Nu troops, aim at them. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy! Anyone in our team who dares to disobey orders will be executed on the spot, and the executioner will be promoted immediately."
Under my command, the crossbows of 4,000 veterans were immediately aimed at the new recruits in their terrified eyes. You self-righteous local tyrants, little soldiers, I will never let you down.
"You, come out and tell me who injured my law enforcement team and my deputy?" I took the crossbow handed to me by the guard and pointed at a recruit standing in the front and ordered.
Three seconds later, with a swish and a splash of bright red blood, the recruit who heard my words but did not respond was pierced through the chest by a crossbow arrow.
"You, you, and you, all of you, come out..." After I spoke for the second time, the three people whose names I named stood up helplessly.
"Now tell me, who did it? The one on the left should speak first..."
Hesitantly, he looked at the two guys next to him, and then at the group of new recruits behind him. The guy rolled his eyes for a long time but still didn't say a word. Naturally, I rewarded him with another crossbow arrow.
"The one in the middle, you say."
“I didn’t see anything… Ah! Damn it…” When he said he didn’t see anything, my crossbow arrow pierced his stomach, and then after he screamed and cursed, I shot him to death with two more arrows.
"The last one..." I casually called out the name of the last recruit again.
"I......"
"Kill him!" I gave the order as the recruit uttered the first word, and several guards around me immediately shot him.
"Remember, from now on you should address your superiors as sir or sir. Didn't your instructor teach you how to address your superiors respectfully? Are you going to address yourself as "I" to the legion commander, ministers, or even the emperor?"
Soon, all the people who had taken action were identified, nearly 300 in total, including dozens of low- and middle-ranking officers. After driving them all to a corner, I gave the order to kill all the crossbowmen.
"Lord Hanlong, you can't do this. Most of the soldiers here are civilians from the imperial capital, and there are so many of them. If you execute them like this, it will cause big problems. And under the instigation of someone with ulterior motives, an irreversible situation may occur..." When I was halfway through giving the order, Sack's subordinate who came with me immediately stopped me.
"Sir, don't be impulsive. Our division has just been officially established..." Seeing my appearance, even Matthew, who had just recovered a little, came over to persuade me.
"Kill them, and I will take responsibility for all the problems..." He pushed the two men away and swung his hand. 1,500 crossbow arrows shot into the bodies of the 300 people in three batches. The blood quickly dyed the entire place where they were red and continued to spread.
"No, you... Sir, how could you execute your subordinates like this? You are committing murder..." A middle-level officer among the recruits struggled to stand up and loudly rebuked me while trying to approach me.
He had already said the rest of his words when a huge fireball engulfed him completely without any preparation. A charred corpse flew several meters into the air and fell into the group of recruits, causing a commotion.
"Murder? Or so you think! In my eyes, they are a bunch of trash who attacked the law enforcement team, murdered their superiors, disobeyed orders, and were passive in training. And he is a villain who slandered the imperial nobles and tried to attack his superiors.
If you want, you can sue me during your holidays, but you must know that the minimum punishment for slandering nobles and defaming superiors is to be sent to the mines as a slave.
Now, I will read out your charges for the last time. All of you, including the soldiers from the original four battalions, have committed the crime of not saving your superiors from death. However, this is your first offense, so I can punish you lightly. Matthew, watch me, 40 lashes each, starting with the new recruits, until the end of today. If anyone resists, kill them all.
Oh, I forgot to read out the military discipline and regulations of our army. It is actually very simple. I guarantee you will remember it immediately. That is, no one shall disobey my orders, otherwise they will be killed without mercy! " With that, I took Auf away, and I left the guards to Matthew, otherwise they would be beaten half to death, and it would be troublesome if something unexpected happened.
I returned to my residence angrily. When I saw Yaruo wearing a weird, slightly bloated outer coat, all my unhappiness was almost blown away by her appearance. Is this still an elf? Her body seemed to be bloated. Although it did not affect her beauty, it still gave me a weird feeling.
