What was going on?
Looking at this strange situation, everyone was stunned!
Enemy attack?
Impossible! If it was really an enemy attack, how could it be so one-sided? They would definitely be killed if they wanted to fight. It was impossible for them to be completely standing here. If they weren't dead, then they were surrounded by the enemy!
Natural disaster?
Also impossible! If it was really a natural disaster, then wasn't this too much of a coincidence? How could a natural disaster choose its target? One had to know that the two battalions and the tents of the small teams weren't gathered together. There was one in the east and one in the west. How could there be such a natural disaster?
Thus, there was only one explanation!
Everyone's gaze was focused on the young commander on the high platform. Even though he was wearing armor, he didn't have much heroic spirit. Instead, he had a strong scholarly aura. Just now, only he had gone to those tents. And things were so coincidental. After he went there, something strange happened in those tents.
The one who caused the situation just now was the person in front of them, their commander!
"Registrar!"
He secretly praised You Li-er of the Book of Death. This girl's Netherworld Flame was really powerful. Not only was its killing power strong, its destructive power was simply unparalleled. In one move, it had destroyed those dregs, not giving them the slightest chance to fight back! As the commander of an army, if he didn't have prestige, then it was simply unbearable.
"Here … Here!"
Hearing Chu Rui's gentle voice, a middle-aged clerk walked out, trembling with fear. If it was a moment ago, he would have disdained this cowardly commander. But after this scene, even an idiot would know that this young man was definitely a guy who pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger. Not only was he strong, but he was also sinister and the commander of this army. If you offended him, you wouldn't even know how you died.
"Record down the people who died in the natural disaster. The dead are already gone. This commander will reward them well!"
Chu Rui's words made everyone's mouth twitch. Natural disaster? How could you say that? Are you trying to fool a three year old child? Only after killing him would they come to compensate him. What a hypocrite!
"Yes, commander!"
No matter how much they cursed in their hearts, no one dared to go against such a hypocrite and lunatic who killed without batting an eyelid. Moreover, this fellow was their commander.
"How many people died this time?"
Chu Rui didn't even lift his eyelids. His face still had that gentle smile.
"Reporting to the Grand Marshal, there are a total of 21,507 people! Among them, there are two generals, six deputy generals, and a chiliarch... "
The clerk answered very seriously. He was afraid that the hypocritical and temperamental guy in front of him would kill him if he didn't like him.
"Very good. Remember this marshal's words. These 21,557 people disregarded military discipline and looked down on their superiors. They were punished to death by the heavens. This marshal complied with the will of the heavens and stripped them of all their military merits. They were expelled from the army and became refugees. There will be no compensation after their deaths. Furthermore, their deeds will be spread back to their hometowns. Depending on the situation, their families will be recorded as slaves."
Chu Rui's indifferent words caused the group of soldiers below to explode in an instant. This kind of execution was too cruel. It was even more heartless than murder. They were already dead. Moreover, their military merits were stripped from them. They were even stripped of their military status and became refugees. What was a refugee? It meant that they had no household registration. They were equivalent to bandits and bandits. They became refugees and died of natural causes. There would be no compensation from the army. Moreover, this wasn't all. Their deeds would be spread back to their hometowns and their families would be recorded as slaves. What was a slave? It was a slave! After becoming a slave, one would be a slave forever. It was too difficult to change. This was completely equivalent to throwing their families into the abyss of eternal damnation.
Cruel. How could this be simply described as cruel? It was simply heartless and cold-blooded!
"Grand Marshal, isn't this too heavy a punishment?"
A burly man stood up and pleaded for mercy for his former colleagues. Even though those fellows had disregarded military discipline and deserved to die, they were still from the same camp. Moreover, they had also made a lot of contributions. Now that the dead were gone and no one would pursue the matter, their families were innocent. The men were the pillars of the family. Their families were already in a difficult situation when they died. Not only were they not compensated, but they were also registered as slaves. That was simply pushing them into the abyss, forcing those people's entire families to die. Killing their gods and wiping out their families. This Grand Marshal's murderous nature was too horrifying.
"What's the use of this drum?"
Chu Rui didn't answer the burly man. Instead, he pointed to the drum on the high platform of the drill ground.
The burly man's face turned red. He was suddenly speechless. Once the drum sounded, no matter who it was, they had to put down whatever they were doing and rush to the drill ground as quickly as possible. However, those people from before not only did not do so, they even swaggered around the military tents, slept, drank, and gambled... they were caught red-handed by the commander, but not only did they not have any intention of going back on their word, their attitude was instead arrogant, completely looking down on the dignity of the commander of the army. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to cut such people into pieces.
"But, isn't this too much? What does this have to do with their families? "
Quite a number of people below immediately became noisy.
"Who's talking?"
Rui's eyes narrowed, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. A terrifying murderous aura instantly enveloped the entire camp, and everyone felt as if they were being stared at by a giant beast. That oppressive aura made it difficult for them to even breathe.
"Peng peng peng peng peng …"
Countless ashes flew into the air. Those people who were clamoring below were suddenly swallowed by a small black flame without any warning. The witnesses were instantly incinerated and turned into black ashes.
Cold!
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became cold. A cold morning wind with dew blew past, causing everyone to involuntarily shiver. The gulping sounds of saliva being swallowed could be heard continuously.
If they had suspected that the Grand Marshal was the cause of the sudden explosion of those tents, then they were sure now. Everything was caused by that scholar with a strong scholarly aura. He was simply a harmless fellow.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh …"
At this time, those fellows who were standing crookedly and yawning because of Chu Rui suddenly panicked and stood up straight.
They were afraid. That's right, they were afraid!
As soldiers, they had already disregarded life and death. Indeed, they were not afraid of death. However, they were afraid of dying without knowing why. Furthermore, they would have to bear the blame of those idiots who didn't come to assemble. Not only would they lose their lives, even their families would be implicated!
