Very early in the morning, a group of soldiers walked into the army barracks and started picking up a few soldiers. They were approached while they were still asleep.
"..."
"What is this? What the Fuuuuxxxx do you think you're doing?"
A bucket of water was thrown to the soldier and he quickly awoke in panic, 5 fully uniford and ard soldiers stand before him. One of the higher ranking soldiers spoke to him:
"You are needed for questioning."
"What for? Why?"
"Just co with us." .
The poor soldier still in his sleeping clothes was taken to the headquarters, there seed to be a few other soldiers taken, and currently waiting for a summon, everyone looked nervous. They were taken inside one by one, and finally, it's his turn.
Inside the room, there were a few people sitting behind a long table facing at him. The one in the middle was the Starbase Leader Alex, there were two other people he recognized, one was his platoon leader nad Chris and the other one was another unit leader, nad Dylan. He was suddenly frightened.
"Na, Platoon, and Battalion number"
"..."
"It's... Yuda, Platoon 077, 8th Battalion."
"You are here, standing trial for a cri, the accusation is desertion."
Farell the one who asked the question, Alex will be the one giving the sentence.
The accused was Yuda, one of Barry's n, at the critical mont, he and two other n ran and left the fight. Looking at Dylan and Chris, it seed it's really hard for him to get away with it. At that ti he said he went to find help, but actually, he hid in one of the safer warehouses.
"I didn't desert, I went to find reinforcents... believe ."
"So did you?... Did you find so?"
"....No... I got lost, it was very dark, and I panicked."
"Do you know what happened to your unit leader?"
"Yes he died... believe , I really liked that guy, we were really close."
Hearing his answer, Alex whispered to the n standing next to him...
"So?... What do you think?"
"It's obvious don't you see... Even not using my ability we can tell... All lies."
The man standing next to him was Theo.
Alex gave a signal and a mont later, the soldiers brought another 2 n into the room. It's the two n who also left that sa night. The one nad Rofi actually did go looking for reinforcents.
"The army finds Rofi not guilty, but as he went away without the unit leader's permission, you will be sent back as a trainee, until reinstated as a regular soldier."
"For you both, you are found guilty of desertion! You will be stripped off from your military rankings and will be classified as probation citizens for one month."
"During this one month, you will keep working like all normal citizens, but you will only receive one voucher per day, and in the event, you create another trouble, you will be sent away from the base."
Yuda was baffled hearing the sentence, he didn't want to argue if he was guilty or not anymore...
"On what authority did you give the sentence??!!"
"You are not the president, you are not a judge, you are not even in the military or any governnt institute, you have no right to sentence . I ca here as a volunteer. I ca from Black Snake Island, you took away your authority over us by killing our employer..."
"The situation that night was grave, I knew we won't stand a chance against that big mutated cats, so running was the smart thing to do."
Alex gave a slight smile, there will eventually be people who will not follow him, he was actually surprised it took so long before the first one to challenge his authority appeared.
"...Mr. Yuda, since the beginning of the doomsday, how many people did you save? how many monsters did you kill? I'm not gonna compare numbers, but what you did to the people around you will define who you are... Most of these people around this base chose as their leader, at least the army did. Another thing, the place you slept at, the food you ate, also ca from ... Let's just say, as I am the hoowner and you are a guest, you must follow the house rules."
"But you have a good point, I will not force anyone to follow , let's just say the first two weeks, I accept everyone because of my philanthropist nature. You have eaten my food, you have received the safety and comfort of a bed, but from this day on, everyone can choose to follow my rules, or leave..."
The n next to Yuda were terrified to be sent out of the base, he accepted his punishnt. As for Yuda, not only did he decided to leave, he influenced and took dozens of other n with him. He's a Bali local, he knew the surroundings, he also already ate a few of the spirit stones, he thought he could survive with this small group. It was his choice.
Alex took half a day to sort all the sentences and then continued on with his main agenda. So were told to stay in the room, they were Farell, Karra, Jerry, Adnan, Donny, Benny, and Sandi.
"Any of you understand why I asked all of you to co and observe all of these?"
"You are planning to create a new justice system..." Farrell said.
"Yes, but not only that, very soon we will need to expand and take campaign across the sea, it will be very hard for us to communicate. I will need all of us to have the sa system.. An agreent on how we will manage all the survivors. All 7 of you will be the highest ranking officers on site, the Star Army War Council. I need all you to have the power to uphold justice."
Division Commander will be the highest rank within his Star Army. One division will have at least 5 battalions and also will be supported with a support unit of 2000 n. A combination of administrators, workers, scavengers, and dical personnel. They will be supplied with a few vehicles and boats, they will be the star army expansion force.
Benny's Division will go to the East Nusa Tenggara province.
Adnan's Division will go to the West Nusa Tenggara province.
Karra's Division will go to the East Timor Province.
Farrell's Division will go to the East Java Province.
Sandi's Division will go to Lombok Island.
Three Divisions will go to the islands east of Bali. One will go to the West, with the presence of Jake Randall and General Rico, one division should be sufficient. As for Sandi's division, Lombok island is the closest island to Bali, so Alex assud he will not leave for long or will be able to control both islands, especially because there were still 25.000 more soldiers still in training as support.
Jerry's Wolf Platoon will go support the East Divisions and Donny's Tiger Platoon will support the West Divisions, Alex also planned to go to Java island. First, he needed to gather both Jas Randall and General Rico's Army in preparation for the Doomsday Pillars that will drop in Java island. Secondly, yesterday's battle settled his food problems, but now he had a shortage of bullets. Alex planned to visit so of the military bases and ordnance factories in Java Island.
For the East Campaign, Alex gave them a few days to prepare. The boats were also limited so it will take a few rides to move the 20,000 plus n to the other islands. But for the West Campaign, they will need to leave imdiately. The long-range ssages seed to be urgent. Before leaving the eting, Alex gave them so pointers on places that were too dangerous and what their final destination should be. Alex also reminded them, their mission was to save as many n as possible.
