"Enough, all of you shut your mouths!" At that mont, a non-commissioned officer from the Night Watch Legion let out a displeased shout, instantly quieting the scene.
He looked at the group of Soldiers of the Second Army Corps and asked sternly, "Are you all aware of the rules of the United District? The most forbidden red line is fratricide and suicide. Now look, how many have you killed, and how many heads are there to chop?"
The non-commissioned officer’s voice was filled with murderous intent. Hearing his words, one of the Soldiers of the Second Army Corps spoke out discontentedly, relying on the presence of three Level 5 New Humans by his side, he wasn’t afraid of the sa-level Night Watch non-commissioned officer.
"Heh, fratricide," he sneered, "why didn’t those killers from the Eighth Army Corps, who killed several of my brothers in the Second Army Corps, die? Why is their punishnt just squatting in Building Eighteen for two weeks? Tell , what kind of red line is this?"
After speaking, his eyes bore intently on the Night Watch non-commissioned officer, but what he didn’t expect was that in the next second, the officer snatched a laser weapon from another Night Watch soldier and viciously smashed it toward him!
Enhanced by the power of a Level 5 New Human, the weapon flew out of his hand, whistling through the air with a "swish swish swish" sound.
Before the other side could react, a loud "bang" sounded, as the laser weapon launched by the non-commissioned officer hit him square in the face. The imnse force made it impossible to resist; he was knocked back and sent flying on the spot.
"Yang Yu, you’ve gone too far!"
Seeing one of their own sent flying like that, the color drained from the face of one of the three Level 5 New Humans among the plainclothes Soldiers of the Second Army Corps.
However, he didn’t dare to take action. Perhaps he could hold his own in a fight against the non-commissioned officer, but their operation was against the Eighth Army Corps, with whom they had already sworn a death feud. Creating further issues now would be out of line.
The Night Watch non-commissioned officer gave the speaker a cold glance, his look imbued with frostiness as he said icily, "Is it your place to speak?"
He then turned his gaze back to the three Level 5 New Humans among the plainclothes Second Army Corps, saying, "Regardless, these are the rules of the United District, ones the Chairperson has reiterated ti and again. Those who dare to cross this red line will receive severe punishnt!"
His manner was blunt and definitive; a scene that drew a round of cheers from the Eighth Army Corps.
Yet the trio of Level 5 New Humans from the plainclothes soldiers was not to be outdone. They stepped forward, defiantly saying, "Then tell ! Why have Wang Dabiao, Xu Qiang, Xiao Hu, He Qilan, Zheng Zhongjiang, Li Yongjun, and Cao Hongzhi not received severe punishnt? Tell !"
The Level 5 New Human pointed bitterly at several corpses on the ground and a few living mbers of the Eighth Army Corps ahead, yelling at the non-commissioned officer with a ferocious expression and murderous intent nearly spilling out from his eyes!
The non-commissioned officer also looked at him, coolly responding, "As for them, General Shang gave them a chance to avenge their brothers’ deaths. But you acted on your own, with no such opportunity!"
"So you’re saying that the rules set by the Chairperson can be broken at will by the generals? You an that as long as soone is strong enough, they can get away with anything, and those of us with no backup deserve to die if we make a mistake? Hahaha, that’s laughable!"
The Level 5 New Human let out a stiff laugh. Despite the laughter, he showed that he was fuming with rage to the extre.
But to his words, the Night Watch non-commissioned officer replied indifferently, "Wu Huayang, you’ve made it this far; you’re no fool. You should see through many things by now. So, don’t co here and play these hollow gas with . Moreover, you’ve got it wrong; it’s not for you to judge the actions of the generals. That’s how the world works, why do you still struggle?"
The Night Watch non-commissioned officer took a piece of paper from another soldier, which listed the casualties of the Eighth Army Corps that night, and continued to speak.
"I don’t want to waste words anymore," a Night Watch Non-commissioned Officer said with a wave of his hand, "You acted on your own, murdered more than seventy n from the Eighth Army Corps to avenge a personal grudge. Your cri is monstrous; execute them imdiately!"
Speaking, the Night Watch NCO lifted his hand and bellowed, "All present!"
"Present!"
"All mbers of the Second Army Corps here, seize them all! Anyone who dares to resist, chop off their limbs and drag them away!"
"Yes!"
At the NCO’s command, the Night Watch soldiers loudly responded, then moved in unison, pushing through the soldiers of the Eighth Army Corps who were watching, to surround and prepare to drag away the plainclothes soldiers of the Second Army Corps.
These individuals did not resist and allowed the Night Watch soldiers to silently bind them tightly with H-steel ropes.
But before long, suddenly, a light appeared in the distance, flashing across the eyes of the Night Watch NCO in the dark night. He turned his head to see a military vehicle on the street far away; the light was emitted from this vehicle.
"Who?"
"Wait for them to co closer." The NCO narrowed his eyes, watched for a while, then ordered the Night Watch soldiers to halt their current actions.
The plainclothes soldiers of the Second Army Corps brightened at the sight of the vehicle, but their expressions quickly returned to normal, revealing a cold smile as they observed the Night Watch NCO.
Soon, the vehicle drove up and stopped in front of the NCO. Upon seeing the person inside, the NCO’s eyes widened in surprise, and he briskly straightened his body, respectfully saluting.
"General Huang!" He shouted, revealing the identity of the newcor. Hearing this title, all soldiers of the Eighth Army Corps felt a jolt, exchanging glances with a very uneasy feeling.
Why had a General of the Second Army Corps co here?
The soldiers of the Eighth Army Corps were no fools; they pretty much understood the reason.
However, nobody voiced it out. For a mont, everyone’s expression turned sour. Their own General was locked away and wouldn’t be free for another two months. In this interval, the Eighth Army Corps was like a child without a mother, consistently pushed around.
Following the call of the Night Watch NCO, a soldier from the Second Army Corps descended from the vehicle. He walked from one side of the vehicle to the other, pointing at the plainclothes soldiers of the Second Army Corps surrounded by the Night Watch soldiers and shouted, "General, it’s them! No matter what I said, I couldn’t stop them, and now... it seems we are too late."
Huang Quanjiu opened the car door and stepped out, with the Night Watch NCO once again respectfully calling out, "General Huang."
Huang Quanjiu simply nodded and his gaze shifted toward the group of plainclothes soldiers, furrowing his brow.
