The Human Emperor (200-400)

C377: Geshu Han's Threat!

In an instant, the atmosphere plunged to the freezing point.

Wang Chong could distinctly feel the pair of cold eyes above him. There was little doubt that the other party wasn't just leaving him with an empty threat.

As I expected, here it comes, Wang Chong breathed out a long, helpless sigh. He had known that this would happen.

"Extreme situations call for extreme measures. If I had told lord about the matter in advance, would you have allowed us to leave?" Wang Chong had been speaking with a lowered head all along, but at this moment, he abruptly raised his head to face the commandant.

"Audacious! There is a reason why discipline is upheld with grave importance in our military. If everyone were to behave like you did, what would become of our army? Without discipline, what difference would we be from bandits and highwaymen?"

"So, does lord intend to punish us? After all that has happened?" In face of the furious commandant, Wang Chong suddenly chuckled.

"Hmph! Are you trying to hold me hostage with your contributions? Do you think that I dare not lay my hands on you?!" Fury flickered in the eyes of the commandant. "Those who have accomplishments shall be rewarded, and those who have erred shall be punished. I have already recorded down your accomplishments, and I will submit them to the Bureau of Military Personnel! But at the same time, you have chosen to act on your own accord, defying the deployment commanded of you, and leaving the formation on your own whim. If I were to let you off without any penalty, wouldn't our military laws be viewed a joke? Men, take him down!"

The Big Dipper Army commandant pointed at Wang Chong and commanded authoritatively.

Weng!

Six brawny soldiers in the ditch immediately rushed forward with military canes in their hands and encircled Wang Chong.

In order to inflict grave pain on the True Martial realm soldiers, the military canes were crafted not of wood, but steel.

"Wait a moment!" Seeing the vicious glint in the eyes of the six military enforcers, Wang Chong immediately realized that the Big Dipper Army commandant was already prepared for this situation. From the very start, the other party had intended to punish him heavily.

"Hmph! Those who disobey military orders must be dealt with according to the military laws. It makes no difference regardless of how great a contribution you have made. Take him down!" With a cold expression, the Big Dipper Army commandant pointed at Wang Chong and roared.

"Don't err any further and surrender! If you fight back, you will only add to your crimes!" Of the six, a man who seemed to be the chief enforcer bellowed ferociously as he walked up to Wang Chong with shackles in his hands.

It was normal for the targets of the military enforcers to fight back as they were being apprehended, so they would commonly prepare shackles similar to those used by the Bureau of Punishments.

But unlike those used in the Bureau of Punishments, these shackles were forged from the Xuan metal found only in the deep oceans. Furthermore, they had been enchanted, granting them extraordinary durability.

ROARRR!

As the chief enforcer stepped forward, the others also rushed forward to restrain Wang Chong's movements.

At this crucial time, they couldn't allow Wang Chong to break free.

"Presumptuous! Who dares to touch me!" Seeing that the soldiers were really going to apprehend him, Wang Chong immediately whipped out King Song's golden token and flashed it up high.

"I have King Song's token in my hands. Let's see who still dares to make a move!"

A majestic dragon was inscribed onto the golden token. Upon seeing the dragon on the token, the six military enforcers felt as if their eyes had been pierced by a needle, and their hearts suddenly skipped a beat. As if they had encountered an intangible wall, their feet came to a halt.
