What I seek is not redress for sin, but salvation from sin itself or even sinful thoughts. I'd rather not be at peace until I reach the ultimate goal.

The fierce clash between the 65th and 67th Legions was eventually suppressed by the soldiers of the Lancer Legion led by Cabitus, and all the officers of the two legions who participated in the clash were captured by the Guards Cavalry.

The so-called Guards Cavalry, that is, the 1,000 Guards Cavalry under the command of Bai Feng who were originally commanded by Steve; in view of the sensitivity of the battle and the end of the war, after returning to the east of the empire, the official title of the Guards Cavalry became the Guards Cavalry.

From the overseer cavalry to the personal guard cavalry, the iconic green clothes and green armor of this thousand cavalry have not changed in any way, including the three legions that have recently been assigned to Bai Feng's command, who does not know that these green clothes and green armor knights are the personal guard knights of Bai Feng, the god of war in the feather forest.

Therefore, in the face of the capture of the Guards cavalry, the officers and men of the two legions maintained due restraint, and no one dared to wave their weapons and fists at the Guards Cavalry, until the Guards Cavalry came and went like the wind and took away all the officers involved in the conflict.

It was impossible for the Elder Inspector and the Commander of the Krefel Legion not to show up for such a big thing in their own legion, and as soon as the front foot personal guard cavalry brought dozens of captured officers to Bai Feng, the two rear legion leaders rushed in.

Looking at Bai Feng, whose brows were tightly knit and his face was pale, the Elder Eric, who was a taller of the two, lowered his posture and took the initiative to ask Bai Feng for his guilt: "Lord Overseer, the last general is not strict enough to cause such a bad thing, please condemn the Overseer." ”

Seeing that the Overseer of Eric took the initiative to plead guilty, Krefel, who was still full of resentment, couldn't say anything cold, so he had to follow the wind of words and plead guilty: "General, this matter is still the fault of the soldiers of my 67th Legion, please punish the general." ”

"Hmph, do you still know how to admit mistakes?" Bai Feng, who treats ordinary soldiers with tolerance, is extremely strict with the generals and officers under his command, not to mention that the conflict incident that occurred today is not a trivial matter that can be turned a blind eye.

In the face of Bai Feng's angry glare, the Elder of the Eric Army and the Commander of the Krefel Army, who knew that they were in the wrong, had to bow their heads with shame on their faces, as high-ranking generals in the army, even if they knew about the existence of factions in the army, it was impossible for them to announce it.

"The soldiers under your command have made such a big mistake, and you, as the commander of the legion, have an unshirkable responsibility. Bai Feng, whose anger had subsided slightly, still said sternly: "I only allow you to make the same mistake once, and there will never be a second time!"

"If you are unable to command your own legions, then I do not mind choosing two more suitable commanders for your legions; ”

"No!" Eric and Krefel, who were slightly distracted, hurriedly complied.

"As for you. Bai Feng, who turned his head, pointed at the officers who were tied up with the horsewhip in his hand, and ordered in a cold voice: "Pull down all these officers who participated in the conflict, give each of them fifty lashes, and deprive them of their original positions and demote them to ordinary soldiers." ”

"No!" The Silver Shield infantrymen who were staring at each other immediately pulled down the shocked officers.

"The General (Lord Overseer) ......"

As soon as Eric and Krefel wanted to intercede for the officers under their command, Bai Feng interrupted them with a cold face: "Don't think that such a punishment is too heavy, they should be glad that the time they have been assigned to my command is too short, otherwise, they will only be left with a dead end!"

Hearing Bai Feng's strong words, what else could Eric and Krefel say, who were looking at each other, just as they were about to leave in frustration, Bai Feng, who was only left with the Temple Warrior by his side, stopped them and said, "Are you going to leave?"

"Now that the troublemakers have been brought down, it's time for us to get down to business. Not waiting for Erik and Krefel to speak, Bai Feng, whose face was full of anger, said in a gloomy tone: "You don't really think that I am a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, do you?"

Kleffel, who was full of confusion, was still thinking about the deep meaning of Bai Feng's words, and Eric, who instantly understood in his heart, said bluntly: "Lord Overseer, you mean that your anger just now was deliberately done to the officers who made mistakes?"

"Not bad. Bai Feng, who was satisfied with Eric's comprehension, couldn't help but smile and said, "If I don't curb this unhealthy trend with strict military regulations, then what will I use to suppress the factions and differences in the army in the future?"

“......”

Looking at the two who stopped talking at the mention of factions, Bai Feng restrained the smile on his face and said to himself: "I know that with your status and status, you must know the inside story of how I led the army to recover the eastern provinces. ”

"But what you don't know is how much my men paid to save their allies surrounded by an army of orcs, from holding Sunset Fortress to retreating to the province of Nice, and why did my soldiers fight to save their beleaguered allies from besieged by the Orc Army?"

After a moment's hesitation, Krefel said, "This ...... Helping each other on the battlefield is the duty of our imperial soldiers. ”

"It is indeed the duty and obligation of our imperial soldiers to rescue each other on the battlefield, but you look at the 65th and 67th Legions today, can I believe that they rescue each other on the battlefield and give their backs to each other with confidence?"

"This ......" Bai Feng's matter-of-fact questioning made Eric and Krefel fall silent at the same time.

"General Eric and General Krefel, I don't mind you waving your flags for each other's factions when you are in the Imperial Capital, but I want you to be hostile to your most trusted allies because of your faction when you command your armies. ”

"You must always remember that when we fight to the death on the battlefield, the only ones who can help us defend our backs and rescue us are the friendly troops around us, not the same faction army on the other side of the Empire, this is my rule of survival on the battlefield. ”

"The last general remembers the general's (Lord Overseer)'s teachings!" the two thoughtful men were not slow to act.

"Think about it when you go back, your legion is still up to you to find a way to resolve grievances. Bai Feng, who had already achieved his goal, said solemnly: "I can use high pressure to make the soldiers dare not make excessive moves, but I can't change their hearts." ”

On the night of the outbreak of the conflict, after the army had set up a simple overnight barracks, Bai Feng took Hua Mu, a field doctor, to the camp of the punished officers.

For these officers who had been demoted to ordinary soldiers, Bai Feng left at least a hundred gold coins in condolence money, and in addition to this, Bai Feng also promised them that if they were willing to put aside their prejudices and accept friendly troops, they would be reinstated in a month.

The carrot behind the stick made these officers who were tossed enough to support Bai Feng from the bottom of their hearts; after all, it was a reward of a full hundred gold coins, which was almost equivalent to a captain's salary for about five years!
