Upon arrival, Alan immediately called Harvey to his makeshift tent to understand the situation. And before he arrived, Harvey had already investigated the whole thing.

Sanders fainted after finding his family's bodies, and when he woke up, he was so devastated that he had been so frightened by the wolf cavalry that he had even forgotten to send the alarm signal. In the evening, when Harvey returned from chasing the wolf cavalry, Sanders immediately knelt before him and begged Harvey to be court-martialed, preferably to execute him as an example.

"How to punish you is a matter for military judges, but from today onwards, your squadron leader will be revoked from his position and become an ordinary soldier, waiting for military justice. ”

Harvey, who was aware of what had happened, was disappointed, but did not show any particular anger.

"I can't even protect my own family, I'm just a piece of waste. ”

Sanders burst into tears.

"If you still want to prove that you are not a waste, if you are still a man, you should remember this hatred and make the enemy pay for it with blood like Captain Allen. ”

Harvey finally got angry, he slapped Sanders hard, he asked the guards to take Sanders down, and then he held back and fell into deep thought. The fear of the ferocious performance of the orcs is obviously not Sanders alone, Harvey saw his own soldiers pale and trembling in front of the blood-stained orcs today, if he hadn't taken the lead in killing a few orcs, it is estimated that his own soldiers might not have performed better than Sanders. Now I should think about how to solve this problem of fear of the enemy, otherwise these patrols will not be able to fight the orcs at all, let alone the bubble-like dream of counterattacking the grassland.

"Allen, according to military law, as a commander, Sanders's behavior of fleeing in fear of the enemy must be punished by death. ”

Knowing what happened, Harditch asked Allen for instructions, after all, the militia had relied on him to maintain law and order before, and there had never been a soldier executed by military law.

"But he's only a sixteen-year-old!"

Alan shook his head and sighed, it was he who pulled the group of children into the chariot, but they were far from ready to face the cruelty of war with the orcs, and if they killed Sanders like this, Alan felt unbearable.

"Alan, Ci is not in charge. No matter how old he is, joining the army is a soldier, and if the law is not strictly enforced, I am afraid that this team will not be able to lead it in the future. ”

Havic said in a stiff tone, how could he want to put a sixteen-year-old child to death, but military law is military law, if military law is not followed, how to maintain discipline, if there is no discipline, how to talk about the execution and combat effectiveness of the army.

"Punish me, I'm the main person in charge, I didn't teach my subordinates well to lead to this tragedy. Sanders's punishment was enough, his family had all died in the incident, and he now felt that life was worse than death, and death might just be a relief for him. And now the most important thing is how we can get them rid of their fear of orcs, which is impossible to solve by training. ”

Xavi left his seat and walked in front of Havic, knelt on one knee, and took the initiative to plead guilty.

"Alan..."

Harvey's initiative to bear the guilt is indeed a flexible way to save Sanders, but Harvey's identity is not only a wing captain of the militia group, he is also Isa's beloved son, Harvey's weight in Allen's mind is clear to Harvey, so Harvey can only look at Alan with a pleading gaze, hoping that Alan will decide.

"So..."

Alan was equally hesitant.

"Just do as Harvey says. ”

Just as the two of them hesitated, the tent door curtain was lifted, and Isha walked in.

Isha also came with Eren this time, she had been dealing with the aftermath, busy reassuring the refugees, and was about to discuss something with Alan, but she walked to the door and happened to hear a conversation between several people.

"Well, it's up to Harvey to take the punishment. But Harvey, your sins cannot be in vain, and we must use this opportunity to completely reverse the Vigilante's fear of orcs. ”

Alan looked at Isha and saw that she was very serious, so he also made up his mind.

"Uncle Allen, what do you have in mind?"

Harvey knew that Alan must have thought of a solution, not only was he happy, but he had been thinking about it, but he had never thought of a good way.

"There is a way, but whether you can achieve it depends on your performance. ”

Alan said with a solemn expression.

----------------

News of Sanders' fearful escape caused orcs to invade the human colony and kill hundreds of refugees, and soon spread throughout the militia.

Some people are full of contempt for Sanders's greed for life and fear of death, some people sympathize with him when they know what happened, after all, they may not behave better in the same situation, and some people have pity on him, after all, the victims also include his own family. Now everyone is waiting for the decision of the top management of the militia to punish him, and many people have already thought of the worst. But when Judge Havic came out to announce the punishment, everyone was dumbfounded.

It was not Sanders who was punished, but Sanders' superior, Xavi.

"As the captain of the wing, Harvey underestimated the threat of the orcs, and his subordinates were not strict, which led to the poor performance of his officers and soldiers when encountering the orcs, and even serious mistakes, which was the main reason for the orc massacre this time, so Harvey should bear full responsibility. All your officers and men must take this as a warning, as long as you make mistakes, no matter who you are or how hard your backers are, military law will not tolerate mercy in the Youth League!"

With a black face, Havich announced the decision to punish Xavi:

"Thirty strokes of the cane! ”

Harvey was stripped naked and hung on the makeshift execution table, and the black pressure under the stage was full of officers and soldiers of the Youth League, and at this moment their attention was all on Harvey, and they didn't even dare to take a breath. They never dreamed that Harvey would be punished in the end, Harvey was the only human who performed well in this orc invasion, and it didn't matter, Harvey was still the co-captain of the vigilante group, second only to the head of the regiment in power, Eren trusted him more than anyone, and he was also Isha's son. For the first time, all the officers and men realized how ruthless the military judge who was always smiling and liking to reason with them was.

During the execution, Harvey couldn't activate his fighting spirit, and the long whip dipped in wet flew out of the executioner's hand, and landed on his body with a wound with open skin, and after a few lashes, no skin on Harvey's body was intact. But that's it, Harvey never said a word, not even frowning.
