Chapter 19: He's My Brother
"General!" Andre saluted, and it wasn't Shawsenard who came.
Shawsonard's hair was all white, but it was still red, making him look completely less like an eighty-three-year-old man.
An ordinary old man, over eighty years old, is already rickety, and has a dying atmosphere. But Shaw Senrad is not, with a tall military uniform and a resolute face, when people see him, the words "iron-blooded military soul" naturally appear in their hearts.
Shaw Sennard nodded to Andre and said in his hard voice, "Go and get those guys back." β
"Yes! General!" Andre gave a military salute, and ran out of the study while wearing his belt, just in time to see Conrad and several people hurrying over, as well as Ali, who was suspected of being killed before, and Ah Qi, who went to the back garden with him
When several people saw Andre, they all hurriedly said: "Captain, we have been deceived, that Ah Qi is a fake." β
"Yes, Ali and I went to the back garden to check on the fire, but we were knocked unconscious by a sneak attack. Ah Qi also hurriedly said.
Conrad had a lot of scars on his body, and he looked very embarrassed, but he still showed a calm temperament: "Captain, the Overseer's Sword is okay, what about the impostor?"
Andrei glanced at them, sighed, and said, "Don't say it yet, follow me." After speaking, he returned to the study with a few people.
When several people returned to the house and saw that General Shawsenard was also there, they gasped almost at the same time, and then secretly looked at the expressions of the others, which was really ugly than crying.
"Do you remember what your job was today?" Shaw Senald's voice came out, cold and hard like ten thousand years of ice, and several people, including Andre, all involuntarily hit a spirit.
"Protect the Overseer's Sword from being stolen. Eventually, Andre took a step forward and spoke.
Hearing this, Shaw Sennard nodded, glanced at Andre and said, "You take him aside." Shaw Senrad pointed to the star marks on the ground where his body was still twitching slightly.
"Yes, sir!" Andre didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately pulled the star mark to the side. At this time, Starmark's body was still spasming, and he couldn't even stand, so he could only lie on the ground, obviously seriously injured.
At this time, Shaw Senrad came to the rest of the people, looking at their embarrassed appearances, Shaw Sennard snorted, and tapped the four people who chased Condra out before with his fingers, and said coldly: "The mission this time is to protect the Overseer's Sword from being stolen, and a few of you have left your post without permission due to personal factors, violated the military order, and from now on you will be stripped of your military status and expelled from the Dragoon Brigade." β
"Deprivation of military status, expulsion from the dragoon brigade. These words were like hammers falling on the people, and their faces turned extremely pale, and almost at the same moment, all of them fell to their knees.
For a soldier, being expelled from the military is ruining their lives, and this is a pain they cannot bear.
Then, Shaw Senrad pointed again, and was arranged by Andre to check on the two people at the entrances and exits. "Your mission is to return to your study to protect the Overseer's Sword after surveying the entrances and exits. But you didn't, but got involved in their nonsense, and almost broke the Overseer's Sword, and instead of obeying orders, you were dismissed from your duties. β
Hearing this, An and Da's faces also changed greatly, and they knelt on the ground suddenly, and said hurriedly: "General, when we were on our way back, we saw everyone besieging Conrad again, and we all mistakenly thought that Conrad was the thief who stole it, so we chose to work together with everyone to capture him first, so as to prevent the thief from escaping." β
Shaw Sennard looked at him coldly and said: "The four of them can completely suppress Conrad, and he has no chance of escaping at all." Even if the two of you shoot together, it won't increase Conrad's capture speed much. And your mission is to protect the Overseer's Sword, not the thief, and even if you want to help others capture Conrad, you should send someone back to find out about the Overseer's Sword. Because of personal emotional factors, he lost his calm judgment and forgot his duties, this kind of person is not worthy of being a soldier at all!"
"General, give us one more chance, there will never be a next time. Several people pleaded again.
However, everyone's pleas did not soften Shawsonard's face even a little, "The first lesson I came here, I taught you, the escort mission, no matter what happens, don't let the mission out of your sight, you are emotional, so that the Overseer's Sword is almost lost, do I have any objection to firing you?"
When several people heard this, their faces turned even paler, and they could only bow their heads, unable to explain, because Shaw Sennard was right, obeying orders is the duty of soldiers, and they did disobey orders and left their posts without permission, even if they were fired, they couldn't complain about others at all.
At this time, Shawsonard moved his gaze to the scarred Conrad. Even if Conrad was the eldest of the crowd, he couldn't help but shudder, the six people in front of him were all expelled, and he himself could be said to be the fuse of the whole thing, which made him even more afraid of Shawsonard's disposition.
"You didn't make any mistakes, go back and rest. As soon as this sentence came out, not only others were shocked, but even Conrad himself was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
"That's it, didn't punish me?" Conrad was full of doubts. But he didn't dare to ask more, in the face of Shaw Sennard at this time, it was too late to hide, who dared to ask more, and quickly retreated. In fact, if you think about it carefully, although Conrad was the fuse of the whole thing, he didn't do anything wrong, and it can only be said that the star mark design is too good, and the perfect blame was given to him.
In the end, Shaw Sennard looked at Ali and Ah Qi, "You are not responsible for this matter" Both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but as soon as this breath was halfway out, they were interrupted by Shaw Sonard's voice
"But!"
Ali, Ah Qi immediately became nervous, and the fool also knew that this would definitely not be a good thing.
"However, you were so easily stunned by the other that your team was nearly split by the two of you, and even more so that your companions were injured, and the Overseer's Sword was nearly lost. Since you two are not as good as others, then starting tomorrow, add four hours of combat training every day for three years!"
Hearing Shawsenate's words, the faces of the two turned white, the daily training of the dragoon brigade is much more than that of ordinary armies, and the rest time of training is about twelve hours a day, and now there are four hours of combat training, which means that they only have eight hours a day for things such as eating and sleeping, but imagine how hard it will be in the next three years. However, what made them slightly relieved was that they had not been deprived of their military status, and this punishment was much better than that of the other six.
Andre peeked at everyone, compared to Ah Li and Ah Qi's pale faces, the other six people were like ashes, their eyes were empty, and the deprivation of military discipline made them lose their motivation to survive.
Gritting his teeth, Andre suddenly came to the side of the six, knelt down on one knee towards Shaw Senrad and said: "General, the love of the robe is like a brotherhood, everyone just thinks that Ali has an accident and mistakenly thinks that they have locked up the thief, so they will choose to pursue." β
Shaw Sennard looked at Andre coldly, "The military order is like a mountain, since they have violated the military order, they should be dealt with by military law." You're not leaving your job, that's good, but!"
The word "but" again, Andrei's heart also trembled, because no one knew better than him, in fact, he had also made a serious mistake in the protection mission just now.
"However, you didn't recall the thieves in the first place after discovering them, because of your blind confidence, which led to the loss of the Overseer's Sword. In this mission, you did not disobey the military order, so I will not fire you, but as their captain, you did not coordinate your team members well, which led to the misunderstanding expanding. You're not cut out to lead a team and be at the heart of it, so tomorrow you'll go back to the Dragoons, hand over your duties, and start learning again. β
After listening to Shosenald's words, Andre lowered his head, as did the other six, the general was notoriously obedient to the rules of the city, and they had completely given up the possibility of not being expelled.
Just when everyone had given up, suddenly Andre raised his head and looked at Shaw Senrad, but his eyes looked very gloomy, "Report to the general, I chose to pursue the thieves before I gave my order, everyone only obeyed my wrong order to act, everything will end because of my judgment error, so please ask the general to punish me alone, they just executed the wrong order." β
Hearing Andre's words, the bodies of the six people trembled, and even Ali and Ah Qi looked at Andre in surprise, no one expected that Andre would resist such a big mistake by himself. If Andre really resists, then they do have the possibility of keeping their military status, but in that case, Andrei will definitely face more than just being expelled from the military.
Shaw Sennard tilted his head slightly, looked at Andre, and said, "Do you know that tampering with the orders of your superiors is punishable by hanging according to the military order. β
"Yes," AndrΓ© whispered, and instead of making eye contact with Shosenard, he looked sideways at the starmark that had fallen to the ground, staring at himself. At this time, Starmark's body was no longer spasmodic, and his gaze was also full of puzzlement when he looked at Andre.
With a somewhat bleak smile, Andre looked at the starmark, and for some reason, when he decided to take it all on, he felt a sense of relief. Andre looked at the starmark that fell to the ground, and came to steal the Overseer's sword, as long as he was caught, it would definitely be a death sentence, and there would be no suspense.
"In the end, I didn't beat him. Andrei smiled bitterly in his heart, "I don't even have a chance to compete again." "The death sentence of Star Mark represents that Andre has no goal, no motivation, and no meaning of struggle.
"No, the captain is right, it's our own fault, we are willing to admit punishment and be stripped of our military status. The six almost spoke.
However, Shaw Senrad ignored it, just stared at Andre and said, "Have you thought about it? Although you are very good, I will not tolerate soldiers who do not obey orders." β
Andrei nodded.
After Shawsonard was silent for a moment, a cold and hard voice came out again: "Okay, tomorrow you will be hanged, what other wishes do you have before that?"
Hearing this, Andrei raised his head and said softly: "Please spare his life, general"
As soon as Andre spoke, everyone was shocked, including Shaw Senrad's pupils shrank, because the person Andre was talking about turned out to be the star mark that fell next to him. Similarly, Starmark was also stunned when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he looked at Andre incredulously.
"Reason!" Shaw Senrad glanced at the star mark and spoke coldly.
Andre turned his head to look at Starmark, he saw the surprise in Starmark's eyes, and he also saw puzzlement. To this, Andrei suddenly grinned and said: "Because he is my younger brother." β
Hearing Andrei's words, everyone turned their eyes to the star. Starmark stared at Andre, even he didn't expect Andre to say such a thing, if he hadn't recovered at this time, he would have asked Andre why he said that.
Naturally, it was impossible for Shawsenard to bypass the star mark, but he just left a sentence "Take them down and hang them together tomorrow." And he departed.
