2073 Intimidating (1)
When Tang Zhen gave the order, Sun Jun had already stepped forward without the slightest hesitation. He raised his leg and continuously kicked the bodies of those believers.
Now was the time to establish his prestige. Tang Zhen’s order must be carried out thoroughly. Among the people present, he was the most suitable person to take action.
If Tang Zhen were to personally take action, he would undoubtedly become a laughingstock. He was a commanding officer, yet he had no subordinates to use.
A series of screams rang out as the troublemakers were kicked on the body after being attacked by rotten bones and heart.
Sun Jun’s strength was far higher than these believers. The other party did not have the chance to struggle and resist at all, and was directly kicked to the ground unconscious.
Looking at the dozen or so troublemakers on the ground, the surroundings were silent, and the gazes of the surrounding believers became more and more complicated.
The new commander and his followers were obviously not soft-hearted people.
If they wanted to do something under his eyes, they had to be prepared to pay the price. These guys in front of him were the best proof.
what are you waiting for? are you all made of wood? take them out of the city and hang them to death!
Sun Jun swept his cold eyes around, and black mist rose from his hands again, as if he was ready to attack at any time.
After hearing Sun Jun’s words, the believers nearby hesitated for a moment. In the end, they gathered in front of the fainted rioters and tied their bodies with ropes.
These rioters were already badly mutilated. Under the bite of the bugs, there was not a single part of their skin that was intact.
The bugs were crawling around in the rotten meat. It seemed that if they didn’t find a way to save them, they would be eaten by the bugs sooner or later.
No one dared to touch it with their hands, in case the bugs crawled onto their bodies and burrowed into them.
After the incident in front of the temple, it had already attracted the attention of many believers, and their eyes were fixed on this place.
They watched helplessly as the rioters were tied up and dragged to the city wall like dead dogs. They were then dragged out of the city wall through the gap.
The rioters who woke up from the drag struggled, cursed, or begged, but no one spoke on their behalf.
These people were not good people to begin with. Because no one had restrained them before, they had been domineering in the defense area, causing many people to wish they were all dead.
Moreover, Tang Zhen was currently a new official. It was the time for him to establish his might. No one would dare to touch bad luck under such circumstances.
A long rope was hung on the sea monster skeleton, and the despairing troublemaker was lifted up one after another. After struggling a few times, he stopped moving.
Looking at the stiff corpses swaying in the wind, the top of the city wall was silent, so quiet that it was a little scary.
At this moment, the fear that Tang Zhen brought to the believers had even surpassed the fear of the sea monster that could attack at any time. They no longer had the slightest contempt.
Tang Zhen was extremely satisfied in his heart when he saw this.
Only by making them feel fear would they be able to unconditionally obey Tang Zhen’s commands and not be like the other defense areas where they would obey the commander’s orders on the surface but disobey in secret.
Tang Zhen did not know how this kind of command system was formed in the defense area. However, it would definitely not work in his place.
Looking at the expressions of the believers, it was clear that his method had begun to see results. At least on the surface, they had become obedient.
Even if there were negative effects, as long as these believers saw the surge in military achievements, all their complaints would disappear, and they would even obey his orders.
Turning his head to look at Sun Jun who was standing beside him, Tang Zhen nodded his head. He was extremely satisfied with Sun Jun’s performance earlier.
“From now on, you will be in charge of training these soldiers. I guarantee that you will execute every order.
I’ll prepare some weapons for you to deal with sea monsters later. What you need to do is to get familiar with them in the shortest time possible.”
Sun Jun nodded in agreement. At the same time, he was also curious about what kind of item Tang Zhen would prepare to deal with the sea monster.
Could it be that after Tang Zhen exchanged for the memory fragments, he recalled some kind of extraordinary ability, which was why he was so confident?
Just as the two of them were conversing, a group of veteran soldiers wearing advanced armor walked over and bowed to Tang Zhen.
Your Excellency, since you’ve come to take up your post, we’ll return to our respective defense areas as requested.
Compared to those newbies and rookies, these veteran soldiers were not too respectful of Tang Zhen. Their faces, which were used to seeing life and death, were also filled with calmness.
First, they didn’t belong to this area, and second, they were used to the frequent change of commanders. They didn’t need to show too much respect to someone who could be killed by sea monsters at any time.
Tang Zhen had yet to open his mouth when a new recruit who had followed him shouted, how can you leave now? we’re still not familiar with the steam ballista. If the sea monsters suddenly attack, it will be very dangerous.
After hearing the words of the new recruit, the Veterans sneered and showed a disapproving expression.
“We’re just following orders. We’ve already done what we can. As for whether you’re skilled in the operation, it has nothing to do with us.
If you want us to stay and teach you, you’ll have to pay extra battle merits. Otherwise, we can’t do anything.
This isn’t extortion. After all, if we delay our return to the defense area, our battle achievements will also be deducted.”
After he said that, the leader of the Veterans chuckled and said in a calm tone, ” “In fact, even if you learn it, it won’t be of much use. It’ll only be a waste of time.
They’re just a bunch of noobs, and with a serious lack of manpower, the possibility of them being able to withstand the sea monster’s attack is next to nothing.”
The other party’s words were very rude, indicating that they did not think highly of area 153. They even believed that the sea monsters would break through the city wall again.
“Do you think that area 153 has no hope?”
Tang Zhen did not care about the other party’s attitude. Under normal circumstances, it would indeed be very difficult for the heavily damaged defense area under their feet to resist the assault of the sea monster.
Perhaps his only hope was to pin his hopes on the sea monsters and hope that they would launch their attack later.
This way, defense area 153 would have more time to develop and repair. If they could withstand one or two attacks from the sea monsters, the defense area could recover its vitality.
Upon hearing Tang Zhen’s question, the wily old soldier who was the leader shook his head and said,”To be honest with you, although we don’t belong to this area, we don’t want to see such a scene.
When the defensive line was broken and we were in charge of providing support, all we saw were corpses all over the ground. It was a terrible sight.
A few of my friends all died in that battle, and their bodies were devoured by the sea monsters.
Compared to the previous batch of veterans, the strength of these new recruits is not just a little bit weaker. How can they withstand the attacks of those sea monsters?”
When the surrounding new soldiers heard this, they all revealed a depressed look, because the other party’s words were reasonable and not alarmist.
In fact, it was not only the Veterans who did not think highly of them, but the new recruits themselves were also uncertain. The blood that seeped into the city wall during the last battle had not yet dried, and their blood might soon be spilled all over the city wall again.
“Don’t worry, what you’ve said is already history. From now on, no monster will be able to cross this wall.
The blood of the dead believers would not be shed in vain. The sea monsters had to be multiplied by hundreds or even thousands of times to repay the sins they had committed.
I’m going to say this today. Everyone, you can wait and see if I can do it!”
After hearing Tang Zhen’s words, those wily old soldiers softly laughed. Clearly, they did not take it too seriously.
They had seen commanders who were more ruthless than Tang Zhen. Similarly, there wasn’t just one commander who could speak even more arrogantly. However, on the battlefield, everything depended on one’s strength. One’s battle achievements were the only touchstone to test everything.
If he couldn’t do what he said, he would only be a joke.
After cupping their hands together and bowing to Tang Zhen, those wily old soldiers did not say anything else. They walked to the four-winged birds near the divine temple and rose into the sky in unison.
