Chapter 525: Compensation
Chapter 525: Compensation
Nobody has expected that Sam would burst out like that, but they don't know that if not for the fact that he didn't want to ruin his plan, he would have already started a massacre.
But the words are real. He never let anyone off if they maligned his birth. All this while, he saw many nobility in his both lives, who among them can compete with him. Who has the ability to challenge him and live to see the sunrise again?
Even he never thought of their lowly birth, how dare all these people to insult him? He would never let anyone off.
General frowned as he observed the killing intent from Sam. It is almost suffocating for the young soldier who Sam called on to previously. He didn't expect a young man in his twenties will have such a strong killing intent.
When he looked at the blades Yodha mentioned in Sam's hands, he was even more amazed. What bloodthirsty aura? the aura from the blades is close to the resentment and despair of all the victims. It is far more ferocious than the simple bloodthirst.
"Sam, I am still here. I would settle all the scores today and give you an explanation. But what do you mean by slaying the battalion of forces?"
Sam laughed sarcastically and looked at the regiment commander with resentment as he took out the bunch of papers from his storage and gave them to the general.
The General looked at the papers and as he looked farther, his frown got deeper and deeper.
At the end of it, he looked at the regiment commander and yelled as he pointed his finger.
"You filthy vermin, is this how a commander should treat his soldiers?"
Sam's eyes are filled with a faint snicker as he looked at the regimental commander, the papers are all the mission completion documents regarding all the missions he completed.
Generally, no one would care about these things, they are just made to tally the rewards and such in busy times.
But Sam really found the most important use for it.
He directly gave the documents to the general. Sam's missions are outrageously hard and they are not even suitable for a Nascent stage, worst part is that there are some missions that are not even part of the missions that came from the general's camp.
Apparently, our noble and great regiment commander created these missions, especially for Sam.
The General looked at the two swords in Sam's hands and gulped, he heard how these swords are made, and from what he saw in the missions that Sam completed, if he really defected to the enemy empire, he would be seen as a treasure.
A single man can change the landscape of the nascent stage battle. This is completely unacceptable. He looked at Sam and said.
"Sam, please keep your swords away first and we can settle this matter without a need for battle. I should ask, why are you leaving with all credits you have? You would be a Deputy battalion commander in no time if you follow the same pace."
Sam chuckled and generally also noticed that the faces of all the people changed into some sort of comedic expression.
"What happened?" He asked with a frown.
At this moment, Sam took out the tablet that connected to the bee puppet and gave it to Yodha.
He knew how to operate this thing since he saw one in the Arena.
He looked started playing the video and his expression turned colder as each second passed. The regimental commander who near also saw the screen and his face turned pale.
General is also watching this, he would definitely know everything clearly.
When the General saw the part where the commander stripped off of every credit Sam earned, he couldn't control himself and his aura changed a bit. The Consummate realm level pressure made everyone shiver.
And since it was directed at the Regiment commander, there is no way for him to endure it, the video continued and they saw Sam being thrown into the furnace and then even armor melting over him, they looked at him once again and even felt the scorch through the video.
After the video was done, they searched around with their eyes to identify the culprits, Yodha was impatient and immediately yelled a command.
"Those who are involved in this incident, come forward now."
The young lady who acted as a bait to the soldiers who arrested Sam all came over and stood nervously.
"I will give you thirty seconds to think, then I will ask one by one if you don't tell me the truth, then you would bear the consequences, you guys do know the military methods of getting information," General said coldly.
Today, he decided to get to the bottom of this situation.
It is not just about Sam and Arman, the Marshall, who is also Yodha's father has worked hard to change the army for the better, he promoted the favoritism, but that is not based on birth or the species, all it took for one to get promoted is hard work and achievements.
The General is one such person who is from a commoner naga family. But he was able to surpass all his peers in the nobility and he is the proud General of the Mov empire.
He has seen many humans who worked hard for their development and become pillars of the military. In fact, there are even regiment commanders who are humans.
He saw such potential in Sam.
He bravely entered the enemy territory to bring back the heads of hundreds of soldiers all alone. He also seemed to a formation expert even the formation master of the military is having a hard time cracking the puzzle.
General looked at Regiment commander and said.
"From now on, you no longer possess any authority and you shall be demoted to the rank of the soldier right this moment and you have to serve the military for another fifty years and don't have any chance to retire before that.
You will also be transferred to the troops under my command, your son will be dismissed from the army and he can be sent home. He will be marked in the military blacklist and would never be given a chance to get into an armed force under imperial authority"
He paused and then looked at the soldiers who cooperated particularly the lady.
"You are all dismissed and even the Ex-serviceman privileges will not be given for the next ten years."
Finally, his gaze landed on Sam and said.
"I know you will feel wronged by everything that happened to you, but this all I can do for now with the war around the corner. I cannot let go of someone of that caliber.
But I am willing to compromise.
You will be given three times all the credits you have been cut off of and you will also get your credits doubled for the upcoming war.
But the multiplied credits cannot be considered as merit and wouldn't be taken into consideration for promotion and rewards, you can use them to exchange things though."
The General then looked at the soldiers and said in a loud voice.
"There are people of different races and different statuses in the army. But those statuses are only useful for you to use it outside.
This is the army our Marshall created. Here the only thing that matters is the capability. If you are capable and useful for the military, even if you are a beggar outside, you will be valued here. If you are incapable and only good for flaunting your authority here, even if you are noble scions, we don't need you.
You have to listen to your superiors and obey them, but that doesn't mean you have to tolerate everything.
From now on, if the complaint is serious come to me directly and report. But if the report is not serious and you are just wasting my time, you have to bear the aftermath.
Now everyone is dismissed."
All the soldiers left, only Sam and Arman remained standing along with Yodha, the regiment commander, and the General.
General once again looked at Sam and asked.
"Can you take down the formation?"
Sam looked at the commander's son reluctantly took out another metal pike and threw it. The pike went through the formation light and penetrated into the abdomen right next to another pike.
The regiment commander was about to show his anger, but he noticed that the formation has disappeared. He immediately went to his son and started taking the pikes out one by one.
The General was surprised once again and said.
"We need to talk, come to my office with Yodha later."
With that, the general left.
Yodha looked at Sam with a helpless expression and asked.
"Where did you get the guts to do all this? Damn, I was afraid that General would kill you on the spot in anger."
"It is not that easy to kill me." Sam replied in a usual tone.
Sam said as he looked at the regiment commander with a smile. His plan succeeded. He has to destroy the power in this regiment commander's hands and he could do it in a lot of ways, he can just impede the success rates of the missions of the rest of the candidates, then this guy wouldn't be able to escape taking the responsibility.
But Sam did the opposite, he achieved too many things and still fell into such a low-level scheme deliberately. He also knew that Yodha is coming back today and coincidentally, his release from punishment is also today so he decided to make a ruckus and totally bury this commander's future. As for how he knew he was coming, the hornets finally came to handy. He might not have real-time surveillance, but he can still get some images and the locations of the hornets. It is easy as pie.
The regiment commander would have to do a lot of meritorious deeds if he wants to redeem his previous position.
Now with the contrast of his bad things, Sam's achievements are brighter than ever before and the military is also going to owe him.
