Chapter 1315: Bloodstained Front (1)

Shattered Tooth: the eastern defensive border of the Country of Light

The devastation caused by the Chaos creatures in the past was still visible The towering walls were dented and filled with various holes Shattered, collapsed walls seeround like wounded beasts The arels that were previously stationed here had all been evacuated However, the place wasn’t completely uninhabited The silhouettes of heavily-aruely beneath the shattered walls However, they weren’t very serious or tense Instead, almost everyone wore an expression of fear, unease, and confusion on their faces It wasn’t surprising because they weren’t ordinary soldiers But rather, they were the ones who gave up their positions and fled in the previous battle against Chaos

After that battle ended, all of those guys were captured by the players sent by Rhode Although they tried to resist capture, they were no different froainst the formidable players Moreover, the players were also very upset that the soldiers abandoned the to face a larger number of Chaos creatures themselves Dissatisfied with the situation, it was only natural that great efforts were made to capture these deserters

It was due to this reason that these unfortunate deserters were able to be recaptured in such a short period In fact, they were baffled as to why they were captured They could only blame themselves if they were discovered As a matter of fact, there were actually quite a number of soldiers who had chosen to enter deep, uninhabited forests and wilderness to hide their tracks But to their amazement, no matter where they hid, pursuers who seemed to fall from the sky appeared before them in the shortest possible time, knocked theht And when the soldiers woke up again, they found themselves sent back to the front line—the saain

Of course, they didn’t knoas going on But Rhode had put a lot ofthese deserters This rout of the Country of Light’s soldiers was arguably theas well Such behaviors were contagious and once the rest of the world knew that they orking hard against Chaos while those idiots in the Country of Light fled to safety, it definitely wasn’t good for their morale Not only that, but in order to prevent such a situation froain, Rhode had also chosen to punish an individual as an example to others If he didn’t let others witness how harsh the punishain and again

That hy, this time, Rhode was considered to have put in a considerable a down the deserters themselves, it was much simpler After the battle was over, Rhode found Alice and used her ‘Historical Tracing’ ability to search for all of the deserters’ names Since the History Deity Warden held records of history in this world, Rhode was able to deter of the battle, who shook the army, and who held on until the very end That hy he was certain that he wouldn’t wrong a good man or spare a bad man Of course, this was all based on the basis of Alice’s historically accurate records But for Rhode, her historical records ‘must’ always be accurate

Or rather, ‘had to’ always be accurate

There were nearly 5,000 deserters gathered here and they were the first and second in Rhode’s classification (in other words, soldiers who fled first and those who fled second) As for the soldiers who fought to the end and ran ahen there was no hope was in sight, though Rhode also captured them, he didn’t punish them severely After all, in a situation like that, where their coivable for them to retreat But even so, they were still subjected to rather serious punishments Thereafter, the soldiers ere recaptured were sent by Rhode to the second defensive line to be in charge of the front line’s patrolling and preparations In other words, if the battle spread to the second level of defense, they would be the first to coinably cruel punishment for those soldiers who had experienced firsthand how terrifying the Chaos creatures were

However, if they knehat happened to their co how unlucky they were

As for those soldiers who fought with the players until the end, Rhode gave theive them a considerable amount of wealth, but he also elevated their status and even allowed soldiers who had lost their ability to fight after the battle to leave the front line This brought a renewed surge of confidence for those soldiers ere stationed and stuck to the front line of battle After all, merit should be rewarded; this was Rhode’s creed

Of course, so was punishi+ng soldiers for their wrongs At the sa merit commendations of the brave soldiers, Rhode didn’t spare the deserters any punishels and players stationed here Although the Shattered Tooth was the closest point to the front line in the first level of defense, it wasn’t the only one, after all So even if this place was occupied by Chaos, it wouldn’t affect the entire defensive line too heavily Of course, he wouldn’t let this place fall so easily either Because he had already prepared enough ‘soldiers’ on his side

As for the other point, the scene of punishi+ng the soldiers wasn’t suitable to be seen by anyone else

One could iine the surprise on the soldiers’ faces when they woke up from unconsciousness and opened their eyes, only to find themselves back on the battlefield they had escaped froet back here?”

“What the hell is going on here?!”

Upon opening their eyes and seeing the fa scene before the at their coed to different legions, they still knew one another well In just a few moments, they became aware of their current situation and the true identity of those people around them, which instead made them even more uneasy

At that round of the Shattered Tooth, which was nor these deserters naturally wasn’t an issue The soldiers remained as they hen they were unconscious, and even their weapons hadn’t been taken away from them Not only that, but they were also stunned to find that the entire drill ground was devoid of people other than theuards that they expected, nor nobles in flashy clothes On the contrary, the entire fortress looked so deserted that there seemed to be no one around The black s and ajar doors seemed so hollow that they made soht there were no living beings except for themselves in this world

But just at that moment, a proud voice echoed

“Finally woke up, huh? What a bunch of losers How dare youthis voice, the soldiers instinctively looked in the direction the voice sounded and were taken aback
