As soon as Marin saw the expression on Rocky's face, she immediately frowned and narrowed her beautiful eyes. She then withdrew her eyes, looked around the crowd, and said solemnly, "Now that all of you are here, let me first talk about why I had to gather all of you here so urgently..."
"Today, as required by the Deputy Commander in Chief, I went to the base camp myself. As a result, I learned that some people from our northeast military camp have signed a petition to report me because of the fact that I have rewarded Rocky, the captain of the sixth squad with a first-class merit," Marin said in a seemingly calm way. But those who were listening all felt dreadful hearing her speaking tone.
"I can't believe someone had the guts to report our commander. Who would be so bold?" As soon as Deputy Commander Chen who was next to Marin heard that, he immediately exclaimed with a look of surprise.
At that precise moment, several captains of the spirit manipulator squads immediately looked at one another with confusion. After a moment, they all looked at Evan spontaneously. As a matter of fact, those who had reported Marin to the Commander in Chief were the five captains from the first to the fifth squad with Evan, the captain of the first squad as the major proponent. They were not satisfied with Marin as she was the one who rewarded Rocky the first-class merit. They all regarded him as the rubbish captain of the rubbish sixth squad, so they wanted to ask the Commander in Chief to uphold justice and take back Rocky's reward.
Of course, it never occurred to them that the Crimson Dragon Group's Commander in Chief and Deputy Commander in Chief were respect
now. I don't want any of you to mention any of it in the future," Marin said as she found her warning to have worked very well. After a pause, she added in a more serious tone, "When I came back from the base camp, I happened to have received a message that the Timber Deity Empire has been showing up frequently at the front line of our northeast military camp in the last few days. They seem to be plotting against us. So, I hope you can keep your high spirits and manage your own soldiers. Always keep your eyes open. Starting today, we'll increase the range and density of our patrols. The spies from the Timber Deity Empire are very likely to be hiding somewhere within the jurisdiction area of our northeast military camp and are simply waiting for further actions. Attention, everyone! We have to stay on guard and never allow them to do anything harmful to our empire."
"Yes, Commander!" the crowd replied in unison.
"Well, that's all for today. You may all leave now. Rocky, stay for a while. I need to have a word with you," Marin said and waved. At the same time, she threw a glance directly at Rocky.
