Alex looked at all the people in front of him laughing and even ridiculing him. He just kept a small smile on his face but if you look at the two second lieutenants, his secretary Jean and his pokemons face, you will find that he is anything but calm.
Even if he acts m_a_t_u_r_e most of the time, it must not be forgotten that he is still a kid. Even before his death, he was in his early twenties.
Most people get m_a_t_u_r_ed after their late thirties and even at their forties after experiencing various life events but Alex perished early in his previous life so he wasn't as m_a_t_u_r_e and calm as people regarded him.
He was standing with his hands clenched in firm of fist and one could see the nerves at his hands with the intensity he was holding his hands.
Seeing this they even retreated a few steps with Alex unconsciously releasing his presence for a moment.
But it was enough to quiet down warrant officers and some sergeants who stood closer to Alex in the queue.
They all felt a chill run down their spines and shuddered. The second lieutenants, his secretary, officer cadets and even the two doctors knew Alex was getting angry but none came forward to calm him down.
As for warrant officers and sergeants were experienced people and when they felt it they immediately linked it with Alex.
It is shocking for a kid to remain unfazed while standing in front of thousands of people and even smile when he was being ridiculed.
The warrant officers have worked under either one of the two lieutenant and k ew how strong they were. When an even stronger presence was felt by them, they understood why the kid was chosen to be their Commander.
Since their bosses, the officer cadets and second lieutenants weren't doing anything it was upto them to deal with the drama and at least try to calm the people so the new Commander Alex could continue.
So the first thing they did was quiet down the sergeants around themselves so they won't have to endure the wrath of the new Commander.
This made sure that about a tenth of sergeants calmed down under their immediate supervisor instructions and looked at the platform.
Their silence slowly cut down the noises of district and ridicule around Alex. This was enough for Alex to continue his speech.
" It seems many of you are not happy with the decision of the league. I am sorry to say that your disregard for my position as the North Zone Commander would be neglected no matter who you talk to.
You seemed to have forgotten the most basic thing about the military. And this thing cannot be violated at any cost. Can anyone guess what it is." Alex said and let them guess what they have forgotten.
All of them looked at each other's face thinking what they might have forgotten and cannot be violated in the military.
Since he started to talk the small smile on his face hasn't dimmed a bit but this didn't stop the wave of anger emitting from Alex. He was really enraged.
Being questioned by some was a bit painful but if too many do it then a person either gets self conscious or he gets too angry to think calmly.
And Alex is suffering from the second case. He us really angry and anyone who gives him an opportunity would pay dearly for it. The ridicule of multiple troopers was ignored by Alex because he got his priorities straight.
So he kept himself calm and didn't do anything. But that didn't mean he wasn't thinking about it. He was thinking of raining water needles of Slowking on their limbs so they would be hospitalized for at least a month and suffer in pain.
He was a pure sadist whether it was subconscious or conscious behavior of Alex was a real mystery. Meanwhile Slowking behind Alex was nervous of feeling and seeing Alex's thoughts towards the people in front of him.
He won't disobey Alex but he felt it might be too much to punish so many for the disobedience of a select few.
He continued forward," The most important thing in the military is order. The order of the superior must be followed no matter how ridiculous or absurd it may seem to you.
And there is absolutely no mercy for traitors in the army. " When Alex said this the entire ground was turned quiet so much so that even a pin dropping sound could be heard at the opposite side if the ground.
"Traitor" was a very strong word and the meaning and consequences behind this were too severe. Even in normal world, people would rather die than bear the stain of traitor. Let alone in this world where power is supreme.
Here not only will that treacherous person but his friends and even people who are close relation will be taken under close watch and even their smallest misdeed will be revealed as one of the most heinous crime ever.
Here people doesn't like to leave behind lose ends and want to eradicate threat from the roots.
Alex looked at the pin drop quiet ground and nodded internally and continued,"I know many of you may feel that I am a bit too quick to use the term "traitor" but I don't think I am wrong.
You dared to disregard thousands of people in the town or even millions of them. This is a town near the river and hence has a very large population. Even if it isn't comparable to the large cities with population of tens of million, it still has nearly a couple million people residing here.
The league had stationed about a hundred thousand guards not including the lieutenant, officer cadets and warrant officers.
With such a large force you have a much higher chance of victory. Yet you dared to think of leaving and putting the life of so many people at risk. So let me ask you, Am I wrong to address you are traitors?"
He finished fiercely and his eyes were red with anger.
Alex no longer held back his presence and nearly a few hundred were affected. It was only due to the staff from mew and his aura spreading out his pressure and affecting many.
The closer the person was to Alex, the harder he breathe. No one dared to object Alex now and has started to regard him as their leader.
