Chiliarch Yang spat out hatefully, “You don’t have to reason with me here! The battle hasn’t even started, and the commander has already died. Our morale has also decreased by more than half. Let’s see how you can continue this battle! ”

Qin Silong regarded Chiliarch Yang with a playful expression, countering, “Do you truly believe this battle can’t proceed without Deputy General Lin? Are you attempting to spread the notion that the war is now unwinnable? Is it your goal to sow fear and shatter our morale right on the battlefield?”

With each accusation, Chiliarch Yang’s tone softened, “I don’t mean that. I’m just reminding you. How are you going to answer to the higher-ups when Deputy General Lin is dead?”

Chiliarch Yang subtly hinted that Qin Silong needed a scapegoat, and he had conveniently found one — himself.

Understanding the insinuation, Qin Silong exposed Chiliarch Yang’s intentions, “Are you suggesting that, with Deputy General Lin’s demise, we need a scapegoat to deflect blame and shield ourselves from repercussions?”

Chiliarch Yang was taken aback, not anticipating Qin Silong’s direct revelation, and the surrounding soldiers shared in the shock.

Qin Silong continued with a hint of excitement, “You imply that Deputy General Lin’s status demands a scapegoat when he falls in battle. However, ordinary soldiers with lower statuses are expendable. Is that the premise?” Reluctant to acknowledge his intentions, Chiliarch Yang remained silent.

Qin Silong pressed on, growing more impassioned, “War is ruthless, and the blade discriminates against no one. Each one of us might sacrifice our lives for our country. Deputy General Lin perished in the conflict, and the true culprits are the insurgents within, not an innocent scapegoat among our ranks!”

“As a chiliarch, instead of inspiring the soldiers to turn their grief into strength, you launched an assault on the entrance and spread negative, depressing comments. What kind of leadership is this?”

Confronted by Qin Silong’s intense gaze, Chiliarch Yang started to feel a growing sense of fear.

“I’m not spreading inappropriate rumors…”

Qin Silong shouted, “You can’t deny it! You clearly said it just now. Let’s see how you can continue this battle!”

“You’re attempting to incite everyone to desert! ”

“I didn’t—

Chiliarch Yang sensed something amiss in Qin Silong’s gaze. He glanced around and realized that Qin Silong’s personal guards had encircled him from all directions.

A sudden realization struck him. What did Qin Silong intend to do?

Regrettably, Chiliarch Yang’s understanding came too late.

Indeed, Qin Silong had long harbored the desire to eliminate him.

Killing Chiliarch Yang served multiple purposes:

Firstly, it would serve as a warning to the others, ensuring compliance from

the remaining three chiliarchs.

Secondly, it would reassure the soldiers that, on the battlefield, the life of a deputy general was no more valuable than that of an ordinary soldier. There would be no preferential treatment.

Chiliarch Yang, who had dared to propose finding a scapegoat for Deputy General Lin’s death, had to be dealt with!

Thirdly, as the main general, Qin Silong acknowledged the value of every soldier’s life. In the face of overwhelming resistance, he would consider alternative strategies.

Fourthly, Chiliarch Yang must pay for his role in aiding Deputy General Lin’s treacherous plans.

Finally realizing the lethal intent in Qin Silong’s eyes, Chiliarch Yang sought to escape, but it was too late.

Qin Silong decisively commanded, “Seize Chiliarch Yang, who harbors ulterior motives, and administer military law punishment!”

Chiliarch Yang, unable to escape or resist, was forcibly subdued to the ground by two men.

Chiliarch Yang remained defiant. “Qin Silong, what do you intend to do with

In the military, there were two distinct forms of punishment: receiving thirty lashes or facing a death sentence.

Desperately, he clung to the possibility of the former.

In a flicker of hope, Chiliarch Yang thought, “Where there’s life, there’s hope!”

Yet, Qin Silong offered him no reprieve, stating coldly, “There’s only one way to address military law on the battlefield!”
