"snort!"

"I just won't run!"

Ah Niu's temper flared up. Seeing Ning Que show no sign of backing down, he sneered, "I just don't like you. I think it's pointless for you to make us run. If you have any tricks, just use them. I'll accept any punishment, but I won't run."

"Aniu!"

"Don't be stupid!"

Haigui was immediately furious.

He also knew Ah Niu and his personality. There wasn't anything wrong with him, just a stubborn temper. Once he made up his mind, he wouldn't change it, even at the cost of his life. Not to mention Ning Que, even Jie Jun was hard to control.

Ah Niu would rather be punished than admit his mistakes. However, he is a promising young man, impeccable in his actions. He is a skilled warrior and loyal. He once saved Jie Jun's life, and has been his personal guard ever since.

"What did he say?"

Haigui translated truthfully.

Ning Que laughed when he heard that.

He just looked at Ah Niu, smiled and said, "Then you can rest assured now. I won't do anything to you, let alone punish you. If you don't want to run, just stay here and have a good rest."

“???”

Aniu was stunned.

He looked at Ning Que in astonishment, not understanding what was going on.

Would Ning Que be so kind?

"You don't understand why I asked you to run, so there's no point in explaining it. I think you'll understand the reason for running later. Brother Xiaohai, please help me translate."

"Um."

Ning Que raised the brass trumpet and said calmly, "Our operation this time was betrayed by a shameful deserter. He refused to run and was captured by the enemy. He was a cowardly deserter, so he told the enemy all the information. Our strategic whereabouts have been discovered by the enemy, so we have no limit now. It is up to him to decide when to finish running!"

"yes!!!"

Bai Yu roared to the sky.

He was carrying the Yue people on his back, his entire body drenched in sweat. His pace was slowing down, each step feeling incredibly heavy, and he was panting so hard he could only manage a trot. The other Yue people's faces changed after hearing the translation. They all knew Ning Que wasn't punishing them, but Ah Niu!

"What...what are you going to do?"

Ah Niu gritted his teeth, his face flushed red as he said, "What cowardly deserters? How could I possibly betray them? You're humiliating me, humiliating South Vietnam's most elite warriors!"

"Are you worthy enough?"

Ning Que simply glanced at him coldly and said calmly, "I'm being polite. You disobeyed orders on the battlefield and refused to obey the commander's orders. I can only regard you as a deserter. And because you hate me, you deliberately provoked the commander. There's no guarantee that you won't be used by the enemy to betray the army and leak intelligence. You don't have to run away, and I won't force you to do so. However, everyone will be implicated because of your cowardice!"

“…”

Aniu fell silent immediately.

He clenched his fists tightly.

Seeing Jie Jun panting heavily, still carrying a wounded soldier on his back. His feet were now bleeding, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered. The other soldiers were equally in dire straits, and they could only try their best to follow. Some even supported each other and barely followed behind.

They didn't speak the same language, but they knew each other well. Seeing the Yue people struggling, a few stepped forward to help, supporting them and trying to follow as closely as possible.

And this scene was exactly what Ning Que wanted to see.

These were all young men, and with no language barrier and new acquaintances, conflicts were bound to arise easily. Ning Que could understand this; similar incidents had occurred when he had formed the Three Guards. After all, they were all young, energetic, and valiant generals, and they were bound to be unwilling to yield to one another.

Ning Que's approach was to let them fight first, then punish them all. This was to shape the military spirit and teach them a lesson: they were one, rising together and falling together. Now, there was no distinction between Yue people and Feng people; there were only soldiers.

They need to treat everyone equally, without prejudice. Only in this way can the army be truly integrated. Only on the battlefield can they trust their comrades with confidence.

"Aniu, stop being so stubborn!"

Seeing this, Haigui hurriedly tried to persuade them, "Can you bear to see them run to death? They are all your beloved relatives, friends, brothers and sisters! Because of you, they are now forced to pay an additional penalty."

“I…I…”

Aniu clenched his fists tightly.

At this moment, I still feel very unconvinced.

But seeing how hard they were trying to hold on, his eyes had already turned red.

"You...you scoundrel!"

"If you have any tricks, feel free to punish me."

"What do you mean by torturing them?"

"That's really interesting." Ning Que decided to add fuel to the fire and said calmly, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. You are now a deserter and have no right to talk to me. What I do is my business. I won't punish you, I will just let you watch them being punished. Because of your cowardice, everyone was wiped out!"

"I'm not afraid of death!"

"No, you're afraid." Ning Que's eyes flashed coldly. "It's just running ten laps around the training ground, such a simple task, and you're dissatisfied with it. If there's a war in the future and you need to march hundreds of miles, what will you do? Normal training is like a battlefield, and it must be based on actual combat standards. You refuse military orders, which means you're just afraid of death!"

"I……"

"Watch them carefully! Even if they die running away now, it's all your fault. You claim to be the most elite warrior in South Vietnam and you say you're not afraid of death. But you can't even complete this small mission. I've seen people like you many times. In my opinion, you don't deserve to be a soldier!"

"Shut up, shut up!"

"I'm not, I didn't!"

Ah Niu seemed to be struck by lightning.

His eyes would glance forward from time to time.

Even Jie Jun could hardly hold on at this moment.

They could only entrust the wounded to others to carry, while Jie Jun reluctantly followed behind. His whole body was drenched in sweat, and the tattoos on his body were particularly conspicuous in the sunlight.

"Keep running, everyone!"

"The cowardly deserter leaked the information."

"The enemy is behind you now!"

"As long as this deserter doesn't show up, you have to keep running!"

"Bai Yu, did you eat your beef for nothing? You're running so slowly, are you planning to kill everyone? Now speed up! The pursuers are almost catching up, why are you still dawdling?"

"yes!"

Forced to do so, Bai Yu could only grit his teeth and speed up. This time, many of his personal guards struggled to keep up, many stumbling and falling to the ground. But they were quickly helped up by the Yue people. They were too exhausted to speak nonsense. A single glance was all they needed, and they understood each other.

“…”

Ah Niu stared at the scene blankly.

An eight-foot-tall man.

At this moment, I can't help crying!
