His expression was solemn and dignified, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, exuding an imposing aura without anger.
Just by standing there, one can feel a powerful and inviolable sense of majesty and oppression.
All the hunters immediately straightened up, lined up neatly, stood up straight, saluted, and shouted, "Captain!"
"Um!"
Suiying casually glanced at the hunters in front of him.
Ultimately, it settled on Hero.
"Bring the person over here."
He shouted in response to the shadow.
As he finished speaking, a cacophony of pleas for mercy erupted from the back of the convoy.
Two burly men quickly carried a man over.
When Hiro and the other surviving hunters saw this man, their eyes all turned red.
Anger and grief intertwined, making their eyes almost spit fire.
The person being supported was none other than the vice-captain of their team.
The person being supported was none other than their team's vice-captain, Jon.
That traitor who abandoned them and ran away alone last night.
"What should be the punishment for a squad's vice-captain who abandons his comrades and flees alone?"
Suiying's voice was calm, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
"He deserves to die!"
"He deserves to die!"
"..."
"Please, Captain, do us a favor."
The survivors of the first hunting team shouted angrily.
If it weren't for the presence of the captain, they would have already lost their temper and rushed forward to tear Jon to pieces.
"According to the Lighthouse's laws, anyone who abandons their comrades or deserts in the face of battle shall be executed without mercy!"
Hiro clenched his teeth, his voice low and powerful, as if squeezed out from between his teeth.
Upon hearing this, Jon's face turned deathly pale. He seemed to have all his strength drained away, and his body went limp and collapsed to the ground.
Then he hurriedly struggled to get up, fell to the ground, and began to frantically kowtow.
At the same time, he kept begging for mercy, saying, "Captain, I... I really didn't run away for myself. I was worried that if everyone died, there would be no one to provide you with important information..."
Upon hearing Jon's words, Hiro's eyes grew even colder, and his voice became increasingly indifferent as he said, "Intelligence? I already relayed it back to the Lighthouse via communicator. Do I need you to provide it?"
The first hunting team consists of over 100 people.
From Captain Homan to ordinary hunters.
Not a single person abandoned their teammates.
Some were even willing to risk their lives to stay behind and cover the retreat so that their teammates could break through successfully.
However, as the team's vice-captain, Jon failed to fulfill his responsibility to protect his teammates.
Instead, he used all the hunters in his squad to draw the attention of the Soul Eater, allowing him to escape alone.
Such behavior is shameful and hateful.
"The captain had already given us the order to retreat. I successfully broke through the encirclement. What did I do wrong? Did I have to stay there and die with you all?"
Jon shouted at the top of his lungs.
"you……"
Hiro's lips trembled with anger, but he couldn't find any other reason to refute it.
"You did nothing wrong by breaking through, but as the team's vice-captain, abandoning your teammates and escaping alone is a capital offense..."
Charlie said in a cold voice.
"Then let's proceed according to the Lighthouse's laws!"
Suiying waved.
A burly man standing next to Jon immediately drew a pistol from his waist and aimed it at Jon's head.
"Captain... Captain..."
Jon still wanted to beg for mercy.
But before he could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out.
The bullet had pierced his temple.
Jon's mouth was still open, and his eyes were beginning to glaze over.
