C299 The Military Was Shaken

The Lo Gucheng seemed to have gone mad. When he finished speaking, blood and tears actually flowed out from his eyes, and his expression was sorrowful. When everyone saw this, they were all moved, and they sighed with emotion. Just as they were about to advise each other, they saw that he'd stood up resolutely from the ground, and he still had his head lowered. He turned his back to everyone and spoke with a voice that was like a thunderclap. "All commanders of the Lonely Soul Legion, listen up!"

The commanders were currently in a state of grief that was difficult to endure. However, they forcefully stopped choking when they heard this. They replied in an orderly and loud voice, "Your subordinate is here!"

"The Lonely Soul Legion claims to be the number one army in the Great Chu, the bane of the Barbarian Tribe. Over ten years, they have protected the entire Great Chu like a day. Until now, they have never suffered a defeat. Millions of border soldiers. All of them are proud of being selected by the Lonely Soul. Thousands of border generals have chosen to be the commander of the Lonely Soul for their entire lives. How glorious is the Lonely Soul Legion! "

Lo Gucheng smiled sadly, "However, the Lonely Soul Legion, which makes everyone in the Great Chu proud, now has someone who privately colluded with the Barbarian Tribe and lured a wolf into our house, disregarding the reputation of millions of soldiers. Under the eyes of so many people, they almost let the enemies of the Barbarian Tribe abduct our princess. What kind of shame is this?!"

"Are you willing to be punished?"

All the commanders replied with grief and indignation, "This subordinate was unable to monitor the situation properly, and was willing to accept the punishment!"

"Good!" Only then did Lo Gucheng turn around and face the crowd. He ordered in a deep voice, "Order all of you to return to the camp at once. Gather three thousand soldiers under your command and order them to remove their armor and hand over their weapons. Tomorrow morning, the troops will return to the court and await your punishment!"

"This subordinate obeys the order!" The military order was as heavy as a mountain, and the eight commanders did not dare to delay. With a swoosh, they stood up and left in a hurry.

One could imagine how much of a shock their actions would cause to the army and even the entire border.

The Lo Gucheng took a few steps towards Dou Tianlai and immediately knelt on the ground without getting up. "The Lo Gucheng allowed people to be careless and almost made a huge mistake. There was no way to make up for it and it was up to the Marshal to punish it!"

"The Lo Gucheng was not strong enough to defend the border, which caused the assassins of Barbarian Tribe to enter the border in public. They almost kidnapped the princess of our dynasty, which resulted in a big mistake. If you think that they have colluded with the enemy, you can temporarily withdraw from your position as the First General. Tomorrow, you will return to the Lonely Soul Legion for a pilgrimage!"

After saying that, Dou Tianlai sighed and could not bear to watch anymore.

"The Lo Gucheng will obey the Marshal's orders!"

. . .

Half an incense stick of time later, the thirty thousand Lonely Soul soldiers removed their armor, shaking the army!

The soldiers of the Lonely Soul who knew the truth were filled with grief and indignation. However, none of them resisted or disobeyed the order when they removed their armor. It was obvious that they were willing to be punished.

As for the remaining million soldiers, they were not so quiet. The Lonely Soul Legion had swept across the border for fifteen years. Their invincibility had deeply affected every single person in the border, including the one million soldiers. From the generals to the ordinary soldiers. All of them were proud to have entered the Lonely Soul. One could imagine how high the status of the Lonely Soul Legion was in their hearts. However, they had never thought that things would change so quickly. In less than half an incense stick of time, the Lonely Soul Legion was facing the risk of disintegration. It no longer existed, especially when the soldiers saw that their commander had removed his armor. He looked dispirited as he was escorted out of the tent by Cui Ming and the others like a prisoner. The soldiers were in an uproar.

Lo Gucheng had been in charge of the border for 20 years. In the hearts of the younger generation in the army, After all, no matter how powerful Dou Tianlai was, he would never be able to defeat him. They had only heard it from other people, but they had never seen it with their own eyes. The power of the Lo Gucheng was something that they could feel with their own eyes, whether it was in terms of leading the troops or their own combat strength. The Lo Gucheng was undoubtedly the number one war god in their hearts. Now that they saw the war god being humiliated, How could they not be furious?

"Let go of General Lo. General Lo and the brothers of Lonely Soul Legion have won the war for the Great Chu for so many years. Twenty years is like a day protecting the peace of the Great Chu. How could they be spies? I think you outsiders are spies! You are obviously jealous of General Lo's contribution. We must not let these despicable traitors harm General Lo. We must unite and chase these outsiders out!"

Among the crowd, a young general who had a lot of prestige in the army jumped to a high place and shouted. Immediately, countless people in the army responded to him.

"Let's unite and save General Lo and drive away the outsiders!"

"Outsiders, let us, General Lo, go!"

"Outsiders, get the hell out of here!"

. . .

At this moment, almost half of the million strong army was involved in the denouncement. Hundreds of thousands of people were shouting, and their voices were as loud as the sound of thunder.

As for the remaining half of the people who remained silent, most of them were veterans. They were different from those young people. They had all experienced the era when Dou Tianlai was invincible on the battlefield. They knew very well how scary this old War Prince was. He was the undisputed number one war god of Great Chu. Their respect for Dou Tianlai was even greater than the Lo Gucheng, but it didn't mean that they didn't agree with the Lo Gucheng. After spending more than twenty years together, the Lo Gucheng had already become the number two war god in their hearts by relying on his outstanding battle achievements. They were equally dissatisfied with what Dou Tianlai and the others had done. The reason why they weren't as indignant as those young men was because they believed in Dou Tianlai. This eternal general in their hearts would definitely give them a satisfactory explanation.

"All of you, quiet down!"

At this moment, a thunderous roar exploded out of thin air, shocking everyone. Three breaths later, the scene suddenly quieted down. Everyone looked at the Lo Gucheng with a solemn expression. It was him who had stopped everything just now.

The Lo Gucheng slowly took a few steps forward. Its sharp eyes swept across the crowd. Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at it. Therefore, the Lo Gucheng said sternly, "Soldiers, listen up. All of you, quickly retreat and return to your posts. Do not make any noise again, and do not provoke or cause trouble. Those who disobey will be punished by military law!"

When he said this, the army immediately boiled up again. The radical young soldiers fell to their knees and sobbed. "General, we. . . We can't bear to part with you!"

"General, don't leave!"

"General Lo, stay! "

. . .

The Lo Gucheng finally sighed softly when he saw this. Two lines of tears involuntarily rolled down from his eyes. If it was any other person, he would still be able to use his might and military law to force them to compromise. However, the soldiers had revealed their true feelings. Moreover, he was not a stone-hearted person. Hence, how could he bear to berate them?

The scene fell into chaos once again. The Lo Gucheng was no longer able to control it. Cui Ming and the others were at a loss as if they had been possessed. At this moment, a sigh was faintly transmitted from behind everyone. Soon after, a figure slowly walked out of the tent.
