Robin Bailey stood up from his position and walked step by step through the crowd, resting his shoulder on one person, then the next. He spoke slowly, sentence by sentence: “You are all soldiers, and you should know what soldiers are meant to do-for the country and the people. As for the Harding family, they have conspired with foreign races. I don’t need to say much; you all understand that this is a serious crime.”
“Moreover, for others, it may be a crime, but for us, it is a clash of beliefs. They have violated our faith. Therefore, they are our enemies. Belief, we have spoken of it since we enlisted.”
“Isn’t that right, everyone? Let’s begin the oath.”
Robin Bailey stood in the middle of the crowd, exuding great dignity.
“Yes,” the crowd responded in unison, followed by a series of oath declarations: “I pledge to join the Kisia Guard, unafraid of death, difficulties, or retreat. From this day forward, I will defend our country until my dying breath. I will guard our land from darkness to daylight, and I will protect the people…”
“I will strive to learn military, political, scientific, and cultural knowledge, hone my skills to defeat enemies, cherish weapons and equipment, safeguard military secrets, uphold our noble traditions, and fight against lawlessness and disorder. I will fight bravely, defending Kisia to the death, and under no circumstances will I betray my homeland…”
“From this day forward, I dedicate my beloved life to my motherland, protecting it until the end of time…”
“From this day forward, I devote my unwavering youth to my motherland, upholding my aspirations as our nation knows no boundaries…”
“I solemnly pledge to fulfill the above oath and never betray it.”
The resounding and impassioned voices echoed throughout the military district.
“Protect my motherland, until the end of time!”
“Uphold my aspirations, as our nation knows no boundaries!”
Outside, the soldiers who were undergoing training heard these words and joined in with their own shouts.
Oath!
For others, perhaps they didn’t understand the significance, but for them, it was their faith, their lives, their everything.
“These were the words you spoke on your first day of joining, the oath you took. Have you all forgotten? Under any circumstances, never betray your homeland, dedicating your beloved lives to it. Have you all forgotten? Those who conspired with the Harding family, step forward!”
Robin Bailey’s aura exploded, pressing down on everyone.
However, two people in the crowd gritted their teeth and stepped forward, saying, “I did!”
In that moment, the pressure suddenly eased, and everyone fell to the ground, gasping for breath. The two individuals also collapsed, panting heavily, their expressions complex.
“I admit it. The Harding family gave me ten million to cooperate in certain actions.”
“When I was younger, they helped me a lot.”
The two individuals confessed.
One was driven by greed, the other by a sense of obligation.
However, Robin Bailey said, “Favors can be repaid, but when it comes to betraying Kisia, that favor is no longer worth repaying. Perhaps, when the favor is too great, you repay them with your own life, instead of using the military.”
“You agree, don’t you?”
Robin Bailey walked step by step, but stopped in the middle of the path, grabbing the shoulder of one of the officers and then lowered his head to ask, “Why are you still here? Are you glad that you escaped? I’m sorry, you didn’t escape.”
Crack.
The man’s arm was snapped by Robin Bailey, and he let out a cry of pain.
But no one pleaded for him because this was the decision made by the God of War.
He was a traitor.
“What gives you the right to believe that I am a traitor?”
The man still wanted to argue.
At this moment, Robin Bailey finally glanced at him and said, “What gives you the right? Haha, Jerry Harding, do you really think I haven’t figured you out? You, a member of the Harding family, planted in the military, still have the audacity to claim you’re not a traitor.”
“You found out about me.”
Jerry Harding’s face turned pale.
He couldn’t argue anymore; he had been discovered.
“Take him away.”
Robin Bailey waved his hand, and Jerry Harding was dragged away.
As for how he was discovered, it was thanks to Ferdinand Braton. Ferdinand Braton found a logistics document, a cell phone, and a SIM card in Grover Holt’s house. The phone and SIM card were naturally used to contact Grover Holt.
That logistics document was definitely not simple.
Ferdinand Braton couldn’t understand it, but that didn’t mean that Robin Bailey and his team couldn’t. They were professionals.
They eventually deciphered it and discovered that the logistics document was a list-a list of the Harding family’s pawns planted in the border region, under Stuart Holt’s command. Stuart Holt thought it was too dangerous to keep them close to himself, so he hid them in a secret compartment in Grover Holt’s room.
And now, unexpectedly, it had fallen into Robin Bailey’s hands.
And he even managed to decipher it.
One of them happened to be Jerry Harding.
“Oh, and don’t kill him. I still have use for this man.”
Robin Bailey gave them a signal and then turned to the other two individuals. “Both of you are guilty, but I’m giving you a chance, and you’ve taken it. Death penalty can be spared, and even the punishment for your crimes can be reduced if you behave well this time.”
“Thank you, God of War.”
The two officers immediately saluted.
They thought they were doomed, but unexpectedly, there was still a glimmer of hope.
The God of War may be a butcher, but he still had a sense of compassion.
Next, Robin Bailey began to arrange various matters for them. The army had to move, but it couldn’t be done openly. Fortunately, there was internal chaos in the border region, and a portion of the military was deployed for security while the remaining soldiers conducted military exercises.
The movements couldn’t be too conspicuous.
They would follow Robin Bailey’s command in everything.
Once the location of the Harding family was confirmed, the hundred thousand-strong army would surround them. Although they were ordinary soldiers, ants could still bite an elephant when they were numerous, especially with the presence of Robin Bailey and Jeff Reczek, the two prehistoric tyrannosaurs.
Biting an elephant wouldn’t be a problem.
Afterward, Robin Bailey got into a car and returned to the border region. However, upon his arrival, he encountered a woman.
“It’s you!”
Marie looked at Robin Bailey and immediately remembered what happened last time. Last time, she was Elijah Wilson’s manager, holding a high position and influence. She had daily contact with Elijah Wilson. But she didn’t understand how she was suddenly fired.
She thought about it from every angle but couldn’t figure it out.
However, she knew it must be related to that person because at that time, she only offended that guy.
“Tell me, what means did you use to bewitch the chairman’s mind and make him fire me? Tell me, what means did you use?”
Marie was furious.
She knew that Elijah Wilson’s leg had healed, and he was about to rise to great heights. But now, she had been fired, losing the glory and wealth, and missing out on becoming the young mistress of the Wilson family.
Unforgivable.
It must be this guy’s doing.
It must be this guy who used some means to bewitch the chairman’s mind, a despicable person.
“How boring.”
Robin Bailey glanced at her and no longer paid attention. She was just a subordinate of Elijah Wilson, a woman who could be fired at any time.
