"I carry an order from General Ye of the Demon Suppressing Department: everyone in the department who isn't away on assignment, report here!"
A murderous air spread across the Training Ground, shrouding the entire Demon Suppressing Department in an eerie atmosphere.

"I'm only a Clerk. I deliver orders; I wouldn't dare presume to guess at their meaning. Commander, you'd best not disobey."
Kuang Zheng smiled faintly, then turned and left.
Lei Da Sheng clenched his right fist.
