Military orders

Bagg was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, and Yago was disgusted by his appearance, so he quickly kicked Bagg away.

But to everyone's surprise, as Bagg was being kicked away while rolling around, he casually reached out and pulled out a dark pistol. When he stood up, covered in dust and looking disheveled, he found himself holding a black pistol.

Bang! The loud gunshot startled everyone present, and they all looked at Bagg with shocked expressions.

Bagg held a brand-new Luger pistol in his hand, its dark muzzle pointed at Yago's forehead. He spat viciously at him, and Bagg grimaced as he rubbed his burning face.

"You dare to be so arrogant again! Ouch~ that hurts so much! Even my dad wouldn't dare hit me like that! You bastard, kneel down!"

At this moment, one of Bagg's men quickly came over and whispered, "Sir, you can't! Pointing a gun at your fellow Marley is illegal! Besides, this Officer is Lieutenant Colonel; he has the right to apply for Military Court- martial!"

But Bagg, consumed by rage, didn't care about any of that. He'd never suffered such humiliation before. No matter what, this guy had to kneel down and apologize to him today. Pushing his men aside, Bagg continued to yell for Yago to kneel down and apologize.

Yago stared at Bagg, almost laughing. Could such a small pistol really threaten him?

After a pause, Yago walked straight to Bagg again, as if Bagg was holding nothing more than a toy gun.

Bagg hadn't expected this Marley Officer to actually dare to come closer. He immediately shouted, "You! Don't come any closer! Do you think I wouldn't dare to shoot?! If you dare to advance again, I really will shoot! Stop!"

But Yago merely smiled dismissively and continued walking towards Bagg without flinching.

Yago's contempt snapped the last thread of reason in Bagg's head. He closed his eyes, screamed, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The Eldia Soldiers around were all startled, and Selina's pupils contracted sharply. Her amber eyes showed a hint of worry as she looked at Yago, who had stopped in his tracks.

Bagg regretted it the moment he pulled the trigger. If Yago really died, he was finished too. If he was just Eldians, it wouldn't be so bad; he could be dealt with easily. But the crime of shooting a fellow Marley was enough to ruin his life.

When Bagg opened his eyes, trembling, he saw long, slender fingers suddenly pressing against the muzzle of his pistol.

Bagg let out a strange cry and released the pistol, but the pistol remained steadily suspended in mid-air, with the muzzle held between Yago's fingers.

Bagg's random shot didn't even touch Yago's clothes; it just sent up a trail of dirt on the muddy ground.

Yago tightened his fingers slightly, and Bagg's eyes widened as he watched in disbelief as the cylindrical muzzle flattened under Yago's finger.

"You you you you..." Bagg stammered, staring at Yago with a face full of terror, unable to even speak coherently.

Yago casually tossed aside his pistol, grabbed Bagg's shoulder, and said with a "friendly" expression, "Shooting your own comrade, quartermaster, do you know the consequences? The iron bars of Military Court are beckoning you." Yago had gathered quite a bit of intelligence these past few days, and naturally, he had also learned about Marley's military laws.

Bagg realized what was happening and immediately knelt down, pleading, "No! No! Brother! It's all a misunderstanding! I... I didn't mean it! Please, brother! It's my fault! Give me a chance! I'll give you anything you want!"

Yago sneered and asked, "Is that so? You'll agree to anything?"

Bagg nodded frantically, willing to suffer heavy losses to save himself, otherwise he would really be going to jail. No matter how powerful his background was, it couldn't interfere with the Military Court directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense.

Yago: "Alright, you said it yourself. I want all the supplies in the cars behind you. How about it? You agree?"

Bagg was taken aback. That was all? This amount of supplies didn't seem like much to him! He could just add another item to the list, no big deal!

Seeing Bagg standing there dumbfounded, Yago asked "kindly," "What? You won't agree?"

Bagg: "!! No no no! I promise! I promise! Of course, no problem! This is nothing! You're so loyal, brother! I was a jerk before, I'll slap myself twice, from now on you're my best brother!"

As he spoke, Bagg slapped his already red face twice more, but his expression was exceptionally bright, and he even instructed his men to move the supplies.

The Eldia Soldiers of the Third Regiment, including Selina, stared in disbelief at the fantastical scene before them. Just moments ago, Bagg had been pointing a gun at someone's head, but now his chubby face was beaming like a chrysanthemum—or rather, a red chrysanthemum.

As boxes of supplies were unloaded, Bagg rubbed his hands together and exclaimed, "You're so generous, Brother Loa! It's all thanks to you! I don't know how to thank you enough. These supplies are nothing; I'd be happy to receive just this much from you in the future!"

Yago: "Alright, then from now on, follow this sign exactly, not a single one can be missing, otherwise, there are quite a few eyewitnesses today." After saying that, Yago turned and left, leaving Bagg looking completely dazed.

I'm just being polite... If I always give you this much, how am I supposed to make any extra money?

But there was nothing he could do; with someone holding the leverage over him, Bagg had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill. After unloading the supplies, Bagg and his men slunk away.

The Eldia Soldiers of the Third Regiment stared at each other, somewhat bewildered by the mountain of supplies. Finally, someone cheered, and all the other Soldiers joined in.

Yago, meanwhile, returned to his tent alone while the Soldiers cheered.

When they arrived at the tent, there was already someone standing in front of it.

Selina looked at the handsome young Marley Officer in front of her with a complicated expression. She and her men had never imagined that the Marleyan would help them.

Yago walked up to Selina and tilted his head. "What? Something you need? Want to thank me?"

Selina swallowed hard, "I..."

Yago suddenly brought his face close, staring into Selina's eyes, and called out seriously, "Selina!?"

Startled by the sudden shout, Selina instinctively replied, "Yes!"

But Yago simply patted Selina on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Good luck." Then he walked into the tent, leaving Selina completely bewildered. What did he mean?

As evening approached, the aroma of meat filled the Third Regiment's Military Camp. The ample supplies finally allowed the Third Regiment's cooks to start preparing meals.

The Third Regiment was also filled with some rare laughter and joy, and the thousands of Eldia Soldiers felt a little more favorably disposed towards Captain Loa, who had stood up for them today.

But that was no longer important to Yago; he was ready to leave the Military Camp that very night.

An Eldia Soldiers entered the tent. "Captain Loa, there's a military order." The Soldiers's tone became more respectful. After placing the order down, the Soldiers left.

Yago packed up the intelligence, glanced casually at the military order, but suddenly froze. Picking up the order, Yago was a little surprised; it was very short, containing only one command, "Hand over the Marley Warrior Candidate the Eldia Third Regiment under the First Army at the front."
