Chapter 639: Pam, Who Had Fallen into Despair
Pam’s heart was bleeding. He could not forgive himself for sending all his teammates to the guillotine.
He dragged his tired body back to Drondheim City alone. The horse he was riding was given to him by the Elf King.
It was to ensure that he could return to Drondheim City successfully.
Commander Bunduk was standing on the city wall at the moment, waiting for the victor to return triumphantly.
A soldier knelt in front of Bunduk. He sobbed and reported, “Commander Bunduk, according to the reports from the front line, we were all defeated in the battle last night!”
“What?” Commander Bunduk widened his eyes. He looked at the soldier in front of him and was obviously very angry.
“You scoundrel, if you lie about the military information, you will be beheaded.”
“I definitely do not dare to do so! Commander Bunduk.”
The soldier said to Bunduk with great respect. He even had a sobbing tone. His brother was one of the Virgil knights.
His brother had died heroically last night.
Bunduk only felt that his vision was very dark now. He could not accept such a thing. That was an extremely powerful knight corps. In addition, there were more than a thousand Swadian Sergeants. How could all of them be wiped out by the enemy?
“This is bad!” Bunduk ran to the main city of Drondheim in a panic.
Kant was reviewing the words of the ministers last night.
Recently, the city-state of Drondheim was gradually rising, and the people’s voices towards him were also gradually rising. Moreover, everyone held great respect for the army and soldiers, which made Kant feel very gratified.
“Commander Bunduk, how many times have I told you, not to be so anxious and noisy during an audience?”
Kant stopped the scroll in his hand and raised his head to look at Commander Bunduk. His forehead was full of sweat, and his hands were also trembling.
Kant finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
“Commander Kant, I’m sorry, we’ve all lost!”
Bunduk said with a sobbing tone. He looked at Lord Kant with tragic eyes. Although he was not the one who lost the battle, he seemed to be blaming himself now.
He even felt that it was impossible, so he went to check on Z’s messenger pigeon last night. The battle report was indeed like this.
At that moment, he felt that his eyes were covered in black fog.
Kant was stunned. It had been a long time since he had received such shocking news. He kept repeating, “Really?”
Bunduk did not answer. He just lowered his head. It would be foolish to answer Lord Kant’s question now.
“Lord Kant, Commander Pam is back!” a soldier said to Kant.
“Let him in!” Kant’s tone was not friendly, and it even sounded like he was condemning.
The soldier trembled and retreated.
Soon, Pam kneeled in front of Kant. He did not cry, but his face was calm. At this time, his wound had not been treated, just like the old man who was scavenging outside.
He seemed to have aged dozens of years.
“Commander Pam, I need your explanation.”
Kant stood in front of Pam. He stared at him seriously, trying to figure out the origin of the matter from his body.
But Pam pursed his mouth tightly. He exhaled after a long time.
As if he had made a great decision, he said, “Lord Kant, I’m sorry. I’m here to collect my death. I beg Lord Kant to give me the criminal law in Drondheim’s eyes. I’m willing to let eight horses dismember me!”
Kant frowned, and his tone was filled with anger, he said, “Commander Pam, tell me what happened. I need a reasonable explanation. Why are you the only one left among the 1,500 soldiers I sent you? What’s going on?”
Kant was about to lose his patience.
Pam suddenly burst into tears. He said mournfully, “Those undead soldiers were too strong. Our troops are no match for them. The information is wrong!”
Kant’s eyebrows knitted together. He asked, “What’s going on?”
Pam continued, “Among these undead soldiers, there was a leader of the undead soldiers with astonishing combat strength. His jumping ability is extremely powerful, and his movement ability is much stronger than mine. I was no match for him at all, but he let me off. He was like a powerful enemy who likes to play tricks on his opponents.”
Kant clenched his fists, he said fiercely, “You’re saying that those undead soldiers have leaders, and their combat strength is much stronger than those ordinary undead soldiers? And you’re saying that the leaders also have high intelligence?”
He couldn’t believe what he had heard. According to all the intelligence reports, none of them mentioned that these undead soldiers had leaders and that these leaders actually had very strong combat strength?
Kant paused for a moment before continuing, “I don’t want my subordinates to hide anything.”
“Absolutely nothing!” Pam immediately replied.
“Very good!”
Kant laughed out loud. Perhaps he should not be laughing right now, but the desire to fight had ignited in his heart. The challenge that he had not felt for a long time had appeared, which made Kant a little excited, he did not think that the lives of the soldiers were very precious. In his eyes, they were just a pile of data, but to Pam, these data were the most precious thing to him.
“Commander Pam, since you want to be punished the most severely, I will satisfy you.”
Kant sighed and beckoned for the people on both sides to come forward.
“Take Commander Pam away. Use five horses to dismember Commander Pam to death!”
Kant’s words stunned the surrounding soldiers for a moment. Kant continued, “Do you want me to repeat it?”
The soldiers’ hands trembled in fear. They quickly lifted Commander Pam on both sides and brought him out of the main door.
Bunduk was also shocked by Kant’s action. He immediately went forward and knelt in front of Kant.
“Leader Kant, don’t you need to think about it? Although Commander Pam made a mistake in his eyes, he didn’t deserve to die, right?”
Bunduk was puzzled.
“Commander Bunduk, are you questioning my decision? Since Commander Pam wants to die, why don’t I let him meet his beloved subordinates in the underground?”
Kant said resolutely. His purpose was to let everyone see that even if he had a high position as a commander, as long as he made a mistake, he would receive the harshest punishment like an ordinary person.
Bunduk retracted his head.
Kant continued, “No matter what mistake he made, Commander Pam was wrong. He underestimated the enemy. He has already admitted this. I gave him the death sentence to let you understand that you can not make such a mistake!”
