The Medallion

"Commander in Chief, what do you think you're doing? I thought that we've reached an agreement that you'll follow all of my orders," Rocky asked sternly while squinting his eyes at Boyd.

"Your Royal Highness, I just can't bring myself to agree with what you want. I won't sit back here while my soldiers are dying one by one in this battle. We need another plan to conquer the enemies!" Boyd said bluntly.

"Commander in Chief, let me just remind you that anyone who disobeys my order will be punished according to the military law, including you. You shall know the consequences of deliberately going against my commands. Reflect on your actions, Boyd. Guards, take him!" Rocky ordered to seize Boyd at once with an emotionless expression on his face.

At the sight of this, all the commanders of the Black Dragon Group were filled with righteous indignation at once. Rocky might be the prince of the empire, but they couldn't accept him to humiliate their Commander in Chief right before their eyes.

However, the fact still remained that Prince Crimson came to them bearing the emperor's decree, meaning that his every command was equal to the emperor's. Thus, no one dared to disobey him in public. Although it was against their will, several soldiers eventually took Boyd.

"Your Royal Highness!" Boyd didn't expect that Prince Crimson would be so cruel to really punish him at that crucial moment. Although he knew that his actions were blameworthy, he still couldn't accept that he would be treated like this.

"Hang the Commander in Chief on the back wall so that every soldier can see him!" Rocky ordered further.

At once, all of the commanders were pissed off at Rocky. This wasn't just mere punishment but an attack to disgrace the entire Black Dragon Group. The commanders all went furious but couldn't utter a single word. All of them preferred to die swiftly than be humiliated publicly.

"What? Are you angry? Then prove your worth and fight for your Commander in Chief! Remember this! If Munoz Pass is broken, Commander in Chief Boyd shall be severely punished for disobeying my direct order and for degrading the morale of the Black Dragon Group. If you don't want that to happen, you know what to do!" Rocky reprimanded the commanders ruthlessly.

With this, his words further infuriated every member of the Black Dragon Group. They were agitated because they knew that he was right. They weren't in the position to go against him since he was Prince Crimson of the Holy Dragon Empire, the son of the emperor whom he bestowed such great importance. If they acted rashly, it might bring further shame to Boyd.

Chief Boyd, are you watching? What can you say about your Black Dragon Group now?" While Boyd was stretching his neck to look over the situation below, he suddenly heard a voice nearby. Even without seeing the face of the one speaking, he instantly knew who it was.
