Chapter 1162: Myrth: 132

(Unedited)

…

Around twenty soldiers immediately run toward the tent where Xin Ja is and surround it. They all knew that he is heavily wounded and that the two medical masters have just left. So their timing is just right and would not let that little bastard escape.

When they have heard that a mere medical apprentice killed a soldier in the front lines and a squad leader at that, most of the soldiers immediately wanted to take revenge for their fallen comrade.

And this is the reason why they became aggressive upon surrounding the tent.

The officer suddenly barges inside the tent with his weapon drawn. As he enters aggressively he is expecting to see someone lying on the ground. But to his surprise, he saw no one inside the tent.

The two medical masters followed inside and wanted to stop the officer, but they too were astonished to find no one inside the tent.

"What is happening here?!" shouted the officer as he glared at the two medical masters who just walked inside the tent.

"We… we don't know. We just left him in here not so long ago." One of the medical masters replied.

"Damn it! Search the area! He should not have escaped that far!" shouted the officer as he walks out of the tent.

The rest of the soldiers began looking around and soon someone saw traces of blood on a wall.

"Sir! We found some traces in here!" shouted one of the soldiers.

The rest heard his words and they began to gather in that direction. The group of soldiers saw the traces of blood heading to an alley.

"Be on guard that bastard is a tricky one. He is able to kill Tou Gou who is a leader of a squad, so the rest of you do not underestimate him." said the officer.

As they enter the alleyway, a soldier who is an expert in tracking then said.

"The trail ends here… I cannot find any other leads, sir…"

This is the moment that they realized that something is wrong.

Wham!!!

"Damn it! Did that crafty bastard trick us?" the officer said as he slammed his fist on the wall.

He looks around the alleyway as they backtrack on their tracks and continue their search.

Meanwhile, the two medical masters reported to the three heads about what happened and the attitude of the soldiers towards the youth Xin Ja. The two knew of the status of Xin Ja and his contribution to the war. Although it is not widespread news as the little guy just wanted to be low-key, some of them knew about it from the three elders.

So they feel a bit aggrieved about the attitude of the soldiers towards their benefactor.

Upon hearing this, the three old men who are leading the medical masters of the battalion became enraged.

The white-haired old man immediately stormed to the office of the commander of the army.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in!" the middle-aged commander said as he heard someone is knocking on the door.

"Sir, I just saw Medical Master Lee coming walking towards our building, I think he…" the adjutant wanted to continue but the commander lifted his hand to stop him.

"Let him in, if he gets here…" the commander said.

Inside the medieval-looking room with simple decoration are three men… the commander, and his two high-ranking officers.

"What is the situation?" the commander asked.

"We have received news that the guy just disappear…"

"Why did he escape? What did you do?" asked one of the adjutants on the side to his colleague.

"I asked some soldiers to go and get him…" replied the other one.

"You… that little guy is someone that the medical masters are protecting. Do you know what this entails?!"

"Enough!" the commander frown as he did not want to listen to the two squabbles.

He is not sure if what he receives is correct, but judging from the youthful appearance of the guy, it seems impossible for him to be such an expert as the reports said. He is basing his judgment according to what he saw. He would not believe anything unless he saw it with his own eyes. That is the reason why he did not believe the news that the youth who killed an officer is such a character.

And since he escaped, this only tells that he is guilty of such a crime and needed to be punished.

"Since he escape, then this will soon turn into insubordination and would soon be a capital offense…" the Commanded said.

The commander of the 708 Infantry Battalion is General Zhang Baguan. He is a 15th level Ki Adept and has been in the military force for more than 20 years now and has served the kingdom for almost half of his life. He values talent the most and when he first saw Xin Ja he became interested in the small guy.

But everything changes when that guy killed an officer. What he detests the most is someone killing a fellow soldier. No matter what, he should not have killed his fellow soldier and an officer at that. So he suddenly did not look favorably at the youth.

No matter how talented that young man is, he would not shield him from the law of the military.

He has reviewed the records of that young guy. He is Xin Ja, who belongs to the 3rd company, 2nd platoon. He has not been assigned a squad but someone recommended him to squad 2, in which the leader is Officer Ur Lax.

But from the direction of the situation, it seems that the guy's military career would soon be over.

The commander looks outside the window and did not say anything anymore.

The two adjutants kept their silence and just look at each other. The other one is gloating while the other one is a bit apprehensive. He wanted to say something but the commander has already set his mind on this.

Wham!

The door was kicked open as an old man barges inside.

"What is the meaning of this, Commander Fu! I have already told you that Xin Ja is someone that we the medical masters owe something. Why are your soldiers hunting him!" shouted the old man.

The commander did not say anything… instead, one of his adjutants answered.

"Master Lee… The one whom you are protecting is an offender! He killed an officer!" said the adjutant with a mocking tone.

"You! I heard what had happened… You were there! You saw everything, and yet you did not stop the fight. And now that something has happened you wanted to shirk responsibility! You wanted a low-level medical apprentice to carry the burden of your own negligence! If you do not take care of this… I will report this to the higher-ups!"

When the adjutant heard this, his expression change.

"Master Lee! We are a military organization! The head of the organization is the commander… How dare you oppose him?!" the adjutant shouted.

Medical Master Lee scowled as he looks at the adjutant in contempt.

"Without us in the medical master field, you would have already turned into corpses… How fast can you forget?" he said as he turn around and left.

All this time, Commander General Zhang Baguan kept his silence and did not say anything as his brows is scrunched. He looks at the window and looks at the clouds outside. He seems to be thinking of something.

"Sir… should we…"

Before the other adjutant could say anything, Commander General Zhang Baguan lifted his head and heaves a deep sigh.

"Send my command… Hunt the fugitive down…" he said with a serious expression.

The two adjutants have different reactions. One is enthusiastic in conveying this order, while the other one is hesitant. He knew that what happened back then is partially their fault for not intervening. In truth, it was their commander's fault for letting the fight drags on.

That battle could have ended without any casualties, but no… it did not.

Because of some unknown reason which he himself could not understand, their commander actually let the battle end with one of the two dead.

Plus he let that little guy go at that time. He did not know why, but deep in his heart, there is a deep doubt brewing.

He did not stay long inside the commander's quarters and instead went back and began studying the file of Xin Ja. While reading, he suddenly discovered something.

Xin Jong… that name rings a bell. He then recalled that the person is actually a war hero. But that is not what made him think of something.

Before the war started, he received a new which involves the extended family of the commander… the Ra family and the 6th prince's Silver Glade Merchant company.

Although he could still not connect the situation, yet deep in his heart he knew that this has something got to do with the changing decision of the commander.

Instead of reading the files of Xin Ja, he walks to the drawer and then takes out the confidential file inside a locked cabinet.

As he takes out the file, it reads… Commander General Zhang Baguan… on the cover.
