He was Dorodo’s city defense army’s disgrace!
“Do you admit that you hid this woman in the base?” Josef asked, looking coldly at George.
George felt a thump in his heart. He knew he was in trouble.
He might have had room for defense if he feigned ignorance upon arrival or even denied that he knew this woman. However, he asked Josef why he captured his woman as soon as he came, admitting his relationship with her and the fact that he hid her in the barracks.
In that case, what did he have to defend himself?
“Since you have nothing to say, don’t blame me for handling you as per the law.”
Josef turned to look at Sandra and asked, “Sandra, what’s the punishment for hiding a woman in the army for fun and causing a major negative influence?”
“40 lashes in public and a dishonorable discharge from the army!” Sandra replied loudly that the city defense soldiers heard him loud and clear.
When Gregory and Anthony heard this, they knew George was going down today.
The city defense soldiers who had surrounded to watch looked excited, while George’s face turned livid.
“Commander Killian, Commander Laurent, do you have any objections to this punishment?” Josef asked, looking at the chiliarches Gregory and Anthony.
Gregory and Anthony did not disagree, of course.
They replied together, “No objections!”
Josef looked at the city defense soldiers again before asking loudly,” Soldiers, do you have any objection to this punishment?”
“No objections!” The city defense soldiers waved their fists and shouted.
George’s face went from livid to pale at the deafening shouts.
The fact that so many soldiers had no objection to his punishment was a sign that he had become a target of public criticism. He could only put his hopes in his old father.
