Rage, Anger, Emperor's Spirit!

After hearing the announcement, everybody in the square started talking amongst themselves. "Those four are going to die." "Man, I really liked them, they were nice people." "I bet you that their squad leader slept with one of the commander's woman." A bunch of guesses popped up about what Charles did to have his squad members tied up like this. Liu Xuan frowned and spoke, "This is what Er Hong has in mind, killing his men?" "Calm down Liu Xuan; Er Hong isn't as stupid as he might look. We should continue observing." Commander Yue replied.

Er Hong walked up on stage and looked at the crowd of people. "Commander Yue, Lieutenant Liu Xuan thank you for coming to observe this trial!" He bowed towards them in thanks. "Today we are here to judge the actions of Charles and his squad members! Just today the squad leader Charles has been seen to be discussing with bandits that have been roaming around the town lately and has even brought them inside! Many of the townsfolk have seen him meeting these bandits out in the streets! But because too many people had seen him with the bandits he slaughters all of them ruthlessly in cold blood! But the townsfolk have been tricked by this young fox!

They now think that he is some hero! That is nonsense! The only reason one must kill is when they are on the battlefield. Even bandits have families and should be taken into army custody for trial! With these multiple offenses he has done under the law of the emperor; I believe that he is a traitorous pig! Not only that but a traitorous foreign pig! I have made a grave mistake in allowing such a foreigner to sneak into our ranks. But I can assure you that this will never happen again!" most of the soldiers who supported Er Hong cheered while few of them who knew the four up on the stage frowned. In the crowd, Andreas and the guard captain that had followed Charles to the barracks glared in anger.

"That bastard, I swear if anything happens to Charles I'll snap that bastard's neck!" Andreas shouted, but only the guard captain managed to hear him with all the noise. "Keep your voice down Andreas! Charles is not up there so we can assume his somewhere else!" The guard captain said. "Fine, but Charles better be alive!" Andreas grumbled as he stared hatefully at the smiling Er Hong. "So, this is his plan, to shift the blame to an easier target. He must be happy that he had such good luck in finding someone to blame on." Liu Xuan spoke as he examined Er Hong's plan.

"Er Hong had always been good with his sweet talk. If his heart was honourable he would have been a great minister." Commander Yue commented. "Commander Yue, both of us know that Er Hong would never do that. He is too addicted to greed and lust." Liu Xuan replied. "I know, let us see what he will do with those 4 soldiers." Commander Yue said. "Thank you! Because we are unable to find that foreign bastard, we have instead rounded up his squad members instead! So, come out foreign bastard! Come out! Show us if you have a soul inside of you! If you do not come out before I shout to 10 I'll kill one of them and repeat it over and over and over until all of them are dead! So, come out!" Er Hong shouted while smiling.

"He's trying to lure the squad captain out by using his squad members, how will that help?" Liu Xuan couldn't understand the disgusting thoughts of a man such as Er Hong. "He is trying to lure out the squad captain by using the squad captain's emotions. If the squad captain were to be furious and attack Er Hong, he would win because it ties into how violent the boy is, and he could easily make him the bandit leader. Your kindness is also the reason why I've told you multiple times to keep your emotions in check during battle." Commander Yue replied. "I see, Er Hong truly is a horrible person..." Liu Xuan commented with a frown. "You will see more of these types of people in the capital Liu Xuan, be careful of their kind." Commander Yue told Liu Xuan.

"1! Come! 2! Show yourself! 3! Or I will cut their heads off one by one!" Er Hong shouted as he raised his sword high up. "This damned bastard! How could he say those things about our captain!" Dong Jian shouted as he tried to release the ropes from his hands." "It's impossible Dong Jian, we are going to die here. I don't think our captain will come." Luo Cheng said hopelessly while Zhong Huang suddenly spoke. "No. I believe he will come." Then Chen Lei also shouted with tears in his eyes "I agree! I do not believe that he will abandon us like this! We must wait for him! I believe in the captain!"

"You're too trusting Chen Lei! But, our only hope to get us out of this..." Luo Cheng gritted his teeth as he tried to think of a way out of this but every plan of his that would work had all come down to Charles arriving to save them. "7! Where are you! 8! Do you not care about your squad members you devil?! 9!" but before Er Hong could finish a loud voice shouted, "Don't you dare touch Charles's squad you sick fuck!" Suddenly a bunch of soldiers flew back creating a path from the middle of the army to the stage. Andreas was overflowing with rage as his Emperor's Spirit kicked into overdrive! He has unlocked the first lock of the Emperor's Spirit due to sheer anger!

"Since Charles isn't here to beat the shit out of your sorry ass. I will!" Andreas shouted as he walked down the path. His shirt had been ripped apart due to the aura of his Emperor's Spirit showing an extremely muscular upper body while holding an iron staff. "You dare defend the traitor and defy a commander of the emperor?! Very well I will accept your useless challenge!" Er Hong replied as he jumped off the stage and walked towards Andreas. "Commander Yue we should stop this! That kid will die if he faces Er Hong!" Liu Xuan shouted

"You do not need to concern yourself with a boy's rash decisions. Besides the boy has Emperor's Spirit, he will be fine." Commander Yue replied. "Emperor's Spirit?! How could a mere soldier have that?!" Liu Xuan asked, but Commander Yue didn't reply. "Shit Andreas what in the world are you doing! You'll die if you do this!" The guard captain shouted "Fuck off Orson! I do not need to hear your weak shouts! I am here to protect Charles's honor! I won't let my rival's name get slandered by this fuck!" Andreas shouted in anger. It's like rage had overtaken him!

"Hmph your just an angry foreign dog who can't keep his mouth shut! Allow me to put you down and end your miserable life! Be grateful for I, Er Hong, has allowed you to die before my sword!" Suddenly a strong gust of wind blew around the square, and everyone felt stiff! Er Hong had released his own Emperor's Spirit which was full of authority and power! All the soldiers quickly moved back and made a circle surrounding the 2. It now looked like a mini arena! "Alright, you fuck face! Stand there as I break every bone in your fucking body!" Andreas shouted and rushed at Er Hong.

"You dare to rush at me at such a slow pace?! You are a fool! Fine! It will make it easier for me to kill you!" Er Hong shouted as he swung his one-handed sword down onto Andreas. Andreas quickly blocks the quick sword! But the sword doesn't bounce off and Er Hong kept putting more force into the sword and Andreas is slowly getting pushed back as he tries to endure the attack! What's the matter foreign dog?! Where is that anger now?! Where is that strong attitude now?! You know what I see now?! A dead dog that I'm going to feed to beggars on the streets!" Er Hong taunted Andreas as he puts more and more pressure into the sword.

He was already pressuring Andreas massively with just one hand on his sword! "Shit Andreas hang it there! Don't die!" Orson shouted! "I already know that you fuck!" Andreas shouted as he gets out of the attack by rolling to the side. "At least you have some brains foreign dog. Now taste my blade!" Er Hong shouted as he swung his blade down again! Andreas then remembered his duel with Charles where Charles had only kicked the ground once, and it felt like he teleported! "Alright lend me your strength Charles!"
