"Yes this is a slave collar, so what? Deal with it. As if nobody has ever forced you to wear one," Gerald said.
"You want me to put it in my neck?" Rosa asked.
"Not that you perverted maiden, He must mean that we should put it in the unconscious soldier," Laura said.
"What? You don't trust me. Why don't you try to wear one?" Gerald said as he forcefully removed Rosa's helmet and put a slave collar on her neck.
"What are you doing?" Rosa asked as she tried to release her collar.
"Rosa, Sit!" Gerald said.
"What? As if I will follow your order like a...," She said before a high voltage shock was transferred to her body.
"Sit."
She sat on the ground like an obedient slave, "My pride has been stomped on the ground, hard."
He removed the collar from her neck. And he explained the plan about "recruiting" the radicals troops that they had just captured in hope for restoring peace and stability in the Augary.
Rosa put her hand in her head, "As a former commander, I know that any penal unit is going to have some faith that our side is better than both the radicals and tbe conservatives. Any idea?" Rosa asked.
Gerald lifted the black from the ground and he started attaching the slave collar to the guards that had passed out around them. He shared the workload with the women so it would be done quicker.
Snap snap snap, that's the sound of the collar being put to the necks of the POWs. They would wake up in around 6 hours, so there was a lot of time to prepare.
From all of the hassle, the palace was guarded by 45 radicals soldiers. It was a good catch overall.
Plan C, it was a plan that was roughly designed to accommodate the sudden change of situation in the Augary kingdom. Plan A was to negotiate the terms so the prince would lend his army to him. Plan B was to kill the prince if be refused. Plan C was to brainwash and convince any hostile to join their side.
While attaching the slave collar, Rosa had the time to ask Gerald on his mad plan, "So... Why do you think that making a penal unit is a good idea?"
He stopped what was he doing and made a loud humming noise before answering her question, "No country can be successful without peace and stability."
"I see that, so that's why you make a penal unit, " Rosa said.
"Yup, I want to restore peace and stability in the central region first. Then we can move on to other things. There is no point in trading if the country is dangerous. Everything will be very expensive, " Gerald said.
Laura thought for a moment and gave her idea, "But sir, we have robots army. Why don't we use it?" She asked.
"Good question Laura. It is because I also want the people's support. A robot can't do that, but certainly, a human can and they will do it, " Gerald said as he attached the last collar in a soldier's neck.
"That's the last of them."
50 soldiers in total, they would be the first peacekeeper that Augary kingdom had. They would do the peacekeeping mission as well as winning the citizen support. They would give food and supplies for the citizens of the kingdom. It would start in the surrounding region first.
"So... How will the peacekeeper dress up? We can't make the same clothes as the radicals and conservatives, " Rosa said.
"Hmm, I think about a regular infantry soldier back at my old world. Just a guy dressed in white and wore a blue helmet or a blue beret. Nothing fancy, " Gerald said.
"Oh, I kinda like this. So, are you going to give tech to the POWs?" Rosa asked.
"Yes, but a less advanced one, " Gerald said as he pressed a button to wake all the prisoners up and prepared them for their training.
Loud screams were echoing from around the palace, mostly from the guards that were put a slave collar on its neck. The one that was lying beside them scream too and looked at them with intense hatred.
He struggled to release his collar, but every time he did that, he got a shock from that collar, "Who are you? What do you want from me? Arrrgh, " he said before an electric shock zapped him again.
"Good afternoon, my name is unimportant. Gather your friends in the yard! Resistance is futile!" The black humanoid figure that was wearing a black combat suit shouted before an electric shock shocked that person again and he went running like crazy to his other friends.
Laura, Rosa, and he was used to seeing that kind of view. It wouldn't disturb their minds that much, but it certainly would destroy them, the POWs, mentally and physically. He looked at the windows and saw the POWs were lining up in the front of the palace. They were trying to get the collar off their neck but greeted by electrical shock.
"Let's go to the yard, let's clear their confusion," Gerald walked to the yard where his POWs would be waiting
There were multiple kinds of faces there, ranging from confused one to the scared one. The person that they met was looking at him, he trembled, a lot. In fact, the way that he walked was awkward. Everyone looked at Gerald in fear, in pain, or in confusion.
"You radicals scum! Stand down in the might of the republic!" he shouted before another electric shock shocked all of them again.
Like any POWs, they were speechless, the couldn't say anything. All of their freedoms were taken by him. The person that has the same ability as a God in their eyes.
A big battle cruiser turned off its camouflage, the 2km large black ship felt as if the God was very angry with them. The battlecruiser landed and a massive amount of robots were disembarking from the ship. They entered the palace and lined up beside Gerald and his women.
The robot was a humanoid black combat robot that was equipped with a .50 Cal heavy assault rifle. It was a standard-issue combat robot that served as a cannon fodder most of the time and they were commanded under one hive mind. The hive mind was usually an A.I, in this case, it was Clarisse and Morgan.
"Now, I want you to strip yourself! Underwears included. Now!" Gerald shouted again and it was followed by an electric shock.
The POWs started to take off their armors and their clothes. Those who failed to comply got shocked by an electrical shock. Now, every sing POW was naked, both the male and the female. The female one started to cry while the male one started looking at tbe ground in shame.
The robots escorted them to the prison facility in the battlecruiser. They would be "reeducated" there as a means of creating more human troops. The robots bashed them with a rifle as if they were no more valuable than roaches. The naked POWs embarked on the battlecruiser and the robots would handle the rest.
"Don't worry, I've seen worse, " Laura said.
"And I've seen worse too, " Rosa said as all of them were observing the POWs that embarked the battlecruiser.
"I see, let's destroy this place. We need to send a clear message that the republic is a threat for both the Conservatives and the Radicals, " Gerald said as they embarked into the battlecruiser.
They took a lift to the cockpit. The cockpit was far bigger than the cockpit in the corvette. It also accommodates more than three pilots, but the chair that showed up was only 3. All of them sat down on the chair of the spaceship and started the usual procedure of starting up.

"Ok, let's blow the palace up, " Gerald said as he moved the stick of the ship.
