237, "Fabricated Charges" and the Era of Obsolete Firearms (Two in One)

With those words thrown out, the barracks fell silent.

A group of young military officers seemed not to have heard clearly or dared not believe.

Dismissed from their posts… expelled from the Capital Camp… all of them?

The crowd encircled Tang Ping, whose face froze as he said, "What did you say?"

"Didn't hear clearly?" At the doorway, the armor-clad and sword-bearing leader of the Military Law Department glanced at him, seemingly not recognizing his identity, and repeated himself.

That's right.

All dismissed from their posts, effective immediately, right now.

Boom.

Inside the room, the military officers felt as though thunder had struck them, stunned by the sudden calamity, and several immediately raised their voices in a challenge:

"On what grounds?"

The leader of the Military Law Department glanced at them and said,

"We are simply following orders, do not delay us, please."

His words seemed to bear the word "please," yet they were utterly devoid of feeling.
