Chapter 227: Chapter 225: Execution Without Education_1

Owen Bertram cursed to himself, the fellow had just slipped away, chasing a pretty white silver fish in the River Water.

Only when a Demon Beast was about to attack the Iron-Shell Battleship did he hastily rush back, even more furious than his Elder Brother: This ship, I am the one protecting it! You don’t give me face?

It had already bitten the Demon Beast underwater, which was but a mere second tier Beast.

Owen Bertram secretly warned it: "Drag it far away to eat, and don’t reveal any trace."

With a look of disdain, the fellow left dragging the second-tier Beast, not worth eating right now.

Owen Bertram turned and stared at Easton Lin: "Well?"

Easton Lin was at a loss for words, and after a moment, he forced himself to say: "You were just lucky; the Demon Beast inexplicably gave up."

Owen Bertram shook his head: "Fool, you still don’t know where you are wrong. You will never change."

Easton Lin was furious: "What do you have to be proud of? I will be stronger than you in the future!"

Owen Bertram laughed: "That’s the most ridiculous joke I’ve ever heard. I have been cultivating for less than a year, and my realm is higher than yours after a decade. I joined the Horizon Bureau less than half a year ago, and I am already a Lord Prescott. You are just a Chief Flag. As for my background, I am a mere commoner from Extinct Village, even lower than your impoverished background."

"You don’t even understand where you went wrong, and you need me to teach you - where does your confidence come from?"

Easton Lin simply didn’t listen and wanted to say something else, but Owen Bertram didn’t give him a chance. With a flick of his wrist, the Immortal Binding Rope swiftly wound around his neck: "People like you always have their reasons for being stubborn."

"I don’t want to convince you, because convincing you is teaching you, and you’ll take advantage of me. That’s unnecessary."

Owen Bertram beckoned to David: "The Horizon Bureau has its Precepts. Discuss the crimes this Fellow committed just now and what punishment he should receive."

David stepped forward, his voice like a loud bell, and his manner had a majesty similar to that of a law: "First: Disobeying orders! Behead!"

"Second: Cowardice in battle! Flog with thirty strokes!"

"Third: Disobeying a superior! Behead!"

"Fourth: Inciting internal strife! Behead!"

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow’s subordinates were greatly frightened, not expecting David to say "Behead!" three times in a row! They wanted to kill their own men, so they all looked to Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow, who had a cold face and absolutely refused to interfere with Owen Bertram’s disposal.

Easton Lin still wanted to struggle on the side, but the gap between him and the Immortal Binding Rope was too great. Despite his best efforts, he could not move at all. He could only spit flames from his eyes to show his defiance.

In fact, up to this point, he didn’t think Owen Bertram really dared to kill him, as he was, after all, a member of the Devin Clan.

Owen Bertram couldn’t be bothered to argue with Easton Lin and didn’t care if he would submit or not - Execute him!

"In that case, carry out the execution." He commanded indifferently.

David let out a sinister smile, and a battle knife appeared out of thin air behind him. He reached back and grabbed it, about to chop it down on Easton Lin’s neck!

Only then did Easton Lin realize that Owen Bertram was serious! He still didn’t understand where he went wrong and didn’t think it was a big deal and that he would lose his life because of it!

Those military officers under Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow knelt down with a thud, begging, "Lord Prescott, please spare his life!"

Owen Bertram’s face was like iron, and he pressed his lips together without saying a word.

Moreover, David did not hesitate at all, and with a single stroke, Easton Lin’s head flew off! Easton Lin’s head flew off in a whoosh, rolled in the air a few times, then thumped and fell on the deck, his eyes still wide open in disbelief. Only then did they slowly lose their luster, and up to his death, he never understood why...

The military officers who were kneeling on the ground, pleading for mercy, found it hard to accept. It was only when Easton Lin’s head hit the ground that they reacted, angrily shouting at David: "We have already begged you to spare his life; why didn’t you listen to our reasoning before killing him directly?"

David snorted coldly, disdainful: "I used to be one of the Six Close-body Tigers under the Commander of South Prison, Liam! Now, following Master Owen, I only obey Master Owen’s orders. Master Owen didn’t say stop, what use is it for you all to speak up?!"

Old Fisher’s face changed: "So it was one of Master Lane’s ’Six Close-body Tigers’; no wonder..."

Those military officers were left speechless. Owen Bertram quietly nodded in approval. David might have a bad temper and not be entirely submissive to him, but when it came to the big picture, he was steadfast.

Owen Bertram stepped forward with his hands behind his back, kicked Easton Lin’s headless corpse to the ground, and then turned to the military officers: "I do not want to waste words with a waste like Easton Lin, but I can say a few more words to you because you can still be saved."

"You think Easton Lin only liked to show off and that it was not a big crime. But he panicked in the face of the enemy and commanded randomly, causing panic in the entire team.

In my opinion, this is a great crime!

This time, there was no real enemy, so we were unharmed. But if we really encounter a powerful enemy, his actions would lead to the entire team’s collapse and be chased by the enemy one by one!"

Owen Bertram paused, giving the military officers time to think: "Such a person is a troublemaker. If we didn’t have an urgent mission, it wouldn’t be a problem to tolerate him. But he’s reckless, and the Casterly County mission is of great importance and extremely dangerous. I cannot risk jeopardizing everyone under my command because of his trouble!"

"Strict army management is meant to reduce losses during battle."

"Easton Lin lacks talent and is stubborn, kill him to prevent him from harming everyone with his foolish actions!"

A military officer couldn’t help but say: "But General Easton Lin is one of us. Aren’t you afraid of causing resentment between both sides by killing him?"

Owen Bertram sneered: "Look, Easton Lin’s previous instigation of both sides has taken effect!"

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow stepped forward with a cold expression and said, "Punish yourself with twenty slaps!"

The military officer trembled, and under her icy gaze, he slapped himself twenty times in succession until blood flowed from both corners of his mouth.

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow said coldly, "In this operation, Lord Owen will be in charge! The mission at Casterly County is tricky and dangerous. Any carelessness will lead to our doom! We need to work together and put aside all prejudices!"

"If anyone else talks about ’you’ or ’us,’ I will not spare them!"

"On this ship, everyone is part of Horizon Bureau and Lord Owen’s subordinates, understood?"

Her subordinates immediately shouted: "Understood!"

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow nodded slightly to Owen Bertram, who then stepped forward and said, "This operation is dangerous, but it also has opportunities. As long as the mission is done well, Vanessa and I will ensure that everyone has a satisfactory harvest."

With the previously tense atmosphere now relaxed, the military officers revealed their expectations.

Owen Bertram then waved his hand: "Everyone disperse, stay on guard, no slacking off!"

"Yes, sir!"
