Chapter 319: Chapter 319: No One Answers the Dawn

Speaking of Meng Yi, he was the Supervising Army Officer for the Eastern Army’s rear defense. His position couldn’t compare to that of a General, but for the rear defense, he was second only to the Generals.

He had also reached the rank of Great Craftsman at Level Eleven.

After all, he was responsible for the normal operation of the supply, armory, logistic, and fortification departments of the rear defense.

Even though it was a ceasefire period, the front-line soldiers were still stationed in place, and the rear needed to continue providing orderly supplies, so he patrolled and dealt with affairs every day.

But when he came to the armory today, he discovered that not a single person from Death Valley had reported for duty, a situation unprecedented in the past.

The Centurion of the armory quickly explained the strange occurrences at Death Valley in the past few days.

"Supervisor Meng, these days, the men from Death Valley have been very casual about reporting for duty, with dozens, sometimes hundreds, failing to show up. Today is the worst, with not a single one appearing. I was just about to write a report to inform you!"

"Are they planning to rebel?"

"Who knows what they are secretly plotting. Those ruddy men have long held grudges against us; it wouldn’t be strange if they harbored rebellious thoughts. And with seven or eight days left before the Man-eating Eagle emerges, it doesn’t make sense for all of them not to show up!"

Meng Yi frowned and immediately led his personal guards over.

He was determined to see what this group was really up to!

If he felt they were being supervised too loosely, he wouldn’t mind clapping them in irons in the future!

However, as an infuriated Meng Yi rushed to Death Valley, he was met by the Lame Man and others, carrying weapons and heading out.

Seeing this formation, the Centurion who came with Meng Yi couldn’t help but rebuke, "How dare you! Are you attempting a rebellion?"

It should be noted that to prevent the ruddy men from escaping, weapons were distributed only for battle. During this kind of ceasefire phase, all their weapons were supposed to be handed back.

Yet, unexpectedly, these fellows had been hoarding weapons, judging by the crossbows and spears they carried—clearly made in secret.

These hundreds of men appeared to be deaf, mute, and lame, but behind the scenes, they were so dishonest.

If we hadn’t arrived just in time, perhaps these people would have attempted to escape, huh?

"Supervising Army Officer, it’s a stroke of luck that your wise and brave decision enabled us to catch them in the act," the Centurion immediately raised his thumb in approval.

"?" Everyone was clueless.

Watching the Centurion continue to babble nonsense, the Lame Man said solemnly, "Supervisor Meng, Death Valley is in a moment of peril. If there is anything to discuss, let us address it after the danger has been averted. Afterwards, I will personally apologize to you."

"A joke! Should we wait for you to escape and then punish the crime? Do you think we’re fools?"

The Centurion, frowning and gesturing, commanded, "Men! Arrest these people who privately hoarded weapons and intended to escape. Drag them back for interrogation!"

At the Centurion’s order, the soldiers behind him remained motionless.

He turned back with confusion, only to see Meng Yi looking at him with an indifferent gaze, "Who’s the Supervising Army Officer here, you or me?"

"Ah... Naturally, it’s you." The Centurion instantly changed his expression and sheepishly apologized.

"It’s my fault. I was just anxious on your behalf. Alas, it was all my fault for overstepping suddenly. I ask that you see clearly, Supervising Army Officer."

Meng Yi waved his hand dismissively for the Centurion to be quiet and then turned to the Lame Man, "I am a reasonable person. If you can explain the origin of these weapons and what exactly you are up to today, I might consider being lenient."

It was a critical moment, and seeing these people stubbornly intercepting them, everyone was fuming with impatience.

Unable to take it, One-Armed spoke up, "If the Supervising Officer wants to know what happened, follow us. Just don’t be startled by what you see."
