Mechanical God Emperor

Chapter 297 – Purge

Translator: Xaiomoge

Other high-ranking officers of the bear fang corps followed Julio into the quarters. Smiles of contempt plastered on their faces, they stared at Yang Feng.

Jacob, the commander of the mad leopard corps, also came in. Hiccuping from being drunk, he gave Yang Feng a contemptuous look: “Ha-ha, I’m sorry, Marshal Ian. Yesterday, due to your imminent arrival, we got too excited and drank a bit, so we got up a little late. I’m really sorry.”

Lourenço, the commander of the cyan flame corps walked inside and said with an insincere smile: “Marshal Ian, I’m sorry, we had too much to drink.”

Mario, the commander of the 5-leaf clover corps smiled in disdain and said: “Marshal Ian, I hope that you’re fond of women. I know of 2 very nice women in the Jadeite House in the Burgas City. Let’s go there tonight and have fun!”

Novil, the commander of the green river corps, took out a wineskin and poured a glass of wine, then looked at Yang Feng provocatively and sneered: “Marshal Ian, if you have respect for us uncouth fellows, have a toast with us!!”

Balas, the commander of the flaming river corps jeered loudly: “Right!! Marshal Ian, if you have respect for us, have a toast with us.”

“A toast!”

“A toast!”

“...”

Suddenly, there was chaos in the quarters, and uniform voices echoed. The high-ranking officers of the 6 corps jeered together, casting looks of contempt at Yang Feng.

The high-ranking officers of the 6 corps joined forces to give Yang Feng a show of strength. If Yang Feng yielded, he, a mighty marshal, would no longer be able to unite the army.

Ennio, Duccio, Gian, and Giacomo remained silent, looking at Yang Feng, they wanted to see how he was going to handle this situation.

Depending on how Yang Feng handled this situation, Ennio and them would make a corresponding choice.

Yang Feng shot Julio a cold look and said indifferently: “Commander Julio, if you don’t reach the marshal quarters on time once the drums are sounded, how should you be dealt with according to the imperial military law?”

When he said that, a quiet and tense atmosphere suddenly shrouded the quarters.

Julio was a little stunned, then his eyes flashed with a vicious light, and he threatened fiercely: “According to the imperial military law, one should be beheaded. But law is nothing more than a social construct. We were celebrating your arrival, so we drank a bit too much, Sir Marshal. Besides, there are so many people here who have violated this military law. Will you kill us all, Sir Marshal?”

The eyes of the high-ranking officers of the 6 corps flickered with vicious light, and formidable qi above the Knight rank gushed out of them.

Extremely cold killing intent locked onto Yang Feng sitting on the seat of honor.

Laughing, Jacob mediated: “Ha-ha, no need to panic. I think Marshal Ian just wanted to take us down a peg. Let bygones be bygones! Ha-ha!!”

A cold look in his eyes, Yang Feng clapped his hands: “In my capacity as the imperial marshal, I order you to lay down your arms. Your families won’t be harmed. Otherwise, according to the imperial law, you will all be charged with rebellion and your families will get implicated.”

500 warriors holding military crossbows and 500 warriors holding swords rushed over and surrounded the high-ranking officers of the 6 corps.

Feeling that things weren’t going well, the eyes of the high-ranking officers of the 6 corps glimmered with fear.

Julio’s eyes flickered fiercely, and he burst out with Sky Knight rank qi, bellowing: “Brothers, let’s kill our way out oh here! Afterwards, we’ll seek refuge with His Highness André!”

Yang Feng frowned and ordered coldly: “Kill them!”

In an instant, a rain of bolts covered the high-ranking officers of the 6 corps.

The special military crossbows of the Morrince Empire were so formidable that even Knights clad in heavy armor could be run through, let alone the high-ranking officers of the 6 corps who came here without donning armor. More than half of them were run through by the bolts and killed on the spot.

The remaining high-ranking officers of the 6 corps urged their qi and frantically struck the bolts, sending them flying away.

The eyes of Jacob, who had been smiling, flashed with a fierce glint, and he bellowed. He erupted with Star Knight rank qi, then his figure blurred, and he frantically lunged at Yang Feng. Only by capturing Yang Feng could they have a glimmer of hope at survival.

Just then, the Lightning Sacred Swordsman Cassius standing still beside Yang Feng stepped forward. With a thrust of his sword, brilliant lightning suddenly struck Jacob’s sword.

Ding! Following a crisp sound, Jacob’s sword broke and he was sliced in two.

A blood-thirsty glint flashed past the eyes of the Raging Waves Sacred Swordsman Lucero, and, as if a sea of raging waves, he suddenly slashed at Julio

Julio’s complexion changed dramatically and he raised his sword to block in front of him.

Ding! Following a crisp sound, Julio was sliced in twine by Sacred Swordsman Lucero’s strike, blood spraying everywhere, dying on the spot.

Lightning Sacred Swordsman Cassius and Raging Waves Sacred Swordsman Lucero went all out. Wherever their sword rays passed, high-ranking officers of the 6 corps were sliced in twine, unable to withstand a blow.

The smell of blood pervaded the quarters.

Within the quarters, shocked, the high-ranking officers watched Yang Feng sitting in the seat of honor with a look of fear in their eyes.

It didn’t took long for the high-ranking officers of the 6 corps within the quarters to be massacred.

Yang Feng said lightly: “Andro!”

Andro immediately stepped forward and responded deferentially: “Sir Marshal, your subordinate is listening.”

Yang Feng said coldly: “These people dared to resist arrest. Immediately draw up a list and send it back to the military department, declare them as rebels!”

Andro replied respectfully: “Yes! Sir Marshal!”

The high-ranking officers of the 4 main corps were even more frightened when they heard that.

Once the high-ranking officers of the 6 corps were identified as rebels, their family members would be reduced to slaves, without any chance to turn their fates around.

Ennio, Duccio, Gian, and Giacomo looked at each other with fear in their eyes. They already guessed that Yang Feng would organize a show of strength, yet little did they know how fierce it would be.

The massacre of the high-ranking officers of the 6 corps meant that the strength of the 120,000 troops would suffer greatly. Ennio, Duccio, Gian, and Giacomo didn’t expect Yang Feng to be so heavy-handed toward the 6 corps with André looming over him.

Yang Feng smiled gently at the high-ranking officers of the 4 corps and said: “You needn’t worry, I am still a very reasonable person. If you do not violate my orders, then such unpleasant things won’t happen a second time.”

Ennio said loudly at once: “We will never violate your orders, Sir Marshal!”

“We will never violate your orders, Sir Marshal!” Uniform yet somewhat fearful voices echoed in the quarters.

Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction. Although they might not have submitted to him in heart and mind, but they were unlikely to disobey his orders.

After taking care of the high-ranking of the 6 corps, Yang Feng immediately took his directly subordinated 100,000 troops to separate and surround the 6 corps.

Leaderless, the 6 corps were taken over by Yang Feng without any resistance. He captured the confidants of the high-ranking officers of the 6 corps and sent them to the St. Tulan City.

When the Wizards of the 6 corps witnessed Yang Feng’s methods, they chose to acquiesce in Yang Feng’s actions. After all, as the imperial marshal, Yang Feng had the power to control all troops.

Yang Feng carried a purge in the 6 corps, then transferred some troops from the the imperial guards and city guards to the 6 corps to augment them.

Before long, the 6 corps were under Yang Feng’s control.

Of course, because a large number of high-ranking officers were purged, the fighting strength of the 6 corps fell sharply and morale plummeted.

After purging the 6 corps, Yang Feng didn’t rush to the Tandoo Province, but gathered all his troops in the Burgas City and began military training, drilling his directly subordinated 100,000 troops as well as the 120,000 troops of the 6 corps day and night.

In front of the Newton City.

300,000 troops firmly surrounded the Newton City. When André killed his way over from the Gahelid Province, he was only accompanied by 100,000 frontier troops. However, along the way, he recruited the defeated troops, and his army swelled up to 300,000 troops. Besides, the 300,000 troops were basically field troops or local troops and had substantial fighting prowess.

A document in hand, André creased his eyebrows tightly, and then sighed slowly: “How cruel! He killed so many high-ranking officers, how cruel!”

Anzolev’s eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said solemnly: “Yes, he is very fierce. It seems that we underestimated him. Like this, the 6 corps have truly fallen under his control. Although the battle prowess of the 6 corps fell by a lot due to the purge. However, if he is given a few months’ time, we’ll be facing a formidable monster that has been completely integrated. Your Highness, it’s time to make up your mind! We can’t give him time!”

André contemplated for a long time, pacing about in the room. Finally, his eyes flashed with a fierce glint, and he gritted his teeth, saying: “Alright! Anzolev, contact them! Tell them that I agree to their conditions!”

Anzolev lowered his head slightly, a look of joy deep in his eyes: “Yes, Your Highness!”
