Green Monster Epic

Chapter 802: Means; Drill

“Do you have any objections?”

Allen glanced sideways, coldly surveying the legendary figures such as the gnolls and jackalmen standing before him.

“No, we willingly accept the punishment!”

Even if they harbored dissatisfaction towards Allen's outstretched hand, as legendary powerhouses, they directly told Aaron and the others that the demigod before them, with an aura like a erupting volcano, was waiting for them to object and rebel, then kill the chicken to scare the monkey!

A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. They were indeed at fault first, and since they had been caught red-handed, they had to submit. It was just being whipped two hundred times; with their legendary bodies, they could easily get away with it.

“Very good!”

A cold smile appeared on Allen's lips, and then he continued: “Then please remove your armor now!”

“Ah?”

“Your Excellency, in front of so many warriors…”

Aaron, Ocong and the others' expressions changed drastically, and the aura of legendary powerhouses surged within their bodies, seemingly ready to move.

“It is precisely in front of all the soldiers that you, these generals and commanders, will be seen receiving punishment, so that they understand the consequences of not abiding by the military laws and regulations!!”

If it weren't for the fact that each of these generals had some background, it would have been difficult for Allen to take too heavy a hand. Otherwise, with his character, it would probably be more than just whipping, and he wouldn't let these guys get away with it.

“What? Are you not convinced?”

“… … Dare not!”

Aaron and the others' faces were uncertain, and anger, shame, and other emotions set off huge waves in their hearts, but after raising their heads and meeting Allen's cold, murderous eyes, those negative emotions dissipated in an instant, like winter snow meeting the scorching sun.

The huge gap in strength, just the aura that the other party now revealed, like a towering mountain that made people look up to, was enough for anyone's reason to carefully judge the consequences of contradicting the other party.

As for the family background and powerful tribes that they once took pride in, they may not be too afraid in the other party's eyes. At least everyone knows that even if they are humiliated or even severely crippled by the other party, I am afraid that they will not get too much support from the tribe, at most it will only cause animosity between the two tribes for nothing.

One by one, the proud legendary powerhouses, in front of countless soldiers below, slowly and unwillingly took off their gorgeous armor and put it into their respective dimensional equipment, until they exposed their somewhat bloated and deformed naked bodies.

“You guys do it!”

Allen turned his head and ordered to the dozen or so legendary powerhouses who had come with him.

A group of powerhouses who were originally watching the show with great interest were dumbfounded. The gloating and funny expressions on their faces were frozen all of a sudden, and then turned into an embarrassed look as if they had eaten something dirty.

Seeing that no one was willing to stand up voluntarily, the huge and burly ogre chieftain Nicol gritted his teeth and was the first to stand up. He couldn't let Allen lose face, even if he knew that being the first to stand up as an executioner at this time was very likely to be remembered by these legendary figures with backgrounds.

Then someone else stood up, it was Roger, the newly promoted legend of the Snowmi tribe, who directly took out a long whip from his dimension bag and stood in a row with the ogre coldly.

In the end, the members who performed the execution were still powerhouses from the Thorns Ring. The other powerhouses who followed had more or less scruples and did not dare to stand up.

“When you do it, don’t think about letting them off easy, otherwise I will punish you together!”

When the execution was about to begin, Allen did not forget to remind Roger and the others, exposing the small calculations in their hearts.

Pa pa pa! Pa pa pa!

The crisp sound of whips echoed in the air. Aaron and the other powerhouses, who were standing in the air with their upper bodies naked, were severely punished in front of tens of thousands of soldiers below.

The originally intact skin, with the continuous whipping of the long whip, began to show patches of crimson, dark green and other colors, and later the entire back was whipped with blood and flesh, which was very scary.

The expressions on the faces of several powerhouses were even more hideous and terrifying, and several times they almost fainted, but Allen used his murderous intent to stimulate their consciousness and wake them up again.

While being whipped, some people secretly cast a gloomy look at Allen, Nicol and others with their peripheral vision. Obviously, they had already remembered Allen and others in their hearts.

Although keen perception had already noticed the other party's eyes, Allen didn't care at all. It was already very difficult for the alliance to raise so many materials and manpower. If these wastes were allowed to train randomly, they would not be able to play much role in the end when they were sent to the battlefield, let alone relieve the siege of the orcs.

At first, there were occasional noisy sounds from the soldiers below, and some people in the sloppy queue were even joking with each other.

When the long whip above their heads began to wave, the legendary powerhouses who used to be high above and proud like a beautiful rooster were now so miserable and terrifying. Unconsciously, this chaotic ragtag army finally became silent, and the soldiers gradually consciously cleaned up all kinds of small movements and stood upright, and even the queue finally had some appearance.

When the last whip fell heavily, bringing up a splash of blood, Aaron, Ocong and the others, with pale faces, finally showed a relieved expression.

“Your Excellency, you have already punished what you should have punished, shouldn’t you allow us to go down and heal?”

Enduring the severe pain, Aaron gritted his teeth and asked Allen for instructions hatefully.

“I will not interfere with your command in terms of leading troops to fight, but in terms of training the army, after seeing your current performance, I really dare not entrust the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the coalition army to you!”

Allen waved his hand indifferently and directly took power from the other party.

“If you have any objections, you can protest to the alliance and let the city guard mansion issue an order.”

“From today onwards, including you, no one is allowed to leave the military camp without my permission. Anyone who dares to disobey will be dealt with by military law!”

“Get out!”

Aaron and the others were not in the mood to think about their own loss of face and being deprived of power. The most important thing at the moment was to quickly leave this place of right and wrong. Who knew if this newcomer, who had set a big fire, had other means next.

Being whipped two hundred times by an equal existence without any fancy moves, even if Aaron and the others were legendary powerhouses with strong and tough bodies, they couldn't bear it!

“All regimental commanders and above, stand out!”

Before Yalin and the others had gone far, Allen's roar came from behind again, and soon after, the crisp 'pleasant' sound of the leather whip began to ripple in the military camp, and at the same time, echoing it was a series of miserable wails and painful cries.

After a rectification, the entire military camp suddenly underwent a great change. Every day before dawn, the commanders and leaders of each regiment got up early and began to call on the soldiers below to exercise and drill.

The soldiers also put away their laziness and petty cleverness. No one dared to cause trouble anymore, because every day there were soldiers who were lazy or fighting and were dragged out to be dealt with.

The lucky ones would endure high-intensity physical training, losing half their lives in the process, only to continue training with their comrades the next day. The unlucky ones would be whipped to death, their corpses hung on straight flagpoles as a warning to others.

When dealing with those from decent military backgrounds, Allen could restrain himself somewhat, only taking half their lives at most. But when dealing with the common soldiers scraped together from various places, Allen would not easily let them off. Instead, he would use swift and decisive measures to intimidate them and quickly make them submit.

This wasn't entirely Allen bullying the weak and fearing the strong. He understood the ways of the wilderness. To make warriors of mixed races obey orders, bribery was ineffective. What worked best was strict, brutal, and iron-fisted methods.

He first used Aaron and the other unlucky legendary powerhouses as targets, severely punishing them in front of all the warriors. Although he didn't kill them, every morning they had to drag their injured bodies and train with the other warriors under Allen's cold and domineering gaze. This thoroughly established a majestic and terrifying image in the hearts of the Allied soldiers.

Even the legendary powerhouses who came south with Allen couldn't escape the training. Every day, they carried exaggerated loads and ran back and forth next to the warriors'队伍, giving the ordinary soldiers who rarely saw legendary powerhouses a spectacle while also giving them a sense of psychological balance.

Even legendary powerhouses with deep backgrounds and formidable strength had to train like them. If they weren't careful, they would be greeted by a whip or stick sent from afar by a demigod powerhouse. If cannon fodder like them didn't work harder, they would be hung up as flagpoles, and they couldn't blame anyone else.

The alliance troops who arrived later were initially confused. During their few days of rest in the military camp adjacent to the vanguard legion, they secretly watched with schadenfreude. But when they saw warriors being dragged out for various reasons, whipped as punishment, and then whipped to death and erected as flagpoles, these newcomers could no longer laugh.

Regardless of their race, as long as they possessed basic intelligence and a fear of death, they would mostly succumb to Allen's high-pressure and terrifying methods.

After Allen took over the army training for just over half a month, the morale of the entire army underwent a great change. Even Aaron, Ao Cong, and others who had previously complained about Allen's punishment had to admit that this demigod lord had exceptional skills in training the army and intimidating people.

Of course, in addition to strict training, Allen also adjusted everyone's tense nerves. For example, in daily meals, he generously ordered the logistics department to provide unlimited supplies of various delicious dishes and staple foods. As long as the soldiers in the army could eat it and it didn't affect their training, he would let them eat as much as they wanted.

The vast majority of the warriors here were conscripted by the alliance members from their subordinate vassal tribes. Many tribes lived in hardship, and it was rare to have a delicious meal. But now, the military camp provided different delicacies for three meals a day, allowing everyone to enjoy them. This somewhat resolved the warriors' resentment and resistance to the harsh training.

At the same time, Allen deliberately required each brigade in the legion to use unsharpened, dye-coated weapons to conduct a competition between teams every once in a while.

The winners would receive certain rewards, such as a day off, a low-level magic dish, a dozen healing potions, and other small prizes. The losers would not only be ridiculed by other teams, but also be subjected to various punishments.

Although the competition was also a kind of training, it was much more interesting than the boring queue rectification and basic tactical coordination. Moreover, everyone could take this opportunity to resolve the conflicts that arose in private without worrying about being punished, which was also a different kind of relaxation.

Seeing the legion's combat effectiveness improve visibly every day, Aaron, Ao Cong, and other commanders gradually developed more respect and admiration for Allen.

As generals from large clans who had been trained to lead and command armies since childhood, how could they not know the importance of the quality of their soldiers!

It's just that the internal environment of the newly formed alliance legion was complex, and the tribal leaders were particularly concerned about the power in their hands. Even though the commanders Aaron, Ao Cong, and others had super-large clan backgrounds and were themselves legendary powerhouses, they had attempted to reorganize the army during the journey, but the final result was obviously unsuccessful.

It wasn't until the arrival of Allen, this demigod lord, that he established absolute prestige in the legion, gradually uniting this huge rabble and giving it the rudiments of an army.

From the distant fortress, Ahmad, the legendary general of the Centaur Dahan Khanate, had been paying attention to the situation of the alliance army outside the city and had witnessed the changes in this army, and couldn't help but sigh.

"As expected, its great reputation does not disappoint!"

"It's a pity that this person is not a descendant of my Centaur clan. Otherwise, with someone like him assisting the Khan, the Khanate would surely prosper and develop!"

Standing on the city wall, listening to the ups and downs of the warriors' shouts in the military camp outside the city, and the army queues hidden in the military tents, Ahmad sincerely expressed his admiration.

"Yes, this person's great methods and abilities are indeed admirable!"

The generals of the other two Khanates had also recently arrived at Fort Toulon with their men and horses. However, the Centaur clan's army construction differed greatly from that of ordinary wilderness tribes. Therefore, they had not yet joined the increasingly large army and remained independent from the wilderness alliance army.

However, the commanders and generals often entered Fort Toulon to discuss and plan with the rulers of the fortress, such as Ahmad, and kept an eye on the situation of the wilderness alliance army outside the city.

"But their current training seems a bit late. We can't wait until their legion truly has combat effectiveness before taking action, right?"

"Our human spies have reported that the Rose Duchy, which is closest to us, has begun to take action, recruiting nobles on a large scale and seeking assistance from surrounding kingdoms!"

"If we don't act again, the human army we will face may no longer be the current 150,000 border guards, but at least twice the current scale of the human army, or even more."

"Yes, it's time to visit this lord again!"

Ahmad and the other Centaur generals reached a consensus and slowly walked down the city wall.
