Chapter 764: Provoking the Beast! But Who's the Real Beast?
Dissent rippled through the ranks of the Desolation Corps.
"We serve at the command of our officers, and here stands the Adjutant, defiant of orders, acting on personal whims, a clear breach of military law. Harsh punishment is warranted," the towering silver-skinned elephant demon spoke with a chilling calm. His skin gleamed like polished silver, his nose elongated even in human form, and his eyes bore a sinister glint.
This statement rendered even the Colonel speechless. Had she not been harsh in her discipline? She had, after all, snapped the neck of Moon Fairy.
In any other case, the body would have dropped into the Soul Refining Cauldron and fried up like chicken. Yet, Moon Fairy was unscathed! What more could she do? Kill him again?
Aware of the growing discontent within the ranks, the Colonel knew mishandling the situation could undermine her authority.
Authority was everything to a commander. Without it, no one would lay down their lives for her. She was exasperated! However, she didn't expect that little fox would step out all of a sudden!
"Silence!" Moon Fairy's command echoed past the Colonel, reaching the throng of still ferocious, beastly demons, transformed in shape but not in nature. His shout actually shut them up.
Everyone froze. How dare this lowly fox, who had risen to the position of adjutant by less savory means, challenge them?
The silence that followed was profound.
