Chapter 46 - 45 Soldier Conference
Cross’s angry appearance was like a ferocious wolf, sending a shiver through Maximus’s heart, but with the dozens of eyes from the Medical Team watching him, as the captain, he couldn’t back down! So after swiftly dodging the fist from the opponent, he threw a punch back towards him.
This traitor dared to fight back! ... Cross’s fury grew even stronger, he turned his body to the side, pressed his right foot to the ground, and charged his entire body forward.
Maximus couldn’t evade in time and was knocked to the ground by the opponent, the two began scuffling on the ground...
Soon, a pair of strong hands pulled Cross, who was throwing punches, away, and Hamilcar helped Maximus, who had taken two punches, up.
Spartacus released Cross, sternly rebuking both of them loudly: "You two, as leaders of your respective teams, what can’t be discussed properly? Why must you brawl here like riffraff, is this how you set an example for the other brothers!"
"This traitor dared to detain my men from the battalion, why shouldn’t I beat him!" Cross remained furious, but did not strike again. He glared at Hamilcar and Antonix: "And you two, are helping him bully our Second Battalion!"
Hamilcar righteously replied, "The Guard detained a few soldiers from the Second Battalion because they intruded into the Medical Team’s camp, harassing women tending the wounded, causing chaos within the Medical Team. Detaining them was the Guard fulfilling its duty to safeguard the entire Supply Team!
Moreover, these soldiers not only attacked sisters within their own team causing chaos in the Medical Team, but one escaped the Guard’s pursuit, returned to the Second Battalion spreading rumors, and incited them to brawl with the Guard. If not for the timely intervention of the Third Battalion, it would’ve nearly triggered an internal conflict, so I request severe punishment for these soldiers!"
Cross was stunned for a moment, not expecting such a situation, but quickly retorted dissatisfiedly: "Hamilcar, you’re exaggerating, aren’t you? These brothers just wanted to relax with the Supply Team after intense military training, didn’t they always do that? Not just them, hasn’t anyone from your battalion done the same?"
