The fifth regiment commander immediately became tense. Now only did he remember the bet which he absolutely cannot pay.

Sam looked at the Deputy general as if asking him to deal with the situation.

After some serious discussion and negotiations, Sam finally left the regiment with a scroll.

The scroll was the indication of the debt the fifth regiment owed Sam. It has Deputy general as the guarantor.

The deed is signed with the blood and the spiritual energy signature. If within the time, they didn't pay the debt, Sam could take the deed to the higher authorities. In this case, to the Duke and even the superiors in the imperial capital.

After Sam left, the fifth regiment commander assembled all the soldiers, who are clearly dejected and lost all the confidence and issued an order.

"All the news has to be sealed. Don't say a word about what happened due to Sam's visit to any person outside of the regiment."

Even if he didn't give the order, the soldiers didn't have guts or face to share the news to other regiments.

Next day.

The remaining four regiment commanders asked the fifth regiment commander about what happened the day before.

Even though, the soldiers didn't leak the news, many people in the base saw that Sam along with the Deputy General made his way towards the fifth regiment.

But they didn't get any reply and only had their questions shunned. They became more curious by these actions. But the thing is they didn't have to wait for long to know what happened, well for at least one of them.

Because, someone saw that Sam made his way to the fourth regiment with the deputy general in tow.

The same actions repeated again that day and by the time Sam left, he has scroll in his hand and there is a huge signature of his on an arena stage of the fourth regiment.

This time the three remaining regiment commanders became perplexed. They knew that something is happening but they didn't know what is happening exactly. The two regiment commanders who kept their mouth shut didn't say a thing.

Since, all of them are in this together, let us suffer together. That is the only thought in their minds.

Among them Jian is the one who is most curious as well as anxious. The rest of the people only messed with Sam because they don't want to be in bad books of general.

But he messed with Sam with the intention of getting in the good books of the general. He wants to become a dog under the General at Sam's expense, but the situation seemed to change.

So, the second day, went to the camp of the Thunder wolf squad to meet the general, but his efforts are futile.

Many people didn't respect or admire the general because, he didn't focus much on the army. The only thing he focussed on is his students who formed the Thunder wolf squad.

He would always stay with them, even the residences of the thunder wolf squad outside the camp are within his estate.

And the thunder wolf squad is the special place in the camp. Either for their abilities or due to the general's backing, even the door guards and errand boys are arrogant beyond belief.

So, Jian didn't get to meet the General to explain the situation.

Meanwhile, Sam's conquest went on.

On the fifth day, Sam is standing in the first regiment facing Jian who is fully infuriated. He is the one who pissed off Sam more and even deducted most points. So, the retaliation is also more.

In other camps Sam only battled a battalion at most, but here, he made a move on all Novices. From early morning to the night, he stayed the first regiment, battling one squad after other. Hundreds of battles.

But every battle was finished as soon as it started with an energy cell explosion. The squads were crippled. They don't even have much means to retaliate. And Sam marked each battalions place with a brand.

The whole regiment was dejected.

This time he didn't even bother to keep a wager. Because, crippling the whole first regiment was more than enough to vent his frustration.

Even after this much turmoil and mess, people from the thunder wolf squad is oblivious it and that includes the general too.

Sam felt that this general is one of the worst ones he has seen in both lives.

This guy didn't even care about the military and didn't even listen to the pleas and news that Jian brought to him. All his disciples are too arrogant to even pass the news.

For the first three visits at least, Jian didn't know what is happening but after his regiment was completely destroyed, he made his way to the thunder wolf squad the same night.

This time though, he didn't request anyone to pass his message.

"General Spark, come out now."

He shouted at the gate from the top of his lungs.

His eyes are red with fury. If not for following this general's orders, this wouldn't happen. If he didn't get his regiment ready to dispatch within next three months, he would have to face some serious consequences.

Then even this general can't save his ass.

As for taking revenge on Sam directly, What a joke? If that is an option, does general even have to resort to these despicable means to oppress Sam.

Jian is quite shrewd and he could see that Sam cannot be touched directly or they would face consequences. So, he came here to rant on the General.

When the members in the thunder wolf squad heard this shout, they were completely surprised. They didn't expect that someone would come at this time and shout out for the general directly.

General Spark himself was quite surprised because, he knew who this voice belonged to. So, he came out and walked towards the entrance of the camp.

All this while he has a frown on his face as he looked at the Regiment commander with a serious expression.

If there is no suitable explanation there would be hell to pay.

"Jian, what do you want? Didn't I tell you to not disturb me when I am in the thunder wolf squad? You are disturbing out training."

When Jian heard these words, he was even more infuriated. Both the general and deputy general are eccentric people.

The General is so self-centred that he doesn't care about anything other than his position, his disciples and their training.

And General is also someone who is used to abusing the authority, so he didn't let the deputy general take charge of the duties regarding the welfare of the army.

In the whole army, there is not a single person who has admiration and respect for the general, all they have is fear, which the general felt that it is sufficient for running the army.

So, deputy general didn't bother about things as long as they are within the rules. And Sam knowingly or unknowingly too advantage of these two things and made such a mess in the base.

"General Spark. I think it is about you understand that you are not only responsible for the thunder wolf squad but also the whole army."

The General immediately became angry. Even his disciples are staring the Jian with hostility.

"Jian, you better mind your words."

"General Spark, with all due respect. I followed your orders along with the remaining regiment commanders and oppressed Sam going against all the professional ethics.

But because of that, Sam destroyed the Novices of every single regiment. Now, not a single Novice has a will and courage of a soldier.

The Novices who are the core of the army are mentally destroyed. Five regiments are literally crippled because of your stupid decision.

And when I tried to reach out to you, your stupid disciples didn't even give you my message.

If you are not capable, please step down that position. Or else you better clean up this mess and take responsibility of the circumstances."

Jian was fully angry and he dared to say these words because of two reasons.

One of them is that they are truth and the second one is that the General cannot kill him now, because he would have to give an explanation to duke himself. Jian took some measures so that if he was really killed here, people would report to the deputy general and the duke.

Jian didn't stay there and left without saying anything else.

General Spark frowned as he wanted to make sense of the situation. So, he sent some of his disciples to the Regiment commanders to ask what happened, but after an hour they returned with no news.

"They don't want to say anything and said that we have no right to question them."

General's expression immediately grew serious. This is the first time; the general's disciples were rejected.

He thought for a moment about what changed and he himself made move to make sense of the situation. Which made even the boot licker Jian to spout such words.

So, he went directly to the Deputy General's quarters and asked.

"What happened to the regiment commanders?"

"Nothing."

"What do you mean by nothing? If nothing happened then why would Jian come looking for me?"

"Nothing happened to the regiment commanders. Nobody broke the rules and everything went according to the system."

General spark swallowed his anger and asked.

"Report the daily proceedings for the past week." He ordered like a superior he is.

Deputy General stood in attention as he recounted everything.

The General was frowning deeper and deeper as he heard and by the end of it, he is fuming mad.

"Why didn't you stop him, when he is making so much mess?"

"General Spark, you are the one who said that taking care of the army is your role and I should take it up on myself and follow the rules. You even said that it is not my place to look after the army when you are still the general. So, I only followed the rules and your words."

General didn't know what to say. Because, he is the one who said those words, because Deputy General who used to be a Peak stage Grand realm cultivator was so compassionate towards the soldiers and he himself didn't want to look like a bad leader in comparison.

So, he suppressed the latter with his authority. Now, the same words bit him the butt.
