Jasper opened his mouth but could not utter a word. He was really surprised and could only nod.
There was no point in talking to the mercenaries about loyalty, as they did not care at all.
They only have currency for money!
He finally understood why Ethan had allowed Malcolm to tell their soldiers that they were going into a fierce battle with the Purple Moon Charge Army.
It was a tactic to filter out those who would run away in difficult times!
But many people will not pass this test.
If everyone had completely escaped and the Purple Moon Pay Army had come to attack, then it would be tantamount to Jasper digging his own grave.
He will be buried in no time!
But Ethan won't let that kind of thing happen, because he's in control of the situation.
At the same time, he controlled human nature.
Time kept going and more and more people decided to leave, but the number of people leaving started to decrease. The few remaining are those with greater determination, more principled and with a greater sense of responsibility.
Since they had received the payment, they had to stick to their master until the end, even if they might die in battle the next day.
After some time, the number finally stabilized in over a hundred people. Nearly two-thirds of the soldiers have fled!
That is, Jasper's previous hard work was just an illusion and meant nothing.
Jasper blames himself for that, but he also knows that Ethan gave him a chance to make a mistake and correct it. And she also knows that this will be the only chance Ethan will give her!
Meanwhile, the,
The Purple Moon Charge Army Campground.
Halen is excited. He was always in the best mood before the battle!
Five troops are ready to go. He would lead the men the next morning to trample on Jasper and his men.
He had trouble controlling himself.
The moaning sound of women in the room will arouse the passion of any man.
There was a very loud explosion outside and it was deafening.
Halen was shocked and trembled violently. He felt like a deflated balloon now and felt no more excitement.
He looked down but could not lift it anymore, and he became even more furious.
"What's going on?! What's going on?!" halen shouted as she pulled her pants and was about to come out to look when another explosion that destroyed the ground occurred.
Fire shoots through the sky!
This was exactly the hour when everyone was sound asleep. No one expected to be attacked secretly at night.
A terrifying explosion woke everyone up as flames burned through the entire campground and caused fear in their hearts.
"Ench the fire! Extinguish fire!"
"Who did this?! Catch 'em! Goddamnit!"
"Who did this?! Catch 'em!!"
Everyone was in an uproar and it was completely chaotic.
Some save others, some try to put out the fire, some try to find the culprit. They were disorganized and disorganized, making the entire encampment even more messy than before.
It took almost an hour to get the fire under control. They were all exhausted and sweating, but they still could not catch the culprit.
"Enhance alertness levels!"
"Team One, Three and Five, get some rest! Two and Four would take turns patrolling the place! If you find a suspicious person, arrest him and kill him on the spot!"
They had to fight in the morning, so even though they didn't think too much about Jasper's troops, they still had to save energy to fight.
Far from the camp.
Some men have been lying behind a motionless hill for a long time now.
"Who will light the second fire?" Brother Geoff's voice was soft, but everyone could hear it. "Number Eight, I remember you kind of like to light fireworks?"
