<h4>Chapter 1730: Chapter 1371: Rumus Is Utterly Disappointed</h4>


    Keru was sent by the suprememander, so he wasn’t worried Rumus would do anything to him.


    "Put your guns down," Keru shouted, "I was sent by the suprememander to take Rumus back. You are soldiers of the state, you should know what you’re doing. You serve the country, not an individual."


    Keru spoke with righteous indignation.


    "I don’t care who you represent. If you dare to touch ourmander, I promise you’ll be lying here," one of them said fiercely to Keru.


    Only then did Keru begin to frown; he hadn’t expected Rumus’s subordinates to be so loyal.


    "Correct, anyone who dares to touch themander, I’ll fight you to the death."


    "Fight him to the death."


    The people around all looked at Keru menacingly.


    Keru felt a bit anxious inside but forced himself to remain calm. He looked at Rumus and sneered coldly, "You’re forming factions, do you know the consequences?"


    "Leave now, don’t interfere with me," Rumus said bluntly.


    "Hmph, telling me to leave, it’s not that simple. I’m here on orders from the suprememander, my mission is to bring you back. Guards, take him down," Keru said very sternly.


    The guards around Keru received the order, clicked their guns off safety, and prepared to capture Rumus.


    Rumus’s men stood in front and surrounded Keru and his group.


    "Anyone who dares to obstruct, execute them on the spot," Keru said very severely.


    At this time, **** and the rebel army were fighting fiercely. Keru, although he did not know Rumus’s purpose here, creating some trouble for him, or causing internal strife here, would be advantageous for the rebel army.


    "Don’t move! Don’t move!"


    Both sides pointed guns at each other, and the atmosphere was tense. If someone fired a shot now, the situation could instantly spiral out of control.


    "Stop!" Rumus quickly shouted and walked to the front, first letting his men lower their guns.


    "I’ll go back with you," Rumus yielded.


    After all, these were soldiers of the state; he didn’t want to see a civil war. Especially if a civil war broke out now, it would beughable to outsiders.


    "Commander..."


    Many people around Rumus couldn’t help but call out.


    Rumus had great prestige within his troops, often dining in the mess hall and frequentlymunicating with the soldiers.


    This led to the soldiers having a personal admiration for theirmander. Therefore, when crucial moments came, they ignored other rules and stood firmly by Rumus.


    "You don’t need to say anything. In my absence, the deputymander takes over as chiefmander," Rumus finished speaking and called the deputy to the side to discuss some matters.


    Keru wore a smug expression, confident that with Rumus not there, the troops would be without a leader, regardless of their intentions, it would all be in vain.


    Rumus calmly walked over and directly headed downward.


    Keru also smiled and led his guardpany to follow down.


    Upon reaching below, Rumus directly got into a car.


    Keru boarded another vehicle, and the group headed grandly towards the headquarters.


    Just as Rumus had left not long ago, many rebel troops suddenly appeared from behind Luang Feng Mountain for unknown reasons.


    These rebel troops were stealthily approaching. Meanwhile, **** was wildly charging forward,pletely unaware of the rebel troops’ appearance behind.


    Keru brought Rumus to the headquarters. Internally, everyone was rxed and joyful.


    Though the battle between **** and the rebel army was ongoing, they didn’t feel much tension here.


    When Rumus walked in, everyone immediately stared at him, openly showing disdain in their eyes.


    Some even startedughing and said, "Rumus, you’re quite unique. If you decide to go to battle, why then cower at the back? Do you know this is called desertion?"


    "Haha, not scared enough to wet your pants, are you?"


    "Your reports imed catching so many rebels, eliminating rebel bases, are they all lies?"


    The othermanders spared no effort to mock Rumus.


    At this time, Keru entered and stood in front of the suprememander to report, "Commander, I met with resistance earlier."


    Currently, the suprememander also had grievances against Rumus; he dared not answer his calls, outright defying authority.


    "What do you mean by resistance?" The suprememander turned his head to look at Keru.


    Keru proceeded to recount the event, with some exaggeration included.


    After hearing, the suprememander’s face became increasingly grim. He coldly stared at Rumus and said, "Are you promoting personal worship in the army? Ignoring orders from superiors, exin yourself now."


    Rumus stood there quietly, his face expressionless, thoroughly disappointed with the people before him.


    The individuals before only knew how to tter and bully the weak while fearing the strong. Faced with these people in the military, there was only resignation for Rumus.


    Though he holds a high position as the districtmander, he couldn’t change the current situation.


    "There’s nothing to exin," Rumus said bluntly.


    He was exhausted and didn’t want to say more.


    Everyone was momentarily stunned by Rumus’s attitude, but quicklyughed, having seen the furious expression on the suprememander’s face.


    The suprememander suddenly mmed the table, pointed at Rumus, and stood up, "You must give me an exnation, why are the main forces charging forward while you hide behind? If you don’t exin, I’ll remove you for desertion."


    The suprememander was truly angry, he’d never encountered such a brazen subordinate.


    Rumus remained silent and eventually stood there, closing his eyes,pletely indifferent.


    The surroundingmanders also changed their expressions, surprised at the suprememander’sck of discretion, considering Rumus had previously been a major contributor inbating rebels and terrorists.


    "Someone, take Rumus down," the suprememander finally couldn’t hold back and shouted.


    Two individuals came over and directly dismantled Rumus’s things.


    Rumus did not resist, knowing all resistance was futile now.


    This time, he believed Xiang Yu’s words, that his brothers should continue to stand firm there. He didn’t know why, but he felt Xiang Yu was right.


    "Tie him up," the suprememander said angrily.


    Just as two soldiers restrained Rumus in the chair, someone suddenly reported: "Commander, something seems unusual on the battlefield, some unidentified objects are approaching our soldiers."


    "What objects?" the suprememander said angrily.


    He was dissatisfied with Rumus’s current expression and nned to remove Rumus from hismand after today...
