However, the conscription effort in Revodan ran into a little problem…
"My lord! Mercy!" The leader of the conscription team—[Sergeant Peter]—flung himself down, trying to kiss Winters' boots: "I had no choice! I didn't want to leave the city to raid for grain. But my son and wife are in Revodan, and if I disobey military orders, my whole family will be punished! Please show some compassion…"
Peter had his arms tied behind his back and was bound together with four other people, clearly unable to move.
But the sight of the "bandits' leader" approaching, the intense will to live made him drag the four people, still almost rushing in front of Winters' horse.
It was Pierre's saber that quieted Sergeant Peter.
"Take another step forward." Pierre, his face covered, looked at the sergeant coldly. The second half of his sentence went unspoken, but the blade said it for him.
Sergeant Peter lay on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, and so did the other Revodan soldiers.
