When Gu Hang raised his second finger and proposed his second condition, Matins was already numb.
Even the kind of oath that he had just taken, chanting along with the Priest of the battle group, what other condition could there be that he couldn't agree to?
And indeed, the second condition that followed, along with the third condition that came closely after, didn't seem too demanding—not from their post-oath perspective.
Gu Hang's second condition was that the battle group must unconditionally obey all of his orders.
No problem, obedience is obedience, what else does pledging loyalty mean?
However, it was the third condition that gave them some worry.
This condition stated that all future new members of the Phoenix Battle Group, from recruitment to training, would be handled solely by Gu Hang.
