Chương 258: Execute them all

All of the villagers were stunned.

They had thought that the army had been defeated. The deputies were all wetting themselves after the battle. Little did they expect that the army would take advantage of the situation when they saw Fang Zhengzhi drop his sword.

The villagers simply could not understand.

However, Fang Zhengzhi understood. This was a last ditch attempt by the deputies. If he did not die, they would still be dealt with harshly by the military even if they lived.

Furthermore, soldiers lived and died by the orders they got.

Even though they were afraid of Fang Zhengzhi, they had to respect and obey the orders of their superiors. Soldiers still launched their spears.

Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi had killed many of their comrades. These were their brothers in arms, people that they had a real connection with.

After all, they had shared a camp for many years.
