"Commander, you are right to reprimand me. The attack and capture of the Checkpoint Fortresses were the result of my dereliction of duty!"
Senior Colonel Brain raised his head, straightened his body, and began to admit his fault.
What else could he do but admit his fault? Since the Commander had spoken this way, it was clear that he was giving Brain an opportunity to step down gracefully.
"I ask the Commander to punish me. I have no complaints!"
Commander William snorted coldly. "Hmph! Punishment? What good would punishing you do now?"
"And you say you have no complaints? If you dare to voice even a single complaint, I'll shoot you right now!"
As he spoke, Commander William sat down in his seat.
"Even if the Commander wants to shoot me, I have nothing to say. There's no need for the Commander to do it himself. I can do it myself."
"Tylan, look at this. The man you brought up really knows how to take advantage of an opportunity. Tell me, should I shoot him or not?"
