Next to the furious Garrison Deputy Commander stood a tall, slender warrior with the lean muscular body of an athlete. He was known as Wǔ Qiáng Jié. He was a strong heroic, brave upright warrior. Wǔ Qiáng Jié was quick to help any of his warrior brothers who were in need. All the warriors of the Garrison admired Wǔ Qiáng Jié and looked up to him.

T/N: Wǔ Qiáng Jié is of no relations to Wǔ Gāng Huā the First Lady of Wang Royal Manor. Wǔ Gāng Huā surname is (舞 - Wǔ): to dance, to wield, to brandish. Wǔ Qiáng Jié surname is (武 -Wǔ): martial, military. These are two different Wǔ Surnames.

However, although thirty-four years old, he had yet to marry. He had focused all is attention on training and on his orphaned nephew, who he single-handedly raised from the age of four. He strongly loved his nephew very much. His nephew reminded him so strongly of his late brother, who was his twin brother.

However, in their passion, none of the warriors noticed the tears in Wǔ Qiáng Jié's eyes as he watched his nephew every move. His eyes were never far from his nephew, so he had known that something was wrong with his nephew for the past few weeks. However, he had waited for his nephew to come to him.

As he watched his nephew, he saw that his nephew was watching his friend Li Féng Gèn. The friend of his nephew Li Féng Gèn was terrified. He struggled to control his trembling body. Wǔ Qiáng Jié knew immediately that his nephew's friend did something wrong, and his nephew knew of it and never reported it.

Wǔ Qiáng Jié felt utter despair as he watched his tormented grief-stricken nephew. He knew for sure that as he waited for his nephew to come to him these past weeks, time had unexpectedly run out.

The Dark Blood Commander turned towards the Truth Tellers who had come in while the Garrison Commander was being kicked and stomped to death and said, "Begin."

Seeing how furious and ashamed, the Garrison Warriors felt Wang Fèn Yǒng finally spoke, "All Dark Blood, Shā Qì, and Gòu Army Warriors fall back. Any warriors found guilt will be given to the Garrison Warriors to be punished with death." The Garrison Warriors felt ashamed yet very grateful. As the Dark Blood, Shā Qì, and Gòu Army Warriors retreated several paces. The Garrison Warriors bowed to Wang Fèn Yǒng in gratitude. They all knew that Wang Fèn Yǒng was giving them a chance to wash away their shame.

The Truth Tellers quickly and efficiently began to question each warrior. The Truth Tellers went through more than seventeen thousand warriors. Although over seven hundred servants were found guilty and promptly put to death, not one warrior was yet to be found guilty. However, just when the warriors thought maybe they could get through this event with no warriors being found guilty. The first Warrior was found guilty. It kindled the wrath of the warriors so greatly they all rush forward and quickly beat the guilty warrior to death.

Although the disguised emperor was displeased with the traitors found in the Leandore Garrison, the massive difference between the Garrison of Leandore and the Josper garrisons pleased him. The trail of blood the Emperor left behind him at the Josper Garrisons had distressed and troubled his heart greatly. In some of the Josper Garrisons, almost half the warriors were punished with death. So seeing so few guilty in the Leandore Garrison greatly pleased him the Emperor.

Seven other guilty warriors saw what their punishment would be upon being convicted. So they decided not to wait around for the Truth Tellers to come to them. One after another, they quickly drew their swords and ran themselves though with their own swords before the Garrison warriors could stop them or get to them to beat them to death. This only made the Garrison Warriors even more furious. Although these cowardly warriors ran away, leaving their lives behind, the Garrison Warriors felt all the traitors deserved to be more heavily punished before they died.

The Truth Tellers continued questioning the warriors one by one. However, slowly, the atmosphere in the area where the warriors were assembled begin to change when Wǔ Qiáng Jié was questioned. Wǔ Qiáng Jié answered all the questions asked of him by the Truth Tellers and was found to be innocent. However, this strong, brave warrior who never cried, not even when he suffered devastating wounds, was crying. As he answered each question, his eyes remain locked onto his nephew, Wǔ Yī Diǎn.
