I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree
Chapter 82 - Great Victory (8/13)

Martin nimbly climbed over the wall.

At this moment, he was not wearing armor, and the noise he made while moving was much less. In its place was the cold.

But no matter how biting the cold was, it could not cool Martin’s hot blood. He moved forward in the cold wind, until he reached the camp of the unit he was currently commanding.

Although Garibaldi promoting Martin was a tactic to lure the tiger away from its mountain, the way Martin had conducted himself during this time, always leading by example, had indeed earned the trust of the soldiers, so much so that when he returned, not a single soldier went to report him. Instead, they proactively stood guard at the entrance, helping Martin keep it a secret.

Returning to the camp, Martin immediately gathered all of his soldiers. He stood on the martial arts platform, looking at the soldiers below, and recounted his experiences from the past few days.

“From now on, I don’t know what you will think, but these past few days, I have considered you all my brothers. I respect whatever actions you take. Whether it’s to follow me and rescue our suffering comrades, or to stand by and watch, or to report me, it’s up to you.”

Martin was gambling.

Even if he could sneak into the original camp by himself, rescuing everyone who had been tortured for a long time, who were exhausted and even dying, would be very difficult.

But if the soldiers who had been with him day and night were willing to help him, then it would clearly be much easier for him.

However, all the soldiers present were ordinary people. Mutiny, in their minds, was a bad thing, and they were very resistant to it.

But sometimes, the power of one person is enough to make a group of people act impulsively.

At this moment, among the soldiers, a sergeant major took the lead and shouted loudly, “The officer has always treated us well. We have all seen it. What happened today is definitely not the officer’s fault. We will follow the officer!”

When one person spoke, a group effect followed. Many people also started shouting.

“We will follow the officer!”

“Good! Then let’s go and rescue our comrades now!”

Saying this, Martin quickly formulated a rescue plan, and then set off with the soldiers.

A unit of five thousand soldiers moving collectively would naturally attract a lot of attention, and sending everyone out was also unrealistic. For this operation, Martin only took five hundred people. The remaining people stayed behind in the camp, on standby. According to Martin’s plan, they would need to hold out in the camp for a period of time. So the remaining soldiers were reinforcing the defensive fortifications.

However, the collective movement of five hundred people was still noticed by quite a few people. Fortunately, this time, Martin was not at the forefront of the operation but was mixed in with the crowd. Therefore, no one recognized Martin, and thus no suspicion was aroused.

Upon reaching the outside of the camp where the peasant army was being held, Martin ordered his unit to quickly take over the guards on the periphery.

There were only a little over a hundred guards on the periphery. This size of a unit, when facing five hundred well-trained soldiers, would certainly be unable to resist. They were obediently disarmed, and not a single person even managed to send a message.

Martin led his subordinates into the military tent. At this moment, the tent had been converted into a prison. Inside the prison, a few interrogators were torturing a soldier. Seeing Martin and the others walk in, the interrogators looked at them in confusion.

“Who are you people? Were you allowed to come in?”

Before he could finish speaking, he was knocked down by a punch from Martin. Subsequently, his companions beside him were also subdued one after another.

“I am here to rescue them,” Martin said coldly.

“Rescue them? They are suspected of colluding with the enemy. If you rescue them, you are also guilty. Don’t you know that?!”

“Of course I know. So now I am no longer on your side,” After saying this, Martin quickly struck and cut off the enemy’s head.

Subsequently, the soldiers orderly released the imprisoned peasant army.

“Officer Martin!”

“Officer Martin came to rescue us!”

“Officer Martin, you are finally here!”

Seeing his former subordinates, each of them looking pale and thin at this moment, Martin felt a pang of heartache. But he quickly composed himself, because there were still many things waiting for him to handle.

“Everyone, I don’t know what you have endured these past few days, but it is my fault that I couldn’t come to rescue you.”

“However, after this period of time, I have come to realize that the people above us are simply not fit to be our commanders. They do not treat us as human beings, but simply as tools for statistical purposes!”

“Therefore, I have decided that from now on, we will rise up and not fight with these people. We will protect our homes in our own way. These people are just pests clinging to our homes and are not worthy of being with us!”

After this series of speeches, Martin had the soldiers take the injured peasant army back to the camp where they were constructing defensive fortifications.

By the time they returned to the camp, even someone as slow-witted as Garibaldi realized that something was wrong.

The officer he had sent today to replace Martin hadn’t even taken up his post yet. Why had that unit acted on their own?

Subsequently, after inquiring about the direction the unit had taken, Garibaldi realized something was amiss. He quickly dispatched troops to reinforce the defense, but at this moment, Martin had already led the unit back to the camp, and the hastily constructed defense line prevented the soldiers on the periphery from attacking.

Furthermore, ultimately, this unit was also composed of his former comrades. They spoke the same dialect and all hoped that this matter was a misunderstanding between them.

But this was not a misunderstanding.
