Pluto, the sergeant, stopped after delivering his lengthy report and looked at Pluto expectantly. His face bore a hint of flattering smile, seemingly seeking Pluto's approval and encouragement. The sergeant's eyes revealed a hint of nervousness and unease, as he was acutely aware of Pluto's strictness and high standards, making him particularly concerned about his performance. 0
 
Pluto gazed at the sergeant with his deep and sharp eyes, seemingly evaluating the truth and effectiveness of his words. After a moment of silence, Pluto finally spoke. His voice was deep and calm, yet carried an unquestionable authority: "You've done well. Keep it up, you hear?" 0
 
 
The officer's expression instantly relaxed upon hearing Pluto's response, as if greatly comforted and encouraged. He immediately saluted in a standard military manner, his eyes shining with excitement and pride. His voice was loud and confident: "I will definitely do my best! Thank you, sir!" 0
 
Pluto nodded, though he was satisfied with the officer's performance, he did not show much emotion on his face. He knew that as the Legion commander, he had to maintain a certain distance and dignity to ensure the execution of orders and the discipline of the army. Pluto turned and continued his inspection, always concerned about the upcoming action and the safety of the legion. 0
 
 
Pluto continued to walk through the military camp with firm and solemn steps. Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps reached his ears, as if someone was rapidly approaching from behind. His close bodyguard reacted swiftly, drawing his long sword in an instant and commanding the approaching soldier to stop immediately with a stern voice. 0
 
"Stop! Kneel down!" The bodyguard's voice was loud and commanding, with a glint of vigilance and suspicion in his eyes. 0
 
 
The soldier who had hurried over immediately knelt down in front of Pluto upon hearing the bodyguard's command, his head bowed low and his whole body trembling, clearly very afraid. His breathing was rapid, as if he had just run a long distance, and sweat dripped onto the dusty ground. 0
 
Pluto turned around and gazed expressionlessly at the kneeling soldier. His gaze was sharp and penetrating, as if trying to see into the soldier's heart. However, his voice was unexpectedly calm: "Get up and tell me what happened." 0
 
 
The soldier raised his head, his eyes filled with fear and urgency, his lips trembling as he attempted to report some evidently urgent news to Pluto. His voice was low and hurried, but he tried to maintain respect and composure, knowing that the message he brought might have a significant impact on Legion commander Pluto and the entire legion. 0
 
Taking a deep breath to calm his emotion, the soldier hesitated and looked up with fear in his eyes. His voice was intermittent, but every word was clear: "Legion commander, there... there's a centurion... during rest period, he... he led some soldiers into the village. They claimed to be purifying imperial land and eliminating Rebels, but in reality... they were looting and killing." 0
 
 
The soldier's hand clenched tightly, his eyes filled with struggle, obviously feeling extremely uneasy about the content he was reporting: "I'm not sure if this is your order, Legion commander. But I remember, Legion commander, you once said that our mission is to suppress rebellion, not to invade. We should show deterrence, not indiscriminate violence. These actions... These actions seem to contradict our principles." 0
 
The soldier's voice grew quieter, but in Pluto's ears, it thundered like a storm. Pluto's face became stern, with a flash of shock and anger in his eyes. His hand clenched into a fist, seemingly trying to control his emotion. 0
 
 
"Are you sure this is true?" Pluto's voice was deep and powerful, his eyes staring directly at the soldier. "Did you see it with your own eyes? Who was that centurion?" 0
 
The soldier nodded, evidently convinced of everything he had seen. "Yes, Legion commander, I witnessed it with my own eyes. That centurion was..." His voice abruptly stopped, as if considering whether to report the name of the centurion. 0
 
 
Pluto's brow furrowed, knowing full well the seriousness of this news. If what the soldier said was true, it would seriously affect the reputation and discipline of the legion, and could have unforeseen consequences on the local situation. His heart was filled with conflict and anger, and for a moment, he almost didn't know how to handle this sudden crisis. 0
 
The soldier's face turned ashen, his lips trembling slightly as if struggling with whether to reveal the truth. The tip of the bodyguard's sword quivered in front of his head, creating an oppressive atmosphere that seemed to freeze the air. Pluto's patience had reached its limit, his voice tinged with anger and unease: "Speak! Who did it?" 0
 
 
The soldier was obviously intimidated by this pressure and finally burst out, his voice urgent and panicked: "It's... it's Centurion Lucius! He led some old soldiers... they... they did those things!" 0
 
When Pluto heard this name, he was shocked. A look of disbelief flashed in his eyes. Lucius was one of his old soldiers, always showing firm loyalty. Pluto felt a surge of mixed emotions in his heart, unable to believe that one of his centurions would behave in this way. 0
 
 
"Lucius..." Pluto's voice was low, with a hint of incredulity. "Why would he do this? It goes completely against our code of conduct!" 0
 
The soldier lowered his head, clearly feeling extremely shocked and worried about the matter. His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. "I... I'm not sure of his motives, but I saw those actions with my own eyes. It was... indiscriminate violence against the local people." 0
 
 
Pluto's face turned pale, and he knew that this event could have disastrous consequences for legion. He quickly made a decision: "Immediately gather all centurion, we need to handle this matter at once. This kind of behavior cannot be tolerated!" He turned and walked away, his steps firm and swift, filled with anger towards Lucius's actions and concern for the future of legion. 0
