The other Polar People also knelt down on the spot.
They knelt with their knees, their heads touching the blue stone floor beneath them.
"Lord, you can't blame Du An alone."
"We were also participants; please punish us as well. No matter the punishment, we are willing to accept it!"
Before Cao Xing could speak, the Ascalon Soldier Captain, Yaskin, also stepped forward.
He too knelt, "Respected Lord, it was my decision alone to appoint them as instructors."
"Please punish me as well!"
This sudden scene left Cao Xing and Liu Muxue dumbfounded.
And the people present, including Subject Cao Yi and Dazhuang, wore expressions of exasperation like hating iron for not becoming steel.
It seemed as though Du An and the others had done something outrageous.
However, Cao Xing, half-crying and half-laughing, said, "Why should I punish you?"
Upon hearing this, Du An hurriedly said,
"Because... we used the training ground without your permission."
