Chapter 3: Traitors and Cowards

"Stand and fight!" I said to the son of Buencamino .

" Bullshit " came his reply as he escaped from my grasp and runs away.

"Fucking bastard " I yelled as I fire my revolver at his direction.

"Son of a b*tch!" I cursed as I continued to go up and down our trench line as I encountered a dying Lieutenant shouting at his soldiers.

" Keep fighting! Don't give up! To the death! " he keeps shouting as I approach him.

" Don't move, and be quiet." I commanded.

" General. I'm sorry, I cannot... Be quiet." he said.

"Rusca! Rusca! " Shouting to my captain.

"Sir?"

"Get him to the rear. Call the medic! " I said to him.

"Medic! Medic! Hurry up! Get him out of here. " Rusca shouted at the medics on standby.

As the medics were attending to him I grabbed a Epaulettes from one of the dead Coronels in this trench line and up it on him.

" Lieutenant, for gallantry in the field of battle, I hereby promote you to Colonel of the Philippine Republic Army." I said as I saluted him.

"General..."

" Get him out of here. " I commanded the nurse who was tending to him

" Thank you, General. " The Lieutenant now Coronel thanked me as the medics slowly raised him up but his shot leg bended and blood came out his mouth.

"Wait. Put him down " said the nurse but it was already too late for the newly promoted Coronel.

I stood there until the Messenger I sent earlier came back with news

"What's the news messenger? " I questioned.

"Captain Janolino refuses to obey. General! " The messenger replied. ' Captain Janolino is one of the closes near my battlefield and yet he dares defy me?' I thought.

" General " Said another messenger I sent to Contact the Kawit brigade

" What's the word from Kawit? " I said.

" The Kawit Brigade refuses to obey.Capt. Janolino says that he has no direct orders from the President. " The Messenger said.

' God damn it, these men are gonna cost me this battle!" I thought, Anger at the Kawit brigade for their insubordination.

" Private! Get my horse. " I said to one of the private closes to me.

" Rusca stay here. Hold this line as long as possible! " I commanded Captain Rusca.

" Coronel Francisco, Come with me "

" Were counting on you, brother. " Joked Coronel Francisco to captain Rusca.

As we got near the camp I could hear of the soldiers shouting.

" Someone's coming. " as he runs to his fellow soldiers.

"Fall in! Faster! " Ordered another one.

" Look at this sorry bunch of idiots. Where is Captain Janolino? Your comrades are dying out there and hear You are just playing cards!Where's your captain? " I said as Rage clouded my head.

" Stand at attention when the general is talking to you! " Said Coronel Francisco as he points his officer revolver at them.

" He's inside. " Answered one of the soldiers.

" Roman. " I called my loyal Coronel.

" General? " he answered.

" Disarm these cowards. Strip them of their ranks and tie them up! " I said to him as I start to enter the hut where the captain of these men are.

And when I entered I did not like what I see, for I see the captain sleeping on a bed with a naked girl on his side.

" Son of a b*tch! " I cursed as took a cup of water and splashes it at them. "Good afternoon, Captain. Enjoying your nap? " I questioned.

" General... " came his answer as he he slowly stands and goes to his knees, probably gonna beg me to spare his life

" You understand Spanish and Tagalog, don't you? " I said.

" Yes, sir "

" Well, you piece of sh*t. " I cursed as I unhosterd my revolver and aimed it at his head. "Why did you not obey my orders? Do you know how many men are dead and wounded because of your stupidity? " I said to him with rage on my voice.

" I... I only take orders from President Aguinaldo. " came his reply.

" Are you not aware of the First Article of our rules and regulations captain? " I questioned with my brows raised.

" no, sir " came his almost immediate response.

" Coronel Francisco, could be so kind and read what Article one is in our rules " I said.

" Article One:

Any person who refuses

to follow orders

dictated by the General in chief

of the Philippine Army

will be immediately shot without trial. " as Coronel Francisco reads what Article one is, I could see that the captains face becoming paler each word.

After Coronel Francisco Finished reading, I kneeled down to look at the Captain in the eye. " That means you, brother." I smiled as I grab his cock hard and lead him outside to his men.

" You poor men of Kawit. Your leader has his brain on the wrong head " I said to the soldiers gathered.
