"They will do no such thing." Declared the cold voice of Lieutenant Milos Karras, stepping towards the abusive corporal. He looked down at the exhausted Spaniard. "On your feet, Dragoon." He ordered, before turning to face Ioannis and the two men he was attempting to 'discipline' for no discernible reason.

When he had originally witnessed the Spaniard performing push-ups, he had not seen the original exchange, and thus did not know if such a punishment was warranted or not. But upon keeping a closer eye on the Lance-Corporal and watching him approach then subsequently order a Cornet and an Enlisted men (one of whom was superior in rank, both had done nothing wrong, and the Corporal was not acting on Milos's order), he had to put a stop to it. His first day would not be marked by his senior NCO being allowed to so blatantly flout the Bandon's chain of command.

Besides, if the situation carried on like this, half the Bandon would be too exhausted to actually get anything out of the training, and at least a tenth of them would probably be considering mutiny by the end of the first day. He had to show the corporal who was in control here, and make sure that everyone else knew it too.

"You have no authority to give orders to or disrespect a commissioned officer, and I have not given you the authority to issue unwarranted disciplinary action. You will cease this behavior immediately. Do I make myself clear?" He said, giving the corporal a withering stare for good measure.
