Chapter 981: Chapter 289: I Am Starting a War (10,000 Characters)_6

Red explained with a grave expression, "Lord, no, I only instructed the guards to inform Rose to gather the soldiers."

Lynn responded, "I understand."

He shifted his gaze, once again looking towards the rear of the formation.

Standing at the forefront of the seven hundred ninety-nine Pan Rock Iron Guards, Tyrone was watching his fellow soldiers behind him.

He shouted, "Begin forming ranks, align yourselves!"

Receiving Tyrone’s command, the Pan Rock Iron Guards began to move with short, steady steps.

Swish, swish, swish~

With rhythmic quick paces, the Pan Rock Iron Guards shrank from a marching column into a lined formation.

In less than half a minute.

Seven hundred ninety-nine Pan Rock Iron Guards were fully aligned in formation.

Such orderly, swift, and accurate execution of commands.

Only soldiers like the Pan Rock Iron Guards, with systematic training, can achieve this.

Under the gaze of Lynn, Red, Rose, and others.

Tyrone strode from the rear of the formation, passing his fellow soldiers, to the very front.

Finally, he stood three meters before Lynn.

Tyrone shouted loudly, "Lord, the eight hundred Pan Rock Iron Guards have assembled! Please issue your orders!"

Just like the resounding marching steps just heard.

Tyrone’s words echoed through the forest and mountains.

Despite the fierce scars on Tyrone’s face, Lynn looked directly at him and said deeply.

"Commander Tyrone, I did not instruct you to assemble the Pan Rock Iron Guards!"

"I remember the orders I gave you were...to lead them in training and restore their combat levels!"

Tyrone remained calm, continuing loudly, "I understand, my Lord."

Lynn frowned slightly, waiting for his explanation.

Tyrone explained, "I know our Lord wants us to restore our previous combat levels through training and possess powerful combat ability."

"But my Lord, the eight hundred Pan Rock Iron Guards need war!"

"This is not just my request, but the request of all the Pan Rock Iron Guards!"

"In the eyes of our Lord, we are nothing but a group of prisoners of war who surrendered and abandoned our posts to survive."

"We are not worthy of pledging loyalty to you, my Lord!"

"Therefore, to prove our determination to pledge loyalty to our Lord."

"We petition our Lord to allow us to join in the imminent war."

"Please grant us your favor, my Lord!"

After speaking, Tyrone’s strong body bent low, performing a soldier’s salute.

The unified voices from the Pan Rock Iron Guards at the rear echoed at the same time.

"Please grant us your favor, my Lord!"

Lynn remained silent, his gaze passed over Tyrone to the rear of the formation.

On those faces, in those eyes, filled with anticipation and longing.

Full of craving and yearning for war.

Lynn returned his gaze to Tyrone, stating.

"Commander Tyrone, there are not enough armors in the territory to equip you all!"

Hearing this, Tyrone’s face revealed a look of joy.

He quickly replied, "My Lord, we do not need armor, only that you provide each of us with a weapon."

"Then we can join the battle!"

Lynn frowned again.

After a few seconds of silence.

Lynn looked at Rose beside him, asking.

"Are there enough weapons in the barracks to equip eight hundred soldiers?"

Rose, waiting patiently beside Lynn, had been observing the entire process.

Upon hearing Lynn’s inquiry, Rose quickly responded.

"Master, there are!"

"Previously, the weapons seized from the destruction of Frank Manor are all stored in the warehouse."

"They have not yet been sent to the Blacksmith Workshop for melting and remanufacturing."

Upon hearing Rose’s response, light visibly brightened in Tyrone’s eyes.

Lynn nodded, saying, "Arrange personnel to transport the weapons out and equip the Pan Rock Iron Guards with them!"

Rose promptly responded, "Yes, Master."

Immediately.

Rose called upon a few soldiers, gave them a few instructions, and the soldiers immediately retreated and got underway.

Sitting on the back of Ink Shadow Horse, Lynn addressed Tyrone and the Pan Rock Iron Guards at the rear.

"I can agree to your request, allowing you to join the upcoming war!"

Lynn continued, "But I must inform you in advance, I can only provide you with a weapon each!"

"Without the protection of armor, facing the enemy’s rain of arrows, facing their cavalry charge, you are living targets!"

Tyrone’s expression shook, shouting.

"The battlefield is our final destination!"

The Pan Rock Iron Guards at the rear echoed in unison.

"The battlefield is our final destination!"

Lynn gave Tyrone and the Pan Rock Iron Guards an appreciative look.

"Very well."

"I permit you to join the upcoming war!"

Having received Lynn’s permission, joy and excitement appeared on the Pan Rock Iron Guards’ faces.

The Lord said he doesn’t like verbal pledges of loyalty.

Then.

They will rely on their actions, their performance on the battlefield, to prove the authenticity of their pledge of loyalty.

Lynn gave Tyrone a glance, cautioning.

"Even without the protection of armor."

"For as many Pan Rock Iron Guards as you take out, you must bring them back!"

"From the moment I receive your loyalty, your lives no longer belong to you!"

Standing before Lynn’s warhorse, Tyrone looked at Lynn, his eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.

His voice almost trembled with emotion.

"Yes, my Lord!"

Because from the words of the Lord before him, he heard their concern!

This feeling he had never sensed from anyone else’s words before.

Lynn replied, sending Tyrone back to join the Pan Rock Iron Guards.

He gazed over the Pan Rock Iron Guards at the rear.

Perhaps because he had agreed to their requests.

Or perhaps because they felt the concern in his words.

The loyalty value of the Pan Rock Iron Guards was visibly rising at a noticeable speed.

Previously, he did have concerns.

Deploying most of the armed soldiers from the territory for external warfare.

Leaving behind seven hundred ninety-nine Pan Rock Iron Guards led by Tyrone.

This was an unknown risk to his territory.

Tyrone’s request with the Pan Rock Iron Guards to join the external war.

Exactly resolved his concerns about the potential risks from the Pan Rock Iron Guards!

Waiting for the soldiers to use double-wheeled carts to deliver the weapons and fully arm the eight hundred Pan Rock Iron Guards.

Lynn tapped his Ink Shadow beneath him, which understood, and began to walk slowly.

A deep voice emerged from Lynn’s lips.

"Perhaps, you all wonder why I suddenly issued the call!"

"Summoning a total of three thousand eight hundred soldiers beneath the city walls."

The soldiers raised their heads, eyes wide, looking directly at their Lord.

Lynn’s gaze swept over them, he called out solemnly.

"Now I can tell you—I am declaring war!"
