Chapter 972 - Chapter 972 - 288: Swearing Allegiance (10,000 Words)_3

Sure, here is the translated text:

"We can!"

Lynn continued, "Faced with the enemy's charge, will you be able to use your bodies to halt their advancing steps?"

Tyrone spoke decisively, "We can!"

The soldiers in the back responded loudly.

"We can!"

Lynn said solemnly, "Faced with a wall about to be breached, can you hold your ground until the very last moment?"

"Even if it means fighting to the death? Shedding every last drop of blood?"

Tyrone's mouth slightly opened, the words he was about to speak paused abruptly.

He understood that Lynn's question referred to Pan Yan City.

Although the final fate of Pan Yan City was that they would be defeated due to the overwhelming difference in strength, even if they didn't surrender.

But for the Lord they now pledge loyalty to, it was the greatest obstacle.

It is even described as a feeling of choked bitterness, and there's nothing excessive about it.

A group of war prisoners who chose to surrender to save their lives...

How could they easily earn anyone's trust?

Tyrone comprehended why the Lord hasn't fully accepted them yet.

But!

Tyrone raised his head high, his eyes resolute, he shouted at Lynn.

"We can!"

As his voice fell, the prisoners behind him also shouted in unison.

"We can!"

Perhaps the prisoners sensed the doubt and distrust in Lynn's words.

The shout this time was several times louder than before.

Like a thunderbolt, it pierced the skies, echoing in the heavens.

Only after a few seconds did it gradually dissipate.

As the sound dissipated.

Lynn nodded and said to the prisoners, "Very good!"

"I, Lynn Blake, accept your loyalty!"

"Stand up!"

Upon hearing Lynn's words, Tyrone raised his eyebrows with a hint of surprise.

Not only Tyrone.

The prisoners behind him shared the same sentiment.

In their joy, there was a trace of confusion.

After exchanging glances, they slowly stood up.

Under Tyrone's lead, a uniform voice rang out.

"Thank you, Lord!"

Lynn nodded and continued speaking.

"The organization of Pan Rock Iron Guard will remain, and I appoint Tyrone as Commander to manage you fully."

"From this moment on, you are no longer the eight hundred Iron Guards of Pan Yan City! But the Pan Rock Iron Guard of this territory!"

The joy in the prisoners' eyes became even more evident.

Lynn scanned them once more, saying.

"Loyalty is not merely a promise given with words."

"I look forward to your future performance!"

Sensing the nearly cautionary tone in Lynn's words, their expressions became resolute.

"We will never betray the Lord's trust."

Lynn nodded, thought to himself, and began to examine their personal information panel.

Perhaps because of their loyalty.

Or maybe because he trusted these prisoner soldiers.

Their loyalty value was rapidly increasing.

Lynn turned his gaze to the guards below the podium and spoke.

"Remove the handcuffs and shackles from everyone."

"From this moment, they are no longer prisoners, but townsmen like everyone else!"

Under the gaze of the prisoner soldiers, he walked down from the speaking platform.

Lynn looked at Tyrone not far away.

Without Lynn having to speak, Tyrone perked up and ran forward.

Tyrone bent his waist, speaking respectfully, "Lord."

Lynn replied, "From now on, you are the Commander of the Pan Rock Iron Guard!"

Tyrone's bow became even more profound.

"Thank you, Lord. Tyrone will never betray your trust."

Lynn said solemnly, "I already mentioned that actions speak louder than promises!"

Tyrone's expression became serious, no longer filled with any promise words.

Lynn continued speaking: "You don't need to engage in production labor anymore."

"Perhaps what you see of the territory is peaceful, with townsmen living and working in peace and contentment."

"But outside this territory, undercurrents are surging, with many crises approaching."

"If there is a war, I'll deploy the Pan Rock Iron Guard to join the battle first."

"Thus, I need you to lead them, resume the training according to your previous methods, and restore their combat ability!"

Tyrone's tone was firm, "Yes, Lord."

Lynn said, "Regarding the place for training and residing, as well as the armor and weapons for the soldiers, I will arrange them for you promptly."

Tyrone bowed again, "Thank you, Lord."

Lynn nodded and let Tyrone step down to arrange the organization of the prisoner soldiers.

He paced towards the craft workshops.

As he walked, he pondered in his mind.

Thinking about the subsequent arrangement of these eight hundred Pan Rock Iron Guards.

By establishing the Pan Rock Iron Guard in the territory, he naturally wanted these soldiers to have a strong sense of honor.

Moreover, to denote his respect for the soldiers' past.

Also.

This decision was evidently correct.

The loyalty value of the eight hundred Pan Rock Iron Guards was continuously rising!

Of course.

He also considered that the formation of the Pan Rock Iron Guard might lead to the emergence of military factions within the territory!

Rose's cavalry unit, Wesley's archery unit...

He even considered the friction and conflicts between military groups.

However.

Even if such a situation arises, he doesn't care.

The existence of military groups has both advantages and disadvantages.

The benefit is.

Firstly.

It can prevent the excessive authority of a single leader, reducing the risk of a mercenary mutiny and seizing power.

Additionally, it can strengthen his control over the soldier units!
