Chapter 971: Chapter 288: Swearing Allegiance (10K) (Part 2)

"Lord, Tyrone Ramirez and a group of captured soldiers have gathered at the Lord’s Square early this morning."

Lynn’s eyes narrowed slightly, waiting for the guard to continue speaking.

"Tyrone Ramirez says he has organized the Iron Guard of Pan Yan City, awaiting your approval, my Lord!"

Lynn replied, "I understand."

Tyrone Ramirez is very capable.

Whether in personal strength or in leadership and management of soldiers.

If Tyrone can rally the seven hundred ninety-nine captured soldiers, to be revitalized and willing to fight for his territory.

That would be ideal.

Eight hundred mature soldiers with combat and city defense experience!

No need to provide them with a large amount of high-nutrition food to improve their physical fitness.

Nor is there a need to spend a lot of time on basic instructions and physical training for them.

Just fill their stomachs and equip them with suitable armor and weapons, and they can charge into battle and fight the enemy!

It would significantly enhance the military strength of his territory.

With steady steps, Lynn continued toward the Lord’s Square.

Just turning the corner of a Red Brick House.

On the Lord’s Square.

The outline of a neatly formed lineup came into view for Lynn.

Even though they were not wearing armor, even though they were just in coarse linen shirts, with fabric worn and faded.

They meticulously tucked their shirt corners under their waistbands.

Their eyes stern, gazing intently at the empty speaker’s platform ahead.

Though townsmen and patrols occasionally passed by, giving them curious glances.

They still stood firmly, waiting.

Waiting for the arrival of the lord they pledged allegiance to.

Perhaps due to a reminder, or perhaps an eagle-eyed soldier.

When Lynn appeared on the edge of the Lord’s Square.

Many eyes turned and fell upon him.

Including Tyrone Ramirez, standing at the forefront of the lineup.

Lynn naturally felt their gazing eyes.

He appeared calm, his steps steady as he ascended the platform facing the eight hundred captured soldiers.

Lynn’s gaze moved, meeting the eyes of all the captured soldiers, sweeping over each of their faces.

Under Lynn’s watchful gaze.

The captured soldiers felt great pressure and unwittingly shifted their gaze, daring not continue eye contact.

They could clearly feel that the young lord standing on the platform was exuding a powerful aura from head to toe.

As a result.

When Lynn’s gaze swept over their faces.

The soldiers all turned their gaze away, lowering their heads.

Lynn looked at the forefront, Tyrone Ramirez, and spoke.

"Tyrone Ramirez, tell me the purpose of your gathering."

Upon hearing Lynn’s words, the gaze of all the captured soldiers turned to Tyrone Ramirez, waiting for his response.

Tyrone suddenly lifted his head, his face marked with vertical scars shaped like the character ’口’ facing Lynn.

In a loud and solemn voice, he spoke.

"I, Tyrone Ramirez, from this moment vow allegiance to Lord Lynn Blake!"

"I will serve you with my life, my honor, and all my power, obey your commands, defend your rights, and oppose all enemies."

"Should I break this vow, may I fall into endless Purgatory, my soul forever tormented by flames!"

As the last words fell, Tyrone, who had been standing upright, bent his knees and knelt down.

Then.

Behind Tyrone, the voices of seven hundred ninety-nine captured soldiers echoed with the same vow.

"I, Casio Benitez, from this moment, pledge allegiance to Lord Lynn Blake..."

"I, Leo Heik..."

"I, Jonathan Robinson..."

The sound of the pledging echoed continuously across the Lord’s Square.

Even.

Some townsmen working outside the town were drawn to this loud shouting.

Despite their different names, until the last words fell.

All captured soldiers, as if by agreement, bent their knees, kneeling on one knee on the ground.

Their eyes wide open.

Gazing intently at the young lord standing on the platform, awaiting his response.

Seeing Lynn standing on the platform with no response. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Kneeling on one knee at the forefront of the lineup, Tyrone called out again.

"Please, Lord, accept our allegiance!"

Tyrone’s voice fell, and the captured soldiers echoed in unison.

"Please, Lord, accept our allegiance!"

Seeing the excited expressions on their faces, eyes filled with eager anticipation.

Lynn spoke to the crowd: "I can accept your allegiance."

"I can also provide you with fine food and barrack accommodations."

"And even equip you with armor and weapons!"

Hearing Lynn’s words, the faces of the captured soldiers lit up with delight.

Just as Tyrone had informed them last night.

Lynn’s words took a turn: "However!"

"In return for these I offer you, what can I expect?"

"In the face of the enemy’s assault, can you meet them head-on at the earliest moment, fighting with your lives?"

Tyrone responded solemnly, without hesitation: "We can!"

His troops of captured soldiers behind him equally exuded high spirits.
