Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 230

If Rocky's analysis of the situation was correct and if the remaining two troops of the Black Army continued to go down as the others had, then the Black Army would undoubtedly lose. With his lone troop remaining, he was going to end up surrounded by the White Army's troops. And no matter how healthy and well-rested they were, they won't be able to withstand the numbers. After all, even a fierce tiger would find itself hard-pressed to defend against a circling pack of wolves. But of course, now that Rocky knew where the wind lay, he could take steps to prevent it from happening.

'It seems that we actually have to take action now. We must find a way to salvage the situation, ' Rocky thought to himself. As he thought this, his face was stony and grim. He couldn't help putting on a stern expression. Confident in his choice of action, he summoned his troop.

As the troop had rested for a full two hours, everyone was still eager and high-spirited. They were hungry for battle, ready to shatter their enemies into pieces.

"Brothers, now is the time for you to show your full strength. We're going to war, and we are going to teach the White Army a lesson it won't forget. Do you know what I've heard? I received word of the White Army saying that they will completely defeat the soldiers of the Black Army. And they have plans to humiliate us by having us tear off our pants in surrender. They're despicably arrogant!" Rocky's words echoed over his troops. They were purposeful; he aimed to drive a raging strength to his men. He could not allow his troops to appear weak, or they would not be able to push forward as ferociously as possible in the coming battles.

And his words had their full effect: his soldiers became infuriated. Livid at the alleged bold-faced remarks made by the White Army, the soldiers of Rocky's troop were eager to show them true defeat.

"If the White Army despises us so much, then we had better teach them a lesson that will really make them mad!"

"We're going to beat them so hard that their mothers won't even recognize them!"

"Ha-ha, I guess those guys haven't realized how pathetic they are. How dare they think we'll tear our pants off for them to surrender?! These bastards are really tired of living, aren't they?"

Seeing that the morale among the soldiers was at its peak, Rocky nodded with satisfaction. When marching and in combat, the morale of soldiers was the most essential factor. A thousand listless soldiers would never beat five hundred spirited ones, with morale and energy high. There were numerous precedents of a small, dedicated troop defeating what seemed like an insurmountable number of enemies. Morale and passion was the key to military victory, and it was part of true gamesmanship and tradecraft. If a troop's soldiers were brave and bold with no fear of death, they could resist any violent attack to the end.
