Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 689

All the citizens fell silent at Rocky's words. They agreed with Rocky and thought that his advice made sense. They had no time to waste in complaining right now, instead, they should think of how they can survive.

"I won't force you to do anything. If you don't want to fight alongside us, I won't blame you for that. We, the Crimson Dragon Army, have the responsibility to protect you, but we are not almighty. You must stand for yourself too if you want to survive. And I, as the Commander in Chief, promise you that the Crimson Dragon Army will be your solid shield in this trying time. Believe in me! Let's beat the enemies together!" Rocky pronounced solemnly.

"Commander in Chief Rocky, I trust you. I am ready to risk everything for my wife and kids." A plain-looking man stood up. He stared lovingly at his wife and children and stepped closer to Rocky.

"I'll follow you!"

"Count me in!"

"Those Holy Sea Empire assholes killed my wife. I will crush them!"

One by one, the other young men among the citizens also stood up and volunteered.

In just a short while, nearly more than one thousand people had come forward. Only those who couldn't fight, such as the elderly, the women, and the children were left.

It just showed how powerful the desire to survive could be. After all, no one wanted to die. This desire was a great fuel, an undeniable motivation, which could push nearly anyone to fight for themselves and to fight well.

"Let's move!" Rocky declared. He nodded contentedly at the brave volunteers he had gathered, then he turned away to lead them forward into victory.

Later, Isis and Fleming, who were about to complete the ambush deployment, caught sight of Rocky. He was walking with a vast group of people towards the hillside, and everyone they passed was rendered speechless in shock.

"He made it!" Isis cried out in relief and joy.

"Commander in Chief Rocky is so awesome. He even eliminated the resentment of the people against the Crimson Dragon Army," said Fleming, who was also watching the scene with eyes widened in surprise and admiration.

Without wasting another second, Isis and Fleming hurried over to greet Rocky and the people's army, as they arrived.

"Commander Fleming, can you spare some of our weapons for these citizens? If there are not enough, then give them the shields or wooden sticks as weapons. Anyway, make use of anything useful and make sure that they are provided with weapons. They will be fighting with us," Rocky ordered Fleming.

"Yes, Commander in Chief." Fleming nodded at once, then he called some soldiers to gather the weapons and equipment. He efficiently distributed them to every one of the people's army, as he made sure that each person knew how to handle the weapons.

"How did you persuade them?" Isis looked at Rocky curiously and asked.

"It wasn't difficult to convince them. I am, after all, perfectly eloquent," said Rocky confidently, as he raised his eyebrows and smirked at her playfully.

"Don't flatter yourself! Anyway, these citizens have no experience. Can they really fight with us?" she asked him in a low voice, careful that no one but them would hear their conversation. She didn't want to waste Rocky's effort and anger the citizens.
