Chapter 384: Marching Orders (2/2)
-----------
Finally the next day , Rudra reported to the military ground of the Royal Millitary , where the entire first legion had assembled. Emperor Cervantez and Patricia were present too.
Rudra bowed to the king , as Patricia glared at Rudra , for him to give a millitary salute. Which Rudra instantly did.
The Emperor chuckled at Rudra's fumble of greetings , as he let it slide. Etiquette was not something Cervantez was bothered about much as long as appropriate respect was shown to him.
The entire 100,000 soldiers all had their eyes on Rudra , their new lieutenant .
Emperor Cervantez said ” My Brave warriors , for far too long we have been humiliated by our neighbouring states. For far too long , we have been fighting and loosing wars.
We once dominated the entire continent , but slowly after rebells continued to gain power , we shrunk back to this small kingdom , over the reign of my ancestors.
My ancestors were not strong enough , to claim back the glory of the HAZELGROOVE EMPIRE , but i am not my ancestor. I CERVANTEZ will reclaim the lost glory of OUR kingdom , those who have wronged us will now know the fear of Hazelgroove soldiers , they dared to hit us when we were weaker , but now we are not the weak one's anymore.
My brave soldiers , THEY ARE THE WEAK ONES NOW , they tremble before the very thought of facing the Hazelgroove Army. This Army , AND YOU ! , The time of our suffering is now over , the time for vengance is here!
FOR THE GLORY OF THE KINGDOM! ”.
The entire one hundered thousand soldiers shouted back ” FOR THE GLORY OF THE KINGDOM”.
It was a chilling scene , and Rudra had to admit that Cervantez was a great talker, even he had goosebumps listening to the emperor , as he felt like going to war right now!
Cervantez has a regal aura about him , one that brings weight to every word he says. If he blamed the enemy , they must be wrong , it he says we are stronger , then we must be stronger. Such was the mentality amongst every soldier down in the field.
Cervantez continued ” Remember this day brave soldiers , this is the day where our counterattack starts , you are a trained and disciplined unit , much stronger than those rebels, who would fall under the stabs of your swords and thrusts of your spears.
The only thing you needed was a capable leader. And that I have found in the greatest knight household of Hazelgroove kingdom , a name all of you must be familiar with. Shakuni Won Knight !
His achievements innumerable , his strength unfathomable , however the most outstanding feature of the man being his wits and cunning. With him at the helm , glory will be yours. ALL SALUTE THE LIEUTENANT OF FIRST LEGION , SHAKUNI WON KNIGHT ! ”.
One thousand men saluted Rudra at once , as Rudra had goosebumps all over his body. This was by far the greatest honor he had recieved in his life. His eyes shining with determination. He was ready to proove the emperors faith in him right.
Saluting back at his soldiers , Rudra felt a bubble of energy rising in his chest.
He was ready to conquer a few kingdoms!
