Chapter 225 - Naval Battle (1) (2/2)
”Split your men into two and put them both in each of General Vinent's units.” I said. ”With thi, we can have a fighting chance against the enemy's magic attacks.”
”We are lucky to have Atlantians by our side.” General Vincent murmured.
”It is thanks to my mother's linage that I had the luck to meet them.” I said with a smile. ”But I never once thought of using them in a war like this.” I sighed sadly.
I have planned to officially give them amnesty and Grandcrest citizenship after I became king. But I never thought that a war would break out before I get the throne.
”Your majesty, we owe our lives to you and your mother. We will be forever in your debt.” Dimitri said with seriousness. ”I speak in behalf of my fellow Atlantians under you that we will fight by your side whole heartedly. We are ready to give our lives for you, your majesty.”
Dimitri kneeled down in one knee to show his upmost loyalty. He was speaking in behalf of his men and also for his own. His words made me happy inside.
”Rise Dimitri.” I helped him get up. ”You have been by my side since we were young and I would never doubt your words.”
”Thank you.” Dimitri replied.
”Let's just make sure to win this battle.” I said out loud.
The soldiers around us looked at me after hearing my words.
”This battle will make a huge impact in this current war. We cannot afford to lose in this. Our lives, family and our home are at stake. Let us fight for them!” I said with vigor. ”Let us win this battle and this war!”
”YEAH!!!” The soldiers yelled in response to my words. I looked at them confidently and raised my arm in a fist.
”Let's win this war!”
”We trust in you your majesty!”
”With your majesty here, we will surely win this battle!”
The soldiers cheered positively. A boost of confidence before a battle begins is a plus and as their commander in chief I have to stand firm and proud in front of them. I will lead them and all Grandrest in victory.
