Chapter 514: Chapter 514: The Beacon Fires are Lit! (Part II)
Northern Territory command post, the training ground.
Under the scorching sun, a hundred thousand soldiers in white, with solemn expressions, look forward in anticipation.
Shortly thereafter, White Mitchell, having shed his armor, slowly appears before the crowd.
“Salutations to the Army Master!”
Upon the orders of the God of Heaven War who returned overnight, one hundred thousand soldiers salute.
Observing these warm-blooded youths he brought up single-handedly, White Mitchell is filled with emotion.
Thinking back to five years ago, when he was a rookie first setting foot on the battlefield, he never thought that one day, he would become a commander, and lead one hundred thousand warm-blooded youths into the blood-soaked battlefield.
“This will be my last time, in my capacity as an Army Master, to meet my brothers in arms. After today, I will no longer be your commander, but you will always be my brothers,” says White Mitchell slowly.
Boom!
Such remarks instantly cause a stir in the training ground.
What’s going on?
Is their commander about to retire?
Not to mention the hundred thousand soldiers, even the Four Great War Gods and the Five War Kings are taken aback by this news.
“Superior! Why the sudden change!?”
The Four Great War Gods and the Five War Kings gather around.
If White Mitchell chooses to retire for the sake of his family, they would not complain. However, if White Mitchell upsets the War Department because of his recent actions in Capital City, they would not accept it!
They are well aware that those whom White Mitchell has killed deserve their fates.
The Deathz organization, the Taylor Family, and the Mitchell Family, have untold innocent blood on their hands. If these people cause White Mitchell to be wronged, they are willing to risk their own glory to seek justice for him.
Facing everyone’s concern, White Mitchell feels warm inside. What more could one ask for than such comrades?
“My brothers, you need not worry for me. I have simply received an order to go to an unknown place to carry out a mission,” says White Mitchell slowly.
Another secret mission?
Hearing this, the Four Great War Gods furrow their brows. The last time White Mitchell said this, he was gone for a whole year. Now that he said the same thing, they don’t know how long he will be gone.
“It’s a battlefield that even I don’t know about. This trip, I’ll be taking some soldiers with me. However, this battlefield is far more dangerous than any place we have been to before.
And once we set foot on that battlefield, we will not have names, we will not have honor, all worldly things will be discarded.
No one knows if we can come back, no one knows where we are going, even I can’t tell you right now.
The only thing I can tell you is that we are fighting for ordinary people, for our parents and friends, for the Dragon Realm!”
In the end, White Mitchell’s voice is filled with a strong resolution.
“Superior, take me with you!”
“Superior, I am willing to go!”
“Superior, as long as I’m by your side, I am not afraid of braving any danger!”
The soldiers are passionate.
In response to the petition of the crowd, White Mitchell shakes his head:” I can’t take all of you there. Soldiers above the rank of War King who wish to go, assemble here in one month. But before then, give it careful thought!
As for the brothers who choose to stay, I hope you won’t feel disheartened. You are the sparks of our White War Department, as long as you’re here, our spirit will never fade!
Remember, this is not an order, everyone has the right to choose. Whether to go or stay, give it careful thought within this one month! Now you may leave, spend some good time with your families.”
