Chapter 644: Inspiring Speech
Seeing that the Elf King did not seem to have anything else to say, Bunduk stood up and spoke loudly to the elves below the square.
He said, “Warriors, your homes are currently being destroyed. Those hateful undead soldiers have harmed your families and harmed the people of this territory. Do you not care at all?”
There was a strong catalyst in the words of Commander Bunduk, but it did not seem to be enough to arouse the conscience of these elven soldiers. Bunduk suddenly recalled what Lord Kant had once said, there were a large number of immigrants from the elven colonies who had snuck into Drondheim’s territory. That’s right, they were not spies but trusted aides of the elven colony’s ministers. No wonder these ministers did not care, the reason was that the elven colonies had long lost their loved ones. They weren’t willing to use their true power because they wanted to live, and not because they were determined to fight to the death.
This was also the real reason why the elven colonies were repeatedly defeated and invaded by the weak undead soldiers.
Bunduk was currently having a headache, but he could not show it. Pam must have also discovered the reason why the elven colonies were not united. However, Pam did not have too much energy on this at that time, which was why there was a time to retreat, the reason why the elves could not provide good cover was that those elven soldiers did not even want to protect their own comrades, so how could they protect Drondheim, who was not even a comrade?
Bunduk was extremely disappointed. What he needed was a united team and not a divided team. If the elven soldiers at the rear weren’t united, it would be useless if his soldiers were so united. Their fate would definitely be the same as Pam’s. He wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen.
Bunduk continued, “Warriors, I know that you may have some misunderstandings now, but I hope that you can let go of your prejudice against each other. Your relatives are still in Drondheim. If you can’t bring out your true strength, then Drondheim will not treat your relatives well. The elven colony is your home. Drondheim is full of hoodlums who bully foreigners.”
Bunduk’s words were clearly more exciting than the Elf King’s.
The ministers’ originally indifferent expressions gradually changed. Their faces became gloomy as if they were deep in thought.
It had to be said that Bunduk knew how to win over the hearts of the people better than Pam. Pam only blindly trusted his old teammates, but he would not manage those unrelated people.
However, the elven soldiers and the elven ministers were people who fought side by side with them. If they could not unite them, then this battle would definitely be defeated. Bunduk deeply understood this principle.
Bunduk visited his teammates in the rest camp. These young lads liked to snore loudly when they slept. Bunduk did not have any intention of blaming them, this might be the last time in their lives that they would sleep so soundly.
He also collapsed on a mattress.
The soldier next to him saw Bunduk and quickly said, “Commander Bunduk, why are you sleeping here? Didn’t the Elf King give you a private room?”
This young soldier looked very angry. His eyes were filled with anger. He really could not stand the actions of these elves. In his opinion, the elven colonies had fallen to such a state because they had brought this upon themselves and couldn’t blame anyone else.
Bunduk continued to lie down, he said to the young soldier, “The Elf King has given me a room to rest in. However, I feel that the floor is more suitable for me. I’ve been fighting outside all year round, and I always like to sleep on the floor with the soldiers. This is my freedom. You don’t have to be too surprised.”
As he spoke, Bunduk also began snoring loudly. He was a physically energetic person, but he could not resist the erosion of time.
The young soldier was clearly moved by Bunduk’s words, and his heart softened.
Tears suddenly appeared in his eyes. This was something that should not appear on a soldier. He secretly wiped it off, and then fell asleep next to Commander Bunduk.
In Madeline Square, Bunduk and 1500 soldiers were ready to leave. Those soldiers received a great recovery after a day of rest. They all looked radiant and full of the vigor of young people, most importantly, there was a calm smile on the corners of these people’s mouths.
This was a rare situation, but for Bunduk, attacking the heart was what he was best at. He was not a person who loved soldiers very much. At least, compared to Pam, he definitely would not reach the height of Pam who loved soldiers as much.
He was just using his methods to reasonably mobilize the atmosphere of the soldiers. Usually, as long as he put on a high and mighty appearance and got close to the soldiers during battle, he would be able to achieve an unexpected result.
That was why these soldiers looked like they were ready to die.
On the other hand, the cavalry led by Pam were all used to Pam being amiable to them. Therefore, many times, their unity was only on the surface, and when it came to actual combat, they were often vulnerable.
Bunduk maintained a calm mind at all times. He a.n.a.lyzed in his mind what he should do to mobilize the soldiers’ momentum, and what he should do to make the elven ministers listen to him.
His goal was only to win the war to save his life. He did not think that Commander Kant’s words were a joke. After all, Pam was a lesson learned from the past. Should there be another lesson like his?
Bunduk didn’t dare to try, so he said, “Soldiers, don’t let Lord Kant down! You are all the sharpest soldiers of Drondheim. Don’t forget what Lord Kant said before we left!”
“Lord Kant is waiting for us to return in triumph!”
Bunduk’s loud voice resounded throughout Madeline Square. The elven ministers were frightened by such a loud voice.
Bunduk continued to speak to the elven ministers, “You are the most reliable rear defense force. I believe in you!”
These words caused the elven ministers’ faces to suddenly turn red. This was the first time most of the ministers had heard someone say such words to them. This caused their hearts to become filled with faint antic.i.p.ation. It was as if they did not want to avoid the war, instead, they wanted to try to face the war and go all out instead of hiding behind it.
