Chapter 1233: Chapter 38 Great Alliance Marches Forward (23)_3

At that moment, someone poked Monkey from behind.

Monkey turned his head, and it was Pako.

Pako held a large package and said timidly, "Squad leader, your plate armor."

"Hey!" Monkey slapped his forehead, grinning widely, "I almost forgot about it."

The private soldiers’ armor was handed over to the logistics team to carry, but the officers’ and sergeants’ armor were carried by the private soldiers themselves, so they remained with them.

Although Monkey was just a squad leader, he found a loophole and pleaded with Lu Xirong’s soldiers, pounding his chest to guarantee he wouldn’t lose the armor halfway, so his armor also stayed behind.

However, the person carrying the armor was obviously not Monkey himself—he couldn’t carry it. Silly Pako was quite strong, and it was he who carried Monkey’s armor while traversing mountains last night.

Monkey opened the package, picked up the plate armor and began to put it on, while Pako helped him fasten the belt and buttons.

But soon, Monkey’s actions halted, he glanced at Pako, looked over at the spearmen at the end of the line, and finally his gaze rested on the dimly shining breastplate.

After a brief internal struggle, Monkey took off the breastplate, pushed it onto Pako, and grinned, "You wear it!"

"Me?" Pako’s eyes widened, "But this is your plate armor."

"Didn’t you bring it here?" Monkey said nonchalantly, "Then you wear it."

"But... but you’re the squad leader..."

Monkey glared, showing the demeanor of a veteran, immediately shutting Pako up, "Will you wear it or not?"

Pako lowered his head.

Seeing this, Monkey directly put the breastplate on Pako, fastening the buttons and muttering, "Hey, giving you this, it’s a bit small... You’re a spearman, you need this more..."

Just then, a deep trumpet sound echoed.

Every Iron Peak County Soldier felt a chill, then shook themselves awake.

It was time to attack.

...

In the distance, the enemy had already recovered from the initial panic upon discovering the Iron Peak County Military, not just one military flag began moving slowly towards the valley exit, meaning the enemy commander was adjusting his deployment,

"Enough." Tamas did a final count of the troops and said to Bart Xialing: "No need to wait any longer."

The matter had come to this, and Bart Xialing said nothing more, he fastened his helmet: "Alright, I’ll lead the vanguard, you lead the rear guard."

"No." Tamas said lightly: "You’re more useful than me, I’ll lead the vanguard."

Saying that, without caring about the second battalion commander’s opinion, Tamas picked up his sword and strode towards the Iron Peak County’s formation.

Standing at the very front of the formation, looking at the faces of his subordinates, Tamas didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Encouraging troops wasn’t his strong suit. After a brief silence, he asked slowly but firmly:

"Under the command of Civil Guard Officer Montaigne, have you ever been defeated?"

The answer was an earth-shattering shout:

"No!"

The response was so loud that the battlefield’s noise was drowned out.

Those newly joined former prisoners of the Iron Peak County Military, many did not dare to speak up. But every "old soldier" shouted from the heart. Standing in the second line was Monkey, shouting especially loudly.

"Today." There was not a trace of hesitation in Tamas’ tone: "We will not be defeated either."

After saying that, he turned around, but paused for a moment, he then turned back.

This time, the captain’s eyes were filled with tears: "If you don’t know what you’re fighting for, fight for Winters Montagne!"

"Victory!" someone whispered.

"Victory!!" someone declared loudly.

"Victory!!!" Every Iron Peak County Soldier shouted with all their might.

Tamas drew his sword, threw away the scabbard, he didn’t enter the ranks, nor did he retreat to the rear of the formation, but stood in the very front, facing the enemy, leading them onto the battlefield:

"Forward!"

The thunderous war drums sounded, Iron Peak County infantry began the assault.
