"I should thank you for remembering me.
"You've gone through a lot since I left.
"I also owe you guys an apology."
Sean sighed and raised his glass.
"Commander, we're willing to ensure!"
The crowd raised their glasses with earnest eyes.
Sean's eyes looked around. There were eighteen people, some of whom he could name, some of whom he was familiar with but did not know their names.
However, he could see sincerity and seriousness in their eyes.
Some of these people were single. Some had families and even children.
However, they would be there as long as Sean needed them.
"That's alright. Let's drink first."
Sean said no more and toasted the crowd.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, several people were slightly drunk.
After the crowd got drunk, they relaxed and were more talkative.
"Commander, we did not have to face the same danger as before after we were discharged from the army. But this isn't the life we want!"
"We haven't had an easy life since you left..."
"Blaze is incompetent and a poor leader. All he does is promote his henchmen and send our brothers to their deaths. He doesn't deserve the position!"
"In my last battle before I was discharged, he ordered an attack that lost 50,000 men when we could have evacuated. Kyler died trying to save me."
When the crowd spoke, they clenched their teeth, feeling grief and anger.
Everyone was afraid of death.
However, they put their fears behind them to protect their country.
However, they were afraid to die in vain!
They would have been willing to die with their enemies, but they had all given away their lives for nothing under Blaze's command.
How could they not feel resentful and angry?
"Do you believe in me?"
Sean raised a glass of wine and asked, looking at the crowd.
"Yes! Of course!"
The crowd nodded without hesitation.
"All your grievances, sweat, and blood, won't be in vain.
"I will also get justice for our comrades who have died.
"But these things take some time."
Sean rose slowly and promised earnestly.
"We're willing to wait!"
"Let us know if you need anything, Commander!"
The crowd expressed their attitude. Not one of them hesitated.
