A bunch of the lower-level soldiers that were gathered around looked at each other and at their superiors, trying to judge whether the words coming out of Alex were in any way true.
"He is currently on his way to the Azure Dragon's secret realm, and you're going to just let him?" Alex asked. "He and the Empress were responsible for the Azure Dragon's death 70 years ago."
"Don't listen to him," one of them said. "Do not listen to the enemy's words. That is the first thing you should remember during the war."
A bunch of discordant yeses came from the soldiers that were getting confused. Their look of confusion faded away and a look of determination filled them instead.
'Shit!' Alex thought. He was relying on some of the Eastern Continent's army to turn against each other to hopefully win the war, but it seemed as though that was not happening.
At least, it wasn't going to happen on a small scale like this.
