Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire - Chapter 679

Generations of Traditions

The burly man was naturally not Moore’s opponent.

After a while, he lay on the ground with a swollen face.

“You can’t die. You still have to go back and report to Vice-Admiral Kuro.”

Moore whistled at the strong man on the ground and turned back.

“So, what are you going to do? Are you going back with me?”

David looked at Wallis, who had fainted in his arms, and shook his head. “Wallis has fainted. I have to take him to treatment first.”

With that, he paused and looked outside and said, “You should go quickly. It’s not good to let people see Marine kill someone other than pirates.”

Moore also looked in that direction, scratched his head, and mentioned the strong man.

“That’s true. Then I’ll leave first and come back to you. Don’t die. If you die and Lieutenant General Kuro remembers you, it will be difficult for me to report.”

With a swish, he turned into a ball of white light and disappeared.

David watched Moore disappear and shook his head with a bitter smile. “Ability users… are really convenient.”

Not long after Moore disappeared, a large number of footsteps sounded from the direction they were looking at.

“Quick! This way!”

With that, a group of people rushed over.

The leader was actually an old woman. At this moment, she was charging faster than anyone else.

“Granny?”

David was stunned for a moment. This mother-in-law was someone he knew. She was the one who had thrown the trash at him just now.

In the crowd, a little boy pointed to the ruins in front of him and shouted:

“That’s it! I just saw it. Wallis and David are surrounded!”

“Who dares to bully David! No one can bully David!”

Granny’s face was ferocious, but soon she saw the body lying in front of her.

In the center of the corpse, David was holding Wallis and his hand hung down weakly. Only then did the aura of the ferocious wolf head disappear.

At this scene, a few people in the crowd immediately changed their expressions.

“Granny? Why are you here?” David was stunned.

“I saw it!”

The little boy said, “I saw many people with weapons to deal with you, so I went home to call for help.”

David looked at everyone. These people were all his neighbors. All of them looked serious as if something big had happened.

Most importantly, they all had weapons in their hands.

Flintlock guns, spears, swords, not to mention wooden sticks, there was not even a pitchfork.

They were all excellent weapons.

They are just civilians, where did they get the weapons?

“You…”

David was about to ask when he suddenly saw his mother-in-law pointing shakily at the body next to David. “Did you do it?”

There was a faint anticipation in her words.

David thought for a moment. He couldn’t say that Marines had done it. That Marine had saved him once and he still seemed like a good guy.

They were now in the territory of the Dressrosa Kingdom. Marines did not kill pirates. It would be a little troublesome to get involved. He could not let the Vice-Admiral who protected them get into trouble.

Admit it!

“Yes, I made it.” David nodded.

Plop.

As soon as he finished speaking, a few people in the crowd knelt down first.

Among these people were Granny, Wallis’s father, and the hooligan from before.

“Granny, what are you doing?!” David exclaimed.

“Finally, finally…”

Granny’s face was full of tears. “Pan Sha, you have finally awakened!”

Hearing this, the adults standing nearby all knelt down.

“Awakened, then…”

The hooligan was also in tears. He held his long knife and aimed it at his abdomen. “Please forgive me for my offense!”

As he spoke, the knife cut into his abdomen.

David ran over quickly and kicked the knife out of his hand. “What are you doing!”

Even though he reacted quickly, the long blade still sank in a lot. As it was kicked away, blood flowed out of the abdomen of the person.

“Everything is to awaken you.”

Beside him, Granny raised her pistol and pointed it at her head. She said indifferently, “Since the goal has been achieved, those of us who insulted Pansa are naturally not qualified to live.”

Bang!

David swung his foot again and kicked the gun out of Granny’s hand.

The others also raised their weapons and aimed at themselves.

They were all adults, and the child who called them at the beginning looked confused.

“Everything is for atonement, my lord…”

Wallis’s father smiled and said, “I’m sorry that you and your ancestors have been wronged all these years. Please take the glory of Pansa and work hard.”

“Dad, Dad?”

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

Wallis, who was in David’s arms, woke up and saw his father pointing a weapon at him. He looked like he was about to commit suicide.

Wallis’s voice made the man stop what he was doing. He looked at Wallis gently and suddenly said:

“I also have a presumptuous request. Please don’t blame the children. At their current age, they can’t know the truth yet. Everything they do is just influenced by us. This has been passed down from generation to generation.”

“But now, it seems that there is no need. My lord, you have awakened. In the future, these children will be your attendants.”

“Dad, what are you talking about?”

Looking at his usually fierce father kneeling there and talking like he was saying his last words, Wallis was obviously a little stunned.

But at this moment, he had already gripped his weapon and was about to stab himself.

At the same time, the others also did the same thing.

“Stop… for me!!!”

At this moment, David’s pupils shrank and his wolf head breath rose as he stared at the people present.

Under this aura, everyone froze and stopped their hands.

“What are you doing!”

David said solemnly, “What do you know?!”

“This aura… Sir, you really didn’t hide it. It’s awakened, it’s awakened…”

Granny murmured in relief and said, “We are your followers, Pansa’s followers. Since 800 years ago, we have followed Pansa for generations.”

“Follower?”

David frowned and said: “Impossible! Pansa was defeated eight hundred years ago!”

“That’s not defeat.”

Granny shook her head and sighed. “For the past 800 years, we don’t know how it happened. My mother told me… ‘That’s not a defeat, it’s Pansa losing his fighting spirit. Our mission is to let Pansa regain his fighting spirit.’”

“So, the only purpose of us followers is to restore your fighting spirit through insults.”

“From the past, your father, your grandfather, and your ancestors have all been like this.”

“Generations after generations, we will learn the truth when we become adults. We will protect you while thinking of ways to let Pansa awaken again.”

“But unfortunately, they did not awaken their fighting spirit. Only you, only in your generation, have rekindled their fighting spirit.”

“Pansa, my lord…”

Granny looked at David and said: “You should know better than us the real history of eight hundred years ago.”
