Chapter 193 See you in the next life!
Wang Yao's chest was heaving violently. He forced himself to take a deep breath in an attempt to calm his confused mind, but the air was not fresh. It was filled with a strong and choking smell of blood.
“If you have the guts, come at me! You are an unrivaled demon, but you don’t dare to fight against a soldier like me head-on, but you use a group of soldiers who have already lost all their resistance as a threat. What kind of hero are you?!” Wang Yao pointed his sword at Lu Bu with red eyes.
The hysterical roar spread throughout the silent highlands, yet it seemed so helpless.
Facing Wang Yao's questioning and scolding, Lu Bu was not only indifferent, but even wanted to laugh: "I know you are good at speaking, it doesn't matter, I will not argue with you this time. However."
After a pause, Lu Bu's expression suddenly darkened: "Now it seems that you still don't understand?"
Next, reflected in Wang Yao's frightened eyes was the reflection of Lu Bu raising his hand again. And this time, it was a larger-scale massacre!
Except for Maomao and Shi Liang, all the remaining soldiers of the Seventh Main Force were forced to kneel on the ground and were killed!
Amid the cries, countless sharp sword blades cut open the necks of the blue-armored soldiers. Wang Yao watched the heads with familiar faces rolling on the ground and piling up into a small hill right before his eyes. He suddenly felt a fear as if he was falling into an abyss. A deep sense of powerlessness gradually numbed Wang Yao's limbs.
Over the past six months, he has been through many hardships, survived many desperate situations, and endured countless moral tortures and accusations on battlefields littered with corpses. He has come to this day after going through countless hardships.
As he had more and more equipment, he once thought that even if he couldn't compete with the heroes, he could at least protect himself and the people he cherished. But the scene before him explained to him how stupid it was for a soldier to have such an idea in this canyon! Especially when he saw Maomao's sad eyes holding back tears from afar, all his stubbornness and courage collapsed at this moment.
Bang!
The dark golden endless war blade was thrown at Wang Yao's feet, along with the armor-piercing bow.
This action stunned tens of thousands of Wei's black soldiers on the high ground. Everyone looked at Wang Yao in extreme shock, with complicated and subtle expressions.
In fact, after the battle with Xiahou Dun, no black soldier dared to underestimate Wang Yao even as an enemy.
"Why didn't the soldier run away?"
A young black soldier in the Black Tide Army murmured in disbelief.
"The opponent is our Lord Lu Bu. If we throw away all our weapons, then what will happen?"
"Shut up, rookie! Do you know what comradeship is? If you see your comrades in life and death situations, would you desert the battlefield?" An older black soldier shouted with a complicated expression.
"Of course I will share weal and woe with them! But..." The young black soldier swallowed and couldn't help but look at the Shu soldier in the center of the field. That stubborn figure was permanently imprinted in the young black soldier's heart.
After a long time, the young black soldier sighed and said, "It's just not worth it. If I were as strong as him, I would swallow my anger and avenge my comrades when I become stronger in the future."
Lu Bu and Wang Yao did not hear the whispers of the black soldiers, but the people around them who heard it were all silent. Perhaps in the eyes of the black soldiers, such behavior was indeed stupid.
Is this stupid?
Maybe.
Wang Yao, who had already 'given up treatment', raised his head silently and stared blankly at the blue sky above his head.
For some reason, at this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had often seen similar plots in movies before; why did the protagonists in the movies stubbornly choose to surrender when faced with enemies threatening the lives of their companions, even though they clearly had a chance to survive?
Wang Yao didn’t understand in the past, and even often laughed at their stupidity, the kind that was extremely stupid!
But now, Wang Yao seemed to finally understand.
Gently exhaling the turbid air that was squeezed in his chest, Wang Yao turned his gaze to Maomao and Shi Liang who were kneeling on the ground in the distance. Looking at Maomao's extremely panicked and fragile tearful face, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he gave the magical girl an ugly smile to comfort her.
For so long, they have lived together day and night, trusted each other with life and death, and ate from the same pot in the barracks. From ordinary soldiers to centurions and thousand-man commanders, they have come a long way. They are the 17th Vanguard Squadron and have long been each other's most important friends.
Ono was already dead, and he didn't want to lose someone he loved again.
Maomao and Shi Liang were both ordinary soldiers with only one life. Perhaps in the future, he could kill Lu Bu a hundred or a thousand times, but so what? As a hero, Lu Bu could be resurrected indefinitely, but Maomao and the others could never come back to life.
A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years? Then what? The enemy will be immortal, while he will suffer from loneliness forever. That is the cruelest and saddest ending.
Haha, stupid is stupid! As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up, even if it means risking his life.
Wang Yao took off his attack equipment and looked at Lu Bu. He asked in a hoarse voice: "What should I do so that you can let them go?"
“Ha, that’s right!” Seeing Wang Yao give up struggling and letting himself be manipulated, Lu Bu finally grinned: “It seems that you finally understand that it’s not what I want to do, but what you should do. You have a good understanding!”
At this moment, Lu Bu's face was full of pride. He had been longing for this moment for a long time, but now, he was not in a hurry.
"Do you know why I wanted to keep these two soldiers?"
Lu Bu pointed at Maomao and Shi Liang who were kneeling in front of him and said, "Someone told me that the other soldiers may not be strong enough to make you surrender, but these two are your closest comrades. As long as they are in your hands, they can order you to do anything! Although I have always disdained the so-called brotherhood of you soldiers, I am still very curious about how far you can go for them." At this point, Lu Bu touched his chin, as if thinking for a while, and then smiled and said, "By the way, kneel down first, and then call me daddy. As long as I am happy, I can let your two comrades go."
Wang Yao's body trembled slightly as if he had been electrocuted.
Kneel down and call daddy?
He had also been teased by some low-quality players in the game before, just like he was doing now, and he always smiled it off indifferently. But when these words were brought into reality, he couldn't laugh at all, and even his face turned pale.
Snap, snap.
Amid the sound of heavy footsteps, Xiahou Dun, who was knocked flying by Wang Yao's knee, had walked to Lu Bu's side, covering his swollen and red nose.
Xiahou Dun saw everything that happened just now.
"Killing is not the right thing to do. You wouldn't humiliate a small soldier like this, would you?" Xiahou Dun said. Of course, despite saying that, there was no emotion on his handsome face. He was neither begging for mercy for Wang Yao, nor did he feel sympathy for him or couldn't bear it.
Heroes never show mercy to a soldier.
However, as an extremely warlike and straightforward hero, Xiahou Dun felt that it was completely meaningless to humiliate someone in this way.
Lu Bu, who was in high spirits, glanced back at Xiahou Dun and said coldly, "Get lost! Do you know how this soldier treated me before?"
After saying this, Lu Bu turned back and fiddled with his gauntleted hands while threateningly asking, "What? What are you still doing standing there? Do you want me to teach you the rules of the game again?!"
Lu Bu's voice was like a sharp blade, piercing the heart.
"As long as I kneel down, you will let them go?" Wang Yao took a deep breath. Although he was unwilling, he was still prepared.
"That depends on whether I am satisfied or not." Lu Bu said.
"Okay, I kneel." Wang Yao's lips moved slightly, and he forced his knees, which were as hard as cast steel, to kneel down slowly: "You are a hero, I hope you will keep your word and not break it in front of so many soldiers!"
With an unyielding knee, holding on to a glimmer of hope, he slowly pointed toward the ground.
However, just as Wang Yao was about to kneel down, something happened that was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Wang Yao! A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated! If you dare to kneel down, I will despise you for the rest of my life!!"
The hoarse roar suddenly resounded throughout the Highland Square!
The black soldiers were in an uproar, and Wang Yao's body froze instantly.
"Shi Liang." Maomao looked at Shi Liang who was kneeling beside her and suddenly burst into tears. The tears that had stopped flowing out again uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry, Maomao." Shi Liang looked at Maomao deeply, and there was a tenderness that he had never shown before on his bloodstained face.
Then, he straightened his spine and shouted at Wang Yao who was already stunned in the distance: "Don't f*cking act like a stray dog and disgust others! This is not like your usual self at all!! Don't forget, you are the captain of our 7th main force, and the brother I rely on most in my life, and the soldier I respect the most! Even if I die, I will never allow you to kneel before these inhuman monsters!!"
These words were so powerful that they were as deafening as thunder!
The sudden scene left all the black soldiers of the Wei Army completely dumbfounded.
At this critical moment, no one would have thought that the captured soldier, who should have been at the mercy of others, would suddenly break out and tell the world with great courage that soldiers should not only have glory, but also dignity!
As an ordinary soldier, he may not be able to express his anger and protest through actions, so dying bravely becomes his only way of expression.
The world became quiet. On the high ground wall, an old man was silent and gently closed his eyes.
And almost at the same time, the extremely sharp halberd blade fell down mercilessly.
At the last moment of his life, Shi Liang stared at Wang Yao in the distance and smiled calmly: "I'm leaving now. See you in the next life!"
Chi-
Hot blood spurted out, and the head with a blatant smile rolled into the dust along with the powerless body that fell, staining the ground with a shocking red.
