Chapter 394: World Civil War (Part )

On top of the hill.

Wang Yao looked down coldly at the soldiers of the Federation who were all lying on the ground. After a long while, he said in a voice without any emotion, "Why did you all stop? You were very impressive just now. Even I was afraid of you. You are worthy of being soldiers of the Federation. You are so brave."

As he spoke, Wang Yao extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Don't worry about me, please continue your performance."

Faced with Wang Yao's seemingly calm words, which were actually full of cold murderous intent, the federal soldiers all looked at each other and dared not say a word!
In fact, even if the soldiers are dissatisfied with other heroes, Wang Yao's lofty status in their hearts can never be shaken, because Wang Yao, like them, was once just a soldier. It was also Wang Yao who told them the truth at the risk of the world, and it was Wang Yao who stepped forward and created this federal system with his own efforts, and devoted himself to the great mission of liberating them, the soldiers. For such a noble person, even if he is now on the same list as other heroes, he can still win the respect of all their soldiers.

"Very well, since you both don't want to make trouble anymore, then I have something to say."

Seeing that the federal soldiers were all silent, Wang Yao slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "I have always believed that what can destroy a person is not a low status or humble origin, but arrogance and prejudice!"

His eyes, like a sharp sword, swept through everyone one by one. Wherever he passed, the soldiers lowered their heads even lower.

"Put yourself in my shoes. I also feel sorry for your military career over the past few years. I also know that you have grudges and complaints. But!"

At this point, Wang Yao's voice suddenly turned cold: "After all, you are all still alive. The living can redress the dead, but please don't get too caught up in the drama. Many active heroes still don't know the truth about the canyon. They are actually just like you, and have been deceived by Jixia Academy. Even if they feel guilty towards the dead, they are not ashamed of you who are still alive!"

"Master!" A federal soldier suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I was originally a soldier of the Wu Kingdom. A year ago, my brother died in a war against the invasion of Fusang. Tell me, how can I let go of this hatred?"

Wang Yao's eyes shot towards the soldier, and after a three-second pause, he said coldly, "The war between Sanfendi and Fusang has lasted for hundreds of years. It is difficult to define who is right and who is wrong in the grudges and hatreds between them. But since you said that, I would like to ask you, since your hatred for Fusang is as deep as the sea, why can you now make peace with the former Fusang soldiers, but can't let go of your hostility towards Fusang heroes?"

"I!" The soldier was stunned for a moment, and when the words came to his mouth, he was suddenly speechless.

That's right, when Wang Yao just arrived, he found that many of the troops in front of him were former soldiers from Fuso; so in fact, the reason why the soldiers are now hostile to the heroes is not because of their hatred, but because of the many bad qualities of human nature.

Just like, people from grassroots backgrounds will envy those descendants of nobles who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. Even if they won’t say it on the surface, in their hearts they are actually cursing these rich kids to be unlucky and hit a wall, in order to gain psychological balance.

We are all born as human beings, so why can they enjoy all the glory and wealth? Why are heroes born destined? And even if we, the soldiers, fight for our whole lives, we can't even reach their starting line? This is unfair!
Those in a lower position will always look at those in a higher position with a subtle hostility and jealousy, especially when the other party has done nothing but is able to stand above everyone else. This is an indelible bad trait in human nature.

In fact, how could the soldiers be hostile to the heroes because of past hatred? After nearly a thousand years of war, the boundary between right and wrong in the Canyon War had long been blurred. Neither side had wronged the other, and there were times when they had killed the other side, and there were times when they had been killed by the enemy. Therefore, now, after learning the truth, they were just jealous of the good fortunes of these heroes in their hearts!
Of course, Wang Yao would not choose to expose the dark side of these soldiers' psychology on the spot. Since he had the ability to see into the hearts of the soldiers, he was naturally quite intelligent. He just said in a veiled way: "I said this just to remind you not to be blinded by psychological imbalance, and don't forget your original intention."

Afterwards, Wang Yao ignored the soldier who lowered his head silently and continued to speak to the crowd: "You should know that you are all standing here to create a peaceful and prosperous world without the smoke of war, for your own glory and the future of the next generation. But I think that it is precisely because of this that you should respect every hero in the Federation, rather than looking at them with arrogance and prejudice! Because in fact, even if all the heroes in the Federation know the truth, they can completely stay out of it. After all, what does your life and death have to do with them? They have no obligation to fight to the death with powerful hostile forces in this canyon for your future. Don’t you think so?"

After a pause, Wang Yao changed the subject and said sternly again: "But I believe you have all seen it with your own eyes. The heroes of the Federation did not choose to stand by and watch, but stood here to fight against the enemies of the Federation with you! But what about you? You are ungrateful and repay kindness with grievances! Is this how you treat your comrades and allies? Just based on this point, everyone present who intends to embarrass Ming Mei Lie Yan should be ashamed of it!"

The words were clear and powerful! Especially the last two words "shame", Wang Yao emphasized the tone, which moved Mai Shiranui who had just been harassed, and also made all the federal soldiers feel ashamed!

Indeed, regardless of whether the Federation heroes sincerely want to help the soldiers, at least in a broad sense, it is because of them that the Federation can gain a foothold in the world and the vast majority of soldiers have the possibility of turning things around. It is impossible to conquer the entire world relying solely on the soldiers, so in a sense, the heroes are also indirectly helping the soldiers, and this fact is beyond doubt!
But now, because of psychological imbalance, they have turned their spearheads towards their allies. From a moral point of view, this is indeed a shameful act.

“It seems that’s indeed the case.”

"The heroes of the Federation are indeed helping us."

"Maybe. We are indeed too extreme."

As more and more soldiers came to their senses, the leader of the troop, the captain, suddenly stood up and walked up to Mai Shiranui, saluted with an apologetic look: "I'm so sorry, Master Mai, we were rude just now, please forgive me!" Mai Shiranui was stunned for a moment. She looked at the captain in front of her, and suddenly a trace of indescribable luster flashed in her beautiful brown eyes, as if she was looking at a dying person. After a long while, she just replied indifferently: "It's okay."

At this moment, Wang Yao's voice came again -

"I believe that what happened here today will never happen again. So next, all soldiers must quickly assemble and attack the tower immediately!"

Wang Yao shouted in a voice that was so calm that it was a little scary: "As the ancients said, knowing shame leads to courage. I hope you can show the same momentum as before and kill everything that stands in your way, whether it's a defense tower or an enemy soldier! Even if you are as lowly as an ant, you must fight to the last moment with all your strength! For the honor of being a soldier, and for the sake of living to witness the peaceful and prosperous world created by you all together!"

"Follow orders!!"

The loud and clear response echoed through the sky at this moment and lasted for a long time!

All the federal soldiers present, under Wang Yao's mobilization, were like chicken blood, holding swords, and began to roar and swarm towards the second defense tower in the middle of Xuanyong!

Although they only had 500 soldiers left, they were not worried because they had three heroes on the scene at the moment. They firmly believed that capturing the enemy's second defense tower would be no problem at all!

At the same time, Sun Shangxiang, who was originally standing behind Wang Yao, jumped down the hillside, opened the safety of the Qianjin Heavy Crossbow and planned to go up to help.

What’s funny is that Wang Yao’s impassioned speech not only greatly boosted the morale of the federal soldiers, but also inexplicably aroused the passion of the young girl next to him, which was beyond Wang Yao’s expectations.

and so--

Just as Sun Shangxiang jumped down, a blue light flashed and Wang Yao appeared behind her and grabbed her.

Sun Shangxiang was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked subconsciously, "Why are you pulling me?"

Wang Yao asked calmly, "I should be the one asking this question. What do you want to do?"

"I'm going to help, what's wrong?" Sun Shangxiang, who was eager to try, looked at Wang Yao a little puzzled. Isn't this the best time for their heroes to help attack the tower?

However, facing Sun Shangxiang's puzzled look, Wang Yao simply said: "I told you, you can't move without my order, you stay here."

"Huh?!" Sun Shangxiang was stunned again, and it was not until this moment that she suddenly realized that Mai Shiranui did not move, as if she had discussed it with Wang Yao in advance.

"Are you stupid? Can 500 soldiers destroy the opponent's defense tower?" Sun Shangxiang was obviously dissatisfied, especially in the subtle way, she also began to think that helping the soldiers to create a prosperous world without the smoke and flames of war was a beautiful ideal.

So she really didn't understand why Wang Yao wouldn't let her go up and help tear down the tower.

result--

"It is indeed impossible." Wang Yao said in a voice that made Sun Shangxiang feel a little cold: "So, that enemy defense tower will be the end of those soldiers."

“What’s going on?” Sun Shangxiang was puzzled and didn’t understand what Wang Yao meant. But after only three seconds, she was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then as if struck by lightning, she widened her clear eyes and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief: “You, you want them to die?”

For some reason, at this moment, Sun Shangxiang actually saw a layer of cold haze that prevented even the sun from penetrating from Wang Yao’s hideous ghost mask!

However, Wang Yao subconsciously avoided Sun Shangxiang's extremely pure eyes and looked coldly in the direction of the quiet Xuanyong Plateau.

"Don't say such harsh words. I just want them to fulfill their duties as soldiers."
