Chapter 445: The World Chapter: The Eternal Sinner!
In a sense, there are not only enemy troops, but also hidden talents in the federal army. At least Ruan Xian's talent is no less than Shang Yang of the Xuanyong Army!
His strategic and psychological analysis of Wang Yao were extremely accurate, and he almost completely guessed Wang Yao's true intention behind the decision of the "massacre order".

This is the continent of kings; perhaps in terms of physical mechanism, the soldiers are destined to never be able to compete with the heroes, but among them, there are still many generals who are not inferior to the heroes in wisdom and strategy.

just
Even though she finally knew the deeper meaning behind this tragedy and had a general understanding of Wang Yao's difficulties, Sun Shangxiang still felt a little bit upset.

"But, don't you think that what these soldiers have experienced so far is too pitiful?"

Hearing this, Ruan Xian was stunned. He looked at Sun Shangxiang with a strange look. After a while -

"Yes, I sympathize with their plight." Ruan Xian agreed, but said, "But I still firmly believe that my Federation Army did nothing wrong, and the Alliance Leader did nothing wrong. This world does not allow the weak to be right. Do you agree with this, my Lord?"

These words were obviously sarcasm.

Yeah, because that's the truth!

Looking back at the past, how did the heroes treat the soldiers? Before Wang Yao showed up, had they ever received any sympathy or compassion from the heroes when they were so weak?

These words left Sun Shangxiang completely speechless.

But Ruan Xian, for some reason, began to get excited.

"After all, is it all our fault that led to this result? At the beginning, the leader tried to persuade them with kind words and even came to the front to persuade them to take off their armor and surrender, but what did he get in return? He only laughed and insulted them! Miss, you said they are pitiful, but so many of our brothers and sisters died in the process of attacking the enemy, aren't they pitiful? Who will pity us now? Our dead relatives are also buried under this land! You say we are worse than beasts? But have you visited the families of our soldiers? The leader visited them after the war, do you know how he felt at that time?!"

I don’t know if it’s because he is dissatisfied with Sun Shangxiang’s performance from the beginning to now, but when he said this, Ruan Xian obviously mixed in a hint of personal emotion.

"The leader did not let us act recklessly, and advised us everywhere. We did not use all kinds of means to torture them to death, but followed the leader's wishes and gave them the most dignified death. Isn't that enough?! To tell you the truth, if the leader did not take the lead in issuing the massacre order, the enemy's fate would be even more miserable! If not, how can we quell the anger of the soldiers? How can we vent the anger of the people?! What if improper handling leads to a mutiny and the federation falls apart? You have been with the leader for so long, why can't you understand this truth?!"

Under Ruan Xian's angry pressure, Sun Shangxiang, as a hero, unconsciously retreated step by step!

She suddenly understood why Wang Yao said that she was simple and naive when they were on the lonely peak, because in fact, even a mere soldier understood more clearly than she did!

She also realized for the first time that the most terrifying thing was not this war, but that both sides were not wrong!

Yes, in fact, Wang Yao never wanted to do so.
But if we don't do this, I'm afraid that more soldiers will die in the subsequent wars, and then someone will have to be the bad guy, so in the end Wang Yao chose to bear all of this, bear the infamy, bear the sin, and bear the weight of tens of millions of lives! This is the most correct and helpless decision for a decision maker.
At this moment, the girl finally became powerless and slowly sat on the ground with her back against a big rock, falling into deep thought.

Seeing this, Ruan Xian finally returned to normal.

"I'm sorry, Miss. My words were too harsh. Please forgive me for the offense I just caused." Ruan Xian knelt on one knee in front of Sun Shangxiang with great respect.

Sun Shangxiang just shook her head slightly, because Ruan Xian was not wrong. It was true that the fate of the Xuanyong soldiers was tragic, but the federal army, which also suffered heavy losses in this war, was equally pitiful.
They are all ordinary people, they all have wives, children, elder relatives, brothers and sisters. Who has the right to accuse them of being excessive?
Just when Sun Shangxiang was speechless, Ruan Xian's voice came again.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, but Miss, I have something else to ask of you."

Sun Shangxiang raised her eyes and looked at Ruan Xian: "Tell me, I will help you within my ability."

Ruan Xian shook his head and said, "No, you don't need to help us."

At this point, Ruan Xian smiled bitterly: "We have become accustomed to being insignificant, because we are born as soldiers, no one will care about us, and our end is just to slowly die in history, and finally lose all evidence of having lived. This is our fate."

It’s hard to imagine how helpless and humble a person must be to say such words!
Sun Shangxiang's body trembled slightly, and then her eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red; she seemed to finally begin to understand why Wang Yao, who was also a soldier, was so determined to end the war.

"Who do you want me to help? Tell me."

"Help the Lord Alliance Leader." In the surprised eyes of Sun Shangxiang, Ruan Xian chuckled and said, "Perhaps you yourself have not realized that you are actually the only one in the Federation who can talk to the Alliance Leader. So, please agree to my next request. If you do so, it will be worth it even if I die a thousand times."

After a pause, Ruan Xian sighed deeply, "You know, most people tend to judge another person only by appearance. They will always believe what they see, and will not delve into the real reasons behind it. This is human nature. So after this war, in the eyes of those who are ignorant or too idealistic, the leader has become an eternal sinner. He ordered the soldiers to slaughter hundreds of thousands of prisoners. He is inhumane, vicious and cruel. This is his crime."

Sun Shangxiang quickly said, "Then he can actually explain it to the outside world, right?"

"Explain? To whom?" Ruan Xian said with a bitter smile, "As I said before, will anyone listen? Will anyone be willing to believe the words of a demon whose hands are stained with the blood of hundreds of thousands of people? Besides, if we explain, what is the meaning of what we are doing now? No, Miss, people will only believe the 'truth' they want to see, and in this world, there has never been anything perfect."

As Sun Shangxiang's expression instantly became dejected, Ruan Xian continued, "Of course, this is not what I want to say. What I really want to talk about is the leader's current state."

Sun Shangxiang was startled again, then asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with him?"

"Yes." Ruan Xian nodded worriedly: "Perhaps in the eyes of you heroes, you can only see his current strength and cruelty, but in fact, you don't even realize that under his calm appearance, he is actually almost overwhelmed by all this. You didn't notice it, did you?"

Sun Shangxiang was speechless for a moment. At least she had never tried to consider Wang Yao from this perspective.

In the silence of the girl, Ruan Xian continued, "In fact, you should know the leader better than me. He is not a heartless person, nor a bloodthirsty devil. But he is such a person, but now he pretends to be so cold-blooded and ruthless, and then watched with his own eyes that countless soldiers died tragically under his orders, and countless families were completely broken up. Although everything is helpless, even until now, no one has given him even a little affirmation, and told him that he is right to do so. Some people only question and abuse him endlessly. Even you, as the actual companion of the leader, haven't you just been questioning him from the beginning? Has anyone cared about him?"

The more Sun Shangxiang listened, the deeper her face buried itself unconsciously; it was indeed true, in fact, they had been saying that Wang Yao had changed, but she had never thought about one thing, that is, Wang Yao had never changed, he was still the same person.

The kind soldier who has compassion for the world, hates war, and sympathizes with all kinds of people
Ruan Xian sighed softly again: "The leader has been carrying pressure that ordinary people can hardly imagine. In this endless stream of doubts, insults, and misunderstandings, you may not know how fragile a person can be. He has actually been suffering. But have you ever thought about it? Without the disguise of a hero, the leader is essentially just a soldier. Unlike you naturals, he is just an ordinary person at a young age. He has a more sensitive feeling and a deeper understanding of this world, and these things have now become the source of his pain."

The girl opened her sparkling eyes wide and looked at the soldier in front of her. Although his status was not as noble as hers, he was already an old man over 45 years old. She was speechless for a long time.

Ruan Xian continued, "I am just a small soldier. I don't know if it is because you heroes are born strong that you are blind and indifferent to some emotions. Maybe in your eyes, heroes should be strong as a matter of course. No matter how fragile a person is, how can he be bound by those worldly things? Yes, after all, you have been high above since you were born, supported and worshipped by the world like ants. You have the supreme power of life and death, so in your cognition, there is actually no such word as psychological trauma. This is why, although you are the companions of the leader, you have never cared about his mental condition."

Having said this, Ruan Xian suddenly knelt heavily in front of Sun Shangxiang and made an extremely sincere and sorrowful request.

"In fact, as fellow soldiers, we can all feel that the Alliance Master's psychological endurance has almost reached its limit! Because of the fundamental gap, we have no qualifications and methods to comfort the Alliance Master, so I beg you, Miss, to guide him at an appropriate opportunity, at least, to let the Alliance Master feel relieved a little bit. If he continues to hold on under such high pressure, the Alliance Master, who has already been exhausted, may not have much time left. This is the request of us, all the soldiers and officers of the Federation Corps. We are willing to fight for the Alliance Master, go through fire and water for the Federation, and devote our lives to creating peace, just to create a brand new world for future generations. So we don't want the Alliance Master to die because of too much depression in the end! Please!!"

Ruan Xian pressed his forehead deeply to the ground, trembling with fear and sincerity.

And Sun Shangxiang.

"I promise you!"

He nodded vigorously and agreed to the request.

In fact, after she understood everything, even if Ruan Xian didn't say anything, she would try to comfort Wang Yao, at least to make him feel better.
"In that case, I feel relieved. On behalf of all my colleagues in the Federation, I would like to thank you, Miss!"

Ruan Xian stood up and saluted Sun Shangxiang again, then turned around and walked back to the river bank step by step.

But this time, Sun Shangxiang did not stop him, and there was no reason to stop him.
However, just as Ruan Xian took two steps——

A sudden change occurred!

Whoosh!!
Along with a sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air, a dark golden spear had already cut straight through the sky, and then with a terrifying force that could tear apart space, it smashed into the river bank like a comet.

Guboom!!
In an instant, debris flew everywhere and smoke billowed up. Although the force of this attack strangely did not cause any casualties, its extremely powerful air wave blew away hundreds of federal soldiers in the range in an instant!
The people haven't arrived yet, but the spears have arrived first!
