Zhang Chao looked at the city wall that was blackened by the flames, and the lifelike sunbird flag on it was still fluttering, but in Zhang Chao's opinion, its original fiery red flag had turned blood red, and the eagle of the divine horse had become a ghost eagle from hell.

It was a blood-stained steel sun, not a radiance that shone on all things.

There was a strong scorching smell in the air, and the female soldiers who had been following him before coughed, looking at the charred corpses, they could no longer distinguish their faces, only the bones and blackened armor were still scattered around the shriveled void insect corpses.

"Woo-" The young female soldier cried, she was one of the two fierce soldiers that Zhang Chao had rescued from the siege beast earlier.

Pu Jia hugged her, and her eyes were moist.

"Thank you. The female soldier patted Zhang Chao's shoulder, and she could feel the confusion in his heart.

"Thank you for what I did, I'm just a megalomaniac, I said that I would bring you all back, just a moment ago, I was thinking, more than a dozen people died, I broke my promise. Zhang Chao smiled bitterly, facing away from the dim sun, shadows cast on his face, unable to see any emotion.

"But I never thought that in just a moment, dozens of people died tragically in front of me. ”

"The boiling grease, the boiling flames, I saw with my own eyes a soldier of the fierce army, his eyes wide in the flames, stretched out his hand, and thirsted for my help. ”

"What kind of pain is it that goes crazy with pain, being licked by the flames of every inch of skin?"

"I don't know, but I know it must have hurt, it hurts. ”

"She is so young, it is when she is young, she has not yet married a wife, she has not met her longing lover, she has not held a baby, she has enjoyed her family, she has not ...... Didn't do much, many things. ”

"The world is wonderful, the north is the polar region, snow-capped and unmelting, the south is a desert that stretches for thousands of miles, full of gold, the east is a sea with surging waves and a thousand sails racing, and in the west there are forests, lush and green, and everything is alive, but she will never see it again. ”

"But war, where there are immortals, I know, I understand, and I can accept it. ”

Zhang Chao's voice paused, a little astringent, everyone looked at him quietly, did not speak, only the crackling flames were still swaying sporadically.

"It's just that I could have saved her. ”

Zhang Chao's shoulders suddenly trembled, at first, when he first arrived in this world, he thought it was just an illusory projection, until later, he fell in love with Irelia, and with Aoba, Rengar, he witnessed many people he cherished.

His mentality has changed compared to that time, and he knows that this world is real, every life is alive, and it is a living person who can create his own wonderful.

He could no longer see them as illusory.

"But she's just one person, so I chose you. ”

I distinctly remember the longing and pleading on her face when she saw me, but in an instant, I shattered her expectations. ”

I didn't dare to look at her desperate expression. ”

He turned his head and stared at the fierce soldiers who were gradually lowering their heads, his face dyed orange in the setting sun.

"I'm not blaming you, but I'm asking myself what was in my mind when I made this instinctive decision, and what does that really mean?"

"Does that mean that on the city wall, the commander blatantly threw boiling hot oil and hellish fire to send us into a desperate situation in order to save more people?"

"Meaning, we're damned?!"

"Meaning, when we touch the lives of five hundred people, we should be killed and die in the flames of despair and pain?!"

His cloak was completely scorched by the flames, dragging behind him, which looked a little funny, but the soldiers of the Fierce Army did not pay attention to this, and low sobs rang out in the crowd.

"Sister Vichy is also dead. A female soldier cried loudly.

"And Sister Fang Fei, candlelight, Lianchen ......" someone muttered to himself, looking blankly at the charred corpse, and the distance, gradually converging into a high platform of void insect swarms.

"Sister!" Suddenly someone ran into a pile of dry bones in embarrassment, she burst the charred corpse and cried bitterly, it was her own sister, for her, she was willing to give up the chance to live, and pushed her into Zhang Chao's arms at the last moment.

And herself, right in front of her eyes, was engulfed in flames and turned into a burning torch in an instant.

She wept mournfully, howling and screaming, like a cuckoo crying blood.

Zhang Chao's expression revealed a hint of sadness, he remembered the woman, the woman who still had a smile on her face even when she was finally engulfed in flames.

"So I wanted to ask!"

"I want to ask everyone in the city!"

"I want to ask for the death squads that have died at the hands of you so-called own people for countless years. ”

Zhang Chao took a deep breath, and then suddenly shouted his question towards the sky, the thousands of troops at the head of the city, and the vast world.

"Can one person's death be exchanged for a hundred lives?!"

Suddenly, the clouds and mist rolled upside down, and the wind raged, and his voice turned into a great force that devoured everything in this violent wind, and all his emotions were vented in the heavens and the earth.

"Can one person die for a hundred lives?!" he trembled and roared again, this time not questioning, but mourning himself, since you yourself instinctively chose to save many people instead of one.

Then why do you blame others?!

Because he himself, like the cold-blooded commander, made the same choice, what right did he have to question others?

"Big sister!" Nanyin said in surprise.

Rui Wen walked quickly to the top of the city, looking at the figure standing on the edge of the corpse of the giant beast, as small as an ant, but as proud as an angry god.

She covered her mouth, and her eyes instantly moistened.

"He's not dead...... Great! He's not dead!"

The crow was also happy: "I know, how could Zhang Chao be burned to death by this broken fire so easily!"

Before, the girl who was replaced by Zhang Chao from the death squad looked at the figure below fixedly, and suddenly burst into tears.

"He's alive, it's great. ”

"Really good. ”

A smile appeared on her expressionless face, just like the warm sun in winter, which was even more touching because it was rare.

When she bent her bow, she stood up and tried to stop everyone, but she couldn't stop so many people, she was too weak, and besides, she didn't like to communicate with people, and no one in the army had a very good relationship with her.

So in such a moment, no one will stand up for her.

Because, if that fire hadn't been set off, those void swarms would reach the city walls, and more of them would have died.

Of course, it is worth it to exchange the deaths of fifty people for five hundred lives, because they are among the five hundred! )
