Chapter 34: An epoch-making turn

At this time, it was not that Zhao Yu wanted to interject anything, but he was really excited now. Before Shen Mengting could give an answer, he actually answered one step ahead.

"That's because...... The people of Sauron have never treated us as a matter of life. Each of their officials will only care about their own career. For them, human life is absolutely not important, whether they can complete the task and return to receive the reward is the most important thing. That's why they won't care about my mother's life, as long as they don't agree with them a little, they will kill the killer!" Zhao Yu's breath seemed to be holding back, and even his face was a little damp [River Crab] red.

Shen Mengting couldn't help but glance at him, and her expression also revealed sympathy, "This is Sauron's temperament. They often don't even care about the lives of people in their own country in order to accomplish something, so what about us Saran?"

The townsfolk began to let out a series of surprises. But in the end, it has also become a mode of lamentation and regret.

Shen Mengting knew that the time had come, and after she glanced at the townspeople around her cursoryly, she immediately straightened down at an extremely fast speed.

"That's the key I'm going to talk about here!" she waved her hands behind her back, "The invasion of the Sauron Empire isn't just about the officials of Saran. It's about everyone in this room, and your family!"

Shen Mengting's speech was quite word-for-word, she just wanted to pierce the eardrums of every townsman with what she wanted to express.

"The Saurons have decided that they are not the humans you imagined them to be, they are insidious and extremely selfish. They can do whatever it takes to achieve their ends. Zhao Yu's family is the biggest example. Do you think they won't do anything to you civilians after they annex Saran, and do you think they're going to let you go on the grounds that they're all human?"

When Shen Mengting's hand was lowered from behind her back, she suddenly clicked her index finger a few times forward, "I'll tell you right now, you are very wrong. The people of Sauron will never be soft on you because they are all human, and perhaps they will pretend to be very kind. But...... If you don't listen to their bureaucrats, they will be revealed. Zhao Yu's mother is a case in point! she was just reluctant to tell the whereabouts of the son of the Sauron, and she was brutally murdered. Do you still have illusions about the Saurons, or even the evil empire?"

As soon as Shen Mengting's words were finished, the scene fell into silence again. This was enough to show how big the impact of her current words was, and it had shocked almost every Saran townsfolk present.

"You guys think well!" Shen Mengting began to shake her body slowly, and her mouth was tilted to a certain side at an inopportune time, "Stay out of the matter, and try not to let your children participate in the battle, Zheng Ke, have you ever thought that if you are annexed by the Sauron Empire in the future, will your children survive the war? The other three human countries annexed by Sauron, how are they living now?Haven't you all heard of it? Even if the ordinary townspeople haven't heard of it, I want to ...... A few officials must have seen the world, right! Haven't you seen the misery of being annexed by the Sauron Empire?"

Shen Mengting's multiple questions were swept away from her mouth, just like a bow and arrow fired in bursts. At the same time, most of the officials had an inexplicable rapid gasp. It can be seen that they are very uneasy at the moment.

"Not only the officials of the original country, but also the common people are also unsafe, this is the tragic situation that everyone who is annexed by the Sauron Empire will face......! Will we, the Saran Kingdom, follow in the footsteps of these three human nations?"

Silence continued, and the townsfolk did not respond with words or actions.

In the successive silent environment, Zhao Yu chose to continue to help. He raised his staff again, but this time he didn't emit a magical airflow, "I don't want to! I don't want to see our country be annexed by the Sauron Empire!"

Zhao Yu's repeated actions still infected some people around him, and Qian Hao was naturally one of them. He took a look around and ran out of the area.

"Well, I don't want to. I'm such a person, I won't want to! I'm a general, but ...... Alas, I was just a civilian a few months ago! You may not believe it, but ...... But ......," Qian Hao scratched his head in embarrassment, "but my enthusiasm for serving the country is no less than that of others." Well, that's it!"

"Me too!" Shen Jun quickly followed, "I'm also the one who has decided to fight to the death against the Sauron Empire......! A few months ago, I had a compromise mentality!"

"I will also swear to resist the invaders to the death!" Jiang Jingwen's legs did not move, but she stood in place and raised her arms and shouted, "I will never watch our country being annexed!"

After looking at several cronies who spoke out one after another, Shen Mengting herself also took a deep breath, "When the country is in danger, no one will be spared." I can't...... Even if you choose to do it, it's only for temporary safety. Sooner or later, you will be eaten alive by that country, and you will eventually become the banner of the moment for their powerful people to carry out their ambitions. That's it, a pawn that doesn't even have life!"

She will lift it with one hand, and the movement shown in her hand is a 'two'. However, the current meaning of the word 'two' is indeed an action of holding something between two fingers, indicating 'a chess piece in the hand'.

At this moment, most of the townspeople also lowered their heads, as if they were sighing, as if they were reflecting. But at least Shen Mengting can still see that they don't have much resistance anymore, and they are hidden in their hearts.

"I used to ......" Zhao Yu lowered his eyelids and eyebrows gloomily, "I never thought about it...... What can I contribute to the country? Because I...... I'm just a civilian in Vortex Town. Until...... Until......" he began to sniff incessantly, just to get the runny snot back into it, "until my family was devastated, and my only relative, my mother, was also killed." So far...... I finally learned that I could never be alone. If I flinch and am scared when my country is in danger, I will ...... myself Like the nation, it will be wiped out with it!"

Zhao Yu raised his head slightly, and the expression on his face was a little complicated, which could have Sancheng's sadness and Sancheng's helpless smile, plus Sancheng's worry and other emotional factors. In short, his face could be a hodgepodge at the moment, and it was almost impossible to tell what he was thinking.

However, an epoch-making turning point in the situation was quietly unfolding, and under the gaze of the townspeople, Zhao Yu finally left two tear stains.

Crying at this moment, there are thoughts of the mother, and there are also people who feel extremely angry about her death. Of course, there is also an obsession with revenge and a feeling that he is about to do a big job.

At this time, Zhao Yu may no longer be a child who has just run away from Vortex Town, but a real man.

'I will always resist the Sauron invaders, I will avenge the Sauron people who killed my mother, and I will do my part for the country, even if I was just a waste that even a junior swordsman could not pass!'

This is all that Zhao Yu wants to express, and the consideration he gives to the townspeople can even surpass Shen Mengting. Because Zhao Yu himself walked out of the town, everything he did resonated with Rao in the town.

Suddenly, a loud voice crossed, which was made by Zha Hongliang.

"Yes! That's right! We're ...... As a commoner of the Kingdom of Saran, in the ...... At a time of national crisis...... That's right, even when it's a crisis, how can you not do your part!" Zha Hongliang stared at Zhao Yu closely, and after taking a few breaths, he resolutely released a sentence that pressed in his heart, "So...... So I want to contribute to the country, and I want to join the army to resist the invaders!"

Zha Hongliang's words somewhat surprised the other townspeople present, but ......

The townsfolk nodded slightly after a few seconds of surprise. There was no longer a look of fear and resistance on their faces, but a sense of firmness that accompanied them

Then, after one person responded, the others followed suit.

"Yes, I'm also a member of the Saran Nation, and even though I'm just an ordinary Proving Ground Instructor, ...... But I also want to make corresponding contributions to the country! I want to join the army to fight the invaders, and I want to be an upright Saran hero!" Li Yuan quickly made a fist salute. It's just that this action is more done to their Vortex Town Mayor.

After seeing this scene, the mayor leaned back in surprise, "Li Yuan, you ......"

"Oh! really, I don't understand you!" Yu Jianshu also gave a smile on the side, and he also wiped his index finger at the lower part of his nose and mouth, "Now I want to be a hero." But...... There is no way, who told me that I am also a citizen of Saran? Since the country is in trouble, can I still sit idly by? Although I am a little old, I am still not afraid of those young Rao in terms of the ability of archers. Therefore, I also want to join the army to fight and make a contribution to the country's resistance to the invaders!"

The two trial ground coaches in succession made a slight 'embarrassment' look appear on the mayor's face. His wrinkled face also inexplicably felt reddened by excessive drinking.

After a while, he took a deep breath and exhaled a burst of white mist that could merge with the air in front of him.

"Alas, you guys, I haven't seen how patriotic you are, but now ...... Alas, however, patriotism is a good thing! When I was young, I actually served as a [river crab] soldier and wanted to defend the country. This firm desire to protect the people of the country will never be extinguished. So...... I'll tell my daughter right away and ask her to come back and be a medic. I am sure that she will heal many of the soldiers who have been served!"

"Mayor ......"

"Okay! I know a lot of officials from other towns outside, and I will definitely do my best to publicize the recruitment of soldiers!" As he spoke, the mayor of the town had already turned his body towards Shen Mengting.

Shen Mengting suddenly took a breath of air with some excitement, "You...... Mayor ......"

Now that the mayor has already made his mind clear, the other townspeople who have already made a decision will no longer hide anything. They also expressed their thoughts in a high-profile manner.

"I would like to do my best! I will fully support my son's entry into the barracks, whether or not he will eventually agree, but as far as it is concerned, I am quite in favor of it. ”

"Me too! From tomorrow onwards, I will continue to promote the importance of joining the barracks to all the young people in the town, so that the barracks can get more soldiers!"

"I will call on all the townspeople in the town to donate money to solve the corresponding military salary problem!"

"When I go back, I will try to educate my children about the importance of defending the country. ”

"Me too. I want to do my part to help the country get through this!"

......

The townspeople have expressed their attitudes, and the atmosphere of the courtyard has almost been completely heated.

"You ...... You ......" Looking at these townspeople who had completely fallen to her side, Shen Mengting was a little excited and speechless.

But at that moment, she saw another person. This person hid in the crowd, almost an ugly figure with a shrunken neck and a stiff body. He was the director of the trial ground, and Shen Mengting remembered that his name was Zheng Li.

Just when Shen Mengting decided to throw a 'you lose' provocation danger at Zheng Li, the other party took a step ahead of her.

He could sense that his mind had been violently struggling, and after closing his eyes and pursing his lips, Zheng Li announced in a loud voice, "I...... That's it! I ...... I'm out of the way, and I'm going to contribute. I sent a letter to my son in Feishu to make him understand the predicament that the country is facing now. I'll do my best to convince him to join the army, really...... I will try to persuade him. ”

The field director Zheng Li's eyes were a little red, and the townspeople knew that he had only one child all these years.

Shen Mengting immediately thanked her when she heard this, her waist was directly bent, and she bowed to all the surrounding residents, "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

"Generalissimo, don't be too early! As parents, we are only symbolically influencing the young people in the town. But...... Whether or not they actually want to join the army or not is up to them to decide!" the mayor cautiously said his other thoughts.

"I know this very well, and I will try my best to spread it to the young people in the towns. However, with the support of young parents, I think the chances of success will increase a lot. Shen Mengting pursed her lips and lowered her head again.

"Well, too! I myself sincerely hope that the marshal will succeed. But there's one more point I want to mention. He paused briefly, mainly to get Marshal Shen Mengting's nod.

Shen Mengting's 'um' response was still relatively fast, so the mayor of the town unequivocally said what he was worried about, "I understand the marshal's behavior. But there is a reason, and it is true, not that we are shirking anything. That'......" the mayor's expression began to become serious, "O young people of our country! some of them are indeed very unbearable, and it is also true that they cannot even pass the junior profession. It's this level of soldiers, how do you think they can give you strength?"

"I understand that, too. But I've always felt that great soldiers are gained by battlefield experience, not by some proving ground. As for the assessment of professional grades, I will personally teach them so that they can become truly useful people. ”

"Since the marshal has said so, then I am relieved. Here, I hope in advance that you can defeat the enemy and thus defend our country!" the mayor of the town respectfully made a gesture of worship to Shen Mengting.

Shen Mengting also naturally bowed in response. At that moment, she really began to admire the old mayor.

In the wave of agreement of the townspeople, Zha Hongliang and Liang Chaowei are the most inconspicuous. Ironically, they should be at the heart of the whole thing.

Liang Chaowei was originally afraid to become a soldier, and he was unwilling to participate in any fighting, killing, and killing. However, because of Zha Hongliang's active participation, it is difficult for him to do anything to excuse himself.

Or should it be said that the passion of good friends was surging, and it once awakened Liang Chaowei's love for the country of [River Crab]. At this moment, he has become a soldier who is officially expected to defend the country, and he already plans to go back to the barracks tonight as his parents told him.

"Hey, Ahh

But Zha Hongliang just puffed up his face, and his expression was still full of disdain, "What are you talking nonsense? I've never been afraid of pain, okay?"

"Okay! You've never been afraid of pain, you're not afraid of pain. Liang Chaowei's tone was a little subdued.

The two of them also quarreled, but soon, they stopped talking at the same time. Because they all saw Zhao Yu approaching.

Zhao Yu's overall change is not too big, but he is holding a staff in his hand that is completely inconsistent with his temperament.

Zhao ...... Zhao Yu ...... "Zha Hongliang seemed to be choked, he originally thought that Zhao Yu would have died a long time ago."

Zhao Yu was also walking around with a sad aura in his eyes, and his eyes were also staring at the two old friends tightly until the two were about to collide together.

Time was passing, and when Zhao Yu and the two friends were face to face, they didn't say half a word. This was mainly because he was so excited, and he never imagined that he would be able to see these two important partners again in his lifetime.

"Zhao Yu! you ...... Where have you been these days!We're all worried about you!" Liang Chaowei's mouth pouted like a duck.

"I'm ......" took a quick breath, and Zhao Yu clenched the staff in his hand again. The staff had always given him strength, in whatever way, "It's not that simple, I think...... Let's change the place where we can talk!"
