Chapter 168: Prepare for the next challenge
Looking at Zhao Yu who sat down again, Shen Mengting's expression showed a sad look again.
"Zhao Yu. She called softly, and slowly walked to Zhao Yu's side.
Zhao Yu was still sitting on the ground, with one hand on his face. He didn't even seem to have an expression, and the whole was full of sadness and discomfort.
"Zhao Yu. Shen Mengting tried to call again, but now in this situation, Zhao Yu categorically will not respond.
So, Shen Mengting sat down next to Zhao Yu again, and deliberately got very close to him.
Zhao Yu could feel the person coming, but he still planned to ignore the woman. His heart was dead now, from the death of his mother to the death of many of his friends in Vortex, and he felt as if his past had been completely cut off from the present.
So...... What's the point of him being alive at this moment?
Zhao Yu's body sank a little, like a leaky ball, a bit of an overall dry flatten.
Shen Mengting did not speak immediately after sitting down, but continued to be silent. She thought about the void look ahead, and the corners of her mouth fell a little.
In fact, she didn't feel good in her heart, but the brothers lost because of her aggressive tactics, and it also led to such a big defeat as the Saran Kingdom. Even, there are still powerful enemies eyeing them.
Therefore, Shen Mengting is really under great pressure now. It was precisely because of this reason that she had previously uncontrollably accused Zhao Yu.
But now that Zhao Yu has already said the truth, Shen Mengting has also realized her weakness.
Zhao Yu is not wrong, many civilians naturally have their civilian thoughts, Shen Mengting should not decide the thoughts of civilians from her own perspective in everything.
This is what Shen Mengting has always lost, but after experiencing the incident just now, she decided that she could no longer think about problems willfully in the future. She had to accommodate the ideas of everyone in the country before she could be a good guardian.
"Zhao Yu!" After being silent for a long time, Shen Mengting finally released her words. Her head was also twisted slightly, and she looked at Zhao Yu, who was sitting like a statue.
Zhao Yu should be able to feel her call, the evidence is Zhao Yu's eyes, and he can't help but glance at her.
Since Zhao Yu can listen to his own words at the moment, Shen Mengting does not intend to continue to speak as if she is covered, "Zhao Yu! I always thought you were a child who didn't understand anything. But after going through that place, you really surprised me. Actually, you are a very emotional person, and you have many, many thoughts in your head, but because you are usually more introverted, others ignore your feelings. ”
Zhao Yu seemed to be 'groaning' in his heart, and his body suddenly twitched a few times. It was also from this moment that his eyes seemed to be focused again, at least not as confused as before.
"Zhao Yu, I hope you can boldly say anything to me in the future, and I won't tell anyone. ”
Zhao Yu suddenly took a deep breath, but stopped abruptly halfway through his breath. He seemed to want to turn his face around, but for some reason, he kept his eyes on the front.
"Zhao Yu, I also heard what you said just now. Honestly, you're not bad at all. I have my flaws, I am too obsessed with thinking about the big picture, such as the decline and fall of the state and the resistance, but I ignore my personal feelings. Yes, those dead companions, they can't come back. Even if we can save the country with a big victory in the future, we can no longer do anything to make amends for those who have died. Zhao Yu, what you said is the truth, and I listened to it. ”
Zhao Yu's reaction became even more powerful, and he finally cast his eyes this time, and there was too much sadness in his eyes.
"But ......" Shen Mengting lowered her head and avoided Zhao Yu's gaze, "If I want to say it again, I will still say those words." For me, the most important thing right now is the people who are alive. I have my own concerns and obsessions, and that is the country behind me and the millions of people in Saran. ”
Zhao Yu's eyes widened slightly, and his lips kept trembling, as if there was an infinite sense of excitement.
"Once upon a time, there were people who blamed my father. I think my father was too attached to his own lofty ideals and ignored the feelings of the common people. Some people often scolded him, saying that he would look at problems from the perspective of his own elite, as if the people of the whole country should think like him. Of course, before his death, my father regretted that he did not see things from the perspective of a civilian. So I don't want to repeat my father's mistakes and end up with a thankless and helpless departure. ”
Zhao Yu's appearance gradually became excited, and tears seemed to ooze from his two eye sockets. He looked at Shen Mengting directly, as if he had entered infinite regret.
"Yes! That's good!" Shen Mengting chose to stand up after exhaling her breath. She walked towards the front position, and there was a sense of reasoning, "I've been asking myself a question since I was little. Why should we fight with the Sauron Empire? We are all the same race, so why should we draw our swords against each other?" ......she hesitated, her eyes shining fiercely. With her standing upright, her steps stopped moving, "But as I grew older and experienced, I really knew how terrible this country was." Zhao Yu!"
Shen Mengting turned her head with a quick movement, and the momentum made Zhao Yu lean back.
"Zhao Yu! This Sauron Empire is very, very terrifying, and this country, whether it is a leader or an ordinary civilian, has no conscience at all. If they rule over our Saran, it will be a nightmare for us. So you know? It's with this obsession that I can't let the army of the Sauron Empire in anyway. Even though...... Even if there is a sacrifice, I think it is worth it. This is my obsession and belief. Well, now you can accuse me of being too self-serving. But from what I've seen in the past, the whole picture of the Sauron Empire can clearly understand the disgusting aspects of this country. I will not allow the humans of this country to enslave our kingdom of Saran. Never allow!"
Shen Mengting's eyes widened, and there was an incomparable sense of firmness in it.
"So you know? That's my pressure. You can accuse me of being cold-blooded, but all I can think about now is how to resist this country, not how to remember my dead brothers. I have my position and my responsibilities. Now, I can only let go of the sadness in my heart and take the remaining brothers to resist the upcoming strong threat. That's what I'm supposed to do. ”
Shen Mengting showed an indescribable sadness, and her eyelids seemed to be completely sunken.
"Alright, I'm done. Zhao Yu, no matter what, I hope you can cheer up, for yourself and for the sake of this country, come to the council hall and look like a general. I know that what I say now about 'for the sake of the living' doesn't work for you anymore. But hopefully you can be one of the guardians of this country, just like the rich and them. ”
Zhao Yu slowly lowered his head, but he didn't want to be as extremely resistant to others as before.
"So...... I'm leaving. We have a meeting with the generals in the evening!" Shen Mengting tapped her head a few times, and immediately walked up.
Zhao Yu looked at Shen Mengting's departure, wondering if he had spoken too heavily before. Shen Mengting is an excellent marshal, and no one can replace this.
Moreover, she has just come out of the ghost gate, and she has also lost many brothers.
Zhao Yu thought about whether he should apologize, but his mouth remained closed without obeying. Seeing Shen Mengting go away, he finally just stared at his back and didn't have any words.
Of course, Shen Mengting never looked back at Zhao Yu from beginning to end, as if this person's feet would never stop until the person disappeared without a trace.
Shen Mengting's departure prompted only Zhao Yu to be left here. The excessive loneliness made him tremble, and the hurricanes that blew around him from time to time made him feel extremely collapsed.
Maybe this is not a place to stay for a long time, but Zhao Yu also thinks that he has nowhere to go at this time. He looked at the staff he was currently holding in his hand, and somehow he stood up quickly with a force on his legs.
Zhao Yu thought about his past, as well as his relatives and friends. Their bits and pieces turned around in Zhao Yu's mind, which was quite a bit of a marquee.
But when he grasped the staff tightly, it was as if he suddenly understood something.
Although his past has been shattered, he still has a future! No matter what, he Zhao Yu himself still survived. Instead of mourning here, think about how to avenge your friends.
"Oh, do you want me to do this, just like Marshal Shen Mengting said, cheer up and fight for the living?" Zhao Yu turned his head and stared at the staff he was holding.
The staff reversed the light at this time, and it seemed to be nodding to Zhao Yu: That's right!
Zhao Yu's heart also seemed to be infused with infinite power, and he also expanded his chest forward.
"Really, do you really want me to do that?"
Zhao Yu became a little sluggish, and the hand holding the staff was tighter.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Just now, Marshal Shen Mengting once said that their generals would have a meeting in the evening, and I believe it was to discuss how to deal with the new round of invasion of the Thorin Empire next.
Zhao Yu wanted to participate, but because of the irritability in his heart, he was still discouraged from places with many people. Helpless, he had to go back to his room and leave, and calm down a little alone.
The whole person lay down on the bed, and Zhao Yu's body was in a big position. The staff was rested beside the bed, like a piece of wood.
What to do in the next few days? I heard that the Saurons were hardly injured, but their Saran side had already suffered heavy casualties. What exactly should we do in the future war?
Zhao Yu didn't dare to continue thinking about it, he was afraid that he would think of something bad, so that he was short of breath again.
But at this moment, there seemed to be some movement outside, and it seemed to be a man-made sound.
Zhao Yu immediately got up from the bed and came to the door with his staff. The sound seemed to be a man-made shout, and there was more than a small group.
The shouts are like rolling waves, almost all the time without rushing into my mind.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yu instinctively asked himself a question, and then opened the door to see what was going on.
As the gate opened, the roaring waves outside changed to loud, and the momentum seemed to be almost bigger than the usual training.
What the hell is going on?
Zhao Yu, who felt puzzled, decided to take a look, and he picked up his staff and walked to the source of the sound.
Since those few roars were really huge, it was very easy for Zhao Yu to find the source. As he got closer to the voice, he caught a few words in it.
"We swear to follow Marshal Shen to the death, and we will never regret it!
"Yes, no regrets, no regrets!"
"No regrets!"
A large number of shouting words are constantly released, which has a kind of momentum of shouting in a queue.
Judging from those words, it seems that the soldiers are affirming the meaning of Marshal Shen Mengting. But the problem is that their side has just experienced an extraordinary defeat, and now how can there be soldiers waving their flags and shouting something?
With a lot of questions, Zhao Yu continued to walk there. Soon after, he also came to the source of the sound, which was the playground where the soldiers usually practiced. But now, it has become a temporary resting area for the wounded.
This......
When Zhao Yu came to the playground, he could see the whole picture of the matter.
It turned out that the playground was already lined up with Saran soldiers, some of whom had been seriously injured, or some of whom had been sent out so that there was no damage. But now they have only one purpose, that is, to huddle in the playground and shout words to their Marshal Shen Mengting.
The words 'no regrets, no regrets' have filled all the air here.
Correspondingly, Generalissimo Shen Mengting stood on the general's platform, holding a sword in her hand. Deputy Marshal Ma Liming, as well as several other generals, also stood behind her, seemingly giving unlimited support.
"I know what my brothers mean, and I will never regret you following me. Okay, let's continue to face it calmly, and finally drive out the invaders completely!" Shen Mengting raised the giant sword that had already been raised.
As she lifted her sword completely, she counted the roars of the soldiers.
"Generalissimo! Generalissimo! Generalissimo!"
The same roar was like a wave, and the atmosphere of the soldiers seemed to be about to reach its highest point.
Zhao Yu couldn't help but be shocked by this scene, because not long ago, the soldiers were all scattered, but it didn't take long for them to turn into the same hatred.
