Chapter 187: Proposition 53
"But the general...... The lives of the 50,000 soldiers of the Tree Country are in our hands. Manstein snapped, "They...... They didn't join Operation Thunder Island to be cannon fodder for the Dragons, they ...... They...... They also have family – and they have friends, and they want to be honored to return to their hometown, and they want to go back to the tree country again!"
"So what?" asked Wind Chime calmly.
"So?" Manstein's angry face began to distort, his eyes widened terribly, and his voice trembled for a moment, "You are General Wind Chime, don't you even understand this?"
Suddenly, the tense command room quieted down, and the eyes of the senior officers of the Dragon Kingdom, the senior officers of the Tree Kingdom, Gu Monroe, Ba Wen, Qiu Fengyang, Hua Ze, Mu Linsen, Morton, and Rhodes were all fixed on the wind chime.
Wind Chimes stood up, and their gentle gaze became terrifying, like a glacier three thousand meters deep.
"Commander Manstein, Commander Zhang Lingzhi, Commander Modesang, Commander Zhu Daofu, and ...... Captain Zax, is that your answer?"
They did not speak, but expressed everything with their eyes.
Yes –
"I see....... In fact, I understood from the beginning that in times of peace, when there was no war, people didn't like war at all——, the reason why they joined the army, why they joined Operation Thunder Island, and why they fought against [Thunder Fang] was not to eliminate the fear that existed in people's hearts, nor to uncover the secrets of the world's past...... They...... Tree Country, Dragon Country, Beast Country...... The Holy Seven Alliance, all the people, just to be able to hold their heads up and return to their relatives...... Then, proudly told everyone that he was once a hero, following the coalition forces to attack Thunder Island and suppress the heroes of [Thunder Fang]...... Right?"
They still didn't speak, the senior generals of the Dragon Kingdom, the senior generals of the Tree Country, Gu Monroe, Qiu Fengyang, and the legendary mage looked at the wind chimes seriously, and even Ba Wen didn't expect that standing in front of him was a woman from the Tree Country.
"General Wind Chime, you're right. Zax, the commander of the Third Legion of the Tree Country, said: "My soldiers, your soldiers, the soldiers of the Tree Country, and the soldiers of the Dragon Country, almost all of them have only one purpose...... Meritorious ..... They didn't want to face [Thunder Fang] in their hearts, in the eyes of the soldiers, [Thunder Fang] had died a hundred years ago, and in their eyes, Operation Thunder Island was just a drill, and many people had never experienced war. ”
"This is the worst ......" Wind Chime looked around, his gaze finally resting on General Bawen, "Your Excellency Bawen, can you make the soldiers sit down?The Holy Alliance has a rule that the veins are not allowed to be opened in the command room, and violators can be considered mutinies-" Zax, Maudsang...... You close the veins and then sit down, this is not the place to do it. ”
"But the general...... They...... The people of the Dragon Kingdom are still ......." Manstein was full of doubts, and pointed to the senior generals of the Dragon Kingdom opposite, "If we close the vein, it will only take a moment for the five legion leaders of the Tree Kingdom to be wiped out. ”
"I know. "Wind chimes," can ...... It is a command, if we die, the living will avenge us. She looked at Qiu Fengyang, Hua Ze and Mu Linsen beside her, even if the Dragon Kingdom had Gu Monroe, she believed that Hua Ze and Qiu Fengyang had enough strength to end the lives of everyone present.
This was the first time Qiu Fengyang and Wind Chime had met, but he immediately understood the meaning in Feng Chime's eyes.
- Thank you!
Once again, the wind chimes conveyed their thoughts with their eyes.
"Damn—"
Manstein and Maudsant gritted their teeth and closed their veins, then sat down straight.
"General Wind Chimes, I hope you don't live up to our trust. Zhang Lingzhi said (closing his own veins), followed by Zhu Daofu, and finally the head of the Zax Corps.
"General, I hope you understand what you're doing...... he said.
"Thank you. Feng Chime nodded (turned to Bawen) and said coldly: "Your Excellency, your country ......"
Puff –
With a wave of his hand, the remaining dozen or so senior generals of the Dragon Kingdom also closed their pulses and took their seats one after another. The blue-robed mage Rhodes took out the blue magic wand from the embroidered robe, and with a light touch in the air, the papers, pens, ink, and broken glass scattered all over the place, all the chaos returned to its original state in a moment.
Before everyone had time to sigh at the mysterious power of the legendary mage, the wind chime said coldly:
"Yes, everyone here is right. It was there that our strongest fleet was destroyed by Thundertooth a hundred years ago - excellent soldiers, experienced commanders, and skilled chefs...... A lot of people ....... A lot of people died – some were fathers of their children, maybe ....... Their lovers are waiting for their return, and their parents have cooked and are looking forward to the day when they will return. ”
"Everyone has a dream...... There are things you want to do—simple, complex, achievable, impossible to achieve in a lifetime of hard work—but in the end...... It's all in vain, and it doesn't mean anything...... Yes...... It doesn't make any sense. ”
General Wind Chime's voice was muffled, and the entire command room fell into a dead silence, and the fear and regret in everyone's hearts burst out.
"478 years ago, with the end of the Second Age of the End of the Law, the Second Holy Alliance was established, and the Demon Clan left the central area of the Western Continent, and for five hundred years, peace continued until, a hundred years ago, the Battle of Thunder Island broke the idyllic life. For the first time, the Terrans began to discover that this world was not as simple as we thought, and that the millions of coalition forces had really been wiped out by the [Thunder Fang]? We keep asking ourselves, what is it that is covering our eyes and our hearts? Where are we going?"
Wind Chimes said again.
"Yes, what everyone wants is the truth...... About the truth of this world, are those legends true, or are they used to comfort us who are hiding on the mainland to report to the group to keep warm?"
"No one knows, but if we stop pursuing the truth, everything will be meaningless. For 500 years, countless people have dedicated their lives to discovering the truth about the world...... gave up their happiness...... They face discrimination and incomprehension from all...... But is all this meaningless?—— just as a generation of people who die with empty eyes that terrify future generations?"
Wind Chime shook his head, his eyes suddenly widened, and he roared like a beast.
"No, all the efforts have not been in vain. For five hundred years, humanity has not given up, despite the small number of people, despite discrimination, and despite their own deaths, they have not contributed anything...... However, it is not meaningless! They gave all their ancestors to give us the truth of the world, so that we can continue to fight with their will, and this is why they have been working hard for it. ”
"As long as the thirst for the truth of the world does not stop, the battle will not end. All this is so cruel, countless people, countless soldiers, countless wise men have died on this path, the dreams they want to realize, the things they want to do, are falling apart in this unknown world, because they see clearly the essence of cruelty - not the fear brought by ignorance, but the pain of facing ignorance but powerlessness. But that's the only way we can face this unknown world—"
"Seek the truth, find the truth of the world!"
Wind Chime's speech ended, and the voice echoed in everyone's minds.
The Truth –
It was not amplified by the spiritual pulse array, but a certain corner of everyone's heart was touched by it.
"This is the real Wind Chime General. Mu Linsen said respectfully, "This is the most real woman I have seen during this time." ”
"Hmm. Hua Ze snorted, thin beads of sweat crawling on his head, he had heard these words before. In the orphanage, Grandpa said the same thing in the morning, but I didn't expect it...... Was it at that time.......
Under the respectful gaze of everyone, the wind chime gently sat back in his place, followed by a loud applause. Everyone, including Mone Gu, Autumn Breeze and Bawen, stood up and applauded her!
"Your speech was wonderful, and if the soldiers listened to it, they would have been even braver. Bawen said.
"Bravery? is just convincing them to be more willing to die, and we are all demons who encourage others to give their precious lives. The wind chime said softly.
The loud applause was frozen again, and everyone sat down with heavy faces.
Ba Wen sneered: "Why did we become generals? Your Excellency Wind Chime, please tell me...... When the soldiers entrust us with their lives, do we just want them to be willing to give their lives for the battle?
"Your Excellency, you are wrong, it seems to me that the duty of a general is to lead the soldiers to victory, to exchange the smallest casualties for the greatest victory, and we are generals because we have the talent to become generals, and only we can shoulder the lives of soldiers-"
Wind Chime's gaze is very persistent, and it is hard to imagine that this will be the eyes of a peerless beauty.
"I see. "Let's vote now, the easiest way possible." Everyone here, including the inheritors, is ...... 27 people, if you agree with the immediate implementation of the distribution of military forces, please raise your hand, the minority obeys the majority...... Let's get started—"
The voting process was simple, and the result was unexpected, with 26 people in favor of an immediate allocation of forces, with the exception of one who opposed it.
The opponent was a young captain who was less than thirty years old, the captain of the Wave Steam: Wen Yue.
"Captain of the Wave Steam, why are you opposed to the deployment of military forces?" asked Bavin.
"My gut tells me that now is not the time to deploy forces. ”
This was the only speech made by Moon Moon at the strategic discussion meeting, and she has remained silent ever since.
Subsequently, the three-hour military deployment meeting officially began, and after analyzing the various aspects of Mine Island, the coalition finally passed Proposition 53.
The 300,000 Army of the Tree Country, led by the 200,000 main force of the Dragon Kingdom, Captain Zax, and the 100 elites of the Fire Department led by Howell attacked the golden sand beach west of Thunder Island, seized the Minethil Trail, and attacked Thunder God City.
The remaining four armies of the Tree Country landed on the Twilight Cliffs, targeting Sunspring Lake, passing through the sunset quagmire, and finally joining up with the main force of Golden Beach at Thor City.
Hua Ze and Qiu Fengyang assisted the main force of the coalition to seize the Golden Beach, and the blue-robed mages and green-robed mages provided spell support to the Golden Beach battlefield.
In order to prevent the conflict between Ancient Monroe and Autumn Wind and Sun from erupting, Bawen arranged for Ancient Monroe to enter the Useland Cemetery from the steepest falling cliff east of Thunder Island, and go straight to the ThunderClan altar.
"We don't know anything about the situation on Ray Island, and this deployment is tentative...... As for the specific plan, it depends on the situation - I believe everyone has realized the seriousness of the problem, this battle is related to the future of the human race, what we have to do is to find out the truth!" Bawen stood up, put his hand on his left chest and said, "The human race has looked up at the starry sky countless times...... When our children ask, "Is there really an end to the world?" I want ...... You can give you an answer—"
Amid the applause of the crowd, the third Thunder Island Strategic Discussion Conference came to an end.
