"Chapter 131: The End of the War"
It's only when you can't handle the balance of your system that you can stress. Stress comes when you don't know how to manage your body, mind, emotions or energy. If you understand this, there will be no tension and pressure because you are no longer held hostage by external circumstances.

Since the invasion of the western Luxi tribe by the 700,000-strong army of the Eastern Alliance, the western Luxi tribe, with a total population of no more than 2.4 million, has lost more than 350,000 soldiers.
Although the barbarian tribes in the eastern region do not have the so-called concept of wearing linen and wearing filial piety, the thoughts of living people about their dead relatives are not divided into worlds and races, and this is the thoughts and feelings of all higher beings.
If it was only a thought, then the warrior who 'assassinated' Viriacius, his words could not have made all the soldiers present lose their voices, in fact, survival outside of thoughts is the cruel reality that every Lucy warrior cannot avoid.
It was precisely because the soldiers present knew in their hearts that once they died on the battlefield, their parents, wives and children at home would most likely lose their source of livelihood, so they fell silent, and their worries left them speechless.
In the barren and barren land, there was no other force other than the city of Rome, which was systematically supported, to solve the problem of food shortage, and the tribal people, who could not survive by farming and harvesting food, had to hunt to obtain more food.
The crux of the matter is, if an ordinary family in the Luxi tribe loses all the young and strong in the family, who can the family rely on to hunt and obtain the food they need to survive? Is it an old man who can't beat a wild beast? Or a young child who can't hold a sword?
As the soldier just said, his father had already died in the war a few years ago, and his two older brothers had died in the battle not long ago.
It is no exaggeration to say that his life and death are no longer the life and death of one person, but the life and death of nearly ten people;
Veriasius, who felt that his life was passing rapidly, was silent for a long time, and after a long silence, he raised his head again, stared at the warrior with burning eyes, and said in a serious tone: "Brother, this war is over, take good care of your family when you go home." ”
After saying that, Viriacius himself reached out and pulled out the long sword that pierced his heart from behind his back and handed it to the warrior's hand, and only after the warrior with a look of shock in his eyes subconsciously reached out and took the long sword, he slowly turned around.
First looked around at the warriors around him, and then Viriacius, who barely showed a smile, and ordered everyone: "Brothers, I declare to you as the leader of the Luci tribe: all warriors, lay down your arms and surrender to the enemy army!"
At the moment of "Leader ......", the eyes of countless warriors loyal to Viriasius suddenly became red.
Listening to the choked calls of the soldiers around him, Viriacius, whose face was even more relieved, said in a softer voice: "Brothers, the moment the enemy army appeared behind us, I knew that our hometown was probably already very auspicious, and it was me who ...... Unwilling to ......"
"Poof......
A mouthful of blood spurted out suddenly, but he finally couldn't finish his unfinished words, and being able to hold on for a few minutes before vomiting blood to death while his heart was pierced by a long sword was enough to prove the strength of a saint-level powerhouse!
"No!" Some of the warriors were relieved to see their leader vomit blood and die, while others were so sad that they could not help themselves, and even more so, they even killed themselves on the spot with their long swords to show their loyalty to their leader.
To everyone's surprise, the warrior who stabbed the sword into the heart of Viriasius with his own hand chose to end his own life with his sword that killed Viriacius after staggering next to the corpse of Viriasius.
The death of Viriacius, and the last order he gave before his death, directly determined the end of the battle, and Luci's army, numbering no less than 35,000 soldiers, surrendered to the Roman army that attacked them.
The battle for unification initiated by the city of Rome ended with the fall of the Eastern Alliance and the Lucian tribe, and the only two variables in the war were the establishment of the kingdom of Luci and the sudden death of Viriacius.
In the final analysis, the Lucy Kingdom was still established under Bai Feng's control, which was not beyond Bai Feng's expectations, but the death of Viriacius, especially the death of a soldier under his own command, was really beyond Bai Feng's expectations.
What Bai Feng didn't expect was that when the soldiers of the Spartan Legion collected the weapons of the captives, Naoki Yoshikawa, who had been missing for many days, suddenly appeared in front of Bai Feng, and his arrival also solved a mystery that happened in front of Bai Feng.
It turned out that the Lucy warrior who assassinated Viriacius first and then martyred Viriacius was not a warrior of the Luxi tribe at all!
It is worth exchanging an insignificant ninja for the life of an intermediate sword master, especially since this intermediate sword master is still the leader and spiritual leader of the Luxi tribe, then it is even more profitable!
Under the careful explanation of Naoki Yoshikawa, Bai Feng gradually understood the cause and effect of this incident: that day, Naoki Yoshikawa, who was determined to sacrifice himself for the camp of Kirkwall, actually wanted to use the assassination of Gregory to relieve the siege of the camp.
As a result, no one dared to guarantee the success of the discord plan, which was unparalleled and unprecedented, and before Naoki Yoshikawa could assassinate Gregory, Yoshimi Yamashita, Heikyo Natsukawa, and Jun Nishimura successfully resolved the crisis in the camp.
With this in mind, and after ensuring that the camp was safe, Naoki Yoshikawa personally led a group of ninjas all the way north to the core settlement of the Lusai tribe, where Naoki Yoshikawa, who learned that Viriacius was about to lead his army to the border, decided to infiltrate the Lucy army with the ninjas.
Naoki Yoshikawa and his ninjas, who successfully infiltrated the Lucy army, participated in several battles of the Lucy army as Lucy warriors and made great achievements, but even so, Naoki Yoshikawa never found a suitable opportunity to assassinate.
Not to mention the number of guards around Viriasius, the strength of Viriacius alone was enough to frustrate Naoki Yoshikawa's assassination plan, and Naoki Yoshikawa, who waited patiently, waited for such an excellent assassination opportunity until the last moment of the decisive battle.
Naoki Yoshikawa, who was not lacking in political vision, knew that a Viriacius who died at the hands of 'his own people' would be beneficial to the city of Rome, which was about to enter the Luxi tribe, so he took action and ended the war early.
