Chapter 5: Flowers of the Battlefield
"All samurai, three-stage strike array! It's time to show the spirit of bushido! ”
"Buckshot and steam canisters are in the back! Go to the roof of the factory and observe the situation of the Kabane! ”
"Don't be afraid, being afraid will only make you die faster! Shooting the projectile in your hand resolutely and steadily is the best way to protect your family and yourself! ”
Jiuzhi Laiqi rode around in front of the factory, commanding and inspiring the samurai with a loud voice. Not many people escaped from the www.biquge.info, and after receiving the order, most of the samurai still came to form a position, which made him very happy.
Perhaps after this battle, the samurai of the Virtuous Station will die out. But at least, the spirit at this moment is enough to shine through the ages.
It's just that after coming out, the girl who attacked Kabane directly regardless of it made their spirit seem a little ironic. Because after that girl rushed towards the Kabane group, she only used a pair of steam pistols with blades in her hands to block the surge of the entire Kabane tide!
"Bang-" The sound of gunfire was fired.
"Click-" The sound of a blade slicing through a human body.
"Ding-" Kabane's heart was pierced.
The three voices rang out over and over again in the Kabane group, and one after another Kabane was put to the ground by the nameless girl, and could no longer stand up.
"That girl...... Is it the reincarnation of Kai Ji? Looking at the posture of the flower of the battlefield, a samurai muttered.
"The best beauty in the East? It does have that kind of appearance and martial arts. Another samurai chimed in.
"This kind of strength is almost not inferior to the adult just now." The first samurai sighed.
"It's hard to say, after all, that adult is someone who can use superhuman abilities......"
"Do you dare to say that this girl doesn't have superhuman abilities? If it were you, would you be able to do it? ”
"Hmm......"
The second samurai had nothing to say. That kind of strength is indeed not like what ordinary humans can achieve.
Within a day, two superhuman powerhouses rescued them from danger one after another.
"She won't last long."
On the lookout platform at the front of the car in the Iron City, Lin Yuedong stood beside Calamus, and also looked at the nameless jumping in the distance, "Her body can't support such a level of activity." Even if she only dealt with these ordinary kabanes, she would only be able to hold out for two minutes at most, and if she had the skills to do so, she would not be able to free her moves, and your samurai would immediately face those kabanes, suffering heavy casualties and even annihilation. ”
In fact, it is mentioned in the plot that after the restriction is lifted (that is, the ribbon around his neck is untied), Nameless can only move at full strength for about 100 seconds, and then he must fall into a deep sleep to recover.
Therefore, it is entirely conceivable that after Nameless loses his vitality, the samurai who have no danger to defend on the flat ground will soon be devoured by Kabane.
"I ...... Did you do it wrong? Calamus said a little confused.
"There is no right or wrong, only results." Lin Yuedong said lightly, "Everyone has to bear the consequences of their decisions. If you ask them to form a defensive line, you will naturally suffer the consequences of losing them. Of course, it's also possible that even if you lose them, you won't be able to protect all civilians – and that's the same consequence you have to bear.
"Further, when old people, wives and children who have lost their sons, husbands and fathers may blame you for your decisions; When the Iron Castle encounters danger during its operation, people will miss these warriors and hate you; When the Iron City encounters an existential crisis again, you may also regret this decision today. These are also the consequences you have to bear. ”
"If it were you, I'd order those people to be discarded." Calamus smiled and said.
"A trained samurai is worth more than civilians in this world, and it's an easy choice to make." Lin Yuedong said as a matter of course, "The story of the perfect ending only exists in fairy tales, and in reality, only this method can be used to get the least bad result." ”
"Perhaps, but I just can't make that decision." Calamus turned to Lin Yuedong with a resolute expression, "However, for now, there is another way to avoid the worst outcome like that." ”
Lin Yuedong smiled indifferently: "That's right, that's to ask me." If I had me, I would have been able to greatly reduce their casualties, but at the cost of taking great risks myself. Excuse me, what reason do I have to leave the safe train and go outside to fight for you? Anyway, I can live on my own. ”
"Your appearance here at this time, my bold speculation must also be that the current crisis facing the Iron City is also fancy, and I am ready to take the opportunity...... Take advantage of it. Calamus forcibly swallowed the word "blackmail" back into her stomach, "So I think there must be a reason for you to make a move." ”
Lin Yuedong glanced at her with some surprise: I didn't see it, she still has this brain? In the original work, I remember that she seems to have always been an image of a person in power with no majesty, and she didn't show any clever ideas......
Wrong! Lin Yuedong remembered. In the plot, when she was in Wuwenyi, the local city lord didn't want to give food to Jia Tiecheng and refused to meet her, but she showed her little wit.
It's just that the little wit is just a little wit after all, and there is still a certain gap between it and real wisdom.
"It's a good idea, but unfortunately it's completely wrong direction." Lin Yuedong stood with his hands in his hands and looked at the flames in the distance, "I'm just here to see the scenery." There is no such good lookout on the car. ”
Calamus bit her lip: "This lord, are you really unwilling to lend a hand?" If the Iron City fails, even you won't be able to survive alone! ”
"My name is Lin Yuedong, just call me Lin." Lin Yuedong introduced himself first, and then said, "It's okay, I expect that at the last moment, you will order the train to start." You can't afford to lose these people more than I do. ”
"You...... Do you really want to see death and not save it? Calamus said a little excitedly.
"Why can't I bear it?" Lin Yuedong pretended to be surprised, "I don't know you, bringing them here from the castle tower has already saved your lives, don't think that I will do more for you." I'm not obligated to save you, it's your responsibility to put them to death, not mine, and you'd better think about that before you kidnap morally. ”
It is a matter of love to act courageously in the face of righteousness, and it is the duty not to save in the face of death, and no one is qualified to ask others to risk their lives for the lives of others, which is justified.
If you have the ability to save it, do you have to save it? Who prescribes? Why should others bear the consequences of what one person does as if it were taken for granted? I jumped into the river and drowned, and Superman didn't come to fish me out? It doesn't make sense at all. If you die by yourself, you will bear the consequences yourself, this is the truth.
"That'...... That ......"
Calamus was speechless. Only then did she realize that she didn't have any bargaining chips with Lin Yuedong at all, whether it was morality or reason, she didn't stand on her side, and she didn't even have interests: the other party didn't need to live by herself, but she would die without the other party!
As he spoke, Nameless had gradually fallen silent. The battle line of the Kabanes gradually pushed forward, and the flanks were close to the position of less than ten meters from the samurai. Soon, they will rely on their powerful physical abilities to penetrate the defense line and then go on a killing spree.
Time is running out for the Iron City.
"Mr. Lin, I know that all this is my responsibility, and I also know that I have no power to bear this consequence." Calamus's expression was a little sad, and tears flowed down her cheeks, "But I still can't help it, and I want to pray for a miracle." ”
She slowly knelt down towards Lin Yuedong, and said with tears in her eyes: "I beg you, save Jia Tiecheng." No matter what price you want, I agree to it on behalf of Tiecheng and myself. Really, please! ”
Looking at the Sifang Sichuan iris who was kneeling on the ground, Lin Yuedong's heart did not fluctuate, but he felt a little emotional.
The leadership of the Sifang River Calamus may be lacking, but she has always held the leadership of the Iron City in the original work, whether it is the protagonist, or the beautiful horse of the heavenly bird, or those who question the calamus without a name, they can't take it away, and this is probably not just because she is noble.
A person who is willing to give up all dignity and pay any price for his subordinates and the people already has the basic quality of a good leader: that is, to carry the fate of all the people led by himself on his shoulders without regrets!
Based on this alone, the protagonist Ikoma, who was stabbed by his sister and was frustrated, was more than 108,000 miles away from her, not to mention others.
Although this is not reflected much in the original work, the public can definitely still understand it. So no matter what, the most recognized by the people is the Sifang Sichuan calamus.
Of course, Tentori Mima also has such qualities, but he has no intention of leading the Iron City, so it is impossible for the people to recognize him.
"Get up." Lin Yuedong said lightly, "My conditions are very simple. In the future, depending on the situation, I may have requirements for everyone in the Iron City, pay attention, everyone has a request. No matter what I ask for when the time comes, you have to follow through on all of them, you know? ”
The prestige of heroes alone may be able to make these people obey, but for a leader like Sifang Chuan Calamus, Lin Yuedong still hopes to make his words clear and fix the relationship between the two parties in the form of a contract. Otherwise, he couldn't trust that the Quartet would be able to carry out his orders at that time.
He never expects too much from others, so when he has expectations, he will say them clearly and ask the other party to do it, just like he made with the wooden pen before.
"Are you going to use all of us as your tools?" Calamus felt a little bitter in her mouth, "I agreed." I swear in the name of my Quartet Chuan Calamus, in the future, if Lin Yuedong has a request, I will definitely do my best to lead everyone in the Iron City to obey the dispatch. ”
"Good." Lin Yuedong nodded with satisfaction. If you can achieve such a result, you can be regarded as uniting the power of the Iron City. Given that there is no second force to unite in the plot for a long time after that, it is time for me to devote myself wholeheartedly to dealing with that unknown enemy.
When he was about to leave, Lin Yuedong thought about it, but couldn't help but say, "You may be the best leader, or you may be the worst leader." Your charisma can unite everyone, but your IQ can lead them all into a ditch – it's better to develop a little self-confidence and learn to assert your own judgment later. That's all I have to say, so do what you want. ”
Looking at Lin Yuedong's distant figure, the Sifang Chuan Calamus was a little confused in his eyes.
Stand up for your own judgment...... Is it?
Does that mean that what I guessed at the beginning was actually right, and this person deliberately arrived at the lookout at this time in order to take advantage of the fire to rob?
In other words, the other party also has a demand for Jia Tiecheng. This is not a one-sided buyer's market, but a mutual supply and demand between the two sides.
If you can stick to this judgment, you may be able to get better conditions, right?
Calamus clenched her fists. This lesson is really profound. Next time, I will definitely not change my judgment easily!
Absolute!
