Chapter XXII

The military is the supreme executor of the nation's will to war, and the most respectable and despised person in the world, and this is not about morality, but about position.

It is true that fate is impermanent, this sentence, Kong Ming sighed that it did not take long to prove its power again, this time it came quickly, and its target was Princess Wenping.

The next day, Kong Ming's handsome snow wolf rushed to that town again, and this was the third time he had come here, but this time the situation that Kong Ming saw was really speechless. More than 1,000 Harvey soldiers were hung on more than 1,000 crosses, and it can be seen that many Harvey people have died, and those who are alive have been abolished and cultivated, and many people have been drawn to death, and then look at those who have drawn people, but they are civilians who have been captured by Harvey, and around those more than 1,000 Harveys are full of mercenaries and civilians who have escaped and returned. In other words, this is a trial, a trial of the invaders, because although Kong Ming and the others came very early, but after inquiring, they learned that yesterday, after the Sword Saint and a large number of great swordsmen let Snow Wolf and Shadow kill, the nearby mercenaries were like wolves that smelled blood, and they swarmed and killed the remaining Harveys alive, and crucified those Harveys whether they were dead or alive, which has lasted to this day. This made Kong Ming's plan to completely annihilate the Harvey people fail, because this had been completely annihilated, so the snow wolf's people leaned outside the circle and watched the excitement.

"Now it's finally happy, it's numb, it's enjoyable to look at it like this, these rabbits, they've been running rampant here for too long, and they can finally let us breathe a bad breath. ”

"Yes, it's really his brother's anger, when the world is too peaceful, when I tell my grandson about this, let him know that his grandfather is very good, haha. ”

"You see that person is really good at going under the knife, and the person in front of him is still alive, it's a miracle. ”

......

Among the snow wolves, outside the snow wolves, such words are really one after another, the voices are constant, this scene really shocked Kong Ming, the reason why he was shocked, not because of those methods to deal with the Harvey people, but the power of the people, you know, even if Kong Ming and others cleaned up those people above the great sword master, but after all, the Harvey people are still an army, for the ordinary people, it is still a powerful force, but let these mercenaries, these civilians pile up more than a thousand people alive, how can this be done, maybe this will be a powerful force, will appear on the land of ChuAlthough they do not have strong force, they have a free heart, maybe they are not nobles, but they have a noble heart, maybe they are really the final deciders of war. At this time, Kong Ming also began to wake up to whether his elite army policy needed to be changed, after all, this is a force that is not afraid of anything, and there is always a place and room for its play. The power of the people!

"These are so cruel, really too cruel. Uncle Tang, let them stop, let them stop!!" Just when Kong Ming was still thinking about these things, an accident appeared directly, and from the three teams of snow wolves, the sound of the princess screaming came out, for those two sages, the princess's words were orders, and whether it was for the Chu people or the Harvey people, they would not make any difference. A burst of sage power directly descended on these poor civilians and Harvey, this sudden coercion made many people who did not cultivate kneel down directly, and those who did have cultivation were struggling to hold on, and all of a sudden, the whole audience was silent, and everyone looked at the source of the coercion, where the two sages were. Seeing everyone look at it, the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group involuntarily got out of the way, exposing the princess and the two saints directly in front of everyone, there was no way, the flames in those eyes were even the dragon could burn, there was no way not to let it. The princess walked to the nearest Harvey, this Harvey's body was already full of scars, once the blood seeped out of the flesh, it quickly froze into blood clots, and the turned out flesh was obviously frozen to death, even if there was a high level of medical skills, it would not be brought back to life. And the eyes of this Harvey man were full of despair, and the voice of the muttering voice was too small, and the princess did not hear clearly, and approached quickly, only to hear the Harvey man say: "Please... Beg... You, give... Piece... Pain... Fast... Pain... Fast... Pain... Hurry!" As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he died directly, the reason why he has survived until now is not that those civilians have much ability, but every time he is about to die, give him a little anther, or use magic to prolong his life, so that he will not die, but now the two sages have suppressed those who tortured him, so that he can get rid of this situation at once, so he died all of a sudden. Kong Ming looked at the other Harvey people, and they were all the same, and all of a sudden, the rest of them were gone. Kong Ming didn't feel much sentimental about these situations, because since he was fifteen years old, he had lived this kind of life that was precarious, and the comrades and enemies who died around him were too many to count, and many of them had not even said their names, so they fell in front of him like this, so although the scene in front of him seemed to be very cruel, it could not disturb his heart. However, such a scene has a very huge shock for Tang Wenping, a princess, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as shaking the sky with the earth, this scene completely subverted her understanding of the world. In her life, there are some cotton clothes and food, all the princes and grandsons around her, all the princes and grandchildren around her, all they show in front of her are polite images, even when she was caught, the Harvey people did not embarrass her, because of her identity, and in order to avoid leaving a bad impression in her heart, those dirty things also avoided her sight, it can be said that from childhood to adulthood, she has always spent this kind of lie, and if there is no empty horizon, she may still spend her life in this life. But the phenomenon in front of her completely subverted her cognition and her perception of the world.

At this time, her eyes gradually turned cold, she turned to the butcher who was closest to her to look over, and asked coldly, "Why did you kill him, he has lost the ability to fight, is that not enough?" Her words are already a little crazy, she looks ugly at the person in front of her, thinking that this person really deserves to die ten thousand times, because in her mind, these Harvey soldiers who came from the expedition should be the pride of the Harvey people, they only die on the battlefield, and only by dying on the battlefield is their final destination, not dying in the hands of this kind of cheap swordsman who can't even reach the first-level swordsman, the soldier itself is a kind of glory. However, the next civilian answer really completely lost her. The commoner, looking at the two sages behind her, may have let go of the suppression of him in order for him to answer the princess's question, while the others could only listen at this time.

"Why can't I do this to him? Why? Why?" the civilian had already cut an unknown number of knives on the man's body, and he only remembered that he had been doing it since the morning and had continued until just now. His nerves also broke a little, and the princess's words were the last straw that crushed his nerves, and he muttered to himself: "Why can't I do this to him? Why can't he kill my eldest son, my youngest son, why can't I do this to him? Why? That day he rushed into my house with a group of people and killed my eldest son and my younger son, and at that time, this animal, when he saw my daughter and daughter-in-law, this group of animals, ...... directly" The civilian couldn't say any more, but whoever knew what was going to happen next, "Haha, someone will ask me, why can't I treat him like this, haha, someone will ask me, why can't I treat him like this......"

The civilian, apparently no longer good, after his revenge, his nerves had completely collapsed, he left the crowd, left here, and kept shouting that sentence. The princess's face changed all of a sudden, and she decided on the beginning, as a judge, but she did not expect the end of the case, which was a headless case for anyone. But it pierced the princess's heart deeply, making her eyes even more dazed. Perhaps seeing that the princess's eyes were wrong, the sage let go of his suppression of everyone. was about to go up to help her, but at this time, the princess's words had already ignited the anger in the hearts of the crowd, and even the eyes of the mercenaries on the snow wolf's side became angry.

"What's wrong with us killing these murderers?"

"These dogs killed more than 100 people in our village and brought us here, why can't we kill him? Why, why?"

"I just cursed, my whole family was killed by someone else, why can't we kill him, why, why?"

"This livestock, as soon as it enters the village, it is like a wolf entering a sheep's nest, burning, killing and looting everything, why can't we kill him, why?"

......

The voice was one after another, endlessly, so that the princess was blinded all of a sudden, and became incredible, she was just a simple sentence, but countless people scolded her, she just sent a kindness, but let so many people point at her, gradually, she "ah-" sounded, and then turned around and ran straight through the snow wolf mercenary group, until it disappeared in the eyes of everyone, and the two saints hurriedly chased after her. However, the voices here are still heard. Some even came at the snow wolf mercenaries. Seeing that there was something wrong with the shape, Kong Ming hurriedly came with a lion roar "Stop-", and the sound of the fighting spirit covered the sound of the audience, and that sound also shook everyone's ears to buzz, and in a moment, only Kong Ming's voice was left in the audience. Kong Mingcai stopped, and then motioned to Liu Mingxin, Liu Mingxin will then shout loudly: "Everyone, if you want to scold, continue, but don't come to us, otherwise, the next time you are arrested again, we will not come to the rescue, oh, the night before yesterday and yesterday noon, it was we who killed those Harveys, this, you who rely on our side of the battle should know that we are heroes, we are heroes, not those guys who just say nothing." You know, for you, we have paid the price of more than fifty brothers, you can't be saved, treat us heroes like this, how will we die and wounded brothers?"

"Alas, that uncle, it's you, uncle, you have to be the master for us, you watched us kill the enemy that night, that is, you killed those Harveys, you can't be saved, just forget about us benefactors!"

"But I wasn't caught......"

"Alas, yes, it's you, big brother, you watched us come, yes, yes, it's you, you have to testify for us!"

......

After a while, the image of those people on the snow wolf suddenly improved, after all, among these people, many people had seen the arrival of the snow wolf mercenaries and defeated the Harvey people on one side, which is an indelible fact. So, under such circumstances, Liu Mingxin began to recruit people of grade 3 or above to join the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group. On this day, the snow wolf expanded to more than 600 people, more than 600 cavalry, and all of them were elites above the third level, because there were many people from the Chu army in themselves, and now they were just changing their skins.

In the evening, Kong Ming was constantly repeating the most basic swordsmanship movements at the edge of the camp, these things are the most practical for Kong Ming, and in this process, Kong Ming constantly tried to melt the space fighting qi into the base, and learned the laws of space, and now Kong Ming can only do this, experience the laws of space, so as to master the laws of space.

"Kong Ming, you stop. A female voice came from the side.

Kong Ming stopped very reluctantly, fortunately he was just looking for a way just now, if Kong Ming was in a deep understanding, then this sentence, I don't know how annoyed Kong Ming was.

"Your method, although stupid, but it is really a way to enter the holy level, you tell the princess first, wait a minute, I will tell you some experience of entering the saint, I think you can make some references. Jing Yuan saw Kong Ming's dissatisfaction, so he said directly to Kong Ming, after contacting Kong Ming, he carried Kong Ming behind his back to exchange information with the Huayuan Empire, thus completely proving Kong Ming's identity, and also knew some things about Kong Ming, which made his attitude towards Kong Ming much better.

"What's the matter?"

"Can you sue me, who is wrong today?" Princess Wenping said, Kong Ming glanced at her, the princess's face was bad, it seems that this matter today hit her hard.

"You're not wrong. Kong Ming thought about it, he was not very good at words, and he could only speak a little more concisely.

"Whose fault is that?" The princess had seen too much of those vain and wrongful things, and she was in a bad mood when she saw that Kong Ming was a little perfunctory.

"Hehe, princess, don't get excited, otherwise, you won't be able to say this. ”

"Well, I'm listening. ”

"First, there is nothing wrong with the Harvey's war, foreign conquest is a strategy of an aggressive country, and the army itself is just a tool to carry out this policy, and from this point of view, the Harveys are not wrong, their mistake lies in the killing of the civilians in the occupying country, and from this point of view, they do not deserve sympathy; second, the civilians are not at fault, the Harveys kill their families and force them to flee their homes, and their actions in this case for the Harveys who are no longer capable of fighting are just the most basic revenge, and from this point of view, they are not wrong, they are wrongThey shouldn't be so cruel, you need to know that their cruelty at this time may make them happy for a while, but it will drag more civilians into this whirlpool, so that more civilians will be harmed; third, you are not wrong, you are kind-hearted, you are easy to feel pain in the situation in front of you, and you are not wrong, you are wrong, you are wrong, you are strongly involved between the two sides, and you do not understand the feelings and pain of those civilians. ”

"Then since we are not at fault, then whose fault should it be?" Kongming's words made the princess a little confused.

"Hehe!" Kong Ming smiled bitterly: "It's this era that's wrong, or there's something else, but I don't know." ”

The princess thought for a moment, "It is indeed this era, and in another way, they may become friends." Let me ask you another question, why do you say that those civilians are at fault for their cruelty?"

"Because they were confronted with a group of prisoners of war who had laid down their arms, and although they had been captured, they were still behind them the army of an empire, a vast empire, and if those soldiers were killed in a regular battle, or in a ruse of the enemy, then it was a matter of two armies. This kind of thing can only be found on the battlefield, they may not do it to those civilians who are not lonely, but once the news of these murderous prisoners of war is transmitted back to Harvey, then at that time, most of the soldiers will want to make contributions in the Chu State, because this is the bottom line of the soldiers, and at that time, the entire Chu State will fall into a war, and at that time, the number of dead civilians will increase exponentially. Although there are often people who inadvertently or deliberately destroy the bottom line of war, without exception, the party that destroys will be hit hard. This is the morality of war. ”

And in war, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong, only the final victor is right, because the outcome of the war has been decided, so the process of war can only be written by the victor, and the defeated have died. ”

"Therefore, you must not look at a war with the eyes of those nobles, nor look at the defeated with the eyes of pity, which do not need your sympathy. What you really need to care about is the refugees who have been displaced by war, the orphans who have lost their parents in war, the elderly who have lost their children to war, or those who have lost everything they have lost to war. And as a soldier, my morality is to end a war as much as possible, and then I can go home with peace of mind. ”
