When Oster literally led the group into the camp with a black face, the two groups of soldiers were still facing each other in tension;

He had known that the Xishan battalion headquarters was full of infighting and contradictions, but he didn't expect it to reach this point.

When the people at the foot of the mountain were brutally poisoned and the enemy had already attacked the door, the officers and men of the two factions still did not give an inch for some trivial issues, such as command, weapon distribution, and property disposal, and were unable to send a single soldier to reinforce them. The workers at the battalion headquarters and the civilians who had taken refuge also unconditionally supported the children of their faction, and followed their respective camps to accuse each other, and even prepared to fight.

Keith stepped forward and scolded, "The enemy has reached the doorstep, what are you still doing?" Can't you see the deputy gang leader arrive, hurry up and put down your weapons for me! ”

However, soldiers and civilians on both sides still refused to listen;

"Deputy Gang Leader Ao, if you kill us, I will also kill these strangers who forcibly occupy our land first!"

"Bah, you ungrateful natives, without our people fighting bloodily, you were all sold as slaves by the landlord and beaten to death!"

"It was we who took in you beggars who fled the famine first, otherwise you would not be where you are today!"

"Fart, every inch of our land is reclaimed barren mountains and snatched from landlords and tyrants, how many of your people have we rescued, how much land and property have been distributed to you, and now you don't admit it?"

……

The last time I came here, the army and the people were still in harmony, and the common people were rushing to bring local products to Oster, chasing cars and running; I didn't expect it to be like this in just a few months.

Oster watched silently, along the way, the tragic situation of the villages and towns that were plagued by the return to the hometown group was vivid, and at the foot of the mountain, the bones of the people who were coerced by the officials and soldiers were not cold. Under the current situation of the great enemy, the two factions of the Hakka and the Turks are still attacking each other despite the imminent catastrophe, and fighting infighting to the point that the entire battalion headquarters is paralyzed;

The officers and soldiers of the two factions and the civilians were like enemies of life and death at this time, and it was completely impossible to imagine that they were still fighting side by side not long ago. It is so easy to create estrangements between people and groups.

Seeing the two gangs arguing and pushing endlessly, Auster became irritable. The fact that Sashu turned off the phone again made him very annoyed; What's more, he paid the price of becoming a tabula rasa, and these people who were saved by magic were tied hand and foot because of trivial things.

Without saying a word, Oster walked straight through the crowd and sat down on the ground, glaring at the two gangs arguing in front of him.

His hair stood on end, and his dark face was very threatening, and everyone was shocked by him, and the field was quiet for a while. After all, this is a man who has just summoned a legendary meteorite technique and stoned thousands of officers and soldiers to death.

Seeing that the people on both sides were dumb, Oster spread his hands and said, "What are you waiting for, continue to quarrel, do something, what does it matter to me?" Shoot! ”

Officers and civilians alike looked at him in silence and bewildered.

"What are you all looking at me, waiting for me to be the referee? Who do you think I am, scoundrel? Sage? Monster? Savior? - I'm telling you, no, I'm a liar! Oster yelled, and because he was in a bad mood, he suddenly decided not to act;

- A cowardly, weak and incompetent liar! Everything about me is made up and imagined by your brains! ”

As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy battalion headquarters was completely quiet. Oster simply crossed his legs, sat on the ground without raising his head, and began to babble;

"What red-haired villains, what saints descend to earth, it's all your own delusions. I'm just a scrappy, straw bale, incompetent. That's right, because of a coincidence, I got some spell-casting ability, and I just summoned a meteorite with a bang; But that's all borrowed, and when it's used up, it's gone. If you don't believe it, you can try, now I am a blank slate, a knife and a brick can kill me, how can there be any invincible people in this world? ”

Keith was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Deputy Gang Leader, how can such an important matter be ......?"

Oster interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and continued, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, I joined the rebels because my spells ran out, and I was wanted, and I was penniless; Seeing that there was a huge momentum here, there were guns and cannons, so I ran over and looked for a backer. I believe that many people, like me, choose to join the rebel army, just to eat and drink spicy food and soar. What a normal thought! Now, seeing that the situation is not good, I am thinking about running away all the time. After all, we joined the rebels just to live a good life, and our lives are gone, so what else can we have? ”

The officers and men all stared blankly at Oster. Case, Pullman, and the other guards were also surprised, and couldn't understand why he said such a thing. Oster went on slowly;

"In fact, on the way here, there were several times when I had already left the group and was ready to wait for an opportunity to slip away. However, in the end, he could not run away. Why? Because I've seen this—"

As he spoke, he raised his hand behind him, and the black pressed a large area of refugees who had been brought in.

Some were encountered on the way, and some were just rescued at the bottom of the mountain; All of them were described as withered, with tears on their faces not dry, and some were still holding the ashes and relics of their relatives.

“…… This is Danny of Tar Village, his father was hacked to death by the return group, his mother was killed after being ruined, there are more than 230 households in the village, and there are still 18 people left. Those were the people of Niwan Town, which had been burned to the ground, and there were one hundred and seventy-three people buried, including forty-three children. In Oak Village, all the young and middle-aged people in the village were sold as slaves by the bandits and locked in the cellar, and after the militia beat them, the bandits blew up the cellar, and finally no one was dug up alive. There are also Shili Village, Xiangyang Village, and Yushui Village...... When we passed by, we didn't see a single person. I wish they had fled and taken refuge in the mountains, and their homes had been looted and burned to the ground. ”

The audience was silent, and even a pin could be heard falling to the ground.

Oster pressed his knees, slowly stood up, and looked around at the crowd;

"I don't know what an ideal is or what an ism is. I'm not like Scalar, like many of the parers, who make it my duty to change the world and ask for the lives of the people, and I don't understand those things. However, even if I am so greedy for life and afraid of death, and only seek self-preservation, after witnessing those acts that are inferior to animals, I still can't stand it, and I still can't control my own hands. No, in the end, I came back obediently. ”

Oster said, walking over to the group and saying to the soldiers, who had just been arguing and shoving, "I heard what you were arguing about. It was he who injured your brother, you robbed his property, your mother fell to her death in the fight between the two villages, and his daughter-in-law ran away with the outsider, right? That's right, for ordinary people, these are already deep hatreds, and life in the world is actually to live for this benefit.

But I also want you to recall that it was really just for a little profit to risk killing your head and wearing a red mask to join the rebels. Do you have something in your heart that is just like me that you just can't stand to look at? Are these people in front of you who really trample everyone under their feet and arbitrarily humiliate, plunder, and slaughter them? Are those contradictions between you really more important than that? ”

When Oster finished speaking, everyone fell silent. Listening to his words, the chests of the soldiers in front of him rose and fell violently, and tears slid down their cheeks;

Only to hear the sound of "dang dang chang", and the knives and guns slipped from their hands. A moment later, more soldiers and civilians dropped their weapons and slowly stepped forward, trying to regain the hands of their comrades and compatriots, and whispered with tears in their eyes, "I'm sorry." "Please forgive me."

Witnessing this scene, the guards were also moved to tears. Pullman couldn't stop wiping away tears and said to Keith beside him, "Brother Caith, what do you say it takes to become a person like the deputy gang leader?" ”

Keith, on the other hand, seemed to ponder what Oster had said.

Here, the side effects of Oster's magic gradually subsided, and he finally came to his senses; He didn't even know what he was talking about.

I wanted to reprimand the soldiers of the two factions who were still fighting among the enemy, but because of their bad mood and the fact that their minds were in a state of confusion, they gave up on themselves in a self-defeating speech.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it had a positive effect and successfully reminded the soldiers of their original intention of raising the banner of rebellion. At least on the bright side, the gap between the military and the people of the two factions has been temporarily eliminated.

Where he didn't notice, Sashu quietly turned on the machine automatically, reading and detecting all this. On the interface, the charge bar under the giant's left hand slowly rises, and it is displayed on the side; [Motivation behavior is detected, and will points are obtained.] Leader approval rises to 85%. 】
