"But they're not soul masters. They're ordinary people. Obuchi, how can you kill them?" Zhu Zhuqing said.
"Pedantic. They're not ordinary people. They're soldiers. They're killing machines on the battlefield. If soul masters kill innocent civilians as they please, then their crimes are unforgivable. However, no soldier on the battlefield is innocent."
"They're on the battlefield to kill their enemies. If they want to kill others, they naturally have to be prepared to be killed."
"Since ancient times, I've only heard that killing captives is ominous. Massacring a city is inhumane and devoid of conscience. I've never heard of anyone being criticized for destroying an army of a million."
"When two parties are enemies, isn't it normal to destroy the enemy's army?"
"How can there be no deaths in war?"
"Furthermore, I've given them a chance. As long as they surrender, nothing will happen. It's up to them to decide."
"I won't kill captives."
"Being lenient to captives is called being merciful. Being merciful to enemies who haven't laid down their weapons is a fool."
Lu Yuan said plainly.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's face turned white and red. This was the first time Lu Yuan had spoken to her in such a tone.
"Zhuqing, I know you're kind-hearted. However, being kind-hearted depends on the occasion. Haven't you never been merciful to soul masters who are your enemies? Why are you so soft-hearted today? Is it just because these soldiers aren't soul masters? "
Lu Yuan asked.
"Yes, we're soul masters. It's not right for us to attack ordinary people. I can't accept it. Furthermore, if we kill more than two hundred thousand people, the sin of killing will be too heavy. I'm worried that it'll affect you negatively."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Yuan with concern in her eyes.
"I understand. Actually, I don't want to kill them. However, if they refuse to surrender and resist, I can't do anything. After all, some people have raised their weapons against me. I can't be merciful. However, you don't have to worry. Lin Yuanzhen, the Star Luo Army God, is dead. The faith in these soldiers has been destroyed. Their fighting spirit has been greatly reduced."
"In addition to the explosion of the soul tools and the bombardment of the stationary soul cannons, the terrifying might of the divine punishment has already frightened them. I'm afraid they don't have the guts to fight us again."
"Sister Xiaotao, the success rate of persuading them to surrender is at least 90%. It can be said that they will definitely surrender. After all, being able to live is better than being dead. Furthermore, ordinary soldiers may not be that loyal to the Star Luo Imperial Family. All they want is food and shelter."
Lu Yuan said with a smile.
"So, in fact, you've already thought about it in your heart. Then why did you deliberately ask us?"
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but ask when she recalled Lu Yuan's question.
"I just want to understand your thoughts. I also want to take this opportunity to change your mindset," Lu Yuan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but roll her eyes and feel slightly speechless.
Soon, a red light flashed, and Ma Xiaotao returned.
"Sister Xiaotao, what's the result?" Lu Yuan asked.
"There are some die-hard loyalists who refuse to surrender, but they have been killed by their subordinates. The remaining people are willing to submit to us," Ma Xiaotao said.
"With an army of over two hundred thousand, it's normal for there to be a few people who are loyal to Dai Tianfeng. However, the majority of them are still sensible. Since they are willing to surrender, then let's accept them. Sect Leader Fu, go back and call that old fellow Zhu Junlin over. I'll leave these two hundred thousand troops to you."
"It doesn't matter if we change the generals or brainwash them, we must completely subdue these two hundred thousand soldiers. Also, many of them are injured. The two of you must pay attention to the treatment of their injuries."
"After the training, this army will be divided into two groups. They will be stationed in Sky Sound City and Senyue City respectively."
Lu Yuan said plainly.
"Yes, Hallmaster. Hallmaster, what are your plans after this?" Fu Yinheng asked curiously after hearing Lu Yuan's words.
After hearing what Lu Yuan and the rest said, they seemed to have other places to go.
"I do have some plans. Sect Leader Fu, you've seen the power of the stationary soul cannon just now. Do you think it'll be interesting if I fire a few cannons at the Star Luo Imperial Palace and blow it up into the sky?"
Lu Yuan asked with a smile.
"Hallmaster wants to blow up the Star Luo Palace?" Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Fu Yinheng couldn't help but blush with shame. This Hallmaster is a little daring. However, his Hallmaster has always been like this.
"Yes, Dai Tianfeng actually dared to send an army to attack me. I have to return the favor. This is called reciprocity. Furthermore, if I don't hurt him, how can he be obedient?"
"What if he comes to find trouble with Sky Sound City and Senyue City after I leave? We have to guard against that. "Lu Yuan sighed.
"Hallmaster, you're right." Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Fu Yinheng couldn't help but nod.
Now that Lu Yuan and the rest were here, Dai Tianfeng didn't dare to provoke them after experiencing this crushing defeat. However, once Lu Yuan left, Dai Tianfeng might come to settle the score.
If Lu Yuan blew up the Star Luo Palace, Dai Tianfeng would be extremely wary of him. Then, Dai Tianfeng wouldn't act rashly before he had the confidence to deal with Lu Yuan. Sky Sound City and Senyue City wouldn't be in too much danger.
The Hallmaster was very considerate.
"Then, Hallmaster, are you going to set off now?" Fu Yinheng asked.
"Of course. Speed is the most important thing in war. I'll take a stroll in the Star Luo Palace first. While Dai Tianfeng is still waiting for me to be captured, I'll suddenly throw Lin Yuanzhen's head in front of him. His expression should be very interesting then. Furthermore, I want to take advantage of the fact that he's unprepared to wipe out the remaining three thousand members of the White Tiger Legion."
"I want to completely destroy the White Tiger Legion. Without the soul master legion, the Star Luo Royal Family will be much less of a threat. At the very least, even if they send an army to attack, without the soul master legion, you'll be able to retreat with ease."
Lu Yuan said.
"Hallmaster, you're right." Fu Yinheng nodded in agreement. Without the Soul Master Legion, even if Dai Tianfeng sent out an army of a million, they could still retreat quickly. How could an ordinary army catch up to a Soul Master?
"Then it's settled. Sister Xiaotao, you stay behind to help Sect Master Fu and the rest maintain order. As for Zhuqing, do you want to go to the Star Luo Palace with me?"
Lu Yuan asked.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing nodded lightly.
"Alright, since that's the case, Elder Long, Elder Xuan, and Hallmaster Hongchen, let's set off now." Lu Yuan said gently.
