Ye Nu and Ye Wei didn't speak for a long time. They were shocked, but at the same time, they thought of a heavy matter. They were not pure martial cultivators. Although they had heard of the Demonic Emperor's strength, they had never thought that he would be so heaven-defying. They couldn't help but think that with such a person, which country could truly be at peace? What was his purpose in helping Tenryū Province defeat Gale Province … If one day he reached out to Tenryū Province, what could they do to resist?
This worry was like a huge rock, pressing down on them so heavily that they couldn't breathe. Although Gale Country was strong, they could still resist. But if it was an enemy like the Demonic Emperor, how could they resist? In front of him, millions of soldiers were nothing but a group of ants.
"Back then, Chu Cang Ming used the Sword God Formation to summon thousands of sword shadows to force you back. I'm not trying to scare you. I'll give you ten minutes. You only have two choices. One is to die, and the other is to surrender!"
"There's no need!" Yue Handong was shocked, but he didn't show any fear. "Our Gale Country will only die in battle, not surrender! Don't even think about it! We'd rather be soldiers who die in battle than be slaves who submit! "
"Rather be a soldier who dies in battle than a slave who surrenders. General Yue's moral integrity is truly admirable … … Since you've made such a choice, I will naturally fulfill your wish. However, what right do you have to represent the millions of people behind you? What right do you have to control their life and death and interfere with their choices? "
"Hahahaha!" Yue Handong laughed loudly. "Every man of Gale Country is indomitable. Since we joined the army, we all knew that we would die on the battlefield one day. Not only me, but all the soldiers of Gale Country have never feared the word 'death'."
"Howl! Howl! "
Yue Handong's heroic words stirred up their unyielding blood. The shouts of millions of people shook the earth. Under the influence of their commander and companions, death suddenly didn't seem so scary anymore. Even the ice in the sky didn't seem so terrifying anymore. They straightened their backs, gazed forward, and shouted at the top of their lungs …
"Hahahaha, hahahaha …" The Evil Emperor let out a laugh that was a thousand times more arrogant than Yue Handong's. That was a mocking laugh that was not concealed at all. He looked down at the people below him and said with disdain, "Dying on the battlefield … How laughable. In front of this Emperor, there is no war at all. There will only be a one-sided massacre by this Emperor. As for all of you, you are just a bunch of lowly ants that will die under my hands. Dying on the battlefield is when a soldier of a country dies on the battlefield to defend the country against the enemy. Every one of them is a hero. But you all died in vain at the hands of someone who killed you with a flip of his hand. Your death is meaningless and worthless. After death, you will only become a stepping stone for me to intimidate the world, and will only arouse the pity of others. General Yue, your words' dying on the battlefield 'really make me laugh my head off … "
"… You!" Yue Handong's body stiffened and trembled. In his anger, he was speechless. The words of the Demonic Emperor had directly hit the Achilles' heel that they couldn't refute. The soldiers of Gale Country were also stunned. The surging momentum of the millions of soldiers was instantly suppressed by the words of the Demonic Emperor.
Yes, if they died at the hands of the Demonic Emperor, they would only die in vain. Not on the battlefield, not in resistance. After death, there would only be rumors that they disobeyed the orders of the Demonic Emperor and died at his hands. Perhaps there would be praise, but more people would only feel pity, and even ridicule them for overestimating their own strength.
"Soldiers of Gale Country, let me ask you … Why did you join the army?" The Demonic Emperor said in a deep voice. His voice floated in the air, and all the soldiers of Gale Country could hear it clearly. Everyone felt as if the voice was ringing in their ears …
"You don't need to answer. I know, and so does everyone in the world. The Gale Country suffers from sandstorms all year round. The environment is harsh, and the land is barren. Generation after generation has lived a miserable life. The old always pass away before they are seventy years old, and children always die so easily … "
In addition to the voice of the Demonic Emperor, the scene of more than a million people suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The millions of soldiers of Gale Country all looked at the Demonic Emperor in the sky and fell into a daze. What the Demonic Emperor said was the suffering that was buried deep in their hearts, generation after generation.
"On the other hand, the people of Tenryū Province in the east are peaceful, beautiful, and rich. Everyone has enough to eat and wear. You are envious and jealous … What you want most is for yourself, your family, and your descendants to live such a life. The Gale Country has never taken the initiative to recruit soldiers, because every one of you is more eager to become a soldier, eager to conquer Tenryū Province one day …
"In the eyes of the people of Tenryū Province, in the eyes of the people of the world, you are a group of bandits who want to plunder others. However, you would rather bear the name of bandits than retreat or regret it, because you have to fight for hope for yourselves, for your families, and for your descendants …"
The Demonic Emperor's voice was gentle. His voice was like clear water, slowly flowing into everyone's ears and into the hearts of every soldier of Gale Country. What the Demonic Emperor said was the greatest desire in their hearts … The people of Gale Country had suffered for too many years, and they were not willing to let their descendants bear the suffering that they had endured for so many years. Therefore, they said goodbye to their parents, wives, and children, left their homeland, and abandoned everything. With the determination to die in battle, they took the initiative to become bandits who invaded others …
Ye Nu also let out a long sigh. Was Gale Country's invasion wrong? It was wrong, but it was also not wrong … The real mistake was the sandstorm that swept through most of Gale Country's territory … They had to pave the way for the future.
"Gale Country's Emperor, Feng Lie, has the ambition to rule the world, but you are fighting for yourselves, your families, and your descendants. If you die in my hands today, what will you gain? Reputation? Honor? Laughable … Then what will you lose? You will lose your lives. You can die without fear, but what is the reason for you to join the army? You are fighting for your families. If you die, what will happen to your families … Don't you dare to think about it? Then let me tell you one by one … Your parents will send off their children, and when they grow old, they will have no one to rely on, and they will spend their days in depression. Some of your wives will marry and become someone else's wife, and your children will be bullied or even abandoned in a strange family. Some will be widowed for life, and their wives and children will be bullied by the world, and no one will protect them … This is what you have obtained by sacrificing your lives … Do you really want to die so badly? "
No matter what era of war it was, parents, wives, and children would be the first to be asked to surrender, and this would always be the most effective words to persuade the enemy to surrender … A person could be unafraid of life and death, but what he cared about the most and couldn't abandon was always his family. And this time, the Evil Emperor spoke out the details one by one. Every word struck the deepest part of everyone's heart, and the effect it produced was undoubtedly magnified many times.
Ye Wuchen was also afraid of death. He was not afraid of losing his life, but afraid of how many people would be heartbroken after his death, and how many people would be helpless and helpless. He had always thought that the most selfish and hateful people in the world were those who committed suicide. They would happily end their lives, and from then on, they would have no worries and worries, but leave the pain to those who cared and loved them.
The crowd began to stir, and countless people in the quiet Gale Army began to tremble slightly. They suddenly began to feel afraid, afraid that they would really die here today, leaving behind their families who had no one to rely on … They would have a reason to die in vain … Not only them, but the soldiers of the Sunflower Water Army and the Canglan Army were also deeply touched.
Yue Handong watched the uneasiness and turmoil in the army, and let out a long sigh. What the Evil Emperor was attacking was an irresistible and unbreakable weakness. And he was also thinking about his daughter, who still hadn't heard from him. If he died, who could save her … Even if she returned home safely, who could she rely on for the rest of her life?
"If I wanted all of you to die, it would be a simple matter, and I wouldn't need to waste my breath on you, but I still can't bear to see so many of my family members suffer because of this. Fine, I'll make one last deal with all of you … And this is also the last bit of my patience. " The Evil Emperor paused, then slowly and clearly said in a low voice, "The cause of your suffering is the violent sandstorm that has covered most of Gale Country. As long as all of you submit to Tenryū Province today, the entire Gale Country will submit to Tenryū Province, and the emperor of Tenryū Province, the Flying Phoenix Empress, will become the emperor, then I will solve this sandstorm within a month! Otherwise, this land will be your burial ground. The Evil Sect will help Sky Dragon to defeat Gale Country, and in half a year at most, the entire Gale Country will become Sky Dragon's territory. I'll give you half an hour, make your own choice! "
Solve the sandstorm problem within a month!?
The soldiers of Gale Country were dumbfounded, as if they were listening to a fairy tale …
The Evil Emperor was very powerful, a hundred or even a thousand times more powerful than they had imagined, but no matter how powerful he was … the sandstorm that had covered most of Gale Country, a quarter of the Tianchen Continent, had been recorded since the beginning of human existence, which meant that the sandstorm had always existed, and had never stopped. It was not something that humans could control!
But what if he could really do it?
If the sandstorm was really gone, they could live a peaceful and stable life. Even if they were poor, they could rely on their own hands to live and work in peace and contentment … Then, why would there be a need for war? Why would they risk their lives to fight for it? If they could live a peaceful life, who would be willing to shed blood on the battlefield? Who would be willing to see the flames of war ignite? Surrender to Tenryū Province … If they could have such a future, then their children and descendants would no longer have to suffer as they had. It was just a change of country's name, and a change of emperor, why would they not be willing … To them, who could not even keep a peaceful life, did it really matter whether their country was Gale Country or Sky Dragon, and who the emperor was?
No, it really didn't matter. They were not great heroes who were loyal and courageous, who valued the integrity of their clan more than their own lives. They were just ordinary people who sought peace and stability. Most of them even dreamed that they were people of Tenryū Province, and hoped that one day they could set foot in Tenryū Province and settle down in Sky Dragon.
The morale of the soldiers of Gale Country was shaken. Everyone was shocked by the Evil Emperor's words. What they cared about the most was whether the Evil Emperor's words were true, or if it was just a big lie he had made up to subdue this army of a million soldiers. If it was true … then someone who could influence such a huge force of nature … Was he really human? Just how powerful had his power reached!?
Yue Handong was also moved. He pointed at the Evil Emperor and shouted, "Evil Emperor … don't you dare talk nonsense. The sand disaster of my Gale Country is not something a human can control. Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?! "
"Ha!" The Evil Emperor chuckled. "Then how about this emperor swears in the name of the Evil Emperor?"
"The name of the Evil Emperor … Hahahaha, ridiculous. You, the Evil Emperor, are only known for bullying others with your power, cruel and murderous reputation. What qualifications do you have to make us believe you!" Yue Handong said mercilessly.
The Evil Emperor was silent. Under the silver mask, a pair of eyes suddenly shot out a frightening light that pierced through the two holes in the mask and landed on Yue Handong. The Evil Emperor's silence caused the world to fall silent. Everyone held their breath and looked at him nervously. Yue Handong's merciless words had clearly angered the Evil Emperor … and it was rumored that anyone who dared to offend the Evil Emperor would die a horrible death … At the very least, they would die without a complete corpse.
Yue Handong fearlessly stared back at him, a disdainful sneer on his face. Suddenly, the Evil Emperor's eyes became indifferent, no longer as cold as they had been before. In an instant, those two eyes also disappeared. The Evil Emperor closed his eyes, then slowly opened them. He looked forward and slowly said, "Then in the name of the Yeh family of Tenryū Province!!"
As his voice fell, the Evil Emperor waved his hand in the air. His silver coat, silver cloak, and silver mask were all sent flying with a wave of his hand. They floated through the air and landed on the ground.
In front of millions of people, he had taken off the Evil Emperor's clothes.
