Yes? Why?
This time, the officer was even more confused. If he admitted that Noxus' war was just and that Noxus was united as one, then why would they be defeated here? Why would so many people die without any substantial progress?
It wasn't just because the Ionians were strong. Even though they were strong, they were nothing in the face of war weapons. However, they still paid an unimaginable price. The soldiers that they sent were killed by the poison of their own people and the Ionians. The conquered Ionians were even more unsightly. Those who lived here didn't seem to understand what it meant to be strong. They were cowardly weaklings. However, it was such a weakling that caused them to suffer a crushing defeat, causing the deaths of countless of their brothers and sisters.
Why was this so?
"If anything is broken from the root, then no matter how wonderful the goal or belief is, it is nothing more than a rotten and stinking thing. Do you think it's right to send children to the battlefield to win the sympathy of the enemy and then kill them? "
Li Ke revealed what he saw in the woman's memories. It was also the method of war that the Noxus people discovered. They forcefully recruited the orphans of Noxus into the army and sent them to the battlefield of Ionia because they discovered that the Ionians would have huge psychological fluctuations when facing the young soldiers. This caused them to reveal their weaknesses, allowing the Noxus people to defeat the weak Ionians.
This was a real strategy and was approved by Swein, just like how the alchemy poison was used to bombard the chaotic battlefield.
"As long as it can make Noxus stronger, yes."
"Then are you willing to let your children join these children and be killed by the Ionians just to make them reveal their weaknesses?"
"I … I don't have children, so I can't answer."
"Then let me ask you, if your parents had sent you to a battlefield where you would surely die when you were still young and had you serve Noxus loyally, would you hate them?"
"… Yes. But General, this world is cruel. These orphans can't survive. Our strategy is to give them a chance to prove their worth and stand out. As long as they survive, they will be nurtured by the Empire and truly join the Empire's army! They will gradually become stronger! After all, they have nothing in the first place! "
"Is that so? Then who turned them into orphans? "
The officer was speechless because it was obvious. These orphans were turned into orphans because of the continuous wars of the Empire. Most of their parents died in other battlefields of the Empire. That was why the Noxus could gather enough orphans and send them to the battlefield to disturb the mentality of the Ionians.
"They, they are the children of the weak … So …"
The officer wanted to say that Noxus was right, but he immediately recalled that many of the soldiers he brought here had their own children and they were all dead. This meant that they were weak and their children were also weak. Then, why did he feel so lost? After all, they were all weaklings, right? But …
"Their deaths were my orders. Soldiers who follow the orders of their superiors are strong, but soldiers who die in battle are weak. But those soldiers who were killed by their own orders and carried out their orders wholeheartedly … Are they also weak?"
The officer fell into a state of confusion. He couldn't continue because he thought of something else. Since those who died were weak, why hadn't the strong defeated Ionia yet? Did this mean that there were still weak soldiers among the officers? And there were a lot of them? If there were weak soldiers among the officers who survived the war, did it mean that … the weak weren't truly eliminated?
Who were the strong soldiers?
The dead soldiers were weak. They were Noxus people.
The dead orphans were weak because they were the children of the weak.
Wasn't Noxus a country where the strong gathered? Why were there so many weak soldiers?
Were the nobles the only strong soldiers?
"It seems like you've thought of something. Then I'll ask you one last question. If you're fighting to become strong, then what is the purpose of becoming strong? Is it purely for survival? The strong should have everything. But do you still have the things you lost before you became strong? "
After saying this, he got up and left the place. The officer was even more confused. He recalled his former family. He recalled that woman who was not very smart. However, when he wanted to recall the happiness in his ordinary life, he couldn't remember the last time he met that woman. When did he feel that happiness?
Then, the moment Li Ke left the tent, he remembered that the woman was already considered weak by him, and that she had died on the battlefield of Shurima.
"General, I …"
He only had one question to ask Li Ke, but he received more questions. He wanted Li Ke to answer him, but Li Ke just waved his hand. He didn't intend to say more to this unknown person in the game. After all, even if this person awakened, he was just a confused and self-righteous murderer. In his country, no matter how regretful this person was, and how much he wanted to contribute to the world of justice, he still had to pay for his actions with his life.
He would die, even if he awakened. Not only because of what he did, but also because Li Ke always wanted to let the person know why he died.
This was the heart of a murderer.
He, Li Ke, was such an evil person.
"If you don't understand, take a look at the book I brought. I'm sure my crew will be happy to give you a copy."
He waved his hand and glanced at a certain part of the tent. He smiled at the uninvited guest who had a good figure, then walked into the wilderness. The uninvited guest who had been eavesdropping on Li Ke's conversation with the officer gave him a deep look. Then, he used his magic and followed Li Ke out of the military camp.
This uninvited guest was the Shadow Fist, Plum Eye.
