Ahmed returned to the mountains.

As a highly prestigious chief, he quickly convinced everyone, including the three chiefs who were least supportive of surrender.

Next, it is time to formally surrender.

They sealed up the former cave, where some weapons, equipment for producing ammunition, even equipment for receiving solar power generation, crop seeds, etc. were stored.

Outside the cave, with the detonation of explosives, the cave was officially sealed.

Ahmed was watching this scene not far away, and the leaders of several mountain warriors around him had different thoughts in their eyes.

Some are calm, some are melancholy, and some are reluctant to let go.

This was a deliberate arrangement by Ahmed. These sealed supplies were to be used in case they felt uncomfortable staying in the Blueprint Garrison and defected again.

Although it may not be useful, but what if?

Anyway, these weapons and equipment will be of no use after they join Li Xin, so it is better to leave them here.

Ahmed turned around and looked at all the mountain warriors lined up on the side.

Almost all the 1,500 people are here, except for some who are on guard outside.

Gradually, everyone's eyes fell on Ahmed.

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "All the mountain warriors!"

"We have been fighting for the freedom and liberation of this land for fifty or sixty years, and during this time, we have done a lot!"

"We will fight against the invaders from Rhodes Power, the Locke Kingdom, and their lackeys!"

"We fought against the Blueprint Biotech garrison and caused them a lot of trouble!"

"We are brave and good at fighting, but we are also flesh and blood. We have sacrificed a lot over the past few decades!"

"Some people can't understand why I would lead us mountain warriors to join the Blueprint Biotech garrison."

"Shouldn't we be enemies?"

There was a small commotion and discussion below, because what Ahmed said was exactly what these people were thinking.

Ahmed reached out his hand and pressed it down, using his authority to silence the discussions in the audience.

He continued, "Among the current mountain warriors, some grew up in the organization, while others joined later."

"But no matter who they are, their original intention is to liberate Yadun and to allow all the people here to live a good life without worries about food and clothing."

"Fifty or sixty years ago, we joined Rhodes Power for exactly this reason!"

"But Rhodes Power was too brutal and oppressed the Adon people too harshly, so we defected and began to fight them!"

"But now, Blueprint Biotech is also changing Aden. Some of you have recently visited the Aden settlement, and I have been there too."

“There are huge changes happening there, and everything is getting better!”

"Isn't this the ideal of us mountain warriors? Isn't the reason for our existence to make the people of Aden live a good life?"

"Now that we have this opportunity, we should continue along this path."

"I hope Yadun can have a bright future, with the elderly well cared for, the children well educated, and the young people able to find jobs and support their families!"

"If we continue to resist or even attack Yadun while he is getting better, we will interrupt the process."

"Then we are not mountain warriors. This is not the ideal we fight for!"

"Join the Blueprint's garrison. We are not fighting for the Blueprint, we are fighting for the safety and happiness of the people of Yadun!"

"Are you willing to let the people of Yadun live a life that is better than it is now, twice as good, or even ten times better?"

The scattered voices from the audience gradually gathered together:

"willing!"

"willing!"

Finally, it even echoed in the valley like thunder.

Ahmed's eyes were filled with tears. He suppressed the sound that was about to choke and said calmly, "Let's go!"

More than a thousand people were divided into several teams and walked along the mountain road.

It took them several days to finally reach the outside of the settlement.

Here, Ahmed looks forward.

The situation now is completely different from the last time I came.

As if it was arranged in advance, many residents here walked out of their houses and waited for something on the streets.

A portion of the garrison troops, which had been almost trained, were drawn up and lined up in the streets and even outside the settlements.

Flowers made of chemical plastic were placed outside, as if they were holding a grand welcome ceremony.

Among the crowd of mountain warriors, some people saw these scenes and covered their mouths in shock.

Even Ahmed couldn't help but exclaim: "This is truly the most beautiful scene I have ever seen in my life."

He waved his hand: "Let's go!"

The mountain warriors slowly approached the settlement. They were thin and poorly dressed, but the tough temperament of the young men and their ignorant eyes created a strong contrast.

They looked at the crowd and the neatly arranged flowers curiously.

Along with the music, a female voice rang out: "Today is a day worth being happy about!"

"For the people of Aden and for regional peace in Aden, the heroic mountain warriors finally came down from the mountains and joined our Aden garrison!"

"From now on, we will fight together for the peace and development of Yadun!"

"Protect a better Yadun and let everyone live a happy and fulfilling life!"

“Let’s welcome them!!”

As the sound came to an end, the residents applauded enthusiastically, their cheers and excitement were beyond words.

Li Xin was watching this scene from a small building in the distance with a smile on his face.

For this moment, he also paid a lot. The least he could do was to mobilize some logistical supplies and place part of the transformation pilot project in this settlement.

These residents have recently noticed changes taking place. They are having more meals, the surroundings are becoming safer, and everything is slowly getting better.

Not everyone yearns for a free and chaotic life. More people yearn for safety and stability.

Among the mountain warriors, many of them seemed to be soothed at this moment because of their original anxiety.

The cheerful atmosphere and mood are very contagious to everyone. Among the mountain warriors, there are not only combatants, but also many elderly, weak, sick and disabled people who are more susceptible to infection.

Ahmed raised his head in the crowd and looked at a familiar place.

Sure enough, he saw Li Xin in a neat military uniform at a glance. Li Xin was still standing on the balcony of the small building, with his hands on the railing, looking at this side with a smile on his face.

Ahmed bowed slightly and saluted in the direction of Li Xin.
