The meaning of the helmet was conveyed throughout the tavern.
Everyone listened to him quietly.
Peace should not come in such a dramatic way; it would be unfair to all the fighters.
For a moment, they felt a little nervous.
"So what should we do? Disrupt the peace talks? How could that be possible? That was the peace talks that the Buddha had agreed upon. Not only us, but even the Marshal wouldn't be able to stop it."
The general said sternly.
Zhou glanced at him, nodded and said.
[Yes, it is true that we cannot prevent peace talks, but we can decide where the next war will begin.]
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire tavern was in an uproar.
"Are you crazy? We finally achieved peace, and you're going to start another war?"
[We just don't want our brothers to die in vain, but that doesn't mean we want them to continue dying.]
A few ants threw stones at Zhou angrily.
Zhou did not dodge or evade, allowing the stones to be thrown at him.
[But if they don't continue to die, then it will inevitably mean that their deaths will be in vain. If we continue the war and determine a winner, then not only will their deaths not be in vain, but neither will yours.]
Zhou was like a fanatical warmonger, but his expression was very calm and there was no sign of his fanaticism for war.
The people in the tavern calmed down.
They seemed to be really thinking about this.
If the war ended here, it would indeed mean that everyone would have died in vain.
Both wars were fought in vain.
No one benefited from it, whether it was the Bamboo Forest World or the Tian'en Empire, all they got were piles of bones.
This is something that both sides cannot easily accept.
But...what if we continue fighting?
Yes, there is a high probability that they will die.
But they also have a good chance of winning.
Win this war, occupy the beautiful and vast world on the other side, drink the strongest wine in the other world, and pick up the most beautiful girl in the other world.
Who doesn't yearn for adventure in another world?
At that time, they and their descendants will become superior people of the main world.
And the Bamboo Forest World will become a subsidiary.
This is not because they are arrogant.
Their commander beat the two Daoyun realm masters from the Bamboo Forest World so hard that they couldn't breathe.
The man who instigated them could not possibly kill the emperor under the protection of his mother.
As long as the fighting continues, the Bamboo Forest World will be defeated.
How does this benefit your world?
Some ants were not completely brainwashed by Zhou.
They are not fools either.
The Tian'en Empire has the advantage, so they don't want the war to end so hastily.
And what about the bamboo forest world?
Besides humans, oh no, there are more ants.
Is there anything that can compare to the Tian'en Empire?
What was the intention of one of the supreme commanders of this bamboo forest world coming here to incite war?
No one will do something that has no benefit to himself.
Zhou will come to them to incite war.
Then, he must be prepared that the Bamboo Forest World, or at least he himself, will benefit from this war.
They are not so stupid as to make wedding dresses for others.
[Me? What good would that do me? I've been with the soldiers day and night, fighting my way up from the bottom.]
[Initially, our world was divided into two factions, Buzhou Mountain and Xia Kingdom, amidst internal strife.]
【I belong to the Buzhou Mountain faction.】
We have been fighting this war for hundreds of years, but there is still no clear winner.
[But suddenly, everything changed. You appeared. You are the most powerful enemy we have ever seen. We need to unite to fight you.]
[But...hundreds of years and countless blood have been shed in vain.]
"I'm unwilling to accept this, but you're very powerful. If I insist on continuing the war with the Xia Nation, I'll be a sinner to the entire world."
[But I've already experienced so many soldiers and so much blood shed in vain once, and I don't want to go through that kind of unwillingness a second time.]
Zhou spoke with tears in his eyes.
The people in the tavern seemed to see in Zhou's description a general who had risen from the grassroots level through military merit.
He was sympathetic to his subordinates, he shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, he stood at the grassroots level and denounced those high-ranking officials who decided the life and death of thousands of soldiers with a wave of their hands.
He stood among the crowd and accused the rulers who were high above and indifferent to life.
Gentlemen, rise up! Our comrades' blood will no longer be shed in vain. We refuse to negotiate peace. We would rather have a fair, honest victory than the Buddha's mediation.
Who is he? Why would he want to mediate our war? Has he ever seen his comrades blown to dust beside him? Has he ever seen the brother he was talking to just a moment ago reduced to ash in the blink of an eye?
He doesn't! He's high and mighty, commanding the world, looking down on all living things, and claiming to be compassionate. He's a complete hypocrite!
If he is truly merciful, why didn't he mediate our war at the beginning?
【Extremely hypocritical! 】
The concentration of the helmet's pheromones became increasingly stronger, creating an effect similar to a human's excited shout.
All the soldiers in the tavern were completely mobilized by him.
Everyone was holding up their wine glasses, waving them and emitting their pheromones.
【General's righteousness! 】
The Buddha was extremely hypocritical. If he truly cared about sentient beings, if he truly had compassion, he should have intervened to stop the war as soon as it began.
[Even though we are enemies, we respect the general who works so hard for his men!]
Occasionally, two soldiers who were more sober would want to say something.
But he was drowned in this crazy wave.
Scenes like this are not unique to this pub.
In every corner of the Tian'en Empire, wherever there are soldiers gathered.
Without exception, they all saw Zhou, dressed in a black robe, passionately expounding his theory.
Maybe the wording is a little different.
But in the end, it all led to one result.
Then the soldiers' voices were heard one after another.
Occasionally, there are people who are awake, but they are drowned out by the noise and become silent.
War sentiment is running high among the grassroots.
They began to resist peace talks.
What's more, some people wanted to encourage the defenders at the boundary gate to charge towards the bamboo forest world.
"... Could it be that you are... the man with the bamboo mustache?"
Deng Ru looked at everything that happened in the Tian'en Empire with a puzzled look on his face.
I have to say that Zhou’s speech was really good.
Like Xiao Huzi, he grasped the minds of the grassroots.
The mustache man seized the opportunity of the economic crisis and offered 500,000 marks for bread and other conditions.
Zhou, on the other hand, seized upon the reluctance of the grassroots soldiers to accept the abrupt end of the war.
The reluctance to see the blood of brothers and comrades shed in vain.
He portrayed himself as a good general who started from the grassroots and cared about his soldiers.
