Even a few males had some complaints after hearing his experience. No male would feel psychologically burdened after killing 20,000 enemies on the battlefield.
In the animal world, males fight with one another, ignoring life and death. Fighting is the only way to win. For the winner to let go is mercy, for the loser to not let go is righteousness. The loser will naturally accept defeat, and neither side will dwell on it.
But the 20,000 enemies that Yi Yuan killed in "Bloody Silver Moon" were not on the battlefield. Instead, he killed 20,000 surrendered male Howling Moon Silver Wolves and buried them on the spot.
In the animal world, "surrender" is a huge mental torture for males. Many males who have surrendered will never be able to get promoted in their lifetime.
Therefore, when males fight, whether it is 1V1, a group fight, or a large-scale war between city-states, it is an established rule in the animal world that one side surrenders and the other side lets go.
Yi Yuan's behavior of "killing prisoners" obviously broke the rules, and the males all looked down on it to some extent.
"Twenty thousand, one hundred and twenty-nine Howling Moon Silver Wolf warriors. None of them were willing to take action. I personally transformed their lives into a fertile forest."
Yi Yuan spoke calmly, neither defending himself nor expressing any guilt.
Jiang Yanyue hugged Yi Yuan tighter. "To the Howling Moon Silver Wolf Clan, you are of course an unforgivable devil. We, the unrelated people, can certainly stand on the moral high ground and accuse you of cruelty and bloodthirstiness."
"Because blaming you is far easier than agreeing with you. The total number of beasts in the Beast World is just over a million. Twenty thousand lives are too many. Even acknowledging you requires extra courage."
"But Yi Yuan, from the perspective of the Golden Silk Black Tiger, you are a well-deserved hero. Everyone should remember you. Even the orcs of the entire Central Continent should be grateful to you. It was you who pulled them out of the quagmire of war."
"Although the methods were direct and cruel, and 20,000 lives lost was indeed a large number, endless war brings endless death and hatred."
Jiang Yanyue couldn't help sobbing, "But Yi Yuan, I feel sorry for you..."
In history, there was a god of killing named Bai Qi, who buried alive 400,000 Zhao soldiers in the Battle of Changping. For the Zhao army, this was naturally a horrific atrocity.
But for the Qin State, Bai Qi won victory for the Qin State and avoided excessive loss of national strength. From a historical perspective, Bai Qi did promote the unification of the Qin State and the unification of China.
What Bai Qi did was a crime in his own time, but a great achievement for future generations.
But the Beast World has no such history, and there is also an established rule of "not killing prisoners". It is conceivable what kind of pressure Yi Yuan has to bear to make such a decision.
Jiang Yanyue knew that she was a little embarrassed to talk without any concern, but her head was determined by her butt. Yi Yuan was her male, so she would consider Yi Yuan and feel sorry for him.
For Jiang Yanyue, it means "Although you lost your lives, my Yi Yuan was tarnished and suffered criticism because of this."
Yi Yuan carefully embraced Jiang Yanyue with his strong arms, cherishing her and saying, "Thank you for telling me this."
Yi Yuan's voice was a little hoarse.
Yi Yuan actually did not regret it, nor was he entangled. This sin must be borne by someone, otherwise the war would never end.
Both the Golden Silk Black Tiger and the Howling Moon Silver Wolf are too tough, too brave, and too proud, and neither of them is willing to bow their head and submit.
Even if Yi Yuan didn't bear the sin, someone else would. But what if that person wasn't the Golden Silk Black Tiger, but the Howling Moon Silver Wolf?
When Yi Yuan made the decision, he was prepared to take on everything. He always felt that at least one of the three big thunders twelve years ago was for him.
Yi Yuan is a native of the beast world and a male who still has some dignity. He knows better than Jiang Yanyue how cruel and despicable "killing prisoners" is.
But Jiang Yanyue now told him that he should be remembered and praised, and she actually felt sorry for herself, the "executioner".
Males are mostly rough and not as emotionally delicate as females. Yi Yuan has been tempered and forged in the battlefield of corpses and blood, and his will is firm and his psychological quality is terrifying.
Otherwise, I wouldn't do something that requires extra courage for others to even agree with it.
But "I feel sorry for you", these four short words, instantly broke down Yi Yuan's iron-like psychological defenses.
The collapse twelve years ago turned the God of War into ruins, and this time, the ruins collapsed again, but a seed struggled to sprout, allowing the dead ruins to grow fresh and soft flesh and blood again.
Become a new, complete and vibrant heart.
Beat for her.
This new "heart" is softer, more gentle, tougher, and full of vitality than the God of War's Iron Heart. It will no longer be like stone, seemingly hard but shattered to the ground under a heavy blow.
"Think about it carefully, you're not wrong. Your Central Continent has the most fertile land, females give birth to the most cubs, and yet the number of beastmen is the smallest among the six continents. If you keep fighting year after year, more beastmen will die."
Wu Chen was silent for a long time before he spoke.
"Every new mermaid in our sea is a source of joy. Yet, you're using all these precious beastmen to wage war? Your Central Continent has the longest spring. Other places have springs that last two months, but yours sometimes lasts three, sometimes two and a half. You have the fewest beastmen, so you shouldn't be running out of food. What on earth are you fighting for?"
Liuxia expressed that she did not understand what the long and brutal war in the Central Continent was all about.
"It's a fight for power. Yingzhou is ruled by you mermaids. The Western Continent has Kunlun, the Eastern Continent has Qixia Mountain, which is home to our flying beasts, the Northern Continent has Qingqiu, the home of the fox tribe, the Southern Continent is home to the iron-eating beasts, and the Central Continent is home to Sun City and Silver Moon City."
Qing Lan spread his hands and said, "Look, although the continent is vast and there are many tribes and city-states, each continent has only one head. The Central Continent has two heads."
"If you have two heads and two mouths, and you say yours and I say mine, won't there be a fight?"
Liuxia understood after a moment's thought and nodded in agreement, "That's right."
"If it were me, I would definitely not kill those 20,000 Howling Moon Silver Wolves." Nan Xing looked at Yi Yuan with a bit of admiration.
"The war has been won, but the enemy can resurrect at any time. But with me here, everything is peaceful. And my position will become increasingly stable. Believe it or not, if you don't kill those 20,000 Howling Moon Silver Wolves, your brother won't dare to touch you at all."
Nanxing blinked at Yi Yuan with a harmless smile.
"I haven't thought about these at all." Yi Yuan was a little embarrassed. He really hadn't thought about these at all.
"Even if your brother is truly a good brother, those 20,000 Howling Moon Silver Wolves shouldn't be killed. You're already a God of War, and the Howling Moon Silver Wolves wouldn't be able to turn a corner in your hands. Why smear yourself? If you were to fight after your death, who knows how future generations would remember your great achievements."
Nan Xing sighed, a mature expression appearing on his baby face, "But you chose the option that is best for the tribe and worst for yourself. Really, I am not as good as you."
