"Those who surrender will not be killed. Do you understand?" Xu Sijun's words caused a lot of dissatisfaction, but most people did not dare to refute her because they were afraid of her strength.
"If you have any dissatisfaction, just say it directly. There's no need to hold it in your heart." Xu Sijun glanced at them and said lightly, "If you only agree with your mouth, it's better not to agree."
Everyone looked at each other, and finally an old general spoke up, "Your Majesty, I don't understand why those who surrendered are not killed! If we don't kill them and keep them alive, wouldn't that be a waste of space and our resources?"
Xu Sijun looked at the veteran general, then at the soldiers who nodded repeatedly, and asked, "Is this what you all mean?"
"Before every battle, I always tell you this. Some of you don't listen. I see this clearly."
"As for why, I wanted to start with a good start. It has been a hundred years since I took charge of the demon clan. During this century, there have been wars of all sizes, and countless casualties have occurred between humans and demons."
"It's not worth it to continue fighting like this. Not killing those who surrender is a good intention. If they claim to be upright gentlemen, they probably wouldn't kill our people if they were captured."
"Since this is the case, I firmly believe that in the long run, the human and demon races will tend towards peace."
"They give us a headache, and we give them a headache too. Since we are evenly matched, why waste time on casualties? It's better to have peace."
"If anyone among you can crush the Saint King with one move, you can ignore my words and kill him however you want."
"If you can't, just do as I say. I won't harm you!"
After Xu Sijun finished speaking, people in the camp whispered to each other and finally came to a conclusion - without absolute overwhelming strength, war is not as good as peace.
"Now that you understand, go down and inform your men not to let them kill people at will. Just defeat and capture them."
"yes!"
Xu Jiujun was watching with great interest in the room. He didn't expect that his sister was a commander, and seemed to be a peace-loving person, unlike the demons who were domineering and overbearing.
Being the leader of the demon clan was probably just a matter of necessity.
As Xu Jiujun was thinking this, it was already dawn. Since he couldn't sleep anyway, Xu Jiujun went downstairs and asked the waiter to prepare some food.
It’s a good time to try the delicious food from the Holy Demon Realm.
In less than half an hour, Xu Jiujun's thirty-six dishes were ready. The waiter had never seen anyone eat like this before.
Because practitioners don’t really like to eat, and it is impossible for mortals to eat so much.
Xu Jiujun asked while eating, and the waiter slowly answered him. Anyway, it was early in the morning and there were no customers out except Xu Jiujun.
Suddenly, Xu Jiujun asked, "Do you know the Nan family?"
"Of course I know. The Nan family is one of the four main forces of the Anti-Demon Army."
"Oh? There are other families?"
"To be precise, it's three families and one palace."
"The three families are the Nan family, the Feng family, and the Sun family."
"The first temple is the holy temple."
"Among them, the Holy Temple is the strongest, followed by the Feng family, the Nan family, and finally the Sun family."
After listening to the waiter's answer, Xu Jiujun pondered for a moment and then asked, "Why is the Temple the strongest?"
"Why? It must be because of the Holy King. The Holy King is the commander-in-chief of our human race. His strength crushes the heads of the three major families, and the strength of his subordinates is also top-notch."
"Their ancestors seem to be only 70% as powerful as the Saint Kings. In comparison, the three great families are stronger in numbers, troops, and wealth."
"In terms of strength alone, the three major families combined can barely rival the Holy Temple."
"Actually, if you want to witness their strength, you can go to the Yin Yang Valley ahead. The battlefield between the human and demon races is not far from us, less than 30,000 miles away."
"If I have a chance, I will go and have a look." Xu Jiujun had eaten and drunk his fill, and it was already completely light.
The three siblings of the Nan family and their followers happened to come down from upstairs. Nanshan pretended to be dazed as usual, and Nanfeng was still as enthusiastic as ever.
Only Nan Yu looked shy, completely different from the cute look of yesterday.
"Brother Xu, why are you up so early?" Nan Feng said with a smile, "Have you rested enough? Do you need to rest a little longer? We have a long journey ahead, so it may take some time."
"Is the journey long?" Xu Jiujun thought about it. Thirty thousand miles should not take that long for them, but why did they all choose to take a carriage?
"Brother Xu, let's get in the car first."
Nanfeng pulled Xu Jiujun onto the carriage, and then answered Xu Jiujun's doubts: "Although our cultivation is not high, we can still travel thousands of miles in an instant and shatter the void."
"But there are three obstacles ahead: the single-plank bridge over the Qianqiu River, the wild beasts of the Silent Forest, and the natural dangers of Wuxia Mountain."
"The place we are going to is Wuxia Mountain."
"The reason why it's called a barrier is because once we reach Qianqiu River, we won't be able to use abilities like Shattered Void to fly."
"The only way is to walk on the ground or take a carriage."
"Oh? Why is this? Is there some kind of formation?" Xu Jiujun was a little curious and felt it was very strange.
Nan Feng smiled and explained, "Yes, the formation inside was set up by an old elder of the human race. It prohibits any flying behavior such as breaking the void, otherwise you will be attacked by the formation."
"But the hurdle is more like protection."
"Because behind these three barriers is the habitat of hundreds of millions of human beings."
"The formation will suppress the strength of those who enter it. No matter how high their cultivation is, as long as there is no advanced formation, their cultivation will be suppressed to the Void God Realm."
"So once a demon breaks in, the danger it encounters will cause a stir, and then it will either be killed by the formation or by the guardians guarding these three barriers."
"I see." Before, Xu Jiujun was wondering why he didn't break the void with such strength, but insisted on taking a carriage. Could it be to enjoy the scenery along the way?
"But don't be afraid. This horse is not an ordinary horse. It is a horse that can travel thousands of miles a day."
"We will arrive in less than three days."
"So fast?" Xu Jiujun looked surprised, but couldn't help thinking in his heart: I might as well fly by myself.
"That's not really fast. If we could fly, we'd be here in no time." Nanfeng finished speaking, and the carriage suddenly stopped. Nanshan looked out and said, "We've reached the single-plank bridge."
"Come down and walk."
Hearing this, Xu Jiujun and others got off the carriage one after another, and then Nanshan lifted the carriage and walked in front.
"So, we're riding in a carriage to save energy, right?"
"Of course. There are many wild beasts in the Silent Forest, and the range is quite large. Our strength has been suppressed to the Void God Realm. If we don't conserve our energy, I'm afraid we won't be able to pass the Silent Forest."
"The single-plank bridge is only a thousand miles long, which is relatively easy compared to the Silent Forest."
"You follow me, my sister is behind you, we will protect you."
