"us…"
These words made the soldiers' eyes gleam, and their faces filled with shame.
"Alright, let's talk about something simple. You are already among the best of the human race. If you all give up, what will happen to the ordinary people in the city?"
Seeing that it was effective, Chunhu Siqiong continued, "Do I need to tell you what the consequences would be if the Yaksha really broke out of the endless void?"
"The people suffered terribly, and their lives were in utter misery..."
The soldiers instinctively answered in low voices, their inner struggles beginning to fester, their fists clenching tightly.
Similarly, although these words were spoken softly, Chunhu Siqiong heard them clearly.
Her eyes were bright and clear, her face full of confidence, and she seemed to be surrounded by a halo, shining brightly in this dark world.
"I know what you're thinking right now, and I can understand, because I feel the same way you do."
She raised her chin, her slender neck as graceful and supple as a swan's. "But have you thought about your family, children, and relatives? If you give up resisting, if the Yaksha leaves here, what will become of them without your protection?"
"You've guarded this place for so many years, are you just going to let it all go to waste today?"
Zhan Wushuang also stepped forward at this moment, his imposing manner no less than that of a man, his resounding voice carrying great persuasive power, "Are you willing? Are you really willing to die like this, or to become slaves of demons from now on, to become livestock they keep?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers finally raised their heads. Although they remained silent, their eyes clearly revealed a strong sense of resentment.
Family, especially children, is a common weakness of all human beings. Emotion is the softest part of human nature, yet also its strongest point, and it is the biggest difference between us and evil.
Originally, the reason why those soldiers were willing to come here to guard the area was because of their sense of responsibility and mission.
What Zhan Wushuang is saying now is exactly what they fear most.
"No...no, absolutely not!"
"I will not allow anyone to hurt my family!"
"Demon, you wretched yaksha, I'll fight you to the death!"
"..."
Finally, the warriors, whose eyes had lost their light, regained their gaze. The first person stood up, picked up his weapon, and launched an attack on the Yaksha.
"Let's give it our all!"
"Boom boom boom..."
At the same time, the silenced artillery fire resumed.
"Ouch..."
When they saw the Yaksha being knocked away again, the warriors' confidence slowly began to return.
As Zhan Wushuang said, they have already paid so much to get here, and they absolutely cannot stop here, otherwise their children will definitely look down on them.
Moreover, if their cowardice were to bring disaster upon their families, they would die with regrets.
Since death is inevitable, it's better to die a glorious death. Besides, the Yaksha is not invincible!
"The morale of the troops is high."
Seeing that the warriors had finally regained their courage, Zhan Wushuang and his men breathed a sigh of relief and said again, "We will definitely kill the demons, even if it costs us our lives. All you have to do is hold this line. Gentlemen, the future of humanity is in your hands!"
"We swear to never let the evil spirits cross the line!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers' eyes all turned red, and they roared in unison, "Sirs, please be victorious! We are waiting for your return!"
