Not one of them, young or old, showed any sign of fear.
"It is I, the general, who apologizes."
This scene brought tears to the female general's eyes, and despite her efforts to hold back, tears still blurred her vision.
"General, it is we who should thank you!"
"Yes, Wucheng is our home. Protecting it is like protecting ourselves!"
"You could have left, but you protected us until the very last moment!"
"You and all the soldiers are the greatest soldiers!"
"..."
Looking at the female general on the city wall, the shouts of the people were heart-stirring.
"Very well, I hereby swear that I will live and die with you, and fight to the very last moment!"
The female general raised her sword high and roared in a hoarse voice, both to embolden herself and to encourage the people.
Even knowing that the city would eventually fall, even knowing that this was a war they were destined to lose.
But for their homeland and their faith, they would fight to the very end, even if it meant shedding their blood, and would never compromise!
The scene at Wucheng is repeating itself in various border areas.
The people of the Wuya Dynasty had long been prepared for this war.
Those who could have left have already left; those who stayed are those who couldn't bear to leave.
Since that's the case, why not give it your all and fight for a glimmer of hope for those who come after you?
At least, if the Wuya Dynasty is still alive, then even if they die, they will still die in their homeland.
Great men have ambitions that extend to all corners of the world, and consider the whole world their home.
Ordinary people, all they crave is the sunrise and sunset, and a place to call home.
Western Zhou Dynasty
"Father, what should we do?"
On the border of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the only place where no war was waged was Yuancheng, which was under the jurisdiction of Yu Xu.
The people inside the city were all terrified and on high alert, while outside the city, Lord Yu led hundreds of thousands of troops, remaining motionless.
"Just stay here. Do you think we don't know what's going on with the Wuya Dynasty?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Yu coldly laughed and said, "Other places are bound to be reporting victories one after another, but no one will care about us. Besides, that person must also hope that I accomplish nothing so that he can settle accounts later."
"But if the other places are defeated, what good will it do if we're the only ones left?"
Yu Xu asked with some concern, "Should we go...?"
"Xu'er, we've already done more than enough by not attacking. How can we possibly intervene to protect them?"
Before Yu Xu could finish speaking, Lord Yu solemnly interrupted him, "I know how you feel, but you must understand that what we need is final victory. We must prioritize the overall situation. We are not saviors of the world."
"So, what does Father mean?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xu frowned slightly and asked, puzzled.
"wait."
Lord Yu looked up at the city wall and said, "When the troops in other places are almost exhausted, it will be time for us to take action."
"I see!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xu's eyes suddenly lit up. "Father wants to strike at the root of the problem!"
This is just the frontier, and both sides are engaged in a war of attrition. Wars always result in death, not only in the Wuya Dynasty but also in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, the real battle would only begin when the front lines approached the capital.
However, by then, the other armies would have suffered heavy casualties, while their side would remain unscathed.
At that time, they will explain the situation to the Wuya Dynasty, and together they can destroy the forces of other routes and fundamentally resolve the crisis of the Wuya Dynasty!
