Over the past half month, this camp of 500 new recruits has grown a lot, and the speed of their improvement is a world apart from when they were in school.
Although, it is very hard and tiring.
But it doesn't matter.
Being in a group, we all suffer and get tired together.
The powerful spiritual satisfaction, as well as the collective sense of mission and honor, are enough to dispel physical fatigue.
Before Chu Yao set out, he had expected that there might be deserters along the way.
But the fact is that it doesn't.
Everyone persevered.
but……
Many people are only now realizing that this is not actually the most difficult thing.
Compared to the impending death, the past half month was really just an appetizer.
not to mention……
Now we are facing the Night Demon Clan.
Under the tremendous pressure of reality, selfish thoughts inevitably surge in everyone's heart.
…
There are so many human teams, why should we go to the expedition camp?
We are far from fully developed. Do we have to face such a powerful enemy right now?
This is unfair, unscientific, and unreasonable.
Such a difficult task is almost impossible to accomplish.
Even if there are other strong men in the military supporting him from behind, he is likely to die inexplicably as bait.
It was such a pathetic death.
…
"I'll do it."
Xiao Zhan followed Lu Hongzhuang's footsteps and took a step forward.
"Add me."
Lu Zhenhua followed almost at the same time.
"I!"
Ye Fan strode forward.
"And me."
Hou Guanjun took firm steps.
As they stood up one after another.
In the veteran team, the twenty-five veterans, although they didn't say anything, took a collective step forward.
They have seen all kinds of storms.
Which veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles has not emerged from a sea of blood and corpses?
The lame Pei Donglai stared at Chu Yao and after a moment of silence, he decided to add fuel to the fire.
With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that this moment was a great opportunity to temper the military spirit.
"Captain Chu, I have a few questions I'd like to clarify for my brothers."
He addressed Chu Yao by his title to show formality.
Chu Yao looked at him.
"Okay, ask."
"First question, if we really run into the Night Demons, even with the support of powerful human warriors, what is our estimated casualty rate?"
Boom!
The lame man struck down with his hammer, like an experienced blacksmith, hitting the hot and fragile pig iron with a hard hammer.
Many of the new recruits were hit in the heart by a hammer, and they all looked at Chu Yao.
Chu Yao had no expression on his face.
"The casualty rate will be very high, at least over 50%, and even total annihilation is possible."
There was a commotion among the crowd.
The lame man nodded.
"good."
"Then the second question is, is this battle necessary? Is the sacrifice of our brothers meaningful?"
Boom!
Another hammer strikes at people's hearts.
Chu Yao still had no expression on his face.
"There are two issues. First, the question of whether to fight or not."
"We must be prepared to fight, but whether we will encounter the enemy is still uncertain. It depends on luck. But if we do, it will be a fight to the death."
“Second, the question of whether the sacrifice was meaningful.”
"have."
"The Night Demons hide in darkness and may launch assassinations at any time. We are that torch. If we can draw out their power, it will be a great contribution to the entire human race and the overall situation."
"For us, this battle is the coming-of-age ceremony for the expeditionary force. If we can overcome it, the military spirit will be established. If we can't overcome it, the military spirit will be scattered. If the military spirit is scattered, then there is no point in continuing. I will go to the military headquarters in peace and take over the mature troops. You guys can wish for the best."
"To be more selfish, the purpose of the expeditionary force is to advance steadily. We can die, but we cannot retreat. Either we are annihilated on the battlefield, or we are invincible."
Chu Yao said these passionate words in an extremely calm tone.
Everyone was lost in thought.
Yes, that’s right.
If the mission of this team is to go on an expedition, then many people are bound to die.
To put it more selfishly, it is to exchange the lives of the dead brothers for the glory of the brothers who are still alive.
but……
No one can tell who lives and who dies.
It can only be left to fate and time.
One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers.
This sentence has another meaning, which is that every general started as a soldier and grew up from a soldier. Theoretically, every soldier has the potential to grow into a general.
But, it's just a theory, just a possibility.
The process of growing from a soldier to a general is a gamble of one's entire life.
"I!"
"Add me!"
"And me!"
"Count me in!"
…
After the second question was asked and all the reasons were explained clearly, some people stood up again.
Almost all the people had left, but there were still more than half left.
Still hesitating.
Still struggling.
There is no right or wrong in this choice, but it is a test of the deepest part of everyone's soul.
We only have one life and only one lifetime.
Would you choose to live a glorious life but risk death at any time?
Or is it safe but peaceful?
For Chu Yao, Lu Hongzhuang, Xiao Jian... and other people who stood up, they had already thought about this question countless times.
