Capítulo 1248: Chapter 1248: A Heart Desiring Peace
“General!” The pupils of the Xuanwei Army soldier trembled, he never expected that the General would be the first to waver and suggest surrendering.
However, the leader of the Xuanwei Army rely lowered his head, hunched over in silence.
The Xuanwei Army behind him could no longer sit quietly, tears streaming down their faces uncontrollably.
How could they not know? This proud General lowering his head, could it really be just for fear of death? He bowed for the safety and lives of everyone.
This provocation dissolved any wavering that remained in the soldiers’ hearts.
They roared, “General! Do not surrender! We are willing to die with you!”
“General, lift your head! We don’t need you to bow for us!”
“General! We beg you! Do not surrender! After eighteen years, we will still be brothers!”
Seeing the soldiers’ emotions escalate uncontrollably, the Xuanwei leader clenched his fists, veins bulging, and painfully shouted, “If you’re my soldiers, shut up!”
At his words, the passionate soldiers fell silent.
Only then did the Xuanwei leader softly say, “You are all remarkable; your years of service to the Xuanwei Army have been enough. It’s ti to return you to your families and children, to not disappoint those waiting for your return ho.”
“The General is right, being alive is more important than anything, and we’re not treating you as slaves. We’re rely disbanding the Xuanwei Army, sending you all ho. If, in the future, you desire to re-enlist, you may join during the Black Dragon Army’s recruitnt! We warmly welco you!”
Li Wenli’s words utterly confounded them. What nonsense is this?
As the saying goes, ‘the victor is king and the loser is the villain,’ never had they heard of sending enemy soldiers back ho, even welcoming them to join their own when recruiting.
Are they not afraid of letting the tiger return to the mountain?
Bai Junjun lightly smiled, “Is experiencing four years of war not enough? If anyone still wants to start a conflict, I believe the people beside you would be the first to disagree, even without the Black Dragon Army’s involvent.”
As the two spoke, everyone felt their yearning for peace. In the end, who here doesn’t long for peace?
Everyone has wives and children; in the quiet of the night, they all wish to return ho to their loved ones. It’s just that the current circumstances have forced everyone to keep their longing unspoken.
Finally, more and more soldiers slowly knelt down; the only sounds were weapons falling to the ground and armor clashing against the floor.
“We… surrender!”
Liang Tian witnessed the Xuanwei Army’s surrender without any harsh torture or humiliation; Bai Junjun and Li Wenli simply reasoned with them equally.
Then, they cleverly avoided a disaster of war.
Now, he saw a different look in the Xuanwei army’s eyes; the previous hostility was gone, replaced with a longing and hope for a new life.
Li Wenli nodded with a smile, “Everyone here is wise; this is the right choice. However, we need to ensure lasting peace, not just montary goodwill, because going back on it would be troubleso to handle, right? Therefore, we ask everyone to consu a peace pact seed to show your commitnt to peaceful days ahead!”
“!!!” Xuanwei Army soldiers
In the end… they still have to eat poison, damn it.
Yet, to their shock, they received comfort from the Chaoyang Army. The Chaoyang soldiers calmly looked at them and said, “We ate it too.”
