After a snowstorm, even though it was still autumn, it already felt a bit like winter. The cold wind howled at Yumen Pass and howled in the parade square, but the sergeants remained silent for a long time.
At this moment, everyone fell into an absolute self-torture. In order to save Daqian, they gave up their souls, even gave up their identity as a human being, and let themselves incarnate into the most hated devil in the world? What exactly is this behavior? Is it right or wrong?
No one can help them make a choice, not even General Zhenwu, or General Tianyu who dares to give up Qinglong Pass, his family and wife for the sake of the great cause, and is so calm and indifferent that he can almost annihilate his nature. They can't do it for others. Make a choice.
Because at this moment, the generals are in different positions. They are all strong in the True Martial Realm. Naturally, they do not need to commit their souls to the bodies of demons that are weaker than themselves, so there is no need to make such a choice.
It would undoubtedly be too selfish to have to replace others or force others to make a certain choice without having to make a choice. Therefore, the generals all maintained precious silence at the same moment and put forward the final decision. The right to choose was given to every ordinary sergeant present.
Thousands of sergeants were silent. However, silence is always easy to be broken by others, and it is destined to be broken by someone sooner or later. At this time, a sergeant slowly stepped into the demon army and broke the This silence.
He suppressed the fear in his heart of the demons that were so close. Although he couldn't help but tremble all over, he still gritted his teeth and walked past the demons step by step with determination, and arrived in front of the military parade.
"Captain of the 19th Light Crossbow Team, Du Chengzhi of Morning Light City... I have met you, sir." Du Chengzhi said in a deep voice, but when he was going to call Qin Feng, it seemed that he didn't know whether to call him King Qin or King Qin. He called it a devil, so his tone was a little hesitant, so he finally said "Sir."
Qin Feng didn't pay attention to this small detail. He just noticed that the soldier was from Chenguang City. He suddenly understood a lot and understood some of the soldier's determination.
Morning Light City is not very famous, but the reason why Qin Feng noticed this city is because it is very close to Qinglong Pass in the east of Daqian. It can be said to be the city where the morning light shines first in Daqian. Therefore It is called Morning Light City.
Since Chenguang City is very close to Qinglong Pass, this means that if Qinglong Pass is really defeated by the East Yue Kingdom, then the first city to suffer must be Chenguang City. And the reason why Du Chengzhi dared to stand up first, Perhaps the biggest reason is that he is from Chenguang City, and his relatives are also in Chenguang City.
According to the last public information released by the generals, Qinglong Pass and Shanhai Pass should not confront the armies of Dongliao and Xiliao in three days. This means that if the demon army can really enter the battlefield and fly If we move quickly enough, it is not impossible to protect Qinglong Pass and Shanhaiguan Pass at the same time.
For one's own personal interests, in order to protect one's family and relatives, one voluntarily sacrifices one's soul to the devil. Perhaps on a large level, this is a kind of selfishness. But on a small level, it is not a kind of family. Selfless dedication to your hometown?
Selfishness or selflessness? Is it important? But the perspective of everyone in the world is different. Well, maybe this is a kind of selfishness, but Qin Feng does not hate this kind of selfishness that is very humane. Because he knows it very well. , If you are not selfish, you will not be able to compete with God. If you are not selfish, you will have no self!
If there is no self, then what is the meaning of so-called survival and living?
While Qin Feng was deep in thought, another thirty sergeants walked slowly through the demon army with heavy or difficult steps. But Du Chengzhi's expression suddenly changed, because those thirty sergeants were none other than , but a member of the 19th Light Crossbow Team.
"You..." Du Chengzhi looked at the thirty people, his face became extremely ugly: "This is nonsense!"
"Captain, although our hometown is indeed not in Chenguang City, and is far away from the border, deep in the safe zone of Daqian, but the so-called safety is only temporary safety. If Qinglong Pass and Shanhaiguan Pass are not guaranteed, the war will inevitably spread. To every city..."
"Yes! Our light crossbow team will always be the first line of defense to protect Yumen Pass. In order to protect Daqian, in order to protect some things that must be protected, since it is life, it is okay to give up, then dedicate your soul to the devil, or even become a devil, So what’s the problem?”
"That's right! What's more, those enemies who launch wars, try to invade our Dagan territory, and try to harm our Dagan compatriots are the real devils!"
Listening to the heartfelt words of the team members who had been getting along day and night in the past, Du Chengzhi didn't speak for a long time.
"So, please allow us to sacrifice our hearts and souls for our hometown!" Thirty members of the light crossbow team said in unison, and the clenched fist in their right hand hammered hard at their hearts.
What they said was naturally meant for captain Du Chengzhi, and even more so for Qin Feng. So after they finished saying this, they raised their heads and looked at Qin Feng on the parade stage. His expressions were incomparable. firm.
This is the first time since Qin Feng announced his identity as a demon that Daqian's sergeants have looked squarely at Qin Feng. In other words, they have accepted Qin Feng from their hearts and are willing to follow Qin Feng. Because they know very well that they About to become a part of the devil.
So this time they had no fear, even the black scales that originally looked extremely ferocious to them were no longer so terrifying. So this time they saw it very clearly, and it was precisely because of the reality that they saw it Some details that should have been seen but have never been seen...
But that little detail that no one expected or noticed immediately caused the sergeants to tremble all over. It was even difficult for people to understand whether they were excited or afraid at this moment.
Fear? Qin Feng frowned slightly and couldn't figure out what else could make these soldiers who were not afraid of sacrifice and even willing to become demons fear again... Or were they not afraid at all?
"Dragon...those are dragon scales!" Du Chengzhi said in a trembling voice. He was indeed not afraid, because when he said this, he could not suppress the ecstasy in his heart.
Qin Feng lowered his head and glanced at the black-gold scales on his hand. Feeling the power in the scales, which seemed to come from some special aura from ancient times, he nodded doubtfully: "It should be dragon scales, it's very important?"
Du Chengzhi did not answer Qin Feng's question, or at this moment, neither he nor the other ordinary soldiers could restrain their ecstasy. It was an indescribable ecstasy, worse than that seen by a drunkard. The joy of seeing my favorite century-old Shuanggou aged wine is more joyful than a young man chasing after the goddess of his dreams. It is even more ecstatic than when Daqian resolves the crisis and the armies of the Three Kingdoms retreat! So much so that Qin Feng cannot understand. Why are the sergeants so happy?
However, after the ecstasy, Du Chengzhi and the thirty sergeants fell into an extremely guilty emotion at the same time, a guilt that even a thousand deaths would not be enough to atone for their sins.
However, people can only die once. So they actually took out the sabers from their waists at the same time and slashed at their necks. There was no hesitation or softness in that slash, it was all a kind of determination after repentance. As for after they died, Will anyone be willing to plunge their souls into demons like them? This is completely beyond their consideration, because they know very well that if the scales on Qin Feng’s hands are dragon scales, then within Daqian, there will definitely be There are thousands of people who are willing to obey all the orders of King Qin!
In an instant, the light of the sword fell fiercely, but at the same time as the light of the sword fell, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew by. The cold wind was like a substance, blowing past thirty figures in an instant, causing the sabers in their hands to shatter into pieces. The number is short.
It turned out that it was not a cold wind, but an afterimage left behind by Qin Feng's high-speed movement. At this time, there were still several fragments of the broken sword, which he held in the palm covered with dragon scales.
"What on earth is going on?" Qin Feng asked with a frown.
Thirty sergeants knelt down and worshiped in unison, saying in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, King Qin! We...we are guilty! We should not have done that to you before, let alone use our swords against you!"
Qin Feng knew clearly in his heart that when he announced that he was a devil, dozens of warriors tried to rush to the military parade with swords to harm him, and they must have been among those dozens of people.
But Qin Feng didn't pay much attention to this small matter, and he didn't even remember what those dozens of people looked like. What really made him unable to understand was why the sergeants suddenly felt so guilty? Even if the sergeants could If you understand some of his difficulties, you won't feel so guilty, right?
Qin Feng's conversation with the soldiers was not too loud, but because the parade square was too quiet, their voices still reached the ears of other soldiers, and naturally it was impossible to escape the perception of powerful Zhenwu realm warriors.
"What...dragon scales!"
"Doesn't that mean..."
General Zhenwu and General Tianyu looked at each other with extremely shocked expressions. Xia Xingyuan was the first to jump up and rush towards the parade platform, and the other two were not far behind.
But the three of them did not really fly directly in front of Qin Feng. Instead, they stopped five meters in front of Qin Feng and looked at the scales on Qin Feng's hand very seriously.
Yes, very seriously. When they looked at those scales before, they were not serious enough. Because deep down in their hearts, they were not willing to admit that Qin Feng was a foreigner. Naturally, they were not willing to observe the scales carefully. But when they carefully observed After that, he suddenly showed the same ecstatic expression as an ordinary sergeant.
"Dragon scales! It's really dragon scales, you can't go wrong!" General Zhenwu laughed loudly, because he was ecstatic.
There are many kinds of scales in the world, such as snakes and fish, but snake scales are too delicate and give people a gloomy and cunning feeling. Although fish scales are similar to dragon scales, they lack the unique dominance and sharpness of dragon scales. There may always be some people who cannot accurately identify what are fish scales and what are dragon scales from the shape of the scales, but as a Daqian person and a Daqian soldier, it is impossible to make a mistake on this matter.
"Zhenwu, Tianyu, pay homage to His Highness King Qin!" After the two generals were overjoyed, they knelt down and saluted Qin Feng.
This bow was undoubtedly very sudden, even far beyond Qin Feng's expectation. Because these two border generals have extremely high status and are very proud, even when they got along in the past, they also respected Qin Feng, but they I would never bow down to Qin Feng like this.
In fact, not to mention Qin Feng, even if they saw His Majesty in the royal city, they would not give such a grand ceremony! But now it is... weird, really too weird, whether it is the reaction of the two generals or the The reactions of the sergeants made Qin Feng feel very strange.
