Wind Void saw Lu Yunrui's anger and couldn't help but feel fearful. He hurriedly hid himself among the troops. Unexpectedly, the soldiers were all squeezed into a ball. Wind Void pushed and pulled, but he couldn't even take a few steps, let alone hide in the ranks.
Lu Yunrui was about to fly forward when the Water Guard called out from behind him,"Master, let me go!"
Lu Yunrui stopped, looked at the Water Guard, and shouted,""Alright, bring me Wind Void's head. If the enemy army doesn't move, don't hurt the innocent. If anyone dares to block the way, you can kill him!”
"Yes, sir!"
The Water Guard replied and withdrew his sword before charging towards Wind Void.
Wind Void squeezed a few times but was unable to squeeze into the group. Seeing another woman charging over, he felt slightly relieved and quickly withdrew his sword, preparing to fight the Water Guards.
In the blink of an eye, the Aquatic Guard had already arrived in front of Wind Void and swung his sword at Wind Void's neck.
Wind Void took advantage of the fact that her opponent was a woman and swung her sword with all her might to block the Water Guard's sword, wanting to send it flying.
The two swords clashed, and with a soft sound, the Water Guard's sword light passed through Wind Void's sword without any obstruction, sweeping past Wind Void's neck.
The Water Guard returned his sword to its sheath and took a step forward. He took off Wind Void's helmet with his left hand and grabbed Wind Void's hair bun with his right hand. With a light lift, he took Wind Void's head off and walked back to Lu Yunrui.
It was only after the Aquatic Guard had left Wind Void for a few steps that the sword in Wind Void's hand suddenly broke into two. The upper half of the sword broke off and fell to the ground. Wind Void's corpse also fell to the ground. Blood spurted out from his neck and dyed a large area of the ground red.
When the soldiers on both sides saw this scene, they were all stunned, and their mouths were wide open for a long time. No one would have thought that a dignified general from China would not even be able to take a single move from a weak woman.
The Water Guard walked in front of Lu Yunrui and lifted Wind Void's head. He bowed and said,""Master, the Water Guards have been ordered to take Wind Void's head.”
Lu Yunrui nodded and said,"Hand the heads to the people behind and tell them: One of the main culprits of the village massacre had already been beheaded. Please take it to pay tribute to the villagers who had died!”
The water guard responded and left with the head.
Not long after, Old Man Zhang's wails came from the crowd of commoners in the distance. When the soldiers heard this, they were all pale and bowed their heads in silence.
Lu Yunrui looked at the soldiers opposite him and saw that they looked listless. He said,""Everyone, you are soldiers of Xia country. It is your responsibility to protect the people. People would die one day. If they died to protect the people, even if they died, they would leave a legacy. However, dying for personal gain or harming the people would be infamy for thousands of years!”
When the soldiers on the other side heard this, they were even more shocked. Many of them abandoned their weapons and covered their faces as they squatted on the ground.
A man who looked like a military officer walked out of the team and stood in the middle of the two teams. He bowed to Lu Yunrui and said," Lord Chosen One, you can see that we brothers are also ashamed of the mistakes we made in the past. However, we have no choice but to do so because of military orders. Right now, we're all very hesitant and don't know what to do in the future. I hope that Milord can give us a clear path!”
"Please state your name and military position first!" Lu Yunrui said with a smile.”
"Reporting to Your Excellency, I am the captain of the second squad of the 10th squadron of the Divine Wind Legion, Wang Ming!"”
"Since Captain Wang asked me for an idea, I'll tell you my opinion," said Lu Yunrui.”As she spoke, Lu Yunrui extended two fingers."What I mean is that you have two options: The first is to return to the military camp and wait for the results of today. You can wait for your punishment.”
Wang Ming shook his head with a bitter smile." We were ordered to come out, but we did nothing. We even lost our squadron leader. If we go back like this, not only will we not be able to report our mission, we might even be charged with disobeying military orders. It's hard to say whether we can even keep our lives. Daren, let's talk about the second option!”
Lu Yunrui smiled and pointed at the soldiers behind him.""The second way is to learn from them and join the people to protect their safety. He would use his actions to wash away the crimes he had committed!”
Wang Ming looked behind Lu Yunrui. Wherever he looked, the soldiers unconsciously straightened their backs.
Wang Ming gritted his teeth, turned around, and shouted,"Brothers, gather!"
While Wang Ming was talking to Lu Yunrui, the soldiers on the opposite side were craning their necks to eavesdrop. At this moment, they heard Wang Ming's shout and immediately took action, quickly forming a team.
Wang Ming first recounted his conversation with Lu Yunrui to everyone, then said,""Brothers, Lord God's Chosen One has already pointed out the path for us. Please think about it yourselves. Now, everyone listen to my command. Those who are willing to return to the camp, please stand on the left side of the street. Those who are willing to join me with the Third Squadron, please stand on the right side of the street. Everyone is willing, don't force yourself. Immediately regroup!"
The team was in a hurry and quickly reorganized themselves. All the soldiers of the Tenth Squadron stood on the right side of the street.
Lu Yunrui stepped forward and said loudly,""We welcome all the officers and soldiers of the Tenth Squadron to return to the embrace of the people! The citizens of Peng City will forever remember your choice this time. Protecting the people was the sacred mission of a soldier! Only by gaining the support of the people can you truly become an invincible army!”
"I swear to follow you to the death!" the soldiers shouted in unison.”
Lu Yunrui waved her hand." Not me, but the commoners." Only they were the true masters of history!”
Just as he said that, a horn sounded from the distance, and a large group of soldiers charged over from afar. In front of the team, a large flag was fluttering in the wind.
Seeing the flag, a commotion broke out among the troops. Especially the 10th squadron that had just joined, they were even more panicked.
"What are you panicking for?!" Lu Yunrui shouted. As a soldier, it is your duty to sacrifice your lives and shed your blood. Moreover, you are fighting to protect the people. Even if he died, he would die in the right place. What was there to be afraid of?”
Upon hearing the voice, the soldiers looked at Lu Yunrui. They seemed to have found their backbone and quickly quieted down.
"All members of the Tenth Squadron, get into formation and block off the streets. Prepare to face the enemy with me!" Lu Yunrui commanded. Gao Yuan will lead the 3rd Squadron to hold the rear and be ready to provide support at any time!”
All the soldiers responded in unison and arranged themselves into formation, sealing off the streets tightly. Each of them drew their weapons and prepared to fight.
Lu Yunrui brought the second guard to the front of the team. He turned to the soldier behind him and said,"Pass down my order: Without my permission, the troops are not allowed to advance to avoid accidental injuries!”
With that, he walked a dozen meters before stopping and glancing at Second Guard. The second guard immediately spread out and stood on both sides of the street, forming a triangular formation with Lu Yunrui.
At this moment, the soldiers charging at them were less than thirty meters away from Lu Yunrui and the other two.
Lu Yunrui circulated his internal energy and shouted loudly,""Hey! All troops, stop and call Liu Hu to come and see me!”
The soldiers behind Lu Yunrui didn't feel anything strange about this shout, only that it was loud. However, this sound was like the roar of a dragon and tiger in the ears of the soldiers on the opposite side. Their ears buzzed, and they felt their scalps go numb.
The army was thrown into chaos and stopped in their tracks.
Not long after, the soldiers on the opposite side parted to the two sides, opening up a passage. A man dressed like a general walked out from inside.
The man walked to the front of the team and sized up Lu Yunrui. He asked,""Who are you? How dare you block the path of our army? Aren't you afraid of losing your head?”
Lu Yunrui looked at the big flag behind that person and asked,""You are Liu Hu?"
"That's right, it's me!"”
Lu Yunrui's expression turned cold as she said coldly,""Liu Hu, do you know your crimes?"
"What crime have I committed?" Liu Hu was stunned.
" Hmph!" Lu Yunrui snorted coldly." As a general of Xia Country, you have been ordered to lead an army to guard the border. However, you don't think about serving the country and don't know how to protect the people. He ordered the soldiers to pretend to be bandits and attack the caravans that passed by many times. In the past few years, how many caravans have been destroyed because of you! How many innocent lives have been lost by your hands! Not only that, in order to cover up your crimes, you were willing to risk universal condemnation by sending troops to massacre the three villages of the Ancient Peak and take their heads to claim rewards! Do you still dare to say that you are innocent of such evil deeds?”
Hu Liu's expression changed as he asked sternly,""Who exactly are you?"
Lu Yunrui smiled coldly and said," My surname is Lu and my name is Xiang. Everyone calls me 'God's Chosen One'!”
Hu Liu gasped. The soldiers behind him were also in an uproar.
"Sir, I know what you're talking about." Liu Hu composed himself. I can only blame myself for not being strict with my subordinates, that's why this happened. But I didn't kill any of them. It doesn't seem right for you to put all the blame on me, right?”
Lu Yunrui threw his head back and laughed loudly." Liu Hu, you're a man and a dignified general. How dare you not admit what you've done? You're pushing all the responsibility to your subordinates. I really despise you from the bottom of my heart! Let me ask you, without your orders, would your subordinates dare to do anything they want? Without your instructions, who would dare to do such a heinous thing? Now, you're pushing all the responsibility to your subordinates. Do you think you can escape your crimes just like that? I might as well tell you the truth. I can ignore the crimes of others, but I will definitely pursue your crimes to the end. I will not be lenient! Because you're one of the masterminds!"
Liu Hu's face changed when he heard that. He shouted,""You want to punish me with just a few people? Stop dreaming. As long as my army moves, you will definitely be turned into dust!”
"Liu Hu, are you really going to do this in desperation?" Lu Yunrui sneered. Why don't you open your dog eyes and see who's standing behind me? They were originally your subordinates. It was because of your perverse actions that they stood behind me. Although you have the advantage in numbers, I believe that it won't be long before more and more soldiers stand behind me. You, on the other hand, will be deserted by everyone and will not be able to escape the fate of destruction. Not only that, but you will also be notorious for ten thousand years and will be despised forever!”
Just as he said this, a commotion came from the distance behind Lu Yunrui.
Hu Liu was overjoyed when he heard the voice and shouted,""Brothers, the brothers from the 4th and 7th squadrons are coming from behind! Everyone, let's attack together and kill them all so that we can return to the camp and reward them!”
After saying that, he drew his sword and commanded his soldiers to charge at Lu Yunrui.
