Their fear stemmed from…
"I've heard that the financial network of the Imperial City Financial Group is spread all over the country. They're always thinking about how to distribute their financial resources and avoid taxes! You always like to wear gold, silver, and jewelry on your bodies, but in the end, you can't hide the fear in your hearts! What are you afraid of? Demons? No! You have no reason to be afraid since you have never seen a monster before. I think you are afraid of the assets that will be buried with the border city after it falls!”
"Of course, I'm not here today to expose anything. I just want to ask you a question.。How many more failures do you think humans can endure?”
Faced with the sudden question, these profit-seeking businessmen naturally could not answer. In the silent atmosphere, Jingmin looked back, as if she wanted everyone present to listen to her words…
"Take our country as an example. Other than the Imperial City, there are currently 31 city fortresses set up on the central main roads. The fall of each city fortresses will result in the loss of a large area of land! But did this mean that the answer was 31? Wrong! Only five times!"
"According to the distribution of land management in the country, most of the agricultural land is located at the border. Once the demons break through the five key city fortresses, the food production will drop by 30%! With famine... It must be chaos, with starving civilians turning into thieves and starving soldiers turning into bandits! When that time comes, all the wealth you have accumulated will be razed to the ground overnight!”
With that, Jingmin turned to the believers who were praying with their hands clasped. Facing the dark future of mankind, religious faith had become the reliance of many people.
Superstitious.
"According to my understanding, in Imperial City, most of the church members who actively participate in faith activities are not Sprite Trainers. You guys have no sense of divine power (Sprite Trainer Power), so why do you have to hold on to faith every day and night? Why did he have to recite scriptures all the time?”
At this moment, a devout believer stood up resolutely, intending to defend the faith and church he believed in. However, before he could speak, he fell into deep thought because of the girl's following self-narration.
"Do you know why we, as Spirit Trainers, don't choose to worship the gods all day long?”
"It's not because we don't believe in the existence of gods, but because we understand! He understood that the reason why God gave us power was not so that I could praise him day and night and pray for his help. It was so that we could use this power to save ourselves!”
Following that, Jingmin turned to look at the Imperial City soldiers who were watching coldly. Regarding Ye Jiu, these people's views were relatively neutral.
Their fear stemmed from…
A threat.
"Soldiers guarding the Imperial City, even if the war is very far away from you, I want to resist the invasion of the demons. It is also your responsibility!”
"And those soldiers who fought bravely at the border to resist the monsters, regardless of their identity, should be your like-minded comrades! If you are not willing to defend them now! Then in the near future, here... It would become a battlefield for demons!”
In the end, Jing Min looked around at the people of the Imperial City who were scattered in the viewing gallery. They all had their own families and did not want their peaceful lives to be destroyed. That was why they were hostile to the young man.
Their fear stemmed from…
War.
"What everyone here is worried about... " I understand very well that parents, lovers, children, you have families that you must protect and will not allow this hard-earned happy life to be threatened.。It had been nearly twenty years since the establishment of the six-nation alliance. Why had he only seen the figure of a demon in the newspaper placed beside the tea during tea time?”
"Is it because of the hundred feet tall city wall? No! The high walls made of stone and earth can only blind your eyes! It couldn't resist the demon's anger! You have to admit…On the other side of the city wall, there was a group of people.。They were fearless of death and fought bravely against the enemy. They used their flesh and blood to completely block those things that you feared from a place that you could not see!”
The ending accent echoed in the deliberation hall. Every time it brushed past their ears, although the decibel was reduced, the weight did not change. Even if it eventually disappeared in the corner of the hall, it still echoed in everyone's minds. At this moment, the atmosphere that surpassed the freezing point was like a lonely night. It was terrifyingly quiet. Although some words sounded a little harsh, no one could find a reason to refute them.
I think this wasn't just due to the girl's eloquence, but more importantly, the sincere emotions that were infused into it. This sincerity made everyone become 'loyal listeners' at the same time. Just as everyone was reflecting, she walked to Ye Jiu's side and continued to speak.
"Not long ago, there was a small-scale battle outside of Beiyuan City. I believe everyone has heard about it. As for why it was added with the word 'miracle', that's because you don't know at all! He didn't know how much someone had paid for this!”
At this point, Jingmin's eyes were already glittering. The sourness in the corner of her eyes was a sign of tears. As expected, her red eyes could no longer contain the crystal tears. She squatted down, covered her face with her left hand, and reached out her right hand to the young man's face.
" We risked our lives to push the fear deep into your hearts again and again, but we were unable to shatter it! When we came out, we were already covered in injuries. Yet, he still had to use the sour salt water in his mouth to stimulate our wounds!”
"Eight years ago, you treated my mother like this.。You guys are still like this!"
Perhaps this was what he had been looking for, something worth risking his life to protect…
Your tears.
"Little girl…"
The tears followed the tracks left by the " ancestors " and rolled down rapidly with a friction coefficient that was infinitely close to zero. As they outlined the perfect face shape, they gathered at the finish line and then fell. The moment the tears touched the ground, President Lin felt wax dripping on his heart! Every time they came into contact, it would leave a burning mark. The heart-wrenching pain stabbed the wound in the depths of the white-haired old man's heart that would never heal.
However, at this moment…
"This is just Miss Jing Min's one-sided statement. It doesn't prove that he really played such a key role in the battle.”
A languid voice rose and fell quietly, instantly shattering the rather touching atmosphere. When everyone's eyes refocused, the young man in his early twenties became the focus. This guy was sitting lazily in the front row of the viewing gallery, with licorice in his mouth and his feet on the oak fence in front of him.
The familiar silver hair fell down from his forehead, swaying left and right due to the cold wind that came from nowhere. Coupled with the familiar face, it was true that this arrogant young man was Suo Ke's brother, Suo Chao! He was only 22 years old, but he had the strength of a spirit. At the same time, he was also a three-striped Great Soldier of the Liu Qing Regiment!
It was time.
At this moment, the people's stance had already begun to waver. At least, it was no longer the original " one-sided " stance. After confirming that the time was right, Meng Feng was about to give his testimony to prove the key role that the young man had played. However, just as he was about to stand up and speak, he gave up his plan because of Jing Min's gesture. Accompanied by the slight smile on his lips...
Pa! Pa!
Raising her head and swallowing the tears in her eyes, the girl immediately regained her composure. It was obvious that her tears were not to gain sympathy from others. She straightened her body and swung her arms that were raised to her chest. With two crisp sounds from her palms, the door of the deliberation hall opened again...
With the young lady's signal, two of the burly men flipped open the board…
A black horn that was more than a foot long!
His yellow and wrinkled skin was terrifying!
Lying inside was the horned demon that Ye Jiu had defeated!
Although it was just a lifeless corpse, it was enough to arouse the fear in the hearts of the people. Everyone was in an uproar and looked at each other as if they were afraid that this demonic creature would suddenly wake up. This was not surprising. After all, this was the first time many people in Imperial City had seen the true appearance of Blackpeak.
"This is a curved horn demon that can control demon birds. It has a single curved horn that is 40 centimeters long, which means that the demon has the power equivalent to a peak spirit! As the demonic creature's fate was about to end, its body did not dissipate into smoke after it died.”
"You must know that there were only a dozen people responsible for the surprise attack at that time. Among them, only Senior Meng had the strength of a spirit. Even if we worked together, we might not be able to kill a demon of this level. Moreover, there were many powerful demons protecting us. It should have been a game with no chance of winning, but we won. The reason is obvious.”
After saying this, Jingmin believed that everyone present could make their own judgment…
"This young man can defeat such a demonic creature?”
"Could it be that he can really control that evil power?”
“...”
Under the irrefutable evidence, the voices of the people gradually began to lean towards the young man. It was quite true. After all, if the young man could really fight against the demons, then the evil power in his body would become a solid shield to protect himself!
...
"Heh, this kid has the strength of a spirit user? Miss Jingmin, don't say that I'm unreasonable.”
After spitting out the licorice in his mouth, Suo Chao straightened up from his seat and kicked the stool away. He then provoked him.
"If he can survive ten rounds from me! I'll believe what you said!"
