Chapter 1445 — The People's Heart as Blade
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
Zaifu let out a turbid breath. "The blade on the battlefield is different from the blade you ordinarily encounter. The blade on the battlefield is a blade of slaughter and also a blade of redemption. " Shen Mu was slightly startled and asked for its meaning. Zaifu said, "The blade kills the enemy, and saves the rivers and mountains behind you, the common people who live within those rivers and mountains. A common man's blade splatters blood five paces, taking joy in vengeance. The blade of the battlefield gallops a thousand li, hands stained with blood, and keeps countless people alive! Come with me to the battlefield, to meet comrades in arms! " Shen Mu was greatly shaken and followed him, striding forward.
They journeyed for dozens of days and came to the battlefield in the Southern Wilderness.
After the Ten Heavenly Venerates partitioned the Yuan Realm, the pressure on Jingping increased greatly.
The first force to attack Jingping was the army under the Fire Heavenly Venerate of the Southern Land, a mixed force of humans and demigods, attacking Jingping, seizing cities and territory. These gods, demons, and divine-ability users came from the Southern Heaven, the humans and demigods of the Southern Heaven. Zaifu and Shen Mu each used false names and enlisted.
"The army opposite is also made of people," one soldier said, trembling, looking at the opposing army.
"Do not entertain such thoughts. " An old soldier comforted him. "Think of what is behind you. Behind you is Jingping! The people of Jingping!
If you treat the enemy opposite as people too, then you will die, and so will the people you must protect!
" "Huff, huff. . . " Someone was panting heavily, legs trembling, face pale with panic, somewhat short of breath: "This is my first time on the battlefield.
Before, I always drilled with other scholars in the academy.
I have never truly been in formation.
. .
" "Just follow me later.
" An old soldier with a scar on his face laughed. "Remember what the teachers taught you in the classroom? When you see someone waving a flag in the sky, stand up. When you hear the drumbeat, if the drums beat continuously, advance.
If the drumbeats quicken, run and charge.
When you hear the bell, halt. When you hear the drum and gong, retreat. Besides, there will be those skilled in divine consciousness who transmit to our minds through divine consciousness; there will be no mistakes. " The scarred veteran looked at Shen Mu again and offered him a water pipe, smiling.
"You do not look panicked.
Could you be an old soldier? Smoke this; the taste is good. " Shen Mu took the water pipe and took a puff, saying, "I once went to the battlefield of Taihuang Heaven and fought blindly for a while. " "The battlefield of Taihuang Heaven? That was more than twenty years ago. " The scarred veteran's spirits lifted. He waved his hand.
"Later, everyone come to this brother's side. Our whole squad, come over! " The other few divine-ability users gathered around.
The scarred veteran chuckled. "Here is an old soldier who has been to Taihuang Heaven!
When the fighting starts later, we will charge together.
Following him, our chances of survival are greater! Come, come, everyone remember each other's faces.
We must get familiar. "
