If he was not careful, there would be endless trouble.
He might even be condemned by thousands of people and cursed in history. The prestige and popularity that the Dawn Dynasty had painstakingly built up would be lost, and its future would be ruined.
These two choices were there for Zhao Yun.
"D*mn it!"
ραпdαn૦νel The deputy general's fist made a crisp sound, and his eyes were filled with anger.
If it was possible, he would rather fight the Foreign Race Army instead of being forced to make a choice. Moreover, neither of the two choices would benefit the Kingdom of Dawn and them.
This was simply putting them on fire.
"General Zhao, should we report this to the king?"
Zhou Qing said after pondering for a moment.
This matter was too serious, so serious that even he did not dare to make a decision.
Zhao Yun closed his eyes and did not speak. From his rapid breathing, it could be seen that he was not calm. However, when he opened his eyes, there was a hint of determination in his eyes. He said resolutely, "There's no need for that. I'm the commander of the Vermilion Bird Army Group, and I'm the leader. No matter what decision I make today, I will take full responsibility."
"I can't let the king down. I can't let Dawn down either. The Dawn is the hope of the Human race. Even if I am burned to death, I will not be a coward. Just put all the sins and the notoriety on me."
Zhao Yun said word by word.
His lips were still trembling, and his heart was not calm.
The decision he had to make might be condemned by thousands of people.
"General!"
The expressions of the two deputy generals changed drastically as they shouted at the same time.
"You must remember to be loyal to the country and the people. In this chaotic world, I'm willing to give everything for the Kingdom of Dawn to become stronger. Only when the kingdom becomes stronger can I protect more humans. May every human be like a dragon."
Zhao Yun looked at the two of them and said slowly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he no longer hesitated. He took firm steps and appeared in front of the Vermillion Bird Army Group. Standing in the Stone Valley, he looked at the numb and despairing human civilians. He looked at the pregnant women and listened to the cries of the babies. Every step he took was so difficult and heavy.
It was as if a thousand pounds of mountains were pressing down on him.
All gazes fell on Zhao Yun.
The citizens of Honeysuckle City were the same, as so were the soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Army Group and the human refugees in Stone Valley. Their originally numb hearts and despairing eyes were now filled with hope and anticipation when they saw the Human Army. Humans! This was their army!
Their gazes also landed on Zhao Yun.
That kind of expectant gaze made Zhao Yun's footsteps even heavier.
Bang!
With a dull thud, Zhao Yun knelt heavily on the ground in front of all the humans in Stone Valley. The ground beneath him seemed to tremble and shake as he knelt.
"Brothers and sisters of the Human race, I am Zhao Yun, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Army Group of the Dawn Dynasty. I'm here to expand the Kingdom of Dawn's territory. I'm here to obtain more land and a larger living space for our Human race. We do this to save more people in this chaotic world, give the Human race a wider place to reproduce, and save more human beings like you."
"However, today, the foreign races used all of you as hostages to stop the expansion of the Dawn. They used your lives as a threat to force us to retreat. If we retreat now, the Dawn will be filled with endless troubles. The foreign races will follow suit and threaten us with human lives to stop the Kingdom of Dawn from advancing. The future of the Human race would not be bright."
Zhao Yun's words were powerful and came from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at the crying babies, his eyes were already bloodshot. He clenched his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. The veins on his forehead bulged, and his body trembled non-stop.
"Today, I, Zhao Yun, have let everyone down. I don't beg for your forgiveness by just kneeling. I only beg you to be human again in your next life."
Zhao Yun's voice was tinged with a whimper.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Deputy General Yang Yanding knelt.
The 200,000 soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Army Group knelt together as well. Their eyes were red.
"I hope that everyone will see us humans become dragons in your next life."
Their eyes were on the verge of bursting open, and they were about to bleed. They looked at the infants and the pregnant women, and their bodies trembled. No matter how hard-hearted they were, they could not endure such pain. This was the grief that came from their heart.
"You... How dare... How dare you do this!"
When the two-headed Ogre saw this, its eyes almost popped out. It was shocked and furious. It didn't expect that the d*mn Human Army would dare to do this. It turned out that they had made such a choice. They were ignoring the lives of Human civilians. They were going to let the Kingdom of Dawn expand their territory even if they were going to be cursed for thousands of years. They would not give up until they achieved their goal.
Heartless! This group of people was all heartless.
Aren't they afraid of the consequences?
"Lunatics! You are a bunch of lunatics! Aren't you afraid that your king will be furious and kill you all? I'm not afraid to tell you that this is only a small portion of the Human civilians we have. There are still hundreds of thousands of them in our hands. If you don't retreat, they will all die. Bring them up! I don't believe that you guys are so heartless."
When the two-headed Ogre saw this, it flew into a rage.
As soon as the order was given, hundreds of thousands of Human civilians were brought out one after another. They knelt on the rocks, and a large number of babies were crying. It was simply a tragic picture tonight.
This scene caused the faces of Zhao Yun and the others to change drastically, and their entire bodies trembled.
This was not ten thousand, nor tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands. There were no less than 500,000 to 600,000 humans. They appeared in the Stone Valley, densely packed and shocking.
There was no comparison between killing ten thousand and hundreds of thousands of them.
An invisible pressure came crushing over.
This was a pressure that came from the heart.
"Bast*rd!"
"D*mn it! These foreign races are simply a bunch of demons."
"Ogres and all foreign races in the world should be exterminated!"
Seeing a large number of human refugees being brought out again, the residents of Honeysuckle City were enraged. They opened their eyes wide and roared angrily.
Zhao Yun took a deep breath and opened his eyes big, looking at the figures of the civilians. It was as if he wanted to remember everyone in his heart.
"Human civilians, I, Zhao Yun, have let you down. I hope that you can come and find me again in your next life. I'll wait for your arrival to kill me. I swear that I will send ten times, a hundred times more foreign races down to be buried with you."
