Capítulo 1327: Chapter 1298: Cannon Fodder
“This is a war, a war between the Demon Clan and our races, remember this!”
“No matter how weak your strength is, you must contribute your own power to this war. Years later, you will be remembered. Even if you are no longer here, your names will become an honor remembered forever!”
Within the Demon Clan, many continued to fight sporadically with the remaining demons, while more experts scattered in every corner began to boast about defeating the Demon King to their martial artists.
And then send these hot-headed guys to where the Demon King was… to die.
Perhaps in their hearts, there would be a moment of reluctance, but to them, such sacrifices were more necessary!
The Demon King was too strong.
From the previous probing encounters, they could glimpse a bit of the Demon King’s power. It was definitely not something they could resist now.
Even though there were indeed some individuals within the Allied Forces whose strength was greater than others, they were unwilling to easily confront such a powerful enemy.
Because none of them believed they could be a match for the Demon King.
Even teaming up wouldn’t work.
Perhaps, after these cannon fodder had fully exhausted some of the Demon King’s power, they might stand a chance at victory when they strike.
So, a proper sacrifice was necessary!
At least, that was how it looked to them.
A general clad in silver armor looked at the soldiers behind him.
These people were newly recruited soldiers, many of them still just young kids, their cultivation not very high.
But they were martial artists, and that was enough!
He was also a Burning Heat level expert, and even within the Burning Heat level, his strength was considered quite impressive.
Yet he also believed he wouldn’t be a match for the Demon King. So, like other generals, he was encouraging his soldiers to charge at the Demon King.
“This is a great opportunity! No matter how strong the Demon King is, he cannot defeat us all, and as the king of the Demon Clan, who knows what treasures he carries? From the start of the war, we’ve already said that all the spoils of war you obtain are yours! The Allied Forces will not take a single bit!”
This speech undoubtedly moved many, especially the last sentence, which perhaps led to the brutal acts committed by the Allied Forces against the Demon Clan.
And saying this sentence was merely to ensure that when the Allied Forces attacked the Demon Clan, they would have no reservations, leading them to lose their humanity and become real beasts.
Because these soldiers are the easiest to control.
Beside this silver-armored general, an old man showed a hesitant expression, and clearly, though he understood the generals’ thoughts, he did not quite agree with their methods.
Because among these soldiers, many used to be his students.
As a former academy principal, he was reluctant to watch his former students march to their deaths.
“General Rinal, they are still kids, I think…” Hesitating, Wang Qiu wanted to change the general’s mind, but he was interrupted by the cold-faced general before he finished speaking.
“Principal Wang Qiu, I know you care for your students. But please understand, this is not child’s play, or a game of house, this is war! Real war! You’ve seen the strength of the Demon King, if these people don’t exhaust the Demon King’s power, even if we join forces, the only outcome might be defeat.”
“And if we are defeated, the other races will have no effective force to fight the Demon Clan. This… is all the power we have. If the Demon Clan truly wins, the entire continent will tremble under their feet!” Rinal’s gaze met Wang Qiu’s eyes: “Is this a result you wish to see?”
Wang Qiu remained silent, unable to answer.
Despite both being Earth-level experts, there were differences in strength among them. His Black Rope rank left him lacking confidence in front of Rinal’s Burning Heat level.
Moreover, Wang Qiu was not known for his combat prowess. Faced with Rinal’s ferocious interrogation, he was momentarily speechless.
Their conversation was carried out quietly, so others generally couldn’t hear their voices.
But others apparently noticed they were communicating and felt puzzled.
A few curious glances from the soldiers turned to Wang Qiu and Rinal.
“What is the principal talking to the general about? At this moment, others should be fighting, we should hurry over too.”
“Li Weisi, you’re the strongest among us, do you think you’ll be the one to personally defeat the Demon King?”
“Hahaha, of course, it’ll be me!”
“Nonsense! I’m the fastest, surely it’s me who will personally slay the Demon King.”
“Alright, alright, Lin Lang, stop boasting. Although we’re not bad, there are stronger experts in the Allied Forces, how could killing the Demon King fall to us?”
They clearly couldn’t hear Wang Qiu and Rinal’s conversation, but Wang Qiu could hear theirs.
Listening to the students from the Academy of Paradise, Wang Qiu, who had already made a decision, grew more hesitant.
“They… are my students!” Wang Qiu struggled internally.
In the distance, a gaze quietly fell on this group.
Upon noticing the students from the Academy of Paradise, this gaze flickered momentarily.
Li Chen tightened his grip on the Red Moon in his hand silently.
He didn’t think of himself as a saint. Although these generals were sending their subordinates to death, it was none of his business, so Li Chen approached it with a rather indifferent attitude.
However, if those related to him were in danger, he couldn’t stand by idly.
Li Weisi and the others were his students, others going to die he might ignore, but if anyone tried to send his students to die in vain…
“You’ll have to ask if I, their teacher, agree first!” Li Chen’s eyes focused, ready to head over.
But just at that moment, unexpectedly, a figure reached the group before him.
“Trash.”
This suddenly appearing figure looked coldly at the silver-armored Rinal and disdainfully said.
