"Really?" Sheng Shan Lang was the most surprised. He was not privy to many pieces of news because of his background. The fact that he could grow until this far was also due to his perseverance and also some luck.
Feng Ao Kuai nodded and turned to look at Mu Sheng Xi. "It happens with your father, isn't it?"
Mu Sheng Xi paused for a moment and then sighed. "It's the adjutant under my father, General Cao. He used the villagers as bait to lure the enemy's commander and killed them all."
Nan Luo was stunned.
He never thought of using the civilians' life to win the war in the slightest bit. Because in his mind, he knew that the goal of this war was to give better life for the people in Fei Yang Kingdom and not to kill them all.
With them conquering a lot of cities, these people would also be part of Fei Yang Kingdom. He definitely couldn't treat them badly unless they attacked them first.
"This is war, Luo." Nan Hua patted her twin brother's shoulder. "Even if you don't see it and don't know about it, it happens in some areas."
For some commanders, the people in the cities they conquered were their war trophies. They could do anything they wanted with these people. The law was not so strict, thus allowing them to truly showed what kind of animal they could be.
The so called compassion, virtue, and other kindness were nothing but lip service.
"I won't do anything like that." Nan Luo frowned.
No matter how cruel the war is, he didn't want to become like them and involved the civilians in this battle. What was the point of hurting these innocent people and exploit them? He would only garner more hatred.
"People are different." Mu Sheng Xi shrugged. He himself didn't want to treat these people badly. However, he definitely couldn't control other commanders' thoughts and their behavior.
He could only restrict the people under him.
"It's fine. You're not the only one." Nan Hua looked at Nan Luo and then looked into the distance.
She herself had long crossed the bottom line in her heart many times when she was in her previous world. How many innocent people had died in her hand?
She couldn't count it anymore.
Because of the missions assigned to her, she had already taken so many lives. The lives of people she didn't know but she had to take if she wished to survive. It repeated for so many times to the point that she questioned why she had to stay alive.
By the time she was in that institute, she was actually already thinking about whether it would be good to die.
Because she was tired.
But then the incident happened and she crossed to this world.
Out of instinct, she did her best to survive and make sure that no one found anything wrong with 'Nan Hua.' It was to the point that she had blended into this world and not willing to leave it anymore.
Even if this world is not perfect and there were many things that she had to do to protect the people she cared for, she didn't mind in the slightest bit.
"Hua'er?" Nan Luo called out in a low voice, his tone was tinged with worry.
"I'm fine." Nan Hua looked at her twin brother and raised her hand, patting his head tenderly.
Nan Luo stiffened on his bed and looked at his twin sister before a smile broke out on his face. When they were young, they would pat each other's head, but after Nan Hua lost her memories, she never done it again.
Now, he felt comfort.
Just staying with his sister and laughed together with her made him happy.
"Hua'er, are you fine with it?"
"Hmm?"
"You have some relationship with General Yu, right?" Nan Luo scratched the back of his head. "Are you fine with them being so cruel like this?"
