Chapter 1512 The Other Areas (2)

This war was definitely one of the fiercest war General Duan had encountered in his entire life.

After a while of looking around, General Duan stepped down the stairs and saw some officials who were still working together. For the sake of Da Yi City, many people had come to participate in this war and put away their displeasure to General Duan.

Perhaps, by now, they had already accepted the fact that General Duan would be their leader.

Even if they were disappointed once by him and unwilling to treat him well, General Duan still protected their city with all he had. What right do they have to ignore him and hated him?

They could only put away their displeasure and instead channeled their energy for their own sake.

They didn't want to die.

So they will work hard to make this thought a reality.

Work hard for their own city and their family.

As for their grudge towards General Duan, it was put aside for the time being so that they could continue moving forward.

"Father."

General Duan turned to the side and saw his first son, Duan Shang Yi, who had lost an arm in the war against Fei Yang Kingdom many years ago and now become an official. His rank was not high but he was still working for the city for the sake of his family.

After all, no matter what, being an official meant that he had enough salary to sustain the lives of the people in his family.

Even though Duan Shang Yi might not have much loyalty towards Fei Yang Kingdom, he was still willing to become an official in Da Yi City.

Because his family is here.

He will be there for them.

"Duan Shang Yi, what is it?" General Duan asked.

It was something that he himself knew and couldn't possibly erase. This was one of the reasons why he chose to accept the punishment that was thrown to him by the people in Da Yi City.

These people trusted him, believed that he would be able to protect them.

But the reality proved otherwise.

Even with his strength back then, General Duan couldn't face Fei Yang Kingdom and ended up surrendering to them.

For many people, his action was the same as betrayal.

Some people could understand the reason for his action.

But many others couldn't.

They could only see what was visible and presented to their eyes and couldn't see the big picture and the consideration that General Duan had put when he made his decision.

"Now, I'm a general from Fei Yang Kingdom and it's my duty to protect the people in Da Yi City," General Duan added calmly. "From the very first time I picked up my sword, I know that the path I treaded will be filled with blood and tears. But this this is the path I have chosen. Even if the result is not as satisfying as my imagination, I will not back out."

Duan Shang Yi looked at his father with a complicated face. "But now we're facing Zhang Xu Kingdom and they stilll..."

"I can't be liked by everyone." General Duan shook his head. "As long as I can protect the people behind me, it doesn't really matter what they thought about me. Some of them will never accept me and I'll not force them to accept me either. As long as I'm still stationed in Da Yi City, I'll stay here and continue to fight."

Duan Shang Yi opened his mouth.

"Think about why you're here and what you want to achieve. If you want to be liked by the people, what do you think you can do?" General Duan turned around. "If you're here only to talk about the fact that I'm being hated by the people in Da Yi City, you can go. I know about it."

After saying that, General Duan walked away.

What his son said, he knew.

But even if he knew, he didn't want to change his position. Because he knew this risk from the very beginning.

That even if he worked hard for these people, many of them were ungrateful b*stard and white eyed wolves.
