*Warning: the scene below is very cruel. It's recommended for the readers to be above 13 years old to continue. Readers' discretion is required. Proceed with your own caution.*
"Bastard!" General Shangguan yelled out loud.
He was not the only one.
Many other soldiers under his commands were looking to the front, their eyes were filled with anger and despairs. Because they knew very well that the fate of these women and children depended on their decision.
They're not just ordinary women and children.
Many of the soldiers yelled their names...
Because these were all their family members.
"How come they're here?" Shangguan Xiao's blood turned cold when he saw the scene in front of him. The soldiers who were preparing for battles were now frozen in place and some even wanted to break through the formation.
They couldn't bear to see the scene of their loved ones being killed in front of them.
How many women and children were at the front?
There are hundreds of them!
It simply made them feel desperate.
Shangguan Xiao was most confused as to how Shi Long Kingdom were able to transport these people here in such a short period of time. Not to mention, these women and children should have been located far away from the frontline.
They should have been in the safe place.
Why?
Why are they here?
"Commander Shangguan..." General Hong's expression was also not very good. Even though none of his and his soldiers' family members were captured by Shi Long Kingdom, but this kind of method simply made their blood turned cold.
They were busy fighting at the frontline and their family members should have been protected on the back.
Because many of them become soldiers in order to give their family members a better place to live.
But in this situation...
"That's..."
If they were to retreat, they will lose and become the sinner of their kingdom. Because the reason of their loss was not because they couldn't fight, but because they didn't want to fight.
But even if he had to bear that heavy names, Shangguan Xian's eyes were firm. "I can't let these people die, so if you want us to retreat, we will do it."
The soldiers were looking at each other.
It was unknown what they were thinking in their heart, but it was clear that they were not very calm.
Because this battle involved the interest of many people.
Which one is more important, family or kingdom?
Everyone's answer would be different.
It was human's nature and what people prioritized has always been different from one person to another.
"Very moving." Heavenly General Bao laughed. He looked at the people from Fei Yang Kingdom, especially Shangguan Xian. Even if the young man was young, but he was very decisive.
He looked at the row of women and children not far from him and suddenly felt bored.
"Unfortunately, I never intend to release them. Seeing them dies in front of your eyes is very exciting, isn't it?" Heavenly General Bao suddenly turned and smiled.
With a wave of his hand, the soldiers started to move.
"DO NOT!"
"Charge!" Shangguan Xian gave the order and the soldiers immediately charged forward, trying to save the people in front of them.
But the distance was too far.
How could they reach it in time?
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Blood shed like river, cries resound on the battlefield, and many people were screaming loudly. It was chaotic, but the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom all still moved forward.
Because this is war.
And all is fair in war.
