Three consecutive sharp questions, ringing in the ears! These martial artists carefully thought about it and realized that it was indeed the truth. Right now, they are resisting the foreign invaders on the front lines, but their own countrys common people are suffering in the rear, enduring displacement and misery. Some, in order to survive, have had to take up arms in rebellion. The longer they resist, the longer the common people behind them suffer. Some couldnt help but doubt, Are we doing the right thing?

Dont listen to Lin Beifans nonsense; hes just trying to argue! A sharp voice rang out, Certainly, we are resisting on the front lines, and the people in the rear are suffering! But if we really let the allied forces in, can the common people behind us live in peace? You must know that they are invaders! How can invaders treat our common people kindly? At that time, the common people behind us will undoubtedly suffer even more! So, everyone must hold on and not be swayed by them!

Upon hearing this, they once again felt it made sense, and their determination grew stronger. Lin Beifan chuckled, Invaders? Why do you speak so harshly? Do you know that since the ice disaster, how many Great Xia common people have fled to our Great Wu for their livelihoods?

They all looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion, unable to answer.

Lin Beifan raised a finger, At least a million! Everyone was shocked. How is that possible? Are you lying to us?

A million! So many?

Lin Beifan raised his voice, Would I deceive you for no reason? Go and inquire within the borders of Great Wu, go and see for yourselves, and youll know if there are so many people! If the Great Xia common people could survive, why would they leave their homes and come to Great Wu? You must understand that our Great Wu and Great Xia have hostile relations; the border between the two sides is very tense! I didnt hold a knife to their necks, but they still ran to our side!

It shows that our Great Wu is better than Great Xia!

It shows that our Great Wu is peaceful, and in our land, they can make a living! It shows that Great Xia is not peaceful; they have no future here, so they can only come to our side!

This is their own choice, they genuinely recognize Great Wu, so they are willing to serve Great Wu!

Here, they live better than in Great Xia, and they have dignity!

Lets talk about the Darro Kingdom and the White Elephant Kingdom!

Lin Beifan smiled and said, These two countries only joined Great Wu in the past two years! Look at their common people now, they are living well, with fields to cultivate, stable food supplies, clothes to wear, cement houses to live in their lives have improved many times over!

Not joining our Great Wu would be their loss! So, when it comes to the latecomers, do you think we will treat the common people well?

Lin Beifan confidently spread his hands and asked, Isnt all of this clear evidence? Do I need to say more?

After listening to Lin Beifans words, their hearts wavered once again. As Lin Beifan pointed out, if the Great Xia common people could survive in Great Xia, why would they leave their homes and seek a livelihood in a distant enemy country?

Truth be told, if they were Great Xia common people, they might also choose Great Wu because, looking around the world, Great Wu is relatively peaceful and stable. In other countries, the common people have even fewer opportunities, and they can only run there to have a glimmer of hope for survival.

Moreover, the common people of Darro Kingdom and White Elephant Kingdom seem to be doing well now. Despite experiencing the ice disaster, life is still tough, but they are at least better off than the common people in Great Xia. Could it be that they are wrong, and Great Wu is truly the popular choice?

Seeing this, the Marshal of Great Xia couldnt help but feel uneasy and shouted, Dont listen to Lin Beifans deceptive words; dont be swayed by him! Hes an invader, and his words cant be trusted

Under the reassurance of the other side, this group of martial artists once again settled down. Lin Beifan rode his horse and moved back into the midst of the alliances army.

Zhao Kuo couldnt help but ask, Commander, what do we do now? Attack the city directly? Lin Beifan smiled and shook his head, No rush! The strongest fortresses are often breached from within! We will now implement the Peoples Heart Plan!

Yes, Commander!

So, the alliances army camped.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

They made fires, cooked food, and reorganized their troops, but they didnt attack the city. The Great Xia side was the defending side, and since the alliances army didnt attack, they naturally didnt initiate any attacks either, dragging each other along.

The Marshal of Great Xia angrily said, Hero Guo, our soldiers are fighting on the front lines, and they are betraying us from behind. If we dont deal with this promptly, well be vulnerable from both sides, and the country will be in danger! In turbulent times, we must use severe measures. Please understand my predicament!

Hero Guo glanced at the million common people below the city, then at the determined Marshal of Great Xia, and thought about the current situation. Finally, he sighed and made a decision.

Release the arrows! The Marshal of Great Xia shouted.

Swish, swish, swish Countless arrows were fired.

Numerous Great Xia common people fell in a pool of blood.

The martial artists who had come to defend their homeland on the city wall felt a chill in their hearts when they saw this scene. Their own people had not died at the hands of the invaders but indeed at the hands of their own government.

Everything they were doing now

Was it right?

They were utterly confused!

On the other side, Lin Beifan had already received the news. He immediately ordered his three armies and shouted, Ive heard that a million Great Xia common people have gathered on the other side of the city gate to welcome us! We cannot disappoint the Great Xia common people! The entire army, follow me and cut through the White Tiger Mountains, into Great Xia!

Charge!!! The entire army moved.

More than fifty innate experts under Lin Beifans command were the first to charge!

On the city walls.

A Great Xia soldier rushed over anxiously. Marshal, something big has happened! The million-strong alliance army is on the move, heading towards our border fortress! Among them, their innate (led by Zhao) experts are about to reach the city walls!

The Marshal of Great Xia was shocked. What? Theyre coming at a time like this?

This was truly a situation where they were vulnerable from both sides!

If they couldnt hold on, this defensive line would collapse! The Marshal of Great Xia was in a state of urgency and quickly said to the martial artists around him, I implore all the heroes to lend a hand and resist the alliances innate experts! I thank you all!

Hero Guo arched his hand and said, Marshal, this commoner is currently in a state of confusion, not knowing whether the convictions and justice Ive been holding are right or wrong! So, I wont participate in this battle. Please understand, Marshal, and bid farewell!

The Marshal of Great Xia was dumbfounded. Ah? Hero Guo, you

Hero Guo arched his hand once more and then left.

Following him, the second hero stepped forward, arching his hand respectfully, Marshal, I also have doubts in my heart, and until I clear my thoughts, Ill take my leave!

The third hero said, I am powerless in this battle. I have to go!

The fourth hero said, Farewell, Marshal!

Other heroes also left, disregarding the Marshals attempts to stop them.

Two-thirds of the innate experts left, and other justice-minded martial artists, witnessing the imperial armys harm to their own people, felt disappointed and silently departed. The Marshal of Great Xia looked at the innate experts of the alliance who had already reached the city walls, their eyes filled with despair.

Its over! Great Xia is finished!
