With Long Chen's order, these bloodthirsty Starry Sky Warriors matched their wishes perfectly, continuing to frantically hunt down these traitors.
Thus, the battle circle became a slaughterhouse, with over three hundred powerful warriors frantically hunting these black-armored warriors.
"No, ... you can't treat us like this. We've already surrendered, so why do you still want to wipe us out?"
"You have no sense of justice like this. Surrender is not allowed; you will only force more people to fight you to the death."
"If you kill us, you'll chill everyone's hearts. Your actions are wrong."
When Long Chen issued the killing order, the black-armored experts let out terrified screams.
At this moment, several academy elders walked over to Long Chen and Guo Ran, one of them speaking in a deep voice:
"Dean Guo Ran, since they have surrendered, we should accept it. Otherwise, morally, we have no grounds to stand."
Moreover, this only makes those who betray more resolutely. Since death is a matter of life anyway, it's better to fight desperately, as that will cause the greatest damage to future wars.
After they surrender, we can obtain intelligence on the other side and gain a batch of combat power. Dean Guo Ran, you really need to think twice." These
elders were the Battlefield Ritual Keepers, mainly responsible for recording events on the battlefield, such as the course of the war, the number of opponents, their own numbers, and the tactical tactics used by both sides.
The Battlefield Book of Rites is a very important matter. Through it, later generations can learn the detailed course of war, summarize victorious experiences, learn lessons from defeat, and remember which people's performances led to victory and which mistakes led to defeat.
The authors of the Battlefield Rituals were all highly respected elders within the academy. They had little combat power, and their lifespans were nearing the end of their lives. They had to use the last rays of their lives to do something for the academy.
If the battle failed, they would be killed along with them, but they were not afraid of death, believing that dying on the battlefield was the best ending for them.
So these elders are all stubborn old men. Their battlefield records are written with fairness and objectivity, never deliberately slandering or praising anyone. Their tempers are very tough.
Now that these people had come to warn Guo Ran, and to use such a tone was already quite polite to him.
"Elders, I know you mean well for me and don't want me to bear some disgraceful records.
But my boss said not to keep the surrendered soldiers, so there was a reason. I didn't understand it either, but I didn't ask; I just followed the boss's lead.
As for how you record it, I think you should record it as you should. You shouldn't let the academy's heroic role models affect your work.
Anyway, all I know is that my boss will never make a mistake, so you can just follow the normal records. Guo Ran said.
Guo Ran was also very polite to upright people, since there were few upright people left.
"Mr. Long Chen, I am just a ritual officer and should not have the right to ask you some questions. But is there some deeper meaning behind your approach? Could you please explain a little so I can record it myself?" Seeing Guo Ran obey Long Chen, the old man had no choice but to look at him.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "My orders carry no deeper meaning. Those who betray must pay the price for their actions." "
Maybe they were just acting on impulse for a moment, but now they've repented. Can't we give them a chance to turn over a new leaf and start anew?" The old man asked.
"Turn over a new leaf? Turning over a new leaf? Do I have the right to give them this chance? Do you have the right to give them that opportunity?
Do you have the right to forgive the wronged souls who were killed by them? Long Chen looked coldly at the old man and said.
"Well..."
The old man was immediately stumped by the question. After pondering for a moment, he said, "But after they surrender, they can redeem themselves. The deceased are gone. Even if we kill them, the dead won't return, but the living must still survive."
By accepting surrenderers, they can be transformed into combat power, strengthening our ranks and thus reducing casualties.
At the same time, it also leaves a backup plan for those who betray, so they don't have to fight desperately in every battle to shake their morale, and more and more will surrender in the future.
The past is gone; we need to look further ahead, not ..."
"Nonsense," Long Chen said coldly.
"How can you curse me?" The elders were furious.
"Curse people! I wish I could smash you idiots to death. With such a great enemy at our doorstep, spreading false rumors—if it were my Dragonblood Legion, you would be executed immediately.
You are foolish and unaware of yourself, yet you wear the label of a good person to persuade others. People like you are the greatest harm.
The harm you bring to humanity is greater than those of traitors; a good person is more evil than ten great villains. Long Chen shouted angrily.
"You... You ... Tell me clearly, how did we end up being good people? These elders were so angry they were trembling.
"Since ancient times, kindness does not command troops. How many good people have your so-called good intentions actually caused the deaths of good people?"
How do you know that after surrendering, they are united with us. They can betray us once, but not a second time? How do you know they won't stab you in the back?
Since they could betray the human race and wield the sword against their own kind, he was no longer human.
Whether they are threatened or tempted, a mistake is a mistake, and everyone must take responsibility for their own mistakes.
If I accept their surrender, it would leave a way out for those traitors, and likewise, it would also leave a way out for some of the current human race, who are wavering.
Betraying is no big deal; at worst, you can just surrender and come back. It's just that people scold you, but you won't die.
With the cost of betrayal so cheap, tell me, how many people among the human race today will become fence-sitters, going with the wind, and what kind of impact will this have on humanity? How could the human race unite to resist the Moluo clan? Long Chen pointed at the old man and cursed.
"This ..." The group of elders was instantly left speechless.
"You don't understand this nonsense, so don't talk nonsense. If you're stupid enough, don't drag others down with you."
They think that because they're old and have seen more, they can freely guide others. But if others are influenced by you and ultimately lead to the extinction of humanity, can you old folks bear the burden?
You are compilers of the Book of Rites. Let me ask you, you are recording history. If your history is recorded, how will future generations evaluate you? Long Chen said coldly.
Several elders were instantly overwhelmed with shame. They had come to persuade Guo Ran based on past experience, never expecting such a huge karmic connection to be involved.
Although Long Chen cursed them out, they had to admit that he made a good point and was powerless to refute them.
"From now on, anyone who questions my orders, you must be a bastard. If you don't leave, I'll kill you without mercy." Long Chen said coldly.
"Rumble ...."
At that moment, the Gate of Space trembled and rapidly expanded. One massive warship after another burst out from within. When Guo Ran saw the leading warship, he couldn't help but gasp:
"Boss, something's wrong! It's the Luo family's Qingying warship."
