Chapter 1776: Tens of Thousands and Several Lives
In every era, people like those in villages can only survive in the cracks.
The weak eat the strong, the law of the forest.
Sects, aristocratic families, and dynasties often treat ordinary people's lives as worthless.
If nothing happens on weekdays, they will ignore you. When they are in a good mood, they may smile at you, or reward you with something that is enough to let them embark on the path of cultivation... but for the cultivators, these are things that they look down upon.
Once he was in a bad mood, he would kill the civilians to vent his anger, even if it was not the civilians' fault.
To these people, the lives of ordinary people are of no importance at all.
As it is now.
Let these villagers serve as human bombs, even unarmed women and children will not be spared.
The appearance of Ning Chenxin undoubtedly gave these villagers peace of mind.
Upon hearing this, the ten armored cavalry generals cast their surprised glances at Ning Chenxin.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of our dynasty?!"
Ning Chenxin said calmly: "It doesn't matter who I am. I am stranded here, and the villagers give me food and drink and warmly entertain me, so I can't just ignore it."
"Oh, with you?" The leading armored man sneered coldly, "With their mortal bodies, they can delay the enemy for some time and buy a chance for our country to return to defend. It is a great honor for them to do such a thing that brings honor to our ancestors!"
Ning Chenxin frowned. It was this attitude of treating human life as worthless that made him feel very uncomfortable.
The point is, this happens basically everywhere.
Behind him, another soldier spread his hands and sneered, "It's just that they are only worth this much."
The villagers could only clench their fists in anger and dare not say anything...
Ning Chenxin raised his head and looked at the ten soldiers, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, "Without strength, isn't it a human life? They just haven't been exposed to these conditions, but they work every day, don't steal, rob, kill or plunder, and do their own duties contentedly. Such people are looked down upon or even despised by you?"
The ten soldiers were stunned when they heard this.
He didn't feel guilty about Ning Chenxin's words, nor did he have a guilty conscience.
I was just shocked and surprised by Ning Chenxin's words.
Such remarks have never appeared in their subconscious minds and have never been considered.
They just thought that these villagers had no strength, and since they lived within their borders, they had to contribute to them, even at the cost of their lives.
This will not cause any loss to their dynasty, and will also be able to delay the opponent for some time and make them lose some combat power.
Why not do this kind of business where you are guaranteed to make money?
That's right...in this case, the lives of ordinary people will definitely not be counted as losses.
After the shock.
The soldiers behind him snorted: "He is really a madman. Don't say anything more to him. Just kill him!"
Done.
This person jumped up from the horse first and rushed towards Ning Chenxin!
"careful!"
When the villagers saw this, their pupils shrank slightly and they couldn't help but remind them.
Ning Chenxin sighed slightly, put his hands behind his back and took out a book from the book basket behind him, opened it, and shouted softly: "Suppress it."
A single word.
The space around the soldier began to distort wildly.
At the same time, the soldiers' forward rushing figures suddenly stopped, and then fell violently, with their whole bodies hitting the ground heavily, making a roar!
It was as if the sky was falling, and the soldiers' faces were pressed to the ground, appearing a little distorted.
It was shocking to see that this harmless and elegant scholar was beaten to the point where he had no chance to fight back with just one word.
The other soldiers were also shocked.
Seeing this, another soldier sent a voice message to the leading soldier and asked, "Commander, shall we attack together?"
The commander shook his head, his expression under the helmet looking solemn, and said: "He is no match... I can't see through his strength."
The soldiers were all shocked!
The commander took a deep breath, took a few steps forward on his horse, looked at Ning Chen and thought, "No matter who you are, this is a matter of our dynasty. I'm afraid you went too far, didn't you?"
Ning Chenxin raised his head slightly, looked at the commander and said, "I can't just watch them die."
The commander frowned and said, "Since you value human life so much, then the lives of the people in the city behind this village are not worth living?"
The commander continued, "The city in the rear is an extremely important defense hub for our dynasty. If this city is breached, it means that all cities within a radius of 10,000 miles will be in trouble! The lives of these tens of millions of people will no longer be lives, right?"
Ning Chenxin frowned and said, "Can what you said be reversed by the sacrifice of these villagers?"
"It is indeed impossible to reverse the situation." The commander shook his head: "But their sacrifice is enough for me to send soldiers back to defend. This way, at least we will not be defeated."
"It is more likely that their sacrifice will help to defend the city and save tens of millions of people from disaster."
The commander stared at Ning Chenxin closely, took a few steps forward, and pressed on, "If you value human life so much, then it should be obvious which is more important, these dozens of powerless villagers or the tens of millions of lives of our dynasty."
Hear this.
Ning Chenxin also smiled bitterly in his heart.
Although this kind of thing is not unforeseen.
Even his master had told him about similar things and asked him how he should have handled it at that time.
Ning Chenxin was very conflicted at that time, and the answer he finally gave was to improve his own strength so that he could have the best of both worlds.
However, when he really encountered such a thing, Ning Chenxin couldn't help but feel conflicted.
Just as the commander said.
According to common sense.
The lives of tens of millions are more important than the lives of dozens.
but……
Can human lives be compared?
Whose life is not life?
But what if this really leads to the loss of the enemy city and the death of tens of millions of lives?
Ning Chenxin remembered what his master had said.
This kind of thing cannot be avoided or eradicated, and it occurs all the time in every world.
If you want to solve it, you can only rely on your strength to suppress it...
Although in essence I am still pursuing strength like everyone else, this is not shameful. Without the deterrence of strength, simple persuasion is useless.
Think of this.
Ning Chenxin raised his head and looked at the commander, saying, "I will help you guard the city."
The commander was stunned.
Obviously, I didn't expect to get such an answer.
but……
When this was said.
Ning Chenxin's figure was forcibly dragged into the sky!
In front of him, a faceless figure said, "Okay, you have made your choice, so just watch it."
The next sentence was exactly the same as what Master said at the beginning.
This is what I just thought in my mind, the follow-up to what Master said.
"But there will come a time when you are not strong enough and have to give up one side and you are powerless. How will you deal with it at this time..."
