Chapter 556 - Right and Wrong (2/2)
The scenes of war turned ave the villagers the good feelings and excite an Aust… extreust!
When two arrinders Many fa ers wept for the loss of characters they liked, but they were powerless They wished to reach out to help them, but they were separated by time and space, they were in a different world
Helplessness, sorrow, despair…
When Fangzheng saw this, he wanted to curse The darn script writer and director had portrayed many characters who appeared real and relatable Some of them were Rouran They were anti-war and loved peace Yet they were pushed to the front lines by the war machine Some of them were citizens of Hua Mulan’s nation Soood, honest people They were lovable and cute, while some of them were just adolescent children…
Yet in front of war, everything turned bloody Those people died one after another on the battlefield Some died as nameless soldiers, others turned into sieves from the rain of arrows There were some ere trampled to death by the calvary, others beheaded… In short, it was unlike any other movie where the hero remained talkative, never to die
In the face of war, regardless who you were, you would be this helpless Death was just a ood people and memories were instantly destroyed
That intense visual i apart the screen with a weapon Don’t play with my emotions like that! Fk!
The troops which Hua Mulan was part of proceeded forward and left victory in their wake They expelled the Rouran from their borders and pushed them back for fifteen hundred kilometers They decimated the Rouran army and left them in shambles Soon, the Rouran surrendered
The war ended soon after Hua Mulan returned in glory as she encountered citizens who danced and sang on her journey back There were all sorts of celebrations and celebratory drinks offered Cheers and laughter bustled everywhere
However, Hua Mulan was unable to cheer up After politely declining conferment and rewards, she resumed her identity as a woman On the way home, she stood on the mountaintop where she had used to fly kites in her childhood Hua Mulan looked lost She originally believed that she had understood the elderly monk’s words, but she now discovered that she had not She knew nothing!
The villagers also pondered over the ure out what the elderly monk had meant
“Sister! The Rouran have surrendered, but I heard His Majesty doesn’t plan on wiping the with them and wants to talk about peace I seriously don’t understand We won, so what’s there to negotiate? If they remain defiant, can’t we just attack them and end it? We will beat them up until they wet their pants and scream bloody murder Won’t there be peace if they are all killed?” Hua Mulan’s younger brother shouted
“War? Do you know the outcohed inwardly as she asked softly
“What outcoardless of the outco proudly and show our nation’s strength! Let those bastards kno strong we are! Why is His Majesty doing this? How aggrieving!” Her younger brother wagged his fists and clarow up, I want to be like you, Sister I want to lead an arhed “All you know is to be hot-headed Do you know that behind all of that is death? That death represents the sorrow of countless people The destruction of the land and the breaking up of families Brother, ould you do if I were to die on the battlefield? What would Father and Mother do? Besides, how could the Rouran be so easily destroyed? It would be alright if they were destroyed… But if soain When the time comes, another ill ensue The ones who suffer will still be the civilians”
Her younger brother was taken aback as his head shook like a rattle “You won’t die Sister, you are too formidable You won’t die”
“What if?”
“My heart hurts just thinking about it, so I don’t want to”
“You still have me, and your heart can still ache out of worry for me But what about the families of the soldiers who died in coardless of the era, war is never the only solution to solving a problem Instead, it’s the final measure Peace is what is nanin of weakness Of course, if the other party has a death wish, ill let them understand the preciousness of peace An emperor cares more about his reputation than the coive that up for the commoners is a wise ruler,” said Hua Mulan
“But are we not to retaliate when others attack?” asked the confused brother
“If it can no longer be tolerated, then there’s no need to tolerate War is the final resort; it does not mean it cannot be used” When Hua Mulan said that, her eyes suddenly lit up
Hua Mulan turned back and saw the sun illuminate the land Above the luxurious land, there were vibrant signs of life The livestock in the village sounded as smoke spiraled out of kitchens The very ordinary scene was silent, but she had a paradoxical feeling—the scene was so beautiful that it was stifling!
Upon seeing this scene and the youngas she looked in the direction where the elderly monk had passed away She knelt down and koed “Venerable One, I have understood!”
With that said, the look in Hua Mulan’s eyes turned brighter She got up and seemed a few centimeters taller than before
