Chapter 443: Finding Lan (1/2)
Xue Wei looked at the general who was also observing everyone who had arrived.
When he saw that a group of the soldiers who stood in front of him did not show signs of fear, his lips tucked into a smile. These soldiers were the ones he had been waiting for.
The ones who showed fear, just because of his strength, could still be used, but they would not become the core of their army.
Only those who did not show fear in front of an overwhelming foe was worth spending time on and nurturing.
Xue Wei was amongst the people whom the General noticed, and so were his friends, the Chi Branch member and his friends, and a few others who were fearless, but even so, they were all polite.
”Attention!” the General called out, and while the majority trembled in fear after hearing his voice, Xue Wei, the Chi Branch member, and the others who did not fear him looked at him curiously. What was he going to say?
”Since you have been sent to the main army camp, and respectively to me, I expect all of you to be elites. We do not need cowards, nor do we need people who cannot fight!
”Although you belong to the Main Army Camp, you will spend most of your time roaming the coastlines, either here in the Demon Phoenix Continent, or behind enemy lines!
”Here we fight, not only for our own lives, but for our homes, and for our people! For our freedom!
”I need everyone to be aware of the fact that the freedom of our families depends on our actions. Kill all your enemies! If you cannot win, kill as many as you can, and make sure to bring them with you to your death!”
Everyone felt a chill running down their spine as they listened to the General, but no one dared interrupt him.
”I am not going to lie to you, out of you people, I do not even expect even a tenth to survive. When you signed up for the army, you signed your death warrant, but this is not a useless death, this is the sacrifice we pay to save the people of our continent from becoming slaves!
The people who listened were frightened. Although they knew that the mortality rate of the experts in the army was big, they had never thought that it would be this bad. They had never thought that they would become another number in the statistic.
While Xue Wei was listening, he stayed calm and casual. He was not afraid of fighting; all he knew was that he had survived multiple life and death situations. He knew that even if he could not defeat his opponent, he should have a chance to flee. As long as he did not encounter a whole army on his own, he had faith in his Forbidden Rush to escape.
”People change,” Xue Wei suddenly muttered, ”endless battles change a person whether they want to or not.”
