I am a director in Ark. If I am not banned, I will be considered successful.

"This is simply suicide, a suicidal charge! How many people will be left on our side by the time we get to the enemy camp? What kind of idiot designed this tactic?!"

However, everyone's voice resounded in the open-air cinema. Not only Victoria's soldiers, but also Ursus, Letania and the Sarkaz, all condemned this crazy suicidal attack.

As the movie goes on, the people around Emil fall one by one. The deeper they go into the enemy camp, the more corpses there are around them, and the voices of condemnation become more and more intense.

And when Emil and others had to rely on the corpses of their comrades to advance and use these corpses to block the Originium skills of the Leithanian warlocks, even the Sarkaz began to frown.

"Using corpses as cover... How many people died? How many people have to die to be enough?"

“Even I have never done this, except when Kazdel was destroyed…”

"Although there are people in our tribe who can manipulate corpses... but this kind of meaningless death..."

For a moment, the Sarkaz didn't know what to say, but everyone felt a sense of anger without a doubt - because of the meaningless deaths of these soldiers, because of the orders of these high-ranking officers who didn't care about the lives of the soldiers, so many people died in vain!

Or perhaps, they have already put themselves in the shoes of Emir, an ordinary member of this war. They can feel a sense of humiliation and anger burning in their hearts!

Finally, Emile could no longer bear it, and faced with the still stubborn supervision of the battle, he ordered the Gallic soldiers to charge again, and continuously hit the feet of any cowardly soldiers with small firearms, forcing them to continue to gamble their lives on that one in a million hope.

Finally, when the last comrade beside him fell, countless images emerged in Emil's mind.

He thought of his Leitanian friend who had died tragically in the mines.

He thought of Carl who died in a violent accident.

He thought of the Gallic officer who was stern at first but always the first to charge.

Everything destroyed Emil's rationality. He struggled to get up, picked up a wounded soldier's weapon, and rushed behind the officer almost immediately.

And this time, what he raised was not a shovel or a wooden spoon - for the first time, he raised the long sword that symbolized killing!

At that moment, the madness in his eyes, those eyes that had always been lifeless and tired, were finally driven mad by the war and stained with a hint of ferocity. It was the first time that he killed in order to stop the killing.

"puff!"

"Okay!"XN

In the movie, Emil finally attacked the Gallic officer, and as the Gallic officer's head flew out, the entire battlefield suddenly resounded with thunderous cheers! Countless soldiers, regardless of their camps, all expressed their emotions with their roars and applause after Emil made the right choice.

There is no doubt that everyone approved of what Emile did. When Emile pointed his weapon at his superiors, no soldier thought he was wrong. Instead, they felt he was a true hero!

It stopped a killing, a senseless killing, and caused the soldiers, who had been suppressed for a long time by such a depressing situation and such a desperate war, to let out a shocking roar!

They were cheering for Emile, but wasn't it because... Emile did something they simply didn't dare to do?

[The Nivelle invasion was a bloody battle and a massacre. Soon there was a mutiny among the Gallic legions, and the attack ended in vain.]

"Good!" The narration in the movie also made all the soldiers cheer. The end of a meaningless massacre made every soldier who had experienced the previous catharsis feel happy again.

In the following plot, everything seems to be developing in a good direction. Carl took advantage of the Gaul attack on his hometown to escape back home. Although he fell under the spread of mineral disease, fortunately, his good partner "Walker" helped him escape, and with the help of Anna, Carl was very lucky to escape successfully.

When Carl, who had just escaped death and regained consciousness, saw his daughter, wife, Anna and Walker who had recovered, the scene of their family finally reunited moved countless soldiers to tears.

Because as bystanders, they all know that all this is not easy... and don't they themselves want to be reunited with their families as soon as possible? What if they are like Carl in the movie?

"Why are you crying? A grown man is crying like a woman."

"*Ursus swears*! Aren't you crying too?"

"I was stung by the smoke. Whose cigarette smell is so strong? It stung my eyes!"

There is no doubt that the happy ending after surviving the disaster is invaluable to everyone in the war. Regardless of nationality or position, they all feel fortunate and comforted for the reunion of this family.

At that moment, they finally felt that the war was over. At least for this family, the war was over.

In the end, it was the narration of the movie that brought them back to reality.

[Marie, who had not been waiting for any news from Emile, finally received a letter from her father a few weeks later.]

[Emir was in prison for his involvement in a mutiny in the army, awaiting trial by a military court, and he wrote this letter to his daughter.]

These few words brought everyone's attention back to Emil. In the movie, Emil was waiting decadently in prison, with the light of the setting sun outside the iron bars shining on him.

"——Emile."

The peace lasted until the prison gate opened, and a Gallic officer walked into the cell. He looked at Emile calmly, with pity hidden in his eyes, but more of it was tranquility. He said calmly, neither anxious nor impatient, neither urging nor rushing:

"Time is up."

The time has come. Everyone seems to know what this means, including Emil himself.

He stood up calmly, ready to face his own fate.

Chapter 111: To Emil, the humanity praised in Braveheart

From the moment Emir, played by Mainna, pointed his weapon at his superior and killed him, everyone actually knew what the outcome would be for Emir.

No matter what the reason was, no matter what kind of justice it was...it could not change the fact that he had betrayed. Moreover, killing his own superior, no matter the mission, was enough to sentence Emile to death in war.

Even though... everyone knows that Emile's choice is correct and he is a hero.

But heroes...are often honored posthumously.

In the army, no matter what a soldier does, no matter how correct and just it is under the circumstances at the time, he has committed a traitorous act. For the sake of the overall seriousness of the army and to prevent the other soldiers from mutinying, Emile's fate was actually doomed to death.

Soldiers are only allowed to obey, even if they are heroes.

Therefore, all the people in the movie, even the officer who came to deliver the message and the two Gallic soldiers escorting Emil, no one urged Emil to do anything, but they were still performing their tasks.

And Emile did not escape from anything. He stood up and faced his fate.

All of a sudden, as Emile stood up, soldiers in the newly built open-air cinemas in Victoria, Ursus, Leitania... and every battlefield began to stand up involuntarily.

At first there were only one or two, but slowly, more and more soldiers began to stand up spontaneously. In the end, almost every soldier chose to stand up and watched the hero in the movie slowly leave.

At the same time, on the silent battlefield, no one made any sound - until the sound of the piano slowly sounded in the movie, accompanied by Emil's footsteps.

The sound of the piano... was so soft and peaceful, but for those who had experienced the ravages of war and finally saw the light of day again and welcomed the dawn of peace, it made them feel unprecedentedly touched.

At this moment, Emile did not speak, but his voice sounded slowly. The last letter to his daughter was told in a calm tone as he walked step by step towards the end of his fate.

"Dearest Mary, my war is over."

"I don't have any resentment in my heart. I have witnessed too much horror. I just hope that fate can be kinder to you."

In this letter, Emile's tone is so kind and full of love. After experiencing madness, he has now regained his sanity. However, when he regained his sanity and the war ended, he met his own fate.

However, this time, there was still no resentment in Emil's tone. He was still as calm and composed as at the beginning of the movie, and this time, there was a little more reluctance.

He spoke in a fatherly tone, which made many soldiers present think of their own fathers, the kind of father who was taciturn and silently carried the instructions of his father.

"Our time on earth is so short, and I have enjoyed enough blessings."

“I only feel grateful.”

"—especially thank God for giving you to me."

Elmi's words brought tears to the eyes of many soldiers who were already fathers, but they still held back their tears. No one made a sobbing sound, and no one wanted to disturb this moment.

Emile, wearing shackles, walked forward step by step. The officer in front was waiting for Emile to catch up at a very slow pace. They slowly approached a group of Gallic soldiers, where there were two rows of Gallic soldiers, watching Emile.

"This is my last letter."

"The military court sentenced me to death for murdering my superior."

Although they knew this was the outcome, after Emile personally confirmed the news in his letter, it still shattered the remaining illusions in the hearts of countless people...

In the movie, each of the two rows of Gallic soldiers looked at Emil with respect. They saluted him, took off their helmets to mourn him, and each of them admired Emil from the bottom of their hearts.

Freddy, who was in the army, saluted Emile, took off his hat sadly, and watched his comrade leave...

"I had never thought of killing him until that moment, but ..."

“…War makes people crazy.”

War drives people crazy. This short sentence once again hurt the hearts of countless soldiers. They lowered their heads one after another, and in their minds, they couldn't help but think of everything they had done for the war in the past few months...

Many Ursus soldiers closed their eyes, remembering what they had done... forcing Victoria's civilians into slavery, bombing the city, and attacking both Victorian soldiers and local resistance forces...

And how could there be few people who were forcibly conscripted into the army among them? Didn't Ursus's army have any infected people? No family members? Didn't they have been civilians?

At this moment, even the Victorian soldiers who were defending their country were deeply moved by these words.

Since the arrival of the Sarkaz mercenaries, the two Ursus armies, and the "Golden Law Guards" of Leithania, the outbreak of this all-out war has made every Victorian soldier and local armed forces, whether they are active soldiers or civilians who have signed up to go to the battlefield, deeply understand the meaning of these words after these few months of war.

Because of the war, they made many choices against their will... They could take up arms and fight to defend their homes, but were these things what they would have thought about before?

Killing, deliberately maiming the enemy, and even killing those who have no hope of rescue with their own hands...are these crimes not also committed on their hands?

The war drove everyone crazy.

"Even though I failed Carl...I know my sacrifice was not in vain."

Emile walked forward step by step, towards the executioner's stake that would end his life. There was no hesitation, no delay or fear in his steps.

In front of Emil, familiar figures appeared one after another... Walker, Anna, Karl... The people who accompanied and supported him along the way all appeared and disappeared before his eyes...

“I fought for my country and my freedom — I maintained my dignity.”

"Since fate has separated us here, I pray that we can meet again in heaven."

In the end, Emile came to the end of his life. He was tied to a pillar, his eyes covered with a turban, and two Gallic soldiers raised their guns at him.

"—Don't forget me."

"Love you as always Daddy... forever."

"Boom!"

Two sounds of gunfire were heard, followed by the dull sound of someone falling to the ground. At this moment, the entire movie was plunged into darkness... It seemed to be the last mercy that prevented the audience from witnessing the death of this old friend.

However, when the sound symbolizing the execution rang out, countless soldiers still couldn't help but shed tears, and waves of sobbing sounds continued to ring out in various places, lingering...

When the film regained its luster, the voice of the narrator sounded again, the camera turned, and the picture froze in a garden full of martyrs' tombstones.

[Although their bodies have long since turned to dust, they live forever in people's hearts. ]

We must cherish these memories.

【Never forget...】

At the end of the movie, Carl, Mary, their children, and Walker, who rescued the tooth beast, all stood in front of the wooden cross symbolizing Emil's grave, quietly gazing at the grave of this brave man.

At this moment, everyone seemed to understand the meaning of the name of this movie.

A brave heart is not about how many honors you have won in the war or how many enemies you have killed. It is about being like these people in the movie, who never abandon their humanity even in the midst of bullets and bloodshed, and use their own way to save every life and every soul...

Perhaps, people like them seemed a little "stupid" in the war, but the brilliance of their humanity still saved many lives.

This is a brave heart, which is able to retain one's humanity and kindness in the midst of suffering and despair, even when knowing that there are mountains of corpses and seas of blood ahead.

Because of the existence of these people, even in war, or in an era even crazier than war... the light of humanity can shine again and again, and their civilization can be continued again and again.

"——Everyone, salute these brave people!"

"Bang!"

At some point, Horn, who had already stopped crying, still shouted in a tearful voice to all the soldiers present who could hear her. She first saluted towards the big screen of the movie in the most standard manner.

As the horn sounded, countless Victorian soldiers and local civilians from the resistance followed the horn's instructions and saluted every brave soul in the movie with what they considered to be the most standard posture.

Even though some of them had their arms and legs broken by the explosion, and some civilians even raised their hands too high when they saluted, they still paid tribute to these great souls in their own way.

Among them, even some Sarkaz were moved and paid tribute in the Sarkaz way.

This time, even the Blood Demon Lord did not express anything inappropriate because of his noble status and thought he was above other lives. On the contrary, although the Blood Demon Lord himself did not believe in noble things, he never denied noble ideals.

As the Lord of Blood Demons, he slowly stood up and placed his hand on his heart, wishing good luck to this weak but tenacious and moving life, which was about to meet its end.

"Death is everyone's destiny. The Sarkaz gain strength from death, but they will not deny the meaning of the existence of the living."

"He has completed his mission, his duty, and his life was full of bravery." The Blood Demon Lord murmured to himself lightly. Although he recovered quickly, for the Blood Demon Lord, a moment of sadness was extremely rare for an immortal like him.

Among them, a Sarkaz quietly left the scene, and Horn also noticed it - that was the Sarkaz who buried her comrade "Triangle".

"where are you going?"

"...I always feel that the grave I made for that person is too simple. While I still remember it and the place hasn't been blown up, I'll see if I can make a bigger one to collect the bodies of these people."

Sarkaz left the scene without even looking back, but after a moment of silence, Horn said calmly:

"I'll go too."

"casual."

However, with the departure of Horn and the Sarkaz, gradually, more and more soldiers began to follow Horn's actions. They did not speak, but just dispersed in silence to collect the bodies of those who died in this war.
