Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"If you hold the moral principles in your hands, you can direct your selfish side towards others."

"Because they themselves can't feel the pain, and they are not being asked to take the blame...When it doesn't concern them, anyone can make a rational and practical judgment; but once it involves their own life and death, most people will easily become hysterical, ignorant and stubborn, and even fall into a pit that they already know is a trap."

"Guess what... Bai Yujing, who is still a hero at the moment, will become like that? A coward, a coward, a sinner who has committed countless crimes, or..."

"What kind of pressure will he face? Can he continue to guard the capital?"

"Besides, Bai Yujing has no way out. He can either fight or endure... but he can't escape."

"Because he is still a Daxia person at heart. His relatives and friends are all in Daxia. How could he possibly leave?"

"Even if he really withstood all the pressure and held on to the end, he would not show up."

"Daxia will also fall into internal friction. With public opinion surging, how can we unite as one to resist foreign enemies?"

"The final result..."

"Either I fight all the way to the Forbidden City, or he shows up early and I kill him."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will take three months at the fastest and eight months at the slowest."

Tai Sui paused here and looked towards the direction of the capital.

"The path has been chosen for you. Now it's up to you to choose..."

"But I still hope that you can directly choose to fight me on the battlefield, instead of hiding behind like a turtle and being caught by me!"

Standing with his hands behind his back, Tai Sui suddenly had a feeling of looking far into the distance from a high place, and felt that it was lonely at the top... Being invincible in the world is a lonely thing. What he likes most is to meet a worthy opponent, but what he fears most is also to meet a worthy opponent.

The current situation gives us a great chance of winning, as the enemy is strong and we are even stronger, so it is just right and we can make our moves calmly and advance step by step.

"You, Bai Yujing, are also one of my greatest enemies in this life."

"It has repeatedly ruined my good deeds, but it has also made me successful."

"If it weren't for your existence, forcing me to take a risky move... I would have found it difficult to make up my mind to kill Luohou."

Tai Sui whispered secretly.

"so……"

"You should also die standing on the battlefield like Luohou!"

Chapter 917: Golden drums heard outside the capital, farewell at the Lantern Festival

The war has begun.

It started quietly.

It came before everyone noticed it, and by the time people realized it, the flames of war had already begun to burn fiercely, stretching and spreading...

Daxia is a powerful country in the world and theoretically is not afraid of war.

However, the countries in this world have too superficial an understanding of war. The foundation of their civilization development does not come from protracted wars, but from the gifts of heroic bloodlines and the knowledge and technology from other worlds.

They themselves did not have a deep enough understanding of war, but they had to face an almost undefeatable enemy.

The target of the war that Daxia has to face is not a country, but the history of the entire world, the endless shadows that are coming like a tide, the Taiyin Demon Realm that is constantly swarming with large numbers of demons and strange monsters, and the Tai Sui who has killed the first person in a thousand years.

This is a war with no end in sight.

Even at the beginning of the war, when morale was high, all the soldiers and those who came to join the army believed that it would not be difficult to repel the attack from the Shadow World this time, because they had always been the victorious side for the past thousand years.

But this naive idea will be immediately abandoned after just one look at the front line.

Because the battlefield is cruel.

Even the battle-hardened Rock Army had never suffered such devastating losses, let alone experienced such a terrifying battlefield.

The people guarding the border had fought and killed themselves in the countless dark tides that emerged from the shadows, but those were just tides, and what appeared now were clearly tsunamis.

For ordinary soldiers, the sheer numbers are despairing, but as long as Fengsheng takes action, everything will be fine.

But even if Feng Sheng takes action, it does not mean that it is absolutely safe... Because of the existence of Tai Sui, he will not directly participate in the destruction of the battle line, but will focus on hunting down Feng Sheng.

Once a single or even two canonized saints show up to provide assistance, they will immediately be targeted by Tai Sui.

In just less than a month, three canonized saints were seriously injured one after another, and even Honglu, the third among the top ten, was almost dead.

In this regard, even Chen Buren, a military saint who had commanded troops for many years, had to adopt a contraction strategy and compress the front line.

The saints are the most scarce fighting force, but they cannot be allowed to travel alone, so they must form a team of three to act together.

This resulted in the defensible defense line being severely compressed.

At the same time, a large number of demons were causing destruction in the rear, causing panic among the people.

The Yama Division's day and night wandering gods, the Black and White Impermanence, and the judges were simply too busy to handle it... Without the black evil archers who acted in secret, even the Yama Division had not expected that the spread of the demon species would be so rapid. They did not care about exposing their identities at all, but were hatching new demon species at a very fast speed, transforming more people into fallen demons in order to create more chaos and panic.

Since the war began, in just one month, Daxia has declined visibly.

The original territory could not be maintained. As the front line continued to shrink, large areas became sinking zones and were swallowed by the shadow.

Many cities even became ghost towns, and large numbers of people had to migrate to central cities for refuge.

But Daxia is a big country with a population of nearly one billion. How could these actions be easy?

At present, only one or two provinces have been lost. The south is still safe, but the area north of the Yellow River has completely become a military control area. All the people and civilians in the Yanyun area have migrated to the south in large numbers because it is destined to become a battlefield.

If the north cannot be defended, then if even a large city in the central and southern parts, where the largest populations are concentrated, falls, the casualties will be in the tens of millions.

Fortunately, the war has not yet reached here.

If the demons are in the central or even southern part, Daxia will definitely send people to help, which will lead to a longer battle line.

But in this war, the two sides have different goals.

In the eyes of the Destroyers, the key to destroying Daxia lies in the capital. As long as they capture the capital, kill all the saints, and wipe out all the living forces, the remaining central and southern parts will be nothing but a devastating massacre.

If one wanted to bleed Da Xia, the best way would naturally be to attack the central and southern parts… But neither Tai Sui nor the outer gods had enough patience, their goal was still to capture the capital, and they needed to do this within a year.

This is the margin that only the advantaged party has. Owning the Taiyin Demon Realm means having almost infinite military forces that can be drawn from the Shadow Realm, and being able to change strategic goals at any time.

One can imagine the difficulties and situation that Daxia is facing today.

What is even more difficult is that other countries are actually watching.

Even if Rome wanted to provide assistance, it was powerless and had no way of coming across the ocean. Not to mention the surrounding small vassal states, the few countries with national strength had no intention of joining the war and even tried to do some sneaky things.

In this situation, it would be an understatement to say that it is a crisis.

So what if it is the most powerful country in the world?

The opponent it faces is not a country or a civilization at all, and does not even have an entity.

The military camp was brightly lit.

Chen Bu Ren stood in front of the military sand table, unable to hide his fatigue. His complexion was not good, not only because of fatigue, but also because he was attacked by Tai Sui a few days ago. Although he survived, he was also left with hidden injuries.

It was all thanks to Master Huanglong who pulled him back from the brink of death.

He took a sip of wine…Originally, drinking was not allowed in the military camp, but he drank to relieve the pain.

When I was drunk, I read the sword with the light on, and I dreamed about the horn-blowing camp...

Chen couldn't bear to look at the red battlefield. There was confusion in his eyes, as well as a sense of disappointment as if he didn't know where the road ahead lay.

As a military saint, he was said to be a master in commanding troops. Ever since he took the top position in the military, the only thing on his mind was how to recapture the subsidence area and recover the country. He had been preparing for this for a very long time.

Chen couldn't bear to be without servants, a wife and offspring, so after sending his adoptive parents away he had no ties and never embarked on a military career.

I have come into this life just for this one thing, and now I am only one step away from completing it, with only the last tough challenge left to tackle, the Taiyin Demon Realm.

He thought that it would only take another three years to conquer this place, so that Daxia could truly become a prosperous country where all nations would come to pay tribute!

That was the unprecedented feat he vowed to accomplish for the person in the Zhonghu courtyard.

But once Rahu died, all the achievements he had made in the past were burned to ashes and ceased to exist.

Not only did he lose all the territories he had recovered in the past, he even failed to hold on to half of Yanyun.

The front line is less than a thousand miles away from the capital.

Chen couldn't bear to feel the deep mockery of fate. He sighed and was angry, but it was all meaningless.

He tried his best but couldn't find a solution.

The Military Sage also knew that the most crucial point was that no one could control Tai Sui… Once Luo Hou died, Tai Sui would be invincible in the world.

For now he can only try his best to maintain the front line.

But if this continues, the battle line will be pushed to the gates of the capital in five months at most!

This is the calculation result after filling in the number of human lives.

Within a month, the casualty rate of the Panyan Army reached a horrific level, and the entire country was mobilizing people to join the army.

The first batch of extraordinary people from universities across the country have also arrived at the front line.

Alas... the Patriotic War, this will wipe out an entire generation.

Just as Chen couldn't bear to think about how to delay more time, the tent was pushed open and a figure rushed in, disrupting his thinking, and slammed heavily on the table. The sound was fierce and harsh.

The person who came in was Hua Jianlei. Only Fengsheng would ignore Chen Buren’s military rules. She slapped a piece of paper heavily and said, “You know this?”

Chen couldn't bear to look down at the white letter paper. There was only a line of bright red font on it, as if it was written in blood.

"——Hand over Baiyujing and the war can be extended for three years."

Chen couldn't help but shudder: "Where did this come from?"

"front……"

"where?"

"It's everywhere." Hua Jianlei breathed heavily: "It's everywhere!"

Chen couldn't bear it and suddenly grabbed the white paper in his hand, and the paper turned into pieces: "Shameless!"

"Tai Sui knows that Bai Yujing is the only one who has a chance to kill him, so he uses this method to force Bai Yu to come out and fight him to the death in advance through propaganda warfare!" Hua Jianlei said hatefully, "Damn dog, he even resorted to overt and covert schemes!"

She glanced around and said, "Let the military committee do some ideological work for everyone and make the pros and cons clear to everyone!"

Chen couldn't help but said, "This won't be the last time. It may just be the first wave. The front line is the military camp. We can still hold it, but what about the rear?"

The flowers shed tears in silence.

The common people are not aware of this. Even if they were aware, who can guarantee that there aren’t any idiots among the hundreds of millions of people?

If some people really believed that handing over Bai Yu would lead to a three-year ceasefire or forcing him to fight would lead to a three-year ceasefire, it would easily trigger widespread public opinion. This kind of internal friction would be a drain on the national strength of today's Daxia.

When everyone is united and determined, once such internal friction occurs, the so-called unity of effort becomes a joke.

Regardless of whether this strategy can really force Bai Yu out, the moment it caused controversy, the strategy had already taken effect.

Although it will not cause widespread adverse effects at present, it is like a seed planted in advance, which will cause large-scale necrosis once it is spoken.

If the front line continues to retreat and the bad news continues, who can guarantee that it will not cause even worse impacts?

Rather...

The Daxia side had no way to deal with it.

It would be fine if they could stabilize the front and win the battle, but the current trend of consecutive defeats is not convincing at all.

When humans are in despair, they will grasp at any glimmer of hope at all costs, even if that hope is false, a trap, or a bait.

When she thought of this, Hua Jianlei felt a chill in her heart.

She wanted to be angry, but before she got angry, she felt powerless and weak.

As a martial saint, an existence superior to billions of people, she possesses the force to split mountains and seas, but she cannot resist the disaster of destroying a country, nor can she resist the evil in people's hearts.

Those are things that are beyond human reach.

Not even a saint can do that.

Hua Jianlei said dejectedly: "What should we do?"

"Block the news..."

“Can it be blocked?”

"What I mean is, don't let Bai Yujing know the news." Chen Bu Ren said in a deep voice: "Then, try to delay the time as much as possible."
