Chapter 1776: Tens of millions and dozens of lives
In every era, people like these 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 with contempt.
If nothing happens on weekdays, they will ignore you. If they are in a good mood, they may give you a smile, or they may give you something that is enough to let them embark on the path of cultivating immortals... But for cultivators, it is already something that they look down upon.
Once you are in a bad mood, even if it is not the fault of these civilians, you can just kill them to vent your anger.
For these people, the lives of ordinary people do not matter at all.
As it is now.
Let these villagers be used as suicide bombs, even defenseless women and children.
The appearance of Ning Chenxin undoubtedly gave these villagers some reassurance.
Hearing this, the ten generals and armored cavalrymen all cast their surprised gazes on Ning Chenxin.
"Who are you? Dare to interfere in the affairs of our court?!"
Ning Chenxin said calmly: "It doesn't matter who I am. I live here, and the villagers feed me, drink me, and entertain me enthusiastically, so I can't ignore it."
"Oh, based on you?" The leading man in armor sneered coldly and said: "With their mortal bodies, they can delay the enemy for some time and gain an opportunity for our country to return to defense. Let them do this kind of thing to honor our ancestors. What a great honor!”
Ning Chen frowned, it was this attitude of treating people's lives as trivial that made him feel very uncomfortable.
The point is, it happens basically everywhere.
Behind him, another soldier spread his hands and said with a sarcastic smile: "No wonder they only have such value."
When the villagers heard this, they could only clenched their fists in anger but dared not speak...
Ning Chenxin raised his head and looked at the ten soldiers, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "If you don't have strength, isn't it just a human life? They just don't have access to these conditions, but they work every day and don't steal, rob or kill. You are so despised and even despised by people like you who are content and happy doing your duty?”
The ten soldiers were stunned when they heard this.
It wasn't because of Ning Chenxin's words that he felt guilty, nor did he have any conscience to notice.
He was just shocked and unbelievable by Ning Chenxin's words.
Such remarks have never appeared in their subconscious, and they have never considered it.
They just believe that these villagers have no strength. Since they live within their national borders, they must contribute to them, even if they pay for it with their lives.
This will not cause any losses to their dynasty, but it can also delay the opponent for some time and cause the opponent to lose some combat power.
Why not do this kind of business where you can make a profit without losing money?
That's right... In this case, the lives of ordinary people will definitely not be counted among the losses.
After the shock.
The soldiers behind him snorted: "He is really a madman, don't say anything more to him, just kill him!"
Finished.
This person took the lead and jumped up from his horse, charging towards Ning Chenxin!
"careful!"
When the villagers saw this, their pupils shrank slightly and they couldn't help but remind them.
Ning Chen sighed slightly, took out a book from the basket behind his back, opened it, and shouted softly: "Zhen."
A gentle word.
The space around the soldier began to distort crazily.
At the same time, the soldier's forward figure also suddenly stopped, and then fell violently, and his whole body hit the ground heavily, making a roar!
As if the sky was falling, the soldiers' faces were firmly pressed to the ground, looking a little distorted.
Seeing this harmless and elegant scholar, he just said one word and beat him until he was unable to fight back.
The other soldiers were also shocked.
Seeing this, another soldier sent a message to the leading soldier and asked: "Commander, shall we attack together?"
The commander shook his head, his expression under the helmet looked solemn, and said: "He is not an opponent... I can't see through his strength."
The soldiers were all shocked!
The commander took a deep breath, took a few steps before riding the horse, looked at Ning Chen and said, "No matter who you are, this is my court's business. I'm afraid you went too far by taking action?"
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 Your Excellency cherishes human life so much, then the people in the city behind this village are not human lives?"
The commander continued: "The rear city is an extremely important defense hub for our country. If this city is breached, it means that cities thousands of miles around this city will suffer! The lives of tens of millions of people Isn’t it life?”
Ning Chenxin frowned and said, "What you said can be reversed just by the sacrifice of these villagers?"
"It is true that it cannot be reversed." The commander shook his head: "But their sacrifice is enough for me to defend against the soldiers, so that at least they will not be breached."
"It is more likely that the city can be defended because of their sacrifice, and tens of millions of people can be saved from disaster."
The commander stared closely at Ning Chenxin, took a few steps forward, and said step by step: "If your Excellency values human lives so much, then these dozens of weak villagers are at risk of tens of millions of lives being sacrificed by me." It should be clear at a glance which one is more important."
Hear this.
Ning Chenxin also smiled bitterly in his heart.
Although this kind of thing is not unforeseen.
Even Master told him similar things before and asked him how he should handle 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 weight of tens of millions of lives is more important than that of dozens of lives.
But...
Can human lives be compared?
Whose life is not a life?
But what if this really caused the other party's city to fall and tens of millions of lives to be buried?
Ning Chenxin remembered what his master said.
This kind of thing cannot be avoided or eradicated, and it appears in various worlds all the time.
If you want to solve it, you can only rely on strength to suppress it...
Although it is essentially the same as others pursuing strength, it is not shameful. Without the deterrence of strength, simple persuasion is useless.
Thinking of this.
Ning Chenxin raised his head and looked at the commander, saying: "I will help you garrison the city."
The commander was stunned.
Obviously, he didn't expect to get such an answer.
But...
As soon as these words came out.
Ning Chenxin's figure was forcibly dragged into the sky!
In front of him, an invisible shadow said: "Okay, you have made your choice, and then watch it."
The following sentence is exactly the same as what the master said at the beginning.
It is also the follow-up of what the master said just now.
"But there will be a time when your strength is not yet reached, and you have to give up one side and can't do anything. At this time, how should you deal with it..."
