Chapter 770 Taking Root
"What are we fighting for?"

In this noisy environment, this light sentence was like thunder in the ears, causing all the soldiers and officers around who heard it to stop what they were doing and stand still in a daze.

Before this war started.

This problem has always troubled them.

However, no officer or soldier made this clear to them, and all the soldiers and officers could only fight mechanically according to orders. Fortunately, the enemy was civilians, and even if they were wielding weapons mechanically, they could temporarily resist the impact of civilians with their own abilities.

But the war has come to this point and it's time to face reality.

"commander,"

"Please tell me,"

"What are we fighting for?"

"Will my death be a glory or a shame?"

Once again, the dying soldier repeated the words and added a question.

This time the voice was even deeper, and sounded like he had no strength left. And these words seemed to have drained away his last bit of strength. The hand that had been raised high as if trying to grasp hope dropped down.

There was no doubt that he was going to die.

Before he died, he just wanted to know why he had fought until now, and whether his death would be glorious or shameful.

But this question is bound to be impossible to answer.

Because everyone knows that this is not a glorious battle, they are sinners, sinners of humanity.

After this war, no matter whether the Holy Dragon Nation wins or the rebels win, no one will regard them as heroes, because the sub-dragons cannot truly treat humans equally, let alone give glory to humans. If the human side wins, their names are destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame, because -

They are traitors to humanity.

The soldier's strength was no longer able to overcome gravity.

The right hand that wanted to grasp hope was about to fall under the feet of gravity...

At this time, a feeling of grief for the loss of the rabbit began to spread. The surrounding soldiers lowered their heads, their eyes filled with sadness and confusion. Are they really just puppets used in war?
After today.

Are they really going to become sinners of humanity?
"Soldier, remember!"

The front-line commander grabbed the soldier's slowly drooping right hand. At this moment, gravity could no longer pull that blood-stained hand into hell.

The commander at the front looked into the soldier's completely dilated eyes, and his unwavering voice echoed: "Soldier! I, Inodington Shernin, answer you as the human race. You fight for humanity, and you die with glory!"

The words fell.

All the soldiers and officers present suddenly raised their heads and fixed their eyes on the front-line commander.

They are waiting...

Waiting for the next words from the front commander, Inodington Shernin.

"soldiers!"

Inodington Shernin raised the cross sword that symbolized glory again: "Let me tell you! We fight for humanity, and we die with honor! We are not the running dogs of the Asian dragon race or traitors to humanity. We are humans, as the name suggests!"

The sword tip changed direction and pointed backwards.

Inodington Shernin shouted angrily: "Soldiers! It's time to fight for humanity. The glory belongs to us."

Stand out.

Finally, a senior military officer stood up. They had been waiting for too long.

This senior officer no longer believed in the equal treaty of the sub-dragon race, nor did he obey the sub-dragon race's orders. They gave up fighting against the dragon-slaying organization and turned their spearhead towards the sub-dragon race.

Be consistent in what you say and what you do.

All they needed was a pioneer like this to lead them in their rebellion against the dragon race.

One call and a hundred responses.

When a high-ranking officer stood up and launched a rebellion against the dragon race, others would naturally follow suit. They no longer wanted to fight with civilians, they wanted to hold high the banner of justice and fight for honor and humanity.

Just as you are not an ant, you cannot understand the psychology of an ant.

Augustus, who treated humans as ants and did not treat them equally psychologically, never thought that the human army would suddenly rebel against him.

Perhaps in Augustus's mind.

The sub-dragon species are able to offer humans an equal treaty and guarantee humans' basic human rights. Humans should be grateful and offer their loyalty and lives to the sub-dragon species.

Now you tell him that the human army has rebelled?

"These greedy humans."

Augustus's face was filled with anger and disgust.

He had received news that 2/3 of the human troops under his command had rebelled and were attacking the headquarters with the rebels. If he did not leave now, his life would be in danger.

in other words.

He has already lost this war.

He basically had no soldiers left in this city.

The reason why Augustus lost this battle was that he had no understanding of the psychology of human beings. At the same time, he placed his own identity and superiority as a sub-dragon species in the highest position, which exacerbated the collapse of the army.

It can be said.

If Augustus was commanding a dragon army this time, then Vega had already lost.

In other words, it is impossible for Vega to organize any rebel army because it is meaningless.

Once Vega sneaks into the city and organizes a rebel army, using guerrilla warfare to fight against the dragon army, the dragons may be so angry that they will directly carry out the cruel act of massacring the city, repeating the tragedy of the Kingdom's Bauhinia City in the last time in Gasiri City.

It's a pity that Augustus used human troops.

Then the ending is already determined.

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, Augustus fled from the city of Gasili under the protection of the Holy Dragon Envoy.

After all, the city of Gasili is just the first stop in the fight against the Jialan Army.

He had also been mentally prepared for the fall of Gasili City and the annihilation of his entire army.

But the current situation is not quite what he imagined.

In his imagination, there should be a fierce battle between the Holy Dragon Army and the Jialan Army, and finally the Jialan Army would take over the city of Gashili at an extremely heavy price, instead of being defeated by an unknown person like this.

And because the Jialan army has arrived.

Although Augustus who escaped was not killed directly, the total number of people who escaped was less than a hundred, which could be said to be a complete defeat, which made him feel even more unwilling.

But he also accepted reality.

Next, he planned to retreat to Shenglong City, relying on Shenglong Kingdom, the most solid point in the eastern territory, to weaken the power of the Jialan Army. Shenglong City was not like the vanguard troops in Gasili City. The real main force of this Eastern War was stored here.

Make use of this main force of more than 700,000 humans.

Augustus vowed to fight a real war with Vega that would be detrimental to both sides and weaken the military power of the Galan Empire.

And based on Augustus' departure.

Eventually, Vega's rebels took control of the city of Gasiri and also incorporated nearly 200,000 Holy Dragon Army soldiers.

through this battle.

Vega finally confirmed that his strategic plan for this trip to the Holy Dragon Kingdom was not wrong.

Fighting poison with poison, this was the strategy Vega came up with last time.

If the sub-dragon species tried to use humans to fight against humans, then he would use the racial conflicts between humans and sub-dragon species to counter the sub-dragon species, truly achieving the goal of winning without bloodshed.
