God of Pets

Chapter 539 Don't let kindness ruin you
With Chen Guan's actions, there's definitely no chance of a surprise attack.

The demon patrol team consisted of only a dozen or so people, and they were all relatively weak cultivators at the fourth and fifth levels of enlightenment. Yet, they fought against Chen Guan and his group of over three hundred people with unwavering courage and fearlessness.

Despite such a significant advantage, some people still sustained minor injuries before all the demon patrol soldiers were killed.

They won, but morale plummeted.

If it's already this difficult to deal with patrolling soldiers, the outcome against the demons' regular army is predictable.

"Do you know why you, with higher levels and more people than them, won so miserably?" Chen Guan's gaze swept across everyone's faces, his voice icy cold.

"Because the demons are too ferocious...they are fearless and undaunted..." someone muttered quietly.

"Yes, the demons are too ferocious; they are fearless and undaunted. And what about you? You're just cowards and weaklings; you're afraid of dying, aren't you?" Chen Guan mocked.

The soldiers glared fiercely at Chen Guan. What right did he, an outsider, have to call them cowards and weaklings? What did he know?
They were people who fought their way out of tens of thousands of demons. Now, knowing they would die, they still want to go back and kill demons. If they were afraid of death, why would they do this?

The crowd was immediately outraged, and Nan Zilan also felt that Chen Guan's words had gone too far.

“No, of course you are not cowards or weaklings, of course you are not afraid of death. If you were cowards or weaklings, you wouldn’t be standing here now. If you were afraid of death, you should be enjoying yourself in Taishan City right now, instead of risking your lives here.” Chen Guan’s words silenced the agitated soldiers.

"Then why did you appear so weak when facing the demon? It's not because the demon was too strong, nor because you were too weak, but because you were too kind."

Chen Guan sighed and said, "Because you are human, you have humanity, so you are kind, so you are merciful. Even when facing vicious beasts like demons, you always retain a bottom line of kindness in your hearts."

"But demons are not human; they are beasts, disgusting worms. They have no humanity. They treat evil with kindness, repay evil with good, and show mercy to their enemies. That is your greatest weakness."

"The reason why demons are so terrifying is because they are beasts. They have no humanity. You shouldn't talk about humanity with a beast, nor should you reserve kindness and mercy for your enemies."

"Think of the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians who died in Tianyang City, think of your parents, think of your wives and children, think of your friends and comrades-in-arms. Your mercy to the enemy is the greatest cruelty to them."

“Promise me that in the battle to come, you will cast aside your mercy and abandon your humanity. You don’t need that for a bunch of beasts, a bunch of disgusting parasites.”

"As long as you stop showing mercy to the demons, then the demons are nothing at all. You will be more terrifying and horrible than the demons, because you are inherently strong. It is your kindness that makes the enemy mistake you for weaklings and cowards..."

Using the spirit of cheerleaders, Chen Guan delivered a passionate speech that successfully moved the already fervent soldiers.

“Yes, it’s because we have humanity that we’re not as reckless as demons…” Suddenly, they felt that demons weren’t so scary after all.

"Promise me, reserve your kindness for your loved ones, and your cruelty for the demons. Stop causing pain to your loved ones and joy to your enemies. Join me in killing those beasts and crushing those disgusting worms..." Chen Guan pressed his advantage, leading his blood-boiling, murderous team straight towards Tianyang City.

Chen Guan's plan was simple: the demons of Tianyang City already knew that someone had invaded.

But so what? As long as they are fast enough, they will still be difficult for those demons to defend against.

On the way to Tianyang City, there were several checkpoints, each garrisoned by demon troops. If they could be defeated quickly, causing them to misjudge the situation, a surprise attack would still be possible. Chen Guan led his troops in a frenzied slaughter, the spirit of the cheerleaders constantly inspiring the soldiers, gradually bringing out their ferocity.

At first, encountering even a dozen or so patrolmen would result in injuries, but later, a single charge could dismantle the demon patrol team. The team's combat effectiveness and cohesion were rapidly increasing.

Nan Zilan knew that Chen Guan was trying to boost the team's morale, but he felt that this was not a safe approach.

Morale is a fickle thing; it declines with each attack, eventually exhausting itself. Even when fighting patrols, you need to motivate them in this way. But their morale will only drop lower and lower, and when they encounter a real demon army, they will probably be routed in one blow.

Nan Zilan was very worried, but now he felt that things were getting out of control. In just half a day, he felt that Chen Guan seemed to be about to truly become the leader of this team.

When they arrived at the first obstacle set up by the demon, Nan Zilan's worries reached their peak.

This checkpoint is guarded by four hundred regular demon soldiers, who are outnumbered. After the previous rush and fighting, the soldiers seem to be starting to retreat.

"I will help you break the formation." Bai Xiuyan prepared to go into battle. He knew that it would be difficult for the human army to defeat the demon army when the numbers were not too different. He had to eliminate the strongest members of the demon army first to reduce the casualties of his own army.

“You are our ace, but now is not the time for you to shine. Leave it to us and watch how we slaughter these beasts. A few hundred worms are nothing; we can crush them with a flick of our fingers.” Chen Guan looked at the soldiers behind him: “Remember, don’t let your kindness harm yourselves and your comrades. Leave your cruelty to the enemy and kill them all.”

"Kill them all!" As Fujina Rei used mental communication to issue the same command, all the soldiers shouted in unison.

"Charge!" Chen Guan gave the final battle order.

More than three hundred riders charged toward the demon's pass like wolves and tigers. They were not afraid of death, so what else could they be afraid of?
If the demons are powerful, then they must be even more powerful than the demons.

If demons are cruel, then they are even more cruel than demons.

These three hundred-plus riders exuded an increasingly powerful aura. After setting aside some things, their abilities also began to grow stronger. Even their pets, which were usually difficult to command, now seemed to become like their fingers, allowing them to be commanded naturally and effortlessly without any calculations.

The demon captain guarding the pass couldn't help but let out a cold laugh when he saw that only a few hundred human riders dared to charge through the pass.

"Go out and kill them all." The demon captain was very confident and chose to go out and fight instead of guarding the pass.

In a battle between armies of equal numbers, the Demon has an absolute advantage and has nothing to worry about.

But when the demon rushed out and made contact with Chen Guan's army, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

These three hundred-plus human soldiers were completely different from any human soldiers they had ever seen before; they were ferocious and even more savage than demons.

What's even more terrifying is that their combat prowess and ability to control pets seem to rival the most elite pet army of the demons.
