The Warrior of Love

"What! What are you doing! I am not wrong! Do you want to kill people and silence them?!"

The man struggled frantically, causing the crowd to riot again.

But Lu Xiu had no intention of letting him go. She turned on the loudspeaker and asked him in a voice that everyone in the audience could hear.

"Citizen, we have already explained the problem of the Anti-Spirals and Miss Nia. President Simon is the biggest victim in this matter and a war hero. He protected the city. Do you have any questions?"

"That's what you said, I don't believe it!"

"Why don't you believe it? Do you have any evidence?"

"I, I...you must be hiding the truth anyway!"

"Ah……"

Lu Xiu rarely showed a mocking expression: "Why do you want to hide the truth?

If President Simon really wants to destroy this city, can the gun in your hand stop him?"

"I……"

"You are just a stupid and self-righteous criminal, soldiers, lock him up!"

Chapter 1170: Sword and Scabbard, Heroes and People

Public opinion is very important. Lu Xiu knows very well what the foundation of a country is, but he also understands the damage that out-of-control public opinion can cause.

Looking at the people with different expressions, the black-haired young man sighed deeply in his heart, but there was no extra emotion fluctuation on his face.

He knew that even if the attackers were caught, it would not be possible to dispel the people's distrust of the top leaders. But if Simon was handed over to the angry people just because of this march... that would be truly stupid behavior.

How could anyone destroy the Great Wall before a war?

Furthermore, Simon is indeed innocent. Not only is he innocent, but he has also made meritorious contributions. If he is imprisoned so indiscriminately, then even if he obeys the "collective", it is definitely not justice.

"Once, someone discussed a problem with me."

Lu Xiu said loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

“At that time, I had just come out of the village… Everyone has experienced those days, and everyone should know how difficult it is to live in the underground world. My hometown is such a place, and it is even poorer than most villages. It can be said that there is nothing.

In order to ensure the continuation of the village, we sacrificed many people even though we knew it was wrong... In order not to feel guilty, we used religion to comfort ourselves.

Pushing all the guilt onto the so-called "God", it seems that as long as God takes on the "evil", we will be innocent.

But what about the reality?

This is nothing but self-deception, and a very bad lie at that, because not only do we sacrifice others to protect ourselves, we even deliberately forget that they exist!"

Lu Xiu took a deep breath, finally calmed down, and continued in a deep voice.

“So, when I first came to the surface, I was very confused, and I asked that person, is it wrong to sacrifice the individual or the minority for the sake of the majority?

He said that the problem is not the number of victims, the real problem is that we chose to evade and shirk responsibility!

When you sacrifice others, you must realize that one day you will be sacrificed for the same reason!

Now, you are putting the blame on the Great Red Lotus Group. Perhaps if you lock them all up, you can pretend nothing happened and continue to live with your heads down.

But the Anti-Spirals will still come!

When one day they descend from the sky again, who will you choose to take on this responsibility?

Who else will be pushed out to be sacrificed?"

The people were speechless. The man who shot Simon suddenly became uneasy, like a thief under the spotlight.

After saying that, Lu Xiu stretched out her hand and directed everyone's attention to Simon.

"Do you know him?"

Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment no one responded to this extremely simple question.

“I know him, his name is Simon, he was one of the first heroes to muster the courage to stand up against the orcs.

He and his companions faced the most powerful enemy when humanity was at its weakest, and never ran away!

There is also Ketang over there, and former President Kamina who left us... These people may be rude and uneducated, and they are not suitable for doing business or being nobles. They are good for nothing except fighting, and are simply trash in a peaceful society."

The more Lu Xiu spoke, the more fluent she became, as if she had been dissatisfied for a long time and took the opportunity to vent.

But Tang and the others turned green...

"but!"

Lu Xiu changed the subject and pointed at the people in the Great Red Lotus Group and said, "If it weren't for this group of good-for-nothing idiots, we still wouldn't know what the sun and the sky are!

They may be behind the times and may no longer be so admirable, but no one can erase their contributions to mankind!

...But why are you so angry?

Who is it that hurts you? Who is it that protects you? Why do you direct your anger at the one who protects you? "

The crowd started to stir again, but this time no one instigated protest. Instead, they all looked embarrassed and seemed to want to escape.

They may not realize the mistakes they have made, but they have understood that today, in this place, they are destined to serve as clowns to set off certain people.

"call……"

Lu Xiu sighed slowly, waited for the people to calm down, looked at the confused members of the Big Red Lotus Group, and for a moment she actually wanted to laugh.

“It’s still that person… He really taught me a lot, and he made me understand that heroes are not omnipotent.

At that time, I said that I admired heroes like Kamina and Simon who could fight by piloting a face, and I envied them for being so powerful.

But he told me that heroes seem powerful, but sometimes they are also fragile.

Everyone knows that heroes exist to save people, but most people don’t think about this question:

The people are protected by heroes, but who can protect the heroes?"

Lu Xiu recalled some things from the past, a look of nostalgia appeared in her eyes, and then she straightened her chest.

“The answer is ‘you guys’!

Only you, only the people, can protect the heroes!

No matter how sharp a sword is, it will eventually become dull or even break. No matter how powerful a warrior is, he is still made of flesh and blood.

No matter how strong the heroes are, beneath their powerful appearance they are just like us, with a heart that needs recognition and warmth.

To them, we are the scabbards, shields, and armor that protect them!

Heroes without the support of the people are fragile!

From that time on, I gave up the idea of ​​becoming a fighter... because I knew I was not someone who could become a 'Blade'.

However, I can be the 'sheath' that protects the blades, so that they can always stay sharp!"

Finally, Lu Xiu said to the crowd with great sincerity: "Citizens, I know you have suffered great losses and even lost your loved ones, but especially at times like this, we must unite and support the heroes who protect us!

I, Lu Xiu, Chief of Staff of the Human Alliance, ask everyone here to let us become their backers and strength! "

-

"What a great speech! I didn't know you had that talent."

After the crowd dispersed, Long found Lu Xiu, who was sweating profusely and replenishing water.

"It makes my heart beat faster than before."

"Talent? I don't have that kind of talent... I just repeated what others told me.

Moreover, the people have only been temporarily appeased. If we want to unite, it is not enough to just give a speech. We must also formulate a detailed and feasible plan...

I don’t know if that person had anticipated today’s situation.”

"You are talking about Jiang Liu, right?"

Simon also came over. Compared to the depressed look he had when he was accused before, there was now a glimmer of hope in his eyes again.

"Those words are very much his style."

"Yes, it was Mr. Jiang Liu who made me what I am today... I am really grateful to him."

Lu Xiu looked up at the vast starry sky.

"I just don't know where he is now..."

Chapter 1171: New Force

"Damn, how many of these things are there!"

"Don't be careless, don't be alone, it will be troublesome if you are surrounded!"

Boom!

There was a huge explosion, and the dazzling flames made people gasp.

"Keep your distance, these guys will get close and explode!"

"It's really getting more and more troublesome..."

Above a newly built city, a large group of Faces belonging to the Human Union are fighting with Faceless creatures, which are twice their number.

Compared to the previous battles, Long's technical department has now developed a method to use a special position to restrain Wuyan and prevent him from self-destructing. In this way, everyone will not be so restrained when fighting, and can go all out.

However, even so, Wuyan still had the upper hand in firepower and numbers, causing headaches for the warriors of the Great Red Lotus Group.

After finally getting rid of this group of guys, they received news that a small town somewhere else was attacked, causing the tired soldiers to wail.

But this time it was okay. Simon, who stayed at the headquarters, drove the Crimson Spiral directly to provide support and resolved the battle before the soldiers arrived there.

"There's no end to this!"

In the headquarters' conference room, Ke Tang, the commander of the front-line troops, said directly: "It's only been a week, and everyone is already exhausted. There are still two weeks left... By then, let alone the moon, everyone will be exhausted to death."

"Is this also the strategy of the Anti-Spiral Clan?"

Long speculated: "It keeps draining our energy, leaving us no time to think about how to deal with the moonset?"

"If this is true, then we have to say they succeeded."

Lu Xiu held the statistical report with a heartbroken expression on her face.

“In recent days, Wu Yan’s attacks have caused heavy losses in various places, and the speed of shipbuilding has been greatly delayed. If this continues, we will not be able to catch up.

In addition, people are increasingly dissatisfied and social order is close to collapse.”

"What should we do?" Dayak knew nothing about this kind of thing and could only hope that smart people like Long and Luxiu could come up with a solution.

"I have no idea."

Lu Xiu shook her head: "The enemy has taken the absolute initiative, we are afraid..."

"No, there is another way."

At this moment, Simon suddenly opened his mouth, and what he said was shocking.

"In the final analysis, there are too few people, so we just need to ask others to help."

"Ugh?"

Lu Xiu was stunned for a moment and shook her head subconsciously.

"All available manpower has been used. There is really no extra manpower. Even if we temporarily recruit civilians... if they don't have the relevant technical skills, even if we gather enough people, it will only cause trouble."

"Who said we were going to recruit civilians?"

Simon smiled once in a rare moment these days: "Don't we have a group of people who are equally good at fighting and have too much time and energy to vent?"

"Where can we find them... Mr. President, are you talking about 'them'?" Lu Xiu thought of something and her expression suddenly changed.

"But they may not be willing to cooperate with us, right?"

"At this point, I don't think they have any reason to refuse."

"Yes..." Lu Xiu still shook her head, "I think the risk is a bit high."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Ke Tang looked at the two of them in confusion. "If you have a solution, just bring it up earlier. Don't make me anxious here."

"I guess what Simon is talking about are orcs." Long said calmly.

"Orc?!"
