Chapter 599: Kindness Requires Vision! Attack Ancheng!

Su Yang sat on the city wall, looking at the bodies of civilians scattered across the ground, and murmured: "Peng Xiangming killed too many. There was really no need to kill so many!"

"No, Deputy Commander Peng did the right thing—the Western Army Corps should have done this long ago!" Liu Mengyun said, standing quietly behind Su Yang. "Through this battle, Deputy Commander Peng has set an example for other cities and Beast Tamer units. Only this way can we save more civilians."

Su Yang fell silent for a long while before saying: "You're right."

The more the Western Army Corps hesitates to strike ordinary believers, the more the Shoushen Sect will place civilians at the front lines!

If the army chooses to strike hard, the civilian believers will lose all usefulness.

The Shoushen Sect will no longer need them as shields.

Of course, this massacre might still not be enough!

It will take a few more strikes before the Shoushen Sect gives up.

"Still, it's a bit regrettable."

Su Yang jumped down from the city wall. The fate of Xicheng was settled.

The Shoushen Sect members and rioters inside the city were no match for Peng Xiangming.

The Shoushen Sect had not sent its main force to attack Xicheng.

After being attacked by Su Yang last time, their situation is probably terrible now!

"There's nothing regrettable about it. It was their choice—a foolish choice!" Liu Mengyun said coldly. "They chose to believe in the Shoushen Sect, chose to stand against the military—they must pay the price. You and Deputy Commander Peng have done your best."

"Mm."

"Major, kindness must have vision. Sacrificing a few lives to save the majority—that is true kindness," Liu Mengyun whispered. "Sacrificing these people allows more ordinary Shoushen Sect believers to live; sacrificing ordinary Shoushen Sect believers allows more civilians untouched by the sect to survive. Sometimes, we must make difficult choices."

"I understand."

At this, Liu Mengyun fell silent.

To say more would surely annoy others.

Su Yang returned to the guesthouse room and retrieved his mission reward.

He had not yet claimed the reward for defeating the Shoushen Sect's elite squad and killing their elder, Ning Jiancheng.

King of Aerial Combat!

Without hesitation, Su Yang granted this talent to Stormhawk.

Su Yang had many flying familiars: Seven-Colored Illusionary Butterfly, Void Wandering Spirit, Explosive Yan Mo—all could fly.

But their flight capabilities? Not worth mentioning.

"Ding~ Your familiar Stormhawk has gained a Grade Low-Grade talent—King of Aerial Combat."

King of Aerial Combat: When this familiar is in flight, slightly increase its flight speed, slightly enhance its aerial combat ability, slightly improve its agility and evasion, slightly boost its energy and stamina recovery rate and defense, and slightly enhance the effect of all its skills.

Seeing this talent description, what could Su Yang say?

Almost a complete overhaul!

It was worth risking his life for this Grade Low-Grade talent!

One day passed, quelling the chaos in Xicheng.

The next day, Peng Xiangming led his unit toward Ancheng.

Su Yang naturally chose to accompany them.

Ancheng was no longer safe.

As soon as they arrived outside Ancheng, Su Yang and the others saw countless civilians kneeling densely along the city walls.

Those civilians, ragged and filthy, wore expressions of eerie devotion, silently reciting scriptures.

A Shoushen Sect bishop stood atop the wall, wearing a smug smile.

Same old trick.

The Shoushen Sect had no new ideas.

Without Peng Xiangming's actions yesterday, the emergency squads might have struggled.

But now, things were different.
