Chapter 1437: Self-Blame

~3 min read 450 words

That's right; our very lives no longer belong to us. Since that is so, we might as well sacrifice our lives to ensure the safety of everyone!

That's right!

For everyone, for the continent, what does death matter!

After hearing everyone's words, Li Yue took another deep breath.

A thousand words were now beyond his ability to speak.

At this very moment, he could only give everyone a promise: "Everyone, rest assured; I will certainly not fail your expectations." After his voice fell, Li Yue slowly rose to his feet from the ground.

Then he walked out.

Following that, these wounded soldiers looked at one another.

Before long, a nearby soldier brought out a pot of wine and handed it to them; the wine had already been mixed with poison.

This wine was specifically for those soldiers to drink.

Gazing at this pot of wine, several heavily wounded soldiers could not help but smile bitterly and shake their heads.

"Truly unexpected that we would depart in this manner at the end. Brothers, I am leaving first; in the next life, we shall be brothers again." Saying this, he raised his hand, took a large gulp of the wine from the pot, and then passed it to another person.

Immediately, that wounded soldier closed his eyes and waited for death to descend.

And the wounded soldiers around him did the same.

"I am leaving first as well. I will wait for everyone on the road to the Yellow Springs." Saying this, another wounded soldier drank the wine down.

Then he chose a comfortable posture and lay down properly.

One, two, three; the rest all lay down in turn, waiting for death to descend.

Outside the door, Li Yue heard the cries coming from within, his fists clenched tightly.

Although Li Yue felt deep sorrow and deep self-reproach in his heart.

Yet, all of this could not be blamed on him; after all, this was the best way to reduce casualties.

If anyone is to blame, it can only be those demons!

If it were not for those demons, the situation now would absolutely not be as it is now.

And all of this was caused by those demons.

Thinking of this, Li Yue clenched his teeth tightly, so much so that the sound of grinding could be heard clearly.

And his clenched fists, at this very moment, had veins bulging; his fingernails dug deeply into the flesh and blood, and blood, in turn, flowed out, dripping drop by drop, falling to the ground and forming a pool of bloodstains.

Yet, all of this brought Li Yue not the slightest sensation of pain; what he felt was nothing but anger and resentment.
