Chapter 396 Chapter 390·"——I love you."

Su Mingan saw the other side of the river.

In places far apart, there is a flow of people running through the streets and alleys.

They have students in coarse clothes, gray-haired old people, laborers carrying poles, and women with children in their arms.

Their shriveled, sallow faces and their cloudy eyes were full of awe and fear.

... That is the awe of Su Rin and the soul hunters who dared to climb the city wall, dared to leave the barrier, and went to the most dangerous area.And the fear that the squad might fail, the enchantment might fail to build, they might be displaced, or even die.

He even saw the snow-sweeping woman who scolded him at the door of the house, and she was looking here with dull eyes, holding a piece of naan bread in her hand.

Su Mingan withdrew his distant gaze.

He straightened the loudspeaker on the side of his face, and his voice was loud and clear:

"Dwellers who set foot on this wall, I think you have heard my name," said he:
"I'm Su Lin."

The people who bowed their heads to work in the fields straightened up, and the old people who leaned on the rocking chairs opened their eyes.

They looked to the south and saw... the dazzling enchantment that was enough to widen the entire pale sky, and also saw the figure that seemed to be covered with a layer of light under the azure sea monster.

"Residents of Praia." Su Mingan said loudly:
"—I love you all."

On the high city wall, he opened his arms, and the blue sea monster behind him was like a violently rising flame, illuminating his figure clearly.

Some old people narrowed their eyes.

Through such a scene,
They seemed to see what that airship looked like more than 60 years ago.

The young, handsome, and high-spirited young hero stands on the top of the airship and stretches out his arms to the people he loves.

In the gaze of longing, amidst the flying flowers, the young captain of the airship showed a confident and fearless smile to the people at that time, as if embracing a bright future.

The setting sun sprinkled on his shoulders, and his whole body was as red as a flame.

[Residents of Praia. ] He once said:
[... I love you all. 】

……

Under the city wall, the players huddled in the corner laughed when they heard the voice.

"You still talk about love? He really can lie."

"That is, what feelings can he have for the npc in the copy? He has started his strategy mode again."

"As always, classic operation, no need to look outside."

"It can't be compared, it can't be compared, he is really capable, and my blood boils when I hear some words."

"I've already started recording the screen. It is estimated that the World Forum's 'First Player Speeches' will be updated again."

"Listen carefully, I want to see how he makes it up."

They hid in the corner like mice, gnawed on the bread to restore their strength, counted the meager points rewards they got from moving bricks in their hands, and listened to the speech to see off the victims like a tea party.

Anyway, no matter what the first player said, they would not go up the city wall. This action is too dangerous, even if there are too many rewards, they will not be able to get it, that is, those passionate residents will do it.

"——My love has never been lacking in half because of the passage of time."

The amplified, clear and loud voice came next.

In the distance, more and more residents gathered in that open space.They raised their heads and stretched their necks, listening to the voice from the highest place.

"...Residents of Praia, I love you." Su Mingan said.

Facing the endless people, he smiled.

"Whether you choose to step on this battlefield, whether you raise your weapons, whether you fight for this nest that is about to overturn... Fear or fearlessness, cowardice or bravery, selfishness or greatness, it is all you..."

"I love you guys."

"I love you—no matter what decisions you make, each of you is a drop of water in Praia, and the soul that lives on this land."

"Your choice does not mean that your personality is noble or not. Everything you care about will be your freedom, and it will be the proof that you, as human beings, live for your emotions and personality."

"You are free and independent, and you have every right to make choices about your own life."

"So, whether you climb the walls or not—I love you."

The people who were still resting put down the items in their hands.

Su Mingan's gaze shifted slightly, looking at the people on the city wall who couldn't hide their fear.

Among this huge team, the residents' legs and feet were still trembling.

They are terrified.

"As for—soul hunters, those who dare to climb the city wall, I would call you selfless knights." His voice softened a little, as if to soothe their fear.

"You are not the epitome of victims from ancient times to the present, nor are you a character manipulated by the emotions of the upper class."

"You belong to yourself. Every decision you make, every word you say, will be free and independent."

"I will not flaunt my role. I am a member of Praia just like you. I am a member of this team fighting for this land-I share the fate with you."

Su Mingan raised the sword in his hand, aiming the tip of the sword at the barrier above.

Under everyone's gaze, his voice became extremely loud.

In his words, there was no roar, no anger, and no excessive emotion injected.

He just expounded these words loudly and extremely steadily, as if he was declaring a sentence to all the people who looked up to him:
"We are the descendants of our ancestors who lived in the harsh environment and brutal competition. We have inherited their uncommon character."

"We have sought—battle, blood and sweat, the head of the enemy."

"The peace in the past has allowed us to live happily so far, and we have forgotten the stimuli that are far away from us. And the outsiders, who regard us as food and inferior goods, are eyeing this land."

"—We will never allow the happiness that our ancestors worked so hard to be taken away by a group of ignorant, stupid monsters who only know violence and killing. This is an insult to us as intelligent creatures, and it is an insult to our responsibility, spirit, and belonging. An insult to the will of the inhabitants of Praia."

"Now, in order to fight the injustice that wants to take our peace, we will use strong means to defeat them."

"Only this kind of behavior can deter those ignorant and stupid monsters. We will use weapons and struggle to restore the dignity of our will."

"Except for bloody warnings and their crushed heads, nothing can appease our offended anger."

"And you—people of Praia—you whom I love—"

"You can use your swords and shields, knives and guns to fight and win, to welcome the peace and victory you deserve, and to protect the land and people you love."

"You should have lived a smooth life, but now you have become noble."

"Not yielding to senseless violence, we shall rule this land in peace and goodness, from time immemorial to the present."

"—fight for everyone in this vast land, live for everything you love."

"Unforgettable hatred, the implementation of the ideals of generations, the origin of history - if we retreat here, the battle lines in this land since ancient times will no longer be stable, and wars in the name of race will be like child's play."

"...Only by killing these damned invaders can we completely resolve this long-standing dilemma."

"From the source, cut off this disaster, you who took up arms to drive away this group of invaders-I love you."

"I love you guys."

"—If human beings are destined not to be animals of pure rational thinking, then let sensibility and great love dominate us!"

"I love, so madly in love with you who are so sensual!"

"Fight for your country, fight for your faith—you—have the power to prevent all misfortunes."

"This courage to break the deadlock--from us--from the sword we lift, from our body, our blood and bone, from our fearless spirit-"

"That's what we should have. We deserve to snatch our homeland back from these damned enemies!"

"We are united on this wall, and the spirit of bravery and fearlessness is condensed in our team."

"If we succeed, the peace in Playa will continue. These ignorant, disgusting monsters will all be defeated in the crushing of the times. Your family, friends, will all be proud of our victory ...and you, you will be heroes, your children will sing your names, and everyone saved will thank you."

"Don't indulge in peace, don't succumb to fate—I love you like this!"

A sound like rolling thunder resounded through this quiet land.

The players who were eating melon seeds and bread stopped moving, and the melon seed shells in their hands fell to the ground.

"Fuck."

A loud curse sounded in this quiet area, breaking the short-term calm.

The people on the city wall are bathed in brilliance, as if they are watching everyone in sight.

The still people closed their long-open mouths, and their footsteps began to deviate.

"I love you guys."

Su Mingan looked at these ants-like crowds:

"Whether you agree with our actions or not, whether you are willing to fight for this hot land, whether you are willing to carry out your will and spirit—"

"...I love you all."

"From beginning to end."

He tore off the loudspeaker and tossed it to Cleaver.

From the beginning to the end, his heart was always calm, and his high-pitched tone and fanatical expression did not affect his emotions.

Group action requires more than careful planning and strict execution.

As long as there are "people" among them, "people" who are guided by emotions, they need psychological traction.

As a leader who is watched by everyone, he needs to properly guide such emotions that can be easily aroused.

The sound of mountains roaring and tsunami erupted in the next moment.

With the addition of emotional and heroic symbols, this pre-catastrophe call can move people.

Thunderstorm-like applause ran from one end of the city wall to the other end full of people.

The first person to applaud was the Knight of Light in golden armor, his eyes lit up with brilliance.

As for the farther and louder sound, it came from under the wall and from the other side of the river.

Densely packed people, like a black stream, crossed that river, and the emotions of the group have spread rapidly in these words.

Many more joined the squad.

They wanted to get close to Su Rin, the legendary being.Playa's, the historical heroes, he loved them, he was sharing their fate at this time.

Lucia, the vice minister of the soul clan, was mixed in with the human team. Seeing such a grand scene, she clenched her fists.

She remembered the guy standing on the top of the city wall, this guy... what he had said to her.

[Lucia. 】

【You should lead these people, but don't use words that are too straightforward. 】

【You have to make those who don't follow you feel the fanaticism in your eyes. 】

【You have to convince everyone... so much so that you yourself believe the theory about 'glory' that you said. 】

……

Many residents climbed the wall.

By the time of departure, the team had expanded to about a thousand people.

Noon is the best time to attack. Krakens are afraid of sunlight and fire, and rising temperatures will make them feel uncomfortable.

On the side, Cliff approached Su Mingan who was overlooking the sea.

Many people are watching here, they seem to have been infected by the phrase "Su Lin loves them", and they really want to feel the presence of Xiuxiu in the past.But the Minister of Soul Hunting stopped them in case someone had evil intentions.

In the next action, Su Rin is the most important factor, only he can control the enchantment.

"Are you overconfident in such a speech? You don't seem to have considered our failure..." Cleaver said softly.

The constant sights from behind were so numerous that it made one's scalp tingle, and he couldn't imagine the result of this team's failure.

Su Mingan glanced at him.

"What cards do you have, don't you?" Cleaver thought he understood the other's eyes.

Thinking about it, Su Rin is an existence blessed by the gods. Even the Sea Demon King can't kill him. He must have something to rely on to make such a confident speech.

Su Mingan glanced at him again.

That's the look in the eyes of the mentally retarded.

"When the team fails, everyone dies together." Su Mingan said, "How can I care if they are disappointed or not?"
