She respected every soldier.

Normally, besides the inevitable killing on the battlefield between two armies, she would not simply kill the opponent if they did not commit any heinous crime.

However... that would be another way round if the opponent insisted on standing in her way.

Suddenly, the air around Feng Ruqing sank as the surrounding aura turned gloomy. Just like an overwhelming waterfall, she looked overbearing with her cold eyes, as if she was the one who ruled the world.

She looked just like Nalan Yan, who led the army and battled in the past.

Zhang Yun was holding a long sword with his trembling hand. "Your Highness..."

The corners of Feng Ruqing"s lips gently lifted. "Has Tian Xuan Kingdom"s emperor not told you guys that the powerhouses sent by the four kingdoms to my Liu Yun Kingdom have all fallen apart?"

Suddenly, Zhang Yun lifted his head. He asked timidly with his pale face. "What did you say?"

"The four kingdoms" powerhouses have fallen apart, what are you holding on to?" Feng Ruqing slowly stepped forward.

Zhang Yun"s heart sank deeper along with her steps. It was as if something was pressing down his back to prevent him from straightening himself up.

"If Tian Xuan Kingdom"s soldiers surrender now, I will spare you life. However, if you insist on protecting him... I really esteem your loyalty, but do you really think that... he, such a person, deserves your sacrifices to protect him?

Feng Ruqing would not talk that much to them if she were facing a family or clan.

However, everyone in front of her was a soldier!

Liu Yun Kingdom would never force anyone to join their army. If someone were to join them, they joined it voluntarily. However, a lot of soldiers in the armies of the other kingdoms were coerced to join them, and they could never go back to their homes no matter they were alive or dead!

There were a lot of things that they did not do with their own intentions, they were all forced and were even forced to leave their homes.

Therefore, she was willing to give them another chance!

A second chance to choose again!

No matter what it was, it was all the useless emperor"s fault. The inferiors always did the most dangerous thing, but they always benefit the least.

Zhang Yun did not say anything. He was blue in his face as he held the sword in his hand, tightly.

All the soldiers standing behind him remained in silence as well. n.o.body could tell what was running in their minds.

"For my Liu Yun Kingdom"s army, we don"t simply accept anyone who asks to join. Any villain who bullies, robs, or kills the commoners, Liu Yun Kingdom will never accept them!"

"However..." Feng Ruqing paused. "My Liu Yun Kingdom"s army enjoys the ultimate freedom. As long as they never back off on the battlefield, they can leave the army whenever they wish to!"

"I, of Liu Yun Kingdom, will never simply invade another kingdom or kill the people. We will not attack unless we are attacked!"

"Also, we will never instigate you to rob or kill or do anything that goes against your conscience! On top of that... we will never treat a soldier like an object!"

The sword in Zhang Yun"s hand slid off his palm and fell to the ground.

He kneeled down. As the tears ran down his cheeks, he cried hysterically with his hands covering his face.

Sadness, agony.

Back then, he was talented enough to be the general of a general manor. However, just because he had violated the military orders of not killing the ordinary person without any reason, he was demoted and expelled to a porter here!

Also...

None of them liked war!

Who does not cherish their own lives?

Does anyone in the world never care for their lives?

Back when he was serving in the barracks, besides him, who was the one who rushed to the front to protect the country every single time? He contributed the most, but he enjoyed the least. However, he was demoted into a porter just because he refused to go against his own conscience!
