Chapter 895, Fire Past

The battle of the 6th division was very tragic, or rather more tragic than Ren Xiaosu had imagined, a force of nearly 10,000 men encountering barbarians when their ammunition was almost exhausted was a very frightening thing in itself.

When Ren Xiaosu arrived near the battlefield, everything was already too late, he saw those warriors suddenly burst out with a powerful aura of blood and valor, each and every one of them fearlessly rushed towards the barbarians.

P5031 was killed in action, and the living generals of the 6th Division actually did use their flesh and blood to fight for half an hour for the rest of the troops to retreat.

They even ran out of ammunition, so they could only use their swords, fists, and teeth to face the barbarians.

Half an hour was an extremely long time for everyone in the Sixth Division, yet Ren Xiaosu watched all of this and felt that they already had no regrets.

Ren Xiaosu didn’t make a move because it was too late, in the face of tens of thousands of expeditionary corps, his power was indeed too small, wanting to save the sixth division was a fool’s errand, he had to face reality.

The growth of a young man is to learn how to face reality.

There are three stages in life. The first stage is to understand that one’s parents are not the center of the world, they are not omnipotent.

Parents are also bitter and frustrated. They suffer a lot of anger at work during the day, but they never tell you about it.

They also have moments of helplessness, and they are powerless in the face of the world.

The second stage is to understand that you are not the center of this world and learn to face reality.

Everyone is not the protagonist of the world, the heart of the world is always just a blessing, teenagers should begin to understand that the road of life is just a lonely journey to split all the thorns.

That endless road of life to experience countless bumps, face countless times the powerless choice, this is the reality.

The third stage is to understand that your children are not the center of the world.

They can’t fulfill those unfinished regrets for you, because they are also ordinary people.

At this point, even Ren Xiaosu was somewhat powerless in the face of the tens of thousands of people and the seemingly endless expeditionary corps roaming the mountains, so he chose to leave with Yang Xiaoguan.

Perhaps there were other things that could be done within their power, the Sixth Division had already died as they themselves wished, and one did not have to forcefully reverse anything.

“The Sixth Division is almost gone,” Ren Xiaosu said over the comm channel, “They didn’t rout, but stayed behind to give the rest of the troops a rearguard and buy time.”

P5092’s calm voice came from the communication channel, “This is the wisest choice, he knows he won’t be able to escape, maybe he himself can survive, but his soldiers will be ninety-nine percent dead or wounded, and for the rest of his future life meticulously he will be in agony whenever he thinks about it, it’s like sinking into hell. If it was me, I would choose the same way.”

Ren Xiaosu smashed his mouth, “Do you have any humanity, suddenly analyzing a whole lot so calmly at this time.”

“It has nothing to do with humanity,” P5092 continued calmly, “This is paying the price for his own bad decision, along with him there are nearly ten thousand Fire Seed soldiers paying the price, as a senior Fire Seed general, I have always believed that if the Fire Seed loses the war in this war, then he has to take the main responsibility. But as a commoner, I admire his choice at this time. There is no contradiction.”

“All right,” Ren Xiaosu walked towards the south, he sometimes he thought that the people of Fireseed were a bit schizophrenic, these people could make the personality of an ordinary person, and the personality of an iron blooded war machine, coexist in their bodies at the same time.

P5092 said, “The education we received from childhood is like this, kindergarten is the kindergarten of the Fire Seed, elementary school is the elementary school of the Fire Seed, junior high school is the junior high school of the Fire Seed, high school and college are also the schools of the Fire Seed, everything we have experienced has been predetermined, today, we are going to fight for the guardianship of the survival of human beings in the Central Plains. Then, those who can be genetically modified will enter the army, and those who cannot will enter other jobs.”

Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, was this brainwashing from baby to baby.

P5092 continued over the encrypted communication channel between the two of them, “Do you understand hypnosis? It’s actually the same as hypnosis.”

Ren Xiaosu said, “Of course I understand hypnosis, there is a demon whisperer among my friends who is the best at hypnosis.

P5092 said, “We have accepted more than ten years of special education to fight only for today, those ten years of life are like a prelude to hypnosis, when the day of enlistment, each of us has to give up our name, and from then on, accept our number, and become a part in the war machine, just like the cold and icy number, and become a cold and icy part. That ceremony of giving up one’s name is like the ringing of the fingers in hypnotism, and it all officially begins the moment the ringing of the fingers takes place.”

“Won’t you guys regret it?” Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, he now realized that the original Fire Seed soldiers all had names before that.

Giving up their names seemed like a very incredible thing to him.

“Nothing to regret,” P5092 said.

“Then what was your name before you enlisted?” Ren Xiaosu wondered.

“Ling Han,” P5092 said.

“Then how about I call you Ling Han from now on?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

As a result, to Ren Xiaosu’s surprise, P5092 suddenly said after a long period of silence, “It’s better to call me by my number, I actually prefer the name P5092 now, it’s my honor.”

“Alright,” Ren Xiaosu smiled, “Now what do you judge the barbarian will do? Where should I go?”

“To the south, now the 7th and 5th divisions still have hidden dangers, the Expeditionary Corps went to such great lengths to set up a trap, it shouldn’t be stalled so easily, they must still have a backhanded plan because they don’t actually want to let any of the Firebringer soldiers go,” P5092 said, “Please. Help bring back the remaining four divisions, I’ve measured that at least half of them should be brought back so that the Spark won’t fall into a desperate place of certain defeat. Moreover, the senior generals of these four divisions must not be okay, if there is a need to change commanders on the spot in the future, it will still be extremely problematic.”

“Good,” Ren Xiaosu said solemnly, “I promise you.”

“The Third Division has already constructed a defense line here, you only need to escort them to this place, and leave the rest to me,” P5092 said sincerely once again, “Please.”

Nowadays, the Fire Seed had internal and external difficulties, with the problem of lack of supplies inside and the defeat outside, even if the Fire Seed troops were able to retreat all the way back to the Great Wall, the rest of the war must be extraordinarily difficult.

Simply because they had wasted too much firepower on the Barbarian Elder, this had undoubtedly added to the matter of lack of supplies.

However, having the two of them, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaoguan, escort a fire force of tens of thousands of people? This idea was a little too crazy, and I didn’t know what P5092 was thinking.

Ren Xiaosu turned off the communication channel and said to Yang Xiaoguan, “Let’s go.”

Yang Xiaoguan asked, “Where to now?”

Ren Xiaosu smiled, “To fight for the survival of the human fire in the Central Plains.”
