“Boohoo!”
“Vriweth tricked us and made fools of us!”
The people behind began to throw tantrums and cry out loudly when they were told to return. Some of the civilians even turned hostile and struck the soldiers around them or hit the ground with their heads.
In just a moment, there were already violent bloodshed incidents occurring.
“Folks, listen to me!” Jonah shouted loudly to gain a moment of silence. “I want to return to Seraphym more than any of you, but now we can’t guarantee complete safety anymore!”
“Lord Ramirez has sacrificed his life for everyone to safely return home. What we need to do now is ensure that his death was not in vain. If anything happened to all of you, we would feel deeply ashamed for failing to protect all of you properly and Lord Ramirez’s effort would be wasted!”
Jonah tried to make his voice as deep as possible when favonovel.com spoke.
However, the civilians did not accept that.
The general public did not understand the differences in skill levels among practitioners of martial arts. They felt it was all because the legion was weak.
“Let the soldiers in the front open up and show them what happened on the battlefield.” At that moment, Isaac spoke up.
“Lord Garten, the battlefield is terrifying, it’s better not to let civilians see it…” Jonah spoke with concern.
The horrific scene in front was so unbearable even for a seasoned soldier like him. Especially when it came to a group of civilians.
“Do you think there is any better solution?” Isaac glanced at Jonah next to him.
“Alright…” Jonah nodded and followed Isaac’s instructions.
The legion in front parted and unraveled the civilians from the circle of protection. That way, the common people could see the horrors on the battlefield ahead.
The entire city was filled with corpses and they looked incredibly horrifying as their lives had been completely drained. It was like a scene straight out of hell.
Children and women had their faces turned pale and couldn’t stop crying. Even some of the men upon seeing such a scene couldn’t help and started vomiting.
“Everyone, the world of martial arts is far more complex than you could ever imagine and there is always someone more skilled. Even someone as powerful as a president cannot handle everything perfectly. They also have someone to protect but are unable to…”
“Hence why it’s not being cowardly for us to call for a retreat. Rather, we value everyone’s life and don’t want anyone to take unnecessary risks… Everyone’s life is very precious!” Isaac said.
His voice was transmitted through golden spiritual energy. Although it caused some distortion to the sound, it ensured that everyone could hear it.
Each word, though not many, was heartfelt and his sincerity touched everyone.
“He cares about our safety and wants to protect us.”
“Everyone only has one life, so let’s go back.”
“I have a wife and kids, I don’t want to die.”
“Sir, we will follow your orders.”
“He must have his reasons for his decision.”
“Even Lord Ramirez is dead. We better retreat than die here.”
Many civilians were moved or frightened by the horrific scenes on the battlefield ahead and were now willing to follow Jonah’s orders.
A small group of people that remained resistant had themselves accommodated by the majority.
“Sir, two burly men have broken into our camp from the west and are rampaging through. Our troops are unable to stop them.
“They said they wanted to see Lord Garten!” A soldier who was panting heavily ran over and reported with his hands clenched into fists.
