Chapter 68: Encourage morale and unity of purpose
“It was then that I realized that it was the country, the king, and the nobles that were corrupt.
“They were constantly inflicting pain and suffering on the country, and so that’s when I decided to get to the root of the problem.
“It was also from that time that I met you.
“Everyone here has had almost the same experience as me, almost the same pain, almost the same hatred and anger.
“All these emotions are our strength, and this strength will fully blossom tonight.
"Soldiers of the resistance army, are you willing to join me in fighting to the bitter end to overthrow this corrupt country?"
"Fight to the bitter end!"
"Fight to the bitter end!"
"Fight to the bitter end!"
...
All the soldiers of the rebel army raised their arms and shouted together, the waves of voices getting higher and higher. Over the years they have been forging weapons, secretly training their troops, and accumulating strength, all waiting for this day.
"Good!" Tara shouted excitedly, "As long as we unite as one, we can accomplish great things. And we are not fighting alone.
"Today is not only the most important day for our resistance army, but also the day when our powerful allies arrive. Let us welcome the strong men from the 'Divine Punishment' organization together."
As Tara's voice fell, all the rebels cheered enthusiastically, and Luke and the other two fell from the sky very handsomely and landed next to Tara.
All three of them were wearing masks and white hooded cloaks, emitting a powerful aura as they glanced around.
"Everyone, I am the Hungry Wolf of the Divine Punishment Organization and the most loyal ally of the resistance army." Olin stepped forward and said to everyone, "The purpose of our Divine Punishment is to fight against all evil in the world in the name of God. To celebrate our cooperation, I decided to give everyone a gift."
After saying that, Olin's body suddenly disappeared in front of everyone. When he appeared again, Olin was already twenty meters away, in front of a two-meter-high boulder that Tara had ordered to be moved in advance.
With the strength of Olin's hands, he lifted the boulder very easily. Then Olin threw it lightly with one hand. The boulder directly cut through the sky, flew over a distance of more than 20 meters, and smashed heavily in front of the crowd with a dull sound.
This scene scared countless people.
You should know that there were twenty people carrying the stone at that time, and they were all strong warriors. Even so, it took them a lot of effort to move it outside the square.
However, Olin lifted such a heavy stone easily and threw it over from more than 20 meters away with one hand.
Before everyone could react, Olin had already drawn the sword from his waist and swung it at the boulder.
As the blade flashed, the word "must win" appeared on the boulder, emitting a strong sword intent and penetrating several feet deep.
Seeing this scene, all the resistance fighters felt a strong desire to fight.
When Tara just announced that they would counterattack the city tonight, many rebel soldiers felt unsure, and some were even afraid.
Because many people have rebelled against Rafia before, but no one has succeeded. Although all members of the resistance army believe that they will die and will not back down no matter what, if there is a real choice, no one wants to die.
At this moment, everyone became excited and looked at Olin and the other two with shining eyes.
No wonder the leader decided to launch the battle tonight without informing anyone in advance. With such strong reinforcements, their originally slim chances of winning were greatly increased.
Seeing the changes in the expressions on everyone's faces, Fu Ya nodded with satisfaction. This was her idea and the purpose was simple, which was to boost morale by showing off muscles.
After the mobilization, everyone began to prepare for tonight's battle, and everyone was full of fighting spirit.
Tara took Lu Kai and the other two around for a walk. Everyone who saw them had a look of awe in their eyes. Everyone felt particularly reassured at the thought of having such powerful people helping them.
"Sister, do you think we can win?" At this moment, a small voice caught Lu Kai's attention.
Lu Kai turned his head and saw a boy who was not much older than him sharpening a knife and asking the girl next to him.
"I definitely will." The girl who was stringing the armor said firmly, "Master Tara will never joke with our lives, and you have seen the strength of Master Garou of Divine Punishment. I heard from the adults that it is a power that only superhumans have. With the help of a few adults, we will definitely win."
"Sister, I will definitely protect you." The boy said very seriously.
While the two were talking, Lu Kai had already arrived in front of them. Both the boy and the girl suddenly stopped all movements after seeing the hideous mask on Lu Kai's face.
Both of them swallowed nervously, lowered their heads in fear, and didn't dare to look directly into Lu Kai's eyes.
"What's your name?" Lu Kai suddenly asked the boy.
"My lord, my name is Kale," the boy replied stutteringly.
"Kalei, let me see the knife in your hand." Upon hearing this, Kalei immediately handed the knife, which had not been completely sharpened, to Lu Kai.
Lu Kai took the knife and swung it with his backhand. A sword energy flew out from the blade, directly breaking through the void and hitting a huge millstone five meters away.
The millstone didn't seem to change at all after being hit, but a few seconds later, it suddenly split neatly in the middle and fell to both sides, leaving an extremely smooth surface at the split.
"This is a good knife." Lu Kai returned the knife to Kalei and said, "Kalei, don't be afraid, don't be terrified, you have to believe that as long as you are strong enough, any evil is false.
"Try to become stronger, then you can protect your sister at any time in the future."
At this moment, Kale's face flushed with excitement, and his palm unconsciously gripped the hilt of the knife tightly. At the same time, he looked at Lu Kai with great admiration, his eyes constantly flashing.
"My lord, I will work hard to become stronger, and I will always protect my sister." Kale promised loudly.
Lu Kai nodded, turned and left, continuing to inspect other places.
Fu Ya, who was standing by, couldn't help but chuckle. She looked at Lu Kai's back and scolded him, "Silly boy, why are you pretending to be so profound?"
Even though she complained like this, Fu Ya was extremely happy in her heart. Although Lu Kai's words were directed to Kale, weren't they also his own thoughts?
In the square, some young children were spontaneously carrying weapons and armor.
Some children's faces turned red because the weapons they were carrying were too heavy, but they still insisted on carrying them by themselves.
Some old men were sharpening their weapons, counting the number of armors, or reinstalling armor plates on damaged ones.
Some mothers-in-law were cooking food carefully in front of huge pots, tasting it from time to time, fearing that the food would not taste right and the soldiers would not be able to eat well.
