Li Tianrui said: "Teacher Luo..., people who do this kind of thing, no matter how good their reasons are, will be remembered as a devil, right?"
"No one will know. Only you and I will know. There were many corpses that were not dealt with in time before the Black Wood Pass. In addition, the weather was hot and a large army gathered. It was normal for an epidemic to break out. Even if someone will link this plague to the outbreak of Blackwater disease here in the future, it is just speculation by historians." Luo Ling said slowly.
"You are not going to report this to the committee?" Li Tianrui stood up, and suddenly felt like he was questioning someone, so he slowly sat down again.
"Telling them will only cause unnecessary trouble. Not only will some people come out and firmly oppose this plan, but even if most people agree, it will only make more people feel guilty and bear this pain." Luo Ling looked at Li Tianrui with bright eyes, "This kind of pain will not decrease because more people share it, so it is enough for the two of us to bear it. If you didn't have the tube of black water sample, I would do it alone."
"Teacher Luo, it seems that you have made up your mind a long time ago." Li Tianrui said.
Luo Ling smiled, and the meaning behind that smile was so complicated that Li Tianrui couldn't understand it. "Have you made up your mind? I guess so. I definitely hesitated and changed my mind over and over again. When people have to make decisions that go beyond our limits, they will become timid, especially when it comes to... imagining things."
"Imagine?" Li Tianrui asked puzzledly.
"Yeah. I can imagine the tragic scene of the surrounding villages being wiped out due to the outbreak of blackwater disease. I can imagine the old people, children, and even hungry babies being devoured by the terrible demonized bacteria. I can even hear the sound of black water dripping and smell the pungent smell with my eyes closed. And... the state of losing control of the body, slowly rotting into black water, and falling into a helpless state." Luo Ling described the tragic scene in her beautiful voice, which made people shudder.
"Teacher Luo, there is no need for you to torture yourself with such details." Li Tianrui frowned. He himself had suffered from this disease and was particularly touched by what Luo Ling said. He even felt vaguely weak in his limbs and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
"No, when we hold a destructive force, we must have a clear and definite understanding of the consequences of this force. We should not regard it as a tool to create enemy death statistics, but we should truly experience and imagine the specific consequences it will produce. We should imagine how those who will be affected will suffer and how they will die.
When we think about it this way and still feel that we have enough reasons and courage to use that power, we will not easily make mistakes that we cannot forgive ourselves. "
Li Tianrui opened his mouth slightly, and after a long pause he said, "Teacher Luo, you are really brave."
Luo Ling shook her head slightly: "I just asked you this question, maybe it was the last struggle of my conscience, but in the conversation with you just now, I didn't find any reason to stop myself from doing this. So now... I think you have made up your mind. Someone has to bear all this. I will do it."
"Teacher Luo!" Li Tianrui looked as if he had made up his mind. "Let me do this. I am a soldier after all. Killing the enemy should be done by professionals. Don't you think I look more like a hero or a villain than you?"
"Whether a hero or a villain, you need enough aura and strength. I think you are still far behind in both aspects." Luo Ling was amused by his last interruption. "After all, there is more than one master in Heimuguan. We must be very careful. I have at least reached the threshold of a great magician, and I can do things under their noses. It is too risky for you to do it alone. I have thought of several plans. No matter which one, it is safer to go with two people. At least when one person does something, it will be much safer if there is someone to help him hide his tracks."
"Okay." Li Tianrui said, "I suddenly thought of a problem. In addition to the two people who are operating this matter, we also need a troop. The situation we are assuming now is that the enemy stays at Heimuguan and the scope of the blackwater disease is mostly controlled within Heimuguan. But what if they take action in the next two days? Whether they march to Hewan New City or Suero, they will be a huge mobile source of infection. They will bring the blackwater disease all the way into the territory we occupy, or even into these two big cities, and our losses will be immeasurable.
Therefore, we must have a precautionary measure. If we have an elite force, we can play a role in containing the enemy when they march towards us, slowing down their march until the plague breaks out. "
"What you said makes sense. Which unit do you think is suitable?" Luo Ling asked.
Li Tianrui said: "In fact, my dark elf battalion is the most suitable for this task. They are stronger than ordinary humans, good at long-range attacks, and familiar with forest combat. More importantly, they have no connection with the Empire and the Imperials, and are not easily sympathetic to the Imperials. It's just that it's cost-prohibitive to transport hundreds of people from a battalion through the teleportation array. What I want to do is to pick dozens of the most elite dark elf warriors here, and then ask Commander Wang from Suero for some more people to make up a company. They should be able to do this job."
"In this case, we may have to tell Wang Jiyuan about our own action plan. Otherwise, he will not send out troops casually." Luo Ling said.
"I think Commander Wang is the one who knows best what must be done and when. He is also the one who truly understands how big a threat the Imperials pose. Believe me, he will definitely agree with our ideas at this time." Li Tianrui said.
Luo Ling said: "Your idea reminds me that our enemy in this operation is not only the Imperials, but also the Blackwater Disease itself. If the Imperials act too quickly, more villages and towns around will be affected. We need to prepare those mages who have learned how to treat the Blackwater Disease. If the Imperials spread the Blackwater Disease nearby, we will need them to save the surrounding villages and towns."
"That's right." Li Tianrui agreed, "The last outbreak of Blackwater disease left a deep impression on the committee. They have now promoted toxin isolation shields and treatment methods among the mages in River Bay New City. This time we can organize more mages than in Green Forest City." (To be continued)
