Pingru said nothing and for a moment didn't know how to refute what Yang Yu said.
When she was preparing to launch the super-large magic, she only thought about annihilating all the orcs who entered the Rose Empire and making the orcs who dared to slaughter civilians at will pay the price, so much so that she completely ignored the close exchanges between the two countries ten years ago.
If the orcs were so brutal from the beginning, why could the two countries have maintained peaceful relations for so long
Since when did orcs become barbaric and bloody in my eyes? And since when did I generalize and categorize all orcs into the same category
Yang Yu stared at Ping Ru with a calm expression:
“After all, as a human being, you are only standing on the side of your own humanity.
As for other races, they are all fine to you.
Even if this race is not much different from you.
You didn't even bother to confirm the purpose of their visit, but you made a judgment on our behalf. How arrogant you are.
They think that the other party is lowly and inferior, and that contacting and talking with them is lowering one's status, so their eyes are full of contempt.
Are the lives of us subhumans so worthless?"
Facing Yang Yu's questioning, Pingru bit her lower lip and wanted to defend herself, but she didn't know where to start, so she became hesitant and stammered.
Yang Yu placed his hand on his chest and bowed to Ping Ru.
"Miss, if you didn't hear me clearly just now, let me say it again.
We entered the Rose Empire in an attempt to prevent tragedy from happening.
I deeply regret not being able to prevent this tragedy from happening.
Those orc soldiers have received the punishment they deserved, our mission has been accomplished, and there is no need for us to stay here any longer.
If you have any complaints, please complain to the King of Wansheng after this war is over.
I am just an ordinary general. That unit is not my unit. It is an overstepping of my authority to take on the responsibility arbitrarily.
So I can’t say anything like, “Apologize to the civilians of the Rose Empire on behalf of the Wansheng Nation.”
After bowing, Yang Yu stood up straight, looked into Ping Ru's eyes, and continued to speak expressionlessly:
“I was able to own up to my mistakes and sincerely apologize for my mistakes.
But, what about you
Can you please apologize for almost killing us
If you feel it would be shameful to apologize to the orcs, or if your apology doesn't really come from the heart, then you don't have to.
We will withdraw to our borders.
If you plan to follow us and fight to the death, then come on."
If it was a year ago, Yang Yu would not have dared to say such words at all.
Without equipment, levels, or attributes, you have to be careful everywhere. If you are ridiculed by others and then go up to fight them, you will most likely die in a very ugly way.
It's like a MOBA game. When you choose a late-game hero, you will naturally avoid the strong heroes in the early game and endure the humiliation. Only in the late game can you stand up and turn the tide.
Now, Yang Yu has sufficient attributes and four good generals. If Ping Ru attacks him without saying anything, Yang Yu is confident that he can knock her down within this range.
In addition, what he just said was not only spoken to Pingru, but also to the orcs present.
Being hit in the face by a super-large magic without any words will leave some trauma even if you have a good mentality.
Standing on the orcs' side and speaking for them can also earn you a lot of their goodwill, so why not do it
After saying that, Yang Yu continued to observe Pingru's expression and planned the next step based on Pingru's reaction.
As a result, Pingru's reaction was beyond Yang Yu's expectations.
Pingru clenched the blindfold in her hand, at a loss, just like a waiter who had just started working and spilled cake on a customer. She lowered her head and stammered, and after a long time she managed to squeeze out an apology:
"sorry."
Originally, Pingru revealed her heterochromatic pupils in order to intimidate Yang Yu.
But who would have thought that when Yang Yu saw her strange eyes, he did not feel the slightest fear. On the contrary, he became even more aggressive.
Ever since she became the deputy captain of [Breaking Sky Stone], no one has dared to speak to her like this for a long time.
Although she had learned how to deal with it before, she couldn't remember how to respond to Yang Yu's continuous attack, and could only apologize in a low voice.
Yang Yu stopped when he saw that he was ahead and pretended to sigh:
"Since you have chosen to apologize, I will forgive you for now on behalf of the troops.
In order to avoid similar incidents from happening again, my troops and I plan to leave immediately.
Before that, I hope you can promise that you will not attack us before we leave the Rose Empire."
"I promise you. As long as you are truly harmless, I will not take action. This will affect the reputation of our adventure group."
Even though it was her own mistake, Pingru tried hard to appear magnanimous, so as to live up to the reputation of the deputy leader of [Breaking Sky Stone].
Unfortunately, the effect was not satisfactory, and her expression still revealed a sense of helplessness and grievance.
That complicated look didn't disappear until she put on the blindfold again.
Yang Yu walked towards Lothkar with confidence.
Iyas, who was sitting on Lothkar, was afraid that Yang Yu didn't hear clearly what she just said, "General, the person who is using magic now is the one who attacked the Fallen Feather City!", so she winked at Yang Yu.
Yang Yu gave Iyas a look that said "no need to worry about it for now", climbed onto Lothkar's back, turned around and led the troops away.
Iyas really wanted to ask Pingru why she wanted to attack the elves' village, but when she saw that Yang Yu had no such intention, she had to give up.
Iyas planned to wait until they had time to be alone together before asking Yang Yu why he didn't ask about the Fallen Feather City.
Leading the troops, Yang Yu returned non-stop along the original route. It didn't take long before they saw the mountains separating the two countries and the boundary markers between the two countries.
They didn't notice it when they went to the Rose Empire, but when they returned, Iyas and Bai Jin discovered that there was a human-shaped sculpture erected at regular intervals on the border between the two countries.
That is the statue of the first emperor of the Rose Empire.
The sculptures on the border were covered with moss and vines, and no one had cleaned them up.
The cause of the war was that Xin Mang cut off sculpture 7 in order to save two human children.
Anyone who sees this ancient sculpture will know that the Rose Empire has other intentions.
They were just a few steps away from crossing the mountain when suddenly, the marching orc troops caught the sound of someone flying in the air and quickly became alert.
Yang Yu turned around and looked.
Ping Ru, who had just parted ways with them, flew towards them at a low altitude and landed behind Yang Yu and his men without any preparation. She shouted to Yang Yu breathlessly:
"General in front, please wait a moment. I need you to do something. Can I take up some of your time?"
Happy Lantern Festival.
Don’t ask, the answer is, people in the South celebrate the Lantern Festival on the 16th.
