In a suffocating silence.
Meng Hu suddenly reached out and pointed to the Heroes Monument on the south side of the square, and raised his dantian and shouted loudly: "Did you see that Heroes Monument? It is engraved with names, and each name on it represents a life. Just like you, you have been able to think, eat, laugh, cry, roar and howl!"
The sound from Meng Hu's dantian rolled and stirred in the square. Almost all the strong men heard his voice, and then couldn't help but turn around and looked at the giant stone tablet more than ten feet high at the southern end of the square with a solemn expression. It was indeed full of dense names.
Meng Hu's voice then rang out, soaring into the sky. Even though he was outside the square, it was clearly heard.
"But now, they are just cold names and lifeless symbols!"
"The army of Mingyue Empire is approaching, and the city is broken. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, at most three days, our name will be engraved here, because we are soldiers, defending the city is our sacred mission. As long as we have a breath, we will never surrender!"
"I will never surrender!"
"I will never surrender!"
"I will never surrender!"
The soldiers who were maintaining order around the square raised their spears and started to whistle at the top of their lungs. The thunderous sound of thunderous shattered the sky, causing the faces of hundreds of thousands of strong men on the square to change drastically.
Meng Hu suddenly raised his right arm, and the soldiers' long howls stopped like a knife cut.
Meng Hu took a deep breath and then shouted: "We are soldiers, we will never surrender, but what about you?"
"You can choose to surrender. Most of the Mingyue Bandits will not kill you, but you must pay the price for it. Your land will become other people's land, your property will become others' property, and your women... will also become the Mingyue Bandits' women!"
"The victor plunders the property and women of the loser, and never needs a reason!"
"Men in the western provinces, tell me, are you willing to become other people's land, your property becomes others' property, and your woman becomes the woman of the Mingyue bandit?"
"I don't want to!"
"I don't want to!"
"I don't want to!"
The 100,000 strong men in the square were stirred by Meng Hu's sensational words and couldn't help but howl. The huge sound waves were about to shatter the sky, and even the rooftop of the Governor's Mansion began to tremble slightly. Luo Daonan, who was standing behind Zhao Qinghan, instinctively took two steps back, as if he was really worried that the rooftop would collapse suddenly.
Meng Hu raised his right arm again, and Dunzi screamed at the top of his lungs: "Silent, quiet..."
The tsunami-like shouts gradually subsided, and the square soon became silent again.
Meng Hu pulled out the battle knife, pointed the sharp tip of the knife from a distance, and shouted loudly: "All the warriors who are willing to fight to defend their homes... kneel down!"
"Everyone kneel down!"
"Everyone kneel down!"
"Everyone kneel down!"
The soldiers around the square responded three times. The 100,000 strong men were stunned at first, and then they knelt on the ground.
On the rooftop behind Meng Hu, Luo Daonan couldn't help but frowned and muttered in a low voice: "What do this bastard want to do? Who do he think he is?"
"Master Priest!" Zhan Ying, who was standing beside Luo Daonan, suddenly turned his head and said with a warning, "Silence!"
Luo Daonan groaned, but he really didn't dare to say anything more, because he had already felt a murderous aura from the War Eagle, the murderous aura shared by the Imperial soldiers! Obviously, Meng Hu's words just now not only greatly increased the favorability of the Imperial soldiers who maintained order around the square, but even Zhan Ying changed his perception of Meng Hu.
Meng Hu's finger at the battle knife in the sky slowly pressed down and shouted loudly: "I, Meng Hu, as the commander of the Fourth Division of the Western Legion, announced... You have officially become soldiers of the Fourth Division! From now on, defending your home, defending the city, defending women and children will become your sacred mission! No matter how difficult or dangerous it is, whether you are alive, whether you are alive, your life and death, you will always be loyal to the empire and the people. This is your oath!"
After saying this, Meng Hu suddenly shouted in an even more intense tone: "All the soldiers of the Fourth Division will listen. Once the war begins, kill one enemy and reward one acre of land, kill ten enemy and reward ten acres of land and exempt all taxes. Kill a hundred enemy and reward one acres of land and reward one acres of land and then grant the status of noble soldiers!"
"Ao..."
"Ha ha……"
"Ho ho ho..."
As Meng Hu finished speaking, the hundred thousand strong men in the square suddenly cheered like a tsunami.
Even the soldiers who maintained order around the square shouted wildly. After all, people are selfish. No one left the opportunity to survive to others but chose to die. If an army is brave and good at fighting, the personal charm and appeal of the leading general are important, but actual rewards are also essential!
Seeing the hysterical man in the square excited and hysterical look, a faint smile flashed across Zhao Qinghan's face, and the beautiful eyes that looked at Meng Hu became softer. This man is really a very different man. It seems that the more critical the moment he reaches, the more amazing his performance is. This is a man born for troubled times!
Zhao Qinghan suddenly realized that she began to fall in love with Meng Hu's generous and generous look.
When Zhao Qinghan was intoxicated, a disharmonious voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Luo Daonan took two steps forward and roared angrily: "Meng Hu, who do you think you are? Your Majesty the Emperor? Your Excellency the Governor? Or the Lord of the Priest? According to the imperial law, only nobles above the count and clergy above the Red Robe Priest have the power to enthrone their servants as nobles, but what are you? You are just a small division leader. What power do you have to enthrone the Priest?"
Meng Hu ignored Luo Daonan's flies and suddenly raised his sword in his hand and said with a long stern voice: "Get up, stand up, go to the armory to collect weapons and armor, and then fight like a man, and cut off the heads of the Mingyue bandit's neck to exchange for your merits, hahaha..."
The strong men who were kneeling on the square stood up one after another and rushed to the armory west of the city in chaos.
Seeing that Meng Hu ignored him, Luo Daonan was furious. When he was about to come forward to argue, Zhao Qinghan suddenly turned around, looked at Luo Daonan coldly, and said, "Master Priest, it is my idea to enthrone a meritorious soldier as a nobleman. Do you think there is something wrong?"
"This..." Luo Daonan was suffocated when he heard this and said a little embarrassedly, "Of course, the noble lady has this power."

Outside Xiling City, the army is in the middle of the bright moon.
Yan Ting hurriedly boarded Situ Rui's chariot and replied respectfully: "Governor, everything is ready."
"Yes." Situ Rui nodded slightly and said calmly, "Then let's start."
Yan Ting looked back suddenly and waved to the solemn messenger behind the chariot. The messenger suddenly straightened his body, raised the two triangular flags in his hand and waved them vigorously. More than a dozen fast horses scattered from the central army. In an instant, the shrill long howl of the messenger had resounded throughout the sky: "Governor General, start attack..."
“Woo woo woo woo…”
"Dongdongdongdong..."
The long and long sound of horns and the intense sound of war drums suddenly soared into the sky.
The soldiers who were sitting on the ground resting stood up one after another, and officers at all levels walked to the team and began to yell at the whole team of soldiers under their command. The originally silent Mingyue Army formation began to boil, and the sound of weapons and armor hitting, the neighing of war horses and the chaotic footsteps suddenly intertwined, and the tension before the war soon spread in the air.
"roar!"
"roar!"
"roar!"
