"This…"
"Why! What is he after? Is he planning to…"
Kui Sheng: "That's right, he really intends to save every single person that can still be rescued. Even if it looks like a losing deal, totally not worth the cost, even though just two days ago we were fighting him to the death, even though plenty of Red Peak Army warriors died at our hands too. But he still chose to do this. Before I came back, he said something to me."
"What did he say?"
"Commander Kui, hurry up and tell us, stop keeping us in suspense!"
Kui Sheng took a deep breath. "He said that every life deserves to be respected."
"Huh?"
"This…"
In the hall where the higher-ranking prisoners of war were gathered, silence fell in an instant, not a sound to be heard.
They even forgot to ask how they themselves would be dealt with.
There was no need anymore.
That one sentence from Earl Red Blade was the firmest stance imaginable.
