"Greetings, Your Majesty Hongjun!" After the excitement, everyone remembered that Guhan had another identity, and that was the human Jiandi.
So all the sword bearers knelt on the ground one after another and bowed respectfully to Guhan.
Only Amakusa Ichiro remained motionless. It was not that he did not respect the cold, but he had fallen into a state of dizziness.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that the person who saved him and the others from the alternate dimension and fought alongside him at the same time was one of the strongest in human history. This sudden news completely shattered Ichiro Amakusa's rationality, and he felt dizzy all over.
"His Majesty Hongjun came this time to persuade us to go back!"
Wushang Shifang did not play dumb with his men and directly stated Guhan's purpose. "His Majesty Hongjun said that it is impossible to build our Yamato City, and we will only wait for death if we stay here.
I thought about it for a long time, and I think what His Majesty said does make sense. If we stay here, there is a great chance that we will be buried in this land. "
"I don't want everyone to become a victim of my personal obsession. After His Majesty's persuasion, I decided to give everyone a chance to choose.
Those who are willing to return to Yanjing City and reintegrate into the human family can leave with His Majesty. With His Majesty's protection, I believe all of you can reach Yanjing City safely. "
Wuzhang Shifang said indifferently. As soon as Wuzhang Shifang finished speaking, all the sword-bearers broke into an uproar.
In fact, there was no need for Wushang Shifang to admit it. All the sword bearers present knew in their hearts that it was difficult for this weak Yamato City to survive. Their dream of rebuilding the Yamato people had less than 20% chance of coming true.
It was just that because of Wushang Shifang's brainwashing and training, as well as his betrayal of human beings, these sword bearers had no choice but to stay in Yamato City and take a gamble.
But now there was a choice. Hongjun Jiandi appeared in front of everyone in person and promised that Yan Jing City would not care about this betrayal. This was probably the only chance for them to return to the relatively safe human family. Everyone knew that this was a decision related to their lives.
However, when he thought about his dream and the six years he had worked hard for, his desire to leave became much dimmer. Therefore, the situation fell into a stalemate.
"Lord Wuzhang Shifang, what about you?
Would you like to leave with us? "Suddenly, someone asked Wuzhang Shifang in a loud voice.
"I won't go!"
Wuzhang Shifang lightly said, "This is my dream, this is my burial place, I will never leave this place!"
"Then I won't leave either!"
"I'm not leaving either!"
"We will accompany you!"
Wuzhang Shifang's prestige in this city was really unparalleled. Therefore, after Wuzhang Shifang expressed his position, most of the sword bearers shouted one after another, saying that they would live and die with Wuzhang Shifang, advance and retreat together, and never separate.
"Then, those who want to leave, please come forward!"
When Wuzhang Shifang saw everyone shouting his name, he was so excited that his eyes were full of tears, and he choked with sobs as he spoke to his men.
Seeing this scene, Guhan knew that he was going to lose this time.
Sure enough, after Wuzhang Shifang shed tears, the scene became even more excited. There was not even a sword bearer who stood up and was ready to leave.
"I will stay here tonight. That's it. Those who want to stay here, stay in your residence tonight and are not allowed to go out.
If anyone wants to leave with me, gather in this square in the early hours of the morning. I will take all of you with me! "
In the face of this excited scene, which was shouting Wuzhang Shifang's name, Guhan said calmly in a loud voice that suppressed all the people present.
"What a vicious move!"
Wu Zhangshi Fang's eyes widened as he stared at Gu Han. Wu Zhangshi Fang had to admit that Gu Han's words were too poisonous.
…
Humans were herd animals and were easily affected by collective emotions. Even elite humans like the sword bearers were no exception.
Even if there were sword bearers who were clear-headed in the crowd, due to the current situation, even if they wanted to leave with Guhan, they didn't have the courage to take the initiative to stand up.
And Guhan's last sentence had the effect of taking drastic measures. There was still more than half a day before 12 am, which was enough time for people to calm down.
Then, those sword bearers who had calmed down could take advantage of the dark and windy night, as well as the restriction of those who wanted to stay here, to let go of all the restrictions and leave with Guhan.
That was why Wuzhang Shifang said that Guhan's move was extremely vicious, completely destroying the collective emotions that Wuzhang Shifang had worked so hard to mobilize.
In fact, that night, many people could hear hurried footsteps coming from outside the room.
Obviously, some people were planning to leave here.
Some of the sword-bearers who wanted to stay in Yamato City wanted to go out and stop the others from leaving. However, as soon as they got close to their doors, they discovered that there was a line of small words carved on their doors using sword qi.
"Once this door is opened, you must leave!"
The meaning of this sentence was very simple. As long as anyone dared to open this door, it meant that they wanted to leave Yamato City and Wuzhang Shifang, and then Guhan would forcibly take them away, never giving them any room to choose.
Facing such a situation, of course, those sword bearers who really wanted to stay here didn't dare to open their door again. They could only wait in torment until dawn before silently opening their door.
…
"How is it?"
After dawn, Wuzhang Shifang had been sitting in his room, not even going out, just waiting for his subordinate to report.
"His Majesty Hongjun has left!" The person who reported to Wuzhang Shifang was none other than Amakusa Ichiro.
"I know he has left, but I'm asking, how many people left with him?" Wuzhang Shifang said with a bitter smile.
"…" Amakusa Ichiro hesitated for a while, probably thinking that his concealment was not very useful, and Wuzhang Shifang would know the real number sooner or later, so in the end, he nodded and said, "Out of 121 brothers, 38 people stayed!"
"That means that two-thirds of the people have left!"
Wuzhang Shifang's body could not help but tremble. He had already guessed that many people would choose to leave.
But he did not expect that there would be so many people who chose to leave.
This was a direct force that he had cultivated for only 20 to 30 years, and they were all sword bearers that he had personally trained. But now, two-thirds of them actually chose to leave.
Originally, Wuzhang Shifang thought that the number 38 should only be the number of people who left.
"Sir, do you want me to chase after them?"
Seeing Wuzhang Shifang's pale face, Amakusa Ichiro immediately said, "They just left not long ago, if we chase after them now, we should still be able to catch up!"
"What a joke, with His Majesty Hongjun escorting them personally, even I can't catch up, how can you catch up!"
Wuzhang Shifang glared at Amakusa Ichiro, then waved his hand helplessly and said, "Forget it, a melon forcibly picked won't be sweet, let them go!"
"By the way, those natives, are they still here?" Wuzhang Shifang suddenly asked nervously.
"Not yet, after all, the natives do not understand Huaxia, so they do not know that they can leave at night.
I took a look just now, most of the natives are still here, only a small number of them disappeared, probably when they went to the toilet at night, Hongjun Jiandi took them away, thinking that they wanted to leave. Now, at least 90% of the natives are still here with us! "
"Then that's enough!"
Wuzhang Shifang took a deep breath, then clenched his fists tightly and said, "As long as we have these 38 children who are of the same mind as me, and the blood that truly belongs to our Yamato people, our Yamato people will definitely be reborn!!!!" Wuzhang Shifang said with determination.
…
"Okay, I will send you here, we can go our separate ways!"
A few hours later, on the beach of Japan, Guhan looked at the sword bearers behind him, who were anxious but full of hope for a new life, and then said to Song Yifei, who was next to him.
"Where are you going?"
Song Yifei was startled by Guhan's words. Didn't they agree to send these sword bearers back to Yanjing City together?
Why did they have to separate again?
"Did you forget that my Qingpin sword is still in that strange space? I have to bring her back before I can leave here!"
Guhan said with a smile, "Take them back to Yanjing City first, when I get the Qingpin sword back, I will also return to Yanjing City!"
"You are talking nonsense!"
Hearing Guhan's relaxed words, Song Yifei raised his head angrily and looked at Guhan with a worried face. "If you only want to get the Qingpin sword back, you could have gotten it when you set off. Why did you have to come to this remote border to split yourself?"
"You don't just want to get the Qingpin sword back, you must know something, so you sent me away to enter that strange space."
"Why did you have to send me away?
I get it, it must be because it is very dangerous there, and you are afraid that I will be hurt, so you forced me to leave! "
"Although the monsters there are very strong, none of them is a match for you. I will not be in danger with your protection, but you still sent me away.
However, you still wanted to send me away. This means that the danger there is definitely not as simple as a few monsters. There must be an even greater danger there. "
"It's Sect Leader Tongtian. It must be Sect Leader Tongtian … You must know that Sect Leader Tongtian is going back soon, so you're here to ambush him. You want to assassinate …" Song Yifei was so smart that she could guess so many things in one breath. Unfortunately, she could not finish her words.
Because Guhan put Song Yifei and all the people here into the void, and at the same time, completely sealed the nearby void, so that Song Yifei could not come out.
"Yifei, if you really want to help me, then send these people back.
Otherwise, on the battlefield, I have to take care of your safety. You are not a helper to me, but a burden. Do you understand? "
Guhan's voice sounded in the void. After Song Yifei buried her head and cried for a long time, she stood up and said to the others in a hoarse voice, "Let's go, I will send you back!"
