CHAPTER 461: CHAPTER 257: VARIABLES AND GAME THEORY! (PART 3)

"That’s right. My spirit feels like it’s being repeatedly roasted on the surface of the sun. Every second, I hear the fallen soldiers, bleeding incessantly, their bodies shattered, their souls drifting in the polluted zones, eventually merging into the Netherworld... In a sense, I am the murderer who killed them."

This candid admission left the Tai Monarch speechless for a long time.

The hall suddenly fell into silence, the sound of pin drops could be heard.

"When I was in school, my tactics teacher was General Han Qingyu of the Sixth Battle Group. During one assignment, I was severely criticized by him."

Feng Wuyang seemed to become interested in talking and slowly spoke:

"It was a simulation test to clear a polluted area. Under my command, I had two regiments responsible for the assault and sweep.

At the start, things went smoothly, but midway, a squad of twenty-eight people got lost in the danger zone.

Because we were in a very advantageous position, I thought using double the amount of troops would be sufficient to rescue the squad and at the same time form a sharp attempt that pierced directly into the heart.

But I miscalculated. General Han Qingyu deliberately included the ’Natural Assassins’ clan known as the Black Blade. They had a strong concealment ability, using the terrain to entrap my forces and create the illusion of total annihilation.

To provoke me and affect my judgment, they even abused the corpses of the warriors, displaying quite horrifying behavior.

They achieved their goal; on one hand, continuously maintaining my favorable position, I couldn’t accept the sudden disadvantage and feared score deductions. On the other hand, I was indeed very furious, wishing to kill that bunch of bastards."

The Tai Monarch listened patiently. In fact, by retrieving Feng Wuyang’s academic scores, the results had already surfaced in the data sea.

Yet, the Tai Monarch said nothing, extraordinarily abandoning the innate indifferent sentiment of the active consciousness entity, his eyes becoming gentle as if encountering a friend on a rainy night.

"I took the bait. As my forces continued to dwindle and casualties kept mounting, I was like a manic patient with immense strength, intending to swing fists and kicks at the air.

My mistake led to the pollution zone’s defense line being torn apart. The followers’ biological group underwent seven relocations and four counterattacks, with intensity rising sharply.

All the participants in that simulation test were judged as failed.

General Han Qingyu seriously told me, Feng Wuyang, that if someone as soft as you became a decision-maker on the battlefield, he would certainly complain to the Military Department, considering it a deliberate creation of a massacre."

Laughing heartily, Feng Wuyang said:

"Later, I became the Planet Governor and once met General Han Qingyu in the Imperial Capital during his duties. He told me that when my name entered the Military Department, he did write an advisory letter, declaring my poor performance in military school.

But my superior, a good teacher even before retiring as just a regiment-level officer, also formally replied to General Han Qingyu.

He said, it’s true that kindness shouldn’t command soldiers, but valuing each life and not treating soldiers headed to the front line as expendables is also an excellent manifestation.

Colonel Feng in numerous major exercises sought to exchange the maximum results with the least casualties.

General Han, this child, even when reprimanded by you, did not change his nature but tried to pursue a more perfect choice.

Please believe that the flame of civilization in Dongxia burns brightly across the Galaxy not just because we have the Nine Marshals, nor the Four Pillars..."

Feng Wuyang stood up, the bright light casting his shadow long on the immense war sandbox.

"I will not leave the aftermath of the Star God to the descendants, nor will I let every life sacrificed for great expansion die meaninglessly.

Exchanging twenty percent for a hundred percent success is like a foolish dream.

But including myself, it can increase to forty percent, thus having a chance at victory."
