CHAPTER 1849: CHAPTER 882: APPEARANCE REFLECTS THE HEART (PART 3)

Even if some people are not suited for the battlefield, they are all craftsmen with a skill. As long as they have suitable job opportunities, they can also support themselves and bring wealth to the General."

"General, you may not be aware of this. Last year, when the Tukan People invaded the Soaring Dragon, they completely destroyed my hometown. My parents, wife, children, eighteen family members in total, all died in the chaos. I was the only one who barely survived.

I have no home to return to. My only goal in living is to take revenge on the Tukan People. I beg you, General, allow me to stay and give me a chance for revenge."

"Many of us served the Tukan People under duress. Many of our family members were not killed but were taken by the Tukan People to be used as leverage against us. These women and children remain in the Endless Wilderness, and until we can rescue our families, we will go nowhere.

We beg you, General, to help rescue our families. As long as you can help us rescue them, we are willing to be your indentured servants for generations, to repay your kindness of regeneration."

"We also hope you will take us in, giving us a chance to live."

General Hu’s words immediately woke up those Soaring Dragon Officers.

The other side was clearly advancing by retreating, seizing upon their current awkward situation and delivering the most compelling words.

Next, it depends on how they perform. In this manner, offense and defense suddenly undergo a one hundred and eighty-degree reversal.

It’s no longer the other side proactively seeking to incorporate them, but rather them beseeching the other side to take them in.

The matter remains the same, but the nature is completely different.

"Oh? There are actually such matters?" Gaven was instantly interested. This was brand new information. He hurriedly asked, "Do you know how many Soaring Dragon people were coerced?"

"As for the exact number, I’m afraid no one can say clearly. After the Tukan People broke the borders, they penetrated three hundred kilometers along the Road of Enlightenment, their troops sweeping across four provinces, affecting tens of millions of people, driving countless Soaring Dragon people into the Endless Wilderness like cattle, to be their beasts of burden.

At least a million Soaring Dragon people became their slaves last year.

How many can survive until now is hard to say, because the Tukan People do not regard them as humans, treating them even lower than cattle, but there should still be several hundred thousand."

The one responding to Gaven was still General Hu. He was born and raised at the border, and knew well the situations of both the Soaring Dragon people and the Tukan People.

Hundreds of thousands!

Gaven’s heart involuntarily skipped a beat.

If he could bring all these Soaring Dragon people to the Felen Continent, it would be enough to create a brand-new race here.

Even incorporating some traditional customs from the Planting Family from Earth would come naturally.

After all, in terms of culture and racial character, the Soaring Dragon people are very similar to the ancient Huaxia people.

Of course, this was just a personal small wish, a side effect. What truly mattered to him was those Soaring Dragon people’s inherent farming disposition, which was most complementary to his own.

These Soaring Dragon people also had unique traits. Previously, when they broke through the Army Formation Soul of Mosantiel City, not only was he interested, but those Haslan Witches were as well.

This is one of the reasons they fully supported him in forming the Far East Heavy Cavalry.

The Army Formation Soul of the Tukan People was also learned from the Soaring Dragon people. It is believed that in the hands of the original owners, it should unleash even more formidable power.

This was already beginning to show in the Totem Dreamscape when these Soaring Dragon people donned the Far East Bright Armor, with many small techniques emerging in this process that those Tukan People did not possess.

The Tukan People would not equip such a powerful weapon like the Far East Bright Armor to the Soaring Dragon Slave Soldiers, nor would these Soaring Dragon Slave Soldiers voluntarily tell the Tukan People their secrets.

Though his heart was already tempted, Gaven’s face was full of solemnity and hesitation, "If they were gathered in one place, we could rescue them by sending troops to attack.

But according to your account, these Soaring Dragon people were clearly scattered into countless large and small tribes, making it much more difficult to rescue them.

Not to mention whether we can find these tribes in the Endless Wilderness, even if we find and rescue them, how can we safely bring them all out of the Endless Wilderness?"

General Hu’s face, weathered beyond his actual years, was full of steadfastness as he spoke powerfully: "I know this is not an easy task, but no matter how perilous or difficult, I will do my utmost to see it through.

Because they are my family, my people, the ones I swore to protect. I cannot sit idly by."

"General Hu speaks well, this is also my intention. Count me in for this mission."

"Count me in as well."

"I am also willing to go through fire and water for this cause, without hesitation."

Other Soaring Dragon Officers also expressed their stance, for both personal gain and for the greater good.

Seeing their resolve strengthen, their voices unite, Gaven then timely offered his bait: "If you truly wish to achieve this, I do have a plan with a higher success rate than going deep into the Endless Wilderness to rescue them."

"Where does this plan stem from?"

"What brilliant plan does the General have? Why not share it publicly?"

"We beg you, General, to save our families."

The Soaring Dragon Officers all followed Gaven’s lead, requesting earnestly. Although they knew it was the bait deliberately dangled by the other side, they had no choice but to bite, as they indeed had no better plan and could only pin their hopes on the other motives Gaven had.
