Chapter: 6552

He knew that Lin Wan'er was speaking very objectively and realistically.

One unexpected move, one feint attack to the east.

After these two moves, Wu Feiyan would not give herself another chance to retreat fully.

By then, if he wanted to wipe out the remaining soldiers again, it would be difficult to take them away.

This way, he would face a choice.

Ultimately, is it to strike down the Clearwater Sect's stronghold and eliminate its living forces, disregarding the lives of those prisoners, or is it to spare the prisoners and their families by abandoning the attack on the stronghold?

It seemed that whichever choice he made, it wouldn't feel quite right.

At this moment, Ye Chen asked Lin Wan'er, "If I give them a cure, let them escape on their own?"

Ultimately, would it be to eliminate the Clearwater Sect's stronghold and its living forces, disregarding the lives of those prisoners, or to spare their lives by abandoning the attack on the stronghold?

Those mercenaries almost never lived in society, had no legal identity, and didn't possess any production data. Even if I gave them a cure and let them escape on their own, they would probably have a hard time evading Pursuit of the Clearwater Sect, and it's unrealistic to expect each person to carry several suitcases with cash. Of course, the Clearwater Sect might not be able to eliminate all of them, and some people might still gain freedom. However, out of ten people, not everyone would survive.

She asked Lin Wan'er, "If I were to give them a cure and then pass the problem on to the local government? The local government should be able to protect their safety."

Lin Wan'er thought for a moment and said, "This kind of thing is considered a major embarrassment to any country's national security, regardless of who it is. Whoever would keep it hidden and not make an announcement, and these mercenaries are not even citizens of the country where they are. I'm not sure if those countries would protect them or drive them out. In that case, the danger would be even greater."

As she said this, Lin Wan'er continued, "If we look at this issue with mercy, you only need to ask Li Long to help, using his detective consciousness and AI model calculations, as well as the data and monitoring capabilities of the Heavenly Line. You can then give these intelligence reports to the local government, as long as they haven't been completely infiltrated by the Clearwater Sect. At that time, without your intervention, those countries' governments and military would naturally eliminate their stronghold... "

Ye Chen's pupils suddenly constricted, furrowing his brow and saying, "In this case, these mercenaries and cavalry will basically only have one road to death. Because once Wu Feiyun decides to sacrifice her arm for survival, she might not need to take action against these mercenaries. She could simply abandon the stronghold, ignore it, and let the mercenaries and cavalry be taken care of by the local government."

As he spoke, Ye Chen sighed and said, "If we use this method, those mercenaries and cavalry will ultimately have no way out but death."

Lin Wan'er nodded lightly and said, "The mercenaries and their families might amount to tens of thousands or even more. You need to face reality; saving one by one is impossible."

Ye Chen's subconscious thoughts echoed Lin Wan'er's words, saying, "I understand what you're saying, but when it comes to the lives of tens of thousands people, I can't bear to abandon them to their fate."

Lin Wan'er sighed and said loudly, "You're not a god; don't take on too much pressure. The mercenaries' fate may be pitiful, but those innocent people who died at their hands are even more tragic. Over the centuries, the mercenaries have been troubled by Wu Feiyun, and although they have suffered greatly, when faced with innocent people, they become even more ruthless and violent. Many crimes I've witnessed firsthand; it's hard to put into words. Even if we hand them over to the law, many will still be subjected to extreme punishment. That's why I implore you not to be too lenient towards them and don't let your benevolence put yourself in danger."

As she finished speaking, Lin Wan'er's heart was resolute: "You have a kind heart; if you can't make this decision, then let me do the dirty work!"

Ye Chen listened to Lin Wan'er's words, pondered for a long time, and suddenly thought of something. He opened his mouth and asked, "Miss Lin, if I can take control of the Right General's Military Command, then the soldiers under its command will also be at my disposal. I won't have to rush to provide treatment for these soldiers, as Wu Feiyun will continue to supply them anyway."

Lin Wan'er's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light. She spoke out of turn, "Wu Feiyun has always been unpredictable and hard to find, even if you're the General of the Five Great Military Commanderies. If you really have the chance to take control of the Right General's Military Command, Wu Feiyun might have difficulty finding out."

She then expressed some concern, saying, "The people from the Wu family are Wu Feiyun's true descendants. As far as I know, they have all undergone some sort of cultivation, even if they haven't received any innate talent. If you want to control their minds, you'll need to understand their specific cultivation conditions. And if someone like me is involved, your plan will be very difficult to push forward."

Ye Chen nodded his head and said, "If I can confirm the identity of the Right General's Military Command this time, I can try to find a breakthrough from him."

The long journey through the dark night, which Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er experienced after taking the Longevity Elixir, made them feel barely exhausted at all. JrNovels.com
