Chapter 1237 Gathering Prisoners, Karma
"In the next battle, all warships must be used in a concentrated manner to continuously bombard the coalition forces with the strongest firepower, and try to kill the coalition forces as much as possible, in order to reduce the casualties of the army's attack."
Back in the flagship command room, Bai Qi said this to the four marshals including Gang Gukong, Wu Lei, Ying Ji, and his tone was full of determination.
"But what happened unexpectedly?"
Hearing Bai Qi's resolute words, Gang Gukong asked in doubt, which was also the common doubt of the three marshals.
"Your Majesty has an order saying that you don't want to see such huge casualties before the decisive battle."
"No way, we can only maximize our firepower advantage in the next battle."
Facing the doubts of the three colleagues, Bai Qi explained.
Now everyone understood at once that this was the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor.
Since this is the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor, there is absolutely no reason to disobey.
And as His Majesty the Emperor said, Daqian World has a profound background, and there are many strong people. It is absolutely impossible to win it after only one or two battles.
But in the first battle alone, the imperial army suffered more than 700,000 casualties.
Even though Daqin won a neat victory in the first battle with the Daqian coalition, you must know that the number of troops deployed by the coalition on the beach defense line was only over 500 million.
According to the information detection, the coalition forces have now gathered more than three billion forces, among which there are tens of millions of coalition elites with strong strength.
Calculated, the 500 million coalition forces caused 700,000 casualties to the imperial army, and the three billion coalition forces caused the imperial army to suffer more than 4 million casualties.
And this is only a minimum estimate.
Because from the start of the first battle to the end, the coalition forces have not used any means of mass destruction, and none of the top combat forces have been dispatched. God knows how many trump cards the coalition forces have.
According to the current situation, this first battle is just an appetizer, and the next battle and decisive battle will be the time when the coalition forces will really exert their strength.
And if you want to win from the beginning to the end, and finally win the entire war, the cost of casualties that the imperial army needs to pay is probably not less than tens of millions.
For casualties of this magnitude, the Empire is really unacceptable.
Thinking of this, the four marshals understood the good intentions of His Majesty the Emperor, and at the same time had new plans for the next war.
…
"The marshal has an order, all the captives should be assembled immediately and rushed to the Scorpion Wasteland after listening to it."
Just a quarter of an hour after the four marshals reached an agreement, an order carrying the will of the four marshals came out from the front-line headquarters, and spread throughout the entire army in a short period of time.
After receiving the order, the major legions did not dare to be careless, and immediately decided to send part of the army to escort the prisoners to the Scorpion Plain, five million miles ahead.
At the same time, the major legion commanders are also guessing that the move by the general headquarters will not be to execute or even directly kill these hundreds of millions of prisoners.
After all, Marshal Bai Qi, among the four marshals, is such a ruthless man!
But if you really want to do this, it is really hurtful.
The major generals have been in the army for many years and have experienced hundreds of battles. Over the years, the number of enemies who have died directly in the hands of the major generals is not 10,000 or 8,000, and there are millions of lives in the hands of the most slaughtered.
They have fought countless battles and killed countless people. Logically speaking, the generals of the empire should not have been so worried.
But the fact is quite the opposite.
If it is said to kill one hundred thousand, one million, or even ten million enemies, the generals of the empire will not frown.
After all, in the hearts of the vast majority of imperial generals, the interests of the empire will always come first, and they have no regrets in killing the enemy for the interests of the empire.
But the key is that this is not killing the enemy, but a massacre, a massacre that may target 400 million prisoners.
Once it is carried out, not to mention that the soldiers of the empire will feel great pressure, even the leading marshals will encounter great resistance when they are promoted to immortality in the future.
Even if it falls short, he will not be able to step into immortality in his entire life.
This is not an alarmist, it is the truth.
Slaughtering hundreds of millions of living beings is the practice of demons. It hurts the harmony of the world, and they are even more disdainful of them as soldiers of Daqin.
Of course, this is not the main reason, the main reason is that the cause and effect are too large.
After fighting the heavens for decades, they now know the existence of karma.
Karma, invisible, intangible, not between the virtual and the real, and not a product of reincarnation, but it does exist and affects every cultivator all the time.
Even the world of heaven has to admit this kind of existence.
Those with little or no karma have either amazing talent, deep fortune, or constant good fortune.
For those who are engulfed in karma or even monstrous, there are many obstacles in their cultivation, or few or even zero opportunities, or all kinds of bad luck follow one after another, and even wearing a green hat is extremely easy.
It can be said that the unlucky fuck opened the door for the unlucky, and the unlucky came home.
Under such circumstances, it is difficult not to have demons.
Don't look at the fact that there are countless middle and low-level cultivators in the heavens and the world. Even if they make a big killing, it doesn't matter, but this doesn't mean that karma is useless. It's just that their cultivation is too low.
Once the cultivation base reaches a certain level, karma will exert its terrifying effect, and will not let the karma-ridden person completely fall.
At that time, let alone transcending the immortal calamity, even transcending the immortal calamity is a life-and-nine death.
The criterion for judging karma is the number of innocent killings.
In essence, the casualties caused by mutual attacks in wars are normal casualties. Even if someone kills millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of enemies, there will be no karma added to them.
But if you wantonly slaughter innocent creatures and throw down the captives of swordsmen, then it is a murder, and karma will definitely come to you.
For this reason, Da Qin not only formulated regulations prohibiting slaughter in the imperial military law, but also made it a shame to kill innocent creatures and captives.
For this military rule, the Imperial Army has followed it extremely well.
After all, they have a brighter and longer-term future, and no one should make them unfortunate.
All this has led to the fact that for decades, no legion in Daqin has made massacres and prisoners.
Looking at the heavens and the world, such an army is also unique.
Therefore, if the four marshals decide to kill the prisoners, then they must not jointly oppose it.
This is not only for their own good, but also for the good of several marshals.
But the development of facts is often unexpected.
After the 400 million captives were escorted to the Scorpion Plain and concentrated, the order to slaughter the generals and fear the captives did not come.
Two meals a day are served as usual, and there is no punishment for it. In this way, it is controlled within a certain area and no longer managed. It seems that it is completely idle.
If it wasn't for the Qin army soldiers everywhere reminding them of their identities, they would have almost forgotten the fact that they are now prisoners.
