Chapter 436: Recruitment
After having enough wine and dishes, Li Xiang finally put down the chopsticks in his hand.
“Brother Ye, Brother Fu, Brother Bu, I’m sure you’ve all heard about the announcement sent through the identity card. Not long after, the Kingdom of Dawn would face a great war. The enemies of this war wouldn’t just be the tens of thousands of Scorpion warriors. The small army wasn’t enough for me to worry. However, the major forces of the outsiders would launch a large-scale attack. It was hard to predict how many experts and troops there would be, but the number would not be small! If we’re not careful, the entire kingdom might be destroyed!”
“However, this war has nothing to do with you all. If you want to leave, you should leave before the enemy has a full response. With your strength, you should not be in any danger!”
Li Xiang told the three of them about the situation the Kingdom of Dawn was facing with a sincere tone.
After all, a war like this that required the cooperation and coordination of countless foreign races was not something that could be set up in just two or three days. Therefore, there was still time if they wanted to leave.
Of course, this only applied to those with Ye Qiu’s strength. Those who didn’t have much strength would only have a small chance of surviving in the wilderness even if there wasn’t such a big battle.
Ye Qiu slammed the table before Li Xiang could finish his sentence. His face changed and he said angrily, “Li Xiang, is this how they see us? Do you think we are afraid of death? I’ve never been afraid of killing foreign races. If I really leave today, how can I keep my head straight in the future?”
Fu Mingxue and Bu Qingyun also revealed displeased expressions.
“Brother Li, you don’t have to persuade us. The Kingdom of Dawn is the biggest country and the backbone of the human race. If it’s invaded by foreign races, then the human race will have no hope anymore. Therefore, we won’t leave no matter what!”
Fu Mingxue said a few more words, which was rare, to express his attitude and position.
Bu Qingyun, who was standing at the side, only nodded indifferently. He didn’t say a word. He just picked up a cup of wine and drank it in one gulp. His attitude was self-evident.
“Please don’t misunderstand. Li Xiang didn’t mean to humiliate you. It’s just that this is a matter of life and death. He just wants you to make your own decisions and not be tied down by friendship. If all of you are willing to stay, we will naturally be extremely happy. There is no doubt that the Kingdom of Dawn is friendly to all humans who are willing to resist the foreign races!” Yang Mi smiled and explained in a calm tone to ease the tense atmosphere.
Chen Shu also quickly said, “Yes! Please don’t blame Li Xiang. He’s not good with words. But what he meant was that he didn’t want you all to risk your lives for friendship. After all, this is a matter of life and death.”
Hearing this, the anger on Ye Qiu’s face immediately dissipated by half, and he sat down.
“I’m more than happy to welcome the three of you to stay. What do you think of my Kingdom of Dawn?”
Li Xiang didn’t say much and just asked casually.
Ye Qiu gave him a thumbs up and praised, “I have to say that the Kingdom of Dawn is the most prosperous and stable country I’ve ever seen. It can be described as a paradise for humans. Besides, the kingdom has a strong army and the people can all embark on the path of cultivation. The people here are strong and everyone is like a dragon. It will be the holy land of the human race in the future!”
To be honest, after Ye Qiu came here, he realized that everything here was beyond his imagination. He had an unprecedented sense of belonging and felt that this was indeed the holy land of the human race.
Fu Mingxue and Bu Qingyun didn’t say anything, but they nodded in agreement.
This was not their compliment but a recognition from the bottom of their hearts.
This kind of acknowledgment wasn’t mixed with any personal feelings. It was the result of personally witnessing the rapid changes in the people’s lives in the kingdom.
Ever since they came to the City of Dawn, they had been wandering around the city and even came into contact with the civilians. They learned about their lives and observed their daily lives. The more they understood, the more amazed they were.
Everyone here could cultivate. Just the mental state of these people was completely different from other countries. They were warm and cheerful, fearless in the face of difficulties, and even dared to fight against foreign races and fierce beasts. They were not afraid of death.
These qualities were not available to the vast majority of humans in the outside world.
The people of other countries were already filled with despair for the future and lived numbly each day. However, they could feel hope for the future here.
“The Kingdom of Dawn is indeed worthy of its name,” Bu Qingyun suddenly said, “It’s the hope of mankind. It’s also the first light of dawn after the end of the night!”
“Well said! This was what he meant! The people in other countries have a hard time and can’t see any hope at all. But the Kingdom of Dawn is like the hope of all humans!”
Li Xiang didn’t expect Ye Qiu and the others to have such a high evaluation of him. He felt a little embarrassed and waved his hand, “It’s not as good as you guys say! Besides, this is not my achievement alone. It’s the result of everyone’s hard work!”
Yang Mi and Chen Shu had proud smiles on their faces. Although Li Xiang was the one being praised, they were also proud!
They believed that under Li Xiang’s leadership, this place would become a holy land for the human race in the future. Countless people would yearn for it.
After the announcement was made, they saw the reactions of the people in various cities. They wanted to take their swords and fight against the foreign races. It could be said that they were quite unyielding.
They had never seen such people in other places, so it was a massive shock to the three of them.
After entering the city market and seeing the reactions of the outsiders, they found the people of the Kingdom of Dawn even more precious.
The Kingdom of Dawn, or rather, the Lord of Dawn, was the one who brought all this to the world.
After all, the people of all countries were the same. The only difference was their leaders, who brought them hope and courage.
“Brothers, are you willing to join the Kingdom of Dawn? We’ll work together for the sake of the hope of mankind!”
Li Xiang finally asked them to stay. He continued, “Ever since we descended upon the Myriad World Continent, countless humans have been reduced to food for the foreign races. Some were enslaved, and some were even turned into sacrificial offerings. The number of people who died tragically in the wilderness is uncountable. I didn’t set up the Kingdom of Dawn for glory and wealth. I only wanted to fight for a piece of land for the human race to live and work in peace.”
“Although the Kingdom of Dawn looks powerful, it hasn’t been established for long, and its foundation is not strong. Compared to the foreign kingdoms and forces that have existed for countless years, we’re still far behind.”
“Now, the kingdom lacks many human talents. I hope that you three will stay and build the country better together.”
Li Xiang’s sincere words moved the three of them slightly.
