Today, the Taizu has long since passed away, and the God of War has also fallen asleep beside the imperial tombs in the capital city. Then, is there no one left who can stand up

"Could it be that we can only silently endure the humiliation inflicted by the Liao army, watching them trample our homes, bully our women, and kill our children!"

Li Chen's words resonated deeply with many people.

The soldiers of Yueya Guan, for the most part, were local people passed down through generations. They had suffered humiliation at the hands of the Liao army, and each one bore a deep-seated blood feud with the Liao nation.

Were it not for this hatred, no one could bear the harsh environment of Yueya Pass, nor could anyone withstand such immense pressure from the Liao army's repeated attacks.

Every word Li Chen spoke was based on their personal experiences.

My home was trampled, my wife and daughters were humiliated, and my child was murdered.

These, every one of them, is worth a slightly bloody normal man fighting for.

"No!"

Then, someone yelled out of the blue. Immediately after, there was a wave of voices shouting "No!" one after another, creating an overwhelming chorus of dissent.

"No!"

"No!"

"No!"

"Indeed not!"

Li Chen let out a roar, saying: "The Taizu is gone, the God of War has passed away, but you still have the imperial court, the royal family, and this palace! Most importantly, you still have weapons in your hands!"

After twenty years of separation, the Qin army marches out of the pass again!

Li Chen shouted, "Fellow warriors, in this world, there are difficult tasks: climbing to heaven, moving mountains, filling the sea. These are all things that one might spend an entire lifetime trying to achieve but never succeed. But as long as your hearts remain united, then no enemy can stop your advance!"

Li Chen's words, each one like a heavy hammer, pounded on the hearts of these thousand elite soldiers.

They were flushed with excitement, their bodies trembling.

I feel my blood boiling, I can't wait to rush out and fight the Liao army to my heart's content.

All of this was within Li Chen's sight.

Li Chen knew that the morale of these soldiers had been roused by him.

But, that is not enough.

Then Li Chen continued, “Joining the army and serving your country is a way to fulfill your duty and live up to the heroic spirit of a man. But everyone has parents, wives, and children, and no one can escape the allure of fame and fortune. That's why the imperial court grants you official positions and salaries.”

“These are all what you have paid for on the battlefield, shedding your heads and blood, exchanging your lives for them. Perhaps you would say that you only want to serve your country with loyalty, but the court cannot ignore your sacrifices. Every drop of blood and every bead of sweat you shed must have value.”

"Same as tonight!"

Li Chen's eyes were blazing, and he said loudly, "This palace will not deceive you. I won't tell you that this mission is easy to execute, instead, this palace will tell you the truth."

Of the thousand of you who go out, few may return, and it is even possible that your entire army could be destroyed. After all, you will be facing 600,000 Liao iron cavalry and the entire logistical network of the Liao kingdom behind them.

"You go out with your heads held high, and this palace will not allow heroes to shed tears after their blood has already been spilled."

"Here, I promise you all, for every soldier who sets out today, military merit will be tripled, and casualties will be compensated fivefold. As long as you complete your mission and return safely, everyone will be promoted three ranks on the spot."

These words have already stirred up all the soldiers.

After all, humans are not saints, and no one can refuse such a great benefit.
