False Court
Chapter 1701 Faith
Looking closely, all who came were Star Ring City and various national military officers, most of them wearing mechanical armor stained with blood.
Some were even leaning on mechanical crutches, enduring their injuries to come.
Everyone's face was filled with indescribable fatigue, but their eyes revealed a glimmer of anticipation.
At this moment, in the front row, Wang Hai, with bandages wrapped around his right shoulder, kept staring at the empty podium. Then, Wang Hai's companion, looking weary, spoke.
"Lord Wang Hai, do you think Lord Icarus will really tell us what we are doing?"
"She should, but I'm a little scared."
Wang Hai's voice trembled slightly.
The surrounding Federal officers were stunned and looked at Wang Hai.
"Lord Wang Hai?"
"I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that the sacrifice of our comrades will be meaningless. If that's the case, we might as well not have come to listen."
Wang Hai said, gritting his teeth.
Everyone was very nervous upon hearing Wang Hai's words.
Sometimes the collapse of faith is more terrifying than death.
Before long, Icarus appeared on the podium in Grace Square, causing a stir in the crowd.
Everyone perked up and looked at Icarus.
On the podium, Icarus's cold gaze swept across the face of everyone present.
To be honest, the bleak scene before her made Icarus feel a pang of sadness.
Then, she slowly raised her hand and saluted everyone.
"Thank you very much for your dedication. Being able to stand here is an honor for Star Ring City. Star Ring City is proud of you!"
Instantly, the many exhausted officers on the scene and the defense officers listening on the public channel were filled with excitement. They were being acknowledged!
Icarus then said to everyone.
"I know you are confused, and I understand the helplessness of watching your comrades fall one by one! I didn't want to tell you what we were doing, but someone told me I could trust you. So, I decided to be honest. I solemnly declare here that the Twilight of the Gods project we are currently carrying out is aimed at destroying Negative God Star. The reason for destroying Negative God Star is that Negative God Star is very unstable and is about to explode! When that happens, it will affect the entire universe, and no one can stay out of it. As pioneers, we are participating in this Heaven's Cup, fighting against the heavens, to solve this major malignant tumor."
"Everything we do is not just for ourselves, but more for all the relatives behind us, for the continuation of the race, and to create a clear and blue living environment for future generations. And you don't have to worry about anything. Vice City Lord Gorie has already organized a major migration. All your relatives are on their way out of the Negative Universe."
"Whether we succeed or not, history will remember your contributions."
"I, Icarus, am proud of you! You are all great."
"I will fight alongside you to the end!"
By the end of the speech, Icarus's eyes were also wet.
Although most of the people present were from low-level civilizations, their indomitable spirit deeply moved her.
In an instant, all the officers and soldiers in Grace Square erupted, and everyone shouted loudly.
"We swear to follow Lord Icarus to the death!"
......
At this moment, all the officers and soldiers who fought bravely seemed to see a dazzling sun. Their eyes were no longer confused, and the confusion lingering in their hearts completely dissipated.
They understood what cause they were giving their lives for, and they understood that the sacrifices of all their fallen comrades were not in vain.
Although their current situation would not change as a result, at this moment, they completely regained their pride and belief.
Therefore, everything they did was meaningful.
In the corner, Su Mo leaned against the wall, watching the boiling scene, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
The deep voice of Creator Devourer sounded in Su Mo's mind.
"Belief seems to be very ethereal and illusory, but sometimes it is more powerful than any weapon. It seems you've won your bet."
"That's what I think too."
Su Mo communicated silently with Xiao Shi.
"But you're really lucky to be able to persuade that crazy woman, Icarus. You know, she's always been arbitrary."
"Icarus isn't unreasonable or inhumane either. The main reason she doesn't accept other people's words is because what they say isn't convincing. In her eyes, it's just wrong and foolish."
"Patting yourself on the back."
Xiao Shi snorted coldly.
"Haha."
Su Mo's mood became more and more smooth. Just like what his grandfather told him before his death, everyone will die one day, but death is not terrible. What's terrible is that you come to this world and leave nothing behind, and eventually be forgotten.
......
Icarus raised her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
The boiling scene instantly calmed down.
Icarus raised her hand, placed it on her chest, and said, "Although we are now encountering various difficulties and desperate situations, I believe we will create miracles, and history will remember us. Our deeds will be immortal!"
"Lord Icarus!"
......
The crowd cheered and shouted Icarus's name.
Amidst the loud cheers, Icarus finished her speech and walked straight down from the podium.
The officers and soldiers in the entire Grace Square gave way to a wide avenue.
They stood straight and saluted Icarus.
Icarus walked on the wide avenue, her eyes becoming more and more firm.
......
After Icarus left, this grand speech came to an end.
The crowd dispersed.
As Su Mo was about to leave, he inadvertently saw Wang Hai and others in the crowd.
His eyes lit up, and he walked over. As he approached,
Su Mo called out.
"Wang Hai!"
Wang Hai and others heard the familiar voice, stopped and turned around, and saw Su Mo walking towards them.
"Su Mo!"
Wang Hai and the others shouted excitedly.
Su Mo stepped forward and gave Wang Hai a big hug, and said with a smile, "Surprise?"
"Surprise, how did you get here? We haven't seen you or your tracks before. We asked a lot of people, and they all said they didn't see you. We thought you didn't participate in this operation."
Wang Hai said very happily.
"I knew that Lord Su Mo couldn't possibly not come."
Zhao Bo echoed excitedly from the side.
Su Mo turned his head to look at Zhao Bo, also very surprised. He reached out and patted Zhao Bo's shoulder.
"Why are you here too!"
"Lord Su Mo, what are you saying? Why can't I be here? I was one of the earliest members of the GT department with you. It's not just me here, Ke Lief and the others are also here."
Zhao Bo said confidently.
