Although Liu Ning's current status is not low, and he has a certain standing in human society, he is still young and has no reputation in human society. If Liu Ning were to promote this matter, the effect would probably not be significant. It would be necessary to rely on these high-ranking individuals. The city lord and Zhao Wudi are different; they are not only famous in this city but also hold considerable positions outside. Therefore, if these two are willing to handle this matter, many people outside will definitely know about the situation here, including many political figures. Without so many upright people, how could humanity have developed to this point? They would probably have been wiped out by ferocious beasts long ago. Everyone is well aware of this. What Liu Ning needs to do now is to unite these political figures.
The city lord nodded. He had witnessed everything. Although he was somewhat angry with Zhao Wudi earlier, Liu Ning was right. If this was kept secret, it wouldn't be good for many people; they might do something even more outrageous. Therefore, everyone had to understand that figures like Watanabe Taro absolutely could not be allowed to appear. They could even alter the human genetic blueprint. If they were allowed to do so, future humans might look like all sorts of things, which would cross many people's bottom line. Were we going to live with monsters in the future? Thinking of this, both Zhao Wudi and the city lord felt a chill run down their spines. Such a thing absolutely could not happen, and it absolutely could not be allowed to continue.
After finishing these tasks, Liu Ning returned to the military camp, where many family members were waiting. When they received the notification, their entire families were almost in despair. Liu Ning couldn't go over to talk to them because many were extremely angry. They were originally ordinary people, but Liu Ning had turned them into soldiers, and now he had made them into physical beings. However, many of them were also very understanding. Their family members had sacrificed their lives, but those sacrifices were not in vain. They also understood the current situation. As long as they sacrificed for humanity, it meant that they were very valuable. Of course, there were also some people who didn't understand. They were crying and making a scene. Liu Ning asked his men to be patient with them, after all, their families had just lost someone.
Compared to other armies, Liu Ning's pension was already very high. Anyone receiving this pension could basically live a happy life. Of course, that was just Liu Ning's wishful thinking. If these people had a choice, they would rather their families didn't receive the pension; they still wanted to be reunited with their families. But unfortunately, that was impossible. When that guy confessed, many soldiers were destined never to return home. Looking at these grieving families, Liu Ning didn't know what to say. It was all because of him. If he had ordered them to retreat earlier, perhaps this tragedy wouldn't have happened. Liu Ning felt extremely uncomfortable, and tears involuntarily streamed down his face. Of course, the soldiers around him didn't say anything; he was a very emotional commander.
"Don't be so sad. I know you're upset. It's not really your fault. Nobody really knows what this thing is like. If you insist on taking the blame, it's unfair to you. You need to understand that. If you continue like this, you'll never get over it. Now you need to do something else. Now that you know how they died, you need to take some remedial measures. For example, buy them some more important equipment to enhance their protective capabilities. It's much better than just worrying here. How do you know they won't take on similar missions in the future? Protective equipment will be very important if they do."
Wang Fang approached Liu Ning and, seeing his displeasure, felt somewhat annoyed as well. However, Liu Ning did bear some responsibility for the situation; he couldn't be entirely blameless, or he would feel even more uncomfortable. What Liu Ning needed now was a way out, and that way had to be justified. What Wang Fang said made sense, giving Liu Ning a glimmer of hope. He could indeed do something for them. Although he had equipped them with good weapons, they weren't the best; after all, he hadn't had the capability before, and he didn't know how much money it would cost. But now it was different. Liu Ning was now incredibly powerful and could make a difference with his men; their protective gear could even be upgraded.
“You’re absolutely right. I shouldn’t be grieving here. I’ll leave this to you. I’ve seen their protective gear before. While it’s decent by social standards and can protect them from attacks by ferocious beasts outside the city, it’s not enough to guarantee their survival in certain situations, like yesterday. So I want to upgrade their gear. I don’t care how much it costs, as long as their lives are safe. Losing 1,800 people like that, do you know how much it hurts me? There are so many people here, like 1,800 families. It’s like a thousand-pound burden on my heart, making it hard to breathe. We can’t let this happen again.”
Liu Ning said with great sorrow that he now had a strong and well-equipped army, and plenty of funds, so improving the lives of his men was no problem. Wang Fang nodded in agreement, knowing that Liu Ning wasn't just concerned about the money. As for what was to come, Wang Fang had already anticipated that these soldiers would learn from this lesson and would train them more rigorously in the future. No one changes overnight; they all experience painful experiences before they change. Just like now, with the loss of 1,800 soldiers, the entire guard battalion understood that if they didn't train hard, no matter what they wore, they could still lose their lives. Don't think this place is safe.
