Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 768

Chapter 768: Chapter 765: The Clear and Forceful Sound_1

On the Dianjiang Terrace of Shuoyang’s training ground, Bai Qingping surveyed the flickering fire pans swaying in the wind, listened to the flapping black sails and white mamba banner, and felt a sudden surge of heroism in his heart.

Unfortunately, he was weak, unable to fight alongside Bai Qingyan on the battlefield. This was Bai Qingping’s lifelong regret.

Some of the Bai Clan’s brave men wanted to go to the Daliang battlefield with Bai Qingyan, but they were all restrained by their elders under the banner of filial piety and not allowed to go.

Hearing the sound of hooves outside the training ground, Bai Qingping turned his body toward the entrance of the ground. Seeing the rider on the white horse, Bai Qingping hurriedly leaped off the Dianjiang Terrace, almost failing to suppress his urge to run toward the entrance.

Twenty guards of the Bai family followed Bai Qingyan, charging forward on horseback to the front of Dianjiang Terrace before pulling on the reins to stop.

Bai Qingping, worried about Bai Qingyan’s health, quickly stepped forward, grabbed the reins and extended his hand to help her down the horse. Bai Qingyan shook her head and pulled the reins, riding forward.

She surveyed the five thousand soldiers on the training ground, clad in armor, holding heavy shields or spears, or broadswords, forming ranks. They showed considerable military discipline, their armors reflecting a cold light in the high fire pans.

Bai Qingyan pulled on the reins, and her steed snorted heavily, coming to a halt in front of the Dianjiang Terrace.

The entire training ground was solemn and silent, with five thousand soldiers’ eyes fixed on the woman in silver armor on horseback.

"In the past, we gathered here to wipe out bandits, to ensure that those mountain bandits dared not plunder our people! But today, we are setting out on an expedition to Daliang, facing not bandits but Daliang’s well-trained army! Yesterday, when I announced that the Shuoyang Army would go on an expedition to Daliang, I heard... someone said the Shuoyang Army was just a bunch of rabble assembled by me, Bai Qingyan. We could easily defeat bandits, but facing Daliang’s army, we would be knocked out of our wits!"

"But you are my soldiers! Trained by the Bai family! There are no cowards in the Bai family! Nor are there cowards among the Bai family’s soldiers! We could easily defeat bandits, and we will easily defeat Daliang as well!" Bai Qingyan raised her hand, pointing to the replaced black sails and white mamba banners around the training ground. "The Bai family army has never been defeated. The one time we nearly suffered a total loss was due to our own people’s vile plots. Even so, the Bai family and the Bai family army’s commitment to protect the people has never changed!"

"Some ask: If the Bai family army is for protecting the people, why do we need to go on an expedition to Daliang, to conquer another country? Today, I will tell you why! It’s for unifying the world! To make this world free of wars! To see no more homes empty and families broken, no more farmlands abandoned, no more unburied skeletal remains! The Bai family army must protect peace and the people! We will not die in battle, nor will we remove our armor! Are you all willing to fight to the death with me?"

Bai Qingyan’s voice was majestic and resonant, shaking all directions.

Cai Ziyuan, upon hearing Bai Qingyan’s words, was stirred, feeling the desire to fight alongside her on the battlefield despite being a scholar.

"We will not die in battle, nor will we remove our armor!"

"We will not die in battle, nor will we remove our armor!"
