Chapter 249 The Belief of the Pioneers

As Li Tianran's roar echoed in the Pioneers' headsets, the despair and fear in their hearts began to gradually diminish, and their breathing became heavy.

Yes, our homes were destroyed, and we lost our loved ones. We had nothing. We begged the powerful nations, but were met with merciless abandonment and ridicule.

But from the moment we grasped our blades and truly began to decide our own fate, we swore that our fate would be changed by our own hands. We no longer begged anyone for help or pity. We would prove that even relying on ourselves, we could survive any desperate situation and achieve victory!

Just like the countless blood-colored banners planted in the ruined cities, they proclaimed our rebirth!

"In this battle, we can only win, we cannot lose!"

Li Tianran's voice was very deep in the headset: "Our homes have been destroyed once, and our loved ones have been massacred once..."

"Do we want to experience it a second time?"

At this moment, all the Pioneers who heard this sentence felt their bodies go numb. They felt a surge of heat rising from their chests, rushing straight to their brains!

The Pioneers looked towards Kuangxi Island.

Yes, they were all survivors whose homes and loved ones had been destroyed by beast tides and wars, struggling in despair and experiencing the most desperate pain!

And the appearance of Li Tianran allowed them to escape this suffering!

The emergence of Kuangxi Island gave them a second home, allowing them to regain a sense of belonging and honor!

They would never allow anyone, beast, or thing to destroy their... home!

"No!"

Without any communication, all the Pioneers roared in unison, their roars resounding through the sky, piercing the clouds, like rolling thunder!

"Anyone who wants to destroy my second home, I will cut off its head!"

"Fiona and I have already decided to spend our lives on the island, and Instructor Lu even said he would hold our wedding on the island, and I'm still waiting to be assigned a house!" A burly Pioneer roared, his eyes bloodshot, "Anyone who dares to ruin my happy life, I'll fight them to the death!"

"My father and children can't join the legion because of their age. They live on the island, and that's the last light in my life! I will never allow anything to try to destroy it!"

The Pioneers roared, they had experienced tragic lives and separations, so they could better appreciate how lucky and happy they were to live on Kuangxi Island!

And now, a disaster was about to destroy this island...

They would not allow it!

Even if there were millions of monsters, even if there were tens of millions of monsters, so what?

I will personally guard my home, and before I die, I will never allow any monster to pass through my defense line and destroy that island!

The Pioneers' fighting spirit reached its peak.

Morale is a very strange thing. It cannot be seen or touched, but it is real and plays a pivotal role in war.

Six million monsters would make any national army tremble and lose the courage to resist, because facing such a huge numerical advantage, it was almost a certain defeat!

Even the Pioneers would lose confidence in the face of such a large enemy.

In this war, Kuangxi Island itself was not at an advantage. If the Pioneers lost their confidence in the battle, then there would really be no chance of winning.

What Li Tianran had to do was to reverse the Pioneers' mentality.

A warrior with faith or conviction is completely different from a mercenary in terms of tenacity and combat effectiveness. This has been repeatedly verified in history!

Before the Yanhuang Federation was founded, the Sakura Country launched a shameless invasion with its own military advantages. In order to protect their homes and loved ones, the people of the Federation showed amazing retaliatory power. Without weapons, they used farm tools to fight the enemy!

Without fortresses, they used their bodies to resist enemy tanks!

Without supports, they used their hands to hold up explosive packs! They blocked machine guns with their chests!

In that war, the fearlessness shown by the people of the Federation shocked the world. Many strategic experts believed that even soldiers who had received the highest level of war education would find it difficult to do such a thing. They could not understand how the backward army of the Federation at that time possessed such willpower.

And after research, they came to a conclusion.

The origin of all the willpower of these warriors came from four words.

Protect the home!

Defend the country (family)!

Because they knew that behind them were their homes and loved ones. Once this war failed, their homes would be reduced to ashes, and their loved ones would be brutally slaughtered!

And for the sake of their homes and loved ones, they would rather give up their lives and fight to the death!

Even in the face of the most ferocious enemies and the most powerful weapons, they would not take a step back!

This is... the power of belief.

Could mercenaries who do things for money be so fearless and so heroic?

This is also why Li Tianran has been using various methods for a long time to make the Pioneers feel a sense of belonging to Kuangxi Island!

Because people treat "companies" and "homes" in completely different ways.

If the Pioneers only regarded their relationship with Kuangxi Island as a company dormitory, then when they heard that eight million beast tides were coming, they might turn around and run away.

But when the Pioneers regard Kuangxi Island as their home, even if the number of beast tides is doubled, they will still fearlessly raise their knives and fight to the death!

"This is our home, we built it together, and now, let's defend it together." Li Tianran said softly into the headset, "Everyone, after this war is won, there will be nothing in the world that can threaten us anymore."

"Join me in creating history."

Li Tianran raised the steel knife in his hand and pointed it at the distant sea: "Let the enemy come!"

"And then... grant them death!"

…

In the Prime Minister's office of Country Y.

The secretary said urgently: "The beast tide is about to come into contact with the Kuangxi Island defense line, but Li Tianran's troops still haven't sent us a call for help... If the war starts, intercontinental missiles will be severely restricted. Once Li Tianran really dies, or really survives this war, then we will be very passive! The other party will double, or even increase tenfold or a hundredfold, the price and control of the Transformation Fruit!"

"If we propose fire support now, we can still get some profit and Li Tianran's favor! Although it won't be as high as the EU said!"

"Please make a decision quickly. I always feel that the war is about to begin!"

The head of Country Y stared at the satellite monitoring screen, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and gritted his teeth: "Wait a little longer! Wait a little longer!"

"I don't believe that Li Tianran really dares to fight against this group of huge monsters by himself!"
