Long Qian Xing and Song Yun Xiang stopped discussing this matter and walked to the residences there to talk.

“The wall’s construction is really fast,” Long Qian Xing said as they walked.

He had already seen the long walls built and was actually very surprised. Because Long Qian Xing thought that this was a project that would take at least a few years to finish. With how long the north border of Fei Yang Kingdom is, Long Qian Xing felt that it was more reasonable.

“There are three architects leading along with a lot of war prisoners working to build the wall,” Song Yun Xiang said slowly. “Is it possible for the construction to take that long?”

It has been two years or so since the project started since last year. Now, many walls had been erected and it could be said that they have better defense against the northern tribe.

Long Qian Xing was stunned. “Still…”

Are you planning to work these war prisoners to death?

The remaining sentence remain unsaid and Long Qian Xing was silent. He knew very well that many people didn’t have the so called human rights in this era and war prisoners were among them.

Many of them were used as slaves and even if they died, no one would care for them.

It was really tragic.

At the same time, Long Qian Xing also knew that it was impossible for him to change things overnight. Slaves existed in this world and many servants were treated as nothing more than slaves, especially if they had sighed death contract with them.

Some people with status abused their power.

And this was something that Long Qian Xing had seen very often when he came to this world.

No, even in their previous world, there were some annoying people.

“There are simply too many war prisoners and if they could survive long enough, they can return,” Song Yun Xiang said calmly. “Unfortunately, it’s not that easy for them to come back.”

Since Fei Yang Kingdom had already taken war prisoners ever since they conquered Wei Da Kingdom, a few years have already passed. The time set for the earlier war prisoners had come and they were sent to their respective hometown.

Through this incident, the others knew that as long as they did their work well and could survive, they would be able to return to their home.

So most of them were doing their work obediently.

Even though so, the work as a war prisoner was very big and Song Yun Xiang knew that in the future, there would definitely be people taken from the villagers to do these kinds of work. But he couldn’t do anything about it for he would have long passed away when the incident started.

“If it’s so easy to come back, they would not have to struggle for a long time. Even after they come back, their health would no loner be as good as how they used to be,” Long Qian Xing added quietly.

Song Yun Xiang was silent.

The two of them knew this very well. With the hard work that these people did and the lack of rest and food… their future lives might end up to be very difficult. But there was simply nothing that the two of them could really do for them.

There were so many war prisoners and it was impossible to simply send them back to their respective hometown.

Some of them didn’t even have any home anymore.

And since they chose to be loyal to their previous kingdoms, they could be hidden danger for Fei Yang Kingdom if they were released carelessly.

So the only way was to use them as slaves to build many things in Fei Yang Kingdom. These two walls were just one among the many projects that Fei Yang Kingdom had over the years.

Many roads had been built and it helped the military to be dispatched quickly.

But the road project in the north area and east area was far from over. The north was because most people here focused on the wall building while the east was because the territory was simply too vast.

They conquered Shi Long Kingdom relatively quickly and the construction couldn’t keep up with the flow of the war.

Until now, it was not done yet.

“In a war, there will always be the victor and the loser. When you’re the loser, you have to pay the price, the consequences of your action,” Song Yun Xiang said slowly and then said, “So we can’t lose.”

If they wanted to protect Fei Yang Kingdom, they couldn’t lose.

This was something that the two of them agreed very much.

They wanted to win and continue winning so that Fei Yang Kingdom would not be disturbed by others and the people’s lives will be better.

But they understood that it was not easy.

Because for the sake of peace, there had to be sacrifices… Follow current novᴇls on novel fire.net

As much as they disliked war, it was also the means for them to achieve Fei Yang Kingdom’s unification for the sake of a better world for the people here.

Any kind of changes required sacrifices and what happened to Fei Yang Kingdom over the years were already more than enough. There was no need to plunge Fei Yang Kingdom to experience more turmoils.

“Yes.” Long Qian Xing narrowed his eyes.

They couldn’t afford to lose.

Not only for themselves but also for the people behind them.

“Hmm?” Fang Sheng Lin heard the two’s conversation as they were close to Song Yun Xiang’s residence and then blurted out, “But you have lost against Long Qian Xing, Song Yun Xiang.”

Song Yun Xiang: “…”

Long Qian Xing looked at Fang Sheng Lin subtly. It seemed that this man’s attribute of provoking death hadn’t changed in the slightest bit. And here he was wondering whether Fang Sheng Lin would ever change.

“It seems that you’re indeed too idle, Fang Sheng Lin. Rather than pestering the soldiers to fight, how about if I let you help with the construction work?”

“What? No! It’s too boring!”
