What Delta? Isn't it Operation Assara?

Chapter 123 Long Live Said

"Karim." Zhao Yu looked at the adjutant assigned to him due to the season's storyline and sighed softly.

This is indeed a problem.

The operators are watching the CG; they can't ruin Sai's image as someone who serves the country and its people.

Moreover, he must find a reasonable explanation; if he cannot explain it, then he will be seen as an ambitious schemer.

After Karim said these words, the Asara Guard soldiers and several adjutants around him all subtly distanced themselves from him.

Yanlong's grip on the gun tightened slightly, while Rongyu calmly aimed the flamethrower at the arrogant fellow.

Yusuf?

To hell with that damned Yusuf!

Everyone in Assara knows that Youssef has never been reliable!

The vigilance of the guards and adjutants was captured by the CG visuals and observed by the operators.

Is there going to be internal strife on Old Sai's side?

[This is normal. It's obvious that Old Se has broken with Reese's faction, but not all of Old Se's men are necessarily determined to stand with him.]

Would the old man lay a hand on his own subordinates?

"No way, Old Sai isn't the type to lay a hand on his own men."

People change. Judging from the current situation, Old Sai clearly has a strong and well-equipped force. Even Reis needs to ask Yousef for help. At this point, how could Old Sai possibly still care about Yousef...?

The operators were having a lively discussion, while Zhao Yu finally organized his thoughts.

"I understand what you mean, Karim." Zhao Yu stepped forward, patted Karim on the shoulder, and said in a serious tone.

"Do you know, Karim?"

"I, too, was once lost." Zhao Yu strolled past Karim and his adjutants, and walked among the Asara Guard soldiers.

"Just a few years ago, when we stormed the palace and burned the order that had stood unchanged for countless years on the land of Asara to the ground," Said Ziaten continued.

"At that time, Asara was suffering greatly, and the people were living in misery."

The king and Hafk conspired together, declaring their intention to create a completely new and perfect Asara.

But reality is far from the optimistic portrayal; Asara’s land and resources have been completely sold off by the former king.

This dam right beneath our feet cut off the Umu River's water source, depriving hunters and farmers downstream of everything they depended on for survival.

It was the former king's indulgence that allowed Hafk to easily support various factions throughout Assara, causing his fellow Assara people to kill each other on their own land.

"This confusion has always been with me, even though I know that if I had to do it all over again, I would still choose to follow Yousef and storm the palace!"

But I'm still confused...

"What confuses me is Youssef, Reiss, and Hamk!"

Before storming the palace, Youssef told me that as long as the tyranny of the former king was overthrown, the "good days" for the Asara people would come. But he, and Reis, their ambitions were written all over their faces, without any attempt to hide them.

After overthrowing the former king, he broke his promise, usurped the throne, and completely forgot the oath we made before the uprising.

Asara became more chaotic, and life became increasingly difficult for the people of Asara. But Reis and Yousef both gained what they wanted from the chaos.

Zhao Yu's words silenced all the adjutants and Asara's guards around him.

This is a fact.

This is a fact personally experienced by countless people in Asara.

"I have never been able to understand why the former king could so recklessly betray Asara's interests and use the suffering of the Asara people to adorn his own crown with jewels."

Why could Yusuf so easily declare himself king and crown his throne with the blood and tears of the Assara people?

Why could Shredder so brazenly plunder Asara and embellish his music with the cries of the Asara people?

Why could Hamk bomb cities and plunder caravans with impunity, using the last remaining hope of the Asara people to satisfy his ambitions?

"Said Ziaten" continued speaking, and the Asara Guard soldiers listened intently, wondering why.

Why are these guys who control everything so ruthless and insane?

"Later, I understood, it was because of our different positions." Zhao Yu gave his answer to the question he had raised.

"I don't know what their stance is, but I do know that the stance they have chosen is definitely not that of the millions of people living on the land of Asara."

"Therefore, the former king can collude with Hafk to create a completely new, more advanced, and more civilized Asara. However, you, I, and countless Asara people are all 'burdens' that need to be eliminated after the so-called new Asara is built!"

"Therefore, whether driven by lust for power or profit, Youssef and Reis can continue to exploit the Asara people with impunity, diligently adding to their endless suffering," Zhao Yu continued.

"Sir!" A soldier from Asara's Guard couldn't help but murmur softly from the crowd.

The Asara Guard soldiers, summoned by the system, also have their own stories within the background narrative of Delta.

Even if no one cares about this story.

Hafk will make the world a better place, at just a tiny, insignificant cost.

Perhaps it was once a prosperous village, but has now become desolate.

Perhaps it was originally a family portrait that symbolized happiness, but it turned out to be a broken one.

Perhaps it was once a bountiful field, but now it is parched.

"I can't do it." Zhao Yu continued to ponder Said's character, and then continued, "I can't be like those guys, high and mighty, casually throwing what they consider insignificant dust particles onto the heads of the Asara people."

Because what fell upon the people of Asara were mountains they could not bear!

His hand, clad in a red glove, brushed across the small bar table beside the connecting corridor between the east and west buildings, leaving behind his crimson owl.

"I will fight to the very end here for the Asara people, and for them, and for all those who are hostile to the Asara people!"

"I will expel every single enemy from Asara, first Hafk, then them!" Zhao Yu raised his hand, drew his sword, and planted the new melee weapon, Executioner, next to Crimson Owl. The immense force made Executioner pierce into the black stone slab of the bar as easily as cutting tofu.

"You are free to come and go here."

Those who are willing to fight with me for the future of the Assara people, hold your weapons tight; those who are not, you can lay down your weapons and equipment at any time, take a severance package, and go home.

In this increasingly chaotic world, take good care of your family!

"Choose! I'm giving each of you the freedom to choose!" Zhao Yu continued.

To be honest, if all the Asara Guard soldiers in the Special Operations Department really left, he would have a real headache.

But... the guards recruited by the system are all very "loyal," so it shouldn't be possible.

The surroundings were deathly silent; the entire administration building was eerily quiet.

"Long live Commander Saeed!" Someone shouted from the crowd, breaking the deathly silence.

Then came a deafening roar of shouts.

The Asara Guard soldiers chanted "Long live Commander Saeed!" like madmen, their voices echoing across half of Dam Zero.

"Don't shout like that."

"Long live Asara!" Zhao Yu was startled by the sudden shout, but he instinctively spoke up to correct the Asara Guard soldiers.

But the more Sayyid Ziaten shouted "Long live Asara!" the louder the Asara Guard soldiers shouted "Long live Commander Sayyid!"

Sunlight streamed through the windows into the administration building, illuminating the Asara Guard soldiers and Zhao Yu, as well as the executioner and the Red Owl.

The executioner stood firmly before the Crimson Owl, the two daggers gleaming crimson in the sunlight.
