After a series of emotional speeches by Yang Xiao, Jiang Han ascended the high platform, channeling his inner strength to make his voice resonate throughout every corner of the square.
"Bring them up!"
As his words fell, around a hundred men, women, and children—chained and dressed in prison garb, their faces devoid of color—were pushed into the open space below the high platform.
A solemn silence fell over the crowd.
"They are all traitors of Manichaeism!" Jiang Han declared loudly. "They were once brothers who fought alongside us but turned against us at the most critical moment, betraying us and becoming the enemy's pawns, thrusting their cold blades towards us! Today, I must reluctantly deal with them to give an account to our sacrificed brothers!"
"Here, I cannot help but ask you all, my brothers."
"I ask you, why did you join Manichaeism? Why did you rebel?"
"You initially fought bravely against the enemy, endured hardships, traveled thousands of miles to guard our lands—not just to be loyal to the leader and protect the Western Regions but also to live better lives for yourselves, so that your hard-earned achievements could benefit your families. To build your careers and gain recognition."
"Is that true or not?"
"Those standing here today are all outstanding members of Manichaeism; you are the pride of Manichaeism, its support, and the foundation that has suppressed the Western Regions for hundreds of years."
"Is that true or not?"
"My predecessors in Manichaeism have made great sacrifices and achieved glorious feats; from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, across nine provinces and thirteen islands, they shook the world and commanded respect."
"But just recently, the Six Major Sects came from the Central Plains, destroying our strongholds and killing countless brothers and sisters. In the chaos, they seized our immeasurable wealth while we were powerless to resist. We were even on the brink of having Bright Summit breached, reduced to livestock at others' mercy."
"Why is this happening? Where are our disciples of Manichaeism who once shook the world? Where are our unbeatable masters? Where have they all gone?!"
"Some disciples of Manichaeism, who were once the pride of Manichaeism, have now become its shame!"
"When the enemy came charging in fiercely, some disciples of Manichaeism were so frightened that they fled in panic! They did not stand and fight for the Holy Church; instead, they turned on each other in a struggle for material possessions!"
At this point, Jiang Han suddenly pointed at the group of prisoners, his voice booming: "This is your doing! The Holy Church has never failed you, yet you have betrayed the Holy Church! Why have you sided with the Six Major Sects, willingly becoming their hounds? Assisting them in their tyranny, acting recklessly and wantonly, has severely drained the strength of our Manichaeism!"
"Your loyalty was not given to the Holy Church, which could provide you with fairness, merit, and glory, but to those who can summon you at will and discard you just as easily. You only receive the leftovers from the hypocrites of the righteous path, don't you?!!!"
Jiang Han's voice thundered in everyone's ears!
He began to pace back and forth, turning his head to shout: "Brothers, today I officially take on the position of leader. Here, I promise you..."
"From now on, everything you sacrifice will be fairly rewarded! Any act of betrayal against the ironclad rules of the Holy Church will be punished. Everything belonging to the Holy Church belongs to each and every one of us!"
"The Holy Church is ours, and it is also for our children; ultimately, it belongs to the next generation! As long as you dare to fight and strive, your efforts will be matched by your rewards!"
"You can become team leaders, squad leaders, standard bearers, flag bearers, Five Element Flag Bearers, Heads of Various Halls, or even hold a leading position in the Bright Summit Great Hall. Are you willing to fight for your descendants? Can you do it?!"
By the end of his speech, Jiang Han was almost shouting.
The response from the disciples of Manichaeism was enthusiastic; the collective roar of each individual seemed capable of shaking mountains: "We dare! We can! We will do it!!!"
"Holy Lord Invincible! Holy Church Eternal Prosperity!" A little girl in ragged clothes beside the grand hall clenched her fists tightly, her voice as clear as a lark suddenly ringing out.
Seeing her stubborn little figure, someone almost burst out laughing, but her puffed-up cheeks and serious demeanor infected them instead.
As a result, more and more people cheered, "Holy Lord Invincible! Holy Church Eternal Prosperity!" The sound surged like a mountain roar or a tsunami.
Jiang Han turned around, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and thought to himself that the morale was usable.
Next, the most important task for Manichaeism was to stabilize the situation, reclaim the lost territory, and strike down those who had defected, surrendered, acted as traitors, or seized Manichaeism assets during this battle with a thunderous blow.
" Envoy Yang," Jiang Han said as he walked back.
"Yang Xiao" quickly responded, "Your subordinate is here!"
Jiang Han nodded and said, "Tomorrow morning, gather the troops early and march down the mountain. We must spare no effort to eliminate all resisting bandits and reconstruct the Western Regions into an impregnable fortress!"
After a brief pause, he continued, "If there is any resistance, do not report it; eliminate them on the spot!"
