Afterword to Volume 5
(????)??Hi! Grind more!
This is the amateur novelist who is worried about his insufficient cultivation every day - Shumengshi.
I am really sorry to drag the postscript of Volume 5 until now (I hug you and cry). The postscript of Volume 5 should be released immediately after the end of Volume 5, but due to various reasons (mainly laziness), I kept dragging it.
Until now, I have written 160,000 words in Volume 6, and I finally have time to write the postscript of Volume 5. I am very ashamed.
The total number of words in Volume 5 "Sharomanda Battle" is similar to what I expected, both are more than 300,000 words and less than 400,000 words, and the total number of words: 333,132 words.
The inspiration for this volume comes from an idea from me:
[Is it shameful to choose to surrender when facing an enemy that is absolutely impossible to defeat?]
I believe different people have different ideas about this issue.
So in this book, you can see people who make different choices when facing this problem in this volume.
Some people choose to surrender directly.
Some people swear to resist to the death.
Some people who intend to resist to the death choose to surrender.
To be honest, if the author himself faces this problem, I don’t know what choice should be considered right.
All of these characters in this volume are those who are difficult to judge their merits and demerits.
Are the Hele soldiers who are planning to fight to the end of the battle wrong?
They seemed to be right because they protected their homes and prevented them from being occupied by foreign races. They shed their last drop of blood. From this perspective, they were all a group of loyal and brave warriors.
But they all seemed to be wrong again. They could not win this struggle at all. They still fought to the death, and they seemed to have just made a vain sacrifice.
Is Lu Ge wrong to betray his own tribe and become a "tribe traitor" and persuade his compatriots to put down his weapons and surrender?
He seems to be right.
But it seems to be outrageously wrong.
Are the tribes of those tribes who didn't even fight, the Britannians surrendered as soon as they declared war, and the tribes who were persuaded to surrender by Vivian were wrong?
They seem to be right.
But it seems to be very wrong.
I like such complex characters who have no idea how to judge merits and demerits.
So almost everyone in this book is such a complicated character.
These characters in this volume reflect the "complexity" particularly clearly.
I have said too much, and it feels that it will affect your thinking, so I won’t go into details in detail.
Everything has become history, let future generations judge right and wrong.
I hope that after reading Volume 5, it will trigger your thoughts on the question of [Is it shameful to choose to surrender when facing an enemy that is absolutely impossible to defeat?].
Of course, there are more than one thought-provoking questions that appear in Volume 5.
Let’s find and think about these questions by readers.
Help readers decide what the ideas reflected in their works - this is not something a novelist should do.
Thanks to Volume 5, I realized the weakness of my writing skills.
I have always wanted to write the 5th volume to the epic feeling, but no matter how I write it, I can't write the feeling I want.
There are many things in Volume 5 that I am not satisfied with, which is really a pity.
Because I have seen my weakness, I am still full of fighting spirit now.
【I am still too weak!! I want to become stronger!!】
Finally, as usual, say the bad words.
I would like to all who have always supported this book and give you the deepest freehand painting!
