Toward Mo Tianji's stand, Gu Duxing was rather disapproving. "But they were ultimately innocent!"
Mo Tianji, who was of an entirely different opinion, replied, "Duxing… I don't wish to harm the innocents either. But… Since it has already turned out this way, I definitely will not regret my actions!"
He paused for a moment before he went on. "I made an error in calculation this time, but if I could do it again… I would still do the same thing!"
"There's a saying which goes 'Those who wish to accomplish great things should not be constrained by trivial details', as well as…'The merciful are ill-suited to be in charge of military troops'." Mo Tianji went on in a detached manner. "The success of a general needs to be built upon ten thousand bleached white bones, what more when putting into order the whole of the vast Nine Heavens?"
