"That was one hell of a speech."
Keeping his usual elegant smile, Li Lin commented.
If the speech ended with something like "Disease. Chickenpox!" or "Lick brain, hi there, load!" it would have been more flavorful. But these are just trivial details, not worth dwelling on.
The speech was a masterpiece crafted by the company's writers. After several layers of scrutiny and final approval from Li Lin, Prince Bernard simply recited it verbatim. However, through his outstanding performance, the speech had an effect beyond what was expected.
Everybody was passionate, their emotions converging into an irreversible tide. Fanatic will would drive the war forward, no one could stop it. Compared to this, the voices calling for peace were pitifully weak, significant as stones on the roadside, not even worth tripping over.
