The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 125 Surrender
The opponent's body was covered in injuries, one of his legs was lame, and he had no equipment at all.
On the other hand, Xu Lai was wearing heavy armor and was closely protected by two knight retinues. Su Ya and Giselle were by his side, so there was no need to be so nervous.
Xu Lai patted Su Ya's arm gently, telling her not to be too nervous.
The leader of the White Bear Mercenary Group came up and first expressed his gratitude to Xu Lai with his hands and fists:
"Thank you for your life-saving grace. Urdora owes you my life."
Xu Lai waved his hand and said: "You're welcome, Sir Urdola.
From this moment on, you are free! "
Xu Lai didn't come here for bonuses or anything like that. Saving Urdola and the others was just a matter of convenience.
Besides, these guys who have been stripped naked, can we still expect them to pay us?
Urdora said: "I heard your servant shout just now, you should be a hero?"
Xu Lai glanced at Watanabe who was working enthusiastically from afar. He originally didn't want to admit that what he was most afraid of was trouble.
But he looked at Urdola and the people behind him and found that most of their eyes revealed hope, so he said seriously:
"Yes, I'm a hero."
As Xu Lai spat out these words, the people on the other side knelt down with cheers.
Urdola and the others immediately knelt down on the ground, covered their faces and cried bitterly: "Thanks to the God of War, the coming of heroes will definitely end this chaotic world that has not happened in thousands of years. Our human race will once again stand on the top of the world, and the glory of the empire will surely be Reappear.”
Several grown men burst into tears. The key point was that Xu Lai was really confused.
His attention at this time also shifted to the only man still standing in the field.
This guy's appearance is even more miserable than that of Urdola and the others, with not a single piece of good flesh on his body.
But even so, some of the others had broken hands and some were lame. This guy's body was covered in injuries, but he was still intact without any lame or broken legs.
"Dude, are you from China too?" This guy had black hair and yellow skin. Xu Lai guessed that he was the hero who was captured and tortured by Yin Andy.
The man covered his face and smiled bitterly: "It's an embarrassment to China."
Xu Lai also smiled bitterly and said, "What's the point? If you're a man, if you go home and wash up, you'll be a good man again."
"My name is Wang Chao. Thank you brother for your help."
Xu Lai waved his hand and said, "Xu Lai, brother Wang, please find a place to rest first. I'll have someone get you something to eat and drink first."
Wang Chao did not refuse. He imitated Urdola and the others and said with his hands, "Brother Xu, I would like your help to ask if there is a girl named Dong Shuqin here."
Xu Lai was stunned and said, "What? Do you know him?"
Wang Chao lowered his head in embarrassment and said: "I don't know her, but she is also a poor girl. She comes from the same place as us. It is thanks to her that I survived."
Xu Lai nodded and said: "Don't worry, as long as she is still alive, I will find her."
At Xu Lai's signal, Giselle took some food and water and handed them to Wang Chao.
"Everyone, please get up quickly. What do you mean by kneeling like this?"
Several people looked at each other, and it was Urdora who said: "Hero, we have returned home shamelessly. Please take us in, hero."
These people are not monsters. Xu Lai can't get their information at a glance, but with his current gaze, he can still roughly tell their level.
These people were able to be locked up by Andy Yin all the time. Although they suffered some torture, they did not die after all.
A person who is led by a horse thief who spends money and food to support must still have some ability. Even if it is just to vent his anger like Wang Chao, isn't he still a hero?
But although Xu Lai was optimistic about them, he didn't know whether he should accept them.
They are not absolutely loyal like the monster soldiers, nor are they die-hard captains who were directly promoted by Xu Lai like Tahan, Giselle and others.
They have their own independent personalities, their own social relationships and emotional tendencies. Even if you are helpful to them, you cannot make them 100% loyal to you.
The kind of person who is 100% loyal to others is either a mentally disturbed person or a puppet robot. Even if he is a dead soldier, when you ask him to die, he has to weigh it in his heart.
Su Ya and others can actually be regarded as having abnormal brains, and maybe they also have puppet robots.
Here Xu Lai is worried about their loyalty, while Urdola and others think Xu Lai dislikes them.
Also, the culprit who ruined the entire business group and mercenary group was still alive after being caught, and now he surrendered after being rescued. Everyone looks down on them.
Coupled with the fact that they were seriously injured and crippled, it was impossible for Urdola to let these sick and disabled people join his mercenary group even if he was here.
For a moment, Urdola and the others felt ashamed.
"I'm sorry to make things difficult for you. It's because we don't know what to do."
Xu Lai saw that he was going to be in trouble. These guys were probably mentally fragile right now. His hesitation made others think he was disgusted.
In fact, what Xu came to like about them was not their fighting ability. Anyway, there were monster soldiers who were not afraid of death.
Besides, screw your loyalty, but you want others to exert their subjective initiative, but you don't allow others to have their own little ideas. Isn't this the same as asking a horse to run but also asking the horse not to eat vegetables?
He is just managing a village now, but he already feels that the people on hand are not enough. Now that he has met all the conditions for upgrading the town, he can upgrade just after returning.
How can a large town do well with only a few people capable of doing things?
The so-called loyalty is just a lack of weight for betrayal. Xu Ziwen is not a stingy person. At most, he may have never been a high-ranking person and lacks a little bit of the domineering and prestige that a high-ranking person should have.
But in key positions, Xu Lai must always arrange people who are 100% loyal. If they are just in the corner, even if they are betrayed, the loss will not be big.
Compared with the help they brought in the early stage, this kind of risk is completely bearable, so there is nothing to worry about.
"What are you saying? I'm just wondering if I'll wrong a few people.
You may not know that although I have a village myself, this village is not recognized by any nobles.
Moreover, even this village has only just been built. To put it bluntly, there is not even enough room for a few people to stay. "
Hearing what Xu Lai said, several people were obviously relieved. At that moment, one person stood up and said:
"Your Excellency, Hero, we are just some losers. We are already living in this world on a meager diet, so how can we dare to demand harsh treatment?"
Xu Lai laughed and said: "In that case, it would be great if a few of you are willing to stay and help.
Everything is busy today. I am waiting for a few of you to come back to the village with me, and I will entertain and arrange for you well. "
Urdola and others obtained their identities from Xu Lai, and now they had no scruples and directly asked Xu Lai what he planned to do with the people in the square.
Xu Lai also had a headache about this matter. Most of the people here were innocent, but inevitably there were many people and thieves. The horse thieves were relatives.
Can the son of a horse thief, even if he is just a child, grow up in such an educational environment and be a good person in the future?
Even if they want to be good people and Xu Lai kills their husband and father, can they have no hatred in their hearts?
But let Xu Lai kill them all. First of all, these people are just children. Xu Lai asked himself that he was a human being and not an animal, so he couldn't do anything to children.
Secondly, some of them may have committed crimes, but most of them should have not committed any crimes.
Xu Lai cannot use the excuse that they may commit crimes when they grow up to punish them who have not committed crimes yet.
If this reason is valid, then he can kill anyone with one blow.
Just because you don't make a mistake now doesn't mean you won't make a mistake in the future. If you do, I'm just doing justice to God. This kind of excuse is nonsense.
"We will screen them first, and those who have made mistakes will be taken back to work as miners. Others who want to go home will be given travel expenses. Those who don't want to go home can follow me back to the village.
If anyone is unwilling to go home or follow me, then leave this village to them. "
Xu Lai was pointing at the self-built wooden houses that had not been destroyed by the thieves.
Since Urdola and the others were going to be his subordinates, Xu Lai didn't want to hide it from them. Besides, it was just taking him back to mine. It was a bit hard work, and at least his life was saved. It shouldn't be too much.
Xu Lai looked at this from a modern perspective. It was simply heinous to bring a group of minors back to mine.
However, considering the current environment, Xu Lai felt that he at least cared about their food and drink, and did not need them to dig for their whole lives, which should be acceptable to Urdola and the others.
Unexpectedly, Urdola and the others snorted and said, "Heroes are kind. If it were me, I would have killed all these little bastards with one knife."
Xu Lai smashed his lips, okay, he was still too optimistic. In troubled times, the lives of ordinary people were not even as good as dogs, let alone horse thieves and their descendants.
"Since it is your decision, Lord Hero, then leave this matter to your subordinates and others."
Xu Lai hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Why don't you go with Wang Chao to rest, drink some hot water, and eat something."
However, Urdola and others said: "I am waiting in the dungeon and have had enough rest. Please give me your instructions, Lord Hero."
Xu Lai smiled bitterly, they were in the dungeon, were they there to rest?
However, he could still understand the eagerness of these people to make meritorious deeds, and perhaps the desire to retaliate and humiliate the families of those thieves.
But so what, if he was locked up in a dungeon by thieves and tortured every day, when he came out, he would definitely kill everyone in the thieves' lair.
No matter if you are innocent, who made you have anything to do with the thieves?
The reason why he can worry about whether his conscience can live with it now is simply because he has never suffered such a hardship. The so-called matter has nothing to do with him and is just a high priority.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you then. I just happen to have a headache too."
