The death of the leaders and officers of the three mercenary groups announced that their morale was dwindling. When the death rate reached more than 500 people, some soldiers even threw down their guns and surrendered.
The Earth Mercenary Group thought that they had won, and they all wanted to take in the soldiers who surrendered. But at this moment, Xu Cheng was about to make a move on them because they refused to put down their guns, and Kutcher interrupted, "Show mercy!"
The soldiers of the Earth Mercenary Group didn't understand.
At this moment, Kutcher was placed in a wheelchair, and he was pushed to the center of the battle between the two armies. He said to his men, "Put down your guns."
The soldiers of the Earth Mercenary Group thought they heard it wrong. They were all hesitant.
"I told you to put down your guns!" Kutcher said in a deep voice, and he coughed again and again. While wiping the blood from his mouth, he said, "Let them go. As long as you let them go and give them freedom, I promise that the Earth Mercenary Group will disband in the future."
"Boss!" The group of people all roared, "What are we resisting for?"
"To have food to eat!" Kutcher looked at his men and said, "To not be exploited. But even if we become the owners of this place, what can we do? We can't change the structure of the Land of Mercenaries. What's the difference between this place and the past? "
"Then can they change it?" the members pointed at Xu Cheng and the others and shouted.
Xu Cheng looked at them and said, "How do you know if you don't try? If you want to resist, I won't object. Anyway, more than 500 people have died, and I don't mind killing another 100 or so of you! "
Then, Xu Cheng raised his hand and said to the soldiers of the three mercenary groups, "Kill them, and you will be of use to us."
Those soldiers immediately picked up their guns and aimed at the soldiers of the Earth Mercenary Group.
"Do you think we will be afraid?" The soldiers of the Earth Mercenary Group shouted and pointed their guns at each other, but no one shot. They didn't shoot either, because they just wanted to give themselves more bargaining chips.
"What do you want? Are you willing to let go of my brothers?" Kutcher looked at Xu Cheng and asked, "Do I need to die too?"
"If I did, I wouldn't have saved you just now." Xu Cheng said, "Can I talk to you?"
Cookie nodded, and Duerson pushed his wheelchair a short distance away.
Xu Cheng stood beside him and said, "You are a dictator, so you should know what I need. With the demise of the four major mercenary groups, plus the weakening of the Earth Mercenary Group, the Land of Mercenaries will usher in more chaos, and there will be more independent armies from other countries that will emerge and occupy the mountains."
Kutch said, "Answer my question first. I've always wondered who you represent."
Xu Cheng looked at Kutcher and said, "I represent myself."
Kutcher: "Then why did you choose the Land of Mercenaries? What can you do for this place? "
Xu Cheng stared at him, and Kutcher also stared at Xu Cheng.
"Is it for the mineral resources here or the oil field? Were they prepared to plunder and scram out of here, leaving the mess to the refugees? You can choose not to answer, and I can refuse to help you. "
Xu Cheng took out a cigarette and lit it. After taking a puff, he slowly said, "I'm doing this to protect myself, is that okay?"
He sincerely looked at Kutcher and said, "I will treat this place as my home, and my brothers will also treat this place as their home. If there is a place in the world that can accommodate us, I don't think there is a better place than here. So, I will do everything I can for this place, including improving it. "
Kutcher bitterly smiled. "You are an Asian, and you are saying these things in this strange land. You are even funnier than those politicians."
"Believe it or not, I'm an Asian, but why aren't the brothers behind me Asian? Some of them are black, and some are white, regardless of race. I don't need you to believe me. If you don't want to, at most it will be a little more troublesome for me, but I don't care. At most, I will just create more carnage. With my ability, do you think I can't do it? "Xu Cheng said.
Kutcher: "I don't doubt that you have this ability, especially after you were seriously injured by me, you were able to stand in front of me in three days. Your strength is even more superb. From this point, I can't see through you."
Xu Cheng didn't speak.
Kutcher looked at him smoking, and he was also a little greedy. He said, "Give me one."
Xu Cheng handed him one, and then picked up the burning charcoal on the ground. Kutcher smacked his lips.
He looked at the ruins and the gray smoke, sighed, and said, "The most awesome thing I did in my life was to overthrow the corrupt government, but what I regret the most is that I overthrew the government, but I couldn't rule independently, which led to more countries reaching their hands in and making this place a mess. More and more independent allied forces followed my example and went to seize territory, and the ones who suffered the most are the indigenous people here. Now that I think about it, I feel like I'm really stupid. In order to survive, I caused today's situation. Many people respectfully call me the King of Mercenaries. To put it nicely, I'm a legendary figure, but to put it bluntly, I'm just a pawn used by those politicians. I became the fuse, turning a seemingly backward and incompetent country into a chaotic land of mercenaries. Don't you think I'm stupid? "
Then, Kutcher shook his head in a self-deprecating manner. "I've already made a mistake once. If I really let other countries station troops here as a colony, then I would really be a sinner for all eternity. That's why I'm protecting this place at all costs. Do you know why I refuse to rule this place and declare independence?"
Xu Cheng looked at him.
"It's not that I don't dare, but I can't." Kutcher said, "I can't protect myself yet. Once I really rule independently, then many countries won't tolerate me, and they will try their best to kill me. They have the ability, and once I die, this place will be even more chaotic. So, first of all, I can't die. Even if I can't rule independently here, I can limit the scale of any independent army's development here. Once it gets too big, I will intervene. That's why I set so many rules in the Land of Mercenaries. "
Xu Cheng: "So, you objected to me killing those five commanders not because they gave you any benefits, but because you didn't want the United States to have an excuse to come in, right?"
Kutcher nodded. "I have no choice, I can only balance some things."
Xu Cheng looked into the distance, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something. Then, he suddenly thought of something, threw away the cigarette butt, looked at Kutcher, and said, "Let your soldiers hold down your territory and don't let any unrest happen. As for other places, I will find a way to expand and then merge them."
After that, Xu Cheng turned around and left.
