"You dare to call us trash?!" The old men were immediately enraged. "What right do you have to say that?!"
"What's wrong with that? A group of outsiders came to your house, took some money, and told you to scram. Everyone here happily accepted it, and they looked quite happy, as if the other party had done something good for you. Look at how happy everyone is. That's why ignorance is also quite blissful. "Li Huailin said.
"You … What do you know?! What right do you have to say that about us?! "
"At least I know more than you do." Li Huailin continued, "This place is located on a plain, and there's nothing to rely on. Apart from a small river that supplies water, the other conditions don't meet the requirements of a military camp. Even an ignorant person would know that a place like this is not suitable for a military camp, not to mention that you guys are soldiers. Don't you find it strange? Why do these people insist on building a camp here? "
"That's right. Why?" To be honest, some of the old men were curious about this, but they did not say it out loud.
"The strangest thing is, why are these people willing to pay 300 gold to let you leave? Although it is not a lot, it is not a small sum either. Why are they willing to pay you? Don't tell me you really think that they are doing this to compensate you. If you do, I'll feel like I'm talking to a retard," Li Huailin said.
"That's right. Why?" Li Huailin's words made sense. The old men began to wonder why the other party was willing to compensate them, and why they were even willing to raise the price …
"See? What do you know? Tell me! Is it wrong for me to call you trash? " Li Huailin spread out his hands and said, "You guys don't know anything. You just leave when others tell you to. All of you even think that you've done something amazing and are not trash parasites. You ask me what words I should use to describe you guys?"
"What do you know? Of course, we all love this piece of land. After all, this village was built by all of us bit by bit. Every house and every piece of land here is the result of all of our efforts. Not only does it represent everyone's painstaking efforts, but it also represents everyone's memories. Do we want to leave this place? "Henry stood up and said.
"Yeah! We also don't want to leave this place, but what can we do? We can only desperately suppress the anger in our hearts and let ourselves accept this fact … "One-armed Sadra said on the side.
"Why should I accept it?" Li Huailin asked.
"Huh?" All the elders were stunned.
"You clearly know that you're being treated like trash, so why do you force yourself to accept this fact? Why didn't you resist and allow yourself to be trampled upon? "Li Huailin asked.
"We … we're both old, and the other party …"
"So what?!" Li Huailin roared. "I'm old? So you want to be pitied by others? So you'll feel happy if others treat you a little better? This land belongs to you. Don't you feel obligated to protect it? You're willing to leave just because I gave you some money? Can those who worked hard with you and are now lying in the ground rest in peace? You don't want to take any responsibility. When you see something you don't want to see, you immediately avoid it. 'As long as everyone lives in peace.' But if you want to live a better life, you have to face those things you don't want to see and move forward with the awareness of death. That's what a f * cking fight is! "
"McCann …" Li Huailin reached out his hand. A general in armor walked out from the crowd and stood behind Li Huailin. He handed something to Li Huailin. Li Huailin picked up the document and read it. "Henry, former squad leader of the 4th Infantry Squad of the 2nd Army. He has participated in 103 battles; Sadra, former member of the 4th Infantry Squad of the 2nd Army. He has taken down 61 enemies on the battlefield and was the first to attack a city twice; Kaman, former member of the 2nd Archery Squad of the 2nd Army. He is known as the archery master of the 2nd Army. He has killed an enemy captain on the battlefield; Seurat, former member of the 2nd Army …"
Under everyone's surprised gaze, Li Huailin revealed everyone's past in one breath. The entire place was silent. Everyone could only stare at Li Huailin blankly.
Li Huailin let out a soft sigh. "Before this, I was still looking forward to it. You bunch of heroes who have fought for the country and fought to the last drop of blood against the enemy must still have such a soul sleeping in a corner of your heart. I'm sorry. I had too high hopes for you guys. As expected, you guys are just a bunch of trash. This matter ends here. Take the money and scram as far as you can. Find a place to comfort each other and wait for your deaths. Alright, summon. Guild Leader, we're leaving. "
After that, Li Huailin turned around and walked out. At this moment, a soft singing voice sounded. "The wind blows across the cheeks, the blade flashes across the enemy's neck …"
Li Huailin turned around. Mrs. Vesna, who was seriously ill, had walked out of the crowd. The singing voice came from her side.
"Blood is always flowing, anger is rising, death has awakened, war is calling! …" Slowly, all the old people in the crowd started to sing along. Slowly, all the old people present began to sing along, and their voices became louder and louder.
For the light and glory of Saint Felipe! For the light and glory of Saint Felipe! " To Li Huailin's surprise, even Maccon was singing along with them.
"Maccon, what's this?" Li Huailin asked curiously.
"The military song of the second legion," Maccon replied.
"Damn, we have such a thing in our team." Li Huailin was shocked.
"Yes, General, this is the military song of our second legion 114 years ago …" Maccon said happily.
"Go back and destroy it. It's so ugly," Li Huailin said.
"…"
"Pull out your swords and raise your spears. Glorious warriors of Saint Felipe, forward!!! " After the song ended, the scene quieted down again, but it was obvious that there was a difference from before, because a turbulent aura was slowly spreading out.
"Let's fight …" One-armed Sadra said softly. It was completely different from the previous roar. There was no intonation at all.
"Oh …" All the old people on this side softly replied, but there was an indescribable firmness in their voice.
"Mr. Mercenary, I'm very sorry …" Henry stood up and said to Li Huailin, "I'm sorry that we were muddle-headed before. I apologize to you. Can we win this battle?"
"Of course, why do you think I'm here?" Li Huailin said confidently. The current situation was that there were more than a hundred old men on one side and 3,000 young soldiers on the other side. Anyone with a normal IQ would not say that the old men could win. However, Li Huailin said it, and he said it very confidently. The most exaggerated thing was that the old men on the other side did not show any doubt.
"In that case, I'll risk my life." Henry nodded, then raised his hand and shouted to the people behind him, "Fight to death!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight! "All the old people shouted together.
Li Huailin gently glanced at the old people on the scene. All the old people only looked at Li Huailin's eyes. No one avoided his eyes. Li Huailin nodded slightly, "Good eyes. Do you still want to teach these young people a lesson?"
"No, I don't want to," Henry replied. "We're going to kill them!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "All the old people shouted in unison.
"Correct answer." Li Huailin nodded. "Now, you deserve to stand by my side."
After that, Li Huailin walked directly to the seat in front of the square and sat down. A group of old people automatically lined up in front of Li Huailin. They all straightened up, like soldiers waiting for the inspection of their commander.
"McCain …" Li Huailin gently waved his hand, and McCain gestured to the people behind him. Soon, several soldiers came over with three wooden carts. The three wooden carts were full of weapons, all of which were brand new spears and swords. Although the specifications were slightly different, they were much better than those in the village.
"Bows, arrows, and armor are still on the way. There are no big cities nearby, so these are the best things that can be sold." Li Huailin simply said, "The style of the armor may be different, but everyone can easily recognize them. If you see white hair, you'll know it's one of us. No problem, right?"
"Yes!" Although the group of old people was surprised, they still answered in unison.
"Alright, everyone, grab your weapons. The person next to me will split you up and help you remember how to stand in formation. I'll only give you one day to memorize this. If you can't remember it by tomorrow morning, then you'll be courting death."
"Yes!" All the old people answered together. Starting from the front, they lined up one by one to get their equipment.
"Mrs. Vesna, my people will bring the topographic map of this place later. Please help me check if it's correct." While the old people were getting their weapons, Li Huailin said to Mrs. Vesna, who was sitting next to him. "Also, I'll leave the organization of the women in the village to you."
"Please leave it to me …" Although Mrs. Vesna's face was still a little pale, her tone was very calm. Hearing Li Huailin's words, she immediately nodded. "Don't worry, these old bones still have some use."
"That's reassuring." Li Huailin nodded. "Then, finally, we can start."
