"Lackey!" The mercenary who had voiced out his doubts was a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old. He was the youngest in the team and was full of passion.
As soon as he saw this tragic scene that angered both humans and gods, he immediately became furious.
He immediately rushed towards the couple who were surrounded by the puppet beasts.
He intended to save them.
At this time, his blood was boiling and he could no longer maintain his rationality. He could not think about the consequences of doing so.
A shadow was faster than him. It pounced on him and pushed him to the ground. The young mercenary fell to the ground in shock. He never thought that the resistance would come from behind. When he turned his head to look, he was even more surprised to find that the person who stopped him was the leader he had always respected.
"Why?" The young mercenary was so emotional that he could barely ask. Why would a person like the leader stop him?
He should support him!
No, he should be one step faster than him and step forward to save the suffering couple who were surrounded by the puppet beasts!
But not only did the leader not do that, he even stopped him from saving them. What kind of logic was this? Was this really the leader that he had always respected? Was this really the leader whose mother was willing to entrust her life to him? If he was afraid of death in a life and death situation, then what qualifications did he have to be a qualified mercenary? More importantly, in the face of such a tragic situation, who would not be moved? Who could bear to leave someone to die?
The young mercenary crawled up and rushed to the leader with tears streaming down his face. His voice turned into a sharp scream, "Why? Why? "
The leader did not answer and only pushed him back into the group.
"Don't touch me!"
The young mercenary suddenly shouted agitatedly, "You are the leader, so you may have your concerns, but I am an ordinary mercenary. I do not have your concerns. I have decided to save them now. Don't stop me! Don't try to stop me, or else I'll fall out with you. I must save them. Even if I lose my life, I can't just watch as my lackeys harm that family of three … Seeing a human's life in danger, not saving them is the first crime that a mercenary can commit. Have you all forgotten? "
Slap!
The mercenary leader slapped the young mercenary's face, causing him to stagger.
The young mercenary covered his face and replied to the mercenary leader agitatedly, "This will be the last time you hit me. In the future, please don't bother about me anymore. We are people with different ideals! You be your captain, and I'll save my people. You don't need to worry about me anymore! "
"Think about your blind mother, think about your young sister, and think about the baby your brother left behind. If you get yourself killed now, what will happen to them in the future? Who else could they rely on in the future? If you can't survive, your sister might have to sell herself as a slave, your mother will be blind, and she won't be able to raise her grandson alone. In other words, if you're finished, your whole family will be finished! Your heroic father and brother, the family that they have maintained for so many years, will be destroyed because of your momentary impulse! " Slap, slap, slap! The mercenary leader raised his hand and slapped the young mercenary several times, causing his teeth to bleed and his cheeks to swell.
"But if I don't save them, even if I live on, I will be a disgrace to my father's reputation." The young mercenary looked at the family of three who were surrounded by the Animal Puppets. He saw the couple covered in blood and injuries, using their last bit of strength to lift their child. Maybe in the next second, the couple would not be able to hold on, and the whole family would die.
He couldn't save them, but he couldn't not save them either.
Pain and despair tormented the young mercenary's hot-blooded and inexperienced heart, causing his spirit to collapse.
The young mercenary lost his soul, his body trembling uncontrollably. A few of his companions took the opportunity to hug him tightly. Perhaps feeling that he had no more strength to save them, the young mercenary burst into tears, crying like a bullied child, "Why? My God, why? Why? "
Yue Yang was still standing in the same place.
Not making a sound.
He quietly watched all of this.
Just as the mercenaries were quarreling, the guards on duty actually controlled the Animal War Dolls and stopped their attacks.
They moved towards the mercenaries, ridiculing in a strange tone, "Oh, I didn't expect that there would be such a righteous hero in this world! You scared me to death. Luckily you are not a noble lord of a territory, otherwise, even a hundred of our heads would not be enough for you to chop off! Come on, don't you want to save them? Today I will give you a chance … "
Another guard turned back and shouted at the couple covered in blood, "Your savior is here, quickly shout for help!"
The couple saw the young mercenary being grabbed by the mercenaries, and closed their eyes in pain.
Of course they wanted to be saved.
No one wanted to die.
However, let's not talk about whether or not the group of mercenaries could save him. Even if they could, how far could he escape?
To the owner of the mine, the mercenaries were like ants. If they dared to attack, they would only implicate more people, more innocent people … How could they bear to do that?
"You would rather die than speak? But, you haven't forgotten your daughter, right? Think about how your daughter will look when she is eaten, okay? " A guard on duty reminded them with a smile. When the couple heard this, their faces changed dramatically. The woman couldn't help but open her mouth. The man wanted to stop her, but the woman struggled to break free and shouted, "Brothers, I don't beg you to save us, but I beg you to take pity on my daughter and help me catch her … The child is innocent, I beg you, when I throw her out, who will stand up and catch her for me, please …"
"Yes, yes, that's right!" The four guards laughed.
"You can cry more miserably. You are begging people to catch your daughter, how can you do it without a little sincerity?"
"You can rest assured that we will give you this chance, but you must use your strength. Don't let your daughter fall to the ground, otherwise, her head will be trampled into pieces by my dogs. Don't blame me for not reminding you, hahahaha!"
"Hey, you self-proclaimed righteous mercenaries, is there no one to respond? Are you all cowards without a belt in your crotch? "
"If no one cooperates, then it won't be fun."
"If it's not fun, then we will immediately end the game … Dogs, get ready to move out!"
The young mercenary cried in a mess. He hated his identity. Why wasn't he the son of an aristocrat? Why didn't he have a hundred thousand troops? Why was he the son of a poor old mercenary? He was born lowly, and in the face of the powerful, he was as powerless as a pitiful little ant. Why did his life belong to someone else's? Why couldn't he change his fate no matter how hard he tried?
All the mercenaries lowered their heads.
Everyone has a family that they need to be the pillar of support.
They didn't dare to imagine what would happen to their family if their support collapsed.
Perhaps the wife would be kidnapped, and the lovely children would be sold as slaves one by one. Perhaps the wife would protect the family, but due to the lack of income, the whole family would cling to each other in poverty and starve to death, and then their corpses would be eaten by wild dogs …
Save people, everyone wanted to save them.
But everyone knew the serious consequences of saving people.
And even if they wanted to save them, there was a 99% chance that they would not succeed. Because, compared to the enemy's powerful war dolls, the mercenaries' war dolls were not on the same level at all. Not to mention the crime of attacking a noble's territory. Even if they were saved, how could they escape the pursuit of countless pursuers?
In the face of such a tragic situation that angered both men and gods.
To save, or not to save?
This answer could only be given by the heavens … But the heavens didn't open their eyes and didn't give any guidance. Without a miracle, everyone didn't know what to do!
"I'm so disappointed, a bunch of cowards! Compared to them, the eyes of those lowly slaves are a bit more rebellious, "the guard on duty sneered.
"The lowly slaves behind have caught up, and they're going to use numbers to protect these lowly slaves. Dogs, come out and bite them to death … "
The black mass of people gradually approached. They were all slaves with heavy shackles on their hands and feet.
Slave miners.
Many of the slave miners had bite marks on their bodies, dripping with blood, and the wounds were hideous and terrifying.
Seeing this group of people, the woman couldn't help but cry.
But the man's eyes were filled with even more despair, because he saw the mine captain leisurely coming from behind the crowd with the mine guards, as well as the supreme power behind the scenes, General Lei Meng, who regarded human life as grass.
Each of those people had a powerful war doll under them.
"Is there really no one who dares to stand up and be a hero? Even if it's a one-minute hero! "One of the guards spat on the ground contemptuously," A bunch of useless people! "
"I'm not a hero, nor am I useless."
A voice rang out.
The mercenary leader standing in front of the mercenaries suddenly walked out. Under the young mercenary's incredulous gaze, he slowly walked towards the bloody couple, ignoring the animal war dolls that surrounded them, and slowly reached out his hand, "If you believe me, I'm willing to take her. I have five children at home, and I don't mind raising one more. But I can't guarantee anything else, I can only say that she'll have enough to eat and wear. "
The bloody man could no longer speak.
He knelt straight down.
He kowtowed heavily.
A man's knees were gold. The man was bitten by a group of beasts, and his flesh and blood were flying everywhere, but he would never kneel down and beg for mercy. He was definitely a tough man.
But the mercenary leader's righteous act made him unable to bear it, because this grace was heavier than a mountain, deeper than the sea … Apart from kowtowing and thanking him, he couldn't think of a better way to thank the other party.
The woman began to sob. She was both moved and reluctant to part with him.
Her daughter would soon be safe.
But her daughter was about to leave her, and this departure would be an eternal farewell …
She hugged the little black ball in her arms tightly, kissing her little black face with all her might, kissing her little black and skinny little hands, no matter how much she kissed, it was not enough.
"Don't do this!" Seeing this, the man panicked. If he didn't send her away now, when General Lei Meng arrived, would his daughter still be alive? He forcibly took his daughter out of his wife's arms, and took a deep look at his daughter's dark and thin little face. At the moment when the beasts pounced on them, he threw his daughter high in the direction of the mercenary leader, "Brother, good luck, I'll repay you in the next life!"
"Roar!" The mercenary leader, who was also surrounded by several beasts, struggled to jump up, ignoring the puppet beasts that were biting him, and stretched out his arms, trying to catch the little girl who had been thrown out by her parents with high hopes of survival.
Beside General Lei Meng.
A three-meter-tall humanoid puppet spun the javelin in its hand at lightning speed.
Swoosh.
The javelin was ten times faster than an arrow released from a bow, and with a black light, it instantly pierced the chest of the mercenary leader. The javelin was extremely sharp, and with the great force thrown, the mercenary leader didn't even have time to react before the javelin pierced through his chest and nailed him to the ground. Even when he was nailed to the ground, he still looked at the javelin in his chest in disbelief.
Looking at the little girl in the sky who was naturally falling upside down, General Lei Meng stroked his prickly beard, as if he was very satisfied with this falling posture.
He couldn't stop laughing, "Not everyone can be a hero! Huh? "
The strange thing was that the little girl who fell from the sky.
She didn't fall into the mouths of the puppet beasts.
Instead, she inexplicably fell into the arms of a young man more than ten meters away.
The young man stroked the little girl's dirty little face with his hand and said something strange, "In front of a lolicon, please be a little gentler to children, okay?"
