For all the survivors, everything they experienced today was like a dream. It was so unreal.
Some people recognized the identity of the young man. It was the human that Bahamut brought back.
The other party came here as a guest, so why did he summon these terrifying skeleton warriors? What kind of secrets were hidden in the other party's body?
Many people were now looking at Chen Feng from afar, hoping that he would give them an answer.
But Chen Feng had already explained his intention. He would give these survivors two choices. One was to leave with him and seek help from the outside world, and the other was to stay here.
"Excuse me, where did our Lord go?" At this time, a weak inquiry came from afar.
Chen Feng looked behind him and saw that the lizardman he had met before was lying on the ground. When the python appeared, it raised its head and smashed the rock into pieces. Coincidentally, a piece of rock landed on the lizardman's chest. The huge force created an extremely terrifying destructive power. If it wasn't for the lizardman's decent defense, he would have become a corpse by now.
But even though it survived, it also vomited a lot of blood. Now its face was a little pale, and its back was deeply bent.
"He has left." Chen Feng answered truthfully.
"No!"
Chen Feng said the truth, but the lizardman's face was full of distrust. It shook its head, as if it didn't believe everything Chen Feng said at all.
"Lord will not abandon us. Although he didn't say it, he is God. He will not abandon these believers who believe in him. One of them will come back. I will not go anywhere. I will stay here and guard him, even if I die!"
The lizardman now looked like it was going all out, as if it didn't believe Chen Feng's words at all. As it understood, Bahamut would not lie to them, let alone leave them like this.
But what was the truth?
Chen Feng was not a philanthropist. The life and death of these people seemed to be meaningless to him. He didn't need to make any useless explanations, so he shook his head and said to the survivors, "Do you think so too?"
After Chen Feng finished asking, some people couldn't help but look at the lizardman. They were like a group of people who didn't know what to do now.
If they rashly rejected Chen Feng, would they be punished?
Too many people had died. No one wanted to be a sacrifice at this time and be directly executed by Chen Feng.
As if guessing these people's thoughts, Chen Feng said, "I will tell you one last time. Bahamut has left and will not come back. No matter how much he protected this place before, from the moment he left, you should know what kind of dilemma you will face if you stay!
"You have two choices. The first is to continue waiting for Bahamut. The second is to leave with me now. Before you make your choice, I won't make things difficult for you. But you must remember that this is your last chance to make a choice."
After finishing his words, Chen Feng stood to the side expressionlessly.
He had already given these people a chance to choose. At this time, it was up to these people to choose.
Chen Feng's last sentence gave the survivors a lot of courage. It seemed that Chen Feng wasn't lying.
He wouldn't do anything to these people, and this was their only chance to choose.
The survivors moved. Most of them walked in front of the lizardmen. To them, Bahamut was the god they truly believed in, and Chen Feng was just a traveler who happened to pass by.
These people had been taken care of by Bahamut to live to this day. They worshipped Bahamut very much. They had already given their lives for him and even swore to be loyal to him forever and never betray him.
Until now, Bahamut had not appeared. They couldn't deny that Chen Feng didn't lie to them. Bahamut might have really left, or he might really need to leave for a while because of some things. But to the survivors, the god they believed in would come back to redeem them one day.
So, like the lizardmen, they chose to stay here. No matter what kind of predicament they were in, they tried to wait for Bahamut's arrival.
Seeing this scene, Chen Feng didn't say anything. He had already made it clear that he would give them a choice.
What's more, Order was no longer what it used to be. The population had reached a million. Although there were many residents in this stronghold, compared to Order, it was nothing.
Chen Feng didn't care too much about the faith of these people.
As for the reason why he had wasted so much time before, it was only out of respect for Bahamut. Bahamut had left behind two strands of divinity in the end, and while it was partly to compensate him, the other reason was to let him take care of the subordinates he left behind.
Bahamut was contradictory.
As a human, Chen Feng couldn't accept his almost cold-blooded state. He let humans die and just abandoned them as chess pieces.
But as a ruler, Chen Feng understood one thing, and that was that most of the time, he couldn't do as he pleased.
If he encountered a strong enemy, an enemy who had been chasing him for thousands of years, or even longer, in order to kill the enemy or even obtain some information, would he sacrifice the survivors under his rule?
For Chen Feng, he was bound to make this choice.
He would!
And he would sacrifice the lives of some survivors without hesitation.
This was the fate of the superior.
A general's success was built on the bones of thousands of people.
Threatening Bahamut was more about spying on the other party's divinity. At Chen Feng's level, ordinary power was no longer of any help. Only the energy of divinity could help him break through to a higher level and become a mythical or even eternal master.
On the side, seeing that Chen Feng didn't make a move on those who had chosen, many people sighed. These people were speculators. They also wanted to stay, but they were afraid that everything Chen Feng said before was just a lie. Therefore, after seeing that Chen Feng didn't make a move, they moved their feet and stood beside the lizardman.
Although the lizardman was injured and extremely weak, seeing that there were survivors around him, he still looked at Chen Feng with a victorious look.
That look seemed to be saying, "Look, there are so many believers of the Lord. No matter how good your calculations are, it's meaningless."
At this moment, a weak voice sounded from the side, "I want to ask, is Sir really not coming back?"
The person who asked the question was the girl who used the Dragon Dances in the Ninth Heaven. She was a Holy Light Master. Just now, she felt the surging dark energy, so she knew that Bahamut might have encountered an unimaginable enemy.
And after she raised the question, there was a lot of cynicism around, all of them reprimanding her for being an ingrate and for having an impure faith in Sir.
At this time, she didn't choose to believe in the person she was loyal to, but asked a stranger instead.
Some people even used extreme words, angrily telling her to leave. Otherwise, even if she stayed, she would become a peripheral figure and not be accepted by anyone.
The girl was at a loss for a moment. She looked at those familiar faces, but at this moment, she felt that they were so unfamiliar.
Chen Feng didn't care about the grievances of these people and just answered truthfully, "I've said before that Bahamut has left and won't come back. He entrusted me to take care of you, but I will only take care of those who trust me. If some people still believe that Bahamut will come back, then I won't force them."
"I know, then I choose to leave!"
"Me too!"
"I'm leaving too!"
