Cross's words immediately aroused disdain and ridicule from William's men.

"With just a few of you, you can easily destroy the scavenging beasts?"

"Hahaha, stupid redneck, have you ever seen a scavenger?"

"If you kids can destroy so many scavengers, what are we going to do!

The soldiers laughed, but William didn't stop him, he also felt that the man in the black cloak in front of him was too arrogant.

At this moment, the irascible soldier from before suddenly drew his long sword, put it on Cross's neck, and roared domineeringly, "Boy, I have long seen that you are not pleasing to the eye, and you are still wearing a cloak and a hood in broad daylight, pretending to be mysterious! And you are so arrogant, if it weren't for Lord William's face, I would have killed you a long time ago!"

In the face of the impulsive behavior of the irascible soldiers, Cross still did not change his face, he wore a hood obviously to not reveal his identity, and there were too many people who knew the title of Silver Eye Cross.

And William only pretended to persuade, "Ed, put down your arms! If you accidentally cut off the head of a warrior, you will only die!"

"Lord William, I'm afraid that the one who doesn't have a head will be this soldier named Eddard. ”

Only then did the irascible soldier Ed react, and a sharp claw was already standing by his throat.

This is exactly Nia's claws.

Nia had stepped on Eddard's shoulder at the same time as he drew his sword, and was ready to slit Ed's throat at any moment.

Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers drew their swords, and only William sensed Nia's great strength, and at the same time, William was not surprised by Cross's situation.

"Lay down your arms!" said William, with a solemnity he had never seen before.

Eight soldiers obediently obeyed William's orders.

"Nia, come back. ”

"If you do this again, don't blame me for tearing you apart like prey. Nia whispered in Ed's ear in a cold tone.

"Nia!" yelled Cross.

Nia reluctantly jumped back into place, then glared at Ed with a vicious glare, who involuntarily touched her neck.

William bowed to Cross in apology, "Young hunter, I apologize to you for the impulsive actions of my men. In order for you to be able to easily destroy the scavengers, I am willing to help you in any way I can. ”

"I need 3 sets of bows and arrows, a suit of armor, 3 daggers, 3 swords, and 10 heavily armed warriors, each of whom needs to be equipped with bows and arrows. ”

The suit of armor that Cross asked for was for Gawain, and he didn't want him and Nia to reveal their identities when they changed armors.

"Young hunter, I can give you the equipment you need for the three of you, but I'm just a supply ship, and the soldiers and slaves add up to just over 100, so if I want to give you 10 fully armed warriors, I definitely can't. ”

William is well aware that in this turbulent period, people are the most useful resource. Of course, Cross understands this as well.

Since William can't reap the benefits, then Cross naturally has no need to waste any more time, he bowed slightly to William, and said, "If Lord William is unwilling to give us support, then we can only go first." ”

"Wait!" William was obviously unwilling to use his own soldiers to fight those scavengers, and in order to reduce the attrition, he had to let the three people in front of him play a role.

"Young hunter, I can command my troops to follow you. ”

"Lord William, you're mistaken, I don't need you to fight the vicious scavengers yourself, and I don't need more people, I just need 10 more warriors.

And, I can guarantee that they will all come back alive. ”

Cross's tone disgusted William a little, and it was not an impassioned pretense of passion, nor an exaggerated bluff.

This is the most common tone of statement of facts.

Only then did William realize that his previous disgust with this young hunter was also because of this tone: saying things that the world thought were impossible was as commonplace.

Driven by this disgust, William will not help Cross, and he even hopes that Cross will die a tragic death in this hunt for scavengers.

However, he needed an excuse, "Young hunter, I know you are brave, but not everyone has the courage to deal with a scavenging beast that can kill you if you are not careful.

My soldiers will definitely not give it to you, they can only do remote support.

However, as a reward for your rare courage, I will let all the slaves on board come down, and if any of them will go with you, I will not stop them. ”

William's wishful thinking exceeded Cross's expectations.

Cross had thought that William would support some of his slaves in order to retake Blackwater, not to mention 10, half of them should be there.

But this is not the case, and William's current approach will even leave Cross with nothing but weapons and equipment.

Damn misers!

Cross cursed in his heart, but he thought about it, William was one of his future hostile forces, and having such a flawed enemy was not necessarily a bad thing.

So, he gladly accepted William's final offer.

......

More than fifty slaves on board came to the shore and lined up in a neat row.

William began his speech, "Everyone knows that the purpose of our trip is to supply Blackwater.

But before we arrived, Blackwater was slaughtered by the murderous Seattans, and the barbarians did not spare a single person, and Blackwater became a cemetery for a while.

Subsequently, the decaying corpses attracted a large number of scavenging beasts, and now Blackwater Town is a hell on earth!

However, in this moment of crisis, three heroes emerge, all from Blackwater, who are willing to hunt down those scavengers!

Inspired by their courage, I decided not to back down and follow the three heroes to rescue Blackwater.

It's just that I don't have the courage of theirs, so I can only use my bow and arrow to support from a distance.

This kind of support can't meet the needs of the three heroes, they need people who can hunt scavengers up close like them! They need people who are not afraid of death like them!

If anyone is willing to fight with the three heroes, they can stand at the front. I'll reward you with a set of gear and make you a civilian!"

Where can those slaves understand all the meaning of William's words, they only know that there are a large number of scavengers in Blackwater Town, as long as they follow the three heroes to kill the scavengers, they can remove the shackles of slaves and become civilians.

However, they also knew that it was almost impossible to survive a close fight with a scavenging beast.

To become a commoner is to die, and to continue to be a slave is to live.

Slaves who are greedy for life and afraid of death will of course choose to survive.

This was also completely expected by Cross.

Seeing the slaves motionless, William snickered.

However, just as William was about to announce the result, a thin young man emerged from among the slaves.
