Chapter 406, I choose to withdraw my troops
After doing this, Li Xiao glanced at the people below and asked, "Who else wants to be paid?"
As soon as Li Xiao made such a move, everyone was taken aback. However, someone soon reacted, and one of the monks in the late Yuan Dynasty asked loudly: "How did you decide his life and death, and what did he do wrong? Are you right!" The last sentence was addressed to the people around him. As soon as he shouted like this, the people around him immediately shouted, asking Li Xiao to give an explanation.
Seeing such excitement below, Li Xiao only felt a burst of amusement. These people didn't think that there was anything wrong with the person who made a fortune at such a time just now, but because this person led the way, everyone followed suit. Li Xiao finally understood that these people were too comfortable. It is no longer known what suffering is and what is oppressed. Just like a pig that has been raised, it is accustomed to a peaceful life, and even if it sees the person who is going to slaughter it coming, it will only think that it is delivering food, and will not feel the crisis.
Seeing that they were getting more and more energetic below, as if they were going to make a move, Li Xiao frowned and roared: "Quiet." This sentence is not as polite as the beginning, and directly uses the lion's roar of the Buddha with all his might. In an instant, the entire school field was shocked.
After seeing that they were all honest, Li Xiao asked: "Shouldn't he take the opportunity to blackmail and want to make a fortune?"
Hearing Li Xiao's question, everyone was silent. Seeing that everyone stopped talking, the person who questioned Li Xiao just now felt that he was very faceless, so he said: "He just said it casually, is it guilty to say it casually." If you kill him on the basis of this, we will not accept it! Hearing him say this, the crowd seemed to have found a new reason and became noisy again.
This time, Li Xiao just watched them quietly and didn't say anything to stop them. However, Li Xiao's silence was exchanged for more questioning, and even insults, as if they were on the side of the truth, especially the late Yuanying monk who had just looked at and questioned Li Xiao, and was even more proud.
Seeing the excited look of the crowd below, Li Xiao suddenly smiled. See his smile. The previous Late Yuan Infant Monk suddenly felt a bulge in his heart. Because Li Xiao was also laughing like this just now.
So he subconsciously made a defensive posture. It's just that his defense didn't save his life, and he saw a huge palm the size of a zhang falling from the sky.
The aura on the palm of the hand is much more powerful than the previous one. It is enough to reach the peak of the late Yuan Infant period. It is even stronger, this is the effect of Li Xiao using four spells in a row.
In the face of such a powerful attack, the man who had just reached the late stage of the Yuan Infant was simply unable to resist. His attacks and defenses didn't do much in front of this huge palm at all, and he was finally slapped to the ground. Turns into a ball of meat sauce.
Li Xiao's decisive killing made everyone stunned again. After killing the man, Li Xiao spoke: "During the war, those who deliberately disturb the security of the rear and create chaos will be killed. ”
Li Xiao's words made everyone fall silent again, and many people even showed timid looks. As if he was worried that Li Xiao would suddenly go crazy in the next moment and kill them.
At this time, a slightly old voice sounded, and I only heard him say: "This lord, we have confessed to the two crimes you mentioned earlier. But if you want us to help you defend the city, that's impossible. We pay so many taxes every year so that you can protect us and help us fight against the Sea Clan. And instead of guarding the walls at the front, you're gathering us here. I don't think there's any point in our taxes being convicted and killing at will. To put it mildly, it's like hiring murderers to kill ourselves. If that's the case, I might as well give my money to the Sea Clan, and at least I can save my life. ”
Hearing him say this, the people around him reconciled again. It wasn't until Li Xiao glanced at it coldly that he quieted down. Then Li Xiao looked at the old man who spoke with a sneer, and said, "Since you talked about taxes, then I will talk to you about your taxes." If you think you can buy the lives of the soldiers, then can I use the money to buy your lives? Your life is your life, and their life is not their life?
Every time you hunt, the soldiers fight to the death in the front, and you only need to pick up the fruits of victory in the back. Each time you get a profit from it, you pay at least ten times more than you pay taxes. If it weren't for the desperate work of the soldiers, you would have been able to live so comfortably? If it weren't for these soldiers to help you resist the Sea Clan, you would have become so rich. You are still embarrassed to mention taxes to us, in this case, you will not have to pay taxes from next year, and we will no longer help you resist the Sea Clan, nor will we protect you, and you will solve all the things yourself. Since you're treating this as a trade, let's start now, cancel the deal. ”
Speaking of this, Li Xiao paused, then suddenly showed a weird smile and said: "
I forgot to tell you that I am not the garrison of Jiangcheng. And the order I received was that once the Sea Clan could break through the city walls, all the soldiers must retreat without fighting to the death. If you want to go to the front line to make trouble, what I just said will count. Whoever disturbs the peace will be killed. ”
After saying that, he didn't care about the crowd that was noisy again, and turned around and left.
Seeing that Li Xiao really left, the people below finally became anxious. Although everyone knows that the situation that Li Xiao said does not have to pay taxes and does not have a garrison, it cannot happen. But if Li Xiao really withdraws, the Sea Clan will definitely attack the city. When the time comes, the wealth they have worked so hard to accumulate will surely be swept away. Even if his life was saved, everything he had worked so hard to gain was gone. But they were not willing to risk their lives to defend the city.
Seeing that Li Xiao was about to walk out of the school field, at this time. A luxuriously dressed mid-Yuan Infant Demon Clan with a big waist and a round waist suddenly stopped Li Xiao, only to hear him say: "This lord, please stay, I am willing to take out half of my property, and I implore you to protect us and continue to resist the Sea Clan." Hearing him say this, others echoed him.
Li Xiao turned his head and sneered: "It's not that I refuse to help you, it's that our current strength can't hold the city at all." ”
Hearing him say this, the demon thought for a moment and asked, "If we are willing to make a move, the Lord is somewhat sure that we will be able to defend this city." Keeping the Sea Clan out of the shield?"
Li Xiao said without thinking about it: "It's almost impossible to keep them out of the protective shield, there are too many of them." Entering a siege is almost a given, and all I can say is that with your help, our chances of victory will be higher. But if you don't make a move, we will lose this time. After saying that, he turned and left, never looking back.
This time there was a complete mess below, and people were talking about it, except for a few who blamed Li Xiao. Most of the other people are talking about what will happen to their property after the city is broken, and many people have already begun to think about how to escape from the chaos and how to keep their property when the city is broken. Soon everyone fled home, preparing to escape. At first, some people stayed and wanted to help defend the city, but when they saw that everyone had left, they also chose to evacuate.
When Li Xiao returned to the city, the situation outside was still the same. It's just that the type of Warcraft attacking has changed a bit. The river is still an army of Warcraft with no end in sight. Seeing this, Li Xiao sighed secretly in his heart.
Kuang Wuyang, who was checking the battle situation at the head of the city, found that Li Xiao was back and immediately walked over. When he saw the expression on Li Xiao's face, he knew the result.
So he asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Li Xiang did not answer him directly, but asked rhetorically: "Why is this happening? Where is the blood of the people here? In the places I have been to before, although there are many people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, at least they still have blood. But I can hardly see the slightest bit of blood in the people here. I saw almost nothing but greed, selfishness, ignorance, and blind obedience. If only one or two people are like that, I can understand that. But almost all of them are like this, and I can't imagine it. What the hell made them like this?"
Kuang Wuyang sighed and said, "Daoyou should have been in an inland city before, right? The demon clan there is not as rich as here. Many times you need to rely on your own hard work, and even have to work hard to get what you want. It's different here, it's a bit more affluent. To put it mildly, you can buy almost anything with magic crystals here, and you can achieve any purpose you want. Enjoy a life that ordinary people can't even think of. Therefore, they will enjoy it more, and they will be more greedy for life and afraid of death. In their eyes, there is nothing more important than their own life and magic crystals. As long as they can live longer and get more benefits and magic crystals, they are willing to pay any price. Including your own conscience. ”
Hearing him say this, Li Xiao was silent, and he finally understood. After a while, he raised his head, looked at Kuang Wuyang with a serious face, and said, "The people here are not worthy of me and my soldiers to protect with their lives. So all I can say is sorry, and if the shield reaches the point where it can't hold on, I'll lead my people away. ”
