Cruise smiled kindly: "Willis, whether you are by my side or Catherine, you have to choose carefully." ”

Willis's face turned pale, and he realized that Cruise and Old Thorn had a showdown with Catherine at this time.

He looked at the two sides, lowered his head, bit his lower lip tightly with his teeth, thought for a long time, and finally raised his head and said with difficulty: "I am seriously injured now and have lost my combat effectiveness. I'd better go back, they might need me. I hope you will come to our rescue when you arrive in Dieter. If...... If we are attacked by a monster, please give my reserve to my wife. My son, Tom Jr., is only two years old......" he said, tears streaming down his face.

"I'm glad to join the Flare Mercenary Regiment. Thank you, Head Catherine, and thank you. Wiping away tears, Willis dragged his badly wounded body and slowly walked in the direction of the makeshift camp where the badly wounded mercenary was.

Willis's cold voice sounded behind Cruise: "Don't worry, I will guarantee that the money that belongs to you will reach your wife safely, and not a penny will be missing!"

Cruise then winked, and Schmidt, his right-hand man, quickly caught up with Willis.

With a click, Schmidt covered Willis's mouth and twisted his neck.

Cruise sneered, "Those who are not by my side are enemies." ”

Lear looked at Willis's corpse, shook his head slightly, and said with a little regret: "If you choose us, you will personally send the gold carat to your wife, but it's a pity that ......" This kind of time is the most cruel, since it is not a friend, it is likely to be an enemy who shoots a sword against him.

Cruise gave Lear a contemptuous look, like a clown, and didn't take him seriously at all. He looked directly at Catherine, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Catherine, stop being stubborn, marry me." If you like, you can still be the head of the regiment. ”

Catherine's body didn't seem to have recovered, she looked at Cruise and asked in a very soft voice, "If I refuse, will you really kill me and seize power?"

Cruise smiled and said, "No." Today's ending is the only one, and that is that you marry me, and there is no other possibility. ”

Catherine sighed softly and said, "I won't marry you, not even if I die." Go away, and when you get back to the city, I'll give you the money that belongs to you, and we'll never know each other. ”

Cruise smiled and said, "You'll change your mind, you're my wife." ”

Catherine turned her head to look at the deputy head of the regiment, Elder Sanke, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Sanke, I said a long time ago, if you think that I am not qualified to be the head of the fire, then you point it out, I am willing to let you be the head of the group." Maybe you're just foolish enough to follow these traitors. If you could stand by my side, I think I'd forget about your choice now. ”

Cruise and the others' faces changed slightly, and the word "traitor" had already explained Catherine's position.

Old Sanke sighed, touched his bare head, and said with a sad face, "Little Catherine, I can't help it." I've been a mercenary in the fire for more than 20 years, and I don't want to do it anymore. Cruise promised to give me a third of his reserves as long as he helped him. After this mission, I will go back to Bain County to retire. Catherine, promise Cruise, he'll be nice to you. ”

Catherine had a look of mockery on her face and said, "It turns out that you sold yourself to Cruise for tens of thousands of gold carats. ”

Old Thorn sighed, "Why am I a mercenary? I've spent more than twenty years on the fire, and I have a clear conscience when I take that money. I'm old, my former brothers are dead, and I don't know what I need other than money. I'll go to the Duchy in the north and buy a lord, and then I'll go back to Bain and buy a piece of land, maybe a noble widow......"

"That's enough," Catherine interrupted Old Sanke, glancing at the person opposite, and said word by word, "according to the rules of the Firelight Mercenary Group and the Mercenary Guild, eleven of you have betrayed the Firelight, and I declare you to expel you! ”

After saying that, she swung her sword and drew a horizontal line in the ground, and the dust was light, completely cutting off the relationship with the person opposite.

"Good, good, that's my Catherine. Cruise smiled and said, "However, there are eleven people here who see that the beautiful head of Catherine is willing to give up the position of head of the group and marry Cruise, don't you think?"

"Of course!" Schmidt exclaimed.

"Yes, Lady Catherine never lies. Said the insidious Scar Loos.

Others "testified" one after another.

Cruise spread out his hands and said, "Do you see that?" Catherine, give up the pride in your heart and marry me." Together, we can raise enough gold carats to buy Dou Qi Crystals in two years, so that the fire will continue to exist. If you like, the Douqi Crystal can be used for you, haven't you always wanted to be a swordsman......?"

Catherine pointed her sword at Cruise, completely ignoring his tenderness, and sneered, "I wanted to let you go, but you won't let me go." In that case, we use our swords to decide who has the last laugh. ”

Cruise was confident, raised his right index finger and shook it, and said, "I knew you would do this, but you didn't have a chance." With that, the two men behind him took off the large bag they were carrying and took out two crossbows from the rags in the bag.

"It's ...... No wonder he was carrying these two bags even to escape......" Lear gasped. Those two crossbows were larger than Lord Pine's small crossbows, and they were powerful military crossbows.

Cruise smiled and took the crossbow and aimed it at Catherine and Lear, then handed it to his men, saying, "I told you, I've been preparing for a long time. Under the military and crossbow, you have no chance of winning. Marry me, or I'll knock you out and force you to marry me, you choose. ”

Catherine sneered, "It seems that you were prepared to seize power on this mission before you set off, and the presence of those bandits forced you to act early. If it weren't for those enemies, I'd be put under house arrest when we get to Port Lear, right?"

Cruise nodded and said, "You're not wrong at all. ”

Lear sighed helplessly, slowly stepped back, and said, "Catherine, don't talk nonsense with them. If you don't promise Cruise, even if Cruise doesn't kill you, the others won't let you go. If you really become 'Lady Cruise', will they have a good life?"

Scar Los suddenly pointed at him and scolded: "You little white face, if it weren't for you, Catherine would have married Cruise a long time ago." The reason why Catherine didn't agree to marry Cruise is because of you! What benefits did you give Catherine, and what did you and Catherine do outside the camp the other day?"

"Shut up!" Cruise glared at Lear in exasperation.

Lear suddenly showed a strange smile and said happily, "You're right, in a way, Catherine is already my woman. ”
