Although he was already furious, Anthony still understood the meaning of Mikel's last sentence, and his face, which had just been angry, instantly changed into an incredible expression, and he couldn't help but talk to himself unconsciously.

It's not that he doesn't want to believe the elders in his family, but the enemy is indeed powerful, and even if all the population in his hands goes to the battlefield, he will be sent to death.

What's more, there are many women, children and some old people among his people, and not everyone of these people can go on the battlefield to kill the enemy, so he felt incredible after Mikel finished speaking.

"You were wrong at the beginning, really wrong. The Evan who killed your father didn't come for you, he came for the entire clan, and his purpose was not only to kill you, but to kill everyone in the family! ”

This time, the old man Mikel ignored Anthony with a shocked look on his face, and said directly in a hoarse voice.

"What do you mean?"

After listening to Mikel's words, Anthony seemed to have grasped something, but he still didn't know anything. He subconsciously looked at the old man, his eyes full of dazedness and ignorance.

"My meaning is very simple, this time Evan came with a large army, he definitely didn't just want to destroy you, his appetite is greater, he wants to exterminate our family as a whole, so, this is not just your business, but our entire family business, including Gail and Garay, so you must first unite to defend against the foreign thieves, that is, unity."

Mikel's eyes burned, and he said to Anthony with certainty.

"With the two of them?"

Anthony heard Mikel's words, and his originally raised head lowered slightly, and the murmur in his mouth revealed uncertainty.

As the eldest of the brothers, he really didn't want to unite with those two younger brothers one day, because all he thought about all day was how to put those two younger brothers to death so that he could become the true master of this territory.

"Is this the only way?"

He looked down and thought for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Mikel and asked, he didn't think of any other good way, so he hoped that Mikel would give him a second way to choose.

"There's another way, and that's to run away. But if you do that, the result is that you'll be the laughing stock of the whole of Navia, including your people. And you should never be given the opportunity to succeed your father, and no one of the people will support such a cowardly leader, nor will you be welcomed by any other chief, but will be reduced to a wretched wanderer, and your men will leave you, and everyone will be ashamed of you. ”

Mikel's hoarse voice sounded more solemn and solemn at this moment, and even made people feel cold and indifferent. He wanted to show Anthony that once he chose the latter, the consequences he would face would be absolutely harsh and cruel.

As expected, as Mikel's words fell, he saw Anthony's body standing in front of him shake violently twice, and then his face turned pale and sweat oozed from his forehead.

Seeing Anthony's appearance at this moment, Mikel's heart was even more sad, and his eyes also showed contempt, he felt sorry for the family to have such a descendant.

Now his hand was on the hilt of his sword hanging from his waist, his eyes were fixed on the panicked Anthony in front of him, he was waiting—waiting for Anthony to give him an answer, and if Anthony chose to fight the enemy to the end with his army, he would be relieved even if he died.

However, if Anthony chooses the second path, then he will not hesitate to draw his sword and strike hard, even if he is killed by Anthony in the end, he will do so, he does not want to watch the descendants of his family discredit the family, their family is a family of heroes, even if they die, they will die on the battlefield.

"I'll order the whole clan to set off and prepare to retreat!"

Time passed slowly in Anthony's thoughts, and finally he looked up and accepted Mikel's opinion.

After a long wait, Anthony finally calmed down, he knew that Mikel was right, if he ran away now, even if he survived the worst of the time, then he would lose everything, he had made so many efforts to make him give up the position of leader, he was really unwilling.

Eventually, his status and the consequences of his escape prevailed over his fear, and he decided to fight for his family's sake and for himself, and there was only one way for him to go.

"Now that you've decided, the first thing you should do now is to send someone to tell Gael and Garay about the situation here, and tell them to join forces and prepare for battle."

Mikel was relieved to see that Anthony had not disappointed him in his last moments, and the expression on his face was not as stiff as before, and his voice was still hoarse, but not as stiff as before.

The rest of the day was easy, and after dispatching a liaison, Anthony led his people and quickly evacuated into the distance.

As Anthony's men disappeared into the dust, Evan and the three leaders were sitting on stakes, eating barbecue, drinking wine, and talking happily.

Evan was very happy at this time, and as for whether the three leaders sitting in front of him were pleasant or not, it was not Evan who cared about it.

The reason for Evan's happiness is that he did not agree with the three leaders' plan at the beginning, that is, to take advantage of Anthony's unpreparedness to destroy this enemy, and although the three leaders were unwilling, because Evan was under the absolute strong force oppression, the three leaders did not do anything excessive, and accepted Evan's proposal and let each other go.

It's not that Evan is a gentleman, he wants to talk about what gentlemanly demeanor on the battlefield and give the other party time to prepare in advance, it's not that he doesn't care about the life or death of his soldiers.

In fact, with Evan's consistent bad character, and from the sneak attacks in the middle of the night, it can be seen that Evan has always believed in the wise saying that forbearance is king, and he has always done so.

But this time, Evan seemed to be a different person, and he actually gave such a good opportunity not to eat the opponent's combat power first, but to let the opponent escape and tell the opponent to prepare for battle...... It's so weird.

Evan's decision not only surprised the three new leaders, but even Olaf and Aure, who were familiar with Evan, were very strange.

However, even though they were surprised, they didn't immediately ask Evan what he was doing so. First of all, Evan is a lord, their leader, so his decisions are to be obeyed unconditionally, whether right or wrong, which is a Viking tradition that has been passed down since ancient times.

After several months of rigorous militarized training, everyone seems to have become accustomed to absolute obedience, and they are accustomed to not asking the words "for what".

Evan didn't care about the lives and deaths of his men, now he was no longer a benevolent person, and after a few things, he knew the truth of eliminating evil.

But then again, he was a businessman in his previous life, even if his personality has changed greatly now because of the things he has encountered, some characteristics of a businessman in his bones are deeply rooted in the soul and are not so easy to erase.

This kind of businessman's personality makes him do everything with a strong purpose, he will not do things without interests and benefits, he will unconsciously put interests first every time he thinks about problems, even if there are no interests, he must find a way to create benefits, and when he can not die, he tries not to let his subordinates bleed.

But what happened today was very different from Evan's usual style, and it was too far from it. Did he really want to let himself gather so hard and the warriors die like this?

Evan was also extremely uncomfortable when he made this decision, his warriors were gathered by him little by little, and they had undergone special training, so it can be said that everyone had his heart and soul, and he didn't want any of his subordinates to die like this.

But no matter how uncomfortable he was, no matter how reluctant he was, no matter how reluctant he was, even if he knew that the three leaders were completely correct in their proposal to clean up Anthony, Evan couldn't choose to do so today.

He came with such a vigorous and fanfare with his soldiers, not just to sneak up and clean up a small Anthony, his goal was to defeat Ramqvist's three heirs and their soldiers with overwhelming combat power and absolute superiority in the frontal battlefield.

Evan wants to use the strong combat power of his tribe to deter those who dare to peep at him, and he wants to use this battle to "knock the mountain and shock the tiger", so that those greedy guys who dare to fight his idea will weigh their own weight in their hearts before they want to come to him for trouble, see if their weapons are sharp, think about whether their necks are hard enough, and whether they can afford to pay a high price.

That's why Evan went against the norm and gritted his teeth and was ruthless, not to destroy Anthony as an enemy first, but to let them go and inform the others to form an army to defend their territory and status.

Evan wanted the other side to do this, he hoped that the other side would unite all their forces to form an army and his men in a big battle, and he knew that there would be people dying that way, and maybe many more.

But now Evan has to do this in order to create some time for himself to develop and grow, in order not to be worried and threatened by the greedy lords, so that his people do not have to fight all day in the near future, in order to go to the British Peninsula to plunder, and bring back more materials needed for development, for the sake of his ideal "freedom".

Although helpless, this step must be taken, he has no choice but to do it. He needs time too much now, he needs a stable rear, he needs time to grow.

There are so many reasons that he chose to sacrifice his ego to give his tribe and himself a hope, and it also made him "selfish" in desperation!
