Chapter 470: Mercy Without Mercy
"We were supposed to live in a cave in the southeast." The gangster said tremblingly, "In order to avoid the invasion of the monsters in the Radiant Valley, I gave up my family property and fields in the mountains, ran into caves to take refuge, and then established a new village in the world in the mountains. ”
A village in a cave?
Isn't this the xenophobic and cowardly village I've been to before?
Having said that, I wasn't going to interrupt the account of the gangster in front of me, so I decided to listen to him.
"In the cave, we live very aggrieved." "Because of the rumor that monsters can transform into people, no one can leave the village, and no one can enter the village, so we live in a self-sufficient and muddy world in the mountains, and we don't even know what's going on outside." ”
"You're cut off from the world." Xizhao Yan said thoughtfully.
"Yes." The gangster nodded, "But one day, we found that the Radiant Valley was not so dark, so we learned that the monsters outside had been destroyed. “
"Ah, yes, in the past, the Radiant Valley was wrapped in an enchantment by monsters, and I couldn't see my fingers." Xi Zhaoyan nodded and said.
"That's right." "When we found out that the outside had become a habitable environment, we decided to go out and find a place to live. “
"And then you found it?" Yuzhaoyan's tone sounded a little angry.
The gangster hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, we were only going to find a place to live nearby, but we found that there was no land to cultivate around us, so our troops began to march in a northwest direction, and then we found your settlement. “
"You mean Camp Manyo?" This time I asked.
"That's right." He nodded, "Since this place is occupied by you, then we have no choice but to look for another place, and then we found this forest." “
"When we found this forest, there were no of you in this forest, and this place was the first place we discovered!" Speaking of this, the gangster was obviously a little angry, "But when we notified the large army to come, you had already taken this place first!" “
"So, you mean that you are the defenders of justice, and we are the aggressors?" I pinched my finger on his chin and shook it vigorously.
"I've never said that." The gangster shook his head, "Justice is written by the victors. ”
Hey, it looks like this guy understands a lot.
"So, do you have any other troops?" I asked, glancing around, then looking at him.
"We only sent out two batches this time." The gangster sighed, "To be honest, the population of our settlement is not large, and the living combat power sent over this time is almost all, so even if we want to launch a counterattack in the future, it is unlikely." ”
"Why should I trust you?" I asked rhetorically, "You can speak irresponsibly now, and you can say whatever you want, and even what you said before may be false." ”
"If you don't believe it, forget it." The gangster closed his eyes, "Anyway, I'm going to die, and I'm just going to die with those people you killed before." ”
"yes, do you really think you're going to die?" I smiled and put my hand on the rope that bound him, "What if I tell you now that you're free?" ”
As the black mist flashed through his fingertips, the ropes tied to the gangster's body were instantly corroded and broken.
"...... this?" The gangster felt his body suddenly stretch, and immediately opened his eyes, looked at me in disbelief, and was speechless.
"You're free." I repeated what I had just said, then pointed to the exit of the command post, "Go back, I won't kill you." ”
"Huh?" Xi Zhaoyan's reaction at this time was the same as that of the gangster, "Why did you let him go?" ”
"No why." I smiled at her, "It's just a mercy." ”
Xi Zhaoyan looked at me like a madman at the moment.
"Let's go." I said to the gangster again, "Give you one last chance, hurry up, and don't come again." ”
The gangster looked at me and cautiously took a step in the direction of the exit, as if he didn't want to believe that what I had just said was true.
'Hum. ’
So I immediately flashed my black lightsaber at him, "Do you want to go?" ”
"Gone, gone, gone!" When the gangsters saw that I had my weapon in my hands, they immediately fled from the place with their hands and feet, and disappeared into the vast green sea of the forest.
"Hey!" Xi Zhaoyan confronted me and asked, "Now you can explain, why did you let him go?" ”
"What do you think can be done to achieve peace?" I answered her question with a question.
"Peace?" Xi Zhaoyan was a little confused by my sudden question, "Then I think it should be that I don't fight, if I don't fight, will it be peaceful soon?" ”
Sure enough, it was a simple idea.
"Okay, then let me ask you again, what do you think you need to do to avoid fighting?" I asked again.
"Ah...... That's what you say. Xi Zhaoyan suddenly looked at me, "It seems that what you did just now is such a thing, if you put this person back, he will think that you are a good person, and then their settlement will not have much combat power, so naturally they will not come." ”
"Is that really the case?" I shook my head.
"If they really covet our forest, then they will come and take it by any means." I pointed to the large jungle around me, "These are great treasures for them and for us, and in the face of such wealth, no one will be willing to give it away, not even if they are seriously injured." ”
"In order to fight for this place, they may use all kinds of means, and they will definitely use all kinds of tricks that can be on the stage and those who can't, because they are in the dark, and we are in the light, and as long as we don't know where they are, they will always take advantage of our lack of intelligence and narrow vision to constantly consume us." I said slowly, "So there's no way they're going to be like us just because I let one of them go." ”
Xi Zhaoyan stood in place, a little stunned when he listened. It took a while for a question to come to an end.
"Then why did you let him go?"
Hearing this, I smiled.
"That's the question you should ask." [.]
