Chapter Seventy-Five: To Accept or Not to Collect
The most direct beneficiaries of the arrival of High Priest Ryan are, of course, the Guards soldiers and the Big-Eared Monsters who have been badly wounded in battle, and High Priest Ryan is known to be a master limb magician.
At the request of the lord, High Priest Ryan gave magical treatment to these wounded soldiers one by one, and unlike Bishop Linze of the Church of Werning, who had a bit of a difficult technique, the wounded soldiers quickly recovered their health, and some of the more seriously injured ones only needed to recuperate for a few more days to fully recover.
The lord who was watching from the sidelines sighed at this - if Bishop Lin Ze also had such a level, then he wouldn't have to lie in bed for so many days in the first place.
And the busy and sweaty High Priest Ryan also sighed in his heart, he never thought that he would one day treat the notorious big-eared monsters on the mainland, which he had never even thought about before.
The first thing the Big-Eared Monsters did when they regained their health was to ask for an audience with the Lord Lord, led by Orison, and made a request for all of them to join the Lord Guard.
The warriors, who had regained their courage in the battle against the Elves, were grateful to the lord for not crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, and re-imprisoning their former prisoners of war deserters, but for treating their injuries and keeping their promise to return them to their freedom.
Between the long journey back to Diya to be a bitter soldier and staying in Hammondale to fight for a future with the weapons in their hands under this generous lord, all the big-eared monsters wisely chose the latter.
Twenty-eight big-eared monsters swore an oath in the name of the god Gebu that the big-eared monsters worshipped, and they would be loyal to the lord forever.
Not only did High Priest Ryan and the four angelic warriors feel unacceptable at this time, but even the female magician and the old butler beside the lord expressed strong opposition.
The sorceress's reasoning was this: "My lord, these big-eared monsters have attacked Hammondale before, what will the lords think if you take them?" Can they accept it emotionally? And whether it is Diya's big-eared monster or Krurod's big-eared monster all along, they are all evil existences, and they are always in a state of hostility with the empire, not to mention that they can help us before but because the situation forced them to do so, if you rashly accept them, I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain to the empire, and there may be hidden dangers! ”
The old butler put it another way: "Lord Lord! You can't agree to these big-eared monsters! What is their identity? They're big-eared bandits! Kill without blinking! There is also a legend outside that they eat people! They are such evil creatures that they shouldn't be in the world! How could a human noble lord accept these evil creatures that eat people as his own soldiers? This must not happen! ”
Whether it was the sorceress or the old butler's statement, it was agreed by many people, and some even began to denounce the whimsical behavior of the big-eared monsters on the spot, asking the lord to lock them up again.
The sight made the faces of Orison and the big-eared monsters look quite ugly, and some of the impulsive big-eared monsters had already begun to curse at the people who were denouncing them, and if their weapons had not been taken away by the guards after the battle, they might have started a fight on the spot.
Looking at the scene that was gradually getting out of control, High Priest Ryan was silent, just quietly observing the reaction of the lord.
"Shut up! Do you still have me as a lord in your eyes? Chen Jian, who was dizzy from everyone's noise, was a little annoyed, "I haven't even spoken!" What are you arguing about! ”
Seeing the lord's might, everyone stopped talking, and the big-eared monsters also quieted down again under Orison's suppression, and everyone looked at the lord with expectant eyes, hoping to hear the answer they wanted from his mouth.
However, to everyone's disappointment, the lord did not express his position directly, but turned his head to look at Polly and Robert, who had fought side by side with the big-eared monsters.
"What do you two mean? Let's talk about it! ”
In the face of the lord's inquiry, Polly and Robert, you look at me, I look at you, a little embarrassed.
From the time the quarrel began, the two of them were already very conflicted in their hearts.
From the standpoint of the human race, of course, they are reluctant to accept these big-eared monsters from the lord, and the estrangement between different races makes it a little difficult for them to accept this.
However, these big-eared monsters had saved the lives of two people in battle, and more than once, otherwise these two rookies who had just entered the battlefield would not have been able to escape smoothly in the fierce battle in the castle hall.
Now speaking out against them joining, it seems to be a little ungrateful, so the two of them wisely chose to remain silent and not help each other.
Unexpectedly, the lord's words pushed the two who were in a dilemma to the cusp.
The big liar Robert was depressed in his heart at this time, and he was really embarrassed, but he was surprised to find that the lord seemed to wink at him.
Robert was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
All the people who have just expressed their stance mean the same thing, don't accept it! The lord also had to ask himself the two of them at this time, didn't he obviously tell himself that the opinions of those people were not in line with the lord's wishes, so he wanted to use his and Polly's mouths to tell the true intentions of the lord's heart? Otherwise, why didn't he ask others, but instead asked himself and Polly who had fought with the big-eared monsters?
Even if the lord has such intentions, there must be a longer-term plan and plan in this that neither he nor anyone else can think of, and of course he should follow the lord's wishes.
Thinking about this relationship, Robert hurriedly kicked Poli who was not knowing how to be good with his toes, and then snapped and made a military salute, and then said loudly: "Lord Lord, Robert thinks that this big-eared monster soldier should be accepted, their performance in the battle has proved their determination to defect to the lord, not to mention that they also swore to their gods, I think they should be sincere!" ”
Although Polly didn't know what Robert's intention was by saying this at this time, he believed that his friend who had faced death together would not harm him, so he hurriedly echoed it.
The words of the two made everyone on the side in an uproar, but the big-eared monsters were overjoyed, and some big-eared monsters even gave a thumbs up to the two.
"Quiet! Be quiet! Seeing that everyone began to riot a little again, the lord had to speak out again to uphold order, and then his eyes turned to his half-elf guard captain: "Pete, what do you think?" ”
The half-elf hesitated for a moment before replying in a low voice, "Lord Lord, I don't want to express my opinion on this matter!" Thank you for your understanding! ”
"Why? Is it because your elven blood is embarrassing you? Jian Chen smiled, and seemed to be smiling very happily, with a smug look after the conspiracy succeeded, "Have you ever been excluded by the people around you because of your identity as a half-human and half-elf before?" ”
He remembered that when he wanted to recruit half-elves to join the guard, the old butler had also objected.
The half-elven guard captain's face was bitter, and he was a little gloomy.
If the lord doesn't open the pot, it uncovers a scar in the half-elf's heart that has not healed to this day.
