Chapter 173: Take control of your own destiny
For this request. Chen Jian was noncommittal. In Jian Chen's opinion. The battlefield is never for women, and the Medusa in a matriarchal society is just one. Exceptionally, women like the Witch Wizard and Sima are only a minority after all, and on the battlefield, men are always the main theme.
It's not that he discriminates against women, but it's true.
After Sima retired, Orisen asked a little puzzled, "Lord Lord, why did you take her?" This woman gives me a very dangerous feeling, and she is of unknown origin, and she does not know whether what she says is true or false! We can't guarantee that she has other purposes! It's too risky! ”
Jian Chen smiled faintly. said: "Actually, this matter is just two possibilities, either what she said is all true, and she sincerely wants to take refuge in me in order to achieve her ancient wish; Either that's false, she has some ulterior motives for us, so she wants to break into our interior so that she can do things easily! ”
Saying that, Jian Chen stood up and walked back and forth in the tent for a few steps: "Did you find it, she was quite calm from beginning to end, and she looked very sure." He even offered to put himself in prison. She is very fearless, this situation shows that even if she fails, even if we want to kill her, she has a way to get out safely, or in other words, even if she dies, it doesn't matter, the forces behind her have other ways to continue to deal with us in the shadows! ”
"So I decided to take her in, if what she said was true. We picked one up for nothing. Talent sent to the door; If what she says is false, then we can also spy on her and find out what kind of conspiracy she and the forces behind her have against us! lest they use other methods that we don't know to secretly make trouble, but become more passive! ”
"I see!" Orison was a little understood by Chen Jianyi, but then he proposed another possibility, "But in case her purpose is to be unfavorable to you." If you didn't make a move today because of bad timing, you're in a lot of danger! ”
Chen Jian laughed and said: "She has a saying that is very right, there will be a harvest if you pay!" The necessary risks are still to be taken, and now that she's in your control, it's much easier for you to guard against her than it is for her to sneak up on her in the shadows! I have a lot of confidence in you as the captain of the guard! ”
Then, he turned his head and looked at the half-elf: "You have been talking and stopping since you were talented, if you have anything to ask, just ask, you are the one who has followed me the longest among us, between you and me." There's nothing you can't say! ”
The half-elf hesitated for a moment before asking, "Lord Lord, is what that woman said true?" The purpose of your base soldier this time
Jian Chen sighed. "I knew you would ask that." Now, go get Temp Magician, Robert, Polly, Corsay, and Bruce together, and meet in the big tent for the meeting. It's time to explain this to you. ”
"I'll go. Your Lord! The half-elf nodded, turned and walked out of the tent.
When everyone arrived, Jian Chen told them about the situation he had analyzed before.
"That's the way it is, Her Majesty's situation is already quite awkward. If there is no accident, abdication is a matter of time, and everyone knows the sentiment of rejection of aliens in the empire, when the time comes, without the queen tree behind him, no one knows what Hammondale will become, and I, the lord who suddenly appeared, am afraid that I will also suffer some bad treatment because of my relationship with the empress and my attitude towards foreign races! At worst, he will be recorded to seize the territory and beaten back to his original form, or he may not even be able to save his life! ”
"Everyone knows that Hammondale is where it is today, despite the strong presence of Her Majesty the Queen. But we have done so much more for these achievements! Aside from Bruce and Cosai, who hasn't been on the brink of life and death a few times, including me? If it weren't for our luck, we would have lost all our lives in that battle with the elven army! In Bailders, we also narrowly escaped death twice! Everything we have today is what we have in exchange for our lives! We paid the price of blood for this! Therefore. We deserve it! If I had to give up like that, I wouldn't have done it! ”
"Therefore, in order to save these fruits that we have paid for with our lives, and in order to be able to protect myself, I will probably have to do something detrimental to the interests of the empire in the future! Of course, I don't want things to get to that point, and if I could, I really want Her Majesty to continue to rule the Empire! But if it is really a last resort, I will not give everything I have worked so hard to others! ”
"You are all my companions in adversity, and you have all given a lot to make Hammondale where he is today. You all have a lot of credit for it, and I just want to ask you one thing here, if that time comes. Are you willing to continue to follow me, to fight for ourselves and for Hammondal, for whom we have worked so hard! Of course, I must warn you that this is not an easy path. Maybe we'll die because of it! ”
After saying this. Jian Chen's eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one.
Except for Orison, who had been mentally prepared, the rest of the people were shocked.
Before they could digest and react to the astonishing information revealed in Jian Chen's words, Orisen began to take a stand! , "Collar tsk eight." If not you. I'm just a nobody in the army, and I can't have the status I have today! It is impossible to have the opportunity to show your strengths! The Erathian Empire will not accept a big-eared monster into its army! Because of your kindness to me, I have vowed to follow in your footsteps forever! Your sword is my goal! ”
As soon as Orison's words were finished, the sorceress Ashtemple also came back to her senses: "Your lord, your enemy is my enemy!" ”
said. She smiled at Jian Chen and stopped talking.
In the humble eyes she looked at Jian Chen, there was indescribable firmness and gentleness.
Pete, the half-elf who had already guessed something, also spoke after confirming Jian Chen's thoughts: "Lord Lord, just like you said to that woman before, even if everyone betrays you, I will definitely not betray you!" I am certainly willing to follow you forever! ”
Robert and Polly looked at each other and smiled.
Robert said: "My lord, without your original reception and awakening, I would still be just a personal annoying liar, and this alone is enough to make me loyal to you!" I'm certainly willing to follow you! ”
Polly also said: "Lord Lord, in fact, there is no need for you to ask me this question at all, it is you who pointed out another different path for me, so that I have a completely different life from the past, of course, like them, I am also willing to follow you forever!" And. I have a lot of confidence in you! ”
The attitudes of these people were all expected by Jian Chen. After all, everyone shared the hardships together, so he stayed on the last two new joiners.
Thor Troll Patriarch Bruce obviously didn't expect Jian Chen to say such a thing, and at this time, he opened his mouth wide, and he was already as motionless as a wooden chicken.
And Kesai obviously can't accept Chen Jian's statement. Although he is a friend of Chen Jian, he has not joined for a long time, and he has not fought on the battlefield like others, he is more about taking the things that Chen Jian handed over to him as a job to complete, although he is very conscientious because of Chen Jian's relationship. But if he and Jian Chen want to be enemies of the empire in the future, he is not mentally prepared at all.
Chen Jian was also a little worried about the reaction of the two at this time.
Bruce and his people are currently the most powerful force at their disposal, if they are not willing to join in the action. The impact on Jian Chen is considerable.
However, he also knew that as the patriarch of a Thor-troll tribe, Bruce had to be responsible not only for himself, but also for the whole down, and it was normal for him to have concerns.
And Kosai. It is an important figure that Chen Jian used to win over the hearts of foreign races. But his personality determines that he can't follow him without hesitation like everyone else, and Jian Chen is still very clear about this.
Kosai used to be very adventurous, but now he is different, and he has begun to want to settle down and live a stable life for the sake of Anne.
Otherwise, I am afraid that he will still wander around the mainland, instead of running to Hammondale to join Chen Jian.
If he chooses to quit, Chen Jian will not be surprised, but Chen Jian still has certain expectations for this friend who can help him a lot, and his ability is too important for Chen Jian now.
After a long while, Bruce finally made up his mind, grinned and smiled at Jian Chen, "Lord Lord, I am willing to follow you!" This is a great opportunity to change the fate of our people! I don't want to miss it, and so do my people! I will lead my tribe and always follow you faithfully. I believe in your leadership. The world will know in the near future, Thor. It can also be a great race".
After Bruce also made a statement, everyone's eyes were on Kosai.
"Don't look at me like that!" Kosai smiled wryly. said: "Although it is a bit embarrassing to say so. But I can only say that as long as you continue to rule this land, my lord, I am of course willing to continue to serve you! And I will do my best to help you succeed. Strive to give you the best help! But if you fail, then I can only find a way to be alone, after all, I am responsible for my family, I hope you can understand! ”
Jian Chen nodded and smiled.
Jian Chen knew that he couldn't expect everyone to die for him as a lord, he was not a saint. It is impossible to get everyone to agree with his approach and ideas.
At the moment, this situation seems to him to be a very good result, at least, even Kosai has chosen to continue to play for him before he fails, that is, as long as he does not fail, Kosai will always help him.
Similarly. As long as he is strong enough, even if he wants to establish a kingdom in Hammondale, Corsai will help him.
"Good. Now that everyone is willing to support me, then let's do it together! Our destiny, that of Hammondale, will be in our own hands from this day forward! ”
