"Garbage from Black Pond Village, listen to me."

When Zhou Qingfeng stood on the low slope on the side of the road, he became the focus of everyone's attention for a while.

Luke and the others are wielding whips and forcing the villagers to form a team and hit the road. Wilson was busy sweating profusely, making the convoy as tight as possible and not procrastinating.

More than half of the people in the village received a small portion of baked bread for lunch, stuffed it into their mouths, and set off with the group. The remaining half were people who were considered useless, who were only given an order to assemble and subconsciously tried to keep up with the group.

The panicked, clueless, hectic atmosphere affected everyone. The adventurers who were with Zhou Qingfeng were also impetuous, organizing the march of the team was more of a headache for them than fighting, and there were too many details to pay attention to, which was too cumbersome.

When Zhou Qingfeng stood on a high place, when everyone saw his figure, the chaotic team suddenly quieted down. The 'wastes' in his mouth no longer ran around, but looked up at him, and his heart became calm in his impetuousness.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Qingfeng let out a long sigh of weakness again. He said aloud: "I want to tell you that there is not enough food in the village. If we want to survive, we have to go somewhere else to rob it.

But you should know very well that the village of Black Marsh is the weakest in the entire Black Forest. Some of you are not even as good as goblins, you can't fight, you can't work, you can't do anything, you're like this mud everywhere, useless.

I wanted to abandon you, and it would not bring me any guilt, let alone any loss. I was even able to save some food to feed those who would be useful to me. ”

The convoy had just left the village, and more than 300 people were crowded into an open space at the entrance of the village. The 'wastes' were all dumbfounded, looking at the boy on the low slope in a daze. It is as if they do not know that their fate has been decided at some point, or ......

Sit down under.

Wilson was originally very resistant to Zhou Qingfeng's order to bring all the villagers, and he didn't like the people in the village at all. Most of these despicable inferior people do not get along elsewhere, and the reason is often attributed to reasons such as 'lowliness'.

Wilson came from a commoner background and worked his way up to become president of the Craftsmen's Guild. He struggled to get in touch with the aristocracy of the upper class, and to draw boundaries with the poor of the lower class.

Luke and the others were the local tycoons, even in a poor place like the Black Forest, who owned a certain piece of land, built a large house, had attendants, servants, handymen, and even slaves, and became the lowest level of power.

These people also couldn't understand what Zhou Qingfeng was doing. They are not yet nobles, but they will never easily pity the lowest untouchables - the world has low food production, poor medical conditions, and human life is really not worth much, no matter how expensive or low.

For the most basic rulers, the death of some worthless untouchables makes the society more stable.

But Zhou Qingfeng doesn't think so, whether there is a need for a task or not, it is difficult for him to ignore the death of those 'wastes', he has not yet integrated into this world, and may never be able to integrate into it. He continued......

"I congratulate you on those who have received bread. I think you still have a little bit of value to me that you are willing to fill your bottomless stomach with precious food. But the food is not for you to eat for free.

I will drive you, oppress you, and even enslave you, and I want you to work for me. I want you to use your brains more and try to do everything I tell you to do. Because only I will raise you, and someone else would have abandoned you a long time ago.

I had only wanted to take fifty of my men with me, but Wilson relented and added fifty, and I graciously added a hundred. Don't let my kindness become a joke, or you'll be dead. There's only one chance, so don't blame me for being ruthless if you can't catch it. ”

There was a commotion among the 'wastes' in the convoy, and they understood.

The real heroes should be Luke's people. They don't need too many subordinates, because there is no way to cultivate them in the Black Forest. All they needed was a small number of strong attendants, a few capable and obedient servants, and at most a few miscellaneous servants.

That's enough.

Too much to raise.

For the homeless, Master Haoqiang doesn't need it at all. They can't even feed their own population.

Now if you want to survive, you really have to follow Victor closely. Hugo's side, only he will have a little pity for the lowly outcasts, and will take advantage of their meager labor.

Those who can join the team are naturally lucky, but those who can't?

That's the garbage that stands up. They dragged at the back of the line, staggering like zombies. Even Zhou Qingfeng couldn't think of what else these guys could do? Death may be a relief for them.

Zhou Qingfeng's eyes looked at those 'zombies', and he slowly shook his head and said, "For those who failed to join the team, I think you are really hopeless."

I don't have so much food to waste, so I can only abandon you and let you die in this village that is destined to have no way to live. ”

The zombie-like villagers were even more stupid than the garbage villagers, and they seemed indifferent to Zhou Qingfeng's words, blinking at most, as if they were deaf.

"But......" Zhou Qingfeng's tone changed again, "I don't want to be so cruel, I decided to give you a chance, a chance to live." We will go to the village of Iron Furnace, about twelve miles away, where I will wait for you.

I'll leave some food every two miles, and as long as you can keep up with the convoy, you'll be able to fill your stomach and continue on the next stretch of the road. As long as you can complete these twelve miles, I will accept you into my ranks.

I know that this journey will be a test and a torment for you. Those fools, idiots, and weaklings will give up the chance to survive at the first moment. I will also breathe a sigh of relief, and those who die will die.

I know most of you don't understand.

It doesn't matter, what I don't understand is not what I want to save. I speak only to those who can understand.

Only those who still have a little brain, the strongest desire to survive, the strongest will, and are willing to do everything can complete this journey and live. I would welcome such people.

Okay, don't say I didn't give you a chance to survive, let's go! ”

Zhou Qingfeng was concise, he waved his hand, and no longer had any hesitation to jump off the low slope and ride his horse.

The people of the entire team were stunned by this speech, and when they saw this wave of their hands as if they had been whipped, their spirits were suddenly shocked, and they involuntarily had a little more strength under their feet, and followed Zhou Qingfeng forward.

Luke and others originally thought that Zhou Qingfeng was a little too benevolent, but his words were completely utilitarian, without any hypocritical empty words and falsehoods, but ruthlessly revealed the current crisis, leaving a little hope at most.

But such ruthless words hide the greatest tenderness. A little hope is the greatest kindness.

The originally chaotic convoy became stable almost instantly, and the villagers in the convoy no longer made noise, but silently performed their duties. It doesn't take anyone's whipping to keep up with them.

Behind the convoy, some of the abandoned villagers were stunned, some sighed, and some simply sat on the ground and wept. But there were still a lot of people who took stiff steps, moving step by step to keep up in the direction of the convoy leaving. Even if the convoy is getting farther and farther away, they will not give up.

Zhou Qingfeng found Wilson and ordered: "Go and prepare some food, leave some for every two miles, and I will personally deal with this matter." ”

Wilson was extremely shocked by Zhou Qingfeng's decision, and asked rhetorically: "Your Excellency, do you really think that any of those extremely weak pariahs will be able to keep up with the convoy?" ”

"What if there is?" Zhou Qingfeng also asked in a deep voice, "There are more than 100 people who have been left behind, even if only one-tenth can keep up, there are more than a dozen people."

By the way, we are no better off now than those who were outcasts. We just have a few more days of rations than theirs. Therefore, the more difficult the environment, the more it is necessary to emphasize the role of will.

If they can make it this arduous journey, they will be true warriors. They will be reborn, and any stain on the past will be insignificant, and there is no reason why I should not take them in. They will be true warriors under my command. ”
