Chapter 044: (Fateful Choice)

As he walked out of the woods and returned to the group, Alleyne briefly told Victor about what had happened in the woods.

Victor's face flashed a strange look slightly, but he didn't blame Alleyne for it. Because any bloody mercenary has his own sense of justice. He is no exception.

Julia and Desay Vi were arranged to ride in a wagon with supplies with Jamila, Cress, and Mathilde. The 'little man' Roman was in charge of driving the car, which attracted the envy of many mercenaries.

Jamila and Julia, both born into rich families and having almost the same experience, quickly start talking. Desaivi's personality and body are very similar to Mathilde, both of them are heroines among women, and naturally there are topics to talk about. Only the withdrawn and indifferent Cress was left behind.

"Huh?" Momocha's little thief eyes looked around. "Why are the Rhodok soldiers watching us gone?"

"A cavalryman arrived, and then all the Rhodok soldiers withdrew. "'Big man,' Hank replied in a gruff voice.

"Didn't you hear what the cavalryman said?" asked Mo Mocha then.

"It's about a mercenary in disguise of Swadia knights found near the town of Imer," Hank said impatiently. "I heard that a team of military supplies sent to the front line was burned. ”

Hearing this, Momocha hesitated for a moment, and then shouted hysterically at his companions around him, "Do you have any partners to go with me into the woods?" ”

"What are you going to do?" asked Hank, who was on the side, curiously.

Mo Mo Cha laughed twice and replied, "Of course there are good things, don't say that I have good things to tell you in advance." ”

"What's that good?" asked Hank.

Momo Tea grinned. "A dozen sets of armor and sophisticated weapons, do you want it?"

Hank frowned slightly, and said suspiciously, "Then why don't you guys bring these good things out? Why do you all come out empty-handed?"

"We're worried that the Rhodok soldiers who are watching on us will find out and cause a fight," Mo Mocha said truthfully. "Now that they're gone, we can just go into the woods and rip those armor and weapons off the corpses. ”

"Hank, Joey, Rhodes," Victor commanded, gesturing to a few mercenaries beside him. "A few of you, go with Momo Tea, and the rest of the people continue to hurry. ”

Mo Mo Cha suddenly had an inexplicable feeling that the head of the regiment was going to reuse him? I saw that he took Hank and the rest of his companions into the woods beside the road with a happy face.

The rest of the mercenaries, led by Victor and Ellene, continued on their way, with Merck following Resarit at the very rear of the group. With the exception of a few ladies and Roman, who was in charge of driving the car, each mercenary in the team rode a horse, looking like a squad of guerrilla cavalry.

Most of the mounts under the crotch of the mercenaries are native Rhodoc dwarfs/**, and only a few are tall horses from the Swadia Plain. On the uneven roads of the Rhodok Mountains, those tall and sturdy horses are prone to foot injuries, on the contrary, short legs are more durable.

"What are you thinking?"

Lost in thought, Alleyne came back to his senses and looked down at the regimental commander who was riding alongside him. "Old man," he asked. "Between cruelty and cruelty, what would you choose?" he said, rehashing the question Desay Vid had asked him.

Victor's gaze paused without a trace, and he replied slowly: "The word ninja is like a knife hanging over the head, in fact, the bright knife does not just stay on the head, but directly to the heart, which is a hundred times more thrilling than on the head." ”

"Think about it! A knife rests on his heart, and he may fall one day, and although he cannot sleep, he can only silently endure the bleeding from the bottom of his heart day and night," continued Victor in a deep voice. "It's as terrifying as looking for lice on a lion's head. ”

Alleyne suddenly realized that the hatred and shame buried in the old man's heart had made him endure for more than ten years, and he even suspected that the old man had given up the idea of revenge. After all, the other party is a noble lord of Svadia, and for mercenaries, it is difficult to take revenge.

I shouldn't have asked him that. Alleyne said to himself. For the old man, it was too cruel. "But ......," he asked. "What if you can't bear it?"

"As a mercenary, if you can't bear it, you will make trouble, at least your head will be broken and bleeding, and at worst you will lose your life. Victor's answer was unambiguous, but there was a faint pain in his heart. It was as if the knife had slashed at his heart.

"But, no matter how stoic the mercenaries may be, their hearts are bleeding the same. This is undoubtedly a cruel injury to self-esteem and life-"

But it is also a necessary choice under certain conditions. Victor picked up. "If the mercenaries can have the right to speak and choose in this world, they don't need to be ninja at all. ”

In front of the noble lords, whether it is a soldier, a mercenary, or a knight, there is no other choice but to obey, even if he is humiliated, he must endure it. And this is the so-called reality.

Forced by the constraints of the environment, the situation or the strength of the individual, many times, in many cases, mercenaries cannot resist some people who attack them or the force, but prefer to choose to endure, which is both a need and a tactic.

"Aren," Victor asked in a tone that was both gentle and slow. "What choice would you make between cruelty and cruelty?"

"I will not choose to endure humiliation, let alone cruel revenge," Alleyne replied in a low voice with a resolute tone. "I would make a third choice between the two. This is the second time he has said the same thing, but not by the same person.

"Your so-called third option is nothing more than escaping, just like when you were framed and slandered by your stepmother, you chose to flee from your father's castle and give up your original surname. Victor's expression was solemn and serious. "Isn't that cowardice?"

The other party's words poked at his sore spot. Ellen clearly felt that there was something, caught in the depths of his heart, stabbing and tearing open with blood and flesh, inch by inch. He stubbornly said: "I believe that I can control my own destiny. ”

Those unbearable memories of the past filled his chest like rushing waves in an instant. He only felt the surging thoughts and emotions, and those long-ago past events rolled over him like a wave, wave after wave, hitting him dizzy and drenched in cold sweat.

"We always believe that we can control our own destiny, but we don't know the way, and our whole life is actually being manipulated by fate. Before he could reach out, he was already on the ground. Fate is not changed if we want to, more often than not, we can only wait for the opportunity to change. ”

"It's like we always believe that we can make choices, but we don't know that the most important thing is that choices determine our lives. Victor suddenly came to a conclusion. "We can't choose when we are born, we can't choose our parents and brothers," he said, looking at his companions around him. "Again, we can't choose what kind of people we're going to work with. ”

"Why don't we create opportunities, but wait for them?" retorted Ellene. "We can't choose our parents and brothers, but we can choose the path of life. ”

"Is mercenary your choice?" asked Victor, answering for him. "No, your dream is to be a knight. But in order to survive, you can only choose the mercenary industry, just like most mercenaries, for the sake of gold, in order to survive, you have to choose this line of work. ”

"My dreams still haven't changed," Alleyne said with unwavering confidence. "I always believed that my life would change one day. I also believe that those who have given and worked hard will also have a day when their fate will be changed. ”

"Speaking of which, it's actually the same sentence. A smile crossed Victor's battered face. "Even if you have a group of wolves with teeth and claws around you, in order to survive, you still have to learn to dance with wolves. His wry smile was full of helplessness and awareness.

"Dances with wolves?" Alleyn whispered. "Wouldn't that put our situation in a more dangerous position?" he suddenly had an ominous sign that the old man would make a dangerous decision in the near future.

"If you can't be more vicious and cruel than wolves in a wolf pack, then you might as well be a tame sheep. Victor said calmly. "Although this can't guarantee our own safety, at least it can keep us alive, and we have the capital to turn the tables. ”

Alleyne felt that there seemed to be something else in the old man's words, what was he hinting at me? What exactly?

"Or, we're a wolf," Victor continued, regardless of whether Alleyne was listening carefully or not. "It's just that the beastly nature has not yet been stimulated, or it has not yet realized its own strength. ”

"At this time, if you don't give up, don't give up, and take setbacks as an opportunity to make yourself stronger faster and better, one day, we may be able to become the first wolf in the pack. ”

Alleyne seemed to have guessed the other party's thoughts, but he couldn't directly pick out the doubts in his heart to the other party. Asking the old man if he was planning to take refuge with the Earl of Casto in order to seek help in reclaiming his wife undoubtedly poured salt into the old man's wounds.

"What about cruelty, old man, what do you think of a person who chooses to be cruel?" Alleyne turned around, and his deep gaze couldn't help but leave the carriage behind him, he didn't look at Jamila, but at Desaivi, who chose to be cruel.

"Cruelty will hone a person to be strong instead of cold-blooded, cold-blooded is just an ornament of a fragile pretender, only a capable person will not become cold-blooded, but will become strong on the outside and soft on the inside. Victor emphasized. "I'm sure you can too. ”
