This sentence naturally caused a burst of exclamations, mixed with a few words of "You are crazy!" These words came very consistently from his brothers.

He gave them some time to make the noise they felt they should have made when they heard the unexpected Jianyì, and only spoke when the voice had subsided and their mental state had adjusted to the point where they could be persuaded to do so, "Why not?" ”

This sentence caused another roar, if a person who had not experienced such a scene would think that he had fallen into an angry lions, and Adair was very experienced in dealing with such scenes, he waited quietly for them to vent their love again, and after his voice gradually became softer, he continued: "It is not unexperienced for us to accept the command of a foreign race, we were mercenaries, in St. Omier, haven't we? I think you all remember. ”

"Yes, but that's temporary...... one of his brothers questioned, "we're freedom fighters, just getting paid to fight for others." ”

"He's right!" Others should be reconciled, mercenaries are not an unacceptable profession for bandits, they are all cutting people anyway, the difference is only whether the reward is taken by themselves or sent by others.

"So, do you think we'll be dragged to stone-throwing like those pathetic captives and rebels after we surrender?" Adair shook his head, "I'm proposing this right now precisely to save you from being dragged to stone." ”

They all stared at him dumbfoundedly, clearly confused by his later words.

Adair sighed inwardly, he still had to explain something so obvious, but if they weren't all so stupid. It is not his turn to be the leader of the group," I told you before. The new king of Neustria, who is recruiting, is ambitious. Not limited to the nobility, but from all the children (these will certainly be needed much later), and even a country peasant woman knows that the new government is short of people! What does this mean? Opportunity! A chance to get a decent position within her government! I also told you that she was going to build a new navy! Think about it, a queen who is very short of people, and has to conjure a navy from nothing, at this time, we, a group of sailors and seasoned warriors who are accustomed to sailing in storms. What would she say when she came to her? Come on, pull this group of experienced water warriors to do whatever you want, and then waste a lot of extra money to raise another group of clumsy sailors? She wouldn't do that as long as she had a little sense! ”

"What if she doesn't have any sense at all?"

"Then we should have filled up the treasures of the Great Abbey by now."

"However, she can recruit from the fishermen of Neustria."

"And then a lot of money and time was wasted training them to sail in storms and fight on ships."

"But even if she takes us, what good will we gain? The Neustrians will not trust us, we are also second-class citizens there. Another questioned, "We don't have to. It's one thing to be a temporary mercenary, it's another to be permanently obedient, and besides, we don't even go to Neustria. There are also many pastures where harvests can be obtained. ”

"It's getting less and less every year." Adair pointed out this, and then he pointed out another, "If she is content only with Neustria." Then she didn't need such a huge army at all, the original nobles were enough. Instead of using her brains on the civilians - the civilians who also wanted to take advantage of the children's labor force, she wanted to build an extremely large army. Once this army is established, it is impossible to bask in the sun all day. I think in a few years, she will definitely build the beacon to other countries, and by that time her navy was already crowded, and we couldn't find a decent place there, in short, surrender as soon as possible, some stars only light for a few days. ”

The previous skeptic snorted contemptuously, "I don't think it's likely, they call back and forth a lot, but that's all it takes - take a few peasants from the other side, take a forest - at their pace, she won't be able to eat half of her neighbors in a hundred years, and we still have a lot of places to hunt." ”

"If it was 'them' before, they wouldn't even be able to keep their own country." Adair's tone was soft, but not low, making sure that everyone who heard the question heard his answer as well.

"Hey, even if she were as good as you say, a knife just right could put an end to this ambitious and exaggerated plan - or a disease."

"At that time, the navy will be ours." Adair said this with a look on his face and he said, "Let's surrender." "It's no different.

“…… Are they so stupid that they won't guard against us? ”

"Oh, if they kill their queen, they'll be so stupid," Adair scoffed, "with such a bunch of fools ruling Neutria, let's not talk about getting the navy, it's not hard to get all of Neutria." He accentuated the word "whole."

Adair's plan was eventually successful, and it succeeded half because of his clever calculations and persuasion, and half because he had sacrificed some face beforehand to leave the most belligerent, the most plundering, and the most likely opponents of the plan at the mouth of the Ashpart—he didn't do it out of his mind, but who called the mouth of the Ashparti not so many boats? He is a pirate leader, not a virgin, and he has no consciousness of sacrificing his life to force a group of stupid X-people who don't want to run away to escape.

They waited for some time at the mouth of the river until a few who escaped by swimming brought the news that those who had left behind had been wiped out.

It seems that there is no fluke.

Since they can't fight, surrender has become one of the options, not to mention that after losing their men like this, Adair's people may not be safe even in the Far North - the Far North is not a peaceful paradise, and their blood enemies will definitely not let go of a good opportunity for them to be weakened - this is the key to Adair's bent on surrendering to the enemy, no, he is not surrendering to the enemy, he is looking for a chance for his people.

Some people have concerns about proselytizing, but this is not a problem at all for Adair, who has no discipline to speak of, "I tried, but it was just to wash my hair, and we used to take cold showers less often?" That's how he convinces.

However, after the letter expressing his will was shot with an arrow, the letter returned with no mention of proselytism.

The Nuustrian queen made a very normal but somewhat harsh request to them, which fully demonstrated her cautious concern for this unruly group of pirates: "I will trust you when I take all the wives and children of the chief into my palace as hostages." ”

However, she still greatly underestimated the other party, and she fell into a situation where she was inferior to birds & beasts, and her name will remain for eternity. (To be continued......)
