Session 7: Kneading (Middle)

This kind of thing, Townsend will never be humble, and he will never let go.

Not to mention that Townsend is now facing a camel leader, even facing Miss Wenli. Although he was vulnerable in front of the Ninth Apostle, in terms of force formation, development, expansion, and even war, Townsend felt that no one here could surpass him.

A firm leader, a group of closely united men, these are the most basic conditions. Not only do they want to take revenge, but more importantly, to survive on the West Coast, if they don't get along with each other, Warehouse Town may not accept them.

The reason why Townsend chose to escape in this direction has long taken these conditions into account. Picking out the details on the road, and even talking to the townspeople heart-to-heart, actually has the meaning of preparing for this goal.

If, after two days of consideration, Benneid still refuses to make a reasonable decision, Townsend will not give up. In fact, he is ready to seize leadership by other means at any time, and it is not difficult to implement.

But when it happens, Townsend will have a bad reputation, and he will feel guilty......

When a pot of locally produced wildflower tea was about to be drunk, Bennet's voice rang out at the door of the hall, and he coughed lightly as he stood there, and then raised his voice and said, "Mr. Townsend, if I don't bother you, I want to talk to you." ”

"Absolutely. Townsend said, "Bennet, I'm just waiting for you." ”

Benneid walked up to Townsend and saluted him, his eyes were red, as if he had cried again. Behind him, there were several other people who followed, townspeople, and stewards and guards of the caravan, all of whom were probably of high moral respect.

"Sit down, everybody," said Townsend, raising his voice, "monkey, get us something to drink." ”

"Thank you," Bennaider sat down across from Townsend, "Mr. Townsend, your friend, Ms. Anomala, was not present. But I think that when we talk, a noble psychic is the most appropriate witness. ”

"Is that still the case?" said Townsend after a moment's thought, and then said to the door, "Captain, invite Lady Marcia to come over for me." ”

Marcia was soon in the city, and to Towngson's surprise, she seemed to have known that there was going to be such a show today, even wearing the most formal attire and wearing the badge of the Apprentice of Abilities.

After arriving, she sat impartially between Townsend and Bennet, and her expression was very serious, and she gestured to the two with a solemn gesture, you can begin.

"As for Mr. Townsend's proposal, I have spoken to the caravan and the townspeople. Bennaider spoke first, without opening remarks, and went straight to the point: "Although everyone did not agree at first, after discussion, a consensus was finally reached. Therefore, you have entrusted me as a representative to negotiate more deeply with Mr. Townsend. ”

"It's still the same on my side. Townsend replied flatly: "What else do you, or someone else, want to know?"

"Thank you, Mr. Townsend, for your understanding, we do need to figure something out first. Benneid nodded and said, "For example, in Mr. Townsend's plan, where are we going?"

"The direction of our efforts is not a straight line, but more like a circle," Townsend dipped his fingers in water and drew on the table: "We start from Harvey Town, around the two cores of revenge and survival, everything is based on the basic principle of practicality, and moves in an unspecific direction. ”

"I don't know where we're going to turn halfway, but one day, after we've built up enough strength, we'll be back to Harvey Town as a starting point with these two cores. ”

"I see. Bennay replied to Townsend: "Revenge, each of us wants." And survival is a much more real issue. Mr. Townsend, your mind is very sensible. ”

"I've seen more than 50,000 people die, so I'm not going to hit this guy on the knife, that's called a madman. "It's complicated to survive and thrive, but now that we know the West Coast, we need to take advantage of it," Townsend said. ”

"We are of the same mind, and we have also come to the conclusion that, under the existing conditions, we will have a hard time without the help of Mr. Townsend. Bennet's expression was serious: "So, we hope to cooperate more closely with Townsend, even an alliance - but also ask Mr. Townsend to understand that we belong to a family, and no matter what we do, we have a bottom line." ”

"I'm listening. Townsend was noncommittal about the upcoming offer.

"First of all, I am the leader of the caravan, and it is my responsibility to protect this caravan, which may be the last in the family. "So the caravan can't be broken up, and if I can, I want to grow it." ”

"The caravan can be incorporated into our alliance as a special unit, and I won't move the commercial part, but the escort side will be drawn out, because we have too few armed personnel now. Townsend immediately made the decision: "Can you accept it?"

Benneid pondered for a moment: "In terms of guards, at most half of them will be drawn out." ”

"Yes, but you have to follow me, because I lack a person around me who is in charge of business, and the development of the whole group cannot be separated from business. Townsend's counteroffer was also very strong: "As for the camel team, you go and promote a deputy to be in charge." ”

Townsend surprised Bennett with this suggestion, and he hesitated for a long time before nodding his head, and then asked, "After forming a team, ...... our rights and obligations?"

"It seems that you haven't thought this through, okay, I'll explain it to you now. "We merge, but we're not an armed smuggling group, we're going to do our best to make money in the early stage, but making money isn't our ultimate goal," Townsend said. Once we have built up a certain base, we will change to a local power - unlike the secret work of Harvey, we will clearly divide the land, raise our own banner, and have our own army. ”

"Divide the land and rule?" Benneider was startled: "Your own army?"

"Or else?" asked Townshamp rhetorically, "you think you can take revenge with a lump of gold?"

"This ...... I don't know ...... about this."

"We're going to have a lot of caravans in the future. The caravan can keep reading, and you can grow it, but in the end it can't be more than three-tenths of the total caravan, and the same is true in terms of profit. "Others, including townspeople, can join other systems of the group and take on positions as long as they meet the criteria," Townsend said. I promise that I will give everyone an equal chance, and that you will not be able to prevent the townsfolk outside the caravan from joining other systems. ”

"So Mr. Townsend will be the leader of the group?" asked Bennet, "the only one?"

"That's right, I'll be the leader of this team. Townsend nodded slightly: "The only one." ”
