Chapter 14: A Good Commander
- I see.
Neos's declaration of revenge was very imposing, and Yang Yun also understood in an instant, what kind of mental journey this young man had gone through.
Hatred is indeed a powerful force, not only can completely change a person's inner world, ignite the motivation for revenge, and even make them willing to give up everything for revenge. Nyos's emotions and actions at the moment are the embodiment of this power.
The things that used to be most important to him have become insignificant in the face of revenge. If the Nanyanzhou team really failed so badly as Neos said, and even the members of their team were captured by Yuri as experiments, living a life of survival and death, then all this was enough to make Neos have a strong sense of revenge, and all of Yang Yun's questions were answered.
"So you pinned all your hopes on our Middle-earth team, and took the initiative to send a probe to lure us here, wanting to help you get revenge by taking refuge in us."
Looking at Neos's crazy look, Yang Yun could understand why the young man in front of him who had lost his legs had become so extreme. In this case, his actions are no longer mere strategies or layouts, but an explosion from the inside out, an effort to incarnate himself as a vengeful ghost.
- However, this attitude is not to my liking.
"I don't really like the way you speak, and the way you judge the good and evil of the Lord God, and try to morally kidnap us by treating the Middle-earth team as a good person. The outcome of the battle between the South Yanzhou team and the North Ice Continent team is your own business, and if you plan to pin your hopes on us, you are really looking in the wrong direction. ”
- Especially the attitude of putting one's own layout above the life and death of one's peers.
Yang Yun looked at Neos, as if he saw a wise man, or the kind of wise man who was dictatorial, had strong confidence in his own layout, and had no room for others to question. Judging from the reaction of Richard beside him just now, the matter of releasing the detector and attracting the attention of the Middle-earth team, Neos did not reveal anything to his teammates at all.
In other words, without the knowledge of his last remaining teammates and the three characters who trusted him wholeheartedly, Neos tied everyone present to his chariot and gambled with the wise man, who had already failed once. He bet that the Zhongzhou team will stand on the side of "justice" under the judgment of the main god's good and evil value, and will not attack the half-crippled them; It's also a bet that the Middle-earth team will need their intelligence, their information, and leave them alive.
Yang Yun's mind shuttled between the reality in front of him and the picture of memory, and he saw the shadow of a gambler in Neos. Those who lose at the table have a look in their eyes that is both desperate and obsessed with transshipment. They put their last hope on the unknowable next game, even if the probability is slim, even if the price is high, they are willing to bet everything they have, just for that possible victory.
At this time, Neos is like those gamblers. He's lost his legs, and some of the most important things, and still wants to turn the tables around in this game. From his eyes, Yang Yun saw the same persistence and determination, the kind of embarrassing struggle that refused to give up even though he knew that he might fail again.
- Sure enough, even if some people are different from them in the original world, what is hidden in their bones will not change...... Neos is still the guy who thinks very highly of himself and doesn't treat his teammates as partners, but he can't recognize how many pounds and taels he has.
- If Chu Xuan really succeeded in seizing power and became the captain of the Zhongzhou team when he entered the alien form, then the Zhongzhou team under his leadership might also be like this...... The lives of the players will only become pawns on the layout chessboard, stepping stones and consumables on the way to final victory, and finally exhausted in his gambling again and again.
The situation of the Nanyanzhou team at this time can be described as precarious, and there is almost no bargaining chip left. In this situation, Neos still chose an extreme path, betting everything he and the rest of his team had on the table, trying to turn the tide with a last-ditch effort.
The young man who had lost his legs was using his skillful words as much as possible, trying to put the Nanyanzhou team and the Zhongzhou team on the same level by tying himself and the plot forces, which was a manifestation of his efforts to fight for a trace of dignity for himself and the team. But sadly, his actions are not to fight for a slightly favorable position for the Nanyanzhou team, but to preserve his last dignity...... Even so, this position is built on extremely fragile foundations.
In other words, he said the softest words in the hardest tone.
Yang Yun actually couldn't understand Neos's thoughts very well, just as he couldn't understand why Neos had such an arrogant attitude at the same time, and his narrow-mindedness that would actually be killed by Chu Xuan's anger...... But Neos did win the bet in this game.
The Central Continent team really won't attack the half-crippled Nanyanzhou team, and what Neos took out was enough to buy his own and Richard's two lives. And a living Neos is also more useful than a dead Neos.
The former can get intelligence, information, and a series of help, while the latter can only get two B-level side plots and 14,000 reward points, and then add two points to the score of the Middle-earth team battle this time. Although the chasm of the side plot and reward points will never be satisfied, the Middle-earth team, which has been ruthless once in the previous world, can't look at this reward for the time being, so Neos, who lost his legs, and Richard, who was seriously injured and had been destroyed inside his body, saved his life. But......
"You must rarely ask for help, and you rarely surrender."
Looking at Neos's death-defying eyes, Yang Yun shook his head: "As the captain of the Southern Yanzhou team and the commander of the Soviet Alliance, your behavior like this will chill the people who follow you." ”
The leader of a team must not only have courage and determination, but also have calm judgment and a responsible attitude towards his teammates. Each of their decisions has a direct impact on the fate of the entire team, and extreme behavior often leads to distrust and destabilization within the team...... In the past of the Middle-earth team, Zheng Zhe didn't know how much suffering he had suffered, but even the one who killed all his teammates in Resident Evil II did not turn into a vengeful ghost like Neos and embarked on that extreme path.
"A good commander only needs to constantly bring victory to those under his command, no matter what the cost."
Neos replied without hesitation, without a hint of hesitation: "That's my answer." (End of chapter)
