When Palup and Renault led their respective troops into the Black Iron Harbor unharmed, they were also shocked by the port's unifying and heavy offensive nature.

Parip directly complimented Lucius: "Oh God, Your Highness Lucius, you are so powerful that you can take such a fortress with just one steam locomotive. ”

Listening to Palupu's praise, Lucius smiled and waved his hand: "Hahaha, don't put a high hat on me, we can take the port so easily, because those magic crystal cannons on the port are not activated by magic crystals, and most of the defense facilities in the port are facing the direction of the ocean." ”

Speaking of this, Lucius remembered Morey, who had been nervous, and patted the boy on the shoulder and said to Renault: "Renault, you send two men with this boy and bring his father, I have something to ask his father." ”

Renault didn't hesitate to hear this, and immediately sent two Terran warriors to lead Morey towards the place where the prisoners were being held.

Seeing Morey leave with the warriors, Mogupatin asked Lucius, "What are you going to do with those thugs?" I don't think it's a good thing to keep them, and it may affect our chances in the future. ”

Lucius turned his head to glance at the few people present, and then said with a smile, "Tell me what you think." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Liangjiu Belloti stood up and said, "I agree with Mogupatin's statement, those thugs can't stay. ”

Augustine jumped on Lucius's shoulder and offered a different opinion: "I don't think it's necessary to kill them all, after all, not all of them are thugs. ”

Parop and Renault were already aware of the situation, and Renault's were of the same opinion as Belletti and Mogupatin, who felt that the thugs should not stay, as they might become a burden to Lucius.

After all, now that Lucius has only taken one port, there are several ports along the coast, and it will not be as easy as this time to take other ports, if the people in those ports are prepared. Even if you can't use the powerful weapons in the port, you can resist Lucius and them for a long time just by holding out.

"We don't have much time right now, we have to find those things as much as we can, or we'll be attacked by their ferocity once the mechanical castle and Walpole come to their senses. ”

Mogupatin looked at the whole situation and felt that his method was the safest, after all, those thugs were left behind, and if they entered other ports, the mob suddenly started a riot. It will inevitably lead zhì to attack other ports and be blocked, and time will be delayed as a result.

Both Renaud and Belluti felt that Mogupatin's analysis made sense, so they chose to support Mogupatin, feeling that they couldn't keep those thugs.

However, after listening to the half-sound, Palup suddenly said another opinion: "I don't think you have to kill everyone, as Ogufordin said, those guys are not necessarily all thugs. ”

"Yes. You're right, the captives who are being held are not necessarily all thugs, but how can we tell? We don't have much time right now. I don't think we should delay any more in this kind of thing, kill them all, and then quickly attack the other ports. ”

Mogupatin showed his iron-blooded style at this moment, and in his opinion, he should aim for success in every way. As long as it can succeed in the end, then some flaws in the process are nothing.

But Parop disagreed, and he continued: "I think it's too arbitrary not to change. Anyway, you should have met the boy's father before making up your mind, maybe things aren't as bad as you think. ”

Listening to Palupu's words, Mogu Patin snorted indifferently: "Hmph, isn't this bad? Now we are desperate, and any problems may affect the entire plan, and when the time comes, if there is a mistake in the plan, then we will really lose everything." ”

Palupu smiled and shook his head: "Hehe, you're thinking too complicated, those thugs have almost no impact on the plan, why do you have to kill them all?"

Mogupatin and Palup each had their own words, and it was clear that neither could convince the other, and the two men quarreled until two warriors under Renault's command brought Morey and his father back.

Seeing Morey and a middle-aged man being brought in, Lucius stopped the two arguing, pointed to the chair in the room, and said to the middle-aged man and Morey: "You sit down first, don't be nervous, I just have something to think about you know, I really have no malicious intent." ”

Morey turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, but the latter did not hesitate, and walked directly to the chair in the room and sat down, and Morey could only follow and sit down.

On the surface, the man seemed to be fearless of Lucius, but in fact, his constantly shaking gaze already showed the horror in his heart.

In fact, the middle-aged man was indeed very afraid, as the residents of this port, the middle-aged man knew their identity very well, they were the descendants of those sinners who were assigned to the port in the past, it can be said that they should not have existed in this world, only because there was no one to manage the port, the sinners were able to multiply in the port by the sea.

As the descendants of the sinners of the port, they are divided into two factions, one is the so-called thugs in Mogupaddin's mouth.

In the eyes of those people, since their ancestors were sinners, they also had sinful blood in them, which was an indelible mark, so they felt that they should become thugs, and use violence and sin to make everyone fear themselves, so as to show the strength of their ancestors.

At the same time, they were able to hide their fears, their fears of being descendants of their own sinners, and their anger at not being able to leave the Western Plains.

It's a catharsis, a way for the thugs to think they're changing their lives, thinking that if they're strong enough and violent enough, they'll one day be able to get out of the Western Plains.

But in fact, most of them have never been able to get out of the western part of the plains, and some of them have not even dared to stay far from the port, and they have never even set foot in the grasslands not far from the port.

And unlike the thugs, there is another faction like Morey's father, who can face up to who they are and learn from what their ancestors have left behind.

Trying to learn through guò and master some of the secrets of the port's machinery, so that they can gain enough power to use knowledge, technology and power to change their own destiny.

In the eyes of their group, although their ancestors were sinners, they did not feel that they were also guilty, and that thanks to their own efforts, they were able to shed the hat of the descendants of sinners, and thus to be able to get out of the western part of the plain and return to live in the more fertile parts of the plain.

Of course, for people like Morey's father, most of their ancestors were not criminals, and most of them were sent to the port because they had rebelled against the rule of the mechanical castle.

To Lucius's surprise, Morey's father did not intercede for himself, but for the thugs: "Dear Lord, those guys are not actually malicious, they are just a bunch of poor cowards, so I hope you can forgive them." ”

Lucius couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this, stood there stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said with a smile: "Hehe, I really didn't expect that you still have the heart to intercede for others?"

Seeing that Morey's father was at a loss, Lecius continued: "Don't you know that you can't save yourself now? You may not even be able to save your own life, are you sure you still have to intercede for those thugs?"

"I, I, I ......"

Apparently Morey's father didn't expect Lucius to say this, and for a moment he stammered there, not knowing how to answer Lucius.

On the contrary, Morey was more astute, standing up and saying on behalf of his father: "My father is not wrong, he is not a thug, you, you should not have put him to death." ”

The little guy heard the conversation before them, so it was clear that there was a mention of putting them all to death, and he recognized that those words were spoken by Mogupatin, so he stood up and shouted at Mogupatin, clenching his fists tightly like a small bull guarding the position.

Mogupatin did not take Morey's threat to heart, and kept staring at Morey's father indifferently, while also waiting for Lucius to make a final decision.

Morey's father quickly pulled Morey back to his side, stood up and saluted Recius respectfully, saying, "Honorable lord, I don't know what you are going to do with us, but I just want to tell you that although those people are called thugs by you, they are also our people after all, so I would rather live and die with them." ”

Morey's father's words were a rejection of Palup's offer, and it seemed that he did not want to see the thugs die, so he insisted that Lucius would forgive everyone.

This time, even Palup frowned slightly, he obviously didn't expect Morey's father to say this, originally in Parup's thoughts, in the face of death, Morey's father might choose to identify the thugs, so as to ensure that he could live, but he didn't do that.

Lucius turned his head to look at Palup, then at Mogupatin and said, "What do you think we should do about this?"

Mogupatin still insisted: "Do you still need to think about it, since he is unwilling to identify the thugs, then let's put them to death together, so that they will not be dragged behind and our plan will go wrong." ”

But Lucius obviously didn't intend to listen to Mogupatine's advice, but looked at Morey and his father and asked, "Do you know that among these ports by the sea, is there a special port? For example, that port is guarded by robots, and strangers are not allowed to enter?"

Morey's father didn't understand what Lucius meant, and he was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

On the contrary, Morey quickly reacted and asked in surprise: "Big brother, are you talking about that mechanical port? It is said that it is a forbidden place in the western part of the plain, and no one can approach it." ”

Listening to Morey's answer, the corners of Lucius's mouth rose slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

Then he said to Morey and his father: "It is not impossible to let you go, but I have one condition, that is, you must help me take the other ports and persuade the thugs in the ports to surrender to me." (To be continued......)
