Chapter 152: Relief
Savin heard the others say: "I think so too, we gave up the mercenary group in the first place, and if we live such a dangerous day every day, I am afraid that it will not be long before we lose our lives, let alone think about the future." ”
"You are too weak, isn't there any danger in being a mercenary? If you want to earn a future, you have to fight with your life, how do you think Lord Savan's knight came to be?
"But we don't have the skills of Lord Sam-sama, we are just archers, who can compare to Lord Sam-sama?"
"But it's a shame to betray your own master, and there's nothing to be sorry for us, Lord Samaven......"
"It's all about this time, it's better to think more about yourself......"
After listening for a long time, Savin finally understood what was going on, and it turned out that these archers had quietly come here in the middle of the night to discuss whether to continue to follow him, and it seemed that their attitude towards him had been shaken. Sawan felt a wave of anger at first, these people dared to secretly negotiate to leave behind his back, this was a betrayal! Sawin had to force his anger to calm himself down, or he would have rushed over and given them a few axes.
Whether it is sea or land, whether it is a dragon or a human, betrayal is an unforgivable act at any time, if a knight's squire betrays a knight, the knight can kill the squire without a legal ruling, and people will not blame the knight, but will applaud the knight, and the betrayer will not get sympathy anywhere.
Sawin trembled slightly with anger, the handles of the two sharp axes were full of sweat oozing from his palms, or in a minute he would have been able to kill them all, but in the bottom of his heart there was a voice saying to him: "Is all the responsibility theirs? As a superior person, there is no place to reflect? If there is no problem with himself, how can the people below betray him......
The voice of self-reproach and the flame of anger collided back and forth in Savin's heart, it was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a thing, it turned out that being a superior person was not so easy.
"If his father were here, what would he do with such a thing?" Sawan couldn't help but think, "If Duil would have killed them mercilessly, but what would my father do? If Eliza was here, I could have consulted with her......"
Thinking of Eliza, Savin's heart couldn't help but feel a wave of warmth, in this world, Eliza is probably the only one who will not deceive herself, if she is there, she may persuade herself to spare these people, she has always disliked killing. Sawan suddenly longed to meet Eliza, and only with Eliza could he regain the feeling of being able to trust others.
Savin slowly stood up and walked gently towards the makeshift camp, where he decided to let the men go, even though they were discussing leaving him.
No one is happy to encounter these things, but Sawin feels that it is not all their fault, and he has not done a good job, from the beginning he has the idea of using others, and he has not taken much care of them along the way, not to mention that his future is uncertain now, and he forcibly tied others to his side, so what he gained was not loyalty, but just forced obedience, in this case, it was better for everyone to find their own path.
Back at the campfire, Narros and Cerea returned, neither of whom had found any sign of the archer, but saw Savin alone staring at the campfire, and it seemed that he had not found them.
"Lord, my lord, haven't you found it either?" asked both at the same time.
Sawin said lightly: "You don't need to look for it, you can come when you should come, and you can go if you should go." After saying that, he turned over and lay down to sleep.
Narros and Celia looked at each other, not understanding what Sawan meant.
A few days later, Savin and the others finally walked out of the jungle, and along the way Savin was obviously not in a good mood, and the archers seemed to have something to do, always whispering behind people's backs, which made Selia feel very uneasy. Although she talked to Sawan a few times, Sawin didn't seem to care, so Celia had to sigh and say nothing more.
Seeing that they were about to return to Vic Town, Cerea and Narros became a little excited, and after staying in the mountains for so many days, no matter who they were, they were a little annoyed, and being able to return to civilized society made everyone feel more or less a little like a world away. However, Savan was still in a low mood, and the archers seemed to become silent.
"Hurry up, everyone, we'll be able to eat in town tonight!" Seria encouraged the crowd with some excitement.
At this moment a man came out of the archer, and he saluted Savan and said, "My lord, we have something to say...... I want to say to you. ”
Sawan stopped, looking at the nine archers, no expression on their faces. "Tell me, what is the matter with you?" said Sawin calmly.
Several people looked at each other for a moment, as if it was extremely difficult to say what they were going to say next, and it took a while to squeeze out a few words: "My lord...... We...... Think...... I want to ...... you Farewell......" As soon as the few people finished speaking, they immediately lowered their heads, and their faces were all worried, and then their fate was in the hands of Sawan.
In fact, Sawan had been waiting for them for several days, and now listening to them say it was not only them, but even Sawin felt relieved. Originally, Sawan also had a bit of luck, maybe they would eventually change their minds, but in the end, they still had to leave themselves.
Before Sawan could speak, Celia jumped up first, and she exclaimed in surprise, "What are you talking about! Are you all crazy?"
Although Narros did not speak, the expression on her face was also angry, and her eyes stared coldly at everyone.
"We ...... It was also a last resort...... I hope you will be able to ...... I can understand......" said the archers and knelt down on one knee, several of them already trembling.
"Okay, no problem. Sawan said calmly.
"How can you ......," Celia exclaimed, but before she could finish her sentence, she was stopped by Sawan reaching out for help.
"I won't blame you, it's been a hard time for you, and you've done a great job. Sawan said and beckoned to Cereya, "Cereya, bring the money bag." ”
Selia looked unhappy, but she couldn't resist Savan, so she could only reluctantly hand the money bag to Sawen. Savin didn't even look at it, threw the money bag in front of the archers, and said, "I don't have any more money with me, so I'll give it to you, you can share it, and by the way, give some to the families of the dead." ”
The nine of them couldn't believe their ears, Sawin was already magnanimous if he didn't deal with them, who would have thought that Sawin would give them all the money on his body, which made them feel even more guilty. "Your Excellency...... We ......" Several people were so excited that they couldn't speak for a long time, and they didn't know whether to accept the money bag for a while.
"Put the money away, don't kneel, I hope you all live well in the future, go. Savin said and waved, then turned and walked towards Vic.
Seria and Narros didn't expect Sawan to let go of these betrayers so easily, and also gave them all the money they had, what kind of idea was this, and they felt that they couldn't guess Sawin's idea at all. Seeing Sawan walking farther and farther, the two sighed in unison, and then chased after him closely.
The nine archers kneeling on the ground saw that Sawin was really gone, and they didn't even have the slightest sense of blame, they couldn't believe it at first, but as Celia and Narros also left, they really believed that Sawin had indeed given them back their freedom, and they were no longer Savan's attendants.
Watching the three of them walk farther and farther, they suddenly sat on the ground as if they had unloaded their burdens, sweating profusely, and I don't know who suddenly cried loudly...... As soon as this man cried, the others couldn't help but cry, and gratitude and guilt welled up in their hearts.
