Volume 1 The Awakening of the Lion Cub Chapter 20 Will's Efforts
"I am the prophet of the barbarians, and your leader, Richard!
A shockwave that erupted from all around him was visible to the naked eye, knocking the Saints who were watching him and glaring at him to the ground, and Basso Natu glanced at everyone, his eyes full of disdain and disdain.
Immediately, he turned his gaze to the only person in the audience who was still standing besides him - Will.
"You've surprised me so much, Will......"
"It's over...... Don't you think you're going too far, though?"
Will said expressionlessly, but his slightly trembling legs betrayed him. At this moment, he finally remembered the identity of Basso Natu......
Before becoming the prophet of the barbarians, he was the last chief of the barbarian tribe, and at the same time, he was also the only heroic powerhouse in the barbarian tribe.
It's just the short lifespan of the barbarians, and Basso Natu looks exceptionally old, which makes Will not recognize him immediately after hearing his name.
Will took a deep breath of air, trying to calm his pounding heart—just as he had seen Kyle Korland slaughter the armies of both warring sides......
In any case, if Basso Natu wanted to kill everyone present, it would be very easy for him to do it in terms of his strength, but he didn't do it......
"I don't think I'm overdoing it, Will. Basso Natu shook his head, the coldness in his eyes even worse, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If it were your father, what would he do when he heard someone insulting his people?"
"This ......" Will wanted to say again, but under the threatening eyes of Basso Natu, he had no choice but to speak: "My father, I will break the hands and legs of the man who humiliated the Holy Clan, and then cut his skin, so that his blood will cover his whole body, and finally hang him on the needle tree, so that the crows can eat his flesh and ......"
"Yes, you're honest, and it does look like your father would do it...... I'm curious, did he take you with him while he was doing all this?"
"Hmmm......"
"I know, you holy family, call this ......"
"The teachings of the elders, my lord. ”
"Yes, people are old and don't remember very well. ”
Basso Natu nodded at first, then looked at Will gloomily and asked, "Then you say, am I doing this too much?"
Will was silent for a long time, because he saw the fear and shame in the eyes of most of the people who were still pressed by the coercion of Basso Natu, who were unable to move on the ground. And others, such as Cui Ming, and the little guy who wanted to plot against Basso Natu before, they were unwilling to resist the coercion from Basso Natu and wanted to try to stand up......
His people finally felt fear and shame, but there were also those who were not afraid of death, and chose to die rather than give in to this old but powerful barbarian!
And now, the power of choice is in Will's hands - he is the only one in the group who Basso Natu deems qualified to talk to him, and that is exactly what happened.
So, is it a choice to give in, or is it ...... Revolt?
Rebel against a mighty hero......
Will was in a dilemma for a moment, he didn't know what kind of agreement his father had reached with the barbarian prophet, and he didn't know if his father had a backhand, which was why he was so jealous...... Then, in making a terrible conjecture...... Will didn't know if Basso Natu came alone, and if he was disguised by the way he revealed pity and begged for him before......
If he was in disguise at that time. That shows that his reaction, as well as Cui Ming, and the reaction of his own people, were also expected by him, and this probability is very small, but it is not impossible.
The benefits of this are also great, and whatever agreement he has with his father will be decided later through negotiations...... However, in negotiations, the dignity of a hero-level powerhouse is a pretty good bargaining chip......
If he chooses to give in now and give in to Basso Natu, then it is likely that his father's efforts to make the agreement with him will be in vain. And there is no guarantee that he will not gain an inch, and when the time comes, once the barbarians enter the province of Ivey, what will the people think of themselves...... And his own father?
And if you choose to resist......
Will just thought about it, and decisively vetoed this one, he didn't think about whether the chips in his father's hands, which made Barso Natu jealous, were heavy enough...... Will was smart, and he didn't want that to happen.
What to do?
Will frowned, and Basso Natu just looked at him with a dark smile, and Basso Natu knew that his plan had succeeded...... With Richard leaving the Holy Family camp, no one could stop him...... Now Basso Natu just has to wait for Will to make a choice, and whatever he chooses, it's in his favor......
Basso Natu even wanted a glass of the Holy Family's own wine to admire the crampedness on Will's face.
What to do?
What to do?
What to do?
Will mentally asked himself three times in a row, racking his brain to think about whether there was a solution to the problem...... In the end, his thinking question became......
What would his father do if he was here?
Father......
Will was stunned for a moment at the thought of Richard, and then he chuckled......
Yes, Father.
How did you forget your father's teachings?
......
All those who dare to insult the people of the Holy Race are enemies!
You are destined to lead your people after me, so you must learn everything you need to know about leadership.
......
Will was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and smiled charmingly at Basso Natu.
"My lord, I have a lot of respect for you, but, I'm sorry, I can't choose to turn my back on my people. Like my father, we respect the choices of our people...... And their powers. Then Will looked haughtily at Basso Natu and said, "Even though my people have insulted you, so what? My father taught me that the people are supreme!"
With these words, Will pulled out the Split Wind behind his back and aimed it at Basso Natu.
"Well done! Will!"
Cui Ming, who was lying on the ground, finally stood up, and the clansmen who had fallen to the ground also helped each other to stand up, bypassing Basso Natu and coming behind Will.
The sinister little fellow, also carrying two daggers longer than his arms, stood at Will's side.
"Very good...... Will, you're a lot like your father!
