At such a close distance, the Wolf King Newfit was bound by the shadow tentacles and could not move. He himself was not of the Earth Attribute or Water Attribute which were known for their defensive power, but of the fragile Wind Attribute.

Once these two swords fall, Newfit will surely die.

"Stop!!!! We surrender!!!"

But at this moment, Luther heard some very arrogant words, and Xinia was also slightly surprised, so he did not take action.

Newfit was breathing rapidly. Even the most powerful person, when facing death, would be unable to help but feel fear.

Although Newfit is the wolf king and leader of the hyenas, he is not at the point of taking life and death lightly and being indifferent.

Especially Xinia's arms, which were only inches away from him. The pure wind element turned her arms into wind swords, which were only a little bit away from taking his life.

Luther was surprised because he thought that these eight guys would scatter after the death of their boss. Anyway, the people of the Shadow Council are very good at betrayal.

Deserting from the battlefield is nothing.

Luther didn't know the hyenas, so naturally he didn't know their temper.

"How do you surrender?" Luther asked, stroking his chin with interest.

Although Luther didn't know Hyenas, he could tell that these guys were not ordinary mercenaries or killers of the Shadow Council, at least their actions were different.

"We know that we killed people and robbed treasures, and you must be very angry. But this is the survival law of the Shadow Council, and we can only go with the trend."

One of the hyenas came out and said in a deep voice, "So you don't have to be too angry. And with your bodyguard, as long as we activate the wind-related magic item, she can't stop us. So you can only kill our boss."

"That's right." Luther nodded and admitted. These eight guys were really strong, if he hadn't activated the "Dragon Aura" to intimidate them first.

Xinia's fighting style was very smooth and gorgeous, decisive and straightforward. It would be impossible to cause the current situation. And if these seven people were determined to escape, and the entire Magic City Ruins was in this situation, Xinia would not be able to keep these seven people.

"So we have to use all our property in exchange for our boss's life. We hyenas swear on our souls that we will never trouble you again."

The hyena said in a deep voice. After that, he and the other six hyenas took off their space rings and armor, leaving only the wind-related artifacts and weapons.

This is quite interesting.

Luther suddenly became interested in these guys. Such people were rare among the Shadow Council.

These guys trust each other and won't abandon each other easily.

Hyena? This is a very appropriate name. Hyenas are animals that will not easily abandon their companions.

Luther came to the Shadow Council with only one purpose, which was to obtain drugs to enhance human genes in order to avoid being eroded by the blood of the phoenix.

But after finding Newton, the building was built crooked. Luther thought about it and realized that his strength was too low.

At this time, the building was becoming more and more crooked, and Luther began to feel a little sorry for these eight guys.

There are not many people who can maintain their own identity in the Shadow Council. Everyone who comes to the Shadow Council will change to some extent.

Even Newton, although he was still able to maintain his own self, became cold and indifferent, a real killer.

Aside from his family, everyone else is the same to Newton.

Kill at will.

These eight people are obviously the same, but they also have something that they cherish, and that is the lives of their companions.

Luther generally admired such flesh-and-blood people.

"I agree to your terms in exchange for your boss, but I want to add one thing." Luther said with a smile.

"No, I want your left hands!! This will affect your fighting ability, but it will not affect your escape." Luther smiled, but in the eyes of the hyenas, it was not a devilish smile.

Miss Xinia took a deep look at Luther. She felt that this was not the ordinary Luther, although her relationship with Luther as master and mount was quite short.

"Newba, don't worry about me. Take them away, and you will be the wolf king from now on." Newfit had been very calm, but at this moment his face changed drastically. He glared at Luther hatefully, and then said to the hyena who spoke.

This hyena is Newba.

The second leader among the hyenas.

"Tell him to shut up." Luther said to Miss Xinia. Miss Xinia calmly added a soundproof barrier to Newfit. No matter how Newfit struggled, cursed, or spoke, no one outside could hear it.

Newba and the others looked at each other, then swung their magic weapons without hesitation and slashed at their left hands.

Definitely.

Although the Shadow Council has the technology to obtain many hands, including robotic hands, bloodline-improved hands, and even hands cultivated from one's own cells.

But cutting off one's own hand on the spot is still a very, very cruel thing to do.

Anyone who can treat himself so cruelly is definitely not an ordinary person.

Luther's face became much more serious and he said, "Stop." Newba and the others looked up at Luther in confusion. Newba acted very quickly. His battle axe had cut off one-fifth of his hand and was almost reaching the bone.

If Luther had been half a second slower, he would have cut it off.

Luther said in a deep voice: "I admire you guys, so I changed my mind. I released your boss, and you will work for me for ten years."

After a pause, Luther continued, "It can be seen that you are only one step away from becoming a knight, a step that consumes a lot of resources. I promise to provide you with the resources you need during this period and give you generous wages and benefits."

"How about it?"

Luther certainly doesn't mind having more capable subordinates.

Because there are too few powerful people in Luther's power at present. And the hundreds of thousands of quasi-knights he trained will take a long time to be put to use.

The Tomahawk Knight and Knight Natsu Wilson are still far from being titled Knights.

Under such circumstances, it would be a very good idea to recruit a group of elite knights who are only one step away from becoming title knights as the fighting force of your own forces.

Even if ten years later, this group of people plans to leave.

By that time, the people under Luther should have grown up.

Originally, I shouldn't have come to the Shadow Council. The people here are rubbish. Apart from being strong, they have no other advantages.

But occasionally there are eight fools like these.

Luther liked them very much.

Just save them from their suffering and let them come to work for me.

You can make money, it’s safe, and your strength will grow quickly.

If you miss this village, you will miss this store.
