Just as Jiang Tao said, they also have courage and are capable of resistance.
It is impossible to cowardly drop your weapon and kneel on the ground to await the other party's fate simply because the other party is powerful.
As Jiang Tao said, even if the result is failure.
We'll give them a good, big beating.
You earn money by recruiting one person, and you earn money by recruiting two people.
[...]
Something feels off.
Luo Chen frowned slightly.
He was not roused by Jiang Tao's words.
Like others, they appealed for their self-respect and courage.
[It's so strange, but I can't quite put my finger on why.]
[I always felt there was something wrong with the whole recruitment process...]
Luo Chen couldn't understand it; even in a dream, something like conquest couldn't possibly happen in modern times.
No matter how brutal or how lacking in legal checks and balances, such a thing should never exist.
Although there may be some similarities, it is not a true conquest.
However, even though I know there's something strange about it, I can't quite put my finger on what it is.
Logically speaking, Jiang Tao and his group had no reason to deceive the hundreds of people present.
Although these people are not as important as the nine of them, their combined strength is still not to be underestimated.
But Jiang Tao spoke with such conviction that it didn't seem like he was lying.
This is what got Luo Chen's thinking into a dead end, making it impossible for him to understand what was strange.
And at this time.
The guy sitting to the side remained very quiet and didn't join in the fun with the others.
Shouting and yelling.
Instead, he frowned just like Luo Chen, thinking about some problems that were bothering him.
The person sitting next to Luo Chen glanced at Luo Chen, who was frowning in thought, with some curiosity, not quite understanding why this person would have such thoughts.
But what I don't understand even more is whether those could be considered auditory hallucinations.
After all, Luo Chen did not say anything.
"Lord Jiang, you are absolutely right. Although we are mercenaries, we are all men of courage and should not be manipulated by others. We must fight back and let them know that we are not to be trifled with!"
“That’s right! I agree with what you said, Lord Jiang. You have no reason to deceive us, so we trust you. Just say the word and we’ll immediately lead our men to grab our weapons and fight them!”
"Let's fight them!"
"Let's give it our all!"
"..."
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly reached its peak. Everyone's fighting spirit seemed to be ignited by Jiang Tao's words, and they all wanted to fight right now.
As for this scene, it seemed that Jiang Tao and his nine companions had expected it and were not too surprised.
Even the young man standing in the shadows backstage revealed a cryptic smile.
But no one noticed the smile.
Only he himself knew the meaning behind that smile.
Jiang Tao waved his hand, stopping them from continuing to argue.
Jiang Tao finally spoke as his voice gradually faded.
“I know you are very emotional right now and want to vent.”
"But I still want to tell you that the timing is not right, and it is not suitable to make a move now."
"Our most important task now is to establish an alliance and unite all our forces."
"Only by uniting as one can we have hope of victory."
Hope Town and the eight mercenary groups are very strong. Each of them is an existence that cannot be ignored on its own, let alone when they join forces to fight against each other.
However, while they are indeed very strong, it cannot be said that they are stronger than the nation.
Faced with the massive machine of the state, their power appears as fragile as that of ants.
Therefore, given the current situation, the only solution is to gather more people and consolidate more resources.
Only then will there be a chance to preserve this corner of the land.
Of course, this is also to better ensure safety and management.
Nobody wants to be stabbed in the back while they're fighting desperately at the front.
This is a major taboo and something that cannot be allowed.
Therefore, finalizing the alliance is the top priority.
Jiang Tao's words made sense, and as soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately spoke up.
"Lord Jiang, we do not oppose the alliance. After all, this is not a personal matter, but concerns all of us. If we continue to split up, I believe that only a handful of people here will survive."
"That's right, we agreed to the alliance's request. Only by working together can we have a chance of survival. We are not afraid of dying, but we don't want to die in such a humiliating way, as someone else's dogs!"
"Lord Jiang, hurry up and announce the alliance! We can't wait to fuck them!"
"..."
The scene became chaotic again, noisy, and no one seemed to have any objection to the alliance.
Even those who originally just wanted to watch the spectacle joined in.
The situation has become one-sided.
Compared to before, the current united front shows everyone working together with one heart and one mind, creating a scene of passionate enthusiasm.
Jiang Tao didn't rush to quiet them down.
If we continue to suppress their venting, it will not only affect morale, but will also make them more or less dissatisfied.
Jiang Tao and the others naturally didn't want to see that kind of scene; they needed this kind of thing.
This will also make it easier to manage the alliance better in the future.
The more popular these people are, the more help they will receive, so why not?
However, Luo Chen's side remained completely quiet.
As before, he frowned and didn't participate.
"Xiao, I wonder if you've noticed the problem?"
"What's the problem?"
Luo Chen was looking ahead, observing Jiang Tao and the others. When he heard Lao Tie's words, he subconsciously replied.
Old Tie paused slightly, then leaned closer and whispered, "I'm not quite sure either. To be honest, it just feels really strange to me. I don't know why, but I just feel like something's not right."
"ah?"
Luo Chen was confused by Lao Tie's words and was a little stunned. He turned to look at Lao Tie.
Old Tie looked troubled, his brows furrowed, and he muttered to himself.
"This matter seems normal, and it feels normal to me, but something just feels off, as if there's a problem somewhere, but I can't quite put my finger on it..."
[What do you mean? Do you think the same thing as me, bro?]
"It's like... what he said is true, and such things do happen. We should unite to fight against outsiders and preserve our territory. I think both the rhetoric and what is about to happen are normal, but in my heart, I don't know why, I always feel that there is a conspiracy involved."
Yes, it has the smell of conspiracy, and a very strong one at that.
Luo Chen was taken aback by Lao Tie's words, and then asked in confusion, "Why would you think of that?"
That's what they asked, but they certainly didn't mean it that way.
Wow, that's impressive, bro. I thought you were just all about shouting "666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome").
[It seems I'm not the only one who thinks there's a problem; my buddy thinks so too.]
[But... what my buddy and I have in common is that we don't understand what's strange about this, we can't find the problem at all, but the feeling we have is very strong.]
[Moreover, given the current situation, how many people actually think this way...]
