Gallup's expression was startled for a moment, and then he blurted out: "Monu? Is the great goblin Nurvok dead? Although he is ugly and bloated, his sword skills are the best! I didn't expect that after living in the abandoned castle for so many years, this
He actually died once."
Arthur's expression was a little strange. He waved and said: "You don't need to know the details. Just take this news back. Your Majesty and the president should know what to do. The abandoned castle is quite chaotic now, so I won't invite you in."
Sit down, these gold coins are given by the boss to the brothers for drinking, go back."
Gallup looked down at the bag of gold coins that Arthur gave him, with a complicated expression. In his impression, when did Arthur become like a businessman?
However, the instructor still had power in his heart, and Gallup also knew that Arthur was staying here on the order of His Majesty the King. At this moment, he didn't ask any more questions, put away the gold coins, bowed, and turned back to the team.
He mounted his horse and waved his hand. It took him less than a day to rush to the abandoned fort, and then he rushed back without stopping.
Arthur watched his former student disappear over the horizon and sighed softly.
The reason why he didn't want Gallup to enter the abandoned fort was that the cracks on the ground of the abandoned fort square were already filled with blood and could not be cleaned for a while.
The adventurers and mercenary groups who coveted the goods of the Chamber of Commerce suffered a devastating blow!
Although they are just thinking about it and haven't really taken any action yet, the boss said that all dangers should be nipped in the bud! Especially these desperadoes who are willing to ignore their own lives for money."
Indeed, Arthur also agreed with his boss's words, but as a Paladin, he still couldn't accept it in his heart.
Especially the disappearance of Nurvok, the leader of Lai Scar Mercenary Group... He clearly saw the hobgoblin and others entering the tent to eat and drink with the boss, but why did he die outside the city after a while while resisting the evil beast?
Woolen cloth?
Although Liu Xiao didn't explain anything to him, Arthur was not a fool. He could already guess a thing or two from the cruel eyes and expression of the jackal.
The boss must have nipped in advance any crises and troubles that might arise....
Looking at Arthur who was returning to the abandoned castle with worries, Liu Xiao was silent for a few seconds, then walked over and said: "Arthur, come with me to the city wall to take a look. This abandoned castle is in urgent need of repairs."
Arthur didn't think much, and followed Liu Xiao onto the incomplete city wall, walking slowly along the only intact section of the city wall.
Liu Xiao looked at the corpses of evil beasts outside the city wall and the employees cleaning up the blood stains inside the city wall, and suddenly asked: "Arthur, what is justice in your heart? What is evil?"
Arthur was slightly surprised, but he still replied with a serious expression: "To hoe the strong and support the weak, to protect the family and the country, and to serve the king is justice! The opposite is evil!"
Liu Xiao was not surprised by his answer. An Dao was indeed a "well-educated" paladin.
He then said: "But if your king lets you wield a sword against innocent people, and if you launch an aggressive war against other countries instead of defending your country, will you still feel that you are just? Just like Orange
Just like the current war in the Kingdom of Hudson, who is the righteous one between you two? Who is the evil one?"
Arthur was stunned by what Liu Xiao said. A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, but he quickly said: "His Majesty the King is a heroic figure! He cherishes his people and would never do such a thing!
Moreover, the conflict between Orange and Hudson has been going on for a long time, and it has long been impossible to judge who is righteous and who is evil."
Liu Xiao raised the corner of his mouth, patted Arthur on the shoulder and said: "So... this world is not black and white. Besides justice and evil, there is also a position called 'neutrality'. You want to know the justice in my eyes
What is it?"
Arthur nodded, he was really curious! If the previous boss's behavior could only be described as unexpected, then everything he did today was a bit contrary to his order as a knight.
After all, Nurvok and the Lai Scar Mercenary Group did not show any obvious hostility.
Maybe they had that idea and were plotting something, but they didn't take any actual action. But even so, they still lost their lives... To be honest, Arthur didn't agree with this.
Liu Xiao pointed to the employees below who were cleaning the streets and improving public order, and said in a deep voice: "Did you see it? My justice is only effective for my men, my employees, and the believers of the Creator. Anyone who threatens them and wants to harm them
Their people and power are evil to me! Maybe you think it's unkind for us to take action before the other party takes action, right?"
Arthur said nothing, but his expression acquiesced.
Liu Xiao continued: "Haha~~ They didn't take action, but it doesn't mean they don't want to take action. If they take action before the enemy takes action, it's called attacking first to gain advantage and attacking later to suffer disaster.
As the leader of a chamber of commerce, or the king of a country, the consequences of any womanly kindness and hesitation will be tragic! It is unacceptable! We cannot pay the price with our lives.
Make a bet to bet that the other party will be kind and not do anything to us, bet that the other party can defeat your greed every time!
Because the cost of losing this bet is too high... I would rather overturn the gambling table in advance and not give the other party this chance! There will be no regrets when losing employees later... I believe that your Majesty the King should be able to
I feel the same way, you may not be able to understand it if you haven't reached that level.
One day you will be able to understand everything I did today... That's it, you are tired too, go down and rest first. We still have a lot to do after today."
Although Arthur still couldn't fully understand what Liu Xiao meant, things had already happened. It was futile to say anything and he could only choose to accept the reality.
In the face of the overwhelming weapons of the Riot Chamber of Commerce, the battle on the streets of the ruined castle quickly subsided.
The mercenaries and adventurers who coveted the Chamber of Commerce items were wiped out, and the remaining survivors were in danger.
They didn't expect that this little-known small chamber of commerce would be so powerful in combat! Indeed, they just had some thoughts of taking advantage of the situation, but they were just thoughts and had not yet been put into action, so the other party saw through them? Could it be that one of them
A traitor was caught and their plan was leaked to the other party in advance?
Liu Xiao had already eliminated all the dissidents and initially controlled the remaining members of Lai Scar's mercenary group. The dog-headed military advisor bared his teeth and ran back as if offering a treasure.
"Boss, boss~! Everything has been taken care of! The artifact given by the Creator is too powerful~! Under our crushing firepower, and the Lai Scar Mercenary Group lost its leader, they surrendered within a few rounds~!"
Liu Xiao said with a solemn expression: "Just do this, don't cause more killings. Since we have already wielded the 'big stick' against the abandoned fort, we must also give out some 'carrots' at the right time."
"Ah? What? Carrot?"
Buck Ya had obviously never heard of this allusion, and Liu Xiao didn't want to explain too much to him, but continued: "Sent people to post notices, saying that the people we killed were because they coveted the goods of the Chamber of Commerce, and we had no choice but to
To clean up.
In addition, Nurwok, the leader of the Lai Scar Mercenary Group, died in battle outside the city. For moral reasons, we will accept all their members. Remember, break them up first and assign them to the middle-level people for training, and then put them into work as soon as possible.
Urban restoration of abandoned forts and people's livelihood.
By the way, send someone to pay close attention to the movements of the Black Rock Chamber of Commerce. There is a magic teleportation array in their chamber of commerce branch. Maybe my old friend will arrive at any time."
"It's the boss! I'll do it right now!"
After taking away the buck teeth, Liu Xiao called Abu again and asked him to take out some food in stock and make some porridge, and let employees with medical skills treat the adventurers and mercenaries who were injured in the city defense battle for free.
.But remember not to use their strategic materials, just do the most basic treatment.
Liu Xiao pointed at the surviving mercenaries and said: "They will definitely not have any bad intentions now, and they will never dare to have any evil intentions again in a short time."
Liu Xiao knew very well that he needed to use this period of time to use both kindness and power to gather the residents and outsiders in the abandoned fort to his side.
Then it’s time for the "Nine-Nine-Six Fortune News" to show its power~! He is very confident in the brainwashing system of his Chamber of Commerce~!
The indigenous people in this country who have never been baptized by the corporate pie have almost zero resistance to this spiritual "invasion"! These are the best targets for exploitation~! He cannot give up such a good opportunity!
