Chapter 18: decision making

"This kind of humanitarianism does not work for them. Their parents, their wives and children, and their villages are all gone. What is left is just full of hatred. Now you deprive them of the opportunity to revenge yourself. This is the cruelest thing for them. Even if you don’t bring them, they will take revenge on their own.
A short and thin Andis mountain man named Woody pleaded,
Don, you just bring Let us do it. With you, they have at least a 30% chance of survival. If they do it stubbornly on their own, these stubborn guys will take their own lives in 10% of them. If it weren’t just for us, Many people are ready to go back and beg to die."
"Yeah, you guys have so much brains, you don’t know, your method looks very humane, but it actually hurts them and it doesn’t work, Tang, you just say that we are idealists, in fact , You are the greatest idealist."
　　Speaking of this, Sean had no choice but to accept it.
　　 What can he say when a humane decision that seems to be full in another world is so inhumane in this world?
　　 This also completely woke up Sean, he had been pretending to sleep.
He thought he was a pragmatist and taught a group of idealists. He did not realize that he was the greatest idealist in the eyes of others. Their ideals and dreams were also produced by their own words and deeds, at least they His ideals are highly localized, while Sean’s ideals only exist in the utopia of his dreams.
"Don't be too happy. These words are yours. The decision you make depends on yourselves. If you are willing to stay, we welcome with your hands. If you want to go back and rebuild your home, we must not discriminate against others. , A collective farewell." Xiao En added still unwillingly.
But the cruel reality tells Sean that compared to the six young people in front of him, he is still too floating in the clouds. After all, most of the Andis people he has contacted over the years have been influenced by him, regardless of the behavioral pattern. There is a lot of synchronization with the thinking mode, and the most common people at the moment are the most simple Andean people. Although facing the same face, the thinking mode of the two people is a bit exaggerated, but the difference is huge. There are still.
　　 From beginning to end, none of the Andis mountain people chose to leave, including the women and children and those who were seriously injured, and walking was about to become a problem.
　　 "Hey, Tang, we seem to be in the wrong direction now. This is the way back to the village. The villains and bandits are not in this direction."
　　 "Nonsense, you don't want to take these wounded and use these uncomfortable guys to fight? Like the previous kind of battle, have you not fought enough? I will take you to get the equipment."
"Get the equipment, it's a big tone. We have people in the seventies or eighties now. Where did he get so much equipment? Who is this little guy? He is not very old, and his tone is not young. He thinks he is a skullcrusher. The son of McGee."
　　 "It's so short-sighted, I don't even know the famous Sean Tang."
　　 "Sean Tang? You are talking about that...that Sean Tang?"
　　 "Yes, that's Sean Tang."
　　 "No wonder, if it were him, it would be normal."
　　 After knowing the identity of Sean, no one, regardless of men, women or children, questioned his leadership.
Sean’s fame is much greater than he thinks, and even far surpasses his mother. In this regard, the credit for the orphaned children he brought out is indispensable. This principle is like doing it alone. Only one hundred people know about one hundred good things. Another person has done ten good things but ten thousand people know. The latter's reputation is naturally much greater than the former.
　　 In Sean’s previous life, there was a special adjective for this phenomenon-advertising effectiveness.
　　……
"That guy is Sean Tang, a rising star who has recently risen to fame in the Andes Mountains. He is a naturally awakened fire warlock. It is said that he is born with wisdom and knowledge. Although he does not have his own village, he has just been able to leave. He began to adopt orphans and cultivate students. It is said that his students are as many as the black trees in the mountains. As long as there are villages, there are his students. The influence is even higher than those of the owners of the big villages, but this guy As cautious as an old fox, I have never confronted us head-on. I have only heard of the name before. I didn't expect to make a shot personally this time." Benson, who was wrapped like a zongzi, gritted his teeth.
　　 He is one of the lucky few who rolled down the mountain ridge. He was stopped by the thorn bushes on the hillside. Although he had no arms or legs, he couldn't see his appearance. He didn't have a whole piece of skin under his body.
The thorn bushes of the Andes Mountains are also known as poisonous thorns. Although the toxins on them are not fatal, they will cause a burning sensation. Even if they are pierced a little, they are very uncomfortable, let alone inside. I fought a few times. Because of the shortage of manpower, the thorns and thorns on Benson's body were not completely cleaned. He spoke so hard that he shivered with pain. For every point of pain, he hated the culprit Sean deeply. Minute.
"A man of fame and fame." The great knight Ajer's tone was full of disdain. Whether it was born awakening or born with wisdom, it deeply stimulated him. It was in his heart that he failed to awaken to become a warlock. Eternal pain. As the second son in the family, there is an older brother with a halo of a hundred years of rare genius in front of him. He will always be the most inconspicuous one in the family. No matter how much effort he puts in, he will always be by the other side. He was far behind, and in the end, he could only hide far away, out of the dazzling halo of the other party, and now he was reminded of bad memories.
"Regardless of whether the opponent is a fame or not, we are in a lot of trouble now. It won't take long for the barbarians to catch up, and the number will increase and they will drown us alive." Sen has a deep fear in his eyes. He is very aware of the degree of hatred of the Andis mountain people towards the slave hunters. He has witnessed their execution of the slave hunters on the walls of the Bastille.
It uses a vicious criminal law called stubbing. This criminal law is very simple. It only needs a dirt pit and a hardwood with thick arms to complete it. However, the level of cruelty made Benson think of it after many years. Still shuddering, he would never forget the painful heart-piercing howl of the victim. This howl was not one or two, but lasted for a whole day and night, until the stick inserted underneath came out of his mouth. , He clearly remembered that the last thing the tortured was begging for was not forgiveness, but killed him.
From that time on, Benson had never caught a cold with the slaves in the deep mountains. He didn’t expect that under the instigation of Batley, he had a ship capsize the first time he entered the mountain. Now when he closes his eyes, all he thinks of is a dozen. Years ago, the painful appearance of the victim before his death is vivid and close to the eyes.
　　 "Say something I don't know, it's useful." Great knight Ajel waved his hand impatiently, "Your life and death have nothing to do with me. When necessary, I will take Master Bartley on the road alone."
"Yes, my lord." Benson scolded the old secretly in his heart. If it was really as simple as what he said, he would have taken Bartley and ran away, so how could he grind his teeth here, but the other party is now him. The biggest reliance, I don’t dare to offend a little bit. Once the opponent lets go, as a severely wounded person who can’t move, he will definitely die. "Master Ajer, the morale of our team is collapsed and there are too many injuries. It’s definitely not the best choice to rush on the road The mountain forest is the home of the barbarians. They don’t even need to mobilize too many people at that time. They only need to hide in the dark without stopping the cold arrows, which will eat us away a little bit."
　　 "Go on."
"Stay ready for help." Benson endured the pain and spoke up. "Let's pick a few outposts and let them return to the Bastille as quickly as possible to send a letter to my father. His elderly will definitely not sit back and watch. I don’t care, only two thousand elite soldiers are needed. It’s impossible to sweep the Andes Mountains, but it’s more than enough to pick us out. These barbarians will not provoke the army because of their misaligned hearts."
A faint smile flashed across the face of the great knight Ajel, "The premise of holding on to the aid is to make sure that the aid can arrive, otherwise it is to wait and die. I heard that your father is very capable of giving birth and there are seven sons alone. Eight, and your mother is just a maid."
　　 The implication is self-evident, Benson didn't have such a big face, and asked his father to send an army to rescue him.
The muscles on Benson’s face twitched~EbookFREE.me~ I don’t know if it was because of the scars, or the recurrence of old injuries. He said dryly,
It’s just me, it’s not worth my father. I went to war, so I asked Master Bartley and Lord Ajel to sign the letter for help. When my father wants to keep the slave industry in Bastille, he must send troops."
"Smart young man." The great knight Ajer nodded with satisfaction, "If you can survive this time, I believe you will be able to stand out sooner or later, and even win from your brothers and get your father's ultimate The right of inheritance is not necessarily."
　　 "Thank you for your praise." Benson still said blankly, "but the premise of all this is that I can live."
"You can draft a rescue letter. When you finish it, ask Master Bartley and me to use a seal to tell your father that he only has ten days. If his reinforcements are less than ten days, the death of the fourth heir to the Faerun family , He will have an unshirkable responsibility, and I, Alger Clark, will treat him as an enemy for life." The great knight strode out of the tent.
Now that you have decided to stay for help, a simple camp that is easy to defend and difficult to attack is indispensable. The current camp is absolutely impossible, not only because the terrain is not suitable, but also because it is too close to yesterday’s battlefield and because of manpower. Inadequate, the corpses of both the enemy and the enemy were thrown in place. It won’t take long for them to become a world of flies and scavengers, and it will also become a source of disease.
　　 In this world, everything that is connected with the word epidemic is a horror of life and death, and you can't help but be sloppy.
Then there is the supply of materials. This is the most basic guarantee of morale. Fortunately, when they entered the mountain, they brought enough materials. Although some of them were lost, the loss of personnel was more. Collect them and stick to it for ten and a half months. .
