Chapter 596 - Brothers, Quality Over Quantity (Part One)

Chapter 596. Brothers, Quality Over Quantity (Part One)
To be honest, those soldiers did not have a life and death bond with Xu Cheng, and the combined assault from ten nations sounded so scary that it somewhat shook their hearts.
It would be a lie to say that they weren’t afraid.
Diesel knew exactly how these people think, so his threat was a reminder rather than a warning, and more so proof of his will to follow Xu Cheng’s lead in the future.
Of course, he didn’t want anyone to go out and turn into their enemy because of this. He wanted these people to stay and join the Deviant Mercenaries, as well as accept their new identity as a part of the Deviant Corp!
If Diesel hadn’t received treatment with Xu Cheng’s serum, he would have been uncertain about this idea too simply because the power of ten nations joined together was unimaginable.
Even the King of Mercenaries, Kush’s Continental Mercenary Group might not even dare to say that they could win against 280 skilled special forces soldiers who were A-rank and above.
This number of people and their average strength could be counted as an extreme in the world.
If they wanted to execute someone, who in the Land of Mercenaries could protect that person? So it was not unreasonable for these people to walk away and be afraid.
There were only 200 armed soldiers in this mountainous area. Not to mention strength that their strength didn’t even compare to those special forces soldiers, they didn’t even have an advantage in numbers.
To be frank, this was an unequal battle.
Out of the ten beheading missions in history, the leader was directly handed over six times, and the rest who didn’t hand over their leader were wiped out.

It’s no different than dying at all. The reason we all ran here is so that we could stay alive, so why do you think we kept gathering together for? It’s so we have more people to fight for survival during those military drills. Yet now, you’re attracting all the soldiers from the ten nations towards us? Isn’t this asking for death? That was not what we wanted,
a soldier intended to be sensible as he tried to defend himself.
As soon as he spoke, Diesel went over and grabbed that mercenary by his collar while cursing,
Son of a btch, do you have the guts to say that again? I’ll shoot you in the head if you dare. What you’re doing is no different from that of a traitor when you’re trying to weaken our military morale at this time. Do you know what you’re talking about? How did those people know ten nations are coming? It’s definitely because the nations deliberately let the word out. They want us to lose without a fight so that they can complete their beheading mission with the lowest cost
.

But what he’s saying is not unreasonable!
Other mercenaries who had the courage to speak up also said,
We want to resist, but it doesn’t mean that we want to completely offend all ten nations. Captain Diesel, and the other captains, our boss is dead, so we could have established our own mountain. There is no need to follow this jinx, right? I’m sure we all have the same thing in mind, and it’s just that we’re afraid of Big Brother Cheng’s authority. But I still want to say it, our lives are more important than anything else!

Diesel was angry as he went over and ripped that soldier’s throat out directly with his hands.
The former captains of the Cobras yelled at Diesel.
Diesel, what are you doing?

Diesel glared at that group of people and yelled,
Can’t you see he’s discouraging everyone? What’s the point of keeping this kind of soldier?


But he’s our brother!

Diesel looked at those old team captains.
Even you guys want to turn your backs on us at this point?

Those captains who were hesitant lowered their heads and didn’t speak.
Diesel looked at them one by one and cursed,
Who was it?! Who were bullied by the Wild Wolves, before our Big Brother Cheng avenged us and wiped out Wild Wolves for them!? If you were not committed to the Deviant Corp, may I ask if you would have survived the first mission? Can’t you see that the Black Cats and the other wimps have taken refuge here? You’re all chameleons now that you know the city is being targeted by all 10 nations? You just say we are brothers, but I’ll tell you, if one day one of you is the target of a beheading mission, it will be these so-called brothers around you who will be the first to betray you!

Chapter 596. Brothers, Quality Over Quantity (Part Two)
Diesel was enraged.

I believe Cobras aren’t afraid to die.

The other captains defended themselves,
But that doesn’t mean you have to die unnecessarily! He’s right, as long as we get out this time, we’ll make it through the winter. Who cares what anyone says after that, whoever survives wins.


Alright.
Xu Cheng stepped forward at this time.
I have been thinking and also searching for whether there are brothers who can be trusted in times of life and death, and I think while it is difficult, I believe there are. Quality over quantity!

Xu Cheng raised his finger to the gate and said,
Those who want to leave, can leave now. I will not keep anyone, nor will I blame anyone. But I still say the same thing: after stepping out of this door, we will be enemies when we meet again in the future! There will be no camaraderie to speak of.

Those captains looked at one another. Out of the eight captains from Cobra, seven of them if Diesel was excluded, about five of them turned around and looked like they were going to leave with their followers.
Xu Cheng looked at Mario and Vala’s group as he said,
You guys can also leave, I won’t force people to stay. They are right, tonight might be a deadly situation.

Mario looked at Zhang Xiu and asked,
Then are you going to leave?

Zhang Xiu and the others nodded as well.
Yeah, are you leaving?

Mario looked at the engineers behind him.
I’m responsible for this place, so I’m not leaving.

Mario:
If the boss isn’t leaving, then neither are we. It’s hard for me to be an officer here and still have brothers. More importantly, it’s so hard to make it feel like home. I don’t want to drift anymore.

The others nodded in agreement.
Xu Cheng looked at Luo Yi and Li Wei and asked in a lighthearted manner,
What about you two? Although we’ve suffered together in the past, this time, I want to ask you both properly. If one day, you have to choose between the country or me, who would it be?

Li Wei and Luo Yi were stunned at first, and then they smiled bitterly.
Then we can tell you today that we have done enough for the country in the first half of our lives, and in this second half of our lives, we are for you!

Xu Cheng:
Good!

Xu Cheng wasn’t going to feel distressed or upset no matter how many people left tonight. He had said before that Deviant Corp doesn’t have to have many people, but it needs to have the right people, and that they are loyal to him!
Those who stayed tonight were far more than he could have imagined, and he was satisfied.
He said cheerfully to those who wanted to leave,
You can go now! While I’m in a good mood, I won’t try to persuade anyone that wants to leave.

With the boss being this easy to talk to, those that were hesitant about leaving because they were afraid of being given a hard time didn’t have any reason to stay anymore.
Five captains brought their original subordinates, which meant that more than 170 people inside the 200 Cobras were about to follow the five captains’ intention to leave; and a few more were former subordinates of Diesel and the other two captains who stayed behind. Those wanted to persuade the three of them as they said,
Let’s all go together, we just have to survive tonight, and this area will be ours from now on. Aside from the Dragons, we will be the second largest mercenary group in the region!

Diesel said to the gang with a cold tone,
Get out! Any more nagging and you’ll end up like the one just now.

The corpse of the mercenary whose throat he had torn out was still laying on the ground.
