Chapter 3997 Everyone Is Afraid of Death

"You all think that we should retreat from here now, right? But I have something to say. You can try to think about it. If we leave now, will Freeman let us go?"

"There shouldn't be any need to think about this. According to the rules on the mercenary battlefield, once we choose to retreat, no one will stop us."

Bart said decisively that there is indeed such a rule in the mercenary world. Once there is a mercenary group, choose to withdraw from here and promise not to enter here again in the future. ,

So no matter how big the grievances he had with other mercenary groups before, he could not continue to pursue or pursue them. This rule existed from the beginning, but after hearing Bart's words, Xu Qiang sneered a few times.

He has seen a lot of things and experienced a lot, so he can figure out some issues by himself, and he can also think ahead of others.

"Bart, have you ever heard of a word? Rules are always made by the strong. The weak only have to follow the rules."

"What do you mean?"

"Perhaps those people in Rost thought the same way before. Their defeat was already decided and they chose to surrender because according to the rules, as long as they surrendered, they could not shoot at them. But I don't need to say more about what the result will be. Bar."

Xu Qiang used facts to give examples, and in fact this is indeed the case. Rules are made by the strong, and this has been the case since ancient times.

Those who chose to surrender to Freeman thought that Freeman would abide by the rules. At worst, he would take them back to work as coolies. As long as they could survive, the price didn't matter.

But the result was beyond their expectations. Freeman ordered people to shoot. Even those who surrendered would not be spared and all of them would be killed. These people died in their delusions.

"Since Freeman can violate such a rule, what binding rule does the so-called rule of not continuing to pursue after retreat have on him? He can still attack us when we retreat."

Xu Qiang said, there is no need to doubt that Freeman can do such a thing. Originally, Freeman hated him to the core, how could he just watch him withdraw with his people.

This sentence made it impossible for those present to refute. Indeed, what Xu Qiang told everyone was a fact, not just a hypothesis. Now that they are stationed, they still have the ability to fight back.

If they were intercepted during the retreat, the waiting result would be the annihilation of the entire army. Qin Gang's face was pale. He had already thought of what it would be like and frowned tightly.

"Damn, this is too tragic. The way to retreat is impassable. Are we just here, waiting for Freeman to come and beat us?"

Qin Gang had a bad temper, and he didn't think he would die like this. When he faced Xiao Yi and death was close, he still survived in the end.

There are still many things that have not been done, and he has not found a woman to give him children to continue his descendants. It would be a shame to die here. He wanted to hear if Xu Qiang had any ideas.

"It is impossible to get beaten here. Freeman defeated Rost, and he is probably not in a hurry to launch an attack at this time. According to Freeman's nature, he should be holding a celebration banquet at this time."

Perode said that Freeman is now powerful and has reached its peak, but on the contrary, the Cold Sword Mercenary Group has been the safest in recent days.

He knows Freeman too well. Others should have proposed the night attack plan and guided Freeman to launch the attack. Freeman cannot think of such a perfect plan in his mind, so the most difficult thing to deal with now is It's not Freeman, but the strategist around Freeman.

In addition, he can think of what kind of proud face Freeman looks like now. He must be gathering people and holding his own celebration banquet to boost morale and show his majesty.

"The next few days are very important for us, because once Freeman settles down, he will definitely take action against us. These days are left for us to prepare."

Perode is the deputy of this mercenary group. When facing this crisis, he must remain calm and prepare for the battle to the best of his ability.

This battle may not be lost, but winning must be tragic.

Because there is no other choice but to fight, fighting can continue to survive, he went on to say.

"The battle with Freeman is very crucial. In the next few days, I will make further arrangements. Everyone should stay in the camp these days and do not go out. All actions must obey Xu Qiang's orders and arrangements. , If anyone leaves privately, don’t blame me for not warning you in advance, and act in accordance with military law.”

A warning was given in advance. This was a mercenary group, not a scattered team. The more serious the moment, the more worried Perod was about something happening.

He couldn't tell Xu Qiang exactly why. Xu Qiang probably knew in his heart that he could only make next arrangements with the guarantee of people like himself. He didn't want the Lengjian mercenary group to follow in Rost's footsteps.

"Okay, the meeting is over now. When we go back, everyone will do their own jobs."

The people present were dismissed, leaving only Lenny Xu Qiang, Perod himself, and Duan Zhisheng.

The reason for letting these people leave is because there are some secret things to talk about. The fewer people who know about these things, the safer it is. Perrod knows that some things are just bad on some people's lips.

After these people left, Xu Qiang knew that he had something to say and knew Perod's intention, so he asked Perod.

"If you have anything else to say, just say it directly. The people here are trustworthy. If they all have problems, I would have died long ago."

Xu Qiang said that Lenny and he had experienced life and death many times, not to mention Duan Zhisheng, and Perod knew this.

"Captain Xu Qiang, you should be able to smell that there is a smell of rebellion in our team."

"You mean..."

"I'm not pointing at a certain person, but I'm saying that there is a smell of rebellion among the mercenaries."

Perod emphasized that such words must be spoken responsibly, and without any evidence, one person cannot be pointed at.

He just said that there were some problems in the mercenary group, and this problem must be dealt with in time, otherwise they will disperse before Freyman's people come over.

"I admit that if a battle breaks out with Freyman, the battle scene will be very tragic and many people will die. As long as a normal person has fear and terror in his heart, I am also afraid of death."
