Chapter 481 Persuasion
The Storm Sword was placed on the old machete's neck.

At this time, as long as Veigar moved lightly, he could easily cut through the throat of the old scimitar, which was clear to both Vega and the old scimitar.

But the old scimitar did not move.

He slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the god of death to come. At this moment, he did not show pain and fear like ordinary people. His face had an expression called relief.

This kind of expression can only be possessed by those who want to die.

Therefore, Vega is convinced that the person in front of him is not playing hard to get, trying to deceive him to get a chance to live, but truly regards death as a relief.

What is it that makes a person see death as a release?

There are thousands of reasons, Veigar didn't bother to guess, but put down the sword of the storm that was on the neck of the old scimitar.

"My lord general, won't you kill me?"

There was a little surprise on the old scimitar's face. After all, he was an enemy, and being kind to the enemy was always an expression of cruelty to oneself. However, it is impossible for anyone who deals with death every day to be ignorant of this, let alone commit the wrong act of cutting grass. Rooting errors.

"Do not misunderstand."

Vega looked at the old scimitar and said, "I just don't want to be an excuse for you to evade responsibility, but please satisfy my curiosity a little bit. What kind of reality is it that is more terrifying than death?"

"You know what it's like to carry a burden on your shoulders?"

The old machete's tone was full of powerlessness: "The feeling of shouldering a heavy burden is that tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people are expecting every word you say, everything you do, and expecting you able to lead them back to freedom."

"But... I can't do anything."

"You won't understand!"

The old scimitar showed a mocking expression: "You are no different from the empire. For your own selfish desires, you can casually bury tens of thousands of lives. How can you understand the meaning of responsibility? Your hearts are full of ugly selfishness. .”

"Do you think wicked people don't understand responsibility?"

Veigar recalled the expectations of his parents and friends in his previous life, but his inability to live up to these expectations.It was also at that time that he realized that he was not a genius, and with his humble talent, he was destined to be unable to bear the responsibility that would crush him.

"Do you think wicked people don't want to do good?"

Veigar became a little excited, if he could save the world, then who would not want to be a hero and be praised by others, who would be born to be a demon who enjoys killing people.

But Veigar deeply understands that his humble ability is simply not enough to save the world... No!It is unknown whether he can save himself, so he made a choice——

Become a selfish person who lives for himself.

He also said to the old machete with a sarcasm: "Wake up, you can't protect yourself, how can you protect the whole world? Admit it, you are not a genius, your humble strength is not as good as that of a villain like me."

The old machete lowered his head.

As Vega said, he is not even as good as a villain like Vega, what ability and qualifications does he have to save the children of the tribe and let the tribe return to the freedom of the past?I have to admit that his humble ability is not enough to take on that mountain-like responsibility.

"what should I do……"

The old machete was a little confused, and there seemed to be only one way left for him now, and that was to use death to evade responsibility, and to escape the expectations of his clansmen that were enough to overwhelm him.

Veigar has long seen the heart of the old scimitar: "Do you think escaping is useful? No! You are wrong, escaping is useless, just as dawn will come regardless of whether you expect it or not. No matter what way you use Escape, your people are still enslaved, and your compatriots are still unable to gain freedom."

"Stop trying to save the world."

Veigar hit the nail on the head: "Looking at the reality a little bit, you and I are nothing more than humble mortals. Before saving the world, learn how to destroy it. Destroying something is always easier than repairing it. If you destroy Even the empire can't do it, so how can we have the confidence to save the tribe?"

"If you want to save, you must first learn to destroy!"

"Destroy...the empire..."

The old scimitar seemed to wake up from a dream, but fell silent in an instant: "I can't do it... With my humble strength, it is impossible to destroy the giant empire."

"You even have the courage to shoulder that responsibility, why don't you have the courage to destroy the empire?"

"However, I am 63 years old, is there still time?"

"If you don't win, you die, but if you don't fight, you won't win."

Vega stretched out his hand: "I don't want to save the world, but I want to save myself. You don't want to save yourself, but you want to save the world. Whether it's saving yourself or the world, your obstacles and mine are fundamentally the same."

"bring it on."

Veigar's hand finally held together with the withered right hand of the old scimitar: "Come with me, destroy the empire. Before destroying the empire, even if my soldiers are killed and injured, and your people are tortured, you and I None worthy of mercy."

"Tell me what I should do."

The old machete's tone was a bit chilly. At this moment, he had let go of his responsibilities and put away his expensive compassion. Like Vega, he had become an inhuman "demon".Because the old machete has already understood that at this moment, like Vega, he is not worthy of this responsibility, let alone saving the world.

Veigar already knew his choice when he heard what the old machete said.

He showed a cold smile and said: "What should I do? I think you already know the answer very well. There are only three pillars in the empire, the trial, the army, and the government. I understand the army, and you are familiar with the trial system, so you come to destroy it." Judgment system, I will defeat their army... At that time, the toothless tiger still wants to support the entire empire?"

This is why Veigar convinced the old machete.

Because Veigar has only a half-knowledge of the judicial system, and he can't figure it out at all.

As an internal member of the trial system, the old machete certainly has a far superior understanding of the trial system. With the assistance of the old machete, an 'industry insider', it is no longer a fantasy to paralyze the trial system.

Moreover, finding such an enemy for the judicial system will inevitably distract the judicial system, and it will not have much time to pay attention to him, a traitor, and he can temporarily relax his vigilance.

the most important is.

The old scimitar and the empire seem to be at odds, and the enemy of the enemy is his friend. First of all, there is no need to doubt the loyalty of the old scimitar, because if you want to destroy the empire, you have no choice but to cooperate with him.

and.

The old scimitar seems to have a good prestige among the tribes in the western part of the empire. If one day a war is officially launched against the empire, the old scimitar may become that crucial pawn.
