Chapter 150 Choosing to leave and testing

Looking at the villagers on both sides of the road who were shouting in unison with satisfaction, they felt that their hearts were available.

He waved to Xiao Paji.

Upon receiving the signal, Little Paji took off on the spot and leaped over to block the retreat of most of the deserters, only a small number of deserters were deliberately let go.

The knights and soldiers who had been blocked by Little Paji before they had time to escape were in a desperate situation.

They turned around, trying to break out from the direction of the masked man Xuan Yuan.

I saw Xuan Yuan turn around for a run-up, leap out a straight-line distance of nearly 30 meters in one breath, and lightly step on the back after landing.

A large area of ​​the camouflaged ground collapsed, revealing a ravine.

The new ravine joined the ravines on both sides of the road to form an impassable moat, cutting off the soldiers' hope of escape.

In the rectangular trap, three sides are insurmountable ravines and surrounded by enemies, and the only escape route is blocked by invincible spherical monsters.

The shouts of the villagers also turned into:

"Surrender without killing!"

In desperation, the soldiers did not know who was the first to lay down their weapons and knelt on the ground.

Soon, all soldiers chose to surrender.

Xuan Yuan led Xiao Paji to these soldiers, and ordered them to take off their weapons and equipment, and their own people tied up their own people.

in this process.

Some soldiers also tried to sneak attack Xuan Yuan, who looked like the leader, but Xuan Yuan punched him to the ground.

Xiao Paji sat down on the opponent, making him faint on the spot.

After that, no soldiers dared to attack Xuanyuan again.

After all the soldiers were tied up, the villagers who were ambushing also rushed over.

Facing the group of soldiers sitting on the ground with their hands and feet tied.

A group of village chiefs walked up to Xuan Yuan and smiled wryly:
"Outsider, we were really beaten by you."

"Now, even if we don't want to rebel, we have to."

The old village head stood up:
"Don't blame this foreigner, everything ahead is the plan of the foreigner, but I came up with the idea of ​​driving you back together."

The other village chiefs were shocked when they heard this:

"how so?"

The old village head sighed:

"It's hard to get by."

"In the beginning, more and more food was handed over, and then more and more property was handed over, and now even the essence is not spared."

"It's already like this, don't you guys still have ridiculous fantasies about that king?"

Xuan Yuan nodded in approval:

"It seems that there is still a choice, but in fact you have no choice."

"No matter what purpose this king has, he obviously doesn't want you to live, otherwise it would be impossible to implement such an absurd breathing tax."

"My arrival is a variable and an opportunity for you."

"If you give up this opportunity and continue to choose patience, you will surely die slowly."

Hearing what the old village chief and Xuan Yuan said, the other eleven village chiefs were all silent.

Xuan Yuan didn't care what the village chiefs were thinking.

Turn around directly and continue to arrange the next step.

After rescuing the trapped villagers, the village chiefs were asked to select people with strong martial arts skills and agility in the village, and they launched an arm-wrestling and other force duel with this group of cavalry and soldiers in batches.

Because of the guards of Xuan Yuan and Xiao Paji.

Although the soldiers could easily defeat these villagers who had lost their muscular essence, none of the soldiers dared to win.

As he discussed the plan with the old village head, the other party explained the same.

If the villagers can defeat the soldiers in the duel of strength, they can indeed absorb the muscle essence of the soldiers and restore their original strong physique.

Let the villagers put on the full set of equipment and weapons left by the soldiers and knights, and their strength will be greatly improved immediately.

Few of the villagers know how to ride a horse.

Xuan Yuan only got 23 cavalry in total, but got 220 infantry.

Among the captured soldiers, the man in the velvet cap was not found, apparently he escaped by sneaking into the cavalry in the chaos.

Having completely transformed the strength of the captives, Xuan Yuan, who has a certain amount of troops, is thinking about how to attack the capital and defeat the king in the next step.

I saw the old village head from a distance, leading the four village heads walking towards him.

Xuan Yuan asked: "What's wrong?"

The village chiefs seemed a little guilty, they didn't dare to look at Xuan Yuan with their heads down, and the old village chief didn't want to explain, waiting for them to speak to Xuan Yuan themselves.

After a few seconds of silence, the bearded village head stood up first and said:

"We didn't want to fight back, but you forced us into a corner."

"If you don't defeat the king, our whole family will lose their lives for it. I'm not afraid of death, but I absolutely don't want to implicate my family."

Xuan Yuan nodded and asked:
"so?"

The bearded village chief lowered his head:
"There is a secret passage known only to the village chiefs of the past generations, which can lead to the outside world across the border."

"People in several of our villages want to leave here and go outside the border to rebuild the village."

"There, the king's soldiers cannot govern us."

Xuan Yuan nodded:

"Of course, I am free to come and go here."

"If you want to go, you can go directly. If you really don't want to participate in the battle, it doesn't make sense for me to force you to participate."

"In the original plan, I never thought of forcing you to turn against me. It was the request of the old village chief."

"He said that you must be forced to turn back, otherwise some of you will join the team on the surface, but in fact secretly inform the king's capital, or stab your own people at critical moments."

"When the old village chief was discussing the plan with me, he had already told me about the secret border road, so I agreed to push you all back."

"As long as you don't join the king's camp, that's enough."

Hearing this, the bearded village chief and the other three village chiefs breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked at each other and continued:
"However, from time to time there are some dangerous monsters prowling the Boundary Path."

"There have to be enough people to ensure the safety of life."

"Therefore, all the people in the four villages need the protection of at least a hundred powerful soldiers to ensure safe passage through the trail."

Speaking of this, the bearded village chief seemed to feel embarrassed himself, and quickly explained:
"Just borrow a hundred soldiers to escort."

"After we reach the outside world through the trail and settle down, these one hundred soldiers can immediately go back the same way."

"However, it will take at least four days to go back and forth."

Xuan Yuan pondered for a while and said:

"Count yesterday."

"I'm only here for three days in total, and then I'm leaving."

"So, after these soldiers are loaned to you, they will not be able to participate in all the next battles."

Hearing this, several village chiefs immediately showed disappointment.

However, Xuan Yuan changed the topic:
"How about this, let the villagers who want to leave from other villages go with you to find a safe place outside to build a village, at least there will be a way out."

"I can send all the infantry except the cavalry to escort you to the outside world."

"Is this going to keep you safe?"

Hearing this, several village elders nodded happily:
"The number has increased, but more than 200 fully armed soldiers are enough anyway."

Xuan Yuan told the old village chief:

"Go and inform the other villages."

"Calculate the list of people in this village who don't want to participate in the battle, want to leave, and want to go to the outside world."

"Don't force it, tell everyone the truth."

"Leave only those villagers who are still willing to fight with me and overthrow the king together."

Hear these words.

The village chiefs were very moved and a little ashamed. After thanking Xuan Yuan, they left happily.

Looking at the backs of several village chiefs leaving.

The old village chief looked at Xuan Yuan, made a beheading motion on the neck with his hands, and asked quietly:
"Should I find some soldiers and kill these village chiefs secretly?"

Xuan Yuan looked at the old village chief and said with a smile:

"You are all compatriots, don't be so murderous."

"For me, it is better to lead 50 villagers who have lost their muscle essence and are still united with me than to lead a thousand strong soldiers with different thoughts."

"At least, the latter know that they are not fighting for me, but fighting for their own ideals and future. Even if they unfortunately die in battle, they can have no regrets."

"Only such a person, I am willing to be their commander."

"I don't want to manipulate others to serve me through violence and deceit. I just want to gather a group of warriors who are willing to fight for pure inner beliefs."

"Otherwise, it's better for me to do it alone."

The old village head said with emotion:

"Your character really makes me admire."

After leaving these words, the old village head walked away.

Not long after, I saw the old village chief leading the other eleven village chiefs, including those village chiefs who had indicated that they would leave.

They walked up to Xuan Yuan together, knelt down on one knee, and said in unison:

"We are willing to pledge our allegiance to you and are always at your service!"

Xuan Yuan looked at these village chiefs with a strange expression on his face:

"What's wrong? What happened?"

The old village head bowed his head and said:

"terribly sorry."

"What happened just now is actually just that we want to test your strength."
