A strange world

Chapter 1323 Section 245. Reconcile with Yourself

As the largest gang in this area, the Wolf Gang has the most gang members, hard laborers, and the best coal mines.

Even if more than 30 people who fought desperately and were loyal to the Wolf King were excluded, there were still more than 500 people left. Among them, there were more than 70 gang members.

Joan wanted to directly accept them into the Freedom Gang, but Jody raised objections.

"They changed from members of the Wolf Gang to members of the Freedom Gang, but their own evil has not been eliminated." He proposed that these people go to the mine to dig coal for a while.

As for the small leaders who surrendered, most of them were professionals, and Jody led them personally. I think a quasi-paladin can make them repent of their mistakes.

Joan wanted to say that the Freedom Gang didn't do this, but there were only a dozen people at that time...

"Okay, do as you say."

Knowing that they were going to be thrown into the coal mine as hard laborers, the gang members cried and shouted, but it was useless-even the Wolf King boss was beheaded by this group of people, and they would die if they resisted.

They thought they would die of exhaustion in the mines like the hard laborers. Then they suddenly found that it seemed that their treatment was better after they became hard laborers.

The Wolf Gang occupied the best mines and collected protection fees everywhere, but the money went into the Wolf King's pocket, leaving only one tenth for his subordinates.

Joan was not like that. They had greater ideals and were not interested in money. She would spend as much as she earned.

When the gang members found that they could get money even as hard labor, had time to rest, and would not be beaten by the leader, they instantly threw away their loyalty to the Wolf King and worked for the new boss.

Compared with the crooked wooden fences that were easy to climb over and the leaky Valoran Basin and Hyjal Fjord, the Wolf Gang was a perfect stronghold.

Backed by the mountains, the solid outer wall surrounded the only pass, although the gate was demolished by Gloria.

It's just that the way of seizing is wrong...

Jody thinks that they should go to the poor, mobilize the poor, and then let the poor liberate the poor, but now it has become the old-fashioned "the lord leads the civilians to achieve great things"?

This has been played out enough in the Allen continent, even in the Broken Mountains...the original Raymond family also established themselves in this way.

"Where did you all come from? Did you take the coal mine?" Joan asked them.

Gloria said that she found a coal mine at random and killed their boss, and the coal mine and the workers belonged to her.

Jody suddenly felt that Princess Joan's approach was not unacceptable...

"I had almost talked to Fisher of the Sweetwater Gang before I came here, and he should have made a decision."

Next, Joan promoted all the free gang members who came with her to small leaders, and then asked them to send letters to Gloria and Jody respectively.

Harding volunteered to personally lead people to the Hygar Valley.

Joan guessed that he was going to show off, so she didn't expose him, but reminded Harding to be careful of their rebellion.

As for the members of the Pain Gang, Joan kept her word and set them free.

But these people didn't want to leave and wanted to stay.

Joan couldn't forget the pain they caused her. She said coldly: "I won't believe in enemies who harm my brothers and sisters. If you stay, you can only be sent to the coal mine as workers."

Even so, they accepted it.

"We have no home for a long time..."

They are a group of confused people, and everything they do is just to survive.

Joan couldn't help but think that there is also a group of such people in Liberty City - the Forgotten.

They don't contact the outside world, stay in the camp all day, and practice harder than the Hellfire Legion. Just wait for Annan to give an order one day and send troops to the north.

It was getting dark, and after sending the Pain Gang to the coal mine, Joan didn't make any arrangements.

The Wolf King's bedroom is in the deepest part of the cave hall. All the property he looted is basically placed here and blocked by spells.

But they are all early warning spells, which have no effect except making a harsh noise - you can't pull the dead Wolf King back.

The treasures in the treasure chest were dazzling, and it was roughly estimated that there would be no less than a few hundred gold nars.

Joan couldn't help but secretly look at Ilimoyas, but she was indifferent as if she had changed her dragon.

Was Ilimoyas also angry with herself?

Joan muttered in her heart, closed the treasure chest, and had no intention of using the money for the time being.

There were many "rooms" around the wolf king's bedroom, which were basically constant temperature caves.

Joan and the others stayed here. Later, Ilimoyas called her over.

As soon as she walked in, Joan saw the oval portal standing in the middle.

Joan's eyes followed Ilimoyas who walked out and fell back into the portal.

"Ilimoyas said you have made new progress." Annan still had a soft smile, "but you look a little depressed."

"Is it obvious?" Joan asked.

"Your mouth is so pouty that you can hang a bottle on it."

"That's not so exaggerated..."

Joan muttered, half confessing and half complaining to Annan about what happened earlier.

She was very complicated, and Annan was just the right person to confess to: she knew that Ilimayas was doing good for her, but she couldn't accept the price...

Annan pondered for a moment after listening.

"Do you know Xiaosmo? Let me tell you a story."

Annan's judgment was correct. Joan and Xiaosmo were indeed the same kind of people: they had the same life trajectory, faced the same choices, and endured the same pain.

He started from when he was a humble child, struggling at the bottom, being helped by Lame Babu, and then following me. After the war, he lost his life goal and had the idea of ​​committing suicide, but was pulled back by me.

"He has experienced betrayal, despair, witnessed pain, death, and confusion. Those who died in front of him are still unforgettable to him, but at the same time, these have also made him."

"He is just a small thug from the Salted Fish Gang who is so thin that his ribs can be seen. If nothing happened later."

"I don't want to say who is right or wrong, and this world is never black and white. I can only help you reconcile with yourself."

"Reconcile with yourself..." Joan murmured.

"Also, Ilimoas's friendship is hard-won, cherish it."

"Friendship?" Joan raised her head.

"A dragon spends its own wealth to treat a human's injury. If it is not friendship, is it still love?"

The portal flickered, and the time was up.

At the last moment, Annan suddenly said to her: "Smile."

"Why?" Joan was puzzled.

"Having a deep hatred will make you look tough, but it won't make people believe you."

"I know..."

Joan forced a not-so-good smile.

...

As the portal disappeared, the cave dimmed.

Joan walked out and saw Ilimoyas, who had not walked far, standing at the entrance of the cave.

"I'm sorry."

She walked over, apologetically.

"You're right, a naive person can't be a leader. We could have avoided sacrifice...I relied too much on your strength and thought that I could just leave things to you. It was me who really killed them."

"I won't let this happen again."
