On the Seven Towers
Chapter 710 To save or not to save
Roger said: "Excuse me for saying something disrespectful, Master Xiao Chen has experienced much more than you. It's not surprising that you have such thoughts now, but you have not experienced enough."
Xiao Chen said: "It is undeniable that I am not as knowledgeable as you in many areas, but because of this, I can say some things more in line with my heart. I think my will is not strong enough, and I often waver because of this or that point of view. Once I waver, I often lose my goal or deviate from the path I want to take. Your Xiao Chen is the same. After all, I am him, and I know what he is like in his heart. Coming to this world and experiencing many things will definitely make him have this or that idea, which will shake some things in his heart. Maybe he is just in a trough, maybe one day he will figure it out, and going on like this will deviate from what he pursues.
You have always called him an adult, which is not common in our group. I guess you stubbornly recognize a part of him, so you call him like this.
Tell me, Roger, what was the most important thing that attracted you to work for him? Is it to change this world? If the key to change this world is in the hands of a selfish, cowardly "hero" who dares not save people even when it is basically safe. Do you think he is still trustworthy? "
Roger was a little angry, and at the same time he felt a little funny, because the man in front of him was denying himself, "You can't say that, you haven't experienced those things, and our Lord Xiao Chen hasn't become a person like you."
"Of course, but I know my little thoughts very well. Everyone may become that kind of person if they are not careful. There is a devil in each of us who can speak well, and use the most righteous words to lure us to take that step. "
Roger lowered his voice: "Maybe you are right. But even if these people are rescued by us, it is difficult for them to escape to a safe place by themselves. And we don't have the time and ability to escort them. "
Xiao Chen said: "We do our best and live up to our conscience. Giving them a chance to escape is much better than them suffering the pain of family destruction now. "
Just as the two were arguing, the soldiers on the city wall were walking towards the stairs with curses.
"Okay, stop talking. Should we do it or not?" Evelyn took off the bow on her back. "I really want to shoot those scums to death."
Roger stood up and drew out the Thunder Mark Sword. "Do it."
Evelin took out three arrows from the quiver without saying a word, put the bow on the string, and then let go. Three arrows flew out, followed by three more. The six arrows shot at the soldiers on the top of the city in the dark. Those people didn't even have time to scream and fell to the ground.
"Evelin, you cover us and kill all the enemies who showed up on the tower of the city wall. I will go and kill the convoy transporting goods at the door first. There seems to be someone there who should be their commander. As for you..." Roger looked at Xiao Chen. He was the one who issued orders in the past. But today, Roger had to take over this job.
"I will listen to your command and never run around. I have some experience with those attack magics, and I also found this." Xiao Chen shook the air pistol in his hand.
"Watch the city gate. If anyone comes out, use magic to greet them. We will march in steadily from outside the city." Roger said, and rushed to the leader who was directing the soldiers to load the looted food at the door.
Evelyn shot arrows to kill the soldiers in the two sentry towers, and then said to Xiao Chen while guarding the surroundings: "I will tell our Xiao Chen what you just said. I think it should be very useful to him. This world is too complicated, and he often falls into confusion in one way or another."
"Do you think I'm right?"
"There are all kinds of people who do great things. They can all leave their own marks in history books, but it is very different for everyone living under their rule at that time. The dark elves are willing to join you to fight, in addition to the crisis of the world tree, it is also because your compassion for us has touched many people.
I know what you are worried about. It is easy to bully others by pretending to be decisive; when there is a choice, It is also easy to become good at calculating gains and losses, but what's the use of it? A moment of fear can unite a group of people, and a moment of snobbery can buy a group of people, but the hidden dissatisfaction and greed can quickly tear it apart. Many empires have fallen one by one. As elves, we have seen too many.
I can see Xiao Chen's wish, and I like it, so you have to help him go on. "
Xiao Chen looked at her and said, "It turns out that you are a hidden orator. You should have said it just now."
Roger's prediction of the enemy was very accurate. It was really a detachment of more than 100 people, but the leader of the escort team was slightly stronger than Roger expected. He was a warrior who had just reached the middle level. But for Roger, who was close to the peak of the high level, there was no difference. He killed him and other miscellaneous soldiers effortlessly.
After entering the city, those mobs blinded by money and sex were no match for the three. Even Xiao Chen took several shots in succession and killed several enemies. It took them about an hour to clean up the town. Except for those who fled, half of the imperial soldiers had died in their hands.
But they were still a little late. Most of the families in the town had been looted. The original baron's family was even killed.
But what made Xiao Chen very angry was that most of the imperials who stayed behind were young and strong men and women, who were probably used as coolies for the army. They were not slave traders, and they showed no mercy to the old and useless old people and children, and basically killed them on sight. In almost every house they broke into, there were corpses of these poor people.
"This commander is too much." Roger couldn't help but say.
"I really want to pull him up and kill him again." Xiao Chen said.
Roger and Evelyn didn't understand what he said, but they could feel the anger in his tone.
Xiao Chen gathered some of the survivors in the town to the small square in the center of the town. There was a very sad atmosphere here. Almost everyone present had a family member who died in the looting. There were soft sobs everywhere, and occasionally a few heart-wrenching wails came from afar.
Xiao Chen knew that it was useless to say anything more to these people now, so he simply told them: "The imperialists have already invaded, the kingdom is in civil war, no one can take care of you, only the Chinese in Suero provide protection for everyone going there. If you want to survive, set off!"
After explaining these things, the three of them hurriedly left here and headed south.
"I thought you would take them with you and protect them." Roger said.
Xiao Chen said: "I have sympathy, but I am not a fool. I can do as much as I can. We have tried our best.
And...if I accompany you for a while, I might really get sleepy."
