Chapter 96 The Last Temptation
The battlefield is now quite tragic. Ten of the four little spiders have been cut off on their thirty-two legs. The spider's legs are scattered around. One little spider's fangs are broken, and the large jaws on both sides of the mouthpiece have also been broken halfway. The attack ability is severely reduced. The other one is even worse. The abdomen is cut open, and the white and green body fluids flow all over the ground, and even the movements are much slower.
On the contrary, the six Near Guard Zergs remained intact, and their attacks and defenses were as fast and efficient as before. More importantly, two of them had already broken through the defense line of the increasingly weak little spider, joined the battlefield between the mutant spider mother and the queen, and launched a fierce attack on the entangled spider mother.
Indeed, their strength is much weaker than that of the Spider Mother, and it is difficult to cause substantial damage to the Spider Mother. However, the Spider Mother now has no time to counterattack and dodge, and can only passively withstand all attacks. Over time, not only has a lot of minor injuries on their bodies, but even the battle with the Queen was disturbed. He was bitten by the Spider Mother's big mouth and sprayed out like a green body fluid fountain.
"It's going to be defeated." Standing at the door and watching the battle situation, Shuer suddenly sighed, "At least five minutes, the first little spider will die, and then there will be a chain reaction. The little spider's death will get faster and faster. When the last little spider dies, the doomsday of the mutant spider mother will come."
"Yes." It doesn't matter who makes the sound, what's important is that someone finally took the initiative to talk.
Shuer's judgment of the battle situation was very accurate. Although the little spider with a torn abdomen barely supported the battle for another time, he was already lying on the ground and unable to move in less than a minute. Although he was not dead yet, he could still wield his remaining limbs to defend against the attacks of the insects, but if nothing unexpected happens, he will probably not be able to do so soon.
"They are just a group of spiders." Shur said lightly, "Even smart creatures are not considered as. Even if we help them, they don't know what kind of appreciation means. Moreover, they came to fight against the Zerg queen for their own purposes, not to help us, and we don't owe them."
"Um."
This is actually true. Since each has its own purpose, you must be responsible for the consequences of your actions. There is no question of who owe anyone.
"If we help them kill the queen and save them, and after the common enemy disappears, it will probably be our turn to be attacked. After all, both of us are enemies. Even if we don't attack us and let them return to Pavatiga, it will also be a threat to the creatures there. For the peace of Pavatiga, we should also eliminate hidden dangers at the source."
"Um."
"Huh, no, I can't convince myself." After persisting for a while, Shuer finally gave up his resistance and said with a wry smile, "I can't stand it anymore. Why don't we help it?"
"Hey? You are actually interested in spiders too? It's fine if you have such a beautiful deer like me, you can even take advantage of such an ugly spider. Wouldn't you let go of any female?"
"Moriya..." The serious atmosphere created was completely destroyed. Shur hung his shoulders weakly, looking at the Lin Jing who was happy with this with a desperate look, "I am talking about very serious things now."
"I'm very serious too. This is related to your hobbies. Isn't it serious? I tell you that females are also separate. Not every deer is like me..."
"I want to help it." Shuer was too lazy to listen anymore. "The Lord taught us... forget it, just say it, I am indeed a priest now, but when I was in my hometown, I was not a good person. I had deprived countless lives with my own hands, and countless people died indirectly because of me. It is not an exaggeration to say that I had bloody hands. Moreover, I like to cheat others the most before, and all kinds of conspiracies have been formulated. There may be more people who have been plotted against by me than most civilians have seen in their lifetime."
"But I really can't do such a thing that I'll lose if I've used it. Even if I'm just a temporary ally, I've fought against the common enemy side by side, and asked me to leave it and turn my head away, or even watch it die? That's not my style of doing things."
"I can use a person and am happy to use a person, but after using it, I will never take the initiative to throw it away. When it is valuable, it will be thrown away like a piece of garbage when it loses its value. This kind of thing has violated my principles of conduct. I'm sorry, I can't do it."
"I know that this behavior is contrary to the principle of maximizing the interests of mercenaries. For example, the limbs of this legendary monster are very valuable. For example, the legs of the spider mother are excellent forging materials, and venom is a rare alchemy treasure. In the eyes of most people, we have not taken the opportunity to make profits. It is already unreasonable to kill the queen and the spider mother together."
"I also know that it is a big hidden danger to us, and no one can guarantee that it will not suddenly attack on the way back. It is difficult for us eight of us to win against a legendary monster. In addition, we are suddenly attacked and there is a possibility of a group of destruction."
"But I still want to help it. This is very willful. I understand, but this is my bottom line in being a human being. No matter what the result is, at least if I do this, I will not regret it in the future, even if I die because of it."
"Of course, I'm not qualified to ask everyone to take risks with me. This is beyond the scope of normal mercenary missions. Anyway, the exit is near and no longer requires my command. Then I announce that the Shadow-Zhuying Squad will be disbanded, and everyone can leave freely, and I will solve the following matters by myself. After returning to Pavatiga, try to run away as far as possible, so as not to cause trouble for the Spider Mother to turn against you at that time."
"Okay, my last order as the captain has been given. Let's say goodbye. This time I'm very happy to cooperate with you. I hope there will be opportunities to continue to cooperate in the future. Haha, if I'm still alive then."
"Have anyone ever told you a lot of nonsense, Captain." Militi, who was as arrogant as a queen, liked to glance at men with her eyes slanted, and her eyes were always filled with a little contempt. "Your style and your bottom line are not important. We will naturally look at it with our eyes. The important question now is that if you are ready to continue talking nonsense, the little spiders will die. If they don't attract firepower, will you fight against the Guard Zerg?"
"Ha, is this your attitude?" Shuer smiled, "Okay, I just missed a sentence. Everyone can leave freely, but I also welcome those who want to stay and fight side by side."
"Is it true that we are so cold-blooded and not trustworthy at all?" The mountain elf raised his eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly, "Do you think that only you have a bottom line, but we don't have it? If you can do something that you lose after using it, then the first thing I have to do is to deduct all your rewards. Anyway, you have no value for it now."
"Hey, this is not something to be discussed." Shur immediately became anxious and stared at him and protested, "According to the industry rules of the mercenary, even if I die, you must give it to the Dark Moon Temple."
"Hmph, and don't you think you are shameless?" Dark suddenly interrupted Shuer and said with a sneer, "Noble, noble, disgusting aristocratic style. You used to be aristocratic in your hometown, and a great nobleman. I'm right. You are full of aristocratic styles of acting. You don't think anyone can tell you that you are using this method to force us to accept your willfulness? If you say this, even if you want to leave, it's hard to say it anymore. You can only stay and accompany you willfulness. I don't believe you don't understand this principle. Humph, if you want to make everyone go crazy with you, you can't say it directly. You have to use this method to let everyone take the initiative to propose it. What do you think of everyone as? Or do you dare to say that you didn't use any tricks?"
"Uh, really, no, swear in the name of the Lord, every word is sincere."
"Eh? Really?" Moria tilted her head and cheered, "It doesn't look like it."
"Of course it's true, I swear to Lord Dark Moon." Facing Moria's aggressive and shining eyes, Shuer resisted for a moment and then lost, "Okay, I admit that a little bit is really only a little."
"a little?"
"Uh, maybe a little bigger than a little, um, a little bigger."
"Where is your shame? And what about your swearing?"
"Anyway, Lord Luna doesn't care, what are you afraid of?" Xiu subconsciously said, "No, I mean, my vow comes from my sincerity, I..."
"They are really going to die." Friesen's voice came from the shadow, "If you want to leave, go, fight, fight, and if you want to drag it down, you can't even get it."
"What's the hurry? He's just deliberately delaying time." The ordinary winged man looked quite ordinary, and he could see Shuer's purpose at a glance. "This guy is very sinister and risked his life to save the spider? It doesn't exist. He deliberately delayed time just to consume the power of the spider mother to ensure that even if the spider mother suddenly attacked, we can still win steadily."
"Don't you know that human nature cannot withstand temptation?" Mia glared at Shure coldly, "Since you deliberately let us see through it to show sincerity, I will forgive you once, but this time is only once, so I won't be the case."
Mia said something strange, but except for Friesen, everyone here understands what she is saying. This group of people either lived for hundreds of years, or were smart people who often had contact with nobles and had rich experience, and had already said this, how could they not understand it?
Along the way, everyone was observing Shuer's style. Similarly, Shuer was also observing everyone's performance. This time he had already touched me, but he still pretended to be sad and let everyone leave first. It was just a last test.
It is not only testing one's character, but also testing one's intelligence. Well, yes, intelligence. After all, if you want to cooperate for a long time in the future, on the basis of ensuring one's character, you will either be obedient enough or smart enough to ensure the normal operation of the team.
Fortunately, everyone can understand Shuer’s idea, but sadly, some people are not ready to forgive Shuer. Don’t you want to get closer? Don’t you know that I have a sense of responsibility and will not be too much? Humph, let’s see the power of an ordinary winged man’s meal.
"Bang", there was another violent physical collision on the battlefield. Little spiders with only five legs left flew past the edges of eight people, interrupting the attack on Shuer. The little spider hit the metal wall hard and slowly slid down the wall. He was dizzy and could not get up for a long time.
"It's time." Shuer raised his voice and said, "Since everyone forgives me, I'll give orders again, everyone, ready to fight."
