Hearing these words, all of the bandit leaders were shocked.
They looked at each other, each of them seeing the incredulity in each other’s eyes.
Them… soldiers?
They couldn’t be united at all, right?
Could a bunch of bandits also be soldiers?
The shirtless bald man said with a troubled expression,
“How can we become soldiers? Soldiers need to be disciplined, but we are all boorish and are used to being lazy.”
These words could be said to have expressed everyone’s thoughts.
They slept for as many hours as they wanted every day. Apart from eating and drinking, they basically had nothing else to do.
When their money was running out, only then would they rob some money and live a comfortable life.
How could they handle the fact that they were suddenly soldiers?
However, Mike immediately dispelled their worries.
“Don’t worry. Being a soldier under me doesn’t require discipline.
“You can sleep as usual. Food and drinks are all provided by the country.
“There are only a few points that you have to pay attention to. The first is that you can not rob money in the future because you are soldiers and not bandits.
“Of course, you don’t need to rob because the country will give you money.”
Hearing this, they all nodded. They were slightly convinced by Mike.
If they did not have to worry about food and clothing, who would be willing to rob?
To them, robbing money was equivalent to working. It would be better if they could rest.
“Second, you can’t bully civilians anymore. If you want to be respected by them, you have to respect them first.”
Hearing this, they nodded again.
In fact, everyone wanted to be liked by others.
Moreover, in many cases, fear and respect were two different things.
Whether they were bandits or soldiers, those civilians would not dare to go against them.
However, when they were bandits, the civilians simply feared and hated them.
Though if they were soldiers, the civilians would still respect them.
Speaking of which, some of the bandit leaders were already tempted.
The shirtless baldy asked,
“Anything else?”
“Of course,” Mike said with a smile.
“For the previous conditions, you guys aren’t contributing anything. They are just to ensure you don’t do anything wrong.
“But the last point is the important point.
“And that is, will you fight?”
“Go into battle to kill the enemy?”
Hearing this, their expressions became awkward.
The first part was all about benefits, but this point was about responsibility.
For them, no one was willing to take responsibility.
Moreover, this responsibility might even cost them their lives.
Mike could also see that they were in a difficult position.
All of this was within his expectations.
How was it possible for a bunch of bandits who used to robbed civilians to suddenly start fighting to the death for civilians?
However, he naturally had his own thoughts.
“In fact, you don’t actually need to fight.”
“Don’t need to fight?”
They were dumbfounded again.
Didn’t he just say that they needed to go into battle and kill the enemy? Why didn’t they need to fight now?
Mike knew their doubts and immediately explained.
“To be honest, you might not believe it. With my strength, it would be very easy for me to destroy a country by myself.
“But I won’t do it because of the benefits.
“If there is a war between us humans and other races, and I kill all the enemies, resulting in the destruction of their country, do you think that’s a good idea?”
The bandit leaders looked at each other.
“Isn’t that good? The cities will be are ours, and all the land will also be ours, as well as the money.
