Chapter 132 - Don’t Kill All the Enemies, Let Them Make Money for Us! (2/2)

“Isn’t that equivalent to making a fortune?”

Mike shook his head.

“No, your idea is too simple.

“The land needs to be farmed by, the shops and workshops need people to operate.

“Without people, those things will lose their value.

“Rather than destroying a country, it’s better to ask them to pay for their safety after winning the war.

“In this way, they work for us. Do you understand?”

Hearing this, the bandit leaders’ eyes lit up.

That was right. Why kill those people?

Wouldn’t it be good to let them work non-stop and earn money for us?

The respect in their eyes when they looked at Mike intensified.

As expected, following the boss was the right thing to do.

“Then what should we do?”

One of the bandit leaders asked.

This was the crux of the question. Mike had naturally thought of an answer long ago.

“It’s very simple. When I kill the enemy, you guys can help me retrieve the spoils of war.

“Safe, easy, and very enjoyable!”

Hearing this, they all revealed excited expressions.

Retrieve the spoils of war?

Was that all?

This was too enjoyable!

What could be more enjoyable than picking up treasures?

“Of course, these spoils of war are mine and have nothing to do with you.

“After all, I fought the war, and I killed the people, so the spoils of war naturally all belong to me.

“Your salary will be paid by the king. Without these spoils of war, you can still live well.

“Of course, if you want a share of the spoils of war, you can participate in the battle. It’s your choice.”

Hearing this, the bandit leaders revealed greedy eyes.

The shirtless bald man took the lead and said,

“Isn’t it just a war? What’s there to be afraid of?

“With the boss around, what war can we not win? Us brothers have been bandits all our lives, and we have killed more people than chickens, what’s there to be afraid of?”

“Boss, in the future, I will kill whoever you want me to kill, and my men will be your men.”

“As for the spoils of war… just give me a small share like today.”

The shirtless bald man first said a bunch of loyal words, and finally made his “small request”.

Mike could obviously see through this small thought, and he would not reject it at all.

“No problem. I’ll pay a penny for every effort.”

“I’ll still eat the meat.

“But I won’t forget to give other brothers some soup.”

After receiving this answer, all the bandit leaders readily agreed.

The biggest benefit was naturally for the boss to take. They did not have any opinions on this, nor did they dare to have any opinions.

If they did not have a boss, they would not have received so many benefits.

Only then did they realize that their feelings for Mike were just as Mike had said.

Respect.

As long as they became soldiers, the civilians would treat them the same way in the future.

“In the future, we will not be thieves, but soldiers!”

“Hahaha, my Lightning Camp wants to be the vanguard. Let us kill the enemy first!”

“You wish. Of course, our Wild Wolf Camp will kill the enemy first!”

They had already started to fight for the position of the vanguard, but they did not know what it meant to be the vanguard.

They only felt that it would be more refreshing to rush over and be the first to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

Looking at the group of bandits arguing in front of him, Mike revealed a satisfied smile.

He, the commander, was finally no longer an empty shell.

From today on, he had established his own power.

Moreover, this power would gradually expand in the future!
