Chapter 627: I Regret Being King of the Mercenaries Part One (1/2)
With the death of the executive members of the three major mercenary clans, the death of their leaders, and the death toll reaching more than five hundred soldiers, some of the members of the alliance of the three mercenary clans threw down their guns and surrendered.
The Continental Mercenaries thought that they had won the fight, and they even wanted to take out the surrendering soldiers of the three major mercenaries clans. At this time, Xu Cheng was ready to take action against them for refusing to put down their guns, but Kush interrupted them, “Show mercy!”
None of the Continental Mercenary Corps members understood.
Kush was then placed in a wheelchair and as he was pushed to the center of the two armies, he told his men. “Put down your guns.”
The members of the Continental Mercenaries thought they had heard wrong, and one by one, they hesitated.
“I told you to put down your guns!” Kush said in a deep voice. He coughed, since talking had stretched his wound. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, “Let them go, just let them go. Give them freedom and no slavery, and I promise, the Continental Mercenaries will be disbanded from now on.”
“Boss!” A bunch of people were yelling, “What are we resisting for?”
“So we can eat and survive!” Kush looked at his subordinates. “To not be exploited. Even if we rule the land here, so what? There’s nothing we can do to change the landscape of the Land of Mercenaries, so what’s the difference between us and the gang that ruled in the past?”
“So they can change the landscape?” the members pointed at Xu Cheng and snapped.
Xu Cheng looked at them and said, “How do you know you can’t if you don’t try? I won’t object if you guys want to resist; since more than five hundred of you have already died anyway, I don’t mind killing another hundred of you!”
Having said that, Xu Cheng raised his hand and said to those mercenaries of the three major mercenary clans, “Kill them, and you will be of use to us.”
