Chapter 350 Settlemen (2/2)
Fernas looked at him coldly, shook his head, and said, ”If I don't leave… how are you going to replace me?”
Anger appeared in Herlous' eyes. ”Because of such a boring reason?”
”I actually really despise you. You have such strong powers, but you're fine with staying at the back lines. You are in no position to talk down to me.” Fernas' expression was indifferent. ”Now, you have displayed your strength and exposed your armor. The race will definitely search for you with all of their might—you cannot go back anymore.”
Herlous suddenly realized. ”You used me for your plan…”
”Don't think too highly of yourself!” Fernas' eyes were firm as he said coldly, ”Everyone has experienced a lot of things. Why would we change our mind because of a minor character like you? Leaving is for our own sake, just like the brothers who decided to stay. Even if us splitting up has made a negative impact, their foolish resolve to protect the race will not be shaken.
”I will say the same thing—only staying alive is important. I want the entire race to not have that extravagant wish of holding on. This meaningless struggle has to end—accept help from Godora willingly, and no one will have to bleed and fight anymore. All Sunils will gain a peaceful and stable life… This path is the true way to protect the race.”
Herlous opened his mouth, and Han Xiao's face appeared in his mind again. He had once told Fernas about the future of accepting help, but Fernas held onto his opinion and was not shaken at all. He felt it was the wrong foresight.
With nothing else to say, the Independence Faction left.
Herlous hesitated for quite some time, then gradually made up his mind. He left the forest and took large steps toward the defense ring.
The army was still reeling in shock from the split up. When they noticed that this mysterious armored warrior had appeared, they only remembered the order from above after being stunned for quite a while. They arranged their emotions, suppressed the loss in their heart, and prioritized the order to surround him.
In front of countless soldiers, Herlous took off his helmet slowly, glanced around exhausted both physically and spiritually, and took a deep breath. ”My name is Herlous…”
…
To the entire Sunil race, this Catastrophe was full of twists and turns. The guardians split up after the battle, but the legendary Commander Class armor appeared again when the hidden grade B Super called Herlous stood up to protect the race. After a few days in his new role, the media spread Herlous' experience all over, building him up as a hero that stood out in the time of need. It was also reported that the research lab would receive more funding after receiving the Commander Class armor, hoping that the race would one day get back the technology of the Commander Class armor. Thus, they managed to use Herlous and their future plans to wash away the impact from the mass desertion.
With the army and the leaders working together to spread the word, Herlous' name was known everywhere, gradually becoming a new role model for the race.
The Sunils settled the hiring reward, and the mercenaries left one after another. During the times of fighting alongside each other, Han Xiao had come to know quite many peers. They had quite pleasant conversations, and the other mercenaries had a very good impression on the Black Star Mercenary Group, which had suffered zero loss, showing their friendliness.
Mercenaries liked to know people in the same industry. After all, they might one day fight alongside each other one day.
The players returned, and the Sunil military expressed their thanks to the Black Star Mercenary Group before giving out the reward. Every player receiver 12,000 Enas, largely increasing their purchasing power. As the leader, Han Xiao received the same amount as well, and along with the job of Battlefield Repairs, the Great Mechanic Han made 16,000 Enas this time, about enough to buy more class advancement knowledge.
