Zidi made a good calculation. Since she hit a wall with Sandao and the former mercenary group members, she simply recruited the leader directly.
As long as Mane agrees, even the three knives and these people will be used for the needle, and the best thing is that Zidi does not have to maintain the payment yet.
The "rabble" did not speak, only made eye contact.
Although it was only the first time they saw Needle, they knew that his identity was not simple just by looking at Wire's golden hair, handsome face, and tall posture.
To be honest, Zi Di's words also moved them.
The life of the mercenary group is hard, and they earn some living expenses by fighting hard, and the maintenance of weapons and equipment to survive. Even if there is some extra money, mercenaries often squander it on taverns, gambling, and men and women.
The competition between mercenary groups is also very fierce, most of the mercenaries die in a foreign land, and the few who can retire alive are dragging their disabled bodies and living in poverty in their later years.
If you follow a nobleman, get rid of the status of a mercenary, and become a regular army, no, even if you are an auxiliary soldier or a guard guarding the city gate, you will live a more stable life than as a mercenary.
Usually, they don't have this opportunity at all. But now they have fallen to the island, and by chance, the opportunity has appeared in front of them.
If you catch it, you may not only be protected, but you may also be able to get ahead and reach a higher level!
Sandao took a deep look at Zidi, thinking that the girl in front of him was really worthy of being the president of the Grand Chamber of Commerce, and he really couldn't despise her because of her age.
Although he personally disbanded the mercenary group, as the former leader, he still habitually envisioned the members.
Therefore, although Sandao had no interest in Zidi's solicitation, he did not immediately express his refusal.
He knew that once he refused, these former mercenary members would follow his decision.
Moreover, Sandao followed Mane for a relatively short time and did not understand Mane's thoughts.
So Sandao looked at Mange and said in a deep voice: "Master Mange, no matter what decision you make, I will follow you."
Mange sneered: "Hundred Needles Family? What is there to show off as a defeated Southern aristocrat identity? Templar? Can you beat me? And the position of the Lord of Baisha City, it needs to be campaigned, right? As far as I know, you should rush to Baisha City at this time. Because of this shipwreck, you have delayed the timing! What do you have to make you think you will definitely get this position?"
The mane is unruly, and he doesn't take the needle in his eyes at all.
What surprised Zidi even more was that Mange, a half-orc, seemed to know the situation at the top.
"It's not surprising to know that the city lord position requires a campaign. But even the delay time is understood......" Zidi immediately realized, "Mange's identity doesn't seem to be simple!"
Mange directly refused the solicitation.
Sandao and the former mercenary members around him naturally maintained their actions.
"According to Master Mange's strength, someone will recruit him wherever he goes!"
"We want to fight the orcs, so we don't have to worry about being useless."
"Hmph, just a half-orc, I really don't know what to do!" The cyanobacteria were very angry.
He came to Zhenjin's side and pointed at Mange: "Master Needle, he is the one who chases us all the way. Such people are extremely vicious, and leaving such a disaster is a threat to all of us!"
Sandao sneered: "Chase? It's not us, your silly big man and the old boatman are already dead."
Xi Suo snorted coldly, and he took a deep look at the place where Mange vomited blood. Then he said to Needle: "Master Needle, this lowly half-orc is seriously injured, this is a good time to eradicate him!"
"What did you say?"
"Damn guy!"
The former mercenary members were furious, and their palms rested on the hilt of their swords.
The atmosphere becomes more tense, and the battle seems to be about to break out.
"What? If you can't recruit it, do you want to use a killer? Is this what the Templars do?" Mane Ge spoke lightly, staring at the needle.
He was indeed injured, and he knew that the needle was the one who controlled the overall situation on the other side.
Needle shook his head slightly: "The goblin Sandao is right, it was indeed the mane that saved the old shipwright and the big man. This is indeed a fact."
"I am very sorry to reject my solicitation, but it does not make me think that this is an offense to my dignity."
"I am a Templar, and tolerance and kindness are part of my chivalrous creed. If I vent my anger on someone who only rejects my invitation, then I am not worthy of being a believer in the Holy Ming Emperor!"
"My ......" Cyanobacteria stood behind the gold and fainted slightly.
Needle's words calmed him down and eased the situation.
But just when Sandao and the others breathed a sigh of relief, Zhen Jin said again: "However, if you poison your companions and carry out ruthless hunting and persecution of innocent people, it is a different matter."
As he spoke, Needle's gaze was like a sharp sword, stabbing at the mane.
Mange frowned.
"Chase?" Someone next to Sandao laughed angrily, and he retorted loudly, "We didn't chase anyone at all. We just chase after the boatman and want to get the boatman back. Instead, it's you, you despicable villains who want to put us to death!"
These words immediately resonated strongly with others.
They reprimanded and roared one after another.
"You took the boatmen, and none of our remaining people will build sea ships. What other way can we survive?"
"You have been planning for a long time, plotting against us, Lord Mange."
"Has Master Mange failed you? He overthrew the shameless first mate for you, and even if he became a leader, he would fight on the front line and take the lead! The camp was mysteriously attacked, and in order to protect you, he used to guard the camp day and night, almost sleepless! How did you treat Lord Mange?"
"You don't have the slightest respect for Master Mane at all. The words on his lips will always be a half-orc, a half-orc!"
"But in fact, it was the orcs who saved you. You pure-blooded humans are not grateful at all, but will repay your kindness!"
"That's right, this is naked, naked, naked betrayal!"
Needle Jin's brows also furrowed tightly.
"Is this true? Except for the shipwright, no one can build a sea ship?" He looked at Xi Suo.
Carefully looked at the eyes, hesitated, and did not respond.
"I'm afraid yes, master." As a sailor, cyanobacteria still have some understanding of the crew, "The structure of the sea ship is unusual because it has to fight against wind and waves and resist the sneak attack of the fishmen on the seabed. He was once a senior member of the Shipbuilders Guild, and his greatest wish in life was to build a superior sea ship of his own."
Needle fell into a deep ponder for a while.
Mange's eyes have been fixed on the needle, and now he spoke again: "Needle, you are a dignified Templar. "Do you think that when we learn that we have been abandoned and that the only shipwright who can build a sea ship has been taken away, is it too much for us to chase them out?"
The pressure was immediately transferred to Zhen Jin, Mane's words were consistent with his brave fighting style, and he directly forced Zhen Jin into a corner.
Needle raised his head slightly, his eyes calmly met Mange: "Your choice is indeed reasonable."
As soon as these words came out, the silly big man, Xi Suo and others all became slightly agitated.
"My lord." Zi Di came to Zhen Jin and couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.
Needle turned his head and smiled slightly at his fiancée, signaling the latter to feel at ease.
Then, with the hilt of the silver electric sword in his left hand, he paced out and stood between the two people.
He looked around, his body was straight, his head was slightly raised, and his golden hair shone brightly in the sunlight.
He said loudly, "As a Templar of One Life, I uphold the principles of justice and equity. I have not experienced anything that happened in the camp, I just listen to your story. But I am not without the ability to distinguish what is right and what is wrong."
"At the same time, I will not favor my own race because of my identity as a human race, nor will I despise others because of my status as an orc, half-elf, or goblin."
"There was a shipwreck, and we fell to this island together. We must unite and help each other, and only by doing so can we expand the possibility of escape."
"It is wrong to sneak away with the boatman, and it is quite selfish to abandon your companions."
"Lord Knight!" When Xi Suo heard this, he immediately shouted, his face full of anger, and the eyes of the crew behind him looking at Zhen Jin were no longer as kind and respectful as before.
"You don't understand!" Carefully pointed at the mane, his voice trembling with anger, "It was he who killed my father!"
Zhen Jin nodded and looked at him: "I have heard about this, and I understand your feelings very well. But...... What about the evidence?"
Xi Suo immediately said: "My father has wounds on his body, which are wounds caused by spears and spears. As long as the twin spears of the mane are taken out and the wound is verified, it is the best evidence!"
Needle looked at Mane.
Mane Ge folded his arms on his chest, raised his chin slightly, and looked down on Xi Suo and the others: "How can my war spear be moved lightly?"
"Look, Master Needle!" He shouted, pointed at the mane, and glared at the needle, "He has a guilty conscience! He didn't dare to verify! What else is there to say?"
Needle stared at Mane.
Although it was only the first time they met, Mane was impressed by Needle's bravery and toughness.
The pair of short spears carried on the back of the mane are of excellent quality just by looking at them with the naked eye.
But in the face of the charge of the silver rhinoceros, Mane Ge did not use this pair of short spears even at the cost of serious injuries.
"Is there any unspeakable secret?"
Needle guessed in his heart, and at the same time looked at Xi Suo: "Do you have any other evidence?"
Xiasuo's eyes widened and he looked at Jin in disbelief: "What evidence do you need? Mane's attitude is the best proof! He didn't dare to verify it at all, because he was the murderer of my father. I admit that he is very strong, but it is precisely in this way that he can assassinate my father!"
Needle shook his head slightly: "Mane Ge doesn't want to do verification, that's his business. Before there is conclusive evidence, we can doubt and try to prove it, but we should not slander it. In fact, even if the wound is consistent with Mane's war spear, it is not conclusive evidence. Because wounds can also be faked."
Xi Suo couldn't help but take a step back, his face was full of misery, and he asked loudly: "My lord, would you rather believe in a half-orc than in your own kind?!"
