Chapter 155 People are worse than dogs
"You chose your own path. What's the point of saying so much?" The Sword Hero's mind once again reappeared the unbearable scene - due to the temptation of power, his crotch was actually sealed! This humiliating memory surged into his heart like a tide, making him furious. He pushed the Fire Hero to the ground with a sudden force, and then left the room without looking back.
In the empty room, only the Fire Warrior was left kneeling on the ground, praying devoutly to the goddess: "Goddess, please forgive our mistakes! Save us!" However, no matter how he shouted, there was no response. The Fire Warrior only covered his crotch in pain and made miserable cries.
On the other side, Zhang Wei returned to the room and asked Feng Ji if he had any plan. Feng Ji was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Sir, the current situation is indeed unfavorable to us, but as the saying goes, 'Don't forget your original intention, and you will succeed.'" Feng Ji persuaded Zhang Wei earnestly.
Zhang Wei fell into deep thought, and after a while he suddenly realized: "Sir, do you mean that I should not associate with them?"
Feng Ji nodded and continued, "Back then, our lord Yuan Shao came from a prominent family. Four generations of the Yuan family were among the three highest officials. How glorious it was! At that time, our lord was young and promising, full of vigor and vitality. He was promoted to the rank of general, and was granted the imperial seal and a hundred brave tiger guards by the court, and was in charge of the four prefectures. But looking back now, it is precisely because he forgot his original ambition that he ended up like this."
Feng Ji's words reminded Zhang Wei of Yuan Shao's glory and honor in history, and at the same time, he deeply realized the tragic consequences of violating his original intention. He secretly made up his mind to remember the lesson and never follow Yuan Shao's old path.
"Mr. Feng, please be careful with your words. As a subject, you should not criticize your lord behind his back." Yan Liang reminded Feng Ji with a serious face, warning him not to talk about his lord's right and wrong easily.
However, Feng Ji responded disapprovingly: "General, you must remember that although the lord we are loyal to is still Yuan Shao, this Yuan Shao is no longer the same Yuan Shao. As a subject, you should do your best and be loyal."
Hearing this, Wen Chou could not help but stand up for Yan Liang and say, "Lord Zhang is not our lord. Could it be that Mr. Feng has made a mistake in the object of his loyalty?" He questioned Feng Ji's point of view and felt that Feng Ji seemed to have used his loyalty in the wrong place.
Feng Ji did not show any weakness and immediately retorted: "As a minister, I should serve Mr. Zhang wholeheartedly. The lord has ordered the three of us to serve Mr. Zhang. How dare we slack off in the slightest?" He emphasized that he would absolutely obey the lord's orders and said that he would do his best to serve Mr. Zhang.
After this debate, Wen Chou also remained silent. Zhang Wei, who had not expressed his opinion, silently observed everything. He knew very well that since Yan Liang and Wen Chou followed him, their relationship was not as close as that of a monarch and his subjects. It was more like they were carrying out a limited escort mission. At this moment, Feng Ji stood up to unify everyone's thoughts, and Zhang Wei was happy to see this situation.
Zhang Wei accepted Feng Ji's opinion without hesitation, and without even saying goodbye to Sister Cheng, he led everyone straight to the western city of Newt. When Sister Cheng learned where Zhang Wei and his four companions were going, she did not send anyone to stop them. Instead, she was carefully preparing a shocking surprise.
After arriving in Newt City, Zhang Wei couldn't wait to inform the Holy Hero Kase Yuko, the Bow Hero Toni and the Pastor Jiang Yuan that the Sword Hero and the Fire Hero were controlled by the Blood Moon Cult. However, what Zhang Wei didn't expect was that the reactions of these three were unusually calm, which was completely beyond his expectations.
"Why did you ask me to save them?" Zhang Wei asked in confusion. He really couldn't understand why they were so calm.
Toni, the Archer, replied softly, "Because we know in our hearts that there is nothing you can do."
Zhang Wei's eyes widened, and he asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
Toni continued to explain, "In fact, we had expected this to happen, so I secretly captured a member of the Blood Moon Cult, but even Yuko herself could not remove the restrictions on her. Later, I used my identity as the acting city lord to obtain the top magic scrolls and magic props through the black market and auction house, but it still didn't help."
Hearing this, Zhang Wei suddenly realized, but a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.
Faced with such a powerful enemy and difficult restrictions, he felt unprecedented pressure.
"What we are more curious about is that since the Blood Moon Cult possesses such powerful strength and ability, it can easily control the entire country and even the world, but why haven't they taken any action? Is it because of you?" The Bow Hero Toni finally couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Wei was silent for a moment, then slowly replied: "They really hope that I can join their camp. If I nod and agree, then they will obey my orders."
Zhang Wei showed a bitter and helpless smile on his face and added: "But I still can't accept being with them."
The Archer Toni was very confused and puzzled that Zhang Wei actually rejected the olive branch extended by the Blood Moon Cult, and asked: "Then what exactly made you make such a decision?" Zhang Wei shook his head and said that he couldn't explain it clearly, but deep down in his heart he instinctively didn't want to associate with these people.
As if he was talking about someone else's story, Zhang Wei calmly narrated: "Maybe, it may just be due to differences in personal ideas and values, there is nothing special about it."
After hearing this, Toni's mouth corners slightly raised, and she said with a hint of sarcasm: "I really didn't expect that you are such a noble and holy person." However, this sentence contains more admiration for Zhang Wei's firm stance.
"Don't say that. I'm not a saint." Zhang Wei quickly waved his hands to deny it. He never thought he had noble character or extraordinary qualities. "It's just that the goals and interests of both sides conflict." Zhang Wei explained in a matter-of-fact manner.
Toni then continued to ask: "So how do you plan to deal with the current situation next?" Zhang Wei pondered for a moment and replied: "Let's observe for a while and see how the situation develops and changes before making a decision." After that, he sighed deeply, as if his heart was full of worries and troubles.
A few months later, one day someone came to report that an army was approaching from the south and was carrying documents issued by the Korno Fortress. Upon hearing the news, Zhang Wei immediately led everyone out of the city to check the situation...
