Chapter 18 The Choice Before the Statue

Feeling the vibration coming from the tip of his nose, the second-in-command broke out in a cold sweat on his bald head.

Since it wasn't the goblins who did it.

There's probably only one possible reason why that scarred face turned out this way.

This was not an outcome he wanted to accept.

At this moment,

The severely injured and unconscious Scarface coughed up blood.

The chaotic consciousness briefly regained its clarity.

He asked in a voice barely audible:

"Second-in-command..."

"Is that you, Second Boss?"

"I heard your voice..."

The excited bald man struggled to move his bound body, crawling closer like a caterpillar.

Even if the wounds on his body reopened, he didn't care at all.

Who told him to desperately need the latest intelligence?

"Hey! Scarface, I'm here."

"What exactly happened? Is the counterfeit store intact?"

The second-in-command asked anxiously,

This gave the barely breathing Scarface a glimmer of hope.

He rallied his spirits as if in a final burst of energy.

His gaze sharpened as he looked at the deputy chieftain.

With teary eyes, she accused him:

"Second Master, it's over, everything is over."

"After receiving your urgent message, the leader immediately organized elite brothers to raid the local gang's stronghold in town overnight."

"I want to get revenge while also rescuing you."

"The result, the result..."

Scarface's words were stuck in his throat.

His face suddenly flushed with excitement.

After spitting out another mouthful of blood, he continued:

"As it turned out, the enemy didn't even go out, and we were met with a full-scale counterattack."

"With a force several times smaller than ours, not only did our leader die on the battlefield, but our other brothers also suffered heavy casualties."

"Only I escaped the lower city with a few brothers."

The scarred man, filled with grief and anger, wore a pained expression, even though they had fled the town.

But in the subsequent pursuit,

One by one, his companions died before his eyes.

Having clearly heard what had happened, the second-in-command looked ashamed.

The bound body instinctively clenched its fists.

Looking at his scarred face, which was vomiting blood uncontrollably, he apologized with deep remorse:

"I'm sorry, brother."

"It was all my fault for being too clever and sending out the wrong intelligence, which led to the tragic deaths of the leader and the other brothers."

"This is a disgrace to the blood oath we swore."

Hawkeye, standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, it's all the second-in-command's fault."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have been captured by the goblins, and we almost became sows to be impregnated."

"Don't you think so, you blind man?"

The blind man, completely bewildered, looked at Hawkeye's sign language.

With teary eyes, she echoed:

"Yeah~, if the second-in-command hadn't thrown me out, I wouldn't have lost my QQ account."

"Now I can't even be a man anymore."

"How will I be able to meet with Miss Nightingale in secret after this?"

"Should I have her stand behind me and do the output?"

The blind man beat his chest and stamped his feet, weeping uncontrollably.

They blamed all the responsibility on the second-in-command.

The bald man was speechless with anger, and he started cursing under his breath.

I'm ready to have a good talk with them.

See if it's entirely your responsibility.

"That's enough. It doesn't matter whose fault it is."

The scarred man, clutching his wound, stopped the three arguing in time.

His serious expression was like that of a cold winter month.

The heavy atmosphere returned immediately.

He looked around and took a deep breath:

"The head of the household should not be blaming each other and wallowing in self-pity,"

"How about..."

"Not as good as what?" the second-in-command asked in a deep voice, holding his breath.

I want to hear from this dying man.

What inspiring last words will he utter?

"Why don't we do something productive and pay this month's wages in advance?"

"After all, the chief is now dead, so you, the second-in-command, are now the leader of the stronghold."

"I want to die clutching a gold coin."

Scarface looked at the second-in-command with great sincerity.

His eyes gleamed with a thirst for money.

This change in him made the bald man unable to contain his restlessness any longer.

Even when bound,

He also launched a flying kick, accurately striking his opponent in the stomach, while roaring as he did so:

"Damn it, what time is it, and you're still thinking about handing out money?"

Did it fall into the coin stack?

"Hmm? Answer me, did it fall into the coin stack?"

Hawkeye and the blind man exchanged a glance, then hopped and skipped over to join the beating.

"The second-in-command is right this time."

"You're in this state and you're still thinking about money, that's really despicable."

"Shouldn't you be discussing revenge with us?"

Although the hard-of-hearing blind man couldn't hear clearly...

But he took over the conversation on his own:

"Hmph, tell me, are you mocking me for not having QQ?"

"Are you saying I'm not a man?"

The trio's beating seemed to be hastening Scarface's death.

In reality, however, they are just stalling for time.

Because Scarface possesses a valuable passive skill,

That means that even when severely injured, you will be immune to death for 60 minutes.

During this period, attacking will continuously refresh the critically injured status, while not attacking or healing will result in death after 60 minutes.

This ability seems incredibly powerful, but it becomes useless because the person is too injured to move.

It has become the most useless ability in the world.

After all, a person lying there who doesn't die will only suffer endless torment.

The second-in-command, understanding this, was afraid that Scarface's passive skill would become ineffective.

So he took this opportunity to vent.

Incidentally, help refresh the opponent's critically injured status.

To avoid dying because you haven't been attacked within 60 minutes.

When the trio stopped moving, the second-in-command was panting heavily, covered in sweat.

He glanced at the scarred man trembling at his feet.

I've already made a decision in my heart.

Now, if they want to save their companion and exact revenge, they have no choice but to turn to these goblins.

Even with their medical skills,

How can you treat seriously wounded people when you haven't even healed your own buttock injury?

Thinking of this,

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in his mind.

The cute little monster seemed to have mentioned that dead goblins were resurrected by strange idols.

I wonder if this divine grace is real?

With a sliver of hope, the second-in-command promptly knelt before Dorothy.

This sudden action startled the other bandits.

"Husband, what are you doing?"

"Get up! Even though we're nobody, we can't submit to monsters!"

"Yeah, I'm still waiting for you to take over as the boss and give me my monthly salary."

The three of them spoke up to stop them.

But that couldn't dissuade the second-in-command's determination.

He didn't want to lose any more brothers because of his mistakes.

Dorothy, who had been watching the entire play, was sitting in a bamboo sedan chair eating the divinely bestowed cookies.

His cheeks puffed out like a hamster's.

Upon seeing the second-in-command's actions, a moment of stunned silence appeared on his adorable face.

"Oh? You idiot human, have you finally figured it out?"

Dorothy swallowed the cookie.

He jumped down from the bamboo sedan chair, carrying a buzzing stick.

The purple pupils narrowed slightly:

"Do you truly wish to become my subject and rescue your comrades?"

"Then go and pray sincerely to God the Father."

"Let's see if your sincerity can earn you a great blessing, Doro!"

Her voice echoed within the cave.

With an unquestionable air of authority,

It was as if it were announcing the beginning of a new era in this forest.

After the goblins untied the second-in-command and his men.

Apart from Scarface, who is severely injured and unable to move,

After a complex internal struggle, the other two finally decided to risk their lives to accompany him.

They all knelt and worshipped before the statue.
