Chapter 642 After Accepting Former Enemies
Chapter 642 After Accepting Former Enemies
"Understood, sir."
Qianming raised his hand and gently stroked the wound on his wrist, which had healed but still felt slightly hot.
Those were the marks left by the blood pact, and also the imprint of their new life.
"We will certainly not let you down."
Shunjue added, his gaze sweeping over the other four plant warriors in the living room: "We will prove our loyalty to you and the War Courtyard with our actions."
"Since you've all said so, I can rest assured."
Mo Chen turned around and looked at the courtyard view outside the window. His tone became deep: "However, there is something you need to understand. Accepting two former imperial soldiers does not mean that the hostility from the outside world will disappear."
Upon hearing this, Qianming and Shunjue's expressions also turned serious.
The empire will never let defectors like them go unpunished.
Whether they were former comrades-in-arms or the Purifiers who were specifically responsible for dealing with traitors, they would all regard Qianming and Shunjue as enemies who had to be killed.
The other residents of courtyard 5905 also need enough time to accept their presence.
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. In the modern world, this is not just an empty saying.
Mo Chen didn't finish his sentence, but Qian Ming and Shun Jue understood what their homeowner wanted to express.
"We will keep a low profile and try our best not to cause trouble for the courtyard."
"I will not let you down, sir."
Looking at the two people in front of him, a hint of approval flashed in Mo Chen's eyes.
These two former imperial soldiers have truly let go of the past and feel a sense of belonging to Courtyard 5905.
"Simmons, remember to go to the Community Tree later. Lady Wisdom Tree is waiting for you there."
Mo Chen has already told Xiao Da everything that just happened.
As the liaison for Courtyard 5905, Xiao Da said she had to have a good talk with Simmons, the former federal soldier.
"Yes, sir."
Simmons wore a pained expression, but didn't complain at all.
Adding a zombie spirit with a hidden identity to the courtyard is undoubtedly like dancing wildly on the sensitive spots of the plant spirits of the Tree of Wisdom.
The homeowner didn't intend to pursue the matter, but after causing such a commotion, the liaison officer wouldn't let the culprit off easily.
After giving the three a few more instructions and confirming that nothing had been forgotten, Mo Chen led the four plant spirit warriors away from the residence.
Mo Chen stopped walking after walking quite a distance, and was already some distance from the residence. He then turned to face the four plant spirit warriors following behind him.
"Everyone, what are your thoughts on my decision to add the zombie spirits to the courtyard?"
The eldest, Odin, spoke first. The old general had no objection to this: "As long as they don't harm our courtyard, I don't think it's a big deal."
"That's right, more strength means more security."
Himiko, who had once been a special forces instructor, nodded and said, "I can tell that those two lads are both skilled fighters. I heard they came from a reconnaissance unit."
"Sister, you guessed right. They can play a very important role in exploring the ruined city."
Mo Chen picked up the conversation, remembering the first day when Qianming and Shunjue awakened and chose their skills: "A pair of eyes that can see a thousand miles and a pair of ears that can hear the wind. As long as they cooperate well, they can unleash incredibly powerful abilities."
Ji Bing sheathed the Snow Burial Frost Feather: "If they are useful to the courtyard... I have no objection."
Amber gave a flawless smile: "Agreed. The potential troubles are nothing compared to their intrinsic value."
The four high-level combatants didn't have much of an opinion on their homeowner's decision.
With the world consciousness witnessing the blood oath, Qianming and Shunjue's loyalty was guaranteed. What they considered more was whether accepting the two zombie spirits would improve the overall strength of the courtyard.
Without a doubt, the answer is yes.
Qianming and Shunjue are both excellent scouts. They were able to survive for nearly a year in a dangerous abandoned city with a sniper, without any logistical support.
Such an outstanding resume is definitely a plus in the eyes of the plant spirit warriors.
Thermal vision and acoustic perception are also rare, top-tier reconnaissance skills.
Not to mention that they are high-level undead, able to command low-level zombies at will, which greatly reduces the danger of exploring the ruined city.
