Chapter 645 Have You Heard of Ants Killing an Elephant?_1
Mo Shi glanced at Kylin and the others, and without beating around the bush, he got straight to the point,
"While we were dining in Luer City, we happened to overhear a conversation by the Fallen Angels. Tonight, not a hundred miles from here at one of their strongholds, they will send out fifteen Paladin Knights to assassinate you all!"
"Fifteen Paladin Knights?!" Kylin and the others exclaimed in shock.
Jiang Chen’s brow furrowed deeply, a hint of skepticism appearing on his face. Was it really such a coincidence? He had just sent them away to discuss dealing with the Fallen Angels when they happened to hear this news?
"Mr. Dragon King, we have not deceived you, nor do we have any reason to!"
Seeing Jiang Chen’s doubt, Mo Bao said soberly, "Allow me to be frank with you. Our joining Flame Dragon stems from three main reasons: first, we admire you for truly treating every member of Flame Dragon as a brother; second, the comradeship among the Flame Dragon brothers is something we envy; and third, when we grow old, we wish to retire in the Flame Dragon Kingdom."
Hearing Mo Bao’s words, everyone fell silent.
How dearly a mercenary longs for a peaceful place to retire in is something those who are not mercenaries simply cannot fathom. Everyone understood the sentiments of the three, all lifting their heads to look at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen looked deeply at Mo Bao and said lightly, "The brothers of Flame Dragon, whether they are from the Flame Dragon Kingdom or not, can retire there when they are old. Where I, Jiang Chen, am, there will definitely be a place for my brothers to live!"
An Long and the others smiled. They had never doubted this.
Kylin and his group gazed deeply at Jiang Chen. They could tell that Jiang Chen’s words came sincerely from the heart, and at the same time, they were acutely aware of the tremendous pressure that fulfilling such a promise would bring—pressure that was too great for all of them combined to bear.
"Mr. Dragon King, please allow us to join!" Mo Shi looked at Jiang Chen with hopeful eyes, while Mo Bao and Mo Hu both had faces full of eager anticipation.
