Chapter: 5133
Lei Chen asked again: "Have you all considered it? Are you willing to be enemies with the White Lotus Society?"
Everyone shouted again: "Agreed!"
Lei Chen nodded slightly, saying calmly: "Before I came, I had already reached a cooperation agreement with all the Iron Cavalry Guards. Until the Clear Dawn Society is eliminated, they will obey me and be loyal to me. After it's eliminated, they can gain true freedom! Since you're willing to be loyal to me, this cooperation will benefit you as well! The day the Clear Dawn Society is eradicated will be the time for you, these heroes, to regain your freedom!"
Hearing that they could regain their freedom, all the heroes were moved to tears.
They had originally thought that Lei Chen was giving them a condition to be cured, which meant they would have to serve him for life.
However, even if it was like this, they would still answer without hesitation because by doing so, although they would have to serve Lei Chen for a lifetime, their children and grandchildren could finally be free from looking up to anyone's face and become truly free individuals.
Sacrificing one generation to seek freedom for future generations is, of course, without hesitation.
But what they didn't expect was that Lei Chen wasn't planning to take control of them in this opportunity.
This also means that not only their children and grandchildren can have freedom, but they themselves can too after the Clear Dawn Society is eliminated!
Lei Chen's behavior has a striking contrast with the Clear Dawn Society's centuries-long control over heroes like them.
Therefore, everyone almost regarded Lei Chen as a savior.
As people saw everyone's genuine loyalty, Lei Chen allowed someone to distribute the prepared antidote.
At this time, over three thousand people were still kneeling on the ground, devoutly waiting for the antidote.
Each person respectfully held their hands above their heads, waiting for the antidote to be handed to them, and then used both hands to take the pill.
However, they didn't immediately swallow the antidote. Instead, they unconsciously waited until everyone else had received the antidote before taking it with the people around them.
The scene was plunged into silence once again, as deathly.
Ten seconds later, the sound of sobbing voices filled the air.
That was because some people were overwhelmed and couldn't control their emotions, forcing them to the ground to suppress their sobs.
Soon someone else lost control and wailed loudly.
Some people even knelt on the ground, shouting at the top of their lungs: "Ancestors in heaven, have you seen us?! We've finally escaped the Clear Dawn Society's toxins! You must certainly bless us and help Mr. Lei eradicate the Clear Dawn Society to avenge our ancestors!"
"This speech immediately sparked a resonance among everyone, and they all began to kneel on the ground, silently praying to their ancestors."
"Leaf Chen watched this scene, feeling deeply sympathetic: 'These men have gone beyond mere endurance, tolerating two or three hundred years of humiliation and bearing the weight of ten generations! After promising them freedom today, I believe they will certainly become the most loyal troops to destroy the Clear Dawn Society in the future!'"
"..."
"Everyone, I'm truly sorry because recently I unfortunately got sick and my symptoms are quite severe, bedridden for several days and unable to get up. Today I finally feel better, but my cough is still very bad, and my throat hurts so much that it's hard to describe. I will do my best to recover my physical health and update you all, and I hope everyone can take care of themselves!"
"After all the dead men have succeeded in detoxification and their emotions gradually calm down, Leaf Chen walked down the stone steps and arrived on the platform." JrNovels.com
