Chapter 235: Bluff, and then fill in the fierce general
"Cyrus, do you feel that you have not yet repaid King Liku's great kindness to you, so you think that leaving like this is a heartless and ungrateful act?" Lu Kai asked at this time.
Cyrus looked at Luke with disbelief. He really didn't expect that Luke understood him so well. If this is not a confidant, then what else could be a confidant?
Lu Kai continued, “I can assure you that after you join the Iron Army, if Dressrosa encounters a situation like today or King Riku needs help, I will immediately send you back.
"I will even let the entire Iron Army support you. This is the best way for you to repay King Liku.
"King Liku, what do you think?" Lu Kai asked King Liku who was standing beside him.
King Liku also saw that Luke was determined to take Cyrus away, so he just went along with it and said, "Cyrus, Lieutenant General Luke is right. If you really want to repay your gratitude, this is your best choice. How can you repay your gratitude by staying in the arena?"
The balance in Cyrus' heart had shifted, but he still lowered his head and whispered: "Lieutenant General Lukai, I am a murderer..."
Although he is already 19 years old, Cyrus' character is surprisingly simple. He is just strong and loyal, but he is still very immature in other aspects.
Lu Kai seemed to be a little impatient, and asked sternly: "Cyrus, let me ask you, do you know you are wrong?"
Cyrus was stunned when he heard this, and quickly nodded and said, "I already know my mistake!"
Lu Kai continued to ask: "Will you commit the same mistake again in the future?"
"Absolutely not!" Cyrus said firmly.
"Then why are you still hesitating?" Luke said unhappily, "The pirates dared to attack Dressrosa today, who knows what they will dare to do tomorrow.
"Do you know how many innocent people have died at the hands of pirates? How could you bear to watch all this happen?"
"Don't you want to atone for your sins? Why don't you use this heart to help more people in need? Then, let alone atonement, it won't be an exaggeration to say that you have done a great deed. What are you hesitating about?"
Cyrus is just simple, not stupid. He can feel Luke's genuine admiration for him, so he doesn't want to disappoint Luke.
Seeing that Luke seemed to have lost his patience and was a little unhappy, Cyrus knew that it would be ungrateful if he didn't agree.
But over the years he has been hated as a murderer, so he is still very afraid to leave the arena, so he is extremely embarrassed.
At this time, Cherno suddenly stepped forward and asked Cyrus enthusiastically: "Brother Cyrus, I just saw you swing a sword from a distance that was very powerful. Can you teach me? We are colleagues from now on, so you can't hide anything."
Su Luo also hurriedly said: "Brother Cyrus, I was just about to ask you for advice. We will fight side by side in the future. How about we find a place where there is no one and you can give us some advice?"
"Let's go!" Sabin couldn't help but say, "I'm the first one, don't snatch it from me!"
As the three men spoke, they dragged Cyrus away without giving him a chance to react. Even little Caesar beside him was stunned.
But soon, Little Caesar nodded thoughtfully and chased after him with a smile full of gain.
Upon seeing this, Lu Kai immediately smiled with a look of success, leaving King Liku speechless.
I'm still standing here, can you please be more restrained?
After cleaning up the battlefield, Lucae did not stay here for long, but went out to sea again with the Iron Army. Cyrus was dragged onto the boat by Lucae's four disciples, and thus became a member of the Iron Army in a daze.
That is, Cyrus was only 19 years old. If he was already 3000 years old after winning 27 games, he would not be fooled so easily.
However, Lu Kai didn't care what Cyrus was thinking at the moment. He just wanted to bring him over first. As for Cyrus' ideological work, there would be plenty of time to do it later.
Moreover, as soon as Cyrus arrived, Luke gave him an important task and made him the captain of the newly formed Seventh Battalion. Martin, the former acting captain of the Seventh Battalion, continued to serve as his deputy to assist Cyrus in reorganizing the Seventh Battalion.
Martin had no objection to this and instead accepted it with pleasure. No one else had any objection either.
After all, Cyrus's strength is there, so why not? Sure, then follow the rules of the Iron Army. Whoever can defeat Cyrus will take the throne immediately. It all depends on whether you have the ability to do so.
The selection of the Iron Army is indeed very, very strict, and generally no one has any privileges.
However, those with special circumstances will be admitted as exceptions. For example, the current captain of the Fourth Battalion, 3001 Sato, is a person not included in the recruitment plan.
There are also Latilos and Adelman. Their ages do not meet the original recruitment standards at all and have long exceeded them. However, it would be really crazy not to let them join the Iron Army.
So rather than saying that the Iron Army's recruitment standards are strict, it is better to say that it is for the purpose of winning over the people. Those who are convinced by everyone will naturally have privileges.
Although recruiting Cyrus was a happy thing, the interrogation of the surviving pirates gave Luke a headache.
Because these people really suddenly fell into madness and wanted revenge at all costs, as if they had lost their minds.
The few pirates who came to their senses were trembling with fear after seeing Lu Kai, and they all said that they could not control themselves at all at that time, which almost led to a big mistake.
If those people were lying, Lu Kai could still deal with it, but they were all telling the truth, which surprised Lu Kai and he didn't know what was going on.
Two months passed like this, and Lu Kai heard a shocking news from within the navy - the Pirate King Roger was arrested.
However, this news has not been leaked yet, and currently only senior naval and government officials know about it.
Lu Kai naturally knew that Roger had surrendered himself. Even though he had known that things would develop this way, Lu Kai still felt sad in his heart.
This remarkable man who opened the Great Pirate Era with his own life, as a promoter of the era, had his own mission, and this was also a way for him to continue his will.
On the deck of the returning warship, Lu Kai was feeling the cold sea breeze, lost in thought. He admired Roger, but felt extremely regretful.
But when I thought about the fact that Roger had a terminal illness and didn't have much time left, I felt that this way of dying was really amazing.
"Boss, boss, your phone is ringing." A hurried sound of footsteps and shouts was heard.
A navy soldier in charge of communications ran up to Lu Kai and respectfully handed the Den Den Mushi to him.
"I'm Lu Kai!" Lu Kai picked up the Den Den Mushi and spoke.
"I'm Cyborg!" A hoarse voice came from the other side of the Den Den Mushi.
Before Lu Kai could reply, the voice on the other end continued, "Take the white anti-eavesdropping Den Den Mushi and go to a deserted place, immediately."
