Chapter 482 Disarming
He gasped and finished this big speech, which almost consumed his remaining vitality. During this period, several knights wanted to speak, but they were stopped by his gestures.
"Your Excellency, we are with you!"
"We will never leave you, woo..."
"Please, let go of our regiment leader, let's leave the war prisoners..."
Five knights begged Aken, who thought the little man was their leader.
Aken looked at Zhang Fan, "In the Middle Ages, prisoners of war can be exchanged for huge ransoms. These knights are all rich. As long as they don't live up to their promise, there should be no problem."
Zhang Fan looked at the fierce king. This giant was not from his own team and had no right to order him. The fierce king shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm just a helper. You can do whatever you want. Don't consider my opinion."
Zhang Fan thought for a moment and asked the great knight Rogge, "Are you sure you won't resist?"
"In the name of the knight." Rogge hissed.
Zhang Fan turned his head and said to the other knights, "If you don't resist, I can consider treating your commander first. He won't support this situation for long.
"In the name of knights, we will never resist!" Five hospital knights swore immediately.
The great knight Rogge suffered a penetrating injury. Although it was very serious and had pierced his lungs, it was the easiest to treat for Zhang Fan in the scene. After using the blue emergency medicine and healing with Dharma Shinto, the great knight Rogge can sit up and talk.
"Please consider my proposal to leave me as a combat prisoner and let these poor children go back to their hometown. They also have their own wife and children, and the young man is not married yet. I promise that you can get a lot of ransom. I, Rogge, still have some savings. I can write a letter and let these young men take it back. You will definitely get this large amount of money. If you want, my castle in Frank can also belong to you..." Rogge continued his earnest words.
"We are willing to stay in exchange for the freedom of the commander, and we can pay a ransom consistent with his identity..." The knights pleaded with Zhang Fan.
"I don't think you are a Muslim, nor are your companions. The honor of Saladin's army is not very important to you. Why don't you let us go and get the wealth you can enjoy for the rest of your life? With all due respect, the life of mercenaries is not fun. The war between Christianity and Muslims is not meaningful for you to participate..." Rogge seemed to be easy to talk to Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan thought, "Your Excellency, the friendship between your colleagues is very touching, but please believe that money and wealth are not what we need. Your conditions make me very embarrassed..."
Aken nodded and glanced at the green wing. Although the latter did not know what Zhang Fan was thinking, Zhang Fan's behavior seemed to be very different from before. Now he has learned to bargain, and it seems that the means are quite skillful. In the past, you may have let them go as soon as your brains are hot.
Roger thought for a moment and said, "I think your medical skills are very good. The predecessor of the Knights of our hospital is a medical and nursing order to treat the wounded on the battlefield. If you want... I can be an introducer..."
"Are you asking us to surrender?" Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Don't forget, you are prisoners of war."
"No, you misunderstood me." Rogge waved his hand quickly, "My recommendation allows you to make a free choice. Even if you used to be an enemy of Christianity, you can join my Order or our army at any time without pursuing your past behavior. Even if you don't want to join our camp, as a friend of the Hospital Knights, you can freely enter and leave our country without being harmed. The choice is up to you. Of course, your partners and followers have the same rights. Even after you treat our crusaders, you can get corresponding rewards from our crusaders, which is unique to you and an additional right of our hospital knights. You see, this does not affect your achievements in the Arab camp.
Zhang Fan was moved when he heard it. Isn't this the identity skill of the 'Red Cross' mentioned by Patiguli?! I didn't expect that it could be obtained directly in the scene! However, it seems to be limited to the Christian camp. That's also very good, because the Christian camp is almost the whole ancient Europe open to itself.
Zhang Fan glanced at Aken, and the latter nodded, so he thought for a moment and said, "In addition to this, I must let you leave your cross swords. I know it is difficult for you, but it is still insignificant for the lives of your six noble knights. In return, I can treat your injuries and protect you from leaving safely.
"The cross sword is our life!" A knight shouted, "This is the proof of our knight's oath. It's a proof of our faith!"
Aken stood up, "Then you must leave your lives!"
Zhang Fan waved his hand and sighed, "No, I don't want to take your faith, because I also have my faith. I don't want to take your lives at will, because I also have life. If so, then fight with me! You, Rogge, if you kill me, you will all be free. If you are killed by me, at least your companions will be free. Before that, I must do my duty as a doctor..."
After Zhang Fan finished speaking, he came forward to help the five knights treat their injuries. Soon, these hospital knights stood up wildly. Zhang Fan asked his teammates to return their swords and waited for the reply of the great knight Rogge. The knights were speechless. Under such an advantageous situation, the other party chose to duel with his most powerful commander. Is his commander really ashamed to kill this benevolent opponent? If you don't kill him, how can you win the duel?
Roger pondered for a long time, sighed, held his sword in both hands, and said to Zhang Fan, "I am indeed your prisoner. Capturing my sword is your power. If I fight with you, it is against the creed of knight's kindness. It's meaningless to keep this knight's sword. But I can only decide the fate of my knight sword. Their knight sword must be decided by themselves! In addition, I want to say that you are a respectable opponent, and your kindness is already worthy of this knight's sword.
Zhang Fan took the big cross sword, held it high in his hand and said, "You are free."
The other five knights looked at each other and took a step forward, inserted their swords in front of Zhang Fan, drew a cross on their chest, bowed and said, "We are already your prisoners and have been treated by you. If we fight with you again, it will be unkind and unrighteous. Even if you win, you can't get rid of the mark of the loser. Whether we win or lose, we have lost. God testified that you have defeated us, and this is the booty you deserve.
The fierce king standing aside took a deep breath. He and Patiguli calculated carefully and fought desperately to complete the task. Looking at Shi Fan, the soldier was captured six cross swords at one time, and one was the head of the hospital knight. I can't help but admire this luck and ability!
Aken stared at Zhang Fan for a long time, sighed, and fell into deep thinking.
Roger took out a badge of the Hospital Knights from his arms and handed it to Zhang Fan. This was his promise and naturally he would not go up to his promise.
Zhang Fan asked Aken to go outside to find out about the situation, take out supplies from the space, and let everyone have a full meal. And talked with the knights. Now with the approval of the head of the hospital knight, the boundaries of the camp have been blurred, the language barrier has disappeared, and everyone can have a free dialogue. The fierce king Alimu also informed the Apudu team of the situation here.
It was not until the evening that the scattered battle in Hardin Village ended. During this period, several searches by Arab soldiers were blocked by the fierce king Alimu. The six knights are very safe. It's just that the big knight Rogge is a little depressed. After all, most of his soldiers have died, and this defeat deprived the crusaders of the chance of final victory. Although he saved his life, he was still depressed.
