Under Raymond's silent and murderous gaze, the old half-elf knew that there was not much time left for him to think.
At this time, Raymond was like an insurmountable peak, pressing him down.
If they continue like this, the only thing waiting for them is the extinction of their race.
A moment later, the back of the old half-elf's cloth robe was almost soaked with sweat.
There is no doubt that the human youth in front of him undoubtedly has the terrifying ability to turn the tide and kill all of his own race!
Under heavy pressure, just when the old half-elf, who was almost out of breath, was about to lose heart, he saw his eyes light up and realized something again.
That's right! Since the opponent is so powerful, and his own race wants to save their lives and continue their bloodline.
Then, the answer is naturally very obvious.
Can't we just do that?
Although doing so will also face huge risks.
But after all, it gives his own race a chance to survive and even revitalize the race!
This is a gamble, betting on the future of their half-elf tribe and all the tribesmen!
Realizing this, the old half-elf did not hesitate, threw away his crutches, and knelt on one knee to Raymond tremblingly and said: "Respected Lord, I am the old Yuebai tribe leader Chuan Gu.
On behalf of our half-elf Yuebai tribe, I swear in the name of my bloodline that I am willing to sign a surrender contract with you and surrender to you for generations!
From now on, under your protection, we will share life and death, advance and retreat together!"
"Grandpa?!" Hearing this, the half-elf girl on the side couldn't stop trembling her long eyelashes, and her eyebrows were full of incredible colors.
The other half-elf warriors also looked at each other and opened their mouths.
There is no doubt that doing this is undoubtedly equivalent to handing the fate of their entire tribe to the hands of the human young man in front of them!
"Surrender contract?"
On the other side, Raymond was also a little surprised. According to the knowledge that flooded into his mind at the beginning, he clearly understood.
The essence of the surrender contract is no different from the master-slave contract that is automatically signed by summoning subordinates with a recruitment order.
It's just that the subject has changed from an individual to an entire tribe with the same bloodline.
Moreover, it is even worse than the master-slave contract.
After the surrender contract is successfully signed, every life form in the entire tribe, including descendants with the same bloodline.
will be automatically bound to the life of the lord himself, and cannot do anything that is not beneficial to the lord or the territory.
This means that once the lord dies, the entire tribe will be wiped out.
The most important thing is that this binding is one-way.
On the other hand, even if the entire tribe is destroyed, it will not have any impact on the lord as a conqueror.
In addition, if the lord needs it, he can also directly convert one or some individuals in the surrendered tribe into direct subordinates to serve him without consuming the recruitment order.
In short, once the surrender contract is successfully signed.
It means that Raymond has an ally who will never betray him, or in other words, an extra chess piece that can be abandoned at any time.
Moreover, as long as it is not converted into a direct subordinate, it will not occupy the population limit of the territory itself.
In other words, although signing a surrender contract is a hundred benefits for a lord, it is also extremely difficult.
It requires more than 99% of the tribe members of the same bloodline to agree to sign it successfully.
It can be imagined that if it is not a last resort or a very special situation, who would easily hand over their life and future to others?
It can be seen that when the old half-elf said this, the half-elf girl and other half-elf warriors had a great deal of shock in their hearts.
However, at this time, everyone also clearly understood.
If they do not completely dedicate their loyalty and everything to the human lord in front of them.
Then, what awaits them will undoubtedly be the scythe of the god of death.
Thinking of this, all the half-elf warriors present followed the old half-elf's footsteps and knelt on the ground.
Especially the half-elf girl named Baizhi, although she had thousands of grievances in her heart, she still bit her lips tightly and lowered her proud head to Raymond.
"Everyone get up, I agree."
Nodding slightly, although he looked calm on the surface, Raymond couldn't help but jump for joy in his heart.
How could he refuse such a good thing that came to his door?
With such a half-elf sworn to loyalty, his strength and safety have undoubtedly risen to a new level again!
"Please wait a moment, Lord. I will let all the tribesmen come out to see you. We will prepare for the contract ceremony immediately!"
On the other side, the old half-elf looked happy and ran out quickly.
Seeing this scene, Raymond was stunned, and then he looked at a look of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"My goodness, the old half-elf's cane is still on the ground."
...
Ten minutes later, Raymond stood calmly on the high platform next to the arched stone building. As for the fire in the village, it had already been easily put out by Chao Yan.
Beside him were four subordinates including Tiger Stick.
After Raymond's instruction, the four of them were in full force at this time.
Especially Tiger Stick, who was leaning on the giant sword with both hands, exuded extremely terrifying energy all over his body, making the air around him sticky.
Under the high platform, there were hundreds of unarmed half-elves. At a glance, they were densely packed, with men, women, young and old, all with a look of awe and uneasiness in their eyes.
"Everyone listen to me first."
At this time, the old half-elf who was leaning on the cane again walked to Raymond tremblingly and bowed to him respectfully.
He turned around and said to the other half-elves loudly: "Everyone, just last night, a fatal crisis suddenly fell on each of our heads. Those despicable orcs broke in with desire and killing, trying to seize my holy objects and completely destroy my tribe. At the moment of life and death, it was this brave and kind lord beside me who led his strong men to completely wipe out the enemy and help us survive this disaster. Therefore, as the patriarch, I have decided to sign a surrender contract with the lord to express our gratitude and respect for the lord!" Hearing this, the half-elves in the audience all began to look at each other. Because the age of half-elves is generally over 200 years old, they are relatively experienced. Therefore, except for some young half-elves who are naive. When seeing Raymond and others on the stage, most people have already understood the meaning of this. In addition to agreeing, they have no choice! At the same time, Raymond heard a long-lost reminder.
[Dear Lord, the Yuebai clan hopes to sign a surrender contract with you. Do you agree? ]
