Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2521

“We'll join you, Mr. Williams!”

“Please take us to Centuria's district! We can't live without meat.”

“We'll do anything you ask of us!”

Every single one of them swarmed Zeke in the blink of an eye.

The prospect of living in Centuria's district was more appealing than meat. No one could resist it, and that included the Decani.

The ten Decani were distraught.

What the hell? We went to great lengths to negotiate an alliance agreement and brought hundreds of members to crusade against Zeke, but they all switched sides before the fight started.

He didn't even need to lift a finger.

Is this even a war against him? No, we're just recruiting people for him!

It wasn't so dangerous as it was humiliating to them. It was utterly humiliating.

“To all the Decani except for Megahead, we're complete strangers, and I have no quarrel with any of you, right?” Zeke asked while they were still caught off guard.

Apollyon and a few Decani nodded.

Zeke continued, “Good. You didn't inflict bodily harm on me despite leading men in a fight against me. So I have nothing against you. You are always welcome to join me. Of course, if you do not wish to do so, you can keep your position as Decanus, and we'll coexist peacefully. I'll even help you out if you are ever in trouble in the future.”

The Decani smiled bitterly.

Indeed, we didn't do you any harm, but you have caused us harm. Our men have decided to follow you, leaving us without an army.

Keep our position as Decanus? What good is a Decanus position when we have no subordinates left?

They only had one option now, which was to follow Zeke.

Besides, according to Zeke, it wouldn't be the worst choice.

Their standard of living would improve, and meat would be part of their weekly diet. Not even Apollyon could indulge in a meat diet once a month.

Their lives would be changed for the better if they lived in Centuria's district.

Apollyon and the Decani shared a look, seemingly about to change their minds.

Megahead started to panic.

He had lost his army and would lose all hope if the Decani stood with Zeke.

If a few of them stayed with him, they might be able to rebuild their forces and crusade against Zeke.

Megahead begged, “Decani, don't believe Zeke's nonsense. He will never win against a Centurion and make it to Centuria's district. Besides, God was our witness when we signed the alliance agreement. Aren't you afraid of karma if you break your word?”

“You're putting us in a bind, Megahead. We're doing this for your good. It is a fulfillment of the alliance agreement as well,” said Apollyon.

Megahead was bewildered. “What? You're siding with my enemy. How is that for my good and fulfilling the alliance agreement?”

“You said that Zeke would lose to a Centurion, which means death. Don't worry. We will make sure Zeke's duel against a Centurion happens, and the Centurion will annihilate him. Isn't that granting your wish? We're helping you by indirectly getting rid of Zeke. That's helping you, no?” Apollyon answered.

I...

D*mn, they are sharp-witted. I'm at a loss for words right now.

Apollyon ignored Megahead and went toward Zeke. “Mr. Williams, we're here to pledge our allegiance. We promise to protect you and will follow all your orders unconditionally.”

“Okay.” Zeke gave a slight nod. “I appreciate your trust.”
