Now that the choice has been made, there's nothing more to say.

As for the other leaders of the major mercenary groups, they had no objections. After all, apart from being a bit old, old Tony didn't have any other shortcomings.

Firstly, he held a certain status in everyone's hearts, and moreover, he was once a subordinate of the King of Mercenaries, so no one dared to gossip.

Secondly, Old Tony has always been fair and impartial in his dealings and would never show favoritism to anyone, which makes the other mercenary groups feel even more at ease.

"Don't worry, everyone. Now that I've chosen to be the leader of the alliance, I'll resign from my position in the mercenary group and hand it over to someone else."

Everyone understood what he meant, so there wasn't much of a reaction.

Whether Tony Jr. steps down or not, nobody will say anything, but by doing so, he is undoubtedly proving it through his actions.

Now that the candidates have been selected, the next step is to allocate them within the alliance.

This is the main event, since it involves everyone's own interests. Of course, once things have come to this point, there's no point in talking about sentimentality anymore.

When interests are involved, can you still have friends?

"Xiao, if you can perform well later, then do your best. I'm counting on you to bring me some good stuff." The captain looked at Luo Chen very seriously.

Luo Chen nodded silently, knowing in his heart that he was called here for a reason.

Besides, one's own tasks are more or less related to status and the group. Only with strong backing can one strike more effectively, right?

Think about it, the mercenaries Mu Shanhai and his group encountered all had a Grandmaster level. Who knows if more Grandmasters will come in the future?

Although Luo Chen was also a Grandmaster and could handle several opponents of the same level, he couldn't fight against so many opponents.

Unity is strength, and this is not just an empty phrase. History has proven that it is a powerful force capable of overturning the entire capitalist world.

"Understood, Commander. Don't worry, I have a talent for acting too." Luo Chen gave the commander a reassuring look, indicating that he would take care of everything.

Looking at Luo Chen, who was making a solemn vow, Jiang Xian'er behind him felt her admiration for him deepen once again.

Hmm... as long as Luo Chen stops scratching his toes so casually in the future, his image score will definitely not drop.

"Alright, everyone, now that the alliance is formed, let's quickly prepare for the next step, which is the distribution within the alliance." Jiang Tao is a very qualified vice leader; after all, he is very capable to manage Hope Town so well.

"I wonder how the Vice Alliance Leader intends to distribute the spoils?" Moto asked, standing up.

This is also the question everyone wants to ask. It can't be that after joining the alliance, I originally had ten percent of the benefits, but now I only have half.

Jiang Tao smiled, as if everything was under his control.

"I understand that everyone is concerned about this issue. The alliance is still in its infancy, but I believe it will be even better in the future."

"I've considered having the eight major mercenary groups take the lead, and then having the other small and medium-sized mercenary groups join them. What do you all think?"

This was truly a case of one stone stirring up a thousand waves; Jiang Tao had completely lost control of the situation.

The large mercenary groups didn't care, but the hundred or so leaders of the small and medium-sized mercenary groups present wouldn't stand for it.

Isn't this just sacrificing their interests in exchange for something?

Once they integrate, what good things can they expect?

"Mayor Jiang, this is not a good idea. If we continue like this, the entire regiment will probably be finished."

"I disagree. Only a fool would personally deliver meat into the tiger's mouth."

The regimental commander, however, appeared as composed as Yan Shuangying and did not utter a word.

Luo Chen's assessment of this can be summed up in four words: as steady as an old dog.

"Commander, aren't you worried?"

The leader shook his head, casually putting on his sunglasses, and said in a very calm tone, "The big shots haven't even spoken yet, what use are our words? You're all brainless. Now that the alliance is formed, you can't just back out, can you?"

Why can't I quit?

Suddenly, a large hooded head appeared from behind, and the adorable Jiang Xian'er squeezed through the gap between Luo Chen and the leader.

Hey lady, could you at least say something when you came out? It's really rude of you.

Jiang Xian'er wrinkled her little nose, her eyes filled with a fierce look, she looked like she was about to stretch out her claws.

"Get out of the way, you have no right to speak here." Luo Chen said in a low voice, cold and indifferent.

"No way!" Jiang Xian'er tilted her head back, looking like she was determined to fight you to the death.

"Xiao, how could you be so rude to a young girl?" The captain took off his sunglasses and glared angrily at Luo Chen, then turned to Jiang Xian'er and said, "Young girl, there are some things you don't understand. Some things are easy to enter, but difficult to leave."

"The same goes for this alliance. It's already been formed, and you can't back out even if you want to. Either you can get everyone to back out, or you have to obediently listen to them."

"Why? Can you force others?" Jiang Xian'er didn't understand at all. The alliance would eventually disintegrate.

Fortunately, Jiang Tao didn't know what his precious daughter was thinking, otherwise he would have really scolded her for not being his own child.

"Hehe, if that's really how you think, then dealing with things in this world would be much simpler."

"But unfortunately, that's not how the world works. If you step down, you're no longer part of the group, and everyone can bully you. Do you think anyone will protect you then?"

Luo Chen smiled slightly. The captain was telling the truth. If you don't have the strength, you have to listen to others. If you don't stop, you'll get beaten.

Even if one of the major mercenary groups chooses to withdraw now, it could be wiped out the very next day.

Unfortunately, one person's strength is always limited. Once a group is formed, it is no longer determined by the words of one person.

Unless, unless you alone can overthrow the entire alliance.

"That seems to be true. I still don't quite understand. Doesn't the alliance offer any benefits at all?" Jiang Xian'er's eyes were filled with blankness.

The leader seemed to answer all of Jiang Xian'er's questions and continued, "It's not without its benefits; the benefits are certainly significant, at least in the current situation. However, the benefits are not many for small and medium-sized mercenary groups. But now is not the time to consider these things, because the enemy is right in front of us. You can't just say, 'Let me reload before we continue fighting,' can you?"

"Hehehe, hahaha." Jiang Xian'er was amused by the leader's last sentence.

"Thank you, Uncle. There are some things I really don't understand."

"Young lady, you're too kind. Xiao, you should learn from her. Look how sensible she is."

Luo Chen tolerated it; he, as the leader of the regiment, really was a sarcastic and sarcastic person when he spoke.

"Xiao, did you hear that? Learn from me." Jiang Xian'er seemed to have forgotten the pain of her past wounds, patting Luo Chen's shoulder with joy.

Just as Luo Chen was about to teach Jiang Xian'er another lesson.

Suddenly, Luo Chen was stunned.

Good heavens, what kind of melodramatic plot is this?!

The words "Dreamer" were clearly written above Jiang Xian'er's head!
