Chapter 318: Mercenaries' Counterattack



Stormy sea!

On a small island not far from the Aie Mountains, a beam of fire suddenly appeared and shot up into the sky.

This was followed by a series of violent explosions.

A scarred dragon soared into the sky, flew into the clouds and disappeared.

Ten minutes later, waves began to appear on the sea, and a group of sea creatures hurriedly boarded the island.

Looking at the huge shell filled with dragon blood being knocked over in the cave and his compatriots who were seriously injured and wailing on the ground, the leading sixth-level Naga looked up at the sky and roared.

"This... is so much!"

Inside the military camp, Tester, Simmons and a number of the kingdom's military commanders were somewhat surprised at the dense crowd of adventurers behind Anno.

There are more than two thousand adventurers, among which there are more than three hundred with intermediate strength.

Tester's Blade Legion has only more than 5,000 people!

Simmons' Dawn Legion also has a size of 5,000 people.

In addition to the armies of the two princes, there were two more legions.

They are the Second Army and the Fourth Army of the Kingdom, both with a full strength of 5,000 people, led by nobles of level 35 respectively.

Except for their poor equipment, the adventurers can almost be considered half a legion - the army's standard equipment is better than that of most adventurers.

"Annuo, how did you get so many people here?"

At this time, Anno is the real body, and the Blood Wolf Knight is disguised as a shadow.

Liz and Ella followed Shadow.

Hearing Tester's question, Anno glanced at Simmons who was approaching and whispered, "Didn't we discuss that collective mission together?"

"I know. Although the merit points are more than before, even if we spent a higher price before, we still couldn't convince the mercenaries to fight the Demon King's army."

Tester couldn't believe it. He thought for a while before hesitating and said, "Could it be the title of [Monster Hunter]?"

"How much benefit does a [Monster Hunter] get?"

An Nuo shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific reason. But it seems that there is a tap water... adventurers from Valkham are frantically spreading the gains of the previous collective mission and the phrase 'If adventurers don't take risks, are they still adventurers?'

This attracted many adventurers. When we finally counted the number, we found that 2,500 people had signed up to participate!"

"This is really a great help. With so many people, I'm afraid they will have to clear out the entire treasury!"

Tester made a joke and laughed, "With them, we won't need too many soldiers to defend the forest. The freed-up troops can be used to reinforce the city's defenses and meet the enemy head-on!"

More than two thousand people is not a lot, but it is not a small number either.

As for Tester's suggestion to exchange all the treasury funds, that is not the case.

Any part of a monster that can be used as a means of hunting down a possession has great value.

Even if the merit points increase, it is still a profit after processing.

Adventurers may think they have made a small profit, but the royal family will never lose!

"Is this your Blade Legion?"

Anna turned around and looked at the soldiers lined up below, admiring them in his heart.

On the parade ground, several square formations were in neat alignment with several flags flying.

In the center of each flag, there are two crossed swords.

The largest number is the vanguard array composed of warriors and knights.

There are a total of three thousand people!

The rest were scout guerrillas composed of hunters and thieves, totaling more than a thousand people.

Then there is a group of 500 mages and a group of 500 priests.

A total of 5,500 people in the Blade Legion!

Five hundred of them were recruited by Tester during the competition, and they were all dispersed to serve as captains of small groups of ten or large groups of a hundred.

As for the soldiers' strength levels, eighty percent of them are low-level!

Actually, this is normal.

The mid-level ones are already the backbone on the battlefield.

The high-level troops entering the battlefield means that the war is about to reach its final stage.

Every high-level combat force is very valuable. If a high-level combat force is dispatched rashly without being properly deployed, it is likely to fall into a trap and die!

Tester said proudly, "Not bad, this time it's really all my assets, I can't afford to lose!"

The implication is that if the Blade Legion is destroyed again, it will be almost impossible for him to lead the army again.

These soldiers were all provided by the nobles, including those provided by Viscount Renault.

After returning from Valkham, Tester focused almost all his energy on the Blade Legion.

All kinds of training are aimed at preventing the destruction of the Tenth Army from happening again.

Coincidentally, the ones who attacked Warrengel this time were also the Undead.

"But we are in big trouble now!"

Tester pointed at the Dawn Legion next to the Blade Legion and said, "Can you see the difference?"

An Nuo looked around and frowned, "The strength... is far stronger than your Blade Legion!"

"As expected of you, you can see it at a glance!"

Tester clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, “Yesterday afternoon, the people of the Dawn Legion were actually worse than the sharp blades!

But when I came this morning, I found that they had changed people.”

"What's the meaning?"

"It's a mercenary!"

Tester lowered his voice and said, “According to my intelligence, last night a group of mercenary leaders approached Simmons and expressed their willingness to temporarily join the Dawn Legion to resist the Demon King’s army.

Six of the top ten mercenary groups in the royal city participated, and in addition there were dozens of other large and small mercenary groups, which sent a total of more than a thousand mid-level professionals!

At this time, the number of mid-level adventurers in the Dawn Mercenary Group reached 40%!

Nearly half of them are mid-level soldiers. This is already an elite corps lineup!"

"It looks like these mercenaries don't intend to be eliminated quietly!"

Anno looked at the Dawn Legion on the left and frowned.

The mercenary group was obviously forced into a corner by the Adventurer's Guild.

Since the guild is on the side of the third prince Test.

The mercenary group sided with the eldest prince Simmons.

The mercenaries sent people to join the Dawn Legion, firstly to wash away the label of mercenaries being cowardly; secondly, if the Adventurer's Guild sent out few people, they would turn around and slap the adventurers in the face; thirdly, to help Simmons and use Simmons to destroy the Adventurer's Guild.

As long as the Adventurer's Guild is not eliminated, the mercenaries will not be able to sleep well.

But with the support of Test’s guild, only Simmons can take action.

It can be said that the mercenaries were forced to place their hopes on Simmons.

They were counting on Simmons to make great contributions in Warrengel, suppress Tester, and destroy the Adventurer's Guild.

Moreover, among those participating in the finals, there are several fifth and sixth level mercenaries.

Once a mercenary wins a competition held by the Adventurer's Guild, the winning mercenary will 100% discard the adventurer nameplate in public on the day of the award ceremony and announce to everyone that he is a mercenary.

'The World's Number One' 'Adventurer Star' is a mercenary.

If something like this happened, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the guild's reputation.

That’s why Tester said that there is a big trouble now!

Simmons suddenly got the support of the mercenaries, and now he is in high spirits and walks with a breeze.

But when he saw that Annuo brought more than 2,000 people, the smile on Simmons' face faded a lot.

Although there are 2,500 adventurers, there are only more than 300 of them with intermediate strength.

But this is just an adventurer's guild!

The more than one thousand mercenaries he had were gathered from dozens of mercenary groups - each group provided anywhere from a dozen to several dozen mercenaries.

"President Anno, the legendary summoner, I am Simmons, the first heir to the kingdom!" Simmons walked over with a smile on his face and greeted Anno.

Of course he knew that Anno and Tester were in the same boat.

Simmons had not taken the Adventurer's Guild seriously before.

But now, as soon as Annuo called, more than two thousand adventurers immediately responded to the call to support the front line.

Hell, aren't there some affiliations between adventurers and guilds?

Why do so many adventurers listen to Anno?

In any case, in Simmons' heart, Anno's status at this time is comparable to the leaders of the top ten mercenary groups.

Therefore, Simmons also thought about winning over Annuo.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Great Prince!"

Anno clasped his fists and bowed to Simmons.

"I wonder if President An Nuo is interested in commanding an army? As long as you join my Dawn Legion, I can make an exception and let you become a deputy general directly!"

As soon as he got on the water, Simmons threw out a huge bait.

“President An Nuo, please don’t be so hasty to refuse. My Dawn Legion is much stronger than my third brother’s Blade Legion.

You may not know that half of the top leaders of the top ten mercenary groups in the royal city are on my side!

The Dawn Legion can definitely be called an elite legion!

The deputy general who commands a thousand men has an extremely high status.

It is basically impossible to grant this position to a civilian like you.

But now, as long as you agree, I will immediately promote you to deputy general!"

Simmons' tone was superior, in the orthodox aristocratic style.

When Test heard that Simmons wanted to recruit Anno, he immediately became unwilling.

He walked in front of Anno and glared at Simmons.

"Don't you look down on adventurers the most, brother? During the competition a while ago, there were people from your side causing trouble. Have you forgotten so quickly?"

"Third brother, with President An Nuo's ability, it is a waste for him to stay in the Blade Legion. Only in the Dawn Legion can President An Nuo's talents be fully utilized! An Nuo, what do you think?"

Simmons now doesn't take Tester's Blade Legion seriously at all.

He didn't take the 2,500 adventurers seriously either.

What he values ​​is Annuo's position as the president!

If Anno is recruited, it will be a huge blow to Tester.

"I really won't join the Blade Legion!"

Hearing Anno's words, Simmons' mouth corners began to rise, but soon he froze.

"I won't join the Dawn Legion either. I'm an adventurer, and I'll only go to the front lines to hunt monsters and help defend against the Demon King's army."

"snort!"

Simmons was fooled and snorted coldly.

"If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the wine for punishment. Just wait for me!"

Since Annuo is unwilling to submit to him, in order to inherit the throne and suppress Tester, Simmons will definitely destroy the Adventurer's Guild.

Looking at Simmons' back as he left angrily, Tester showed a trace of helplessness on his face.

"My brother is too concerned about his own gains and losses and ignores the overall situation. As a member of the royal family, he has become a prominent figure of the aristocracy. This is really not right!"

Tester took a deep breath and said, "But if my brother relies on the Dawn Legion to make great contributions on the front line this time, his support rate for becoming the next king will probably crush mine."

After all, he had already lost a battle in Valkham!

Anno fell silent.

He felt that since the opponent this time was the Lich King, one of the seven demon generals, the course of the war would definitely not be easy.

"I think there are people guarding Warrengel now who can fight against the Lich King. I just don't know if they are the eighth-level strong men who protect the kingdom, or the strong men sent by the alliance to specifically target the Lich King!"

Anno looked at the huge portal deep in the military camp that was beginning to glow blue, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

In any case, this war is the opportunity for Annuo to rise quickly that he has been waiting for!

The strength of the fourth level is no longer enough!

He wants to use this battle to break through to the fourth level!

"Asa and the others... must be so frustrated!"
