Chapter 93: Army Training
The staff member softly gasped, he didn’t expect that the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps wasn’t registered yet.
But after reacting, he immediately helped the dragonman youngster fill in and submit the needed information.
A moment later, the staff member looked embarrassed, “Lord Long Fu, you didn’t fill out everything, even if your registration goes through, your group’s reputation won’t be high. Perhaps you are unaware that many missions not only require a certain mercenary corps level, but also look for reputation too. When the level is the same, mission providers value the reputation of mercenary corps more.”
“If it is convenient, please provide more information. So that during the verification process, your group will have a better reputation.” The staff member suggested.
The dragonman youngster shook his head with a smile, “Unnecessary, this will do.”
Thus, the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps was registered.
It was ranked one star, and its trust level was also one star, but the lowest level.
“Ridiculous.” The dragonman youngster stated to the Commander Beng Dai.
Commander Beng Dai smiled understandingly, he was more in the know than the staff member and was convinced more so that the dragonman youngster and his people were arms smugglers.
“Your group’s strength’s is here. Rank matters not. As long as you know success, all will realize that your group is at least four star level strength!” Commander Beng Dai said pleasantries while telling himself to be vigilant.
Mercenary work was an honest business.
But arms smugglers were different.
“These people are obviously criminals; we shouldn’t provoke them at all.”
After finishing registering, the dragonman youngster looked up at the magic panel above the front desk.
Like the Hunting Guild, the magic panel had rolling words that indicated all kinds of missions.
The dragonman youngster said to the staff, “When we paid a visit to the feudal lord, he let us know that in recent times, there have been some predator beast group cleansing missions.”
The clerk hurriedly replied, “That’s right, every year during the rising and falling of the islands, many predators are drawn in. If we don’t clean up these predators on time, if things go critical, a beast tide might be formed. Currently, there are quite a lot of these missions and the rewards for them are considerable.”
“I will let you take a look.”
The clerk manipulated the magic panel.
The panel’s script suddenly changed.
All the related missions appeared.
The service here was punctual.
Due to the dragonman youngster’s current strength and merits, such special treatment received no objections.
The dragonman youngster observed with rapt attention.
Commander Beng Dai smiled at the dragonman youngster.
The dragonman youngster quickly decided to take a shark group elimination mission.
The rewards for this mission was the most generous of its type.
The clerk did the paperwork at once.
After seeing this, Commander Beng Dai felt more relieved.
The truly profitable mercenary missions on Two Eyes Island were all from the five great merchant alliances. Such as merchandise escorting, bodyguard duty, looking for stolen property, and so on.
“When the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps arrived at Two Eyes Island, Hun Tong summoned them first while none of the five great merchant alliances have contacted them at all. They don’t have contacts here.” Commander Beng Dai considered to himself.
Outwardly however, he said to the dragonman youngster, “According to your group’s strength, this will be an easy mission.”
“It’s only an elimination mission and the reward is quite ample. That’s the new island.” Commander Beng Dai tossed out his experience in an expression of goodwill.
Before the new island rose, it had been submerged on the seafloor, and as it rose, there was many fish, magic beasts, and other animals still alive in it.
Generally, it was the feudal lord’s faction that would dispatch the army first to cull the remnants of these things on the new island. At the same time, it was an immense fish catch.
But if information on the new island was comparatively thorny, there was too much to do, or the feudal lord’s government was strained, it would issue pertinent missions to the Mercenary Guild.
The dragonman youngster chatted with the Commander Beng Dai for a bit before leaving.
He treasured time.
Thus, he didn’t want to waste it chatting.
As he walked towards the door, Yan Yi approached him.
“Two commanders, do you wish to know what the two potions in my hands are?” Yan Yi took out a sample of both as he gave a cajoling smile.
Zi Di, as a level seven elder, had given him an order.
Yan Yi was forced to comply and came to the Mercenary Guld to peddle the potions.
But he hadn’t done well.
No one wanted to buy them.
Beng Dai indifferently and skeptically gazed at Yan Yi.
Yan Yi was just a bronze level, and immediately felt the formidable pressure.
The dragonman youngster also waved his hand, gesturing to Yan Yi that he was leaving, then exited through the Hunting Guild’s door.
But Yan Yi didn’t give up, he clenched his teeth and ran after them, “Two commanders, these are no ordinary potions.”
“In my right hand is the Green Hat Healing Potion, it had a great medicinal effect while being quite cheap, a bottle of iron level potion is only 12 silver coins.”
“The Sweet Blood Potion here is even more useful. It can attract sea creatures and cause them to gather up, making it easy to catch them all at once. One jar only cost 20 copper coins, but it can save a lot on manpower.”
“Eh? That sounds a bit interesting.” The dragonman youngster stopped, “Give me two samples.”
“Here you go!” Yan Yi passed two corked samples to the dragonman youngster while also not forgetting about Commander Beng Dai too.
He took out another two samples and gave them to Commander Beng Dai.
But Commander Beng Dai refused them, “This is the Mercenary Guild, when was a peddler allowed in?”
His deliberately raised voice immediately attracted a staff member.
Yan Yi was rushed out past the dragonman youngster.
Commander Beng Dai kindly advised the young man, “Such a peddler won’t have good potions.”
“Don’t try potions wantonly.”
“Because of magic power harmonization, if you consume a potion that conflicts with your battle qi, you might jeopardize your life!”
“During the sale and the auction, all kinds of people will be on the island, a mingling of dragons and snakes.”
“If you want to buy potions, you’d better go to the Secret Medicine Merchant Alliance store. There you can feel more confident in their goods and the quality is better there too.”
“As you say.” The dragonman youngster sighed to himself, but on the outside, he humbly accepted the suggestion. “I will go take a look through the Secret Medicine Merchant Alliance store.”
Medicine needed to be verified by the market, after all, they went into one’s stomach, and it was normal for the user to be prudent about them.
Six of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps’ ships left port.
This act instantly attracted many information gatherers.
Some fishing boats seized the opportunity to covertly watch them from a distance.
Zong Ge was leading the six ships.
This time, the goal was the elimination of a shark group. It was the mission the dragonman youngster took from the Mercenary Guild.
In Zong Ge’s training plan, it was also a good chance to train these mercenaries in dealing with submerged enemies.
“These guys…” Zong Ge successively received news from his subordinates.
The Deep Sea Monster Fish, the bird scouts, and the snake scouts were also supplying Zong Ge with information too.
The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps’ coming to Two Eyes Island had caused many powers to pay attention to them.
Despite them getting a lot of information from Snake Rat Island, personally gathering first hand information was still very important.
“Then take a good look.” Zong Ge smiled.
These intelligence gatherers were also one of his targets.
“They are nearby.” Zong Ge checked an ocean map after transmitting an order.
The six ships slowed and began to look for the shark group.
“I found a shark group!” A lookout reported not long after.
“Encirclement formation.” Zong Ge began to train the ships in formations.
“Throw Sweet Blood Potions.” He then ordered soon after.
Medicinal jars were opened.
The mercenaries stood on the side of the ship, each of them dropping a medicinal jar down.
The potions dropped into the seater and quickly dissolved.
A wide expanse of blood red began to spread.
Sharks smelled the potion’s sweet fishy odor, and one after the other, they swarmed.
They swam through the bloody seawater, gradually growing frenzied, causing the surface of the sea to splash and spray, churning endlessly like boiling water.
Aim at the potion water, and open fire!”
Following Zong Ge’s order, the already aimed cannons boomed.
Artillery shells poured down in torrents like a scattering flock of birds and smashed into the sea.
The sharks were exploded into two or lacerated by the bombardment.
The blood and severed flesh made the sharks more frenzied, and they started to tear each other apart.
The cannons were unending and deafening for fifteen minutes.
“Cease firing.” Using information transmitted by the Deep Sea Monster Fish Zong Ge had precisely determined when the shark group was nearing total defeat.
This time, the mercenaries’ sailing training had been accomplished to Zong Ge’s satisfaction.
Previously, on Snake Rat Island, he had bitterly drilled this aspect.
Later during the Snake Rat naval battle, their exceptional display had successfully intercepted Rou Zang’s fleeing fleet.
Although after the war the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps had taken in many people, these people are all excellent pirates and had sailing skills engraved in their skulls.
At the same time, Zong Ge still make out deficiencies.
“Not enough cannons.”
“Furthermore, these cannons are ordinary. We only have a gold level cannon, and lack bronze level, iron level, and silver level cannons.
“Bombardment battles are the foundation of conventional naval battles.
“Close quarters combat occurs far less than bombardment battles.”
“If the bombardment battle goes well, there will be no need for hand to hand combat, it can determine the war situation and beat the opponent into raising the white flag in surrender.”
Zong Ge was an outstanding officer that always wanted to get a good battle to damage ratio.
He continued to issue orders, and the ships headed to the bloody area the cannons had devastated.
“Deputy commander, there are still magic sharks wreaking havoc in it!” A lookout reported.
“That is what I want to use.” Zong Ge laughed, “Is Kuai Tui and the others ready?”
A subordinate promptly reported, “They are prepared!”
“Then have them deploy.” Said Zong Ge.
Kuai Tui was an iron level dogman.
A long rope connected to the mast was tied around his waist, and behind him, other mercenaries were tied with ropes too.
By Kuai Tui were other dogmen fighters like him.
After receiving Zong Ge’s order, they jumped from the ship and dove into the seawater.
In the bloody red water, line of sight was obstructed greatly.
Kuai Tui and the others dropped into the seawater and received the charging shark group.
Wielding cutlasses, they tussled with the sharks.
When they needed to take a breath or were in a dangerous situation, they would be yanked up by mercenaries onboard the ships.
