Chapter 67: Dawn Mercenary Team

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The mercenary guild was spread out across the entire legendary continent. The guild was slightly different from the Sacred Palace and the Palace of Darkness, but it performed the same function.

But the professionals that the Sacred Palace and the Palace of Darkness had developed were all believers, they could even be considered half of their own people.

On the contrary, the mercenary guild was a loose association and only an intermediate power. It had a wide network of connections and spread over countless nations and established camps. In each town or city, mercenary teams were formed with local rangers and mercenary soldiers.

The guild was only in charge of releasing missions and it collected a portion of the earnings. Alternatively, it recruited warriors to become staff in the mercenary guild, or even core members.

But no matter what, the mercenary guild would work together with any city, nation, and established camps. The mercenary teams were also not the subordinates of the mercenary guild.

If they wanted to use the mercenary troops to do something, they had to rely on underhanded PY transactions, or monetary transactions…

The moment the mercenary guild had entered the City of Dawn.

William had used his fame and established the Dawn Mercenary Team!

Many professionals did not like being soldiers. There were also others who were not selected, as they didn’t have the required bloodline potential. These professionals did not want to farm and be used by others. Thus, the only road left for them was to become mercenary soldiers.

There were also some people who planned to build a mercenary team and develop their own power.

But the moment the mercenary guild opened their doors and celebrated,

Many eyes narrowed

A mercenary team already existed.

The Dawn Mercenary Team!

That was the name.

Many rangers checked the news. It was true.

The team had been established by the lord of the city himself.

The reason for this move was,

William wanted to capture all the powers in the City of Dawn. He desired to take them under his command.

No matter whether regular or irregular troops, they all had to belong to him.

Was there a need for the lord to establish a mercenary team?

Should he even establish a mercenary team?

Or, would his status go down by establishing the mercenary team?

It all did not matter!

In the City of Dawn, where one person’s words were the law, William was the only aristocrat, the only leader. No one dared to oppose him.

Furthermore, many civilians did not mind this. A majority of them did not have their own opinions on the issue.

William already had his eye on those who had, though. If any trouble arose, the outcome would be a certain death.

The fact that Dawn Mercenary Team existed made many professionals wild with joy. They could not manage to become part of the regular troops and had become depressed. But, they now had the chance to join the mercenary troops under the lord of the city.

It was even a better choice. After all, even though the treatment of the regular troops was better, they were not as free as the mercenary troops. They got less rest time as well.

If they did not want to fight, why did they want to become mercenary soldiers?

It was because of the missions, right? If they did not want to do missions, they would rest and wander around, right?

Thus, it did not matter to them which mercenary team they joined.

The assistant leader of the group was Alec. The dark shadow rangers with hidden occupations were the ones in charge. William was with the group only in name, even though he had only established the group.

But it was precisely because of his involvement with the group that many rangers and warriors with ulterior motives backed out. They had wanted to establish their own powers, but now they could only endure and join the Dawn Mercenary Team.

It could not be helped.

William had strong power and influence in the City of Dawn right now. He was very well-known. No one dared to provoke him.

And as of that today, the mercenary guild only had one mercenary team in name, his team.

The Dawn Mercenary Team!

The team comprised of over 800 people. Majority were beginner level professionals, but a few middle level professionals also made the numbers.

These mercenary soldiers could accept idle missions issued by the Executive, or missions that were not very dangerous.

Lautner would announce missions. These missions were something regular troops had no time to deal with or were lazy to do it, and had passed them to the mercenary guild. This would allow his mercenary troops to earn some benefits.

For example, obtaining fur, the regular troops could not sacrifice training time for that. How would they have the time to go about and hunt? These kinds of jobs would definitely be left for the mercenary troops.

Furthermore, with a mercenary team established by the lord himself already present, was there a need for others to establish mercenary teams? Was there a need to steal business and missions from others?

There was no chance at all…

Those ambitious warriors and rangers understood this very well…

Angry Fatty also realized this. He encountered some other players with the internal test cards. A dozen or so of them had gathered together, and a discussion, it couldn’t be helped, followed.

“He is exerting his authority. Everyone in the city who has even slight combat power will be under his control.” A warrior spoke. Changli Jiuge was his name, a professional from the glory club. The rest of the players nodded in approval.

“Although that is what they say, according to the information leaked by the government web, occurrences of internal strife have decreased. This lord has established camp differently than the past where only one person held power, and the aristocrats in the nations.”

“Then what do we do? Join the Dawn Mercenary Team? Establish our own mercenary team?”

The moment he finished speaking, everyone looked at him with concern. The player lowered his head and started talking to himself, as if it was not him who had just spoken.

Changli Jiuge sighed. “The dozen of us are new, our skills, weak. We are unfamiliar with the map, and don’t have many connections. We don’t even have 100 gold coins to establish a mercenary team.

“Our aim for these 12 days should be to get ahead of the other players and understand this more. There is no need to make a mercenary team.”

Angry Fatty nodded his head. “Brother Chang is right. Everyone present here was able to receive an internal test card. Why? Because we are the elites among the players, the veterans. But it is precisely why we have to forget about our past achievements. Here, we are still newbies.”

“There was not much in the information released by the government web. We have to gather the information ourselves.”

“Why don’t we join the Dawn Mercenary Team first? Putting everything else aside, let’s see what the benefits are. No matter what, this is a mercenary team built by the lord of the city himself.”

“Actually, not a bad idea. Even if there are other mercenary teams, I will not join them. After all, the mercenary team established by the Legendary Boss is not something other mercenary teams can rival!”

Nobody could find a fault in what he had said.

All of them nodded. They did not talk about anything else, there was no need too. Their names as Legendary NPCs were enough attraction for them to join the Dawn Mercenary Team.

After all, some time had passed since the Internal test had commenced, and 1000 players had arrived in the game. Some people had realized that William was a Legendary Boss. But other than that, they had not seen any impressive bosses.

The 13 of them did not hesitate and walked into the mercenary guild.

The receptionist at the front desk of the mercenary guild was very sluggish. He glanced at them and asked, “You want to join the Dawn Mercenary Team?”

“Yes. Are there any requirements?” Changli Jiuge responded to the query.

“Hey, don’t sleep. You are the one running the mercenary guild.” The receptionist turned and kicked a chair.

The leader of the mercenary guild woke up. Needless to say, as a staff of the mercenary guild, he had never seen such an unreasonable neutral power.

The lord of the city had established the mercenary team, but stopped the guild from earning more benefits.

As for the mercenary guild, the more mercenary teams there were, the stronger the competition between them, It allowed the guild obtain greater benefits. Now, it felt as if the mercenary guild was doing manual work for the City of Dawn instead. They had almost no presence of their own…

“Ah…” Peter wiped off his drool. He looked at Angry Fatty and the rest while in a daze. Then, he suddenly understood and nodded. “You can join us. If you are all professionals, then there are no more requirements. Now, follow me!”

Changli Jiuge and the rest looked at one another. They suddenly had an unpleasant premonition.

It was a natural reaction.

This kind of sloppy reception personnel often meant that the mercenary team was no good!
