Chapter 77 Repeated Failure
When the fiery red sun rises, the entire earth is shrouded in fiery heat, and the heat of people's blood consciously rises several degrees.
Today is the day of the swearing-in meeting of the Jade Dragon Mercenary Group.
In the square in front of the Jade Dragon Group's headquarters, there was a dark crowd, numbering in the thousands, and it was obviously very lively.
Not all of these people are members of the Jade Dragon Group, there are also many forces from various parties who have good relations with the Jade Dragon Group and have been invited to come.
This kind of swearing-in meeting is said to be a mobilization meeting for the Demon Hunting Competition, but it is actually a good opportunity to show off one's strength in front of everyone.
When those people who were invited looked at the four to five hundred menacing mercenaries in the center of the square, they couldn't help but start talking...
"The Jade Dragon Group has developed really well in the past few years. I was right to choose to cooperate with the Jade Dragon Group!" A white-haired old man said with a rather proud smile.
"Yes, since the Jade Dragon Group has developed and grown, the strength of Blood Ge Town has also been greatly improved!"
"That's because there used to be too many mercenary groups and they fought too hard with each other. Now it's much better."
"I still think that the Blood Prison Group is stronger, and the Jade Dragon Group is still far behind." A middle-aged strong man who was close to the Blood Prison Group interjected.
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, many people around him turned to glare at him. Most of the people here today were people close to the Jade Dragon Group. Unexpectedly, a spy from the Blood Prison Group snuck in. Naturally, everyone did not like to see him.
Suddenly being stared at maliciously by so many people, the middle-aged man stopped interrupting and looked towards the front of the square.
Directly in front of the square is the main platform of the Jade Dragon Group.
Xiao Yulong and other heads were sitting on the square platform, but the third head, Lan Ling, was not seen.
"Master Tie Xin, the third sister really said that she will not participate in the swearing-in meeting? Is there anything more important than this swearing-in meeting?" the round-faced Fourth Master Cao Zhi couldn't help but ask.
"The fourth master, the third master said so. She seems to be with Master Mu Ling. As for the specific matter, I don't know." Tie Xin was sitting next to Cao Zhi at this time.
Although he is only a caster, in terms of status, he is comparable to these masters.
Of course, this is also because these leaders are begging him to give him this face. If we really talk about his strength, he is far behind.
"Third sister, this is..." Hua Xiaodiao, the fifth head of the family, also spoke, looking quite puzzled.
Xiao Yulong, who was at the main seat, waved his hand to interrupt their words and said casually, "Since Lan Ling has something to do, let her go."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yulong stood up directly, walked to the four old men with white hair and beards in the center of the square platform, and bowed.
Ordinarily, Xiao Yulong is the protagonist of the Jade Dragon Group's swearing-in ceremony, so why is he saluting others?
In fact, this is not the case. Although Xiao Yulong is very powerful, he is still young and has little experience. If he wants to occupy half of the country in this bloody town with strong folk customs, strength alone is not enough.
In the end, the reason why Xiao Yulong was able to integrate the large and small mercenary groups in Blood Ge Town was because of the full help of the four old men in front of him.
The four old men in front of them are named Nangong Tianwen, Jin Bai, Zhao Feitian and Aotian.
In fact, there are four other old men, and these eight people are known as the Eight Blood Elders.
However, today is not only the swearing-in meeting of the Jade Dragon Group, but also the swearing-in meeting of the Blood Prison Group.
Therefore, the other four people went to the Blood Prison Group to take charge.
As we all know, being a mercenary is a gamble with your life, and your life may be in danger at any time. Most people will not live to be half a hundred years old.
And people like the few in front of Xiao Yulong who can live until their beards and hair are white are even rarer. They rely not only on strength, but also on reputation, luck...etc.
The reputation, strength, and background of each of these people are much stronger than those of Xiao Yulong and Blood Barbarian. As long as they are in charge, the mercenaries below will definitely be honest.
Xiao Yulong bowed and saluted before saying, "Four seniors, I'm afraid Lan Ling has something to do and he won't be able to get away. I hope the seniors won't blame me."
"This damn girl won't come if she doesn't come. It doesn't matter what our business is." Nangong Tianwen, an old man with eyebrows and white beard on the right, said impatiently, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Jade Dragon, as a mercenary, your life is not in your own hands, so why do you care about these little things!" The second person is an old man with a smile. He is Jin Bai among the Eight Elders of the Blood Fight.
"It's okay, it's okay!" the other two old men also said
"Okay, since the seniors have said so, we won't wait for her, and the swearing-in meeting will begin now." After Xiao Yulong finished speaking, he retreated.
In fact, Xiao Yulong was the one who didn't care the least. He just had to say some polite words to these seniors.
After Xiao Yulong retreated, he walked to Tie Xin again, cupped his hands and said, "Master Tie Xin, thank you for your work."
Upon hearing this, Tie Xin also stood up and saluted, and then waved to a group of strong men outside.
According to Lan Ling, until now, none of the hundreds of members had received a weapon.
Therefore, before the swearing-in ceremony officially begins, Tie Xin must distribute the forged weapons first, otherwise, the swearing-in ceremony will not be held.
As Tie Xin waved his hand, dozens of strong men suddenly arrived at the center of the square carrying a box covered with smoke and dust.
After the people around saw this scene of the Jade Dragon Mercenary Group, they naturally had to point fingers...
"Haha, the Jade Dragon Group is really not good. We have just distributed weapons for such an important competition. It seems that the preparations before the game are not done well at all." The strong man who just supported the Blood Prison Group suddenly laughed.
Hearing his voice, several people around him also looked embarrassed.
Although they were very unhappy with what the middle-aged man said, the Jade Dragon Regiment had not distributed weapons until now, which indeed gave people a feeling of lack of preparation.
However, as all the mercenaries got their weapons, the already fiery atmosphere in the square suddenly became a lot more violent...
"Oh my god, this sword is actually an attribute weapon. The power of this fire is so strong!"
"My axe, too!"
"Yes, this knife is a level better than my previous weapon."
"Haha, with this knife, I can kill twice as many animals."
"Look over there, the weapons of the guards of the masters are one level better than ours."
"What, is there anything better? Damn it, these bastards!" The mercenaries who were so excited just now suddenly felt a little unhappy.
When Tie Xin heard these discussions, he just smiled lightly. The weapons obtained by these guards were made from the last batch of fire ore, and their quality was indeed much improved compared to the previous ones.
"No, you haven't seen the weapons that these two sluts Ging Guo and Chen Li got. They are really good. It is said that they can even catch up with the weapons made by the weapon refiners." Some mercenaries also said lowly.
Talk about it
Many of them had also heard about the scene between Guoli and Guoli in the meeting hall that day, and when they looked at their weapons, their eyes became much darker.
"Fuck, this time I have this sword, my efficiency in hunting monsters will definitely be twice as high. I may be promoted to a guard by then." But most people are quite contented.
"Forget it, I'll hold back my anger for now, and I'll deal with the guards next time."
