Chapter 498: Chapter 374: A Completely New Attempt_2

As such, this reaction was naturally within his expectations.

“Young sir, do you still need more helpers? My small team has two Tier 2 powerhouses, five with Tier 1 peak strength, and a well-rounded mix of professions.

We are a 20-year-old mercenary team certified by the Mercenary Guild, with a guaranteed reputation and never breaking a contract!”

“Sir, in my team, there are three Tier 1 peak level mages with excellent long-range attack capabilities. Please hire us!”

“Brothers, calm down! Following this gentleman is the same as opposing Marquis Rocky! The outcome will be miserable!”

“What’s there to fear? Behind this gentleman stands one of the two princes. Are we still afraid of that old dog Rocky?

Moreover, look at what these people have done to Redarrow City? We are righting the wrongs for heaven’s sake!”

“That’s right. I’ve long been fed up with these soldiers who have been misbehaving in Redarrow City.

Today, I will use my giant axe to teach them a lesson!”

Looking at the increasingly excited mercenaries not far away, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he turned to the still standing and stunned Donna and said, “Go ahead, I’ll leave the selection of mercenaries to you.

Choose the teams that you think are suitable to be stationed here.”

Before this, Leo Ray had naturally seen the causes and consequences of the confrontation between the female mercenary captain and the city defense soldiers.

In addition, she had chosen to help his side at the risk of danger, so entrusting this task to her was undoubtedly the best choice.

“Sir, are you saying… I shall be in charge of this place from now on?”

Upon hearing this, Donna’s delicate face showed a look of astonishment, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

“Yes, you can understand it that way.” Leo Ray nodded slightly and waved his hand, “Time is running out, go quickly.”

“Yes, sir!” Upon hearing this, Donna and her team members hurriedly began to get busy.

Since these mercenaries knew each other well and were familiar with each other’s character and history.

So in just a short time, Donna quickly returned to Leo Ray’s side.

Then, her spirited voice reached his ears, “Reporting to you, sir.

Currently, I have selected ten teams of mercenaries with impressive strength and combat ability, temporarily forming a mercenary squadron.

The contract will be signed in the Mercenary Guild within the city later on.

In addition, there should be enough mercenaries staying in the city to form a second mercenary squadron.

However, due to the lack of large-scale mercenary corps organizations nearby, it is difficult to recruit mercenaries of larger than squadron strength.

But please rest assured, sir, these mercenary teams are all very reliable.”

“Very good. Later, I will deposit a large amount of commission directly into the Mercenary Guild here.”

After nodding slightly, Leo Ray pondered for a moment and continued, “By the way, the strength of two squadrons is far from enough.

Spread the news that we want to recruit a regiment-sized mercenary force to guard this city in the near future.

If there are mercenary corps with more than squadron strength coming to join, be sure to screen them well.”

Without a doubt, for Leo Ray, who is currently holding millions of Gold Dragons,

this is not a problem, so it can only be described as a drop in the bucket.

The key is that hiring a large number of mercenaries to guard the city, or even engage in large-scale legion warfare,

is a new attempt for his side.

It can be imagined that the mercenaries who are good at small team combat, and professional soldiers who are good at large-scale military line combat, have significant differences, and their working styles are completely different.

However, with Leo Ray’s financial resources, it is not impossible to gather all the numerous mercenaries of Coldflame together in theory.

In this way, quantitative changes will naturally lead to qualitative changes.

There is no problem for the mercenary troops, whose strength is not weak, to cooperate with the regular troops in attack and defense.”In conclusion, although I’ve had this idea before, it’s still a completely new attempt.

Let’s start with this mercenary unit.”

With that thought, Leo Ray hesitated slightly and purposely raised his voice louder.

Then he said indifferently, “By the way, if I find any mercenaries acting arrogantly here, their fate will be the same as these black armored soldiers lying on the ground.”

“Understood! Please rest assured, sir!” Hearing this, Donna quickly bowed again.

Those selected mercenaries, after glancing at the corpses scattered on the ground, showed a respectful expression and nodded hurriedly.

“All right, the other mercenary teams will stay here to guard the gate and clean up the battlefield. Your team, follow me.”

Immediately after, Leo Ray waved his hand, collected the ten shimmering Gold Dragons back into his bag, and continued on his way.

After successfully entering the city, Leo Ray noticed:

The streets of Redarrow City were filled with fallen leaves, desolate houses, and an overall bleak atmosphere.

Only a few scattered shops were still operating, and the few pedestrians who passed by were all dressed as merchants and mercenaries.

“Sir, this is the outer city area of the town, where only outsiders like us can stay.”

At this time, Donna stepped forward with a serious expression, sighed lightly, and then introduced, “The residents of the city have been concentrated in the more enclosed inner city area by the ruler of this place.

There, the guards are numerous and dense, probably with nine middle teams of soldiers.

This includes an elite Tier 2 royal guard squad, which is the personal army of Marquis Rocky from Pinehaven City.

Moreover, the ruler himself is a ruthless Tier 3 Peak Powerhouse, so please be very careful, sir.”

“It’s pretty much as I expected.” Leo Ray raised his eyebrows and nodded.

This special town was under the jurisdiction of Marquis Rocky, and naturally, no one around dared to provoke him.

Therefore, a thousand soldiers were enough to completely suppress the residents in the city.

“I have to say, it’s the first time I’ve seen a city defense army that’s not facing the outside but focused on the inside.”

Thinking about this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but curl his lips.

“Sir, there’s a dense aura near the bell tower ahead, forming a very impressive atmosphere with an estimated scale of eight hundred to nine hundred people.”

Following that, Taylor’s rough voice echoed in Leo Ray’s ears.

“Sir, the city wall of the inner city is right next to that bell tower!”

On the other side, Donna quickly added, “That inner wall, like a heavy shackle, has completely isolated the poor residents of the city from the outside world.”

“So that’s how it is. No wonder reinforcements haven’t arrived for so long. It seems the enemy is stationed there, waiting for us to fall into their trap.”

Gazing at the towering black bell tower in the distance, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly.

Thus, after crossing several desolate streets in a straight line,

Another towering city wall appeared not far in front of Leo Ray.

Looking carefully, the top of this city wall, at least six or seven meters high,

Was already densely packed with a large number of bow and arrow-wielding archers, crossbowmen, and mages, ready for battle and emitting a murderous aura.

The cold light of sharp arrow tips glittering under the bright sun, as well as the small magic arrays constantly rotating and ready to unleash at the top of the magic wands, complement each other.

In addition to the icy aura and strong killing intent that emanated from nearly a thousand enemy soldiers and filled the air,

Donna and the other mercenaries couldn’t help but swallow, feeling a chill down their spines.

But Leo Ray and his companions still had a casual expression, obviously not taking these enemies seriously at all.

“Is this the inner wall that blocks the city’s residents?”

At this time, looking at the towering and solid city wall in the distance, Leo Ray said indifferently, “In that case,

Let me break this heavy shackle that has imprisoned the residents of the city for years.”
