Chapter 254 The smell of conspiracy
"Mercenary Guild? Interesting."
At the exit of the town, dozens of people gathered in front of the newly built building, marveling at it.
The reason is simple. Compared with other residences, this mercenary guild is somewhat out of place, like a small Western-style building built among a bunch of earthen houses, which is particularly eye-catching.
The interior is also extremely magnificent and full of luxury. Several waiters are constantly walking back and forth at the front desk, issuing tasks one by one.
The current tasks are very simple. For example, hunting a blind bear can earn you some mercenary points and thousands of Alliance coins. Even logging can earn you points, which is just like giving out benefits.
"Boss, do you think this mercenary guild can really be established? I've been watching for a while and no one's accepting the missions."
On the top floor of the Mercenary Union Building, Thompson asked the young man sitting on the chair with some doubt.
"Don't worry. People in the Far East are full of adventurous spirits." Luo Li didn't care about the current situation. He looked at Thompson and said softly, "Besides, this is a welfare union. Instead of giving them charity, why not give them some simple tasks?"
"Things gained easily won't be cherished, but those gained through hard work will bring a sense of accomplishment and deepen your sense of belonging to the Mercenary Guild."
After Luo Li's explanation, Thompson also understood.
"The Mercenary Guild is now handed over to you. With your current strength that has broken through the ranks, you are enough to suppress the Mercenary Guild. I will also place this girl, Hantina, in your Mercenary Guild." Luo Li smiled and said to Thompson after seeing that some people had already started to accept the tasks on the screen.
That's right, after more than a year of adventure and fighting, although Thompson has reached middle age, he has finally reached the level of breaking through. Luo Li is not surprised by this. After all, he is a heroic character. Even if he has been idle for many years, his talent is still not comparable to that of ordinary people.
"No problem." Thompson nodded, indicating that he was capable of taking on this position. Thompson was very satisfied with his current life. His daughter was lively and cute, his wife was gentle and charming, and he himself had made great progress in his abilities. His future was bright.
After Luo Li walked out of the Mercenary Guild, there was emotion in his eyes. In a sense, he started out as a mercenary, so naturally he cared about the Mercenary Guild.
In addition to the list displayed publicly, the Mercenary Guild also has an internal list. Several people inside Yanyu have left their traces in the Mercenary Guild.
For example, Tina’s code name is the Angel of Death.
His code name is Xiao Yan.
……
Now, the attention of the top leaders of the entire alliance is focused on the Battle of Metropolis. They thought that the four alliance forces plus many special agent teams could quickly and completely eliminate Metropolis.
However, the hidden strength of the metropolis shocked the top leaders of the alliance. Waves of zombies emerged from the underground of the metropolis, stubbornly resisting the alliance army, and even launched counterattacks several times, almost breaking through the blockade.
Fortunately, Wan Fei stepped forward in time and transferred a mecha unit from the steel forest to provide fire reinforcement, which helped to drive back the main force of the zombies.
"Sir Wan, the Xiaolong team has been evacuated. The Xinrui and Xiaolong teams have also arrived. Should we allow these two teams to enter the metropolis?"
In the lobby of the temporary camp, a clerk was reporting the situation to a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses.
Wan Fei leaned back in his chair, tapping the table with his fingers. It was obvious that he was also very uneasy.
"I understand. Are there any new powerful individuals among the zombies?" Wan Fei asked another question.
"Yes, Mr. Wan, look, this is all the powerful individuals we've seen so far from yesterday." The clerk took out a document and placed it in front of Wan Fei. After Wan Fei took it, the more he read it, the tighter his brows furrowed.
"Berserker? His body is extremely strong, even the death ray can't cause much damage. He withstood the firepower of the entire team and rushed to the camp on the shore. His weakness is that he moves slowly, and was killed by the retreating Xiaolong team!" Wan Fei frowned.
He was troubled by the hidden strength of Metropolis. When Mary led the Sharp Leopards team to bravely break into Metropolis, powerful individuals like the Gold Medal Fighter Boxing Zombie were rare, and it took a special team like the Sharp Leopards to get through.
But now, powerful zombies like Metropolis appear in endlessly, and no less than ten broken-level beings are eliminated by the army every day. The Xiaolong team with all broken-level members has been beaten back.
"Huh!" Wan Fei took a deep breath. He had a headache. If possible, he really wanted to throw this job to other senior commanders.
"But it's better this way. I believe that after this battle, the main force of the zombie army will be completely lost. It will be impossible to recover to this level again." Wan Fei kept thinking about the gains and losses of the battle of the metropolis.
Although it consumed a lot of financial, human and material resources, this consumption was still bearable for the alliance that had been preparing for many years. As long as the main force of zombies could be eliminated, it would be worth it.
This is where Wan Fei's headache comes from. He knows very well that the people of Compney are very smart and it is impossible for them not to see that if they continue to fight like this, the zombie army will be completely wiped out. However, the other party still insists on fighting. He doesn't believe that there is no conspiracy.
"It would be great if we could mobilize the Ares battleships to carry out aerial bombardment, but those bugs are also ready to move. The previous support once was already the limit, otherwise there will be problems in space." Wan Fei looked at the information in his hand again, thinking in his heart how to end the war quickly.
Then, a voice sounded in Wan Fei’s mind, “Let’s see if that kid has any opinions.” Wan Fei thought to himself and began to connect with Yanyu.
At this time, Luo Li was in the crater, chatting with three little guys who had grown up. Yes, three. Xiaohuo, who fell under the Triumphal Palace, came back with Thompson.
This was also the escape route that Luo Li gave Thompson when he went to Paris. If he couldn't do it, he could retreat to the Arc de Triomphe and then to the underground palace, where he would be safe.
It was similar to what Luo Li thought. Xiaohuo, as the first Fire Lord and the eldest brother of the three little ones, had grown in the magma under the Triumphal Palace for so long. Combined with the corpse of the Duke of Normandy, he had reached his peak.
The Fire Lord looked exactly like the majestic one Luo Li had in mind, which made the other two little guys who were still at the peak of their growth period envious.
Luo Li didn't have a good solution for this. The three little ones were all Fire Lords, and theoretically their qualifications were the same.
If Luo Li had not taken Xiaohuo away, and the three little ones were in the same volcano, Xiaoyan and the other two would probably be no match for the Ice and Fire Enchantress now.
Luo Li was thinking about which place would be suitable for the growth of the three Fire Lords, but was interrupted by a communication. After taking a look at who called, he couldn't help but smile.
It seems that Wan Fei is also having a headache now.
After Luo Li answered the call, Wan Fei's image appeared in the air. Looking at the background, it didn't look like the European Union headquarters. Luo Li couldn't help but smile and said:
"Sir Wan, how come you have time to call me?"
