The date set by the Tianxing Mercenary Group for the recruitment was dragged on and on. It was only at dusk did the line of contestants disperse. The more this happened, the more famous the Tianxing Mercenary Group would be, and the more famous people there would be. Many people understood that in this newly established mercenary group, it was the easiest for one to become outstanding.

Of course, the test of aptitude and loyalty let the vast majority of people take advantage of their joy and disappoint. At least 95% of those who applied for the test failed. Even so, in the span of nearly a month, the number of people in the Tianxing Mercenary Group had increased from the initial five people to close to a thousand.

Compared to a large group of mercenaries, this number was truly small, but the speed at which it developed was unprecedented. Most importantly, the overall quality of this team could be said to be unique in the Mercenary world. Although their strength was not the strongest, but in terms of loyalty and aptitude, there was no problem at all. As long as their individual strength increased in the future, they would become an extremely powerful fighter!

There was an endless stream of applicants, but the recruitment had to stop, and it was announced that they would continue to recruit students at the same time next year. In fact, a serious problem had arisen.

In the brand-new big hall, Lan Feng who had been resting for two days and had much better spirits sighed. Shawk was even more worried, the five of them all looked to be deep in thought. There were a total of 850 people in the mercenary group, so there was no problem with their residences for the time being. However, they were all living people. If they wanted to eat or drink, every day was an astonishing expense. Shawk had already lowered the cost of food to the lowest, but the cost of food in a day still exceeded 30 gold coins.

After a long while, MerLin opened her mouth first and sighed, "Shawk, what do you think we should do? I don't know much about that either. "

Shawk thought for a long time before shaking his head and saying with a bitter smile: "No wonder so many people say that the mercenary food is not tasty, and looks to be free from worries, but in reality, there are actually a lot of problems that I have to face. Our mercenary group is growing too quickly, and our levels are too low. We are unable to take on missions that truly earn money, even if we were to die from exhaustion, we are unable to provide the entire group with any food or drinks. "

"If it really doesn't work, then let them go to another city's trade union to accept quests. This is the best method right now, the larger mercenary groups are all scattered like this." Lan Feng sighed.

Shawk smiled noncommittally, "That's right. Those large and medium-sized mercenary groups all have a headquarters and they then disperse their troops to cities around the world. However, our group is different. One had to know that these people had just joined. Putting aside the teamwork between them, just being a leader was a very troublesome matter. Everyone had just joined and no one had contributed much to the competition. Any promotion would only cause others to be dissatisfied. If you want to be acknowledged by your subordinates, you need to be fair and equal. "

Milon was exceptionally quiet today, he did not even have the appetite to eat, at this time, he suddenly stood up and said loudly: "How about, we borrow some money from the City Lord?"

Everyone revealed an embarrassed look at the same time. Shawk's face that was hard to come by blushed slightly and scolded softly: "Count Osan has already done too many things for us. No matter how greedy we are, there has to be a limit. Besides, what do we have to pay back after borrowing? This was the only way to cure the symptoms. We have to think of a long-term solution, and it has to be able to solve the problem at hand in a short period of time. "

Lan Feng's eyes lit up, and a bold idea appeared in his mind. Shawk was the first to notice the change in his expression, and immediately asked: "Did you think of something?"

"There is a way, but" Lan Feng couldn't help but shiver and mutter: "It's too outrageous. I'm afraid it will bring us big trouble, and it might even cause Tianxing Mercenary Group to become the target of everyone."

After a moment, Shawk's face changed. He stuttered: "You're not saying that we should do it ourselves?"

When he said these words, MerLin and the rest still did not understand. Only Lan Feng knew that Shawk had guessed his intentions, and nodded his head: "Others can do it, but we can too. We do not have the ability to compare with the entire Mercenary Union, but in the nearby regions, the reputation of our mercenary group is definitely not weaker than that of a branch guild. "

This time, other than Milon, everyone else understood that this so-called solo work required an independent Mercenary Union. They would directly accept missions from customers, and focus the functions of the mercenary group and the Mercenary Union in one place. This way, not only could he choose missions, but he would also not be restricted by his mercenary rank. He could accept any kind of missions, and his income would naturally increase as well.

But the downside of doing this was obvious. The mercenary groups did not accept missions from the unions, which, in a sense, was going against the customs of the Mercenary world. It could even be said that they were fighting over business with the Mercenary Union. There was a reason why Mercenary Union could become the superior of all the mercenary groups in name. At the very least, the strength that Mercenary Union possessed was extremely strong, and was definitely not something a mercenary group could go against.

Even the Fire Phoenix, who was the number one mercenary group, would not dare to do such a thing. Lan Feng's thoughts were indeed out of his expectations. How could such a tolerant, upright, modest, and kind Imperial Knight have such a crazy thought?

No one could figure it out, and only Lan Feng himself knew that it was all because of the situation. Other than that, the evil thoughts that had been instilled into Shawk's body for so long had led him in a completely opposite direction from the path of light. This point, even he himself might not have noticed.

The next day, Tianxing Mercenary Group announced that she would directly contact her employer for a mission in the future. However, the possibility of accepting a mission from the Mercenary Union was not excluded.

Count Osan was shocked, but after considering the benefits, he decided to use all the power he had in his hands to spread the news as much as possible. Instantly, it was as if a large meteorite had fallen from a calm lake. With Yunjian City as the center, radiation and radiation, the destructive power caused was completely outside of Shawk and his expectations. The subsequent effects shocked the entire continent.

What happened in the future was something that no one knew, the matter at hand was already imminent. Old John was the first to rush over in a flustered and furious manner, he was moved, he was the first to reason with them, and advised them to give up this' terrifying 'plan. They refused, and following that, as the Tianxing Mercenary Group was famous everywhere, and the same mission fees were cheaper than the Mercenary Union, there were started employers looking for them.

From the upper-class aristocrats to the middle-class wealthy merchants and elites, finally there were some ordinary commoners. Many of them specially came from the surrounding cities. There were all sorts of missions, including large quantities of goods that were worth hundreds of gold coins to escort. Some silver coins were used to search for lost items, causing the entire Tianxing Mercenary Group to become busy. As long as she could earn a single silver coin without losing anything, she would be able to accept the quest.

Nearly a thousand people were sent out in groups according to the difficulty of the mission. Even the vice-captain and the captain were personally sent out, and their Space Rings were put to great use.

Lan Feng's crazy plan succeeded, it was very successful, the Tianxing Mercenary Group's fees were low, the efficiency was extremely high, and he immediately gave a reply whether he wanted to receive the call or not. Unlike the Mercenary Union, which accepted all sorts of missions, some missions were left hanging, which made employers wait and wait.

As such, the current Yunjian City was like a small family with light business. Only quests that the Tianxing Mercenary Group did not accept would appear there, and quests that the Tianxing Mercenary Group did not accept would usually not be profitable, so who in the guild would accept quests that they did not have money to earn?

Just like that, two months passed. Tianxing Mercenary Group's income increased with each passing day, and the most basic of survival problems had long been solved. During this period of time, Old John repeatedly advised Shawk, and even very straightforwardly told him that if he were to brazenly confront Mercenary Union like this, sooner or later great things would happen. Seeing the gold coins rush into his pockets like floodwaters, Shawk didn't even take his words seriously.

After earning dozens of gold coins from completing a single escort mission, MerLin and Lan Feng didn't even have time to drink a mouthful of water before they rushed over.

Without giving Shawk time to show off, MerLin said anxiously: "You two are finally back, I'm going crazy from anxiousness."

Shawk was startled, and thought that something had happened to the mercenary group, so he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? What happened? "

After giving Lan Feng a deep glance, MerLin began to recount in detail, "A guest came two days ago to say that he wanted to complete a mission, so I asked him what kind of mission it is. He said that he wanted to meet the captain and vice-captain, and according to his disclosure, the commission for this mission is at least ten thousand gold coins. "

"Ten thousand gold!" Shawk drew in a breath of cold air, and said in shock: "This is definitely considered a Blue Stage mission in the Mercenary Union, where is he? "Quick, take us there."

"He lives at the Cloudy Wind Inn. He says he will wait for you!"

Before MerLin could finish speaking, Shawk had already pulled Lan Feng and left the hall like a gust of wind. Looking at Lan Feng's leaving figure, MerLin's gaze did not shift away for a long time.

Tens of thousands of gold coins spun in Shawk's mind, that was enough for a mercenary group to spend for half a year. Lan Feng was still relatively calm, he knew that with such a high fee, the mission was definitely not that simple. However, if the Mercenary Group wanted to survive, they would need to eat with their mouths wide open. He didn't want to miss this opportunity, even if it didn't work out, he would have to meet them and get to know each other.

Very quickly, the two of them arrived at the most luxurious and expensive inn in Yunjian City. They sat at the old inn in the Eastern District's business center — — Cloud Wind Inn.

Lan Feng's and Shawk's names could be said to be known by everyone in the Yunjian City. Even though they had never been here before, but from the owners, waiters and guests, they seemed to recognize the two of them.

"Captain, please come in, please come in!" While welcoming the two into the store, the boss respectfully greeted them, "This is the first time I've been to the store. I am the owner of this Tempest Cloud Inn. Captain, you can just call me Mona."

Shawk didn't even hear what he said and directly stated his purpose for coming. "Boss, is there a customer looking for us here?"

When the inn owner heard this, he hurriedly stopped his chattering and slapped his head. "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. That guest even said that as long as he sees the two captains in our shop, he would immediately tell them." "Please wait for a moment, I'll go right away!"

"No need. Boss, please go back to your work. I am here to greet the two Guild Leaders."

The voice came from the guest rooms upstairs. As the most high-end inn in Yunjian City, no one would doubt the soundproofing effect of the rooms. Lan Feng and Shawk looked at each other, their hearts becoming more cautious — the other party was not an ordinary person, moreover, their strength would not be too weak.
