Chapter 1017: Demon Invasion (2/2)
The city would auction off large pieces of the battlefield in an auction. Then, the families that bought off pieces of land on the battlefield would be able to use it privately for a select period of time. This way, they'll be able to reap benefits from slaying all the demons that pass through the respective area.
There were both big and small areas that were auctioned off. Based on the appearing horde of demons, the value for every place would vary every day. So, the auction house contesting for these pieces of land was heavily eyed by every powerful family of the city.
On top of that, since it was a daily occurrence, everything was conducted online, making the process quick. Among the lands under the hands of the mercenaries, most were auctioned off. Then again, some were left as free grounds.
It was where the commoners trying to test their luck would head towards. Those that made a name for themselves in these public grounds would be eyes by the powerful families to be recruited into.
At present, Wrister had indeed bought a private piece of land for themselves. It was only valid for a day, but the area was big enough for more than 100 warriors to fight. Plus, it was a place frequented by Tier 3 Demons constantly. So, it was a pretty expensive piece of land.
Wrister had expended a significant sum of his money to buy this piece of land. However, he wasn't concerned about the cost. After all, he and his granddaughter were already at the peak of Tier 4. Any sum of money could easily be earned by them.
After all, with their strengths, they only had to fear the Red Demons. After journeying for three hours, their bus had finally reached a massive building, the biggest and largest of the city. It was where all the warriors from the city congregated to head into the battlefield.
And, since the entire source of revenue for the city was from the battlefield, the city's workforce was in the place. It was the most bustling and chaotic place in the entire city. If not for the fact that warriors had to rest and recover from their injuries and replenish their expended energy, a process that took a lot of time due to the nutrition lacking fishes they ate, the place would have been practically filled by people to the extent even air wouldn't pass through.
It was an eighty-story structure, shaped into a crescent moon, spanning a length of five kilometers and a width of two kilometers. It was simply a concrete behemoth. Once they reached the building, the trio had to go through a myriad of headaches to finish the formalities.
The formalities consisted of a series of identity verification and other matters. Even though Krune was slightly apprehensive at the start, once the process concluded, he heaved a sigh of relief. It was already evening by the time they were done with everything.
Unwilling to waste any more time, they headed into the open, walking through the narrow bridge that was covered with humans either heading towards or leaving from the battlefield. Spanning a width of 100 meters, it wasn't much for the crowd to move through.
Thankfully, they only had to traverse a distance of one kilometer to reach the battlefield. As it was getting dark, Krune noticed massive beams of light fall on the battlefield from the crescent moon-shaped building, brightening it up, allowing the humans to see during the night without trouble.
Upon seeing the shouts of roars and the slaughter conducted nonstop in the place that was covered by a thick layer of blood, Krune shuddered, muttering as he gazed at the unending stream of demons arriving from the other side, ”Demon Invasion…!”
