Chapter 389 - The Establishment of Mercenary (1/2)

“The Human Alliance has issued the order to disengage the danger alert of Shadong Town. Your duty here has been relieved. You will also no longer enjoy special treatment from this point onward!”

Qin Feng spoke sternly and glared at those under him.

The D-tier apt.i.tude users inside the room were prepared for it but still could not help but buzz.

“General, there are still a lot of beast herds yet to be cleansed around the desert. To lift the alert after only a month is too ras.h.!.+”

“That’s right. If we leave just like that, what will happen to Shadong Town, or even the four main cities if those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds out there suddenly trigger a monster wave?”

“How about us? Are we allowed to leave?” One of the apt.i.tude users that his body altered by the Z Organization suddenly spoke up. His question brought the hall into pin-drop silence.

Among these D-tiers, only twenty of them had not been injected with the genetic drug, while there were also ten normal apt.i.tude users deployed by Gao Yukang.

The remaining more than sixty apt.i.tude users were all mutants. Gao Yukang intended to absorb them into his troop when he asked Qin Feng to help him out at Longchuan.

On the other hand, the Human Alliance still had their reserve regarding these mutants. On paper, the alliances had employed medics to observe their development while helping them to recover from the induced mutation. Though they had not exhibited any adverse change during this period, their existence was still a problem the alliance wished to be rid of.

Qin Feng explained, “I am more than pleased if anyone of you is willing to stay put and fight for Shadong Town. I will also distribute shares of Shadong Town to those who stay accordingly. Besides, I will also be going to Longchuan soon. So, anyone who wishes to take another step further can go with me.”

Everyone was stunned by what Qin Feng had just declared.

One person from the crowd hesitated and asked, “General, do you mean we will be collaborating with you, or…?”

Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Feng knew what he was trying to ask.

“I will be constructing a mercenary troop for the time being, which I wish to develop into an organization in the future. I will be the sole leader of this mercenary. Anyone who wishes to join can tell me directly now. Those who want to stay in Shadong Town will also be automatically enlisted under the mercenary. I will be the one paying your salary.”

As such, the others confirmed Qin Feng’s intention. He did not mean to work with them as equals but Qin Feng was recruiting them as his underlings.

That did not usually happen between people from the same tier.

In the past, Yan Fang which was at D8-tier had also created the Freemen Alliance to recruit subordinates. In the end, he only managed to persuade five people to follow him.

At present, other than the ten subordinates under Gao Yukang, how many from the ninety would be willing to work under Qin Feng?

The key point here was that Qin Feng was only a D4-tier user.

They would rather choose Gao Yukang, a C-tier governor, over Qin Feng.

But at the same time, they also understood that joining Qin Feng now was not the same as joining him after he had become established. They would be more appreciated if they fight alongside Qin Feng from the very beginning.

Xue Xingfu, who was in charge of Shadong Town’s finance, was the best example. They learned that Xue Xingfu started off as an F-tier troop leader. Now, not only had he become stronger but he was also given substantial power by Qin Feng.

“General, I am willing to join your mercenary!” Surprisingly, Gao Li, who questioned Qin Feng earlier, was the first to express his loyalty.

“General, me too!” Chen Xiang stood up and did the same.

These two were considered close to Qin Feng.

The apt.i.tude users around them regretted not being the first to speak up and joined in succession. In the end, thirty attendees took Qin Feng’s offer in the meeting.

Qin Feng was only a D4 tier and not even the highest rank in the room.

However, his capability and leaders.h.i.+p were undeniable.

Perhaps, he had a brighter future than Gao Yukang since he was only a seventeen-year-old teenager. His growth potential was seemingly infinite.

“Alright, I will confirm the count later. Meeting adjourned.” This was probably the last official D-tier meeting in Shadong Town.
