Chapter 229: Rise In Power (2/2)
Before they got onto the street with the Mercenary Union, Jian Chen and the five captains split ways. Then, with the remaining members from the Tianxiong clan guards and the two elders, Jian Chen entered the union.
Within the Mercenary Union, there were a total of forty three guards and the two Great Saint Master elders who then underwent a few procedures and became official members of the Flame Mercenaries.
Within these forty three people, there were unexpectedly sixteen Saint Masters The remaining twenty seven were all at the Great Saint level. With these people and the seven Great Saint Master experts, it could be said without exaggeration that the previously unknown and small scaled Flame Mercenaries had become one of the strongest powers in Wake City almost instantly.
Although the amount of strength the Flame Mercenaries could utilize had exploded instantly, the rank of the mercenary group was still at the C rank. If they wanted to increase their ranking, they would have to accomplish many missions first.
After all the procedures were done, Jian Chen led the entire group out of the Mercenary Union when suddenly Jian Chen heard a loud sound call out to him.
“Brother Jian Chen, I’ve finally found you.”
Jian Chen immediately stopped moving forward out of the Mercenary Union and then subconsciously turned to look in the direction of the call. As he turned his head, he saw the man who he had only just separated from two days ago; Hudolf, the captain of the Loyal Spirit Mercenaries came running up to him,
Arriving at Jian Chen’s side, Hudolf had a look of surprise at all of the people behind him but immediately turned back to look at Jian Chen. “Brother Jian Chen, if I may be so bold to ask, but perhaps you could agree to my request?”
Smiling, Jian Chen replied to him, “Captain Hudolf, speak whatever it is on your mind.” When it came to Hudolf, Jian Chen had a rather favorable opinion of him and so he was polite to the man.
“Brother Jian Chen, I wish to join your mercenary group and travel with you from today on forward. Will you agree to my request?” Hudolf was rather embarrassed as he spoke; he was already fifty years old, yet he was asking to wander around the continent with a twenty year old, truly this was an awkward question for him to ask.
Hearing the words of Hudolf, Jian Chen was utterly surprised. This request of his was something that Jian Chen had not expected.
Despite feeling shocked in his heart, Jian Chen quickly calmed himself down, “Haha, so even captain Hudolf wishes to travel with me around the Tian Yuan Continent? Then this one would be honored to have you, but captain Hudolf, how will you deal with the Loyal Spirit Mercenaries?”
“After you left yesterday I’ve already made my peace with the Loyal Spirit Mercenaries. My captain position has already been given to a capable brother to uphold, meaning that I am no longer a part of the Loyal Spirit Mercenaries.” Pointing behind him, he introduced five men that stood close by, “These five men you’ve seen before. They are my brothers and left the Loyal Spirit Mercenaries with me in hopes that we could travel with brother Jian Chen once more.” Hudolf’s eyes looked distant as he thought back to when Jian Chen had easily killed that warbeast. With so much power at such a tender young age pointed out that Jian Chen was anything but ordinary. So after consideration, Hudolf had decided to abandon the dozen years of hard work he had put to become the leader of the Loyal Spirit Mercenaries and instead became a follower of Jian Chen.
Jian Chen looked at the five people behind Hudolf. These five weren’t unfamiliar at all, they were the Saint Master experts from the Loyal Spirit Mercenaries! Jian Chen wouldn’t decline their request to join his Flame Mercenaries and immediately led the six in to deal with the official procedures to join the Flame Mercenaries as six new capable Saint Masters.
At this moment, the heavily armored commander Duo Li came into view with two guards at his side. Immediately walking up to Jian Chen, he cupped his hands together and smiled, “Brother Jian Chen, the lord wishes for you to come up to his mansion for a small talk regarding some important matters.”
