Chapter 660 - Twists and Turns (1/2)
Looking at the group of generals in front of him, Schuck rubbed his forehead helplessly. “It’s not a matter of money—the problem is that you don’t have any.”
At those words, all the generals felt extremely insulted.
In this world, ninety-nine percent of those who could become generals were of noble origin, and as for the one percent, they were not too short of money after becoming generals of the Guardians of Light.
“Your Holiness, you may underestimate our fighting prowess, but you must never underestimate our financial prowess,” a very naive-looking general shouted, “especially in such matters that concern men’s happiness.”
It was indeed a matter of men’s happiness. Schuck looked at this simple-looking general and smiled.
This naive-looking man, whom he also knew, was the one who liked to use surprise tactics the most among all the generals and had a black heart.
Normally, this person would always wait for an opportunity to move, but now he took the initiative to step forward; he either had an ulterior motive, or he was truly charmed by the succubi.
But then on second thought, Schuck thought it would be the latter.
Being a Saint Samurai himself, he had no stake in it.
And most importantly, he heard that this man was quite lecherous. Perhaps it was the two reasons combined and the man was simply desperate to get a taste of a succubus.
Schuck said, “How much do you think it would cost to transfer a spot for a succubus to you from my people?”
“It shouldn’t be more than ten gold coins,” someone replied.
“Heh.” Schuck laughed. “The cost of the contract alone is already that much, and the line of people waiting for the contract is now over twenty to thirty thousand. My people have offered a price of twenty gold coins for a spot.”
Hearing this figure, these generals looked at each other.
Dinah, on the side, pursed her lips and laughed lightly for a moment.
This figure was already quite ridiculous.
Honestly, even Schuck was shocked by this figure.
Then the players realized that there were really a lot of tycoons amongst them.
Some people even asked rhetorically: “Not to mention the quota fee, plus the contract fee, it has to be thirty gold coins. A succubus converted into RMB, is about 450,000…” “Is it really worth it?” “What’s not worth it?”
In reality, it was impossible to get a girl like that for 450,000 RMB. And not only did the succubi make for great companions, they were also excellent assistants.
They could do a lot of things, such as scouting, fighting, and supporting.
Buy early and enjoy early!
This was the slogan of those who used the money to buy “spots.”
Hearing that it would cost around 30 gold coins in total, even these generals hesitated.
As good as the succubi were, gold coins posed a problem. No wonder the great Saint Samurai said we had no money. They really didn’t have money.
The generals were not willing to disperse, and after they conferred with each other for a while, the naive general asked, “Your Holiness, so, do your people accept physical collateral?”
“That should be fine.” Schuck thought about it and said, “They prefer hard currency, such as magic materials, properties, and certain industries.”
“That’s easy to handle.” The generals sighed in relief in unison.
They might not have much money, but each of them had a territory, large or small.
It was no problem to divide some out and exchange it for a succubus.
“Looks like you guys want to sell the land,” Schuck said with a smile. “I’ll go talk to them, then, and see if they’re willing.” “Then sorry to trouble Your Holiness.”
Schuck smiled and said, “You’re welcome. We’re all colleagues, we should help each other.” Then, Schuck smoothly formed a good relationship with these generals.
After all, Schuck was considered a Saint Samurai who appeared out of nowhere and had entered the Church of the Light just a little over three years ago.
A lot of connections needed to be established.
This was his first step to successfully enlist the mid-level forces of the church.
UICII.
Those Mages who were responsible for helping players contract succubi were delighted to hear about this.
Land and property were a great thing.
Love for land was rooted in the blood of the vast majority of the people of China.
Wherever they went, if they were to live there permanently, they’d want to have their own land and home.
So the contract Mages, directly putting the player spots aside, for now, helped all of the hundred or so generals contract a succubus. Almost every Mage was given a small estate.
They were also located near the capital of Fareins.
The locations were amazing.
The player Mages were happy, and the generals of the Guardians of Light were also happy.
The smiling generals returned with their succubi, and before they could enter their tents, they were brought by the guards into Schuck’s tent.

“Now you all have your own succubus.” Schuck looked around the group. “I know what you’re thinking, but women can’t stay in the army for long, except for Saint Samurai. Even William was transferred back by me, so what are your thoughts.”
The group of generals wore embarrassed expressions, and no one spoke.
Schuck continued, “So take the succubi back two kilometers, set up camp by yourselves, and teach them the common sense of the main plane. Also, Dinah and I will take over your management for the time being. In two days, you will have the succubi wait at the portal by themselves, and then you will return to the army and take charge of your troops again, is that clear?”
The generals froze and then rejoiced. “Understood.”
Schuck nodded, while a notification appeared in the system that his reputation in the army had, again, increased considerably.
It had been quite busy on Roland’s side too.
Andonara woke up.
Whether it was an illusion or not, she seemed to be more beautiful.
Her physical qualities greatly improved again and her combat power was much stronger.
Roland had barely been able to see her combat moves after reaching level twelve, and now he couldn’t see them again.
The good thing, though, was that he could still break her defense. It was just that the bite of the vise was a little stronger and Roland was just more prone to back pain.
After Andonara recovered, she took over Christina’s job and began guarding the patch of Inferno Grass.
Roland, on the other hand, began to greet the players coming from all over the place.
They had all come to ask Roland for help with the equality contract.
Not everyone liked succubi.
Roland had said on the forum that the rules of the contract were to bring their own materials and each person had to pay three gold coins for the contract fee.
If he didn’t sleep, Roland could perform hundreds of contracts a day.
But instead of doing that, he set a quota of one hundred per day.
Then his free time was spent studying magic.
