Chapter 2524 Li Daitao is stiff

As a 'family business' that almost covers all the young and middle-aged men of the Loya tribe, the number of people in the [Destruction King Mercenary Group] is maintained between 2 and 5 most of the time, among which the ratio of elites, backbones and newcomers is about 3::.

As far as Mo Tan and others know, the reason why the [Destroyer Mercenary Group] with relatively few members was able to be promoted to an A-level mercenary group is largely because its high-end combat capability is very online. After all, other groups may not lack epic warriors like the leader Largo and the deputy leader Limrhein, but the main force group with nearly a hundred people whose physical strength is infinitely close to the half-step epic and can even burst out at the full "half-step" level for more than ten minutes in extreme cases is enough to make other colleagues drool with envy.

But no matter how envious they are, no one is willing to recruit a large number of Highlanders to replicate an identical lineup. The main reason is that the cost-effectiveness of doing so is simply negative.

Simply put, they cannot afford it, and considering the professional coordination, most people are willing to use the same money to build a special forces regiment that is armed to the teeth, with long-range, melee, physical, mystical, healing, tanks, scouts, and logistics, rather than hundreds of Highlander troops with a single composition and highly homogeneous advantages and disadvantages.

But the most important reason is that it is too expensive.

You know, although the [Wrecker Mercenary Group] looks very luxurious, these Highlanders who are very popular in the mercenary world have almost no income compared to other members of the same tribe. The huge amount of rewards brought by A-level tasks are basically used by them to purchase food, so that the tribe members can survive the [decline period].

As for personal remuneration, sorry, there is no such thing. Even though there is a lot of surplus every quarter, after paying for the base rent, equipment maintenance, and consumption and supplies, the remaining funds are not sufficient. After Largo inherited the mercenary group, all the change that should theoretically be distributed to everyone for free consumption was used by him to make various arrangements to ensure the normal, healthy and strong development of the mercenary group.

To sum up, with the members of the [Wrecker Mercenary Group] already working for free, everyone has almost no income during the years when Largo was the leader. Although they are definitely not so poor that they don't have money to eat out, considering that Haroni and others have to save for two months to buy a skirt, while other core members of the A-level mercenary group can earn enough money for three years of clothes in a month, it is clear how tight their financial situation is.

Of course, Largo's "management" was by no means in vain. Under his management, the mercenary group's connections, income and influence have made a qualitative leap. Not only have they been able to receive more and more missions and regular customers, their income has increased several times compared to more than a decade ago. The quality of everyone's equipment, daily meals and training conditions have also leapt to at least one level. These visible changes naturally made his personal prestige soar, and he became an outstanding leader widely loved by his compatriots.

According to Largo's plan, as long as he tightened his belt and held on for a few more years, [The King of Destruction] would be able to buy a small headquarters in Ankar that would be smaller than the current base but completely his own. By then, this would become another home for the Loya tribe outside the Savage Highlands, and then...

Mo Tan and Bilge didn't know what happened next, but they both could guess that after settling in their 'new home', Largo would probably retreat to the second line because he was about to enter the [decline period], and ask his successor to find a scholar named Peggy Clark Scheler, and ask her to lead everyone on Largo's road to rise, which was destined to have no end.

It's a pity that Largo left too early, and with him was the scholar whom he regarded as hope and beacon.

The dead are gone, and the living must continue to move forward. Although Largo and Peschi have stopped at the last stop forever, neither Burge nor the other young men of the Destroyer Mercenaries have the capital to indulge in the sadness of losing their leader and family for too long.

The world will not stop turning because of any one person's sadness. Those who cannot cheer up are destined to fall in the cruel competition.

Mo Tan was very clear about this truth, and he also knew that neither Burge nor the other members of the mercenary group were that weak, but even so, he still wanted to do his part to help everyone cheer up.

As for the worry about whether Burge would be criticized by his compatriots after his return, it had long disappeared in the irrepressible smile of joy on Nar's face when he saw the former.

So the good news is that the [Wreck-It Ralph] mercenary group is more united, pure, and cohesive than Mo Tan imagined.

The bad news is that compared to previous expectations, pressure and crisis come much faster in reality!

At this moment, the deputy leader Limrein who was on a mission in the southwest continent took away almost all the elite members of the [King of Destruction Mercenaries], leaving only the backbone forces who were strong enough but not up to the "A-level" standard in the Ankh Market.

There is no way, because the scale of the Destroyer is much smaller than the average level of Class A, so every time they receive a high-quality mission, they generally need all the elites to come out in full force. Usually in this situation, the two captains will split their forces into two groups, one leading the team to do the mission, and the other staying in the base to handle daily affairs.

In Burge's words, Largo would lead the team himself in most cases, while the other epic warrior of the King of Destruction, Deputy Captain Rimlaine, would stay behind to ensure that any unexpected situations could be properly handled in the first place.

But unfortunately——

Because when they received the commission from the Silver Wing Alliance, it was a special period when Largo was personally leading the team to return to the Savage Highlands to deliver food to Loya. After a brief discussion, Deputy Captain Rimlaine became the leader of the Silver Wing Alliance heading south, leading the King of Destruction's most elite forces to leave the Ankh Market.

After all, it is extremely important to maintain good relations with the Silver Wing Alliance, which has great influence and is terrifyingly large in scale in the southwest continent. In addition, the Ankh Market is not far from the Savage Highlands, and there are many friends that Largo has made over the years in the local area who can be taken care of, so it is not difficult to make the above decision, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.

However, no one could have foreseen that the team leader, who had set out on his journey home one morning not long ago and had agreed with everyone to eat and drink to his heart's content at home before rushing back, would never return.

To make matters worse, the Unicorn Mercenary Group, which was supposed to be destroyed by Haroni and others, was strangely "resurrected", and -

"We are no match at all."

Haroni gnashed her teeth and clenched her fists, saying, "Although we have the advantage in numbers, those... who claim to be members of the Unicorn Mercenary Group are all incredibly strong, and I swear on my weapon that each of them has at least dozens of lives on their hands."

Burge's expression became increasingly gloomy, and after a while he continued to ask, "Are there any epic poems?"

"No."

Before Haroni could speak, Zar shook his head and said seriously, "Except for the fact that they are not the same people, the basic information of those guys is the same as that of the Unicorn Mercenaries."

Bilger frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Among the fifty-nine members of the Unicorn Mercenary Group, there are a total of thirty-seven males and twenty-two females, of which fifty-seven are high-level and two are mid-level. The occupation ratio is: three knights, nine mages, five thieves, seven rangers, six monks, three shamans, eight priests, ten warriors, two alchemists, one pharmacist, three warlocks, and two field engineers."

Zar pushed his glasses and turned to Bilge and said in a deep voice, "As for the 'resurrected' Unicorn Mercenary Group, the number, gender ratio, and occupation ratio are exactly the same as the above data. So there are only 57 high-level and two mid-level groups in that data, so naturally there is no possibility of an epic group."

Alkik took a deep breath and said grimly, "Even so, we are no match for those guys. It would be fine if the seniors of the main group were here, but if it weren't for Nar risking his life to cover our retreat, if it weren't for our absolute advantage in numbers, if it weren't for Haroni decisively asking everyone to retreat after the first round of contact, we would have paid a heavy price."

"This is too outrageous."

Ji Xiaoge couldn't help but interrupt, frowning slightly and said, "We are so powerful, but we still suffered such a big loss, especially when the opponent doesn't have an epic. Hmm... I always find it a little hard to imagine."

Nymaya liked this beautiful winged sister very much. Upon hearing this, she immediately explained seriously, "That's not the case. Although we Highlanders have some unique advantages, we dare not call ourselves 'powerful'. You may not know that among the A-level mercenaries, we are far from being the most powerful. Whether it is the size of the group or the level of the members, we are at best at the middle level."

Ji Xiaoge pursed her lips: "But even so, that unicorn..."

"Even so, the Unicorn Mercenary Group is definitely not our opponent. It's one thing for us to be a little bit behind the A-level group, but if we can't even handle a C+-level group, it would be a joke."

Nymaya, who had guessed what Ji Xiaoge wanted to say, shook her head and emphasized, "But the team that took the initiative to provoke us not long ago and was eventually wiped out by us was a normal C-level team. The ones we met later... were not."

"I understand." Gu Xiaole took Ji Xiaoge's arm and said to the latter seriously, "The gap between the high-level ones has been widened. Little pigeon, think about it, even I have wiped out the entire opposing team alone countless times in the [Guilt Battle], but in principle, we are all 'high-level opponents of equal strength'."

Thinking about how [Haunted Church] was almost entirely won by Gu Xiaole in the early stages of the team battle, Ji Xiaoge immediately realized what was happening, and then asked Nymiya with a slightly bitter expression, "Not that bad, right?"

“That’s too much.”

Nymaya, who was considered underdeveloped among ordinary Highlanders, sighed and said helplessly, "But the results of the battle don't lie. Even though we got the upper hand, more than 20 of us were seriously injured in the first encounter. If it weren't for Haroni who risked her life to rush into the center of the battlefield and intimidated the enemy with her immature domain, the scene here would be completely different today."

Bilge was shocked when he heard this. He turned to Haroni, who had not been willing to look him in the eye, and asked in surprise: "Field? You..."

“Not exactly the field.”

Haroni interrupted Bilge unhappily, her tone sounding a little impatient: "I can feel that although I was able to control and even shape the 'cold' at that time, the process was extremely difficult, especially after we successfully retreated. I could hardly feel the existence of that 'field'."

But Burge didn't seem to accept the other party's 'explanation'. Instead, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know what you are doing?"

"Of course I know."

Haroni raised her head and answered without hesitation: "I have decided to study this field well."

"you……"

Bilge, who seldom showed any negative emotions towards Mo Tan and others, clenched his teeth and glared at the other party with a look full of indignation and anxiety.

"Wang Ba Wang Ba——"

Yaya, who was very sensitive to the atmosphere, quietly squatted down, tilted her head and asked Wang Ba beside her timidly: "What happened to Wang Erge? Why is he angry?"

"It's just stupid male chauvinism. He can't stand other girls being better than him."

Wang Badan rolled his eyes and complained sullenly, "I really don't understand this stupid mentality. If my wife is better at fighting than me, then I..."

"Then you will have to take at least ten beatings a day."

Mo Tan squeezed out these few words from between his teeth, and said in a bad tone: "Look carefully, Bilge is not that kind of person."

In line with the core idea that a good turtle does not suffer a loss in front of it, the turtle, who was almost kicked by Mo Tan and had a concussion just now, retracted his head into the shell without hesitation and stopped talking.

Yaya hugged Mo Tan's shoulders from behind, wagging his tail and curiously whispering in the latter's ear: "Will Mo Tan mind that Wang is stronger than Wang?"

"Wouldn't mind."

Mo Tan shook his head, then thought of the girl's hidden illness which could only be cured if her strength was greatly improved, but the stronger her strength was, the more likely it was to break out. He smiled bitterly and said, "But I am worried."

"Woof what?"

"Don't I always worry about things?"

"There is Wang Li!"

Mo Tan smiled, and just when he wanted to comfort Ya Ya and make this lively girl behave herself, an excited roar suddenly came from not far away.

"Are you crazy?!"

Bilge took a step forward, staring at Haroni, who was about half a head taller than him, and said angrily, "Give up this stupid idea, Haroni!"

"Do not."

"Do you know what 'realm' means to us?"

"Greatly accelerates the arrival of the [decline]."

"So you still want to study it?"

"Correct."

"Why?!"
