Chapter 497: Chapter 374: A Whole New Attempt_1

“Your Excellency, please wait a moment!”

Just as Leo Ray and his subordinates were about to step into Redarrow City’s gate-

Donna’s anxious voice rang out from behind the group.

“What’s the matter?”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray didn’t stop, but continued walking while turning his head slightly to reply.

“Your Excellency, what exactly brings you to Redarrow City?” Donna sped up her pace and quickly caught up.

“Naturally, it’s to completely eliminate Rocky’s forces that are entrenched here.” Leo Ray said nonchalantly with a faint smile.

This time, although their group had only seven people, including Leo Ray.

However, with one Tier 5 Powerhouse, two Tier 4 Powerhouses, and four Tier 3 Powerhouses, their lineup was already quite luxurious.

Furthermore, according to custom, when Leo Ray left his territory-

He carried twenty-four Tier 3 three-star Earth Guardians and two Sky Guardians of the same rank on his person.

With such a force, dealing with a small town like Redarrow City, which was even smaller than Magnet Town, was undoubtedly more than enough.

“As expected…”

After hearing this, Donna immediately spoke up without hesitation, her face serious: “Your Excellency, even though you have extraordinary strength, you’re new to this area and unfamiliar with the terrain.

We are willing to act as your guides in gratitude for your help!”

At the same time, the young mercenary, middle-aged mercenary Roke, and the middle-aged patched-up priest beside her all showed determination in their faces and bowed to Leo Ray.

“We not only almost clashed with Redarrow City’s soldiers just now, but also want to guide these powerful people into the city.”

This is the craziest thing I’ve ever done in my life…I hope it’s not the last.”

At this moment, mixed emotions filled Roke’s heart, and he involuntarily swallowed his saliva.

As for the young and attractive mercenary, the look in his eyes when he looked at Leo Ray was already filled with unrestrained admiration; he was so excited that he could hardly speak.

“Acting as guides?”

At the city gate, Leo Ray slowly stopped and couldn’t help but show a contemplative expression.

Originally, he planned to eliminate Marquis Rocky’s forces entrenched in Redarrow City and then directly infiltrate Pinehaven City to settle the score with him.

After all, this guy had already developed a killing intent towards him and even sent spies to Cyan Town to gather intelligence, so he couldn’t be let off.

As for this city full of holes, Leo Ray didn’t have any special arrangements in mind.

He could imagine how difficult and time-consuming it would be to start from scratch and rebuild a defense army here.

Therefore, Leo Ray only instructed Milan Town, the nearest city under his control, to prepare for receiving civilians seeking refuge.

“If that’s the case, hiring a group of trustworthy mercenaries to guard the city for a long time might be a good choice.”

Having this thought, Leo Ray’s eyebrows slightly raised, and with a movement of his mind, a shining gold coin appeared in his hand.

“There are 19 Gold Dragons here.”

After putting the gold coins into Donna’s hand, Leo Ray continued indifferently: “Your team has a total of ten people.

With one Tier 2 Powerhouse and nine Tier 1 Level mercenaries, the Tier 2 Powerhouse gets 10 coins, and the Tier 1 Level gets 1 coin each.

Consider this your wages for today, and our employment contract can be of long-term effect.

After cooperating with me in completely purging this area-

Your mission is simple: defend this city and prevent any external threats.”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for anyone else to react-

Leo Ray waved his hand, and ten chests full of golden coins appeared before everyone.

At this moment, under the shining of two brilliant suns-

Gold Dragon coins filled the delicate treasure chests to the brim, reflecting dazzling golden rays of light.

This scene immediately stirred up waves among the surrounding crowd and subsequent arriving teams.

Undoubtedly, not only these mercenaries but also the merchants who hired them had rarely seen such a large amount of Gold Dragons appear at once!

For a moment, thirst and astonishment filled countless eyes, and exclamations of surprise echoed from all directions.

“My God, that’s at least one hundred thousand Gold Dragons!”

“No wonder he’s one of the Princes’ men. Such deep pockets are indeed terrifying.”

“One Gold Dragon per day? In that case, a common Tier 1 Level mercenary will get 30 Gold Dragons a month!

You know, even a Tier 1 Peak Level veteran mercenary, on a good day, can only earn at most 15 Gold Dragons a month!”

“Yeah, like for a rookie mercenary like me, I can only earn 8 Gold Dragons a month.”

“I’m at the Tier 2 Peak Level, and the most I’ve ever made in a month was 130 Gold Dragons.

If I follow this gentleman, wouldn’t I be making 300 Gold Dragons a month? It’s unbelievable!”

“The most important thing is that this is a defense-oriented task that ordinary people can hardly come across. It’s almost no different from a vacation!”

Listening to this, Leo Ray continued to maintain a faint smile.

When they had first taken control of Cyan Town, he had already deeply researched the monthly income of mercenaries.
