390 Commandeering (1/2)
”Let me rephrase this! The Black Tower is commandeering your Three Great Mercenary Groups!” Solan glared coldly at the trio.
”Commandeering? With just you?”
The irascible Dean sneered as he looked at Solan, some faint sparks flickering over his body. With the power of a 3rd Rank Sword Saint, Dean wasn't putting Solan in his eyes.
Solan was still a High Mage when Dean had become a Sword Saint.
But, at that time.
A voice suddenly echoed.
”Okay, stop there. Your three mercenary groups seemed to have forgotten that the Black Tower isn't discussing with you, we are taking you over! Do you not know what that means…?”
Everyone felt a huge power descending when that voice suddenly appeared.
That power was unfathomable. Delson and Rolf, those rarely seen experts, didn't have any thought of resisting that power. The Line Canyon seemed to have been silenced, the trio's faces turning ashen.
They instantly understood. Solan wasn't alone, he had a more powerful existence behind him.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.
Speaking of which, that person who appeared... He was an old man in his sixties, seemingly no different from an ordinary old man. But he was emitting a frightening aura.
”Representative Weiss…” Delson felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that this man was one of the seven Representatives of the Black Tower Council.
Perhaps Solan couldn't represent the Black Tower earlier, but Representative Weiss could! The Council of Seven was almost the highest authority in the Black Tower.
”Representative Weiss, how come you are here?” Delson squeezed out a smile, his voice shivering, not from excitement, but from fear. ”Our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group obeys the Black Tower's command.”
Although they were both Archmages, he was only a 3rd Rank Archmage. He had no confidence when facing Weiss. He believed that as long as Weiss was willing, he would immediately end up dead.
Moreover, as a member of the Council of Seven, Weiss only needed to say one word to cause endless trouble for his mercenary group.
”Representative Weiss, we also wish to obey the Black Tower's command…”
Rolf and Dean glanced at each other and before helplessly looking at the other side. Since the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group had already admitted defeat, there was no meaning in standing against the Black Tower.
”I don't have time to waste on this. Solan, the three mercenary groups will follow your arrangements.” After saying this, the old man's silhouette disappeared.
The appearance of a Representative made the three wishful mercenary groups feel hopeless. They might be able to ignore Solan Monchi, but they couldn't ignore Representative Weiss.
Although the Vice Leaders and the Leader had some reputation in Okland, and countless people wanted to befriend them, they understood that they weren't on the same level as Weiss.
They gradually felt that the irresistible reward they had been thinking about was becoming more and more illusory.
The three mercenary groups, under Solan Monchi's guidance, rushed to the Black Tower's camp. The Line Canyon was indeed full of danger. The deeper they went, the more magic beasts they encountered.
In a bit over half a day, they encountered over a dozen waves of magic beasts. Fortunately, the three mercenary groups had plenty of people and didn't suffer many losses.
In the temporary meeting room of the three mercenary groups, Delson, Dean, and Rolf were gathered, quarreling over loot. This kind of scene would have never happened before. Before, the three mercenary groups needed to cooperate tightly in order to guarantee their safety.
With the Black Tower appearing and forcibly commandeering them, they were no longer able to complete the commission of the Odin Kingdom, so they couldn't rely on that extremely lavish reward...
Although they still cooperated, they weren't as close as before.
Lin Yun was sitting in a corner, not cutting into the conversation, frowning thoughtfully instead. The appearance of the Black Tower was beyond his expectations.
