Chapter 233 Nightmare Moon

Chapter 233 Nightmare Moon
I have to say that Sophie and Shura are geniuses when it comes to the burning array.

This newly improved wind spirit magic formation can actually increase the speed of soldiers within a certain range by nearly 10%.

You know, this is almost half the effect of the initial stage of demonic weaponry.

But the latter can only work on one person, while this one can cover at least a dozen fighters.

Just for this reason, no matter how Sophie "tortured" him, he would never complain.

Luckily, Sean showed up.

Unfortunately, it's another hassle.

"Raven, there is a big problem now.

We have recruited enough high-level mercenaries, but we are running out of armor and weapons.

Since the garrison was established in Wei Na City, they have also started recruiting soldiers from all over the place, and all the armor and weapons have been requisitioned by the army."

"Half of the old mercenaries have been converted to air cavalry this time. They have new equipment. Where are their original armor?"

“I’ve taken that into account, but there’s still a big gap.”

"Well, you guys go to Balarenka and buy some there."

"I sent someone there, but they couldn't buy it there either."

Now Raven was in a dilemma.

"Well, I'll go to the Gray Region to buy it."

“That’s going to cost a fortune.”

"Gold coins that can't be spent are useless. I'm going to the Gray Region tomorrow."

"Oh, that's the only way it can be."

Raven walked on the streets of Wina City with Angel and Lanster.

The place was filled with solemnity at this moment.

The streets were full of cavalry, and this city, ranked fifth by Lennon, was transformed into a frontier fortress against foreign invaders.

Those who dare to enter and leave the city at this time are mostly brave mercenaries and adventurers.

They are used to living on the edge of a knife and have long been indifferent to life and death.

The secret location in the Gray Area has not been evacuated.

This was within Raven's expectations, as those people were also indifferent to life.

But unlike mercenaries, they live a life in the dark.

The object of their transaction this time was still the Candle Snake.

Now the two sides have reached a tacit understanding, and the other party even waived Riven's handling fee.

After coming out of the Candle Snake, the three of them went to other areas.

Raven wanted to see what else he could buy.

When passing by an area, he discovered that there was actually a hiring business there.

Raven's heart suddenly moved.

A while ago he originally wanted to recruit high-level warriors, but in the end only less than ninety people showed up.

There are dangerous factors in this, but Riven gradually realized that high-level warriors are not like fish in the river, there are plenty of them if you want them.

In reality they are limited in number.

So his second phase of recruitment plan had to be put on hold, but at this time he had an idea.

The person who received him was also a man in a black robe, but from the sound of his voice it was a woman.

"Welcome to Nightmare Moon."

Raven got straight to the point: "I want to hire a group of warriors."

"No problem. Do you want to hire dark mercenaries or war slaves?"

"I want to know more first. Can you introduce the dark mercenaries?"

"Haha, it turns out she's a chick."

The woman laughed hoarsely and said:

"Well, since I'm in a good mood, I'll tell you.

Dark mercenaries are a profession formed by free men, adventurers, outcasts and even criminals of various races.

They separated themselves from their race, lived in the human world and made a living as hired labourers.

Because they cannot see the light, they are called dark mercenaries."

"Mercenaries belong to the Mercenary Guild, while dark mercenaries belong to the Gray Realm," the woman concluded.

"Is that so? Can you tell me about their race?"

“That’s a lot.

They include ancient survivors, frozen earth barbarians, sea descendants, wise people and moon spirits of various races.

If you can afford it, you can even hire a moon spirit, which is the moon spirit of God."

"Moon Spirit! You actually have such resources?" Riven was surprised.

If we were to tell who the owner of Qinglan was a thousand years ago, it would undoubtedly be Ji Yue Ling.

They ruled the sky and the land, and even the sea creatures were their subjects.

All intelligent life has lived in their shadow.

Although they were driven to the extreme west and north and were said to be on the verge of extinction, it is still frightening to mention it.

"of course!

Nightmare Moon is one of the top five organizations in terms of operating dark mercenaries."

The woman said proudly.

"Tell me, how many do you want to hire?" Raven thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.

Now that the Holy Alliance is approaching, even if he is short of manpower, he will not hire people from the alliance to fight against the alliance.

If they work together from inside and outside, I'll be in danger.

"And what about the war slaves?" he asked.

The woman was slightly dissatisfied.

The price of war slaves is much lower.

"They were captured as captives in war or as prey of slave traders.

Compared with the dark mercenaries, they are much weaker in strength, but they have the advantage of large numbers.

Why, are you interested?"

"I want a batch of war slaves. Tell me which ones they are."

“They have many varieties.

There are humans, musk people, mountain ghosts, frozen earth warriors, in short, there are people from all races."

She glanced at Hesa.

"Oh, and there are other wise beastmen like him."

"Wise orc!"

Hesa suddenly became angry and stared at the woman fiercely.

"You're arresting the wise orcs?"

"Put away that face of yours, or I'll be rude to you."

The woman sneered.

"I don't know how many hands these slaves passed through before they came to me. Go and look for them."

Raven stopped Hesa and asked in a deep voice: "How many wise orcs do you have?"

Now that he had encountered members of the Hesa tribe, he would certainly not ignore them.

"The organization has just traded a batch of about 400 recently. Do you want one?"

The woman seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

“It’s very expensive.”

"I want it all."

"Really?"

The woman became serious now and frowned, "Did you bring enough gold coins?"

Although she couldn't see his face clearly, the woman knew that Raven was not very old and was somewhat skeptical about his ability.

"How many gold coins in total?"

“Two hundred gold coins for each wise orc, a total of eighty thousand gold coins.

However, you will need to pay half of the deposit before the slave arrives."

"Two hundred gold coins! So expensive?" Angel exclaimed.

“Hey, Shan Gui is cheap, only fifty gold coins.

They come from the mountains of Heinxi and are best suited for rock climbing and jumping, but their strength is only a fraction of that of the wise orcs."

"That's settled. Also, you just mentioned that there are barbarians among the slaves?"

"Yes, do you want it too?"

Raven nodded.

"Haha, it seems I really underestimated you.

Musk people have long arms, are good at archery, and have great strength. As long as they are given a bow and arrow, they are no less powerful than Yue Ling.

But they are not cheap, also 200 gold coins per person."

"How much can you offer?"

“Two hundred at most.

The Musk People are the natives of the Bering region, and Borobensa has strict control over that region.

It’s just that this year is a disaster year, so the organization has used food to exchange for a few groups of refugees, and I only have the authority to protect 200 people.”

"Okay, I'll take two hundred.

So, I have to give you 60,000 gold coins as a deposit?"

"good."

Raven frowned, this was a large sum of money, and he was going to hand it over to the woman based on her words alone.

Raven always felt unsure.

They were not as familiar with him as Zhushe.

Moreover, he had given most of his gold coins to Sean, so he didn't have much on him now.

The woman didn't say anything either, just looked at him leisurely.

It seems like looking at a poor guy.

Damn, you dislike me?

Raven was furious, and he immediately took out two pieces of thunder cutters.

"Is this okay?"
