Chapter 1019: Chapter 621: Becoming a Mercenary, First Profits of War!

The Trist Merchant Group’s stationed area began bustling again.

The members of the group repacked their goods and, led by Trist, headed northwest towards Tusk City.

Soon, the group arrived in a secluded corner of the city.

During the latter part of the journey, shops along the road became scarce, replaced by various small and medium-sized arenas or military camps.

Trist led the merchant group to the front of a military camp, displaying the hand order given by the Terror Knight before being granted passage by the guarding zombies and ghosts.

Upon entering the camp, Fang Zhou surveyed the surroundings.

This military camp appeared to be the private camp of the Terror Knight.

Many such camps were seen along the way in Tusk City.

The outer walls of the camp were ten meters high, with Bronze-level zombies and ghosts patrolling as guards.

Several arrow towers were built inside the walls, housing magic energy giant crossbows.

As long as they hit, these giant crossbows could easily kill Silver Tier demons.

If the arrows within used high-value magic energy crossbow bolts, even Golden Tier demons couldn’t ignore them.

The undead visible throughout the camp were advanced zombies and ghosts.

These Bronze-level undead seemed to be the main units within the Blood War Furnace.

They were training in hundred-man formations, forming the most solid force within the Undead Army.

The Trist Merchant Group, led by a Golden Level corpse witch officer, reached a warehouse and began another round of busy activities.

They transported various weapons, armor, and consumables into the storeroom.

At this time, Trist took Fang Zhou towards the tallest building in the camp, which served as the office and residence of the Terror Knight leader.

As they walked, Trist advised Fang Zhou earnestly, "Mr. Fang Zhou, you must perform well this time; this Terror Knight is very wealthy and generous!"

Fang Zhou walked beside Trist, asking, "Mr. Trist, what do you think my hiring price should be?"

Trist’s expression remained unchanged, and he glanced around before saying softly, "The price...

Of course, it depends on what price the Terror Knight offers you. Do you intend to negotiate for a higher fee?"

Fang Zhou placed a hand on Trist’s shoulder, pulling him closer and said, "If the price offered by the master isn’t suitable... I definitely won’t accept his employment."

Trist’s face changed, and he quickly exclaimed, "What!!

This won’t do... are you crazy!

Dare to insult the dignity of the Undead Ruler, beware that this master will tear you apart."

Fang Zhou lightly patted Trist’s shoulder, saying, "Don’t worry, it won’t happen...

As long as the price is right, I’ll surely agree.

Otherwise, I’ll first tell the Terror Knight that my contract with your Trist Merchant Group has only a few days left..."

Trist’s expression turned to one of surprise and anger. He grabbed Fang Zhou’s hand, saying, "Wait..."

Trist slowed his pace, his mind racing.

After a brief pause, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, glared at Fang Zhou, and said, "Mr. Fang Zhou... you are utterly more wicked than a demon!"

"Before entering the city, I heard that the city’s lord, Full Moon Lord of Tusk City, is massively expanding troops in the Wailing Blood Plain.

And has released many Demon-Vanquishing Orders, allowing many high-tier undead and war mercenaries to clear out the Wailing Blood Plain for him.

The terror knights here are undoubtedly directly under the Lord of Tusk City.

If you’re interested, you can exchange your hiring payment for this Demon-Vanquishing Order.

If you don’t wish to toil in cultivating territory yourself, you can only ask for Blood Moon Coins instead.

Mr. Fang Zhou, I think with your strength, one hundred thousand Blood Moon Coins per month is a reasonable price!"

"Very well, Mr. Trist, thank you for your suggestion!" Fang Zhou warmly patted Trist’s shoulder and said.

Considering that he was unfamiliar with the Blood War Furnace, Fang Zhou thought that understanding the hiring price would definitely be less informed than a local like Trist.

With his advice, he could avoid having his "selling" price be too cheap.

After reflecting, Fang Zhou considered that if he could choose between the two options suggested by Trist, he would surely prefer the Demon Cleansing Territory.

After all, this would allow him to become the landlord, master of his domain.

With the help of Undead Blood Moon authority and Tomb Territory, he was confident about developing the land.

Compared to being a war mercenary, this was far superior.

Even though he’d need to bear profits and losses as a landlord, Fang Zhou believed he wouldn’t suffer a loss.

Is there any worker better than the undead in the world, even those undead willing to labor for thousands of years without complaints?

With so many workers to exploit, Fang Zhou felt certain he wouldn’t be at a loss as long as he could maintain his territory in the Wailing Blood Plain.

Otherwise, relying on the fixed wage for war mercenaries, how long would it take to earn the desired heavenly and earthly treasures, or those high-tier undead spells?

After sorting out his thoughts, Fang Zhou said to Trist, "Mr. Trist, I hope to entrust you as my spokesperson to negotiate with the Terror Knight inside.

I want to obtain a Demon-Vanquishing Order; after success, there will be generous rewards!"
