Chapter 1021: Chapter 622: Blood Moon Virtues, Calamity Team’s Explosive Combat Power

The Blood War Furnace is indeed a place that highly values order.

Even if this order is completely established and altered by the upper echelon, any order is better than the complete chaos like that of an Abyssal Demon.

Hiring Trist to negotiate on his behalf was indeed Fang Zhou’s most correct decision this time.

After a lengthy negotiation tug-of-war, Trist finally secured the conditions Fang Zhou desired.

By serving Hecarim for just half a year, he could receive Hecarim’s recommendation and obtain a Demon-Vanquishing Order from the Lord of Tusk City.

Additionally, during these six months, he would earn a monthly salary of 100,000 Blood Moon Coins.

Upon aiding Hecarim in winning the first large-scale battle, Fang Zhou could obtain two Silver-ranked Heavenly and Earthly Treasures from this Terror Knight.

Fang Zhou accepted the contract written in Soul Language.

During this time, he focused on learning various Undead scripts and runes, ensuring he could comprehend the meanings in the contract’s runes.

After checking the contract repeatedly, he finally left his Soul Fire imprint on it with caution.

Hecarim, seated on his throne, did not exhibit any impatience towards Fang Zhou’s actions.

Carefully reviewing the Blood Moon Contract is a virtue of every Undead.

The foolish ones who do not scrutinize contracts often end up enslaved for life.

After signing the contract, Trist and Fang Zhou left Hecarim’s palace.

Once outside, Trist’s legs gave way, nearly causing him to fall, but Fang Zhou supported him in time.

"Lord Fang Zhou, negotiating for you this time was quite a loss!

I almost got killed by Lord Hecarim just now!"

Trist’s voice turned hoarse, his calves trembling.

While supporting Trist, Fang Zhou handed him a coin pouch containing 30,000 Blood Moon Coins.

He smiled and said, "I witnessed your performance just now, Lord Trist. Truly a trustworthy and reliable Blood Moon Merchant.

Hence, I’ll add 10,000 more Blood Moon Coins to your reward!"

Immediately, Trist’s legs stopped trembling and his voice regained its clarity.

He quickly transferred the Blood Moon Coins into his space equipment: "Lord Fang Zhou, you truly are generous; you are the material for becoming an Undead Grand Lord!

If there’s ever more bargaining work like this, remember to come to me."

.......

Fang Zhou returned Trist to the merchant group, and next, they would go separate ways.

For the upcoming six months, Fang Zhou would need to accompany Hecarim, the Terror Knight.

Afterward, Fang Zhou, with the Bone Dragon Uriel, left the merchant group, holding his orders and seeking a military officer in Hecarim’s camp.

A logistics officer quickly led Fang Zhou to a room and left him there.

For the next while, this place would be Fang Zhou’s residence.

The camp was vast, ensuring Fang Zhou, a Golden Tier War Mercenary, wouldn’t be mistreated.

From this moment, Fang Zhou joined Hecarim’s forces, though he wasn’t assigned any combat tasks for now.

After Fang Zhou rested for two days, Hecarim sent a Resentful Spirit to convey his orders.

He instructed Fang Zhou to oversee and direct the Skeletons in constructing the camp’s defense, including but not limited to inscribing various runes onto the camp’s walls.

Fang Zhou did not refuse Hecarim’s order, for one must repay earnings by resolving troubles.

Thus, whenever there was no battle, Fang Zhou would spare time to supervise the Skeletons in reinforcing the camp’s walls.

Though Low Tier Skeletons lack independent consciousness, they indeed excel as tool handlers.

By infusing basic runes into their Soul Fire, these Skeletons would carry large buckets of solvent, engraving massive basic runes onto the walls.

........

For over a dozen days, Fang Zhou’s life was quite fulfilling.

Since the Calamity Special Operations Team had just reached full complement, Fang Zhou hadn’t been assigned any tasks here, while one newly-formed battalion reaped ample time for integration.

Following Fang Zhou’s mandate, any soldiers unable to endure the training intensity of the Calamity Special Operations Team were unconditionally eliminated.

Initially, the Calamity Special Operations Team’s daily elimination rate was as high as 30% or more.

Leng Feng almost daily had to procure recruitment proof from Fang Zhou to enlist soldiers from major preparatory battle groups.

Due to Lieutenant General Ning’s authorization, the officers from preparatory battle groups dared not make things difficult for the Calamity Special Operations Team.

They could only grumble a few words privately, yet they had to send soldiers batch after batch.

Eventually, fed-up battalion officers simplified matters by allowing Leng Feng to personally select soldiers with robust physiques.

This way, soldiers previously screened by Leng Feng showed evident improvement in quality.

Moreover, with Fang Zhou leading by example through daily drills, within half a month, the number of eliminations gradually stabilized, and the daily training count found its steadiness.

After half a month’s drills, the 20 companies under the Calamity Special Operations Team began to form distinct identities.

For instance, the elite company led by Leng Feng comprised all burly and stout men.

Leng Feng’s character predestined he wouldn’t easily become a great general, yet his bold and candid disposition made him more likely to gain followers’ allegiance.

Of course, his unmatched Divine Power also played a significant role in it.
