Chapter 848 Long Live

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Amanda was arranged to wait in a tent at the outermost encampment of the Black Mercenary Corps, This was equivalent to a messenger room at the outskirts of the base. No one could see any secrets in the base. Anyone visiting would be sent from the messenger room to the upper echelons of the Black Mercenary Group. No one was allowed to barge in without permission. Otherwise, they would be considered to be at war with the Black Mercenary Group.

Therefore, Major General Amanda's performance in the communication room was extremely calm.

If Aresis, known as the king of mercenaries, died in battle, would the 20,000 elites of the Black Mercenary Corps still be controlled by the Military Army?

On this issue, Amanda had no confidence in herself, Although the Black Mercenary Group was the largest mercenary group in the world, However, that was only due to their numbers and strength, Guild Leader Aresis has been busy expanding in recent years, causing internal management to remain chaotic, The notion of the strong being the prey of the weak is still the mainstream in the mercenary corps, Aresis was able to sit firmly in the position of Guild Leader when he was alive because he had enough personal strength and prestige. Now, not to mention that he was dead, even if he was alive, once another expert stronger than him appeared in the mercenary group, the position of Guild Leader might immediately change.

High personal prestige?

This was entirely based on one's own strength, and one's strength was inferior to others. What was the use of prestige?

To be exact, this was a system that no team, group, army, or even country could accept.

It was undoubtedly unhealthy for a power to rely solely on its personal prestige.

The emperor was as powerful as a royal family. When the emperor was at his peak, there was also a queen behind him who controlled everything in the royal family in an orderly manner. However, the black mercenary corps did not have such a situation. Aresis was too confident. Although he did not think that he was invincible under the heavens, he did not think that his position as captain would be unstable.

It wasn't that there weren't many people in the Dark World who were stronger than him, but there weren't many of them either. Those people basically didn't have any thoughts towards the Black Mercenary Group.

Since that was the case, why did he still have to work so hard to establish such a thanklessly healthy order and system?

This was completely unnecessary.

From the perspective of a leader, relying on his personal prestige and strength to lead an organization, he would definitely gain much more power than leading an orderly and disciplined organization.

Thus, while Aresis was alive, not only did he not rectify the Black Mercenary Group, he intentionally mythologized himself as he continued to expand, trying to penetrate the hearts of everyone in the Black Mercenary Group with his own strength.

The titles of Mercenary King and Dark Demon King were a byproduct of Aresis's myth of himself.

When Aresis was alive, no one could say that his actions were wrong. This was completely different from establishing a normal order within the Black Mercenary Group. The former was infinitely too high in status, while the latter was for the sake of the Black Mercenary Group.

Aresis's actions could only be considered selfish at best. As long as he didn't die, the Black Mercenary Group would always be under his control.

However, the problem now was that Aresis was dead, and the process of mythology itself was too short. It was far from enough for the people of the Black Mercenary Group to believe in him as a god.

At most, they admired Aresis's strength.

The death of Aresis might make a small portion of the elites of the Black Mercenary Group angry, but more people would only feel fear.

They admired Aresis's strength, but now that even Aresis had been killed, one could imagine how powerful the enemy was. Under such circumstances, not many people were willing to stand up for Aresis. Most of them were planning to find another backer to survive.

Moreover, the murderer who killed Aresis was said to have perished with Aresis. He didn't even have a goal to seek revenge, so who would care about Aresis?

Therefore, before coming here, General Amanda had already realized that the outcome of this visit would not be too optimistic.

Almost all of the 20,000 elites of the Black Mercenary Group had to come to battle under Aresis's high-handed orders. War with the Divine Continent Empire and war with the royal family was something that could numb the scalps of most people in the Dark World. Although they had come, their resistance was quite strong.

Now that Aresis was dead, who could expect these 20,000 elites to continue to serve the US army?

At the very least, Amanda had never expected that with Aresis's death, there was less than a ten percent chance that 20,000 elites of the Black Mercenary Group would continue to serve the US army.

In a military operation or even a war, this possibility was simply too low to be expected.

But Amanda had to come.

He had no choice.

This time, tens of thousands of meters of troops gathered in Luo De Town, The troops had no advantage over the drug dealers in Dark Town, Originally, the two Marine Corps' flying brigades had a very powerful air-defense capability, but this advantage was cancelled out by the Hansmich Group's air defense forces. The only thing the US army could do now was to make use of the regular army, which was far more powerful than the drug dealers in terms of overall combat strength.

But similarly, they still didn't know how many experts Dark Town was hiding. If there were too many experts, it was very likely that they would once again cancel out the advantage of their regular army's combat strength.

Scana and Teglas had no choice. They could only gather so many troops within the time limit. Whether they were confident or not, they had to attack.

Amanda had originally thought that there was at least a fifty percent chance of victory in this war, However, who would have thought that the Rhodes Town's Rice Army would mutiny in the next few hours? Although it was quickly suppressed, the process of suppression was extremely bloody. In a short period of time, more than 10,000 people were killed. The Rice Army, which had no advantage in numbers, was directly at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

This was especially true for the Giant Elite Division. This was the most elite force in the four southwestern states of the United States. However, such an army had lost nearly half of its strength in the mutiny. The deaths of more than 3,000 elite infantry division warriors were equivalent to at least 10,000 to 20,000 regular troops in terms of combat strength.

Right now, the entire Rhodes Town was completely gloomy. The Military Army had no intention of fighting, and the officers were irritable. With such morale, if they wanted to attack Dark Town, Amanda could easily come up with a result.

If they attacked Dark Town, their chances of victory would definitely not be higher than convincing the 20,000 elites of the Black Mercenary Group to continue to contribute to the United States.

However, these twenty thousand elites of the Black Mercenary Group had to be fought for. With them, there was still hope of victory. If they refused to participate in the battle, Teglas and Scana would immediately order an attack.

Amanda really didn't know what the outcome of this war would be besides sending her own people to their deaths.

Therefore, the elites of the 20,000 Black Mercenary Group had become the key to the outcome of the war in Dark Town. Amanda knew that it was difficult to convince them, but he had no choice but to come. He had also made urgent preparations for this.

At a time like this, it was very difficult for the United States to suppress others, and after the death of Aresis, it was naturally even more impossible for their swaying Horvington Group to suppress others.

So Amanda's plan was to be attractive.

This time, he brought higher hire fees and greater sincerity to negotiate, hoping that the 20,000 elites of the Black Mercenary Group could help in the war. For this reason, he even brought two colonels and three lieutenant colonels to serve in the US military. As long as James, the deputy commander of the Black Mercenary Group, could agree to fight, then all of these belonged to the Black Mercenary Group.

Amanda had originally planned to bring a brigadier general here, but Scana had rejected her idea.

Although the items in his hands were equally attractive, Amanda was not confident in convincing the Black Mercenary Group.

A neat sound of footsteps came from outside the tent.

General Amanda, who was thinking nonsense, subconsciously raised his head.

In his line of sight, six fully armed elites of the Black Mercenary Group walked in expressionlessly.

"General Amanda?"

Among the six elites, the captain standing at the front asked expressionlessly, his tone cold.

"Yes, I am Amanda, one of the senior Marine Corps staff officers. Yes..."

"Alright."

Before Amanda could finish her sentence, the captain said impatiently, "Deputy Commander James wants to see you. Follow me."

Amanda frowned, but did not say anything else. No matter what, he was still a general in the Rice Army. With his status, not only did he not have James to personally welcome him, the other party had instead randomly sent a small team to bring him over. This was no longer a matter of rudeness, it was simply arrogance.

But under the eaves, Amanda could only lower her head and follow the six elites of the Black Mercenary Group towards James' tent.

The six elites firmly surrounded Amanda in the center. The muzzle of the submachine gun in their hands was always aimed at his body, intentionally or unintentionally. The hostility was extremely obvious.

Amanda's heart had been sinking, and he had little hope of negotiating this time.

"Go in!"

The six of them brought Amanda to a tent in the center of the camp. The captain said coldly and directly pushed Amanda into the tent.

'"Very good, James. You are a smart person. I appreciate your personality. I can promise you that as long as you help Hansmich Group defend Dark Town, the Black Mercenary Group will become the sixth legion of the Imperial Clan in the future. The code name will be Black. You will be the leader!"

As soon as Amanda stepped onto the screen, a calm and indifferent voice rang out from within the tent.

There's a video call going on in the tent.

At this moment, Deputy Commander James was bowing respectfully and listening to a man's lecture on the screen in front of him.

It was an ordinary looking eastern man, ordinary and inconspicuous, but the moment Amanda saw him, her eyes seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and her pupils contracted abruptly.

"Emperor?!"

Amanda screamed.

"This is?"

On the screen, the Emperor raised his eyebrows and asked casually.

"After Aresis died, this is the representative sent by the Military Force to renegotiate with us, a..."

"I'm General Amanda, Senior Marine Corps Staff Officer. James, do you really dare to betray the United States?"

Amanda shouted angrily before James could finish.

"Betrayal? I'm a Gaulean. What do I do have to do with betraying the United States?"

James casually glanced at Amanda and sighed, "You don't actually have actual command of the army. What a pity, Senior Staff Officer? What is that? Not enough weight."

"Enough weight. Although I don't have any real power, the military ranks there are quite valuable."

On the screen, the Emperor suddenly spoke.

James was stunned for a moment, then smiled sinisterly and said, "I understand."

He instructed the guards beside him to directly press down on Amanda's body, pulled out a pistol, and aimed it at the center of Amanda's eyebrows.

"Bastard! James, you bastard, you dare to betray us, you..."

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out.

James interrupted Amanda's conversation without hesitation.

"Is betraying the Military Army scary? Betraying His Majesty is the scariest thing. General, you are too naive."

James smiled calmly.

Amanda's body was still twitching on the ground, her gaze becoming increasingly dim.

James, who had personally killed Amanda to cast his name for the emperor, quietly turned around and bowed again to the screen in front of him, saying respectfully, "Long live the royal family, long live His Majesty."
