Chapter 145 JMCJoshe Mercenary Company.
Violier Josh eventually formed a mercenary company and absorbed the Awoken under Locke.
The current number of people, including them and the mercenaries of Hatchamp De Bole, totaled 30 people.
It wasn’t a small number, but compared to the Free African Mercenary Federation… it was a very humble person.
After all, it was created by a coalition of arms dealers and several foreign mercenaries.
The weapons were very diverse and the firepower was strong. Arms merchants made their own investments.
“Five? Brother, can you speak English?”
Yoon Tae-sung responded to the words of the mercenary who was approaching.
“How much is this?”
What he asked was the anti-material sniper rifle that Tae-Sung Yoon was holding.
“Well? Because I didn’t buy it with money. How about this than that? It’s a potion, and it’s very effective in recovering stamina and healing wounds. It has a great detoxifying effect.”
“I take a lot of medicines that are good for my body. Don’t you want to sell that gun?”
It can be used as a steel monster, so there is no problem in selling it, but I had no intention of selling it.
When transforming into a Specter, there may be occasions when it will be used.
“Think about ten million dollars.”
At Yoon Tae-sung’s smiling words, the other party sweared that he was puking and went back.
Tae-Sung Yoon has already distributed potions to the mercenaries of the Josh Company. It has to work so you can trust it and buy it.
Usually, mercenaries and hunters are distinguished, but in Africa, they all just call them mercenaries.
The Awoken were also mercenaries.
“Violi, do you really need to go in too?”
“If I want to run a business, I need to know the field. When we sold weapons, we didn’t just entrust them to someone else.”
Of course, there were people who helped, but anyway, she was the style to learn and experience firsthand when running a business.
So this time I picked up a gun.
The shooting was already of a high standard. I heard that shooting is a hobby, but it was unimaginable in Korea.
‘The number of 150 people entering one dungeon is not very good.’
The situation seemed to be similar to when entering a level 7 dungeon.
Is this a dungeon for 150 people?
There were about 30 people on this side, so almost 120 people applied from there.
This isn’t a mercenary army, it’s almost an army. It was a number that could even wage war.
Again, the scale of the 4th grade dungeon is huge. The Black Curtain was so far away that it was almost the size of a large city.
The environment was a jungle, but it did not feel damp and was unusually dry.
The floor is as soft as a cushion.
“What would you like to do? If you move from the center, we will escort you in a fan formation.”
Said a man named Luc Felice.
It seemed like this proposal was being made because this was a minority and the Free African Mercenary League was a majority.
Yoon Tae-sung didn’t like that guy’s eyes.
“Do you have any equipment?”
When entering the dungeon, you should have at least Mana Radar.
But I was talking about this because there was no such equipment.
“No worries, we will take care of it.”
There were only 15 Awoken. Among them, there were people with search skills, so Hatchet DeBole was not particularly concerned.
“Well, it’s a competition anyway, so do it yourself.”
Luke said sarcastically.
Tae-Sung Yoon observed the situation like a stranger. He also considered the idea of a Free African Mercenary League pretty good.
However, in these groups, like the Hunter Association, the leadership always causes problems.
‘It’s not like the attitudes of criminals suddenly change.’
Why did Yoon Tae-seong suggest a level 4 dungeon attack from over there? He had this thought.
The president clearly planned to approve both sides, and he wanted the government to control the PMC. From the president’s point of view, ‘control’ is a more important issue.
Suddenly, Prime Minister Sharif made this proposal.
‘These guys have a strong tendency to ignore government policies.’
Most of the mercenaries who commit crimes tend to be like this. So they basically have a strong disregard for the Tunisian government, and they are very likely to do so.
‘If you can’t do it in Tunisia, you’ll think you can go to Algeria, Libya or somewhere else. Or you could just make your own armed cartel.’
You’ll probably want to set your base in northern Africa. It’s closer to Europe than the central or southern part, and the environment is more comfortable.
Everyone got used to it, as if they had a lot of experience, and then moved on.
The 4th grade dungeon was so wide, honestly, it was difficult to know where the center of the dungeon was.
But if you have search skills, it’s a little different.
Hatchamp DeVole’s team set the right direction and moved.
“This is… a dungeon.”
Violier muttered next to him.
“Look out. More people die in the dungeon than I thought.”
There is no sign of death, so it is not known much unless it is a special event. So we don’t usually think about this, but there’s a lot more to it than Violier knows.
There were times when you were killed by a monster, or… More dangerous was when you got hit in the back of the head.
While moving, Tae-Sung Yoon looked into the distance with the scope of a sniper rifle.
‘Why are there still no monsters?’
“It’s kind of weird here. Monsters are definitely caught with the search skill, but no one appears.”
However, the man who was using the search skill spoke a different opinion with a firm expression.
“Captain, it seems we are under siege.”
“environment?”
“The monsters follow us.”
“Shit! I can’t see it, but what kind is it?”
Yoon Tae-sung rolled his eyes and looked at the trees around him.
It was most likely a tree spirit dryad. Because they can attack by possessing a tree.
But I can’t move
the position of the tree .
Through the gap between the trees, an unusual tree stood out.
It looks like an old tree, but it has no leaves. It would have been invisible if you skimmed over it, but if you look closely, it’s definitely different.
In particular, Yoon Tae-seong knew the identities of those people.
“It’s a troll.”
“troll?”
Trolls are pretty strong monsters, so many people don’t know about them. Since it was a level 4 dungeon, it wouldn’t be that strong of a troll.
The monster itself called a troll is very difficult to deal with.
They are often referred to as ‘undead monsters’. It has a very strong regenerative ability, making it very difficult to kill. Along with the ogre, it was a representative giant monster.
“It is moving under the guise of a tree.”
Trolls were particularly difficult monsters to kill with mana core guns.
As the dungeon’s rank increases, the effectiveness of the mana core guns decreases, but this is especially true for trolls.
In other words, more than 100 mercenaries would not be of much help.
They would have to take the position of assisting Hunters in fighting, but it seems difficult because they are competing with each other.
Currently spreading in a fan shape, the troll has a high probability of targeting the mercenaries in the outskirts first.
A crisis that is difficult to see and feel is gradually tightening.
But then, Luc Pelice’s team started doing absurd things.
-Luck, you aimed it right.
The man aimed his sniper rifle precisely at Violier Josh.
Lucky spoke to several mercenary commanders over the radio, and received a radio saying they were ready.
“Run!”
At Lurk’s command, the sniper aimed precisely at Violier Josh’s head and pulled the trigger.
Flames erupted from the muzzle and bullets were fired. The bullets are faster than the sound, and Violier Josh’s head exploded… It should have been thrown away.
The sniper, looking through the scope, recalled a question mark. Because Violier Josh’s head was intact.
The mercenaries started shooting. Naturally, their goal was to focus on the Awoken of Violier Josh’s PMC.
I thought they were inexperienced, military-playing guys who didn’t even have military training.
However, they were veteran mercenaries who survived all kinds of crises in the dungeon.
These are those who have not been trained, but have overcome many threats in combat and survived.
With the gunshots of sniper rifles, they prepared for the monster’s attack, after which the bullets of the gunfire were directed at them.
However, this gunshot stimulated the viciousness of the quietly approaching monster.
Yoon Tae-seong made a strong shield with the power of telekinesis. It blocked his magical sniper’s bullet right in front of Violier Josh.
The bullets tied to the telekinesis fell to the floor.
-shield
Yoon Tae-seong made a shield of solid magic, a skill of the earth attribute that he learned through a rune network. After that, her bullets were directed in the direction she attacked, protecting her.
The gunshots that follow are from the Free African Mercenary League, which spread as if they were besieging this place. The problem was the direction of the bullet.
“shit! Back!”
“Crazy bastards!”
Hatchet DeBole’s mercenary corps were accustomed to hiding, and several were wounded by bullets.
Fortunately, no one died, but from the start of the dungeon capture, it was a perfect situation to die in.
In dungeon raids, there is often a situation where you have to leave the injured person behind.
“Use the potion.”
Taesung Yoon said to Hatchet DeBole.
“Use a healing potion on the injured!”
Since the potion had already been distributed to verify the effectiveness of the potion, everyone had a bottle of each potion.
– Chur hoo hoo!
heavy bitterness.
The monsters began to move, and they began to attack the Free African Mercenary League, which had formed an outside camp.
Suddenly the gunfire stopped, and they started shouting.
“It’s a monster!”
“Fuck, what is this all of a sudden?”
There were no monsters appearing, so I tried to attack the dungeon after quickly organizing it.
Then suddenly a monster appeared and attacked them.
It was a monster with skin resembling the bark of an old tree, and the height of which was enough to exceed two meters.
They are the first monsters called ‘trolls’, but at this height, they were actually small trolls.
The problem is… this monster called a troll doesn’t die easily.
The leather was as hard as a bulletproof vest, and had no weaknesses. You just have to completely shatter and kill the head before you can regenerate it.
The troll, moving like a beast, grabbed the head of a mercenary and pulled it out of its body.
The man died without screaming, and the mercenary next to him opened fire.
Tatata Tatang!
Bullets go in and green blood oozes out. But the troll’s wounds quickly faded, and with one swipe of his hand, his man’s head exploded.
strong and fast
Trolls were one of the strongest monsters in the dungeon world.
What do you do after learning tactical training? If it wasn’t for the Awakened, a human body could never defeat a troll.
The only good thing about humans is that they can use weapons.
‘Ah, the troll’s only weakness was the fire attack.’
Its hard skin, resembling a troll’s bark, burns easily. Of course, he didn’t die any time soon. It’s just that only the leather burns.
They were terrifying bastards that regenerated while burning.
However, the flames do weaken their regenerative power. So, the basic strategy was to burn them and then hit them with a fatal blow.
Allies gathered
“Shit! What the hell are you doing with those crazy bastards…?”
“What should I do?”
Violier asked Hachem.
To be honest, Hach had never expected such a situation to happen in the dungeon, so it was difficult to make an accurate judgment.
If they disappear, 30 people will have to attack the 4th level dungeon.
Even at this moment, gunshots and screams continued. And the voice that follows.
“retreat! Retreat!”
‘retreat? Is there any place to retreat from here?’
This is a dungeon. There was no such thing as a friendly base camp. Are there no monsters behind you just because you run away? It wasn’t either.
Monsters are everywhere.
“They seem to be going backwards, so we quietly move forward. Now is the opportunity to attract the attention of monsters from the other side.”
There was no need to fight monsters by helping the hostile ones.
So they moved forward as quietly and as quickly as possible.
Of course, not all monsters are moving towards them.
Because monsters are spread all over the forest.
