Chapter 84: Undercurrent of Spoils Sharing

Miles was helpless. He had told Wade not to be polite before, but he didn't expect that Wade's wizard team was really not polite at all. The magic cannons did not stop for a moment. The artillery shells alone cost the lord's army more than 40,000 gold coins.

If the fighting continues like this, the lords under him will definitely have opinions. After all, even if the lords capture the Stone City, most of what they get is the territory of Mount Gadlanmon, and the mercenaries will take the lion's share of the valuable magic crystals and magic materials.

If this battle ultimately causes the lords to lose money, then the prestige that they have worked so hard to build will also be trampled underfoot by the lords.

"Okay then, wizard team, stop the bombardment first, remove the base of the magic cannon, and be ready to retreat at any time." Wade didn't care, since he didn't have to spend his gold coins anyway.

……

Mercenary position.

Even with the support of level 4 combat power, the monsters' charge still created a gap in the mercenary position. The excited monsters crossed the gap and ran towards the magic cannon position.

However, they didn't expect that the magic cannon had been withdrawn by Wade's wizard team, and even the lord's army that was originally here had retreated far away.

Seeing this scene, the Warcraft, with the blessing of the Hymn of Courage, did not even think of escaping, but turned around and killed back to the mercenary position.

"Damn it!"

The leader of a mercenary group spoke up, saying that his mercenaries had suffered heavy losses from the attack of the monsters. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, the lord's army had retreated to a distance with magic cannons to watch the show.

If he was not weak enough, he would have wanted to turn around and teach the lord's army a lesson.

Mercenaries may die at any time on the battlefield. Falling rocks and black fog are the mercenaries' death warrants. When these magics appear, it means the death of the mercenaries.

Even Richard could not change the brutality of the entire battle.

After using the fireball spell thirty more times, Richard flew to a quiet place to rest, saying that he had consumed a lot of magic power.

The leader of the Feixue Mercenary Group naturally had no objection. After all, the Tiger God Wizard played a huge role on the battlefield. If it weren't for Richard's magic, hundreds of more mercenaries would have died.

Although Richard found a place to rest, he actually still had a lot of magic power left. He was concentrating on doing many things, so his magic power recovered quickly.

What Richard really wanted to know was what kind of conspiracy the messenger of Lord Ou Yun had hidden in the City of Stone.

The priest and the King of Warcraft are not fools. The moment they see the magic cannon, they should know that the Stone City cannot be defended.

If Richard were the priest, he would definitely let all the monsters leave the city together. If they could not destroy the magic cannon, they would break through and leave the Stone City.

After all, judging by the actions of the Warcraft today, there should be at least a few thousand Warcraft remaining in the Stone City. If there really are this many Warcraft, and the poor performance of the mercenaries today, it would not be difficult to break through successfully.

What those lords wanted was the territory of Mount Gadlanmon, and they would not necessarily allow their noble private armies to suffer too much loss for the sake of gold coins.

But why do we still have to guard this stone city now?

What kind of secrets are hidden in the city?

To be on the safe side, Richard decided to ensure his fighting ability. If something went wrong, he would withdraw immediately.

As for these mercenaries, their life and death are no longer something Richard can control.

After all, Richard had fulfilled his obligation as a fourth-level wizard to perform magic.

Two hours later, after the unremitting efforts of the fourth-level warrior, he finally led his mercenaries to eliminate the group of charging monsters.

However, the price paid by the mercenaries was also very tragic.

More than a thousand mercenaries were killed on the spot, and countless others were injured.

However, when the mercenaries saw the corpses of seven or eight hundred monsters on the mercenary camp, bloodshot eyes appeared in their eyes.

Apart from anything else, even if it was just 780 magic crystals, transporting them back to the wizarding world would bring in at least a million gold coins.

The wages of avarice is death.

Isn't the purpose of the mercenaries coming to Mount Gadlanmon for gold coins? Now the materials worth millions of gold coins are lying on the ground, waiting for the mercenaries to come.

Fortunately, the mercenary leader was smart enough to issue strict orders to his mercenaries, collect all the magic crystals and magic materials into different categories, and distribute them uniformly.

If the mercenary leaders were not still there, Richard would have doubted whether the murderous mercenaries would kill each other for these magic crystals.

Although they paid a heavy price, the mercenaries all showed joy on their faces when they looked at the magic crystals they had harvested, and even the team leaders were no exception.

"Those lords' troops are unwilling to contribute their strength. Do we still need to share the magic crystals we harvested with them?"

A mercenary leader expressed the thoughts of many mercenaries.

Even the leader of the Feixue Mercenary Group, who had secretly cooperated with Miles, felt that the Lord's Army's inaction was a bit excessive.

The lord's army not far away saw that the monsters had been dealt with by the mercenaries, and they also came back with magic cannons.

"It seems that the mercenaries are not going to share the monster corpses with us!"

A lord looked at the mercenary with red eyes and said teasingly.

Miles nodded. "We don't have much to lose anyway, so let the mercenaries have a taste of the sweetness first."

"Let the mercenaries pay 80,000 gold coins worth of magic crystals as the cost of the magic cannon shells. As for the rest, let these mercenaries divide it up first!"

"After the Stone City is captured, we will send our lord army to attack. We will have the final say then. If these mercenaries are sensible, it will be fine. If not, we will make them spit out everything they have eaten."

"Miles, you are still as insidious as before," another lord smiled. To be honest, he was also very interested in the corpses of monsters in the hands of the mercenaries. He was reluctant to give these things to the mercenaries at first, but he didn't expect that Miles was more greedy than himself.

After the capture of the Stone City, the remaining combat power of the mercenaries would probably have been exhausted. Now that the lord's army is sending in troops other than those in the negotiations, it is unknown whether the mercenaries will still be able to stand up.

All the lords present laughed.

On the other hand, the leader of the mercenary group who received the news from Miles also became excited. Even if 80,000 gold coins were deducted, the gold coins they could share would be at least 100,000 gold coins.

Especially Godwin, who didn't expect that this mission would be so profitable. There is hope that the Black Snake Mercenary Group's debt will be paid off.

Although some smart mercenaries felt something was wrong, they were very clear about dividing the money.

Richard also earned 20,000 gold coins with his outstanding performance. He chose all the magic crystals that were easy to carry. After all, he was not like those mercenary leaders who brought a lot of subordinates and carried so many magic-sealing boxes when they went into the mountains.
