Chapter 1577 - 792: Competition! (Part 2)

Chapter 1577: Chapter 792: Competition! (Part 2)

A major reason was the sense of guilt. Also, if these people could join the Wolf Fang Mercenaries, their strength would increase significantly.

He persuaded from the side: "Captain Qian and Captain Chen, I advise you not to go against Brother Lin."

"Do you know about the Beishi Mercenary Corps and the Milo Family?"

"What does this have to do with you?" Chen Bing asked, puzzled. He had heard about the recent events concerning the Beishi Mercenary Corps and the Milo Family.

After all, as long as you’re in the Golden Triangle, there’s no way you wouldn’t know about such shocking news.

"The high-level leaders of the Milo Family and Beishi Mercenary Corps are all dead—could it be related to you guys?"

"Oh, it’s very much related." Li Kui smiled mysteriously and then said, "All their leaders were personally killed by our Lin Beichen."

Li Kui revealed this matter without worrying that anyone would run to inform the Milo Family and Beishi Mercenary Corps. After all, both of their forces were currently in-fighting, greatly weakening their own strength. Even if they really sent people over, they would only be sending them to their deaths.

Lin Beichen even took the opportunity to boast that sooner or later he would bring people to wipe them out entirely, so if they came, it would be perfect.

"Impossible, how could you guys have done it?" Chen Bing was full of disbelief, "Their Mercenary Corps, which has a long history and top-tier strength, all have numerous base defenders and impenetrable defenses."

"With your current strength, it’s absolutely impossible."

"Heh." Li Kui couldn’t help but laugh, "At the time, our Brother Lin didn’t even have that many underlings, just me."

Seeing Chen Bing’s stunned and incredulous expression, Li Kui understood that no matter what he said, the other party wouldn’t believe it, so he backed off, "Believe it or not, it’s up to you."

"Anyway, I’ve said everything I need to say. If you’re determined to go your own way, I can’t stop you."

"Brothers, isn’t that right?"

"Yes!!!"

"Going your own way! Going your own way!"

The surrounding brothers loudly followed Li Kui’s shout.

Captain Qian was a smart man. Seeing everyone’s reaction and Li Kui’s expression when speaking, he guessed that he probably wasn’t lying; this matter was likely true.

Although he had been fooled by Li Kui once before, it didn’t affect his judgment this time.

He stepped forward and said: "Even if we believe what you said, we can’t help it if our leader and brothers don’t believe; we still have to go to war in the end."

"That’s easy. You just need to tell them everything we’ve said and seen with your own eyes." Li Kui suggested.

"It’s not that simple. Some things have to be seen firsthand to be convincing; just speaking doesn’t work."

Then, he suddenly thought of a good idea: "What if we do this."

"Go ahead." Lin Beichen was absolutely confident in his strength, not afraid of any tricks from the opposition.

"Let’s have a competition with a few events, and whichever team wins the most first places wins. Then it’ll be much easier to let us take over the base or join you."

"Because after seeing your strength, we won’t need to say much more; our Phoenix Mercenary Corps’ leader will naturally know what to do, and they’ll believe what I said."

This truly was a good solution to resolve the issue without losing a single soldier.

Lin Beichen naturally nodded in agreement.

As for losing?

Lin Beichen never considered this issue; he was only pondering how many events his team could occupy the top three spots. After all, in his team, aside from himself, Zhao Ligeng, Tyson, Xu Qiang, and others were all top talents in their respective fields.

"Your leader has quite a few clever ideas, huh?" Li Kui laughed and teased, "But in such competition, you might lose even worse."

Old Qian hardly believed that Lin Beichen’s troops were all as formidable as Tyson; he had confidence in some people in his base.

He said calmly: "We’ll see."

"Just to be clear, if you lose, you’ll all have to join our Phoenix Mercenary Corps."

"You old man, dreaming in broad daylight." Li Kui was amused.

"Alright." Lin Beichen nodded, thinking this was a good solution.

Later, Captain Qian and Chen Bing returned to the Phoenix Mercenary Corps Base to report the results of this negotiation to their people.

Old Qian was clever, not mentioning Lin Beichen’s arrogant words earlier, but instead saying that the opposition wanted to join their base because they didn’t have one.

But the opposition didn’t want to join a weaker team, so proposed a competition where whoever wins becomes the leader.

The leader of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps sat at the head of the long table, stroking his beard, carefully listening to Old Qian’s words.

As for Tyson and Li Kui, who hadn’t returned, he subconsciously assumed these novices just hadn’t made it in rather than defected to the enemy.

Chen Bing, wanting to expose Old Qian’s lies, also feared bad consequences from doing so.

He thought to himself: This Old Qian is really thick-skinned, lying so brazenly. How did I not see it before?

But he also understood that if Old Qian spoke this way, it might actually lead to a competition; otherwise, a real battle could break out. Having seen the opposition’s strength, he naturally didn’t want to fight them.

Ye Liebiao furrowed his brows, contemplating Old Qian’s words carefully.

If it was as Old Qian said, it wouldn’t just be a challenge but also a great opportunity.

If they win, the Phoenix Mercenary Corps would strengthen vastly; if they lose, years of effort would be handed over.

Yet everyone has confidence, especially since the opponent’s suggestion is an open challenge.

If not facing the challenge, wouldn’t that show fear? At that time, the opposition might still choose to fight.

Therefore, Ye Liebiao decided to agree to the competition.

"Alright, I agree, fighting and killing aside, let’s have a competition instead."

Through this revision, the original message and meaning are preserved, but the sentence structure and tone are changed to be smoother and more natural.

"Boss, I’ll go notify the opposing people now." Old Qian wasn’t surprised by his leader’s decision, as he had already expected it.

Ye Liebiao nodded slightly and instructed: "Yes, go ahead; have everyone gather at the training grounds too."

Suddenly changing the subject, as if recalling something, he quickly cautioned: "Remember to explain clearly to the subordinates that this is just a competition, not to actually fight."

Everyone nodded, returning to their posts to prepare for action.

Meanwhile, Captain Qian returned to Lin Beichen’s side, immediately saying: "Our leader has agreed; follow me into the base, and let’s start the competition."

Lin Beichen nodded, then gathered his people and marched towards the Phoenix Mercenary Corps Base. He wasn’t worried about any tricks from the opposition, nor did he fear ambushes. After all, with his men following him, and given his own strength, the opposition wouldn’t be able to stir up much trouble.

If the opposition dared to do such a thing, it would certainly be a path to destruction.

Soon, Lin Beichen and his group swaggered into the Phoenix Mercenary Corps Base. Despite the large number of people from both sides, the vast base didn’t feel crowded.

This made Lin Beichen even more determined to acquire the base.

Led by Old Qian, Lin Beichen and others first arrived at the training grounds of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps Base. This was precisely where the competition would take place.

By this time, most of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps had gathered in the training grounds.

Thus, the leaders of both sides met briefly.

Although the competition had been decided, the specifics of it, such as which events to compete in, how to calculate scores, and how to determine the winner, were yet to be decided.

Upon meeting Lin Beichen, the leader of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps, Ye Liebiao, showed a trace of surprise in his eyes. He hadn’t expected their leader to be so young.
