The Copper Blade Army had always been a famous free army in Tea Colored Land. They didn't belong to any country, but they often appeared in national wars.
They would work for whichever country was willing to pay a high price. After all, Tea Colored Land was such a chaotic place that a powerful private army like them didn't have to worry about not being able to make a living.
In the Copper Blade Army, there were more than 3,000 soldiers who were good at blade techniques, not to mention the Divine Mortal Realm. The main force of this army was also a group of blade cultivators. They had high cultivation and were good at attacking cities and killing enemies. Even the armies of some city-states had to retreat when they encountered the Copper Blade Army!
They were powerful, disciplined, and involved the interests of many forces. Therefore, many city-states would make things easier for them.
"So it's a private army led by a group of blade cultivators. Since the Copper Blade Army is so powerful, why did you take over a city? Isn't it better to take over a city?" Zhu Minglang said to the general of the Copper Blade Army, Zhu Weicai.
"It's not like we haven't taken over a city before. However, it's easy to take over a city, but difficult to manage it. No city under the management of the Copper Blade Army is not in debt. After many times, we know that we are only good at fighting and killing. We don't know anything else!" The general of the Copper Blade Army, Zhu Weicai, was honest.
"There's no profit in Runyu City. Why don't you take over this place?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"Didn't we hear that the Zombie Dragon appeared again? The Copper Blade Army is waiting here. A complete corpse of a Zombie Dragon can be sold for thousands of gold, and a high-level one can be sold for tens of thousands of gold …"
"Boss, didn't you want to ask him why he kicked us out of the city?" At this moment, a young general next to Zhu Weicai reminded him in a low voice.
"Yes, why would I ask you this? Are you the new city lord of this city?" Zhu Weicai said.
"This is the city contract. At noon, I will issue the first order to expel all armed forces. You Copper Blade Army can go out of the city and find a good place to set up camp early so that your brothers won't freeze at night, "Zhu Minglang said.
"Humph, you're using a chicken feather as an arrow. Just issue your order. When the time comes, we'll see if the Copper Blade Army moves!" Zhu Weicai showed his disdain.
"Where is your camp?" Li Yunzi asked.
"It's right next to the market ruins. Do you want to see the magnificence of our barracks?" Zhu Weicai of the Bronze Blade Army said.
"Alright, bring us to take a look." Zhu Minglang laughed.
…
He followed the soldiers who were wearing bronze helmets and carrying bronze swords to their camp.
The Bronze Saber Army directly occupied a large area of the mansion and transformed the most important markets, streets, and business areas into their barracks. The large traffic thoroughfares became the training grounds for their soldiers.
At this moment, a few thousand people were divided into several large groups, and they were practicing in the city that served as the main transportation route. They looked no different from the regular army of some countries, and because of the presence of the Divine Mortals and Saber Masters, they looked even more imposing.
"Don't you have Dragon Shepard?" asked Zhu Minglang.
Most armies would try to recruit Dragon Shepard, who was the most powerful helper in a war. Many ferocious dragons were also killing machines on the battlefield!
"No, Dragon Shepards are all proud and arrogant. Instead of spending money to hire them, you might as well give our brothers more money so they can have fun!" Zhu Weicai twisted his lips disdainfully again. It seemed that he was very biased and dissatisfied with Dragon Shepard.
"Commander, Commander, we saw Dragon Shepard of the Hu Clan Army in the morning. They seemed to be up to something." A soldier quickly came up and reported the situation, ignoring Zhu Minglang, Li Yunzi, and Hao Ye who were standing next to Zhu Weicai.
"What are Hu Bailing and Hu Chongming trying to do?" Zhu Weicai asked, widening his eyes.
"We don't know what they are up to yet. Should we send someone to keep an eye on them?" asked the soldier.
"Hey, Castellan, didn't you say you were going to drive away all the armed forces? Why didn't you drive the Hu Clan Army away first? They were the original owners of this city," Zhu Weicai said to Zhu Minglang, turning around.
"We are on the same side as them," Zhu Minglang said calmly. He did not mind exposing himself.
"Damn it, aren't you here to gather information then!?" Zhu Weicai glared at them.
"You invited us here," Zhu Minglang said.
"I invited you here to show you our strength. Don't mess with us. It's fine for young people to be arrogant, but don't seek your own death!" Zhu Weicai said angrily.
"What's the price?" Li Yunzi asked.
"What price?" Zhu Weicai was confused.
"Hire your army?" Li Yunzi asked.
"Little girl, our Copper Saber Army is in the business of sieging cities, wiping out clans, and stepping into dragon caves and demon caves. We are not hired as guards or escorts for embroidered ladies like you," Zhu Weicai said.
"So what's the price?" Li Yunzi asked coldly.
"One and a half million gold as a deposit. It depends on what we are doing for you. If we are sieging cities, participating in national wars, or wiping out some stubborn factions, we will charge a more reasonable fee based on the degree of danger and losses," Zhu Weicai said.
Zhu Minglang did not expect Li Yunzi to recruit soldiers on the spot!
However, it made sense.
In such a large city, the good and the bad were mixed together, and there were many forces. Without an army of their own, it would be very difficult to purge them.
After all, the Hu Clan's army was working with them. They were not completely under their command.
"One million gold from the Hu Clan. Their dragon shepherds are easier to mobilize," Li Yunzi said.
"How can those greenhorns compare to our experienced saber army!?" Zhu Weicai's thick eyebrows widened again.
"One million gold. If you are willing, you can continue to stay here and listen to my orders. If you are not willing, pack your things and leave as soon as possible. When night falls, everything in this city will be under our control, including your lives! "Li Yunzi said.
"This … this …" Zhu Weicai could not make up his mind for a moment.
He originally wanted to invite the new City Lord in and show her who was in charge. However, he was suppressed by her aura.
One million gold …
Should he take it or not? Although the price was a little low, killing Zombie Dragons was not something that could be profited in a day or two. It was better to accept a job and have an iron rice bowl for a while.
After all, the Copper Saber Army had three thousand people. If they did not work for a day, they would lose a lot of money!
"Deal, deal, deal! One million gold it is! "Zhu Weicai agreed.
Zhu Minglang and Hao Ye were at the side. Before they could react, Li Yunzi had already recruited the Copper Saber Army!
