As soon as Shifeng finished speaking, Hellscream and the others revealed astonished expressions.
"You want to hire us for a month?" Hellscream asked hesitantly.
If Shifeng's conditions had been capital injections or Coins, it would've been fine. However, hiring them for a month was a different story.
As the Nether Empire's trump card legion, the Infernal Legion's top priority was to raise its level and strength. Hence, the Guild had invested a lot of resources in the legion.
However, if Shifeng wanted to hire them for a month, that was a different story altogether.
One month wasn't a long time, but it wasn't short, either.
Netherworld Empire was willing to use funds and resources to improve its combat standards, but the Guild most likely wouldn't be willing to sacrifice a large amount of its trump card legions' time. After all, the Guild was spending resources to buy time. Doing so would be akin to chasing after the end product at the expense of the capital.
Moreover, the Infernal Legion still had many matters to attend to. If they had to obey Shifeng's orders for an entire month, they would have to deal with a lot of things later on.
"Rest assured. You won't fall behind in levels during this month. You won't even lose any equipment. Moreover, you'll be free to do whatever you want most of the time," Shifeng said. Chuckling at Hellscream's hesitant expression, he continued, "Most importantly, you'll receive guidance on how to unlock your Mana Bodies in advance. One month is more than enough time for all of you to unlock your Mana Bodies."
Shi Feng understood Hellscream's difficulties. After all, the Guild's trump card legion was the Guild's strongest combat power. Not only did the Guild have to invest all of its resources into the legion, but it also had to race against time to improve itself.
No Guild would be willing to waste an entire month's worth of time, even if it meant speeding up the process of unlocking their Mana Bodies.
"I'm afraid I can't make this decision. I need to return and report this to the higher-ups. They'll make the decision," Hellscream said, shaking his head. Although he was somewhat tempted by Shifeng's offer, he still shook his head.
The Infernal Legion was the trump card of the Nether Empire. The resources that the Nether Empire could obtain were not something that the Shifeng could imagine.
They might not have received any guidance on how to unlock their Mana Bodies yet, but they might in a few days. If the Infernal Legion wasted an entire month trying to find a way to unlock their Mana Bodies, it wouldn't be worth it. After all, the opportunities the Infernal Legion could obtain during this one month weren't something other superpowers could hope to match.
"Alright, I'm not in a hurry for this matter. You can think about it when you go back."
Shifeng was not surprised by this, because this was not something the commander of Hellscream could decide. Only the president of the Nether Empire and the Patriarch Society had the right to decide.
He only said this so that Hellscream could pass on the message.
"Thank you for your understanding, President Hei Yan. We will give you a reply as soon as possible," Hellscream said, nodding. Hell Rush nodded in agreement. Inwardly, however, he doubted that the chances of his superiors agreeing to his request were high. After all, one month was too long a time. This was especially true when Tier 3 players were constantly appearing in the God's Domain.
After Shifeng and Hellscream finished their conversation, Ke Le looked at Xiang Shifeng in confusion.
"Guild Leader, you're not really going to let them enter the Legacy Gate, are you?" Ke Le asked softly, her heart aching.
He had personally experienced the benefits of the Legacy Gate. It was definitely the fastest way to unlock one's Mana Body's full potential. However, there were only so many slots available each month, and they didn't even have enough for themselves. Hence, he felt that giving the slots to the Nether Empire wasn't worth it. After all, a Tier 3 expert with a fully unlocked Mana Body was simply too much of an advantage.
A Tier 3 expert with a fully unlocked Mana Body couldn't compare to a Tier 3 expert with a fully unlocked Mana Body. Moreover, doing so would expose the Starlight Fortress's true value.
Although the Infernal Legion did indeed have a lot of Tier 3 experts, Ling Yi wasn't lacking, either. She might not be able to nurture 300 Tier 3 experts in half a month, but she could at least nurture 200 Tier 3 experts. At that time, she could even nurture a few experts with fully unlocked Mana Bodies.
"Mhm. I have great use for the Infernal Legion's experts," Shifeng said, nodding.
"Great use?" Ke Le was confused.
He simply couldn't understand what the Infernal Legion's benefits were. In terms of combat power, they were significantly weaker than Fire Dance and the others. In fact, Fire Dance's group of five was more than enough to send the Infernal Legion scurrying for their lives.
"Fire and the others are indeed very strong after fully unlocking their Mana Bodies, but many things can't be solved with just a few people. We'll need more experts," Shifeng said, chuckling when he saw the disdain Ke Le had for the Infernal Legion's members.
Fire Dance's group of five might be suppressing the Infernal Legion right now, but once the Infernal Legion's members fully unlocked their Mana Bodies, Fire Dance's group wouldn't even be able to escape. Meanwhile, it was only a matter of time before the Infernal Legion's Tier 3 experts fully unlocked their Mana Bodies.
What Shi Feng wanted was the Infernal Legion's members with fully unlocked Mana Bodies.
Although the Divine Dragon had become his companion, the four-month trial was no laughing matter. He needed to improve his strength as quickly as possible.
Right now, there was only one way to improve his strength quickly.
That was to obtain the other fragments of Solomon's Sword. However, that place was simply too dangerous. Even if Fire Dance and the others accompanied him, it would still be very dangerous. Hence, he needed the Infernal Legion's members.
Moreover, once Ling Yi obtained the Infernal Legion's fragments, he wouldn't have to fear the eastern continent's various superpowers anymore. He would be able to engage in all sorts of direct confrontations and contest for truly important resources. He wouldn't have to rely on a single Guild Town or Town to trade for resources. After all, doing so would make it easy for Ling Yi to become a true superpower.
Currently, God's Domain's various weapons and equipment still dropped from monsters. However, as the game continued to level up, more weapons and equipment would be produced by players. This was especially true for war resources. Even if one had the money, they still couldn't buy these items.
If Ling Yi didn't secure these resource lands early on, with his current scale, the various superpowers would tear his Guild to shreds sooner or later.
After the Shifeng and Ke Le finished their conversation, Fire Dance and the others lured the five Earthen Chieftains away from the monster horde. Meanwhile, Hellscream led his team to clear out the Earthen Giants.
Without the Earthen Chieftains, the strongest monster in the Earthen Giant horde was only a Level 112 Great Lord. To the Infernal Legion's members, who had Basic Attributes that rivaled Great Lords and Grand Lords, defeating them was a piece of cake. The only problem was that the Earthen Giants' Movement Speed was slow.
However, with Fire Dance and the others attracting the Earthen Chieftains' attention, the Infernal Legion didn't have to worry about time. They cleared out the Earthen Giants in an orderly fashion, continuously reducing their numbers.
After two hours, all of the Earthen Giants near the tunnel had been cleared out. Only five Earthen Chieftains remained, each with less than 70% of their HPs. The Infernal Legion's members couldn't help but sweat when they saw this.
Although they understood that Fire Dance and the others might have killed the Earthen Chieftains again, they still couldn't believe it.
However, when they saw the five Earthen Giants' HPs fall below 70%, they still couldn't believe their eyes.
"Alright, let's get rid of these Earthen Chieftains!" Shifeng commanded when he saw the dazed Infernal Legion members.
Others might not know how Fire Dance and the others were faring, but he did. Although Fire Dance and the others had depleted a significant amount of the Earthen Chieftains' HPs, they had also consumed a significant amount of Stamina. With their limited Stamina, they wouldn't be able to kill the Level 112 Earthen Chieftains. At the end of the day, he still needed a group of players. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hired the Infernal Legion's members.
With Shifeng's reminder, the Infernal Legion members snapped out of their daze and began to help Fire Dance and the others deal with the five Earthen Chieftains.
For a time, Fire Dance and the others tanked the five Earthen Chieftains while the Infernal Legion members attacked from the sides. As a result, the Earthen Chieftains' HPs plummeted. Moreover, killing the Earthen Chieftains was much easier than killing the Great Lord ranked Earthen Giants …
Less than half an hour later, the five Earthen Chieftains let out roars of frustration before collapsing to the ground.
When the five Earthen Chieftains collapsed, everyone's experience bars began to fill rapidly. The EXP the Earthen Chieftains gave was many times more than the Grand Lords in the outside world.
In just three seconds, everyone's experience bars had risen by 15%. That was more than what they could gain after grinding for half a day.
Moreover, when the five Earthen Chieftains died, they released a dazzling light and dropped dozens of items. The bountiful loot could rival that of Mythic monsters. For a time, the Infernal Legion members were stupefied …
