Winston and Saxon wanted to go back. Most of them were single, but their thief Paul had a lover outside, and she was pregnant. Before they received the Death Mission, Paul had told them that he was going to take a break after a few months. In fact, both Winston and Saxon knew that Paul wanted to retire, but he didn't make it too clear because he didn't want to hurt his old friends' feelings.
Now that Paul was dead, taking care of the woman had become everyone's responsibility. Being a mercenary was a profession full of sorrow and parting. If they didn't help their own people, then the life of a mercenary would be too boring and dark.
Jeddis also wanted to go to Isolated Cliff City to take a look. After being attacked by Nicholas, he was indeed greatly hurt, both mentally and physically. However, he was still able to hold on because he still had hope. Han Jin had returned without success, and he was completely discouraged. Although no one could see anything unusual on the surface, only he knew how much he wanted to give up. He just wanted to live the rest of his life in a daze, and no longer cared about his dreams.
However, Jeddis never expected that Han Jin was actually a lord! Moreover, he was a lord who had already overcome the difficult period of starting a business, and his career was on the rise. Didn't he hear Sassoux say that Han Jin's army had already launched a counterattack?!
Jeddis' heart was alive again, and he was eager to learn more about the situation. It was useless to listen to others, and he had to see it for himself.
It just so happened that Sassoux and the others had brought a lot of Town Portal Scrolls, which could be used to transport people and the little thunderbirds back in batches. Spatial magic was like other magic, it was restricted by various laws. Things that were too large couldn't be transported away with spatial magic, unless it was a special magic scroll. It also couldn't be transported with too many life units. Although the little thunderbirds were similar to chicks, they still took up one life unit.
With Han Jin around, none of this was a problem. For the first time, he and Sunier took a dozen little thunderbirds back, and when they arrived at the station, he handed them over to Sunier to take care of. Although the little thunderbirds and Sunier hadn't known each other for a long time, they were very close to Sunier, far more than Yalina. This made Yalina extremely jealous, and she cursed them for being traitors countless times.
Then, Han Jin returned to the forest. His talisman was still effective, and he could immediately capture Yalina's position. Riding on the sword was much faster than hurrying through the forest, and even if he was teleported to a corner, it wouldn't affect anything. It would take him at most two days to reach Thunder Valley.
To Jeddis, Han Jin was just Han Jin, because he didn't know about Han Jin's past. However, to Sunier and the others, they could all feel the amazing changes in Han Jin.
In the past, Han Jin was just a pool of clear water. From the surface, one could see the depth of the pool at a glance, and even the stones at the bottom of the pool. As for what was under the stones, that was Han Jin's own secret.
They didn't know whether the pool was getting deeper or muddier, but in any case, they felt that Han Jin was becoming more and more unfathomable. During those years when they were wandering around, they enjoyed blessings and weathered hardships together. When they were free, they would talk nonsense and fight side by side when they encountered problems. Now, Han Jin said whatever he wanted to say and laughed whenever he wanted to, but there was a great change in him. He was less flamboyant and more serious than before.
However, other than Sunier who was trying her best to find out the reason, the others didn't pay much attention to Han Jin's changes. They were all busy with their own things. Jeddis was busy dealing with the Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Association. As the Archbishop of the Holy See, he was qualified to talk to any lord as an equal. Han Jin's side wasn't lacking in manpower; there were warriors, magicians, knights, and even a general who was starting to show his talent. However, what they lacked was a talent in diplomacy. Hallister was handsome and eloquent, but his status and strength were too low. Jeddis, on the other hand, was different. His calm temperament, style of conversation, and his sincere smile were always able to win the favor of others at first sight.
Yalina was even busier. She and the space ring were at loggerheads, and they wouldn't stop until one of them was dead! In the past, when she was researching alchemy with Hogan, she knew to go back to the station to rest. Now, she stayed in the alchemy lab all day and night, never going out.
Winston and Saxon were also busy. In addition to settling down Paul's widow, they also had to think about their own futures. They were the only two left in the Reaper Mercenary Team, and the Red Vanguards weren't much better off than the Reapers. Gibran and Winston discussed whether they could form a mercenary team. Of course, this included Han Jin and Yalina.
As for who would take the top position, Winston and Gibran were very calm. It was very simple. Only the capable would take the top position! Han Jin was definitely the best choice.
Coincidentally, just as Winston and Gibran were discussing, Dwightsteel of the Dragon Singer Mercenary Group suddenly came to their door.
In fact, how far a person could go could be proven by various signs. The Dragon Singer Mercenary Group was created by Dwightsteel. When he was young, he met a few good friends and brothers who he could entrust his life to. They became the backbone of the Dragon Singer Mercenary Group in the future. If he hadn't met a few brothers, if they hadn't supported him, would the Dragon Singer Mercenary Group be as strong as it was today? Even the birth of the Dragon Singer Mercenary Group was still unknown!
Not to mention Han Jin's strength, the young magus Yalina had become Han Jin's partner. The Red Vanguards and the Reapers, two top mercenary teams, had met with misfortune one after the other. It was inevitable that they would be reorganized and find their own positions. If nothing unexpected happened, the survivors would become Han Jin's right-hand men. Moreover, Han Jin was a lord. The Chamber of Commerce Alliance and the Mercenary Association were all trying to build a good relationship with Han Jin. Now, Archbishop Jedis, who had a high position in the Vatican, had joined Han Jin's group. What did this mean?
Every time Dwightsteel saw Han Jin, he would have the illusion that he was looking at his younger self. He was sure that Han Jin had flown higher and walked further than he had.
Once, he accidentally heard Yalina and Jedis discussing the problem of stacking spells. After listening for a while, he realized that Jedis could release two forbidden spells at the same time! At that time, Dwightsteel was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat. In a battle between a mage and a warrior, a mage already had a certain advantage. If spells could be stacked together, it would be terrifying!
If it was only Yalina, Dwightsteel would have respected Han Jin. However, the disbanding and reorganization of two top mercenary teams forced him to think carefully. Han Jin was also a lord, and there was also Jedis. All of these added together made Dwightsteel see his future clearly. Some things were better done earlier than later!
Dwightsteel did not only represent his own opinion. Before he found Winston and Gibran, he had already contacted several mercenary groups and teams, as well as many freelance mercenaries.
Dwightsteel's goal was to form an unprecedented super mercenary group. Winston and Gibran were both tempted by Dwightsteel's idea, and after a long discussion, they came to an agreement on the general direction. Dwightsteel had even thought of a name for the mercenary group, and he proposed to call it the Dragon Slaying Mercenary Group. Who he really favored could be seen from the name alone.
However, there was already a Dragon Slaying Mercenary Group in Isolated Cliff City. It was a third-rate mercenary group with only a dozen members, and the leader was a high-level warrior. This was not a problem for Dwightsteel, and after notifying the Mercenary Association, he forcefully canceled the mercenary group.
Winston and Gibran found Han Jin and discussed their ideas. Han Jin was very supportive of their idea, but he was firmly against the name.
He had always remembered what Guevara had said. The name "Dragon Slaying" was very taboo. If they stayed in Isolated Cliff City, it would be fine, but if they wanted to go out and explore the vast world, they would cause a lot of trouble sooner or later!
What would the tyrannical existences in Dragon City and Dragon Field think? What would they do?!
Actually, it was easy to understand. For example, if a Japanese ID named "Kill Chinese" suddenly appeared in a Chinese forum in another world, what kind of treatment would they receive?
Everyone would attack them!!!
Winston and Gibran had no choice but to find Dwightsteel again, and after a long discussion, they finally decided on the name of the super mercenary group. The King, the King Mercenary Group!
The name was a bit tacky, but it had its own meaning. An unprecedented super mercenary group would of course be the king of the mercenary world. On the other hand, it also implied people's expectations. Would the leader of the mercenary group become a true king in the future?
The people's stance was firm and unquestionable. Edwina, Hayden, and Charles had all died at the hands of vampires. Gibran knew that he and Julia couldn't avenge their friends and family on their own, so they could only work together with Han Jin. When Han Jin decided to wage war against Zagunéd, it would be time for them to take revenge.
Winston and Saxon were also very firm. If Han Jin hadn't brought people to save them, the entire Reaper Mercenary Team would have been wiped out. They were all men who clearly distinguished between kindness and hatred. In Winston's words, this was how it was for the rest of their lives!
Jeddis also had no way out. After Nicholas dealt with Lola, he would definitely target the Vatican. Although priests were a profession that took pleasure in helping others, it didn't mean that they didn't have their own grudges. The destruction of the land of faith was more painful than physical injury.
Dwightsteel wanted to shine once more in his old age, and he was filled with the desire to rely on the dragon and the phoenix. He didn't want to retreat even more.
One after another, for various reasons, the strong walked to Han Jin's side. Before they made their move, no one could have predicted that they would have such terrifying explosive power!
Even Han Jin didn't realize that he had already become the hero of the crowd. At this moment, he was sitting on a chair, quietly thinking. After seeing the military of the Kingdom of Magnificent Light at its peak and knowing how many strong people gathered around Nicholas, he was greatly moved. After returning, he often fell into deep thought.
Nicholas had already broken free from his shackles. In just a few short years, he had to find a path that suited him!
