Ace of the Dragon Division Chapter 573 - The Qualification to Get a Pass

Chapter 573: The Qualification to Get a Pa.s.s (Part One)

In this chaotic zone, who wouldn’t want to be taken under the wing by powerful people? If you had a powerful boss, then other people would have to think twice before laying a finger on you. It was just like the saying, if you are going to beat a dog, you still have to see who the owner is.

If your boss gets stomped by someone so easily and couldn’t even protect himself, then how could he protect his men and allies?

A powerful boss could lead to qualitative changes in the combat effectiveness and synergy of the entire mercenary group.

Those guys looked at Xu Cheng and were dumbfounded. Xu Cheng’s power did make them feel extremely oppressed, because in front of him, they really had no ability to fight back. There was also a hint of excitement, because if this kind of person were to become their boss, the oppressive feeling would be left for the enemies to feel!

The other guys looked at each other. Although they weren’t in a hurry to talk, there was a hint of hesitation and swaying emotion showing from their eyes.

Then, someone immediately took their flag down and put it over their dead boss.

Then, this guy asked Xu Cheng, “What are the requirements of joining the Deviant Mercenary Corp?”

Xu Cheng: “Just one! Obey all orders. What I need is a mercenary group that’s well-disciplined.”

Someone else asked, “Do you have a country behind you? Or are you by yourself?”

“Just me.” Xu Cheng said, “The Deviant Corp would never become the dog of another country.”

“Good!” Those guys said in deep voices, “We will join the Deviant Corp!”

“Do you guys know where the Falcon mercenary group was originally?” Xu Cheng asked. “It’s about 200 miles from here.”

“We know,” someone answered. “What about it?”

“Just go there and report. Just say you are there to join the Deviant Corp.” Xu Cheng said, “And say you were told to go there by Big Brother Cheng.”

“Didn’t you say you are from Deviant? Why are you on Falcon’s territory? Those Falcon guys aren’t too impressive, they are just a bunch of soft-ball-sac cowards that rely on the Polar Bears.”

“Falcon doesn’t exist anymore. That place is our Deviant Corp’s territory.”

“You guys wiped out Falcon?” someone exclaimed.

Xu Cheng smiled and said, “Yeah. If you are afraid that the Polar Bears are going to trouble us afterward, you can choose to not join. But Falcon indeed no longer exists in the Land of Mercenaries now.”

The group of 30 guys all looked at each other, hesitant about their decision.

Although this place could be said to be the world that centers around mercenaries, there were quite a few mercenary groups that were actually being backed by big powerful countries. If the Polar Bears backed by the R Nation were to seek trouble from them in the future, with the R Nation’s resources and technology, they thought they wouldn’t stand a chance.

“How many people do you have right now?” someone asked.

“For now, just 9 mercenaries. But they are all true warriors that dare to fight. I don’t take cowards.”

“I dare to fight, and I also dare to put my life on the line. Do you think we would live a better life at Deviant than Cobra?” someone asked.

“Just live a better life?” Xu Cheng showed hints of disdain. “I just easily killed your boss. Who could protect him? Right now, if I want to take your life, who can protect you? Sometimes, only when you are alive, can you pursue higher things.”

The others all understood this logic.

“We will think about it,” someone answered.

Xu Cheng nodded and then asked them, “Oh right, who’s more familiar with getting to the border? Drive for me.”

“You want to leave the Land of Mercenaries?” someone asked, surprised.

Xu Cheng nodded.

Those guys immediately said to him, “If you can go out, then when you come back, we will go with you back to the Deviant Corp.”

“Okay.” Xu Cheng saw an odd light in their eyes, but he didn’t care too much about it.

Immediately, a team captain pursed his lips towards a guy on the side, and that guy walked up and said, “Big Brother Cheng, I can take you. I know the way well, I can help you avoid exits with lots of guards stationed.”

Xu Cheng nodded. “Then let’s go. You guys bring this guy back to the camp too.”

Xu Cheng said as he pointed at the car-thief on the side.

Then, the guy that was familiar with the paths drove Xu Cheng towards the border.

This guy did manage to help Xu Cheng avoid the territories of many forces and prevented trouble, and at last, they arrived at the border.

The border was linked to four other countries, and those four countries had blocked off all of their national borders to prohibit mercenaries from entering their country and affecting domestic security. It might be very easy to get in, but when you go out, cars would be prohibited, and including… people!

There are at most no more than 20 people on the Land of Mercenaries that could go in and out freely.

The brat driving the car said to Xu Cheng, “The border is ahead, and on this path, there are a hundred well-trained soldiers stationed. They have advanced weapons, and there’s surveillance everywhere, and drones too. There’s only one way to get out, and that is for them to let you out. There are no more than 20 people that can get a pa.s.s to go in and out freely! If you want to be our boss, then go and become the 21st person, how is that?”

Xu Cheng now understood what the strange look those guys had in their eyes meant. It was their way of testing him, huh?

Xu Cheng smiled and asked, “Could your boss get through?”

The young mercenary shook his head. “Nope. We Cobra are ranked 13th not because we are that strong, but because we dare to fight with our lives on the line. Once we have our eyes on our prey, we make sure our strikes are like poison, lethal! After you killed our guys, it would probably be just us that would chase out this far to try and get you. This is our feature, and many mercenary groups are afraid of us and that’s why we were given the high ranking.”

Xu Cheng said, “Then if not even your boss can, why are you asking me to prove it to you?”

“It’s to prove to all of us. We have about 200 people in our camp! If you don’t prove it to us, then Cobra doesn’t need to disband, we just need to get a new boss. But if you can prove to us your capabilities, then we will serve you! The soldiers ahead are the most fearsome ones of all border checkpoints, the most powerful one out of all the stations. Their average comprehensive strength is at the A-level. If you can pa.s.s it, then Cobra will forever be removed from the Land of Mercenaries!”

Xu Cheng smiled, patted the guy on the shoulder, and said, “I’m going out to sell the diamonds and won’t get back for a while, and I don’t have a car. How about this, after I go, you wait here for me and then drive me back when I’m done?”

“Sure!” the mercenary said. “If you can get out of here, then I will wait for you for however long it takes you! I will keep my word!”

Xu Cheng nodded. He pushed open the door and got out. The drones already detected him, and there were immediately soldiers stationed at the gate shouting at him, “Get the fack out of here, or we will execute you on the spot for trespa.s.sing past our border.”

Xu Cheng raised his arm and shouted back, “Don’t be so impulsive. I want to have a talk. Is your captain here?”

Someone pointed a gun with a red-dot laser at Xu Cheng and shouted, “Just speak there. Don’t step any closer.”

Xu Cheng said, “I want to leave, from your gate.”

The soldier: “Do you have a nationality?”

Xu Cheng: “No.”

The soldier was immediately annoyed as he shouted impatiently, “Get back into your car and get the fack out of here!”

Xu Cheng shouted back unwillingly, “I heard I can try and get a pa.s.s here!”

At this time, a guy on the sentry tower holding a pair of binoculars looked at him in disdain and said, “Do you know the qualifications you need to get a pa.s.s?”
