I Am A Legendary BOSS Chapter 238 - The City of Dawn Was Transforming (1)

Chapter 238 The City of Dawn Was Transforming (1)

The arrival of 200,000 Moonlight Elves didn’t bring chaos to the City of Dawn. This city had been a neutral Camp from the start where many races co-existed.

It was the elves who felt a little comfortable. Nonetheless, nothing went wrong under Annie’s care.

William wanted to keep a low profile. He would go out and explore only after the Darkness invasion would end, which was 30 days later.

As of now, stabilizing the City of Dawn’s power was the most crucial thing.

Numerous players were particularly shocked by the Black Lava Dukedom’s decision. It made no sense.

The players belonging to the Black Lava Dukedom were at a loss of what to do now. Their Camp no longer had any power over military decisions, and all Black Lava Dukedom legions belonged to the City of Dawn now.

Oh my G.o.d!

What kind of sick move was this!

No one had imagined this to happen.

Question marks were all over the Black Lava Dukedom’s sub-forum now.

“Erm, I don’t know whether the King’s head got kicked by a donkey or eaten by a cat. Does he think that he still has control over the Black Lava Dukedom without any military power?” A female player named ‘I Have A Red Bean At My Chest’ commented, confused.

“Also, tens of thousands of Seraphkin have sought refuge at the City of Dawn, which has complete domination over this region. Which force in the southeastern region can contend against them?”

“The Black Lava Dukedom legions have been escorted away. It is said that they are going for some sort of training.

The City of Dawn has dispatched the (Dawn Guard Legion), a ma.s.sive army consisting of tens of thousands of professionals. On the surface, they claim that they are helping to kill the dark creatures and maintain law and order. However, this basically means that the King of the Black Lava Dukedom has no more actual power, and everything is just in name.”

In short, the Black Lava Dukedom players were dumbfounded. Even after the Darkness invasion would end, with its remaining 8 legions, the Black Lava Dukedom would still be rather powerful.

However, in merely a few days, the Black Lava Dukedom surrendered to the City of Dawn because it apparently couldn’t handle the dark creatures. It was a completely lousy reason…

This made the players start to question if the Black Lava Dukedom was actually a spy for the City of Dawn.

Nonetheless… they had no evidence!

And even after all of that happened, the City of Dawn’s subsequent actions didn’t show any intention of s.n.a.t.c.hing the Black Lava Dukedom’s territory.

Their legions neither meddled in the city’s operations, nor did they interfere with any political trend in the nation. Players weren’t messed with, and the Camp missions also weren’t affected.

The Dawn Army guarded the city in a regulated and orderly manner, getting rid of dark creatures everywhere.

In all honesty, both the players and the NPCs knew that William was the Lord of the City of Dawn.

He also owned the Dawn Mercenary Team.

It was obvious.

What was the use of mercenary teams in this magical fantasy world?

War and money!

The need for mercenary teams in this magical fantasy world arose because of war.

An example would be the Mercenary Guild, one of the top forces in the Legendary continent. One of its roles was to act as a middleman, encouraging professionals to be mercenaries.

The Mercenary Guild would provide the person who published the mission with a solo mercenary or mercenary teams based on what type of mission it was.

However, regardless of whether it was a solo mercenary or a large-scale mercenary team, they weren’t counted as a major force.

They were mainly required for wars, which meant endless fighting and killing.

That was why their development potential was limited. No matter how strong they were, they could never become a formidable force.

After all, mercenaries had only slowly developed over time to become Private Military Contractors (PMCs). This magical world was so backward, so how would they be able to think of this idea!

William was going to change the system!

As a neutral Lord, the City of Dawn’s territory was only so big. Even if he wanted to expand territory, he could only do so outside of the Legendary continent.

However, now wasn’t the time for that. He hadn’t even fully developed Stormy Island, so for the time being, he didn’t have the energy to search for more foreign territory.

Then what was he going to do if he wanted to partic.i.p.ate in other main storyline missions and even wars?

The answer was to transform the City of Dawn’s regular army into PMCs!

What would that mean?

It meant that the regular troops of the Dawn Army could take on more outsourced missions, which would include tasks like maintaining law and order, training soldiers, logistic services, and so on.

Of course, their main task would be to take care of the dark creatures and protect the nation that hired them from being invaded.

Why was William doing this?

Of course, it was because none of the forces in the southeastern region could match up to him.

If the City of Dawn wanted to develop, achieve progress, and become stronger, they could not be satisfied with their current state. Not only did the Dawn Mercenary Team need to expand, but the regular troops were also required to take on missions that didn’t require too much combat strength.

For example, if two nations were at war, the (Dawn Guard Legion) wouldn’t partic.i.p.ate in it. But they could maintain law and order, as well as prevent any forces from rebelling. This would allow the nations to be able to allocate more manpower, up to 4 or 5 more legions to fight in the war!

How awesome was that?

How cool was that?

There was nothing bad about this idea. Brother, hurry, and hire us to take care of your homes!

When the Black Lava Dukedom and Iron Dukedom started a war, both sides allocated 4 or 5 legions to take care of their rear. They were afraid that the other party would take the chance to attack their vulnerable points behind the frontline. However, this resulted in both sides having not enough manpower at the frontline.

With the Dawn Army’s initiative, they wouldn’t need to worry about that. They could fight it out on the frontline while the Dawn Army took care of their backs.

You might ask, why didn’t any nation hire any mercenary teams to look out for them in the past?

The key thing was that the mercenaries were too savage and uncultured. They knew nothing other than killing people!

Protecting?

It would be fine if you asked them to transport some things, but one could not be sure that they could help keep one’s nation safe and secure.

Killing, raping, and plundering, these were things that mercenaries usually did. It was no wonder that no one dared to place too much trust in them.

You wanted to ask them to guard your nation?

They would probably steal everything you had!

However, the Dawn Army was different. They were regular troops, and their duty was to protect their homeland. There was nothing to worry about since they knew how to maintain law and order.

As long as one had credibility, one could definitely achieve progress!

Besides, although the Dawn Army couldn’t partic.i.p.ate in high-intensity wars, the Dawn Mercenary Team could. As the largest mercenary team in the southeastern region, the Dawn Mercenary Team had more than a hundred thousand chosen ones. They could fight in any war they wanted, as the players were not afraid to die.

Currently, a hundred thousand players were only gaining experience points and gold coins from the missions that William posted. But this couldn’t possibly work out in the long term.

Players would get sick of those missions one day. And once they became stronger, they would want to head out and explore, which meant that they would leave the City of Dawn Camp.

Prince William couldn’t cope too. There were more and more players joining the game. Also, this was the beginner’s village…

Therefore, under the circ.u.mstances that there weren’t any external threats to his territory.

Lord William was going to execute his drastic transformation plan.

The regular troops and mercenary team under his name were going to be renamed (Dawn Guard Legion) and (Dawn Sharp Blade Legion). The regular troops’ main job would be to defend while the players would attack!

Of course, the Black Lava Dukedom’s move was something that can only be done once. That was because William had secretly taken control over the Black Lava Dukedom a long time ago, which was why the Black Lava Dukedom gave up their military power so easily.

Otherwise, no matter how impressive the security aid was, no nation would willingly give up all their military power and hope that an outsourced legion could protect their entire nation.

The City of Dawn was slowly undergoing a transformation. There was no rush in it, and it couldn’t be rushed too.

Some things still need to be discussed!

Hence, William called Roderick, the messenger of the southeastern region Mercenary Guild, to make a trip to the City of Dawn.

The two of them met again in the meeting hall. Roderick heartily laughed and gave William a bear hug.

William pushed him away and made a disgusted face at him. He served Roderick a drink. “It’s been half a year only, and you’ve also become an Advanced professional?”

“My progress is nothing compared to yours. Now, not only are you strong individually, but you also possess a formidable force in the southeastern region.” Roderick gave William a thumbs-up and sighed with emotion.

After that, he smiled and continued speaking. “Oh right! What business do you have with me? If you had contacted me any later, I would have already been on my way to the southeastern region.”

“Nothing much, I just have a suggestion for the Mercenary Guild.” William inwardly smiled.

“What suggestion?” Roderick slightly frowned.

“I have an idea to create [Guard Legions), or rather (Mercenary Guards). Allow me to explain it to you. After you listen to my suggestion, you will know that this would definitely bring more mission opportunities to the Mercenary Guild.” William smiled and began to entice Roderick. He didn’t believe that Roderick would be immune to his suggestion!

In other words, the Mercenary Guild would definitely accept his suggestion!

The Mercenary Guild had already reached its maximum development potential. They needed a new system.

As the first person to provide such a suggestion, William would definitely be at the center of attention, and he would be valued.

It could even be said that any missions of this type in the future were going to be modeled based on how the [Dawn Guard Legion) did things!
