Lonely Swordsman - C33

When the Battle Wolf Guards were about to be annihilated, the heavens were right in front of them, and the change finally happened. The Sea Shark Mercenary Group had encountered Waterloo in the east on the second day after they defeated the Battle Wolf Guards.

To be honest, Sharks and their two brothers (other than the lone wolf, there was also a wild fox) were on vacation in Mianzhou. When the wild fox became a zombie during the disaster, it would naturally attack the lone wolf closest to it when it woke up. After that, facing the persistent wild fox, Shark and Lone Wolf had no choice but to join hands and kill him. Speaking of which, the strength of Lone Wolf after evolving was much greater than a shark. However, sharks were always the bosses, so sharks became the captains of the later Sea Shark Mercenaries, while Lone Wolf became the vice captains.

As for why Lone Wolf had clashed with Qiu Yongqiang, it all started from three days ago. At that time, a search party from the Sea Shark Mercenary Group had clashed with another party from the east. Of course, Hai Sha had done this many times, so he didn’t take it seriously at all.

This morning, a group of more than a hundred people came to the door to demand an explanation. When had a shark ever lost its momentum?” Therefore, Lone Wolf also brought over a hundred people to welcome them. The other side was naturally quite domineering, but when had Lone Wolf ever been soft? As a result, they started fighting the moment there was a disagreement. Who knew that the powerful Lone Wolf who was 1.90 meters tall would be killed by a short man whose height was less than 1.6 meters. After Lone Wolf was finished, the more than one hundred members of the Sea Shark Mercenary Company were defeated in an instant like a bunch of chickens and dogs. When the other side retreated, they even sent word to the defeated soldiers requesting 100 tons of rice compensation within three days.

The shark who received the report was furious. However, the shark was a cautious person, so he immediately sent someone to investigate the situation. This investigation not only brought the strong Yi An to the eyes of the shark, but also the great sea shark’s Southwest Hunting Hawk. The results of the investigation gave Shark a chilling feeling, so he had to obediently deliver 100 tons of rice on the third day.

But what next? Sharks had been sleepless for several nights, how could they still have the energy to care about the Battle Wolf Guards? After all, with such a powerful evil neighbor present, who could sleep in peace? Moreover, the death of Lone Wolf had greatly reduced Hai Sha’s strength.

The shark’s strategy had to be changed! So, after a few days of consideration, the shark made a decision. After a week of negotiations, in order to fight against the two common strong enemies, the Mercenary Alliance was officially established in the prefectural city of Songzhou. The other factions were also known as the Mercenary Group, so the Battle Wolf Guards had also become the Battle Wolf Mercenaries.

The Mercenary Alliance adopted the Council of Ministers system, and Shark was naturally elected Chairman. After all, Hai Sha was the strongest, while Zhu Fujun and the other leaders of the other factions were elected members.

After that, a few other factions joined the mercenary alliance, and by mid-October of 2027, the framework for the Thirteen Mercenary Alliance was finally formed.

After Zhang Xiang arrived, the first thing he cared about was his daughter, Zixin. The Battle Wolf Mercenary Company also paid a lot of attention to her, so Zhang Lilin managed to find 16 teachers and students who knew her from the 800 survivors in the Mianzhou Medical School, two of them were classmates of Zixin’s. However, none of them had seen Zixin before the catastrophe, so Zhang Xiang’s heart immediately sank.

On the afternoon of the day that Zhang Xiang’s diplomatic mission arrived at the Battle Wolf Mercenary Company, the two captains of the Battle Wolf Mercenary Company held a grand welcoming banquet for Zhang Xiang in a hotel. At the banquet, the heartless Iron Army Mountain naturally bragged about the fierceness of his sworn brother Zhou Tianyu and the soldiers under his command during the banquet. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as number one in literature or number two in martial arts. Zhu Fujun and Zhang Zhenglin naturally had a large number of powerful men under their command.

After three rounds of drinking, a man stood up at the table to Zhang Xiang’s right. He had a handsome face and was quite tall. His pair of big black eyes were filled with pride. He was holding a wine cup in one hand and a bottle in the other. He strode forward and arrived in front of Zhang Xiang in a few steps. He raised his cup and said, “President Zhang, let me toast you!” After that, he drank three cups of wine.

This man was named Qian Jun, the captain of Zhu Fujun’s guards, and also Zhu Fujun’s trusted aide. Before Qian Jun’s catastrophe, he was a basketball center of the city sports association, he had a tall and strong build, and after his catastrophe, he evolved into a strong man. He was not much stronger than Huang Xiaogang, and could be said to be the number one expert of the Battle Wolf Mercenary Company.

After drinking three cups of wine, he looked at Zhang Xiang and said, “President Zhang, hello. I’m Captain Zhu’s brother, Qian Jun. I’ve heard that there are many experts in your camp, and I’ve also practiced the style of crops. I’m not sure if I have the qualifications to receive a few pointers from President Zhang?”

“Brother Qian is too polite, but I am a civilian, so I’m afraid I will disappoint you.” Although Zhang Xiang was also an evolved human, he didn’t know what type of energy he was training in, the black and white pearls didn’t have the slightest reaction to it, moreover, I was constantly in management and didn’t have much time to train, so I’m quite clear about my own strength. However, one of the important goals of this mission was to show off their muscles, so how could they weaken their momentum? Therefore, Zhang Xiang paused for a moment before pointing at Zhang Xinlin and said, “But as the new Brother Lin of my family, he also likes to play martial arts. If Brother Qian doesn’t mind, I can also find a time to learn from him.”

“Hahahaha, President Zhang’s suggestion is too good. Our two families should have more exchanges. We heard from Da Lao Tie that your camp’s combination of combat techniques is very powerful, we all want to experience it. I think we should take five rounds, three wins, four one-on-one matches, and then have another group battle. Zhu Fujun was also a martial artist, and he was also a powerful martial artist, so he was not satisfied with Tie Ta’s boasting. In addition, Old Tie had reported to him earlier on the impressiveness of the other party’s combo tactics. Naturally, he wanted to see it for himself. Also, Zhu Fujun’s proposal of four individual duels for a group battle was also very well thought out because he estimated that he would most likely lose, but there was nothing he could do in order to get a better understanding of his opponent’s combined fighting style. As for the battle between Qian Jun and Zhang Xinlin, although Qian Jun didn’t think that he would lose, he knew that the opponent would most likely send out an expert to support him. This expert was most likely Zhang Xinlin, so it would be foolproof to add three one-on-one matches, since the opponent definitely wouldn’t send out all of their experts.

“Alright, alright, since Guild Leader Zhu is so interested, then I will respectfully accept.” Zhu Fu Jun’s suggestion was just as Zhang Xiang wanted, thinking that he would definitely win the group battle and Zhang Xin Lin’s match, and Li Ping’s victory was also very big. Therefore, Zhang Xiang also laughed.

At half past two in the afternoon, the students had finished their meal and were moving to the Battle Wolf Mercenary Company’s training field. This was a large sports field for a middle school. After the two sides had arranged their troops in a simple formation, the match began.

On Zhang Xiang’s side, the order of appearance was: Team 3’s leader Yang Bin, Team 2’s leader Zhou Xiaowei, Li Ping, Zhang Xinlin, and Team 1 led by Li Ping.

The first time Yang Bin fought with Zhang Zheng Lin’s guard captain Wang Ping, Wang Ping’s strength was slightly lower than Zhang Zheng Lin’s, and he was ranked 4th in the Battle Wolf Mercenary Company. At the start of the match, Yang Bin, who had received the formal combat training from Wei Dong, threw Wang Ping, who was a head taller than him, onto the ground with a flip of his back. Wang Ping, who only had his physical strength, was tall and strong. However, because he did not know inner force, facing Yang Bin, who had gone through regular fighting training and his fighting experience was not the least bit weaker than him, Wang Ping’s fingers went numb from Yang Bin’s inner force the moment he took over. After a few more rounds, Wang Ping was too ashamed to continue the fight. He could only lower his head and admit defeat.

Qian Jun was the second Battle Wolf Mercenary Company to fight. After all, the two other contestants were Zhang Zheng Lin and Zhu Fu Jun. In addition, he had unexpectedly lost that match just now. Zhu Fujun couldn’t help but mutter in his heart, thinking, could it be that my judgement was wrong? Was that Yang Bin the real expert? After all, looking at Yang Bin’s attitude, even if he himself appeared, it was unlikely that he would win. Thus, he needed to quickly recover his face. However, it was because of this that the entire army had not been revived and had more or less brought back some face for the Battle Wolf Mercenaries. Of course, they did not know whether or not he was actually the number one Battle Wolf expert, Zhang Xiang and the rest, especially since Zhou Xiaowei was also a proud and arrogant person, there was no possibility for him to have a stage fright. However, although Zhou Xiaowei and Yang Bin had gone through the same formal training and experience, there was a huge disparity in their strength. After more than half an hour of fighting, they had no choice but to admit defeat. Of course, it wasn’t that easy for Qian Jun to win either.

In the third and fourth matches, after the powerful Li Ping and Zhang Xin Lin entered the stage, Zhang Zheng Lin and Zhu Fu Jun admitted defeat. After all, in front of absolute strength, they had no way to maintain their dignity.

The group battle that followed was naturally the performance of Qingshan Guards. Facing the fully armed Li Ping’s four-man team, the other side felt as if they were an ant trying to shake a tree, only feeling a deep sense of powerlessness. At this point, the Battle Wolf Mercenaries finally understood why Zhou Tianyu’s Mianzhou Leopard Squadron could be like Zhao Zilong in the army of zombies.

In the end, Li Ping led the entire team of twelve to perform with the Six Vein Divine Sword, causing everyone’s eyeballs to fall out of their sockets. When they learned that this was the legendary Six Vein Divine Sword, they naturally had their hearts set on it.

Over the next two days, Zhang Xiang discovered that the Battle Wolf Mercenary Company was organized in an orderly manner and didn’t lose their bottom line like most of the other places that they were gathered at. So Zhang Xiang followed the set pattern he had discussed and after a series of negotiations, he finally agreed to the other party’s request: Pass the combination of the battle tactics, the Six Passages Divine Sword, and the corresponding Chen family’s inner force skill cultivation method to the Battle Wolf Mercenary Group in the first three stages.

Two months ago, the Battle Wolf Mercenary Company established the largest steel market in Mianzhou. There were over two thousand tons of all kinds of steel and nonferrous metals in the market, which were the most important strategic resources of Little Qingshan’s self-rescue camp. Thus, after a discussion, Zhang Xiang agreed to use a combo battle method, the Six Vein Divine Sword, the Chen family’s internal energy method, and weapons and equipment that could equip 2,000 people to exchange for these 2,000 tons of metal materials. Later, Zhang Xiang, considering that the self-rescue camp currently had a serious shortage of vegetables, helped them to produce 500 tons of fresh vegetables (enough for more than 10,000 members of the Battle Wolf Mercenary Company to eat for a month or two and get fresh vegetables grown on their own), and provided vegetables and grain seeds free of charge, as well as technical support to help them grow grains and vegetables in the wild. To be honest, this move made both Guild Leader Zhu and Company Leader Zhang extremely grateful. It also made everyone in the Battle Wolf Mercenary Company abnormally happy.

In addition, other agreements have been reached, such as the two parties being able to recruit relevant technical and managerial personnel they desperately need in each other’s areas. For example, both sides had formed a mutual defense alliance to provide each other with effective support in case of an emergency (To be honest, this was especially crucial for the Battle Wolf Mercenaries, and could be said to be a genuine emergency).
