Chapter 659
659 The rise of the Statue of Liberty
As the Holy Dragon city’s reputation grew, more and more cultivators from various races went to the Holy Dragon City to make a living.
And after these cultivators came to Holy Dragon City, 90% of them would choose to become mercenaries!
It was for this reason that Holy Dragon City had a large number of mercenary groups, large and small. The number of registered mercenaries had already exceeded one hundred thousand!
Don’t underestimate this number, because the mercenaries in the world of loucheng were all real experts, and there was no one who was just there to make up the numbers.
If they were brought to the battlefield, they would definitely be a powerful force that could attack a city and destroy a country!
Moreover, among these mercenaries, there was no lack of people with shocking cultivation. In the process of carrying out missions, they had made some amazing performances and quickly gained fame.
It was in this environment that the G.o.ddess of freedom mercenary group, which was originally established by two transmigrators, not only did not get eliminated in the compet.i.tion, but its reputation also grew, and there were even some signs of the latecomers catching up.
Since the day they were established, they had constantly taken on all kinds of missions, and each time they completed it, it was very outstanding, which also made the evaluation of this mercenary group become higher and higher.
Sometimes, the mercenary Union would even take the initiative to contact the G.o.ddess of freedom mercenary group and give them some special missions.
The reason for such differential treatment was ultimately because the Statue of Liberty was famous enough, powerful enough, and had good credibility.
If other mercenary groups could also do this, the mercenary Union would naturally take the initiative to contact them, and at the same time release some special missions.
Important matters naturally had to be handed over to trustworthy people to do. Moreover, the essence of the Holy Dragon City mercenary a.s.sociation was to serve the Holy Dragon City.
This was the acknowledgment that came with strength. There was definitely no shady business.
Although the other mercenary groups were envious, they had to admit that the strength of the G.o.ddess of freedom mercenary group was not to be underestimated.
While the other mercenary groups had been searching for totems and couldn’t find a single one, the G.o.ddess of freedom mercenary group had managed to find seven or eight at once. Their strength and luck were obvious!
Everyone knew that this was a big fish, but if they wanted to swallow it, they must have a good appet.i.te, or they would definitely be stuffed to death!
Therefore, through this incident, the strength of the Statue of Liberty had been proven and was officially recognized by all the mercenaries in the Holy Dragon City!
This was not an easy thing to do because the compet.i.tion in the mercenary world was equally cruel. Every year, there were many mercenary groups that were removed for various reasons, and accidents happened from time to time.
If one didn’t have great strength, it would be very difficult to survive in such an environment.
The starting conditions of the Statue of Liberty were not outstanding, so not only did she not suffer any losses in such an environment, but she also became stronger and stronger. This in itself was already beyond the expectations of many people!
In fact, the glory of the Statue of Liberty today was related to Peter and hark’s full investment.
Their team members were well-equipped, and almost everyone had a pistol-like weapon. It was truly a luxury.
In their team, there were even five Gunners equipped with heavy machine guns. They were 2.4 to 2.5 meters tall and were fully equipped with heavy armor!
Once they opened fire, almost no enemy would be able to lift their heads under the suppression of the machine guns.
This was a powerful weapon that other mercenary groups were envious of, but very few had the qualifications to exchange for!
The main reason why the Statue of Liberty had accidentally seized so many totem statues this time was because of these machine guns.
It was the spirit destruction bullets they shot that suppressed the attacks of the totem spirits.
After that, the mercenary leaders of the Statue of Liberty destroyed them one by one. He took out a small mirror made of the fragments of the reincarnation mirror door. With the help of the watchman, he kept the totem spirits into the reincarnation mirror one after another!
Without these machine guns, they would not have been able to capture so many totem carvings at once!
Although the spirit annihilating bullets engraved with demon annihilating runes were expensive, the cost was really nothing compared to the harvest.
Therefore, the reason why the G.o.ddess of freedom mercenary group won this time was definitely because of those firearms and weapons!
Now that the Holy Dragon city’s strength was constantly improving and they had more and more powerful weapons, the strict restrictions on firearms and weapons had finally loosened up a lot.
Especially with the opening of the overseas battlefields, more and more mercenaries joined in, providing Holy Dragon City with a lot of help.
Therefore, even if these mercenaries weren’t residents of Lou city, Tang Zhen still released the restrictions on their firearms in order to improve the combat power of these mercenary groups.
However, the firearms that were handed over to these mercenary groups were basically obsolete equipment. Tang Zhen would not easily let go of the truly good things.
In order to adapt to the unique situation of the tower world, the firearms used by the Holy Dragon Army were almost all newly developed products or modified weapons. Every one of them was shockingly powerful!
The large number of weapons that were returned were basically all sealed up. A small portion of the weapons were directly sent to the mercenary a.s.sociation as rewarded equipment under Tang Zhen’s orders.
But even if it was an eliminated item, it was still a rare good item in the eyes of these mercenaries!
When these weapons were first placed on the counter, it triggered the exclamations of countless mercenaries. Their eyes were all red, and they swore to the heavens that they would definitely exchange for one!
The power of the Holy Dragon city’s firearms was obvious to all, and all of them had been itching to fight!
In particular, the machine gun and anti-material sniper rifle were G.o.dly weapons in the eyes of the mercenaries. They dreamed of having one.
In the past, he could not do anything about it because Holy Dragon City was extremely strict with the control of such weapons. Ordinary mercenaries had no chance of getting their hands on them.
However, now that the weapons were displayed and the mercenaries were allowed to exchange for them with points, they would not be able to forgive themselves if they missed this opportunity again!
He had to change, even if he had to p.a.w.n his pants!
These mercenary group leaders were determined, and at the same time, they looked around vigilantly, afraid that someone would be one step ahead and Exchange for these firearms!
In fact, they were overthinking it. If they wanted to exchange for these guns and weapons, they would need a huge amount of points, and most of the mercenary groups among them did not have that many points.
Even if some mercenary groups had so many points, they had also exchanged for other weapons and equipment one after another. Now, they couldn’t afford to take out any more.
After beating their chests and stomping their feet, these mercenary group leaders with bloodshot eyes immediately began to think of a way to add some firearms to the group!
There would only be rewards if there was an investment. Improving his team’s equipment standards would only bring benefits. Moreover, as the equipment’s level increased, there was a chance that the returns would double.
Especially after the Holy Dragon City opened up an overseas battlefield and gave extremely generous rewards, these mercenary group leaders had already realized that as long as they did this business well, not only could they get back the money they had invested, they could even take the opportunity to make a big profit!
He definitely could not miss such an opportunity!
As a result, the mercenary group leaders, big and small, immediately called their friends and called out to their companions. Together, they went straight to the big and small taverns and restaurants in Holy Dragon City. They took the opportunity to drink and chat to borrow points from each other.
However, the current mercenary group leaders of Holy Dragon City were all thinking of this. After all, no one wanted to miss this opportunity …
Therefore, it was basically impossible to borrow other people’s points to exchange for weapons during this time.
Helplessly, the mercenary group leaders had to lower their standards and spent almost all their points and cash to buy a batch of pistols and rifles, as well as a different number of ammunition.
Just as the mercenary group leaders were sighing at the machine gun, the G.o.ddess of freedom mercenary group, who had just returned from a mission outside, suddenly heard this message.
As transmigrators from the original world, Peter and hark naturally knew the power of machine guns and anti-material sniper rifles. They had long wanted to get their hands on a few of them to improve the long-range lethality of the team.
Unfortunately, even with their special background, they could not get their hands on these weapons that were strictly controlled by the Holy Dragon City!
Now that the Holy Dragon City had relaxed the restrictions on weapons and even allowed mercenary groups to own weapons like machine guns, this was simply a great thing for all the mercenaries in the Holy Dragon City!
After checking their points, the two were surprised to find that they had enough points to exchange for two heavy machine guns, and the rest of the skills could be exchanged for many weapons like pistols!
Since that was the case, what was there to hesitate about? he would immediately change!
