Chatper 45: Picking a Job
After confirming their was no one else in the barracks, I headed deeper into the alley and soon I was gone.
After a few minutes, I appeared 300 meters away from the barracks in another alleyway, and I started to wait for my other Sentries to send back information to me through our Hive Minds.
After waiting for a whole hour, I finally received the information gathered by the Sentries and I learned that there are 100 soldiers patrolling the city, while there is another 100 soldiers patrolling on top of the city walls. With the soldiers included in the barracks, the City of Zalos has a total of 700 soldiers and 1 commander.
I currently have 2,900 Ultron Sentries and with each casting [Golem Squad], with each Sentry able to summon 40 metal golems made out of Bronze Rank Metal, I can have a total of 116,000 Bronze Rank golems. If I wanted to I can easily squash this city like a bug if I wanted to but first I will go to the other cities and gather information about their armies.
If the book I scanned from the book shop is correct, then the Howen Kingdom has a total of 20 cities and a Royal City situated in the center of the Kingdom then once I have all the information I need, I will being my Conquest of this rotten Kingdom that believes in Human superiority.
After making up my mind, I started to head towards the Mercenary Guild, and while walking towards the Guild, my Sentries were appearing out of alleyways and gathered around me.
After walking for 10 minutes, I was in front of the Mercenary Guild again. I pushed open the Guild double doors and my 9 Sentries and I walked in while one of my Sentries closed the doors behind us.
Once we appeared in the Guild, it was nearly empty except for the Guild Receptionist at the Reception Desk and a few small Mercenary groups gathered around the giant Job Board on the right wall of the Guild. From what I could tell, there were a 100 papers with Mercenary Jobs on them, from what I learned from the Receptionist from yesterday these are called Job Notices.
When we entered, the few Mercenary Guilds turned their heads at us and only started for a few second before looking back at the Job Board and discussing what jobs they want to take. I headed towards the Job Board with my Sentries, and we stood behind the small groups scanning the Job Notices.
[Rank 1 Herb Gathering - 1 Bronze Coin for 5 Herbs]
[Rank 1 One Tail Wolf Slaying - 5 Bronze Coins per Wolf]
[Rank 2 Two Tail Wolf Slaying - 8 Bronze Coins per Wolf]
[Rank 1 Goblin Grunt Slaying - 5 Bronze Coins per Goblin]
[Rank 2 Goblin Soldier Slaying - 8 Bronze Coins per Goblin]
[Caravan Guard Needed - Heading towards City of Von - 10 Men needed - 5 Bronze Coins per man]
After scanning the Job Notices, I stopped on the sixth Job Notice which was for a Caravan Guard heading towards the closest city near the City of Zalos. I walked through the small mercenary groups crowding the Job Board and grabbed the Caravan Guard Job Notice and tore it off the Job Board.
I gripped the Job Notices and as I started walking towards the Reception Desk. I received a Ding
'DING' [1,000 Ultron Sentries have been manufactured. You now have 3,900 Ultron Sentries]
I smiled a little when I receive the notification.
'Now I have 3,900 Sentries. My Legion of Unity is slowly gaining strength, and soon it will be very powerful.' I was thinking to myself while still walking to the Reception Desk
Once I was in front of the Reception Desk, I placed down the Job Notice.
"We are taking this job." I said to the Receptionist
"EEEEK" shrieked the Receptionist and stumbled backwards and fell on her ass
After the Receptionist's loud shriek, all of the small Mercenary Groups around the Job Board turned their heads towards the our direction.
I looked at the Receptionist who was on the floor and noticed that she was one of the people who was here when I was registering as a Mercenary Group and was one of the people who rushed to the Training Grounds in the back to see what happened to the mercenary group I cut into pieces.
"Y..you...your the pe..ople who mas..mas...massacred the Black Rampage Mercenaries" the Receptionist stuttered out loud.
When the small Mercenary groups heard this, there was a lot of surprised gasp and they started talking loudly
"What the hell! These are the people who kill the Black Rampage Group!!" said a mercenary
"Fuck, there is only 10 of them and they killed a Rank 3 Disciple Warrior and 49 Rank 2 Disciple Warrior veteran mercenaries." shouted another mercenary
I This is the basic discussion and shouting that the small mercenary groups were shouting. I never turned my head and I just ignored there shouting while staring at the Receptionist
"Can you do your job please? We want to take this Caravan Guard Job." I said
"O...o...ok" stuttered the Receptionist
The Receptionist tried to stand up but she couldn't lift herself up, she was shaking in fear of us. No matter how hard she tried, she could stand up. I turned my head left and right to look for a new receptionist to help me with my Job Notice but when I look at any of the other 3 Receptionist, they were looking at me with a terrified look and they were shaking with fear,
I sighed softly, if I go to any of these other Receptionist, the most likely outcome would be they would get so scared that they become weak in their legs and fall down. I was scratching my head wondering what to do with this situation.
"WHAT"S GOING ON DOWN HERE!" shouted a man
I turned my head to find a tough looking man with scars on his face was slowly coming down the stairs. He was wear long sleeve shirt and pants but even with his clothes on, you can easily tell how muscular and tough this guy was and with my eyes I could see his energy levels like the Scouters from Dragon Ball. This man was a Rank 3 Disciple Warrior who is closed to leveling up to a Rank 4 Inferior Warrior.
The man soon was down the stairs and he walked behind the Reception Desk and was looking at me and then the Receptionist with a questioning look.
"Guild Master, I am sorry but I am unable to feel my legs and I can't stand up" cried the Receptionist
