Chapter 800: Chapter 800: New Business - Troop Rental
When Fang Jie rushed to the front, he nearly died of anger.
Because although his demigods were huddling together for warmth and running away swiftly, the number of demigods gathered by the opponent in this area was simply too many. In three days of battle, his demigods had lost five.
One should know that these were five demigods – even for Fang Jie, the loss was extremely painful.
"Great, you’re really capable, calculating against me and even targeting my subordinates, huh?"
Fang Jie was blunt, and after communicating with his subordinates, he waged war that very day and then Fang Jie ambushed secretly. An attack from someone of this strength was not something an ordinary person could endure.
As a result, more than thirty demigods gathered by the opponent were almost completely wiped out in this battle.
Although a few of Fang Jie’s demigods were seriously injured, serious injuries weren’t a big deal as long as they could recover afterward.
Fang Jie took them away and then swapped in a few uninjured ones, letting them completely occupy this area.
"Haha, Fang Jie, you came out. You are now our god of killing," Fang Jie heard the opponent laugh out loud just after he communicated with Kugu, the laughter seeming to contain something he was unaware of.
"Indeed, Fang Jie, none of us expected you to be so formidable. You kept it too well hidden before."
The others had also arrived beside Emperor Skeleton, as if to confirm his own situation.
Listening to them speak one after another, Fang Jie finally understood what was going on. It turned out that it was those from the Hunting Team who had leaked his situation. It couldn’t really be considered a leak, more like an announcement.
As for whether he would be in danger, that they didn’t care about. After all, boosting their own morale was the priority, how could they conceal it? If Fang Jie died because of this, it would only show that he wasn’t strong enough.
This was the consistent style of the Undead Camp, not caring in the slightest about the risk to others.
Besides, Fang Jie was already targeted, and a hunting team of this level wasn’t something that ordinary people could use.
"Alright, I got it." Fang Jie was somewhat frustrated, and the others did not inquire further. After all, it was one’s own secret, how could they just blurt it out?
The Hunting Team could leak it casually, but they were all insiders and couldn’t just ask.
"So, my reputation is quite significant now, isn’t it?"
"Of course, in this plane, there’s nobody who doesn’t know of you now." This referred to demigods; there were still many below that level who were unaware. Many legendaries within the Beastman Camp didn’t know about this.
After all, spreading the word wasn’t to their advantage, but those at the Demigod Level needed to know.
Otherwise, if they encountered Fang Jie, they might come knocking on his door to offer their deaths, which would be dying in vain.
"I recall that many people lack troops on the frontlines, right? And many others are also lacking."
Emperor Skeleton nodded, "That’s right, not everyone has so many troops at their disposal, even if they’ve opened up the channels, they still need to retain a lot of their force to protect their homes."
Just like when Fang Jie was weaker, although his troop strength was very formidable at that time. But others at his level were different.
Some people even hesitated to bring troops along and ended up completing missions alone.
So, troops were still very important to them. Especially for Legendary Experts, if they could have some Gold-level troops supporting them, they could hunt down the opponent’s legends.
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Since that’s the case, I have more troops on my side, and continuing to expand now is a bit troublesome. I’m thinking of leasing out our troops; what do you think about it?"
Emperor Skeleton’s eyes flickered with flames, "Are you sure? You really want to lease out your troops? You do have a lot of troops now, but even increasing them several folds might not be enough."
Fang Jie nodded, "Of course, I’m certain. After all, I have ample troops."
After thinking some more, Fang Jie continued, "As long as they pay a hiring fee, that’s fine. Even if they are totally wiped out afterward, I won’t blame them." His troops were indeed too cheap.
If he leased out not the elites but the more ordinary ones, to be honest, he really wasn’t worried about any losses.
Even if they paid a little less in hiring fees, Fang Jie himself would still come out way ahead.
"Just soul crystals and Corpse Bones, right? Other items can be used in place, correct?"
Fang Jie continued to nod, Emperor Skeleton had thought all this through for him, "Since you insist, then let’s do it this way. Of course, if elites and heroes emerge amongst the troops, they must also be sent back; this must be written into the contract."
Unfortunately, the production rate of elites and heroes in the Undead was far too low compared to other Camps.
At this level, other Camps could use Hero Units to form armies, but they still couldn’t. Even Fang Jie only used Hero Units as team leaders and didn’t consider forming them into a separate team.
Emperor Skeleton, obviously, had much more experience with these matters than Fang Jie.
Most of the time, Fang Jie fought his battles alone, rarely cooperating with others.
"Alright, that’s settled. I’ll go back and rally more troops." In reality, Fang Jie was going to produce more troops, but he couldn’t say that. After all, that production capacity was a bit exaggerated.
Emperor Skeleton didn’t stop him; Fang Jie could provide what was needed on his own. Moreover, doing well in this matter would greatly benefit him. With sufficient merit, he could exchange for beneficial goods he wanted.
Thus, with the cooperation of both sides, this matter was promptly put into action.
The battles at the frontlines were fierce; they didn’t want to lose their own troops, so leasing Fang Jie’s troops became very important.
Even for the Undead, producing their own troops was troublesome. Thus, they quickly signed the Contract, and soon a large number of troops were sent to the frontlines, making the fighting there even more intense.
Although each order from other places was small, when added up, they were significant.
These people originally lacked troops, so relative to that, it was easier for them to provide resources. With troops, they could easily achieve many things, undoubtedly earning greater merits and more benefits this time.
Now, Fang Jie’s reputation became even more resounding, but this time, it was in a more favorable direction.
This was internal trading within the Undead System, the Beastman Camp was unaware. However, overall, they felt increasing pressure. They just didn’t know where this pressure was coming from, feeling more and more helpless.
The battlefield transformed from a deadlock to them being constantly squeezed.
If sisonle wasn’t the expansion, they would probably consider mobilizing even more people into this world. They never imagined that the key to this change was a small Territory.
