Chapter 77: Rebuilding Order

  Midi took a glance at the crowd with clear distinctions, and based on his experience as an adventurer when he first established the Falcon Team in his previous life, he basically understood what was going on - although their specific identities were still unclear, in short, they had startled many people.

  This was also within his expectation, not unexpected, and not a big deal either.

  With a calm expression, Middy walked up to Odell and casually threw the two captives on his shoulders onto the ground like sacks.

  Two dull thuds, like heavy hammers, slammed into the ears of the crowd, sounding exceptionally loud and piercing.

  This is a high-ranking member of the Blood Blade Team, a top-notch ghost swordsman. Now he's been cut down by the Ghost God and tossed around like two pheasants caught by novice hunters, hung upside down all the way home, then thrown into boiling water to scald off their feathers, waiting to be disembowelled and cooked in oil as a side dish.

  The atmosphere made the leaders of the five mercenary groups involuntarily shrink their heads and feel a chill rising from behind.

  "Aileen, are they okay? They didn't get hurt too badly, did they?" Midy asked.

  "Ah, everything's fine, the raid went smoothly! Don't worry, not a single member of Morning Star was hurt!" Odelle nodded seriously, but a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

  As expected, this person is different from those so-called first-rate mercenary groups.

  No one asked about winning or losing, nor did they care about the outcome of the battle. The young man in front of him, his first words upon returning were to ask about the lives and deaths of the members of the Morning Star team. Although he was extremely powerful and showed no mercy to his enemies, why was it that, unintentionally, he was so gentle?

  Audrey couldn't help but think so in her heart.

  "What about other aspects?" Mide continued to ask.

  Odelle, who had regained her composure, cleared her throat and said calmly and clearly: "Everything went smoothly. All sixty-seven prisoners were rescued. We found twelve pieces of jade leaves, two adventure logs, and four marked maps. As for the rest of the spoils, there are approximately 16,500 gold coins, over sixty pieces of various weapons, more than thirty relic treasures, and more than twenty spirit treasures. Would you like to review the list?"

  "It's all right..." Midori said in surprise.

  Although it was a one-to-one hundred battle, the time Meddy spent fighting wasn't long. After killing about forty people, Blood Blade's pursuit team collapsed on its own. It took some time to chase down two cadres afterwards, but all in all, it didn't take too long.

  In this short period of time, Odelle not only raided the Blood Blade base, beautifully sweeping the battlefield clean, comforting the captives, and receiving guests from other mercenary groups, but also accurately counted out several key spoils of war data.

  Such a concise management ability has indeed exceeded Midy's expectations.

  It seems that the rise of the Morning Star Mercenary Corps wasn't solely due to obtaining the legacy of the Elf King's Court. Probably, even without this legacy, Odell would still have been able to lead her team into the top ranks.

  At the same time, the leader of the five major mercenary groups, who was eavesdropping with his ears perked up in a most immoral manner, also looked at each other in dismay and astonishment.

  When did that Odelle, who was always independent and self-reliant, become so obedient? This tone, this expression, this degree of cooperation, is this still the "Firework Twin Guns" who never gave men a second glance?

  This is exactly the kind of gentle, considerate and virtuous personal maid who has an ambiguous relationship with her master that can't be clearly explained!

  This mysterious expert has been with the Morning Star Mercenaries for some time now, and has already reached this level?

  Several people in charge looked at Mi Di's gaze, and the tone changed instantly, with three points of admiration for the master of emotions, six points of unspoken resonance between men, and one point of jealousy, envy, and hatred.

  Midi was completely unaware of this kind of non-hostile, non-malicious and non-killing gaze. At the same time, he secretly admired Odessa's efficiency in his heart, and did not hide his admiration: "Miss Odessa counted so clearly, which will be very helpful for the next adventure."

  "If you hadn't eliminated Blood Blade's defensive team, I wouldn't have anything to calculate even if I could!" Odelle smiled and replied.

  To be recognized by a strong person is something worth being happy about for anyone.

  Moreover, it is still a strong person who values himself.

  However, the Blood Blade base won't just have these things, there must be some hidden rooms that store special items. Moreover, since we'll eventually clash in the future, we need to find a way to gather intelligence on the Blood Blade itself." Midei said, casting his gaze at the two unconscious captives on the ground, "The demonic energy of these two Ghost Swordsmen has already been disabled by me, let's start with them."

  As for XueJian, Odelle had always abhorred him and would never show mercy.

  Since Medici had made her attitude clear, she naturally didn't say another word and directly called over one of the experts from the Morningstar Mercenaries who was best at interrogation. He dragged in two prisoners, who were like sacks, into the cell and then locked the door.

  Only after dealing with all of that did Mi Di finally turn around and look towards the leader of the five major mercenary groups who had been waiting off to the side.

  Blood Blade Base has basically changed hands now, from now on it will be renamed Morning Star Base.

  Midi is the host, and the Five Great Mercenary Groups are the guests.

  The host is busy with his own affairs and leaves the guest aside, which is undoubtedly a kind of neglect.

  And it's intentional procrastination.

  However, the people in charge of the five major mercenary groups were apparently very patient. They didn't show any dissatisfaction or even half a sentence of complaint, and they quietly waited without disturbing until Middy and Odell finished all their arrangements before finally coming forward.

  This is a signal, an attitude, which indicates recognition of the power that Midy possesses.

  It's clear that the Five Great Mercenary Groups' extremely interesting attitude has also satisfied Miede, at least he won't have to waste any more time in Tuck Town.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for the late introduction. Please excuse me." Middy looked at the five people with a calm tone and said, "I am John, John of the Hawk's Team."

  An ordinary introduction, yet it made everyone feel an extraordinary taste.

  Even a lone adventurer with high combat power would likely show some different attitudes when facing the five major mercenary groups.

  This attitude may be tough, confident, arrogant, cautious, or even polite. After all, a strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, and when facing a powerful side, whoever it is will feel uncomfortable and tense.

  But the young man in front of him, who didn't look particularly impressive, seemed quite accustomed to this kind of one-on-many dialogue scene.

  Whether it's the plain and natural tone, or the calm and unruffled eyes, as well as the relaxed yet impeccable posture, all give people a sense of being full of ease.

  This is the ease with which a superior person treats an inferior one.

  The people in charge of the five major mercenary groups suddenly became serious, their faces involuntarily turning stern. Their original casual standing posture also gradually straightened up, becoming rigid and upright, as if they were receiving an inspection from the leader of the mercenary group.

  "You may not have heard of the name 'Falcon Team', after all, this is a newly formed team. I believe that in our future adventures, we will get to know each other better, so let's not say more about it for now. The key is," Midy smiled slightly and suddenly changed the subject, "now that the Blood Blade Mercenary Team has been defeated by the joint attack of Falcon Team and Morning Star, I think what's most important is to re-establish order in Tark Town. What do you all think?"

  They looked at each other, their eyes filled with uncontrollable surprise.

  How did it come to negotiations directly?

  They came with the intention of seeing for themselves, with their own eyes, what kind of role this powerful person was who had burst through the Blood Blade Gate. This was a probe, an assessment, and also an appraisal.

  But now, it seems that the opponent has only introduced himself, and then directly and easily took the initiative, and began to dominate the conversation.

  This young man, how is it that at this moment he gives off an air of someone who holds great power?

  Can't see through it!

  A moment of silence spread out, but just a short while later, the dark-faced twin blades guest spoke up first.

  "Mr. John, what you mean by 'rebuilding order', can you be more specific?" asked the Double Blade Guest.

  He belongs to the Mountain Wolf Mercenary Corps, which is famous for its strategy and has the most contact with nobles among all mercenary corps. Although the Double-Bladed Guest is not a person who communicates externally, he also knows that in this negotiation-like environment, the earlier you speak, the more questions you ask, the more likely you are to take the initiative.

  So he asked.

  "As soon as the Double-Edged Guest's words fell, Midei replied without hesitation, concisely and clearly: 'Of course, it is to rebuild the order of adventurers, each relying on their own abilities, competing with each other, but avoiding fighting and robbing.'"

  Although this life's foundation was built on the identity of a noble family, in his previous life, Mi Di as a fallen noble, spent most of his time as an adventurer, so he naturally understood this set of things all too well.

  At the end of the day, what is called adventure is to discover treasure before others and get it in hand, but if you snatch treasure from someone else's hands, that's not an adventure, but murder and robbery.

  At this moment, Mi Di's proposal to rebuild such a "competition" rather than "struggle" order is not to act as a savior or a moral guardian.

  Midi's goal is to further restrict and crack down on the Blood Blade Mercenary Group.

  Moreover, they also need to drag the five major mercenary groups together to attack Blood Blade.

  To be a cadre of the Five Great Mercenary Groups, one must naturally be an intelligent person, and they immediately grasped the meaning behind this seemingly simple phrase.

  The vice captain of the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps stroked his proud beard, gazing steadily at the young man before him, and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, I personally find those undisciplined kids from the Blood Blade to be quite annoying. However, you want my brothers to get involved in this blatant struggle for power? I'm afraid I cannot agree."

  "Besides, since we've come this far, who's backing the Blood Blade Mercenaries, shouldn't you know that too, Mr. John?" The dual-blade guest also coldly added a sentence.

  An objection was raised and a question asked, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
