When Francis revealed his identity as a Holy Order powerhouse, the hall of the Mercenary Guild of Riptide Castle fell silent, so quiet that even time seemed to stand still.

Francis had obviously advanced to the Holy Rank, if it was really as he said, the target of this dragon slay was only an injured green dragon, and with his own strength, it would not be too difficult to kill that green dragon. But he didn't slay the dragon by himself, but took great pains to hold a mercenary mission press conference, attracting mercenaries from all over the grassland to gather people to slay the dragon. This practice clearly means that the dragon who wants to be slaughtered can't even deal with him as a saint-level powerhouse. Now that everyone knew that the target of the dragon slay was a colorful dragon that was much more powerful than the green dragon, it was obvious that Ethan Berry had questioned Francis's words.

But now no one dares to challenge Francis anymore, Francis's status as a saint-level powerhouse shocked everyone, and even the originally menacing Leonard dispersed his fighting spirit, stood there with an embarrassed face, and closed his mouth.

Daniels was standing in the human wall formed by the Red Flame Dragon mercenaries at the moment, and he was also surprised in his heart after witnessing Francis's sudden revelation of the strength of the Holy Rank powerhouse, and the scene of the entire audience in Wei Town.

Before coming to the Northern Frontier Grassland, Daniels had learned from his teacher Urban that his colleague in the army was a ninth-level powerhouse. Urban's evaluation of Francis's strength is that although Francis has the hope of advancing to the Holy Rank, there is not much hope. After Daniels came to the Northern Frontier Grassland and mixed into the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group, he found that Francis had been away from the Holy Radiance Crusade for several years, but he was still a ninth-level powerhouse, and the current power of the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group was expanding rapidly, so Daniels thought that Francis had put all his mind on strengthening the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group, and did not spend too much energy to break through his personal strength.

Daniels realized then that he had guessed completely wrong.

However, Daniels also wondered a little in his heart, with Urban's eyesight, since he said that Francis's qualifications were not enough to have much hope of breaking through the Holy Order, then he would not be wrong. But now that Francis has not only unexpectedly broken through the Holy Rank, but also developed the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group to thrive, how did he manage to do both?

In addition, the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group was originally a mercenary group established by the Byzantine Empire's military department on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang, and it was a wedge to break into the territory of the orcs. Therefore, most of the leadership of the mercenary group is composed of former Shenghui Crusader officers from the Byzantine Empire, although the Bailong Sect has a deep penetration of the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group, but there are still some former Shenghui Crusader officers who have not joined the Bailong Sect. As far as Daniels knew, at least Jose, the second-in-command of the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Regiment and the deputy head of the ninth-level powerhouse, had not yet been controlled by the Dragon Worship Sect. Therefore, if Francis wanted to successfully command the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group in the past, he still had to act in the name of the Byzantine Empire's military department. But now that Francis has stepped into the Holy Order, Jose will be completely unable to balance Francis, and the speed at which the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Regiment will break away from the control of the Imperial Military Department will also be accelerated.

When Daniels thought of this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and his heart was worried.

At this time, Francis suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence in the mercenary hall: "Since the target of dragon slaying has changed now, it is not a green dragon, but a colorful dragon, then I might as well invite the owner who issued the dragon slaying task out and let him raise his reward." As for whether everyone will continue to undertake the task at that time, it will be up to you!"

As Francis's words fell, a human man dressed in black slowly walked out of the backyard of the mercenary union hall.

It was Ziegler.

"This is Mr. Gel, the owner of the dragon slaying mission!" Francis said. However, instead of saying Ziegler's real name, he simplified his name and said a pseudonym. After all, as Ziegler, who was once the guardian dragon of the Byzantine imperial family, his fame

It is too big, and it will inevitably cause panic and commotion among everyone after saying it.

Ziegler's aura of a dragon was completely restrained at this time, and none of the mercenaries present could tell that he was a dragon. He looked around at the crowd and said loudly, "If anyone can kill that colorful dragon, the reward will be increased from 500,000 gold coins to 1,500,000 gold coins!"

"Shhh

But soon someone came to his senses from the shock.

I saw that Leonard's face sank, and he asked, "Mr. Geer, didn't you know that this dragon was a colorful dragon and not a green dragon before you released the dragon slayer?"

"I don't know!" Zigler, giving Leonard a faint glance.

"Hmph!" Leonard couldn't help but look angry when he saw that Ziegler denied it like Francis. Now that Francis had advanced to the Holy Rank, he didn't dare to offend Francis, so this unknown owner suddenly became the target of his anger.

"As the owner of the posting task, can you even get the goal of the mission wrong?" asked Leonard, grimacing.

"Isn't it strange that I just accidentally mistook my target?" Ziegler sneered.

"You think I'll believe it?" Leonard took a few steps, reaching for Ziegler's collar.

Ziegler snorted coldly, his eyes glaring at Leonard. Leonard felt like he had been hammered to his chest, and he took a few steps back, and when he stood firm, a trace of blood slowly spilled from the corner of his mouth.

All the mercenaries in the field were shocked, just one look could injure a ninth-level peak powerhouse, needless to say, this Gu master named Gehr was also a Saint-level powerhouse, and he was not the lowest-ranking ordinary Bronze Saint-Rank powerhouse among the Saint-level powerhouses, at least a Bronze Peak Saint-level powerhouse.

"You're ......!" said Leonard, looking at Ziegler in shock and fear.

"The Colorful Dragon is a giant dragon above the Silver Saint Rank, but this Colorful Dragon has been seriously injured in the past, and its strength has been greatly reduced! The chances of me succeeding in slaying the dragon this time are actually not small!" Ziegler said slowly after calming down the situation in the audience.

"You said that the colorful dragon was injured, but there is evidence!" Esenberg said in a deep voice, "I see that when it slaughtered our mercenaries in the Zagaroni Mountains, it was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, and its movements were not clumsy and slow, not like it had been injured!"

"That's because you're too weak!" Ziegler said contemptuously, "You didn't put enough pressure on it in the fight to make its dark wounds worse, so it's normal not to see that it's injured!"

Hearing Ziegler's words of contempt, Esenberg's face turned blue and white. It took him a long time to suppress the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Since the level gap between us and the Colorful Dragon is too big, even if it is injured and fights with it, the result can only be that we are unilaterally slaughtered. Then what kind of dragon will we continue to slay? What is the difference between this and sending them to death in vain? The dragon slaying task issued by Your Excellency, it seems that our mercenary groups do not have the ability to accept it!"

Ethan Berry's words were greatly echoed by the mercenaries present. Immediately, many mercenaries claimed that even if the reward was greatly increased, they would give up the task of slaying the dragon, and bluntly said that if they have a life to earn money, they must also have a life to spend money!

"Later, Captain Francis and I will take action against that colorful dragon. As long as anyone can finally deliver a fatal blow to that colorful dragon, no matter what the battle process is in between, I will treat it as the colorful dragon he killed, and reward him with the 1.5 million gold coins. In addition, all participants in the later dragon slaying battle will receive 1,000 gold coins each. Ziglaire said lightly.

When Zieglaire proposed the conditions for a new reward for the Dragon Slaying Mission, many of the people in the field retreated

The mercenary couldn't help but move again. Listening to Ziglaire's meaning, if he and Francis fought with the Colorful Dragon, even if someone secretly picked up the leak and killed the Colorful Dragon, he would also recognize the reward of 1.5 million gold coins, which made the strong among the mercenaries suddenly have a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

Two bronze Saint-rank powerhouses fought against an injured Silver Saint-rank dragon, even if the chance of victory was less than half, at least it was not a sure defeat. Others might be able to make a big deal if they were to do the trick. And even if you can't get the reward of 1.5 million gold coins, as long as you participate in the battle with the colorful dragon, even if you paddle in secret, you can get a thousand gold coins, and this kind of trade is worth trying.

Although the mercenaries were already able to affirm that this guy named Gehr and Francis had teamed up to deceive everyone, and used the trick of issuing a false dragon slaying mission to lure everyone to act as the first wave of cannon fodder against the colorful dragon, but since both of them were saint-level powerhouses and had overwhelming strength in the face of everyone, since the two refused to admit that they deliberately deceived, everyone had to pretend to be stupid, and 'believe' that they had made a mistake in the initial information about the dragon slaying target.

Faced with the temptation of Ziegler's new reward conditions, after some careful consideration, although most of the mercenaries finally gave up this dragon slaying mission, there were still some mercenaries who decided to continue to participate in the later dragon slaying battle. Especially among the strong mercenaries, there are very few people who quit. Even Leonard, who was hurt by Ziegler's eyes, did not choose to quit.

Gathered in the mercenary union, the mercenaries who were originally going to ask for guilt slowly dispersed.

In the meantime, Daniels, who is a member of the 'human wall' of the Red Flame Fire Dragon mercenaries, has also left the mercenary union. Because a few days ago, he had heard a conspiracy conversation between the fire dragon Doragni and the cavalry captain of the Red Fire Dragon Mercenary Regiment, Obein, so as soon as the dragon slayer mission publisher Gehr appeared, Daniels guessed that he was actually the famous Byzantine imperial guardian Black Dragon Zigler.

After leaving the Mercenary Guild, Daniels, as usual, went to the 'House of the Brave' to find Ethelodius for a drink, and told Ethelodius what had happened in the Mercenary Guild at the wine table. Of course, he was tight-lipped about the conspiracy he had uncovered around the dragon-slaying mission, and did not reveal anything to Ethrodius.

After all, the relationship between him and Ethrodius had not yet reached that depth.

"Our Captain will leave Fort Riptide tomorrow with that Mister Gehr and set off for the Dragons-Slaying in Zagaroni Mountain. Our Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Regiment has also selected a group of elite warriors to accompany the regiment leader, and I am also in the ranks! After drinking with you this time today, I am afraid that I will not be able to drink with you for a while!" Daniels said.

"Now you go and slay the dragon, take me with you!" said Ethrodius after a deep groan.

"You're going too?" said Daniels, stunned for a moment, then surprised.

From Ethrodius's usual speech and demeanor, Daniels had long suspected that he was also a Saint-level powerhouse. Although Daniels was eager to invite Cerrodi to slay the dragon, he found that Ethrodius had been showing little interest in the dragon slaying mission issued by the Mercenary Guild, so it was difficult for him to offer him. Now that Ethrodius took the initiative to ask to join the dragon slaying team, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Hehe, the object of dragon slaying has changed from a green dragon to a colorful dragon, and then the owners and agents who issued the false dragon slaying tasks are all saint-level powerhouses. The two Saint-Rank powerhouses took such a great deal of effort to attract the mercenaries to use as cannon fodder to consume some of the strength of this supposedly injured Colorful Dragon, and it seems that they are very jealous of this Colorful Dragon! I am a little curious about the identity of this Colorful Dragon! The reward of the other 1.5 million gold coins even makes me a little tempted!" Cerrodi tapped his fingers on the table and chuckled thoughtfully.
