Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

Leo was monitoring everything and made sure that nothing went wrong. All data was recorded and analyzed, and his team was ready to go into action at any moment.

Jessica also returned in the morning, bringing news about the result of her spreading information.

"It seems that everyone is on board." She said as she handed her report to Leo. "The other Sects are sending their warriors and their representatives to the alliance headquarter. They didn't want an evil man like Kang Jian to have control over the Central Plains and the world."

"Good. This is the result we need." Leo nodded, his eyes sharp. "We have to move quickly and finish this before Kang Jian regains his strength and revive the Supreme Evil. Let's go."

He rose from his chair and walked out of the room.

Right now, he was in Mercenary Union base where everyone was getting ready for the war. They had received information about the alliance and the situation in the Capital.

The Elders were waiting for them at the alliance headquarter, and they needed to move fast.

In the Mercenary Union's main hall, many people had gathered. They were members who accepted Leo's request to join the war and fought under his command.

"Everyone, it's time to move!" Leo's voice rang in the air, and he raised his fist.

"We have a mission to complete, and we will finish it! Each of you will be given 5 Golds in advance and another 5 Golds upon returning. Each head you took worth 10 silvers, and 50 Golds for the commander. In case you're dead, 10 Golds will be given to the name you've written in your will! Are you ready?!"

"Yes, sir!"

Everyone answered loudly, their eyes filled with determination and their hands holding their weapons tight. No one backed down, and they were ready to fight.

"Then, let's go! Destroy Kang Jian! We will topple the Murim Alliance today!"

"OOOOOOHHHH!"

With that, the Mercenary Union moved out. Their enemies waited for them in the capital, and they were ready for a fight.

Leo watched the people who were leaving. He had chosen some group to be the leaders, showing the mercenaries where to go and who to fight.

Meanwhile, he had a separate mission to complete. He had to arrive at the Capital in less than a day and rescued the Elders from the headquarters. They would become a good morale support for the Sects who would join the war.

"Is this the place?"

He went into a secluded clearing inside the forest with Jessica and Chiaki.

The reason why he was here was because Chiaki had created a vehicle using the Armory Room.

"Yes, Leader. I have hidden it using the stealth function, but it's definitely here. Let me just... Done."

A large cube that looked like a storage room appeared in front of them. It was hidden behind a huge boulder, making it invisible to the eyes. When Chiaki clicked a button on the cube, it opened, revealing a large vehicle with a shape of a stealth aircraft carrier from the modern world.

It had rotors and blades on top, making it able to fly even without a long runway.

"Good job. This is exactly what we need."

"Thank you, Leader. But this is not all. Come and see this."

Chiaki and Leo entered the vehicle. The interior was luxurious and spacious, and the seats were comfortable and made of leather.

"Unable to be detected from outside and block any Qi. I incorporated the knowledge from the Supreme Qi's epigraph to create this by using a custom function of the Armory Room. There is also a weapon as strong as your railgun integrated into the hull. We can destroy an entire mountain with it."

"Nice job, Chiaki."

Leo nodded and looked around the interior. He was impressed with the craftsmanship and the detail.

There was one seat for a pilot, one for controlling weapon, and one for navigation. It was a vehicle that was operated by 3 people, and the other seats could be folded or hidden inside the wall.

The control system was also simple to operate, and they could control the vehicle from any seat.

However, simple didn't mean easy. The vehicle was so powerful that it could destroy anything in its path, and it was so fast that they could arrive at the Capital in less than an hour.

"Jessica will take care of the navigation while you take care of the piloting, Chiaki. I believe I can use Qi to strengthen the weapon, no?" Leo asked, turning to Chiaki.

"Yes, that's right. However, you have to use it with caution as it will consume a lot of Qi. You have to fuel the entire vehicle because the railgun's main energy is taken from the same core as the rest of the weapon. It's like a nuclear reactor. So, make sure you have enough Qi before using it."

"If there is something overflowing in me, that's Qi."

Due to Leo's unique method to reach 9 Stars, his Nanites had adapted to absorb and use Qi as energy. This made his Qi capacity increase rapidly, and he could use it without any problem.

And precisely because his Nanites had Qi, every time it recovered or multiplied, his Qi was also increasing. So he could also recover his Qi using the Nanites capsule, making him basically had infinite Qi as long as he had plenty of it.

'I have around 200 capsules in my storage ring right now.' He thought, his eyes sharp. 'That's more than enough for this mission. Should be.'

So, he was confident that he could use the weapon without a problem.

"Well, let's go. Our clients are waiting for us." He sat on his designated seat, and Chiaki and Jessica took their position.

Their bodysuits changed shapes and created a helmet for them. It was a safety measure in case of any accident, and it would block any outside attack while protecting them from any internal damage.

Experience tales with empire

The engine roared, and the rotor began spinning.

"Ready to take off." Chiaki's voice rang from the headphone integrated in the helmet. "3... 2... 1... Let's go!"

The vehicle flew into the air, and the ground below them became a blur.

It was time to end this war and destroy Kang Jian's army.

***

In their detention residence, the Elders sat around in circle like usual. Their faces unusually tense today, and their eyes were filled with determination and worry.

"I hope Mr. Leo and his team will come soon." Yuang Li muttered as he stared at the entrance door. "He said to wait for 3 days, but I don't feel good."

"Yeah, I agree." Another Elder nodded, his voice grim. "The Murim Alliance is getting worse every day. Kang Jian is playing with us like a toy, and the situation is out of control. The miasma around this place is also thickened since 3 days ago. That bastard is really a Demon! He wants to summon Supreme Evil here."

"No, don't talk about that demon! Just thinking about it makes me shiver." Another Elder shook his head. His hair, which was previously black, now turned fully white due to fear and terror. "We should just escape and forget about this place. P-Please, I-I can no longer... Ah... AAHHHH!"

Getting trapped in a dangerous situation with strange drugs still flowing in their veins and their Qi sealed by Kang Jian's group, the Elders were completely helpless. They were unable to do anything and just waited for their doom.

Their mentality was weakened, and their emotions were fragile. They were broken and couldn't do anything.

"Just shut up!" Yuang Li frowned, his eyes sharp. "We have to stay calm and keep our minds focused. If we lose ourselves now, we won't be able to get our revenge. Just think about how that bastard Kang Jian treated us, and you will get your strength back. We are still martial artists! We will not fall so easily!"

Strength returned slightly after the motivational speech.

In this kind of situation, camaraderie was important to keep everyone's sanity and prevent them from giving up.

However, there was something they didn't notice.

Something was moving under their feet, and it wasn't an animal.

It was a small black toy with a speaker on its ear.

"I am on my way."

A voice rang from the toy, making the Elders' eyes widen in surprise. It was the voice of Leo, the leader of Hallowed Insect and the one they had hired to rescue them.

Hope returned to their eyes, and they gathered their remaining strength. They had been waiting for this moment for days, and now that it was here, they couldn't let it slip away.

"We'll be ready, Mr. Leo. How long do we need to wait for the rescue?" Yuang Li, acting as the Elders representative because he was the one making the deal, asked with a trembling voice.

With no food or water for a few days, it was natural for them to feel weak and shaky. They just hoped that they wouldn't be too late.

"In a few seconds. Go hide in the corner away from the entrance and brave for an explosion."

"What?"

"Now!"

An urgent voice rang from the toy and Yuang Li jumped.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Run to the corner!" He shouted to everyone. "Hurry!"

The Elders didn't ask any questions and did as he said. They ran to the corner of the room and hid behind a huge stone pillar.

A few seconds later, something pierced the roof. It dropped at a fast speed and crashed into the ground. Upon crashing, a huge explosion followed, and the building was torn apart.

The Elders were thrown away by the shockwave and hit the wall. But they were unharmed.

"What's going on?!"

One of the Elders asked as he rose to his feet, his face pale and his body shaking. He saw that they were covered in a black sphere that prevented them from being harmed by the explosion. The sphere retracted and became the small-Coco once again.

However, they didn't have time to marvel in that. They were in shock. Their surroundings, the residence they were in a moment ago, was obliterated. The only thing left was rubble and debris.

"Good, you're still alive."

A familiar voice rang not from the toy but above them. Yuang Li looked up and saw a sleek black vehicle hovering in the air. It was covered in armor, making it look foreign.

A hatch on the bottom of the vehicle opened, and a ladder dropped to the ground. From the opening, they could see Leo crouching and grinning.

"Hop on. We only have a few seconds to leave this place." He said as he held his hand out. "Let's go, Elders. Your savior is here."
