Chapter 804: Chapter 807: Recruiting Soldiers and Buying Horses?

After the New Year, everything returned to normal.

Lu Qing went back to work in Zhonghai City, Liu Fei’er started filming, and the brothers of War Dragon began to get busy with their tasks.

Because of the existence of the Asian Mercenary Association, major clients or employers now prefer to recruit tasks through the Mercenary Association.

This way, if the mission fails, all losses will be coordinated and compensated by the Mercenary Association. Clients also don’t have to worry about mercenaries becoming greedy and swallowing their assets.

Because of this intermediary organization, more and more clients are approaching the Mercenary Association.

The specific task allocation is decided by the chairman of the Mercenary Association and the four other members of the chairman group.

According to the predefined rules, tasks are first chosen by the Five-star mercenary team Skull, followed by the Four-star and Three-star mercenary teams in turn.

For teams below the Three-star level, tasks are forcibly assigned by the chairman group based on the specific task and the team’s strength.

Every mercenary team that accepts a task from the Mercenary Association receives a 5% commission upon completion.

At the start of the New Year, since War Dragon is a member of the chairman group, they prioritized choosing two major tasks: one with a commission of six million, led by Jiang Hu and Wild Boar.

The other task, with a commission of 7.5 million, was managed by Xiao Zhuang and Cao Guojun, along with two War Dragon special team members.

Zhou Yang, overseeing the overall situation, was busy attending meetings in Southeast Asia at the beginning of the year, and seldom came to Zhonghai City.

Lin Yu was in charge of the logistics at the War Dragon base, taking responsibility for any new tasks that arose.

However, Qin Tian, Zhou Yang, and Lin Yu all realized the same problem—

War Dragon was understaffed.

Since joining the Mercenary Association and especially becoming a member of the chairman group, War Dragon almost had tasks every month.

Sometimes, two or three tasks would come simultaneously.

Small tasks were manageable, but for big tasks, War Dragon felt the shortage of personnel.

Even for minor tasks worth a few million each, if War Dragon took on three simultaneously, it would be difficult to handle.

Just like now, with two tasks, the special team members were split into two groups led by their experts, leaving only Lin Yu at the base.

If another task came along, Lin Yu would be left alone.

Even though he was strong, there needed to be others to assist with tasks like transporting goods or liaising with surrounding forces.

"It seems we need to expand,"

Qin Tian said to Lin Yu at the Wolong Base.

Lin Yu nodded: "Expansion is imperative. Look at Skull, they have thousands of people, with at least a hundred top experts. In terms of scale, War Dragon can’t even match a branch of Skull. How can we compete?"

Qin Tian, also recognizing this issue, lit a cigarette and said, "But we can’t recruit blindly. Bringing in people without skills is useless. I don’t want to follow Skull’s path of blind expansion. I want to go the elite route. Having 100 elite members in War Dragon, I think, would be enough."

With 100 people as the goal, they were still far from reaching it.

Understanding Qin Tian’s intention, Lin Yu said, "The elite route is tough. Many top talents have already been recruited by other mercenary teams. Where can we find top-notch recruits for ourselves?"

This indeed was a problem.

"Zitong, alone? Didn’t I see you and Yunxi go out together this morning? Where’s Yunxi?"

As Qin Tian and Lin Yu chatted in the yard, they saw Lin Zitong hastily walking in.

When Qin Tian greeted her, Lin Zitong’s expression changed slightly before she replied softly, "I don’t know."

Then she walked towards her room.

As Lin Zitong walked away, both Qin Tian and Lin Yu watched her back.

"Second brother, did you notice something odd?"

Qin Tian asked Lin Yu quietly, staring at Lin Zitong’s disappearing back at the corridor’s turn.

"Yes, something seems off. Strange," Lin Yu said, frowning.

Qin Tian asked, "What do you think is wrong?"

"I feel... her walking style is different from before, somewhat awkward. Did I remember wrongly from before the New Year? She didn’t swing her arms while walking just now, which isn’t like her..."

Wiping his mouth, Lin Yu added, "Moreover, although Zitong isn’t the lively type, she’s always polite. Normally, she’d greet us, especially you. However, did you notice that she just glanced at us and walked away, as if pretending not to know us? That’s very unusual."

After Lin Yu’s analysis, Qin Tian also nodded.

"I know Zitong better than you. I also noticed she’s not acting right."

Qin Tian analyzed, "Besides her walking style, her eyes were the most puzzling. Despite knowing various disguise techniques, Zitong’s eyes are unique, and I can usually recognize them at a glance."

"But the Zitong who just walked past us had an off expression in her eyes... Could it be she went out to do something bad, disguised herself? But how could her eyes be disguised?"

As Qin Tian spoke, he exchanged glances with Lin Yu, and then, their pupils widened almost simultaneously!

"Disguised!?"

Qin Tian and Lin Yu exclaimed in unison, their faces filled with shock!

Both Qin Tian and Lin Yu realized—

Although the person just now looked like Lin Zitong, her facial expressions and demeanor were very different!

So, there was only one possibility: it wasn’t Lin Zitong disguised, but someone disguised as Lin Zitong!

Instantly, both Qin Tian and Lin Yu reacted, their expressions astonished.

"I suspect that woman is from the Yin Chun Sect,"

Qin Tian concluded firmly, "Such disguise techniques can only be from the Yin Chun Sect."

However, why would members of the Yin Chun Sect use Lin Zitong’s appearance to infiltrate the War Dragon base? What are they planning?

Upon thinking carefully, Qin Tian suddenly recalled: Lin Zitong’s fallout with the Yin Chun Sect that led to her being expelled and even hunted was due to two books—

"Jade Girl Palm Technique"! "Jade Girl Heart Method"!

Moreover, Lin Zitong had acquired other martial arts secret manuals in that mysterious cave, unbeknownst to the Yin Chun Sect.

And now, someone from the Yin Chun Sect sneaked in, heading directly to Lin Zitong’s place...

Qin Tian was stunned and his face changed suddenly: "Zitong might be in trouble!"
