Dawn City Begins Its Transformation (1)

The arrival of 200,000 Moonlight Elf did not bring chaos to Dawn City, because the city belonged to Neutral Faction of multiple races.

The Elf, on the contrary, were a little uneasy for a moment, but under Annie's care, nothing went wrong.

William said he wanted to keep a low profile, so he would go out and have fun only after the Dark Invasion ended, which was 30 days later.

The most crucial thing now is to consolidate Dawn City's power.

The disastrous actions of the Blackrock Duchy, in particular, have left countless Player utterly astonished.

At this point, the Black Rock Player were completely dumbfounded, because their faction no longer had any military authority; all their troops had been handed over to Dawn City.

Oh my god.

What an outrageous move!

It's simply unimaginable!

At this moment, the Black Rock Forum is filled with posts full of questions.

One of the girls, nicknamed "Red Bean On My Chest," was bewildered and said, "Emmm, I can't imagine if the King's head was kicked by a donkey or bitten by a cat. Why did he give up on treatment? He doesn't have military power, does he think he can control all the territory in the country?"

Moreover, with the addition of tens of thousands of Winged Folk members to Dawn City, it has become completely dominant. What other force in the Southeastern Region can rival it?

"Black Rock's entire Legion has been taken away, supposedly for some kind of intensive training."

Dawn City dispatched the [Dawn Guard Legion], a massive Legion with tens of thousands of Professional. Nominally, they were there to help clear out Dark Creatures and maintain order, but the Black Rock King's power was essentially meaningless."

In conclusion

The Player of the Blackrock Duchy were completely dumbfounded. Even after resolving the Dark Invasion, the Blackrock Duchy, with its remaining eight Legion, was still extremely powerful!

In just a few days, they completely surrendered to Dawn City, citing the ridiculous excuse that they were unable to resist the Dark Creatures...

This has begun to make Player suspect that the Blackrock Kingdom is a spy for Dawn City.

Unfortunately... there's absolutely no evidence!

Dawn City's subsequent actions showed absolutely no intention of seizing Blackrock Duchy's territory!

Because the army of Dawn City did not interfere with the city's operations, nor with any political trends in the country, nor even with any Player, and the Player ' faction missions were not affected in any way.

The Dawn Legion guarded the city with remarkable discipline and order, and cleared away the Dark Creatures in all directions.

In fact, both Player and NPCs know that the lord of Dawn City is William.

William also commands the Dawn Mercenary Group.

But it's obvious.

What is the purpose of this Mercenary Group in this magical era?

War and money!

Mercenary Group in the fantasy era are essentially war.

For example, the Mercenary Guild, one of the Top Faction in the Legendary Continent, acts as an intermediary, encouraging Professional to become Mercenaries.

The Mercenary Guild provides those who issue missions with mercenaries or mercenary groups who possess combat capabilities.

However, neither individual Mercenaries nor large Mercenary Group can be considered major forces.

Because their purpose is mostly war, that is, endless fighting and killing.

Therefore, its development potential is limited, and it will never become a major force, no matter how much it tries to gain influence.

After all, Mercenaries in the Real World have only gradually developed into PMCs throughout history. How could someone in this magical era, so backward, have come up with such an idea?

What William needs to do now is to make a transformation!

As a Neutral Lord, the territory of Dawn City is limited, and any expansion he undertakes can only extend beyond the Legendary Continent.

But now is not the right time. He hasn't been able to fully develop Storm Island, and he's temporarily unable to explore more unfamiliar territories.

What should he do if he wants to participate in other Main Quest, or even the war?

That means transforming Dawn City's Regular Army into PMC, which is 'private military contractor'!

What does this mean?

This means that the Dawn Legion (Regular Army) will be able to accept more outsourced tasks, such as maintaining order, training soldiers, and providing logistical support.

Of course, their main purpose is to combat Dark Creatures and protect the land they are hired to from invasion.

As for why William did this?

This is naturally because there is no force in the Southeastern Region that can contend with them.

If Dawn City wants to develop, progress, and become stronger, it cannot remain confined to one corner. Not only will the Dawn Mercenary Group expand outwards, but the Regular Army will also be assigned certain missions with less intense combat capabilities.

For example!

When two countries are at war, the [Dawn Guard Legion] will not participate in any battles, but it can maintain order and prevent various rebellions, allowing you to send four or five more Legion to fight!

Is this fun?

Are you comfortable?

No problem, bro! Come hire us to watch your house!

Look at when Black Rock and Steel went to war, which of them didn't have four or five Legion stationed in the rear? They were afraid of trouble in their own backyard, but this also resulted in insufficient troops at the front.

But with the Dawn Legion, Mom is no longer afraid of the base being stolen. You guys fight your battles, I'll watch over the backyard for you.

Why didn't any national powers hire Mercenary Group to help defend their homeland before?

The problem is that the Mercenary Group's methods are too unorthodox; they know nothing but killing!

Speaking of protection?

You can let him transport some things, but would he be willing to help you defend the city safely and without worry?

Mercenaries do all sorts of things—murder, rape, and kidnapping—so no one dares to trust them too much.

Let them guard the house?

Their entire hideout will probably be emptied out!

But the Dawn Legion is different. They are Regular Army, and their duty is to protect their homeland and maintain order. There's nothing to worry about; they're very familiar with that.

As long as you have a good reputation, you'll have no trouble developing your business!

Furthermore, the Dawn Legion will not participate in high-intensity wars, but the Dawn Mercenary Group can. As the largest Dawn Mercenary Group in the Southeastern Region, it has hundreds of thousands of Chosen Ones and can fight any kind of war. Player are not afraid of death.

Currently, William is supporting these hundreds of thousands of Player by issuing quests through Dawn City, allowing Player to gain experience and Gold Coin. However, this is not a sustainable solution.

Because Player will eventually get tired of the game, and once they become stronger, they will inevitably go out and explore, which will mean leaving the Dawn City faction.

Even His Prince is finding it hard to keep up; after all, there are more and more Player here, and this is supposed to Novice Village...

And so.

In the absence of external threats to the territory.

The Lord will be undertaking a sweeping transformation plan.

Both its Regular Army and Mercenaries will be renamed [Dawn Guard Legion] and [Dawn Blade Legion], with the Regular Army focusing on defense and the Player focusing on offense!

Of course, Black Rock's approach could not be replicated, because William had already secretly taken control of the Blackrock Duchy, which allowed the Blackrock Duchy to simply abandon all its military forces.

Otherwise, no matter how impressive the security mission, it wouldn't be enough to convince a country to abandon its entire military force and hope that an outsourced Legion could protect the whole nation.

Dawn City is slowly transforming; there's no need to rush it, nor can it be rushed.

After all, there are some things we still need to discuss!

So he summoned Roderick, the Emissary of the Southern Region Mercenary Guild, to Dawn City.

Inside the conference hall.

When the two met again, Roderick laughed and gave William a bear hug.

William pushed him away with a look of disgust, then, holding his Alcohol, smiled and said, "It's been more than half a year since I last saw you. You've become High-Class Professional too?"

"I'm nothing compared to you, Lord. Not only are you incredibly powerful, but your influence in the Southeastern Region is second to none," Roderick said with great admiration, giving a thumbs up.

He then smiled and continued, "By the way, I wonder if there's anything you need for me, sir? If you hadn't sent me a message beforehand, I would have been heading to the Southeastern Region with my luggage."

"It's nothing, I just wanted to offer some feedback to your Mercenary Guild," William said with a mysterious smile.

"What opinion?" Roderick frowned slightly.

"[The Guard Legion], or rather [The Guard Mercenary], let me introduce it to you. After you hear it, you'll understand. It will definitely expand your Mercenary Guild's missions many, many times over." William chuckled and started throwing watermelons around like crazy. He didn't believe Roderick wouldn't pick them up!

Or rather...

The Mercenary Guild is definitely in!

The Mercenary Guild's development has long been saturated; they need a new model for mission development.

As the first person to raise this opinion, I will definitely receive attention and importance.

You could even say that...

Any future missions of this type will likely follow the example of the Dawn Guard Legion!
