Chapter 328: League of Assassins
Chapter 328 The League of Assassins
"Hellfire?"
Jiang Bai didn't know much about the so-called mercenary world. Just like he didn't know about Seraphim at all, he also knew nothing about the hellfire in Zhang Meng's mouth.
So he turned his questioning eyes to Xu Jie.
Although Xu Jie has never participated in a similar organization and directly became a street brother and gangster leader in Tiandu after retiring, Xu Jie has a deep understanding of military organizations and quasi-military organizations around the world.
Knowing Seraph, he must also know Hellfire.
"Artillery! I didn't expect that your kid actually joined the Hellfire! Haha, I asked you, why are you so nice? Tell me this news. Are you doing it to sell your business? Or to avenge Seraph? "
Xu Jie glared at Zhang Meng angrily and said angrily.
But Jiang Bai could also tell that Xu Jie was bluffing and wasn't really angry.
But this was enough to make Zhang Meng's face turn slightly red and he could not utter a single word.
It is not difficult to see that this is a straightforward man, and Xu Jie's words made him feel very embarrassed.
Ignoring Zhang Meng, Xu Jie glanced at Jiang Bai, and then began to explain: "The so-called Hellfire is also a mercenary organization. According to my understanding, Hellfire ranks fourth among the top ten mercenary groups in the mercenary world. The strength is naturally very strong.”
"Well, there is also news that they have been at odds with the third-ranked Seraph and have fought with each other many times. If I remember correctly, the leader of Hellfire died at Seraph two years ago. In the hands, of course... As a price, Seraph also suffered heavy losses. In short, the two teams are actually about the same strength."
Regarding Xu Jie's explanation, Jiang Bai asked curiously: "Since they are not evenly matched, why is Seraph the third one, but Hellfire can only be the fourth?"
"Well... we... have few people." Zhang Meng said with a slightly red face after hearing this.
After saying this, he seemed to remember his mission again, so he waved his fist and said: "Although there are only eighteen of us in total and Seraph has at least a hundred, they are all a bunch of scum. If we fight alone, one of us can beat them." Four or five! If there weren’t so many of them and the many tasks they took on, the third one would definitely belong to our Hellfire!”
This made Jiang Bai interested. The famous Hellfire, the fourth mercenary group in the mercenary world, only had eighteen people, which surprised Jiang Bai greatly.
Jiang Bai doesn't know much about the mercenary world, but he does know something about it. The main way of life of these guys is to help people fight and help some war-torn countries fight. Whether you are a government army or an anti-government army, anyway, as long as you Give me the money and I'll do it!
He has no sense of justice and only works for money.
Teams can be large or small. A strong team can have tens of thousands of people. It is a standardized military organization that can organize large-scale wars. For example, Blackwater, which has now faded out of the mercenary world, and EO, which is still active.
Of course, the French Foreign Legion are technically mercenaries, but they are exclusive mercenaries with regular military establishment and affiliated to the country.
The number of small teams is variable, but a team of eighteen people can rank fourth, which shows how powerful they are.
"You mean...let me hire you hellfires to fight Seraph? I'm curious, why should I do this? You are only the fourth. If I am willing to spend money, why don't I find a more reliable number one, or Second, something like Blackwater and EO?”
Jiang Bai took a puff of his cigar, puffed out a wisp of smoke, and asked Zhang Meng noncommittally.
The words made Zhang Meng laugh, and Xu Jie next to him also blushed slightly.
Before Zhang Meng could say anything, Xu Jie spoke up: "Boss, Blackwater, EO and the like also have a lot of people and great reputations. They can build momentum and so on. But in terms of elite level, they are simply scum! The top ten mercenary groups , with their numerical advantage, they only got one ninth and one tenth."
"Besides, Blackwater has withdrawn. Now they basically don't do this business and focus on the bodyguard business. They can't be regarded as mercenaries."
"I mean, why wouldn't I choose No. 1 or No. 2? Why should I choose No. 4?"
Jiang Bai's face turned slightly red after hearing this. Then he glanced at Zhang Meng in front of him and repeated his words again, but the content had been slightly changed.
"The number one Hand of God, or the number two Shadow of Satan, as long as you hire one, I don't think they need to do anything, just stop there, Seraph will immediately quit the mission, but the key is... You can’t hire them!”
Zhang Meng's expression was stern, and he responded with a serious expression. It was not difficult to hear the awe in his tone. It was obvious that these two mercenary groups were enough to awe him.
"Oh? You can't hire someone even if you have money?" Jiang Bai blinked, noncommittal.
The mercenary world is a group of desperadoes who work hard for money. If Jiang Bai has money, why can't he hire them?
"Yes. Because they do not work for money. Both are the oldest organizations in the mercenary world. According to legend, the establishment of these two mercenary organizations can be traced back to BC and have a long history. They do not work for money. Only fight for faith. The Hand of God, legend has it, was born out of the ancient Knights Templar. It has been dedicated to serving the Holy See for so many years and has never fought for anyone."
"As for the "Shadow of Satan", their origins are very mysterious. No one knows where they came from, and their members have always been a mystery. But since the Hand of God, there has been the Shadow of Satan, and they are mortal enemies."
"There are rumors that this army was born out of King Solomon's guard. Some people say that they are from the Praetorian Guards of the ancient Jewish Empire. Anyway, there are various theories."
"But it's true that they don't work hard for money. I have never heard of anyone hiring them in these years. The reason why they can still occupy the first and second positions is because they are too strong."
"Oh?" Jiang Bai blinked curiously.
Seeing Jiang Bai's performance, Zhang Meng did not hide anything and said slowly: "Actually, the Seraphs were very strong before, much stronger than our Hellfires. The Seraphs ten years ago were enough to make the Hellfires crawl under their feet. They are known as There are thousands of kings in the mercenary world, all of whom are elites, and many of them are experts who can compete with Hellfire alone."
"At that time, the Seraphs were very ambitious and were not satisfied with their third position. By chance, they got news of Satan's shadow and launched a challenge to them."
"In the end, they lost?" Jiang Bai smiled noncommittally.
The result is obvious. If they win, Seraph will not be third, but second, maybe even first?
"Well, I lost, I lost miserably. Satan's Shadow is a huge organization. They have a large number of people, but only ten people were dispatched that time! Ten people almost wiped out the Seraph in its heyday from this planet! "
"If their old rival, the Hand of God, hadn't suddenly come out, I'm afraid the Seraph would have been completely wiped out!"
Zhang Meng told this secret about the mercenary world with lingering fear, his eyes full of fear, fear of the shadow of Satan.
These words not only made Xu Jie's expression change, but even Jiang Bai narrowed his eyes unconsciously.
Ten people, annihilating a mercenary group that is the most elite, has heavy firepower, and everyone is called an elite?
This strength, I have to say, is really strong.
Let Jiang Bai face Seraph alone at that time, he may not be sure of victory. The final result is likely to be a loss for both sides. Seraph suffered heavy losses and Jiang Bai was seriously injured.
According to Zhang Meng, there are many shadows of Satan, far more than that, which would be even more terrifying.
Jiang Bai doesn't know what their overall strength is, but I'm afraid he has no chance of winning when facing them.
This is the second time Jiang Bai has heard of someone who can threaten his existence in so many days, and there are two at once.
Before that, he only knew about the God Group leaked from Cheng Tiangang's mouth, but now there are two more "Shadow of Satan" and "Hand of God".
This made Jiang Bai a little silent.
Coupled with the two head-dropping masters he faced when he was in Taixi, Jiang Bai suddenly felt... that he didn't seem to understand the world at all.
Behind this seemingly peaceful world, there are too many unknown things hidden, which are far beyond what the peaceful and normal world that I lived in in my previous life could compare to.
Even with his current strength, there is no absolute sense of security in this world!
"Tell me about your conditions. How much do you want? And...even if you defeat Seraph and the mission is not canceled, will I still hire you?"
After a moment of silence, Jiang Bai got straight to the point and glanced at Zhang Meng, then said noncommittally.
"Thirty million! We only need 30 million US dollars to protect Mr. Jiang until we repel Seraph's attack and make sure they give up their mission. As for the others, Mr. Jiang can rest assured."
"You know, the mercenary group is between killers and the army. In a sense, the powerful mercenary group is much stronger than the weak and insidious killers. If Seraph tries his best, there will be nothing he can do. If you say so, then no one else will dare to take action, and this mission will end in vain, and even the Avengers Foundation will cancel this mission."
"Thirty million US dollars is indeed not much. At least it is much cheaper than the amount spent to buy my life. I can agree. But I can understand what you just said. As long as you defeat Chi Angel, let them give up their plan, then the matter will be over?"
Jiang Bai blinked his eyes and asked with a smile.
"Well, that's the theory. If we repel the Seraph and they have to give up, no one will dare to take on this mission again, well, except... the Assassin's League."
Zhang Meng was an honest boy and answered confidently, but at the end of the answer, his face turned slightly red and he said a brand new name.
"Wanted!"
These words puzzled Jiang Bai and made Xu Jie's expression change slightly.
But before Jiang Bai could speak, Xu Jie was the first to speak: "If it's the League of Assassins, that's another matter. Let's talk about the current Seraph first. The first target to deal with is them, isn't it? Zhang Meng Your price is too high, can you lower it! You know there are only eighteen of you!"
