The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 2986

Chapter 2986 Killing The Terrandyans The Golden Saints only offered Levi what they thought was a fair price even though they knew the man was in quite a predicament. “For your situation, maybe hiring the strongest mercenary group isn't such a bad idea. The price they ask for is indeed quite steep, but they'll be able to protect more of your resources, so it's not a bad deal,” suggested one of the Golden Saints. Because of the reward Levi offered, the Golden Saints and the other mercenary groups had been meaning to contact the man. However, they could not be of much help when it came to searching for magical medicine or other ways to cure Forlevia. What they excelled at was shedding blood, so when they heard how Terrandya had threatened Levi, they knew it was finally time to approach the man. After some discussion, the groups decided to send three members of the Golden Saints to meet with Levi. The three stared intently at Levi as they waited for the man to give them a solid answer. “That won't be necessary. I can handle the Terrandyans myself.” When the mercenaries heard Levi's response, their faces immediately turned grim because they expected to earn some crystals from the man. “If you've decided to give up on yourself, we respect your decision. We'll take our leave then, Mr. Garrison.” Since Levi had already turned them down, the Golden Saints were ready to leave the man alone. “Wait!” shouted Levi when he suddenly thought of something, which pleasantly surprised the mercenaries. “There is something you can do for me. Gather all the other mercenary groups you know; I'll pay them whatever they ask for. And get me the strongest group too,” instructed Levi. The Golden Saints were thrilled when Levi changed his mind. “We appreciate you putting your trust in us, Mr. Garrison. In return, we'd like to prove our sincerity by respectfully asking you to hold your payment until we get the job done,” voiced one of the mercenaries. “However, the strongest group has its own set of rules. Not only do they charge a steeper price, but they also demand half the payment upfront,” explained another hesitantly. When they noticed Levi raising a brow curiously at them, they quickly explained, “Of course, we, mercenaries, would never scam anyone because our reputation is extremely valuable to us.” “How about this? I'll pay all of you half the payment right away. Just make sure you're ready when I need you. Dr. Erebus, I'll leave the arrangements to you.” With that, Levi turned around and walked away. Dr. Erebus and the Digital God immediately figured out what Levi was up to but not the three mercenaries, who were just excited that the man decided to employ them. As soon as the Golden Saints contacted the other mercenary groups, news of the deal between Levi and them quickly got out and reached Terrandya. “Levi really is a stubborn one, isn't he? I didn't take him for someone who'd hire mercenaries.” “He can hire as many mercenaries as he wants. It's not going to matter because we have more than nine hundred Deities and countless fighters under our command.” “I heard he's even hired Armageddon, the most powerful mercenary group. But that's not going to make any difference.” “I don't care how many mercenaries he has; we'll kill them all!” The Terrandyans were not worried in the slightest when they heard that Levi had hired mercenaries. In fact, they had come up with different tactics to not only seize Levi's resources but also those of the mercenary groups. Even though the mercenaries lived a rough life, their high-risk lifestyles yielded high rewards. Hence, the Terrandyans continued to watch Levi and see what other help the man would get. As expected, forces ranked in the top ten, too, approached Levi to name their prices. Some wanted half of his resources, while others desired to know his secret. They all promised to help him fight the Terrandyans, who would prefer not to go toe-to-toe with forces similar in strength. However, Levi turned down every one of them, for he only needed the mercenaries. After three days had passed, Levi finally reached the end of the grace period Terrandya offered him. “Come, it's time to kill some Terrandyans.”
