Volume 4: Biochemical Attack Chapter 765 Reasons (Part 1)
Everyone in the room looked at Donna. They also wanted to know what the provincial competition had to do with the events in the eastern province.
"The relationship between these two things is very simple, they are cause and effect." Donna looked around at everyone, smiled calmly, and explained: " It is precisely because of the appearance of biochemical warriors in the eastern province that the provincial competition decided to temporarily increase the number of participants!"
"Cause and effect?" Everyone was slightly stunned and listened attentively.
"You have already been to the Eastern Province. I don't think I need to say more about how dangerous the battles there are." Donna continued, "Moreover, not only you, but also other mercenary groups in Zhongzhou Province and even the top leaders of the alliance did not anticipate that the biochemical warriors in the Eastern Province would be so difficult to deal with..."
Donna slowly explained the details of the notice.
A few minutes later, Li Jiu and his team finally understood why the alliance's top leaders had issued this notice.
The details of this notice are that in order to mobilize the fighting enthusiasm of the mercenaries of the entire alliance, especially the mercenaries of Zhongzhou Province, the alliance has decided after careful consideration that any mercenary group that performs well in the subsequent battles and meets the alliance's requirements will have the opportunity to obtain additional quotas to participate in the provincial competition. At the same time, those mercenary groups that have already obtained the qualification to participate in the provincial competition will have the opportunity to participate in the finals of the entire alliance even if they are eliminated in the provincial competition!
Specifically speaking, the mercenaries in Zhongzhou Province are different from those in other major provinces.
The mercenaries in other provinces were assessed on their performance in battles outside the alliance, while they were fighting the defenders. The mercenaries in Zhongzhou Province had to face the biochemical warriors in the eastern provinces, so their performance was assessed in battles with the biochemical warriors in the occupied areas of the eastern provinces.
In addition, the notice also specifically emphasized that all the spoils obtained by the mercenary groups in Zhongzhou Province in the occupied areas of the eastern provinces will belong to them, and there is no need to hand them over to the alliance!
That is to say, even if the mercenaries from Zhongzhou Province obtained the gold and jewelry in the occupied areas of the Eastern Province, and even the weapons and equipment left behind by the First Legion while fighting in the occupied areas, they would all belong to them!
The reason why the Alliance offered such favorable conditions was for only one purpose, and that was to encourage the mercenaries from Zhongzhou Province to actively go to the occupied areas in the eastern provinces to fight against the biochemical warriors and eliminate all the biochemical warriors there as soon as possible!
As for the specific reasons behind this, it is quite complicated...
…
It turned out that the last time Li Jiu and his team went to the Eastern Province to carry out a mission, most of the mercenary groups in Zhongzhou Province had just started to enter the occupied areas of the Eastern Province to fight.
Before that, the Alliance only sent a few powerful mercenary groups to explore the eastern provinces.
After testing those mercenary groups, the Alliance made a preliminary assessment of the severity of the fighting there, believing that the danger of the fighting there was definitely no less than the battlefield outside the Alliance. Therefore, it finally decided to only allow the two-star and above mercenary groups in Zhongzhou Province to go to the occupied areas to fight.
However, even so, the top leaders of the alliance did not expect that they still underestimated the danger of the occupied area!
The intelligence that the mercenaries brought back to them was not accurate. They, the first people to go to the occupied area, underestimated the combat effectiveness of the biochemical warriors!
This is because the strength of those mercenary groups is much higher than the average level of two-star and above mercenary groups in Zhongzhou Province. A battle that they think is not dangerous may !
There is another reason, that is, those mercenary groups went to the occupied area earlier. When they went there, there were still a large number of troops left by the First Legion in the occupied area, fighting desperately against the biochemical warriors, which could be said to have tied down most of the biochemical warriors. Therefore, the occupied area at that time was not too dangerous.
However, when the main force led by Li Jiu and his men arrived at the occupied area, the First Army troops who were defending there had basically been wiped out by the biochemical warriors! The number of biochemical warriors also reached its peak at that time!
After losing the restraining force of the remnant troops of the First Legion, the biochemical warriors in the occupied areas were no longer confined to certain areas, but spread rapidly, instantly turning the occupied areas into a real hell on earth!
Therefore, it can be said that the mercenaries from Zhongzhou Province who went to the occupied area at the same time as Li Jiu and his men were unlucky...
After that mission, not only did the Night Rose Mercenary Group lose one-third of its mercenaries, but the losses of other mercenary groups were even more severe!
The Night Rose Mercenary Group was relatively lucky in this first wave of battles against the biochemical warriors in the occupied area. Because before the biochemical battle started, they had already gained rich experience in dealing with biochemical warriors taught by Li Jiu!
Of course, the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group also did not lose too much strength in the first wave of offensive because of the biochemical combat experience taught by Li Jiu. In fact, because the real strength of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group has already reached the level of a three-star mercenary group, their losses were even lighter than those of the Night Rose Mercenary Group, only losing a quarter of the mercenaries.
However, apart from Night Rose and Blood Wolf, the other mercenary groups in Zhongzhou Province were in a miserable situation.
Those powerful mercenary groups were still okay, but those mercenary groups that were almost as strong as Night Rose and Blood Wolf could be said to have suffered a nearly devastating blow!
There were many two-star and three-star mercenary groups that lost more than half of their mercenaries in this first wave of offensive alone!
There were even a few mercenary groups that were particularly unlucky. Since their mission location was right within the area where a large number of biochemical warriors broke out, all the mercenaries who went to carry out the mission were killed by the biochemical warriors in just the first wave of attacks!
The heavy loss made the leaders of the various mercenary groups heartbroken. Of course, most of them did not care about the lives of the mercenaries, but they were sad about the huge loss of profits. After all, every mercenary was trained by them with a lot of effort. As long as they were alive, they could earn profits for them. Once they died, all their investment would be wasted.
At the same time, the huge losses suffered by the various mercenary groups in Zhongzhou Province also shocked the top leaders of the alliance!
