Mad Tiger, one of the three deputy commanders of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps, Paladin Realm.

To ensure the success of the operation, Jiang Chen had invited Yan Mo to summon him and another expert overnight.

Mad Tiger nodded, "There are five Paladin Realm people in that carriage, most likely Mage Liesi and his companions. Moreover, even if the Dark Spider Mercenary Corps has hidden the number of Paladins, that will no longer be a threat to you. With me and Mo Bao here, even if there are three more Paladins at Dark Spider's base, we can hold them off. However, we can only spare two people at most!"

Mo Bao, also one of the three deputy commanders of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps, Paladin Realm.

Their arrival was because Jiang Chen was worried that there would be more Paladins hidden at the Dark Spider's base.

"Shall we attack now?" A strong killing intent burst from Mo Bao's eyes.

An Long was slightly taken aback, and surprised he said, "Mr. Mo Bao, you have a grudge against the Dark Spider Mercenary Corps?"

"My brother died at Mage Liesi's hands. This vengeance must be avenged!"

Mo Bao spoke coldly, then a trace of gratitude appeared in his eyes, "I'm very grateful to your commander, Mr. Dragon King. If it weren't for him inspiring Ge'er Yan to compete for the heir, my brother's grudge might never be avenged!"

An Long nodded, then said, "Mr. Mo Bao, please wait a moment. The people Dragon King has brought this time... are soldiers from the Flame Dragon Kingdom, so we need to wait."

Mo Bao frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes as he glanced at An Long, but said nothing more.

Mad Tiger's eyes revealed a trace of surprise, and he asked with a frown, "Soldiers? Soldiers from the Flame Dragon Kingdom?"

"Yes!" An Long nodded.

"Mr. Dragon King... is he a military man?" Mad Tiger's brows furrowed tightly.

An Long chuckled and shook his head, "No, Dragon King is not a military man. If one must define him, he's a businessman, but one who would give up everything for his brothers. A good boss, indeed!"

"A good businessman?" A sneer curled at the corner of Mo Bao's mouth, "Perhaps he didn't come this time because he's afraid of dying. Just a coward!"

Whirring sounds!

Nine cold killing intents emerged as An Long, An Feng, and the other seven coldly eyed Mo Bao.

Mo Bao was taken aback, then a cold smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, "What's the matter? No need to pretend anymore. Which businessman isn't profit-oriented? He probably used some method to lure Mage Liesi and the others away this time, and yet, despite having us two Paladins to escort, he doesn't dare to show up personally. Don't you think he's a coward?"

Rustling noises!

An Long and the other eight all locked and loaded, their dark muzzles pointed at Mo Bao.

"Mr. Mo Bao, you can try it, say one more bad word about Dragon King, and we'll see if our brothers won't fight you to the death!" An Long's gaze was icy as he stared at Mo Bao, his eyes filled with a readiness to face death.

Mo Bao was startled, a look of bewilderment in his eyes.

Rustling noises!

The members of the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group also locked and loaded, aiming at Mo Bao in unison.

Mad Tiger quickly stood in front of Mo Bao, sensing the resolve to die in An Long and the others, a determination to kill their enemy even at the cost of their lives.

"Mr. Mad Tiger, I don't care how you view Dragon King, but in the eyes of our brothers, he is a man we would respect to the death. Mr. Mo Bao, I hope you leave immediately. We brothers don't need someone who insults Dragon King to protect us. Even in death, we don't need your protection!" An Long glared coldly at Mo Bao, not hiding his disdain.

Mo Bao was dumbfounded. He never expected that An Long and the others would turn against him so completely, just because of his two sentences, willing to disregard his life and force him out.

"An Long, are you sure? You can't make such a decision based on your own likes and dislikes. If I leave, with three Paladin Knights on the opposing side, all of you will die here, do you understand? To disregard the life and death of the brothers in the Mercenary Corps for your own emotions, are you fit to be the Vice Captain?" Mo Bao spoke solemnly.

An Long let out a cold laugh, "Everyone, I am now expelling Mo Bao. If anyone thinks what I'm doing is wrong, they can leave immediately. I swear on the name of the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group, I will absolutely not target them!"

Mo Bao was completely stunned, looking at An Long with disbelief.

He truly hadn't anticipated that An Long would go to such lengths over just a couple of words he said—swearing on the name of the Mercenary Corps. In the underworld, that was the heaviest oath, one that if broken, was tantamount to cursing the annihilation of one's own Mercenary Corps!

"Alright, alright! Mo Bao was just joking!" Mad Tiger saw the situation spiraling out of control and promptly tried to mediate.

They, the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps, were basically Scar's private force, and Scar was also one of the Vice Captains of the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group. If the two of them fell out with An Long and the others here, they would have no choice but to roam the world. Mad Tiger had no doubt that if they dared to lay a hand on An Long, Scar would surely issue a Blood Kill Order against them, prompting the underworld to collectively hunt them down!

An Long stared coldly at Mo Bao behind Mad Tiger, completely ignoring Mad Tiger.

Mad Tiger furrowed his brows slightly and turned to look at An Feng and the other eight captains. In their eyes, he saw the same expression that An Long had.

It was a look that signified they were willing to see trusted friends die.

Mad Tiger was taken aback. At that moment, his interest in the Dragon King, whom he had not yet met, deepened, and he began to admire him.

What kind of person could command such unanimous protection and respect from An Long and the others!

"Like this, I'll call the other side..." Mad Tiger took out his phone, intending to call Kuang Shi. The situation here had already deviated from the original plan, and he could no longer control the scene.

But just as he was about to dial, Mad Tiger's expression changed drastically, and he raised his eyebrows, whispering, "An Long, take cover, someone's coming!"

An Long slightly furrowed his brows and made a gesture to take cover.

Whoosh! A series of faint noises sounded as shadows quickly approached the area where An Long and the others were. As they drew near, the shadows suddenly stopped.

Coo coo! Coo coo! The sound of bird calls filled the air, and An Long gave a faint smile, puckering his lips and mimicking, "Coo coo! Coo coo!"

Thud thud thud! The light sound of footsteps could be heard as a figure emerged from the jungle, and An Long stepped out at the same time.

"Xue Yu, you arrived so quickly?" An Long asked, somewhat surprised.

The person who had arrived was none other than Chen Jiantao and his 108 companions who had been marching hurriedly all the way from Changlan City.

"The Dragon King told us to march quickly to get here, in case there was any emergency on this side so we could provide timely assistance," Chen Jiantao said with a light chuckle.

An Long nodded, speaking softly, "Let your brothers rest for a while; we'll stand guard."

"Alright!" Chen Jiantao nodded and signaled to those behind him.
