After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

```

Gu Yuzhi said, "If I remember correctly, back when I was in the City Guard Army, Yinhong had the highest Beast Taming Level. I recall it being Transcendence Fourth Layer Heaven."

Following that is Shi Yao, who when you were discharged, your Beast Taming was about to break through to Transcendence Third Layer Heaven."

Shi Yao clasped his hands in salute, "Report to City Lord, my Beast Taming has already broken through to Transcendence Fourth Layer Heaven."

Gu Yuzhi then looked at the remaining four people, "Du Yu, you are the most experienced here. Your main Beast Taming sacrificed itself in a war back then, which is why you left the City Guard Army. How is the cultivation of your new main beast going?"

Never expecting the City Lord to still remember him, Du Yu, with nearly sixty years since leaving the City Guard Army, was trying to fight for benefits for his descendants. Teary-eyed and with white hair, he choked up, "Reporting to City Lord, my newly trained Beast Taming has reached Transcendence Fourth Layer Heaven."

Gu Yuzhi nodded approvingly, "Good, I'm looking forward to your performance."

Those around were surprised as they looked at Du Yu, realizing this old man had managed to train his Beast Taming back to Transcendence Fourth Layer Heaven, seemingly having had a fortuitous encounter after leaving the City Guard Army.

After that, Gu Yuzhi went on to give individual pointers to the remaining three, Gu Wu, Shi Chen, and Shi Luoshan. Discover hidden tales at empire

Each of these three had their main Beast Taming in the Transcendence Second Layer Heaven realm.

"We'll follow the old rules then, profits will be divided according to contributions on the battlefield. If the opponent is slain by you personally, ninety percent of the spoils go to you. But for group combat contributions, we'll consider Mr. Chen's opinion. Since you are all veterans of the army, there's no need for me to go over some basic rules," Gu Yuzhi instructed the six of them.

The six understood that the City Lord was indirectly reminding them to abide by the rules now that they had joined the Mercenary Corps and that decision-making related to contributions in collective combat rested with Chen Xing.

So the six of them knew that to gain more benefits, they naturally had to establish a good relationship with Chen Xing.

"Understood," all six said in unison.

Gu Yuzhi then turned to Chen Xing and said, "I'm entrusting these fine men to you. If anyone fails to follow the rules, come and tell me."

With both hands folded, Chen Xing replied, "Thank you very much, City Lord."

After signing the contract, Chen Xing led the group back to their station.

Six Advanced Beast Tamers, along with five hundred and forty-seven Senior Beast Tamers.

Even if this force were isolated within Stone City, it would still be formidable, as weaker clans couldn't muster even six Advanced Beast Tamers, let alone over five hundred Senior Beast Tamers.

According to Jin Ye Guard's intelligence, it was very difficult for a regular large-scale Mercenary Corps to gather six Advanced Beast Tamers.

That's because Advanced Beast Tamers required a lot of resources, something Chen Xing deeply understood after becoming an Advanced Tamer himself.

For Advanced Beast Tamers, there's never something like "enough" resources.

How could they allow more Advanced Beast Tamers to share their resources when their own resources were insufficient? This would only occur under rare special circumstances, such as when a Mercenary Corps controlled a massive Resource Point. Even then, such forces wouldn't evolve into a mere Mercenary Corps structure, but rather into a more complex industrial compound.

Such a force couldn't be classified as a Mercenary Corps anymore.

The concept of a Mercenary Corps in the eyes of people from the Exotic Region was an armed group that took on various tasks for money, engaged in armed conflicts for profit, and sometimes even moonlighted as bandits or robbers.

Having returned to the Mercenary Corps headquarters, Zhao Guangming asked Chen Xing, "Everyone has arrived. These are all discharged from the City Guard Army, so their combat quality should be much better than ordinary Beast Tamers. A little training and they should be ready for the battlefield. What's the next step for us?"

"Let me think," Chen Xing took out the tablet and activated the internal map tool.

Zhao Guangming came over to look at the finely detailed map displayed on the tablet, which included not just terrain features like mountain ranges and rivers in the northwestern region, but also the exact coordinates of each city as well as large Resource Points that had been detected, areas populated by dangerous creatures, and more.

In the upper right corner was a filtering icon, allowing for selective screening of information.

This map tool was an internal software accessible only by top-ranking members of Great Xia who had been granted permission.

With different levels of access, the detailed information available on the map varied accordingly.

As a Torch Black-Robe Executor, Chen Xing naturally had very high access privileges, allowing him to view all map information.

First, Chen Xing selected to hide the Resource Points option in the upper right corner.

Suddenly, many details vanished from the tablet display.

Chen Xing spoke, "Call the other six over. After all, they are locals from Stone City; let's see if they have any suggestions."

After Gong Yinhong and the other five were brought in, Chen Xing gave them a brief on the current situation.

After contemplating, Du Yu then spoke, "Lord, may I know what your objective is?"

"Since we've employed you and you come recommended by the City Lord, I naturally trust you. So that we can work together, I'll disclose our Mercenary Corps' core mission—to destroy Jiu Chi City."

All six were stunned,

"Ah?"

"Me?"

"Just... us?"

"Mr. Chen, is there a possibility that you misspoke? Could it be Jiu Chi City instead?"

"There doesn't seem to be a place called Jiu Chi City nearby."

"Of course, it's not just relying on us alone," Chen Xing said, "Haven't you been informed about the recent situation in Jiu Chi City?"

"We know, last month Jiu Chi City tried to take over the largest vein in Stone City."

They say the City Lord even killed a few of their Beast Tamers, leading to several battles between the City Guard Armies."

"Those Jiu Chi City folks are indeed disgusting, always trying overtly and covertly to seize resources from our Stone City over the years."
