The Legacy System

Chapter 259 - 259: Prelude To Ladies Action

After getting used to his new level and strength it wasn't difficult for Eric to take care of the remaining mercenaries, as everything was over in less than 15 minutes.

Even though this was a bigger camp than the previous ones he got down, using his spirit sense wisely he was able to clean the camp in a short time.

There were no mercenary survivors in the camp, and all that was left were the captives that had been captured and used to process the drugs.

As for the drugs themselves Eric had already made up his mind and set the whole thing on fire. He knew that there were powerful wigs behind this thing but he didn't care.

Sooner or later he would have to face them anyway, and it didn't matter much to him. In fact, that would be a valid reason for him to do some more killing.

The amount of SP points he needed to gather in order to buy the things he wanted from his Legacy System was pretty much enormous.

Which meant that the number of people he would have to kill was pretty much the same. But he didn't want to go and hunt them down.

It would be too notorious and tiring for him, so he decided thought it would be much better if they were the one after him, and came to die with their own death wish.

With these thoughts in mind, he quickly made the preparations to set everything on fire, once all the captives were evacuated, and they left the camp.

But this wasn't the only place that he had planned to destroy tonight. Since he was on a tight schedule he couldn't stay more than 2 or 3 nights in one country.

So, he had to take down 2 or 3 camps in one go whenever he started doing it. While this would be a bit tiring, it was also a great exercise for his and the ladies' endurance.

This trip wasn't only for him, but even for the ladies, as he wanted to raise their levels, and make them into perfect generals for his forces.

The night before departing for this place he had already equipped them all with a sub-system, so they could level up really easily.

What would be difficult though would be their mental training, as Eric wanted them to follow his orders blindly and kill with cold blood.

He wanted them to be executioners at his beck and call. So, he had to train them a lot mentally, to transform them into what he wanted.

That was the reason he was making everything he could to let them see as much blood, and gore as they could.

The first time it had been really difficult for them to bear even the sight of it, but slowly they were getting used to it.

And he was going to make them watch so much of this, that they wouldn't be even able to differentiate it from normal anymore.

It was a bit of pity to turn these ladies into that sort of creature, but he didn't have much choice right now.

He didn't trust the ones he had under his wing at the moment. Kirigaya Kaito's wife and daughter were professionals in this area, but he didn't trust them much.

They had a high and mighty attitude when standing in front of him, and didn't seem to like him either.

Especially his wife, she was looking at him like she was going to swallow him up whole, and that wasn't in a hot meaning.

Seeing her stubborn and hateful gaze for a moment Eric thought of putting her under him, and show her that she shouldn't stare at him like that for no reason, but he stopped himself due to Kirigaya Kaito.

He didn't know how that guy would react, and he couldn't lose his bendiness at the moment. Furthermore, that guy had connections to the underworld, and it was a great source of information.

But he didn't know how he would react if she continued like that. One day, he might lose his patience and just put her and her daughters under him for service.

That would be truly troublesome, but only the future could tell what would happen. Right now, he had much more important things to take care of, like training these four.

The way he dealt with the captives was still the same, but this time since the camp was big, he decided to take under his wing only the ones who were willing.

There were more than 400 men, women, and kids in this place. Each and every one of them looked skinny, and badly feed.

More than human beings, they looked like some kind of dried stick. As some of them even had gotten addicted to that damn thing they were processing.

Unexpectedly when they were faced with such a choice most of the people in the crowd, even though dubious and reluctant decided to follow his arrangements.

Eric had certainly not expected this, but considering the pain, and suffering they had gone through, and the fact that if they stayed there the situation would still be the same, it was comprehensible.

Without losing much time Eric notified his second contact guy and left them on his hands. After securing the deal with the General, even if this guy tried anything stupid he would know.

In fact, he had already informed the General, and the Captain that if such an offer ever arrives their ears, to inform him and they would get the due reward.

In this world, money could make a river flow in reverse, so as long as the reward was good enough, they wouldn't accept those stupid deals, at least that was what he hopped them to do.

He made sure to set the fire to all the drugs before he left though, he couldn't have his idiot mercenaries have any weird thoughts.

Everything was closed in 2 to 3 hours, as now, he was running with the 4 ladies in tow towards their next target.

He had already informed them that this time they would be the main force and that he would be there only to cover their back.

He knew it was impossible for them to do everything alone, but he would most certainly give them the hardest tasks to handle.

They had 1-hour time to take down the camp, using whatever means they deemed necessary, and whatever tools or weapons they wanted.

By the end of the 1-hour time, all the mercenaries in the camp, including their commander should be dead, and the camp should be in their hands.

The ladies were clearly surprised at all this, but still, they guessed it was time for them to grow stronger beside their Master.

As a matter of fact, in these 1 or 2 months, since their way was crossed with Eric, Akira's and Mina's training had produced good results.

They were both level 14 at the moment, and they had truly considerable strength, but the same couldn't be said for the mother and daughter duo who were still only level 2 and level 3.

Considering their levels, strength, and efficiency, they decided that the best formation for them to work on would be with Akira and Mina as vanguards, while the mother and daughter duo sniped.

Normally, being a sniper required a lot of training and exercise, but they didn't have to pinpoint it.

They could focus on the alone targets, or cause as much damage as they could. As for the vanguards' weapons, they would be using guns at first, but would most probably return to their knives as the fight progressed.

The shooting wasn't their forte, as it required training that they didn't have. Furthermore, after some point, guns became more of an obstacle than a help.

Forgetting about the reloading time, just the fact that their magazines carried a limited number of bullets, made them a big problem.

While knives didn't need bullets, and as long as they were fast and strong enough they could crush everyone in front of them.

Eric did neither agree nor reject this plan of theirs, he only stood there and hear them compose their plan.

He made one thing clear though, each of them only had three lives, once they burned those three lives he wouldn't help them anymore.

What he meant was that he was going to help them each thrice to escape death, or injuries, after that, they were on their own.

While it would be a pity to lose them, he didn't plan on training useless generals either. Better get upset now and see them die than endanger himself and his army in the future.

The 4 ladies were clearly startled, as they were trying to look for signs of a laugh from his mouth, but there was none. Eric was being damn serious about this.

He wanted them to fight with the thought of dying at every movement, and help them sharper their senses.

If one knew that no matter what he did, he would be safe then he wouldn't truly put much effort into this, especially when it was about killing, and fighting.

But once their own life was in danger, then their survival instinct would kick in, and they would make sure to give all they had in order to succeed.

This was what Eric was hoping for from them, full and concentrated effort. Perhaps he might save them even a fourth time if it came down to it, but he would do so only in the last moment.

After everything was finally cleared, it was time to put the plan into action, and attack the second medium camp for the night…
