Chapter 585: 523: The Dagger

Another four years had passed since the gods’ power had completely vanished, leaving twenty-five years before the Ouden Continent’s Eastern region would return to normal.

And, after those twenty-five years, the Fischer family, who had become the feared enemy of the world, would face a siege from across the globe.

With two of the six elements of Destruction under the control of the Fischer family, both those who feared them and those who coveted power would not let the Fischers and the Dawn Church off the hook.

For decades, the mercenary group known as Mo’er Security Company, a subordinate extraordinary organization under the Fischer family, had thoroughly risen to power.

Its predecessor was undoubtedly the Dagger Brotherhood under the Dawn Church, with its establishment tracing back to Byrne and Irene’s reign. For the Ouden Continent’s Eastern Four Kingdoms, a completely new era had dawned, and in this modern time, there was no longer a need for the existence of gangsters at the grassroots level.

Therefore, the Dagger Brotherhood began a large-scale transformation and reorganization from top to bottom, evolving into a mercenary company several decades ago.

Despite numerous resistances and difficulties during the change, Moore remained resolute, even going so far as to eliminate a part of the “old gang brothers” who would not comply, all in accordance with the rules.

At the beginning, the number of common folk under Moore’s command drastically decreased, while the number of extraordinary exponents surged. Later, the count of logistics personnel comprising common folk continuously grew as well, and their business expanded, even impacting overseas territories on the Ouden Continent. Recently, even the three continents beyond the great glaciers have seen the Mo’er Security Company delve into various ventures.

Now, overtly, Mo’er Security Company boasts thousands of extraordinary exponents in the Claud World, with as many as five “Special Level Agents” who have even reached the Monarch Level or the 5th Rank.

Currently, the highest authority within Mo’er Security Company, the “Moore Management Committee,” consists of thirteen members. Among them, five are powerful Special Level Agents, while the remaining eight are members of the Dawn Church appointed by Christine of the Fischer family, all of whom are essentially related to the Fischer family itself.

These thirteen committee members decide many matters, big and small, for Mo’er Security Company, and beneath them are nearly a hundred company enforcers, filling the middle-tier roles as external squad leaders or internal department managers within the company.

Further down are countless logistics personnel, ordinary auxiliary fighters, and thousands of true working extraordinary exponents.

In the modern era, with the advent of rifles and various new weapons, even well-trained low-level Extraordinary Exponents at the Beginning Level can exhibit combat effectiveness comparable to low-level Transmuted Extraordinary Exponents from a hundred years ago. To suppress those unarmed Beginning Level extraordinary exponents requires merely a few riflemen.

Over a hundred years ago, the bullets from flintlock guns could only cause grazes to lower-level Transmuted extraordinary exponents and could even be casually caught by high-level Transmuted extraordinary exponents… But with the introduction of semi-automatic rifles capable of continuous firing, the situation in battleship experienced a significant change.

After firing in bursts for a while, indeed, it could kill lower-level Transmuted extraordinary exponents, and extraordinary exponents below the Monarch Level could no longer catch bullets with their hands.

Then, various types of machine guns also became widely available on the battlefield, allowing ordinary people the opportunity to kill extraordinary exponents at the Transmutation Level.

Even upper-level Transmuted extraordinary exponents, if they were not skilled in defense, could likely be “scraped” to severe injury or death by intense, focused firepower.

As some of the old era’s extraordinary exponents were brutally slaughtered by machine guns and semi-automatic rifles, the combat strategies of the current era’s extraordinary exponents also began to shift, focusing more on guerrilla and special tactics rather than charging headlong into bullets—that privilege was now reserved only for Monarch Level extraordinary exponents.

“Mo’er Security Company” places significant emphasis on the use of firearm firepower. In regions outside the Ouden Continent where technology is not as advanced, low-level extraordinary exponents still dominate many primitive tribes. A few well-trained teams of armed mercenaries from “Mo’er Security Company” can slaughter these unguarded low-level extraordinary exponents with ease.

In fact, behind the “Moore Security Company Management Committee” is a “Boss behind the scenes.”

Having retreated into the background for many years, the boss’s true existence is known only to the members of the management committee.

That man is Moore, over a hundred years old, the eldest son of Grandma Narda, the first Blood Receiver, founder of the Dagger Brotherhood, and one of the early followers of the Dawn Church under the Fischer family.

He has an average build, neither overly muscular nor lacking in masculine fortitude. Time has left faint traces on his face, which have only served to add a touch of calmness.@@novelbin@@

His eyes are Moore’s most striking feature, deep and night-sky-like, as if they could see into people’s hearts, sometimes sharp as an eagle’s and at other times soft and profound.

His nose is straight, his lips are tightly closed, exuding an aura of innate authority. A faint scar on his chin is a medal from countless life-and-death struggles of the past, a mark he chose to retain rather than heal after the battles.
