Chapter 351 - 09: Blood Elf and Dragon Mercenary Group (3)_3
Two people managed to fill the roles of a five-person Mercenary Group, and they were especially strong in certain key positions, like the area-damage Mage.
It’s said that the best leaders are those who can handle any position and do anything. After all, you never know which position might suddenly become vacant. A leader who can excel in various roles is also likely to command their group with precision.
Thinking about it, Andrew suddenly felt like he was born to be a group leader. He could handle at least three roles—and maybe even act as bait or vanguard. That made four positions. Practically all-round! Actually, Christina could do it too, though she’d need to swap out her brain first. After all, a leader might lack many things, but one thing they absolutely can’t lack is brains; otherwise, they’ll lead the entire Mercenary Group straight into a pit.
By the way, thanks to the tasks completed last month, Blood Elf and Dragon Mercenary Group had already ascended to a Level Five group. In Linlopes, the highest ranking Mercenary Groups only reached Level Seven.
Throughout Linlopes, there were eight Level Seven Mercenary Groups, most of which were large and mighty—essentially mercenary armies rather than mere mercenary groups.
There were twenty-five Level Six Mercenary Groups, some streamlined, while others had massive teams. Level Five Mercenary Groups numbered at eighty-one.
In other words, Blood Elf and Dragon Mercenary Group was now considered mid-to-upper tier, and it had gained some renown.
After reaching Level Five, if a group wants to climb further up the rankings, they must complete highly challenging tasks. Ordinary tasks, no matter how quickly, perfectly, or frequently they are completed, won’t suffice. Ascending to Level Six is essentially the dividing line between top-tier and average Mercenary Groups.
Of course, Andrew was quite confident. After all, their team had a dragon, whose combat power hadn’t yet been fully tapped.

Once the contract was signed, the arrangements indeed changed. Especially for those being cultivated as priority personnel, the treatment was markedly different. The task pick-up point was relocated to a private booth in the mission hall, with a dedicated staff member assigned.
