Weapon seller in the world of magic

"This beast king is more intelligent than I thought." Shang Wen had a deep frown on his face with his eyes fixed at the army of beasts.

Usually, during a dungeon break, the beasts would go on a rampage but in this case, they were standing in a formation and calmly waiting for the orders, despite how they felt the fear as soon as Shang Wen arrived on the hill.

The formation is like a maze from the top view.

It was in the shape of 5 concentric circles with a 1000ft big three-headed hound standing in the center.

Four layers in this formation were filled with different types of hounds. In one layer, it is made of three-circle beasts and in the next layer, it is four-circle, the next is 3-circle and the innermost layer is once again four-circle beast. As for the five-circle beasts, they are spread all over the formation.

But, the biggest trouble is the outermost layer where 300ft big two-headed hounds, the supposed guardian protectors of the overlord were standing together with the 2-circle realm hounds instead.

After observing carefully, the second prince, Shang Wen mumbled, "Thankfully, the space between each is too great that one can pass through them but that means the six-circle realm experts will be engaged on the outside of the formation, far away from the overlord. I will have to count on myself until the end."

Shang Wen then took a scroll out of his storage ring and started to draw the formation and write the instructions before handing it to one of the scouts, telling him to hand it over to Jin De who has the authority to command other six-circle realm experts.

Flapping his fiery wings, Shang Wen flew towards the army.

*Woof* Woof* Woof*

Cerberus let out a mighty bark to get ready for the battle.

However, as the second prince continued to fly straight without attacking, Cerberus understood his intentions and once again barked, letting him fly towards the innermost layer.

Soon, Shang Wen reaches the centermost formation and stops before the thousand-foot beast.

He proceeded to take out a heavy sword from his storage ring. "I know that you can understand the human speech. Representing the Imperial family of the Phoenix Empire, I ask you to surrender and become our ally. All the beasts with the 4-circle realm and above will be spared."

"You want me to become a mount to inferior creatures like you? Hahaha…"

To his surprise, Cerberus started to talk in a human speech and even laugh like one.

"Listen very well, human. Tonight will be the last day you inferior creatures get to sleep peacefully. After exterminating you and your pitiful army on the other side of the hill, we will not only demolish the cities but also free the other creatures from the dungeon." After making a shocking statement, it went on to say, "Your deaths will be a present to my benefactor."

*Woof* *Woof* Woof*

Letting out another bark, Cerberus glowed brightly for a second, turning into a man in human form but with dog fur on his arms along with the claws. It's as if he was some kind of a weredog or werehound similar to that of a werewolf.

The second prince landed on the ground and poured the ether energy into the sword with a serious expression.

Several minutes later at the camping grounds;

"So, what now?" Mark fell into deep thoughts as the whole place was evacuated by the spirit warriors. Only the cooking staff and other servants with no ether left.

In deep thinking, he was walking back and forth.

Mark was the type to get offended when someone gives him a warning unless he doesn't have a way to face the other party. However, he was forced to stay behind, this time because he had yet to make an important decision.

If everything went smoothly, Mark would have set out for the top of the hill and parked his tank there while the others get on to the battlefield before the dungeon break.

While they were busy arranging their squads and getting into formations, Mark would go into the rear chamber and get ready to shoot the targets with 120mm ammo.

After that, the dungeon will break, the monsters will rush out and the allied army will do whatever they planned earlier.

Mark will then continuously load and shoot the beast army with 120mm ammunition, creating havoc on the battlefield.

Amid the chaos, he will then get back to the front chamber again and ride into the battlefield. Once he kills the beast, all that's left is to store it and leave the place. As he was the one that killed it, no one would naturally object to it.

This plan had a major flaw. It is that there will be casualties of humans too. They might be small in number or might be big.

In that case, Mark can justify his actions somehow. In this world, people would respect and fear the power of an individual. So, he was confident that they will ignore it as long as his contribution is high.

However, the sudden change of his situation became a problem in his strategy.

Not only the battle had arrived earlier, not only did the prince display his wings and fly off to the battlefield, turning the area into the day, but he also left a note for him.

When Mark heard of it, he felt as if the prince looked through him.

Now, if he recklessly attacks the beasts and there will be casualties on the side of the humans, it was clearly giving a signal to Shang Wen that he will not care about his opinion.

And that will also be fine as long as he has high contributions. The worst thing that can happen is their deal falls apart, and he will have to return the advance.

But, can he kill the overlord and acquire its core?

Mark had a strong feeling that the prince will battle it for sure. Like him, the prince might also wish for it.

If he can't complete the quest, then, it's worthless to spend all those ammunition and increase his debt to the system.

And then, he will be forced to kill the second prince. Maybe, after that, the remaining six-circle realm experts will die under his hand. What happens then?

He will develop a strong enmity out of the Imperial family. The Emperor will not leave him alive.

The store will save him but the Emperor can also ban the citizens to buy the firearms altogether if they can't destroy him, thereby reducing his income to zero and eventually, making him leave the Empire itself.

In that case, Mark will have to go to a different Empire.

A firearm is an invention that will be popular wherever it was sold. So, he might be able to start the business again but, if he leaves the Empire, then, he would lose the income coming from the Lin Clan, he will lose the future profits from the second prince himself.

They are thousands of gold coins.

"I had to think of a solution where I won't need to escape the Imperial city and also acquire the core. How?"

Mark continued to ponder.

After a whole minute, an idea popped up in his head.

"What if I wait until the last minute and steal the corpse? All I need to just touch it.

Unlike others whose storage rings have limited size, my inventory doesn't have size limitations. Whether it is a 1-foot beast or a 1000-meter beast, everything is the same. The only thing that matters is the number.

But, stealing the beast in front of everyone will extremely offend everyone. The prince or the others won't let me. They will try to kill me. The second prince might take this opportunity to kill me and snatch the Battle Tank. So, even in this case, I will have to kill them.

So, not only do I need to kill it and steal it but I should also showcase my strength? All this will happen with only one thing. But, is it worth acquiring a rank-6 robot? Hmm, wait a second. I can also sell the corpse, right? It is a seven-circle realm beast king."

When the thought of the estimated value of such beast appeared in his head, Mark's eyes lit up. If one would be standing before him, they might have seen an illusion of his pupils turning into gold coins for a moment.

Cracking his knuckles, he let out a wide grin, "now, let's get to the business."

After a while, the battle tank was seen traveling towards the west, taking a detour around to make it to the other side of the beast army.

The servants who were standing outside were stunned on the spots.

"Am I seeing things?" They could only look at each other in confusion for they had never seen such a thing in their whole lives.
