"Yes, that would be me. Is there an issue with officers? We had just arrived in town to visit my father's friend's birthday party before you all showed up." Yoze said politely while still keeping his blood armor activated with caution.

"I am General Blood Stone. I and my soldiers received information that a martial art sect was planning to attack the town from the inside. However, we had received several locations for where the attack was starting so we could only split up our forces."

"As you might have guessed by now, this was one of the suspected locations. So we apologize if we interrupted your father's friend's birthday party." General Blood Stone said in an apologetic tone as he retracted his blood mist and blood claws.

"That's fine but what are you going to do with the six people who fainted," Yoze said as he deactivated his blood armor.

Figuring that they were tricked by Regl to use for his plan, Yoze didn't feel any urge to kill them since that would only make the problem worse. And from what it seems there weren't going to be any issues with being able to leave.

"You can take your friends to the hospital to get checked up and don't worry about paying any of the fees just tell them I sent you. As for our friend here, he is going to be sent to jail once he wakes up for giving us the wrong information at such a crucial time." General Blood Stone looked at the priest's body with a cold light as he signaled his soldiers to take him away. 

"Thank you," Yoze thanked General Blood Stone as he planned to take up his offer.

Even though he had killed Regi, Yoze was still interested in collecting not only Regi's talents but also his puppets. Since Winter, Summer, and Spring were also Blood Masters their talent in martial arts must have been good before Regi had turned them into his core puppets.

"I heard from reports that you might be interested in doing missions for pay, is that right?" General Blood Stone's face relaxed as he saw Yoze had deactivated his Blood Armor.

Even though Yoze wasn't intentionally putting pressure on his men, just the mere sight of a giant covered in blood armor was intimidating. So once he took off his blood armor and shrunk back to his original 8 feet tall body they couldn't help but feel a bit more relieved.

"What do you have in mind?" Yoze asked curious about what kind of mission General Blood Stone would want him to do.

"Attack these sect headquarters. For every one of them, you decide to attack. We will pay you 50 thousand silver for everyone you attack."

"Of course, everything you get from the sect will be yours." General Blood Stone said with a grin on his face as he took out a sheet of paper with a list of martial art sects and their locations.

"It would be best if you could wipe them off the face of the map but if you are not interested in that, damaging them is fine too." 

Yoze grabbed the piece of paper and noticed that a majority of these martial art sects weren't known to him, meaning they weren't very strong. At most, they would be considered to be mid-sized martial art sects that had a few blood masters and at the very peak have a sect master who was at the peak of the Blood Master realm.

They were strong enough to gain the town's attention but not strong enough to be an immediate threat. Now that there were rumors that the town was going to be attacked, the town's desire to get rid of these martial art sects exploded.

However, since the town needed to keep its forces near the town in case of a real attack, they couldn't send their army to these sects. That didn't mean that New Swamp Town was powerless and could not do anything; instead, the town had plenty of ways to harm these sects.

One of those methods was hiring external forces to attack the sects in the town's steed. These external forces could be mercenaries, other towns' and villages' armies, or other powerful martial artists who would be interested in taking advantage of the chaos.

Judging from how prepared and willing General Blood Stone was to hire him, Yoze assumed that others like him were offered the same incentive. While the offer was extremely good for most people it wasn't as tempting for Yoze since he wasn't lacking money.

Especially when he had gotten paid 100 thousand silver by the Thorn Rose Sect Yoze felt that he needed to increase how much he got paid to do work for New Swampscott City and by extension New Swamp Town.

"I would like to take you up on that offer General Blood Stone but your offer just isn't enough to buy my services. If you can offer me at least 100 thousand silver for every sect I destroy then we can have a deal." Yoze said with confidence.

"I saw how about I increase my offer to 100 thousand silver but you have to at least target one of the sects that I mark. After that, you can target any other sect for a similar amount." General Blood Stone closed his eyes as he thought about Yoze's offer before accepting.

Even though the price was high, General Blood Stone knew that there weren't many people in this world who were as strong as Yoze. Even though he was confident in his strength when he saw Yoze's blood giant form his instincts told him that there was no way for him to win and should focus on escaping.

With someone this powerful targeting these martial art sects there was a high possibility that they would be destroyed. That would be the best result that the town would hope for and gladly would pay more money to get rid of as many of these sects that were possible since they knew that the benefits outweighed the price.

It wasn't only the cities that wanted to expand their territories by taking over the areas controlled by martial art sects. Since these martial art sects were close to New Swamp Town majority of their territory would be integrated into the town which would be a big boost to the town's power.
