I'll tell you what, Daeva. userguildname may have the best fighters around, but you can always use more.

The Elyos and the Balaur won't play fair. You'll need every advantage you can get. And that's where I come in.

More specifically, that's where my mercenaries come in. We're the meanest rough-and-tumble gang you can hire, and we're yours for some Blood Marks.

All you need to do is pick a zone you want us to defend and keep us paid.

Hold on there friend. I'm only doing business with the owners of this fortress.

Sheurint's Slaughterers aren't for hire to just everyone, you understand.

Well now, you may be a member of userguildname, but we've got a problem.

See, we don't work for free. You'll need some Blood Marks if you want our help.

Zone 1 is the main entrance to Silona Fortress and the nearby areas.

It's where the fighting'll be thickest in any siege worth worrying about.

Now, keeping that in mind, 14 Blood Marks is a downright bargain.

For that, you'll get 2 of the meanest gunslingers around, and 5 Asmodian Mines to handle any Elyos fluttering about.

What do you say?

Zone 2, huh? Always good to have a rear guard. My troops in this zone will watch the corridors and the floating islands.

10 Blood Marks will get you 5 of my sorcerers. Yeah, that's right, only 2 Blood Marks for each spell-flinging death machine.

I know what you're thinking. Where do you sign?

Zone 3, huh? If things start going bad, you'll appreciate this choice. These floating islands will make for good defensive points.

10 Blood Marks will get you 5 of the toughest gunslingers you've ever seen. They'll fill the air with bullets.

Sound like a deal?

Sheurint's Slaughterers and userguildname! There's a match to make the Elyos tremble!

You won't regret this, Daeva. Mark my words.
