"Thank you for the information."
Ark nodded in appreciation. I am thankful that Joseph shared the information.
"Either. However, do you not want to add rations as a sign of gratitude? Information is valuable, right?" joseph said in a half-joking tone.
"certain. I'll give you an extra."
Ark nodded casually. Absolutely not so concerned with such trivial things.
"Really?" ask Joseph.
"En." Ark nodded.
Not just Joseph, Julian stared at the Ark with an astonished expression. They both did not expect that the master sculptor could be so generous.
"I don't have to pay for it or exchange it for something, do I?" joseph asked doubtfully.
"Of course not. Why are you so doubtful?"
Joseph and Julian glanced at each other. Of course they doubt. They've been hit by Ark's dirty tricks many times. Even the last time they thought of making a profit, they had instead made a huge loss. Work with low pay!
"If you don't want to, I'm not pushy at all. After all, I also have nothing to lose if I don't give you a gift." Ark shrugged his shoulders.
"I agree!" said Joseph.
"What about me, Ark?" ask Julian.
"Other times look for unique and useful information, stop running around here and there as a less-worked hero."
"..."
Julian's lips twitched. Ark's speech actually directly hit his face on the spot. Yet he was just silent, having absolutely no intention of arguing just to be defeated and beaten up with the sharp speech of the young man in front of him!
"Then let me do a short job interview and then pick out the people before we continue the exchange."
"Good!" reply them both.
After that, Ark got up from his seat then descended to the first floor. Start a job interview and sort out the people who will join the group.
About three hours later, Ark's election was finally over. In accordance with the agreement, he selected fifteen men and five women from each group brought in.
Receive forty people in total in one go!
An hour and a half later, the transaction between the three groups was completed. Just then, Silver Cross and Black Panther decided to return to their place.
Meanwhile, Ark saw forty people lined up in front of the shophouse with indifferent expressions behind his mask.
"Congratulations to you for being chosen to join the Dark Caravan.
I know you guys have crossed so many obstacles that you can get this far. Even so, I will not be gentle with you at all.
Despite officially joining the Dark Caravan, you will have a training period of two weeks. In that time, you will stay here. Not going to the main headquarters directly!
Of course you can calm down. In this time, daily food and beverage rations will be guaranteed. All you need to do is do the exercises in accordance with the provisions.
There are three seniors who will stay here with you. They will train, supervise, and look after all of you.
They are Darin, Yonas, and Vadim!"
After Ark spoke, the three people lined up nearby.
"It's good to see you, Senior!" say forty men in unison.
The three people looked at each other with astonished expressions. They even felt quite happy for being so appreciated.
"Good spirit." Ark nodded. "However, passion alone is not enough. I want real effort from all of you!"
"Okay, Chief!!!" answer them in unison.
In two weeks, there will be a rotation going on from the members who completed the exercises and the new recruits.
Ark has a very good training plan. In the first week, Darin and two others will train the entire basics of attacking, defending and dodging.
In week two, Darin will give them a choice of sword or spear. Darin will train the spear and Yonas will train the sword. At that time, each new member will be given 3 servings of evolutionary herbs for one week.
In this last week of practice, let them compete to sort out the ones with strong potential.
After the two-week training schedule was completed, everyone would be taken to the headquarters. Right then, they would be separated into two parts.
Of the 30 men, 20 will be soldiers and 10 will be workers.
Out of 10 women, 5 will be soldiers and 5 will be workers.
For those who were chosen as warriors, they would be trained and given an evolution potion. Trained to complete the first evolution in the next two weeks.
Meanwhile, the workers would perform other tasks such as building, cleaning, and such. Tasks that have nothing to do with fighting.
That may sound unfair, but in addition to reducing the overspending of evolutionary potions, Ark does need people to do the menial work.
Mixing up all the work was completely less effective and detrimental, so he set up this kind of system.
Of course, those people had a chance to change their fate.
Two weeks later when the newly mature recruits (completing training two weeks) arrive, they have a chance to challenge the chosen ones to become soldiers.
If they win, they will take their place. If they lose, they will remain workers.
A system that is arguably fair because it demands their respective abilities.
In this time, three people namely Darin, Yonas, and Vadim have agreed to stay in this place to train new recruits. Of course, not forever, but still quite a long time.
Two men will not return to headquarters for three months. Meanwhile, Darin would return once a week. In addition to meeting her lover and letting go of their longing, she had to return mid-training to pick up an evolution potion.
Of course, there was a reason why Darin did so while the other two people had to stay. Not just because of the power but ...
Now Darin has become Sansa's partner!
Yep. Become one of the true wolf riders!
This has surprised many people. Lisa is the one who claims to be Tamer. The little girl began to doubt her own identity!
"In that case, I'll leave the rest to you guys."
Sitting on Finn's back, Ark said to Darin, Yonas, and Vadim.
"Good, Chief!" answer them in unison.
Then Ark left followed by Debby's towed train. Lisa herself sat in the coachman's seat, while Stacy sat next to her.
They marched, went towards the main headquarters!
***
Almost midnight.
Ark and his comrades had already traveled half the way. Merely, just then his expression changed when he heard the singing of the crows in the night sky.
Looking at the figures of the mutated crows who should be inactive in the area, Ark did not panic at all.
Instead, he immediately gave the order.
"Pull out your weapons! Prepare to fight!"
Hearing Ark's words, Lisa and Stacy instantly pulled out their weapons. Been prepared to fight at any time!
