Apocalypse Regression's
The Brave Knights?
“I did not reject Hades.” proposal
“True. I guess that's also a good thing for all of us.”
“Yes! Uniting everyone is the most appropriate option.”
Whether due to Ark's threatened presence or indeed sincerely agreeing in their hearts, people began to express their support. Not only were they supportive, they were also displaying smiles on their faces. However Ark could instantly tell which smile was sincere or hypocritical.
The young man simply chose silence as if he did not know it. He just sat in his place without much comment.
Meanwhile, Julian himself became even more relieved. The man seemed to have been satisfied because the people were willing to unite. Clearly, his increasingly gentle actions made Joseph and Ark less satisfied. It seems, the prestige of a hero who has overthrown the evil government long ago faded.
“Then it has been decided, we will unite to prevent threats from outside.”
Julian said with a friendly smile on his face. Glancing at Joseph and Ark who chose silence, he shook his head lightly. The man then looked at the other members while asking.
“Does anyone want to make a proposal?”
Seeing that they were all just silent, Julian let out a long sigh. He then said back.
“Then we will discuss the next topic.”

Four days later.
“Hey, why isn't Uncle Jay coming? Do you treat her differently, sister?”
Sitting on the rooftop of the carriage, Lisa gazed towards the Ark riding Finn while moving slowly on the side of the carriage.
“Are you not happy? Don't you usually like these kinds of things? I mean …
Usually you always want to come, right?”
Ark said in a flat tone. Hearing her words, Lisa was stunned for a moment. Behind the mask, the girl's expression had changed completely. He then glared at Ark while shouting.
“Who do you think this is all wrong, brother? Who told me to go to the underground aqueduct and fight it out?
Not just dizziness and nausea, the smell is really very difficult to get rid of! That sucks a lot!”
“What do you think of when you go outside to do a task? Adventure in a beautiful world while looking at the sights and feeling love? Sorry, we don't have that kind of luxury, Little Girl!”
After saying that, Ark patted Finn on the back. The two of them then advanced forward even faster then disappeared in the distance.
Seeing that, the newly conscious Lisa could only put on a pouting expression behind her mask.
After traveling for quite a while, the Sword of Sufferings group arrived at the location. The members present consisted of 100 soldiers, 10 workers in charge of taking care of weapons or caring for wounds, and seven core members. They are Ark, Lisa, Stacy, Kurona, Shirona, Darin, and Yonas. There are also some small teams Ark is assigned to do some things elsewhere.
The location they used as a gathering place was the border area of the city not far from where the Nature Guardian had previously appeared. Not because they were looking for trouble, but indeed in that place the mutated ants first appeared. Moreover, Nature Guardian had also left.
According to Ark's experience in his previous life, Nature Guardian usually went from chaotic places and looked for a quiet place to live. It was also one of Ark's inspirations of leaving chaos in his previous life. Tired of continuing to struggle and see death, he ran away and chose to seclude himself.
This certainly makes many people feel envious, especially for group leaders. However, there were also many young men who were amazed. They hoped to have the chance to register and then join the Sword of Sufferings group, the most feared group in the city!
“It seems we came last.”
Ark said calmly as he led his people to pick a spot. Although they would fight, but the three carriages could not continue advancing and had to be guarded. After all, all three were places where food rations, medicines, and weapons were loaded.
The people who listened to Ark's words did not protest at all. Instead, they feel relieved. Most of them have strange thoughts. Fear of Hades will create trouble for them if it comes later. According to their habits, the more important person can usually come last. Of course, arriving early or at the earliest is also allowed.
Coming down from Finn's back, Ark instantly arranged for his people. His tone became stricter and more serious than usual.
“Let down the bow and quiver. Twenty pre-selected people, grab and prepare yourself.”
“Eighty people remaining, create a small team with five members as scheduled. Do you remember your position in the formation? Don't mess with your lives!”
“Excrete ointment and antidote of poison, each take one. Put it in a place that is easy to reach but also easy to protect. Don't be reckless because it might be your turning point in the face of crisis!”
“Stop pacing and marching! Don't behave like a mammal without a brain! Finish all this in fifteen minutes!”
“I DIDN'T HEAR YOUR ANSWER?!”
Looking at the cold and resolute eyes behind the mask, those people immediately stood firm and saluted. A second later, a firm and unisoned voice sounded. It instantly made the other group shocked by what they saw.
“YA, CHIEF!!”
Hearing the answer, Ark nodded. He then glanced in the other direction. There, the figure of Julian that Berto followed, and the figure of Siegfried who stood alone looked at him.
“Are the preparations you made already done?” ask Ark in a flat tone.
“We have prepared it quite well.” Julian nodded lightly.
“Before leaving, Mr. Joseph has helped us prepare. Although it can not be compared with your group, but we also do it quite well.” Siegfried said with a calm expression.
Ark looked towards Siegfried. Ever since Joseph lost one of his legs and could no longer fight on the battlefield, it was that young man who replaced him. Although slightly younger compared to Ark, Siegfried grew quite well. Not to mention in this chaotic world, the young man could grow at an incredible speed. Even in every meeting, there will definitely be changes.
Of course, every member of the Sword of Sufferings also continued to turn stronger. Yet they are all not only supported by exercise, but also adequate nutrition and evolutionary herbs. It was clearly very different to Siegfried growing up his own way, and getting only a little external help.
“Is there anything I can help you with? Or do you want to say something?”
Hearing Ark's question, Julian was the first to answer.
“It's about the number of people we collect, Ark. The Sword of Sufferings sent about 100 warriors, while the Silver Cross and Black Panther were about 200. Coupled with the large number of people from other groups, we have a total number of around a thousand people.
With so many numbers, we can definitely deal with all of this. After all, even though the enemy is numerous, humans cannot be underestimated either. Especially the brave knights who dared to risk their lives!”
Hearing Julian's remark, Ark nodded lightly but did not reply. Despite nodding, he clearly did not agree too much with Julian's remark. The young man glanced at the gathered people and looked excited then thought.
‘Brave knights, huh?’
