When busy doing something, time is so easy to pass.
Imperceptibly, two days passed and everyone who was about to take part in the mission had gathered in the vast field of the outer circle of the Sword of Sufferings headquarters. From the number of 225 people, they are divided into 4 teams with 55, 60, 60, and 50 members.
“Gosh, I'm really embarrassed to be noticed by a lot of people like this. Ouch!”
Jay said in a careless tone, but his waist was immediately pinched violently by Mona standing beside him.
“Remember, Jay. It's a special task, not the time to relax.”
“Come, Darling. Consider it a honeymoon. We can-uh! Pardon me! At least give me a face when I'm outside, ok?”
“Huh.”
Mona rolled her eyes, looking dissatisfied with Jay's unreliable behavior. Even so, he also no longer bothered the man. It seems to really still give face to Jay in public.
Seeing such a romantic partner, many people felt somewhat dissatisfied. Meanwhile, Leon confidently said.
“Love just makes me stupid and can't fight well.”
“...”
Many people immediately saw Leon who spoke out loud and confidently with a face of respect. They could not help but be amazed in their hearts.
‘To be single for life! His brain is only filled with food and fighting!’
Meanwhile, Draco who was standing next to him looked disgusted. He himself was a bit confused. The man cannot forget his dead ex-lover, but also wants to move forward to live a new, better life.
‘Love makes weak? Look at Saito the paralyzed face. Look at Darin who is now trying inconspicuously. Look at Jay, the vice-chairman of the group. Who of them doesn't have a boyfriend?’
Draco complained to his heart. He clearly disagrees. The man then looked towards the Ark.
‘Even if the chairman does not officially have a lover, there are many women around him. Maybe five or six?’
Ark clearly felt Draco's gaze. Turning his gaze towards the man, he tilted his head.
“Is there a problem, Draco? Tell me before we leave. Do not let there be accidents because of trivial things on the road.”
“Ah! Nothing, Chairman!” reply Draco with a nervous tone.
Just then, the reckless looking middle-aged man walked towards Ark. That person spoke in a careless tone, making many people look at him straight away.
“With the help of Old Franky, I made this, Boss. Isn't that nice and fragrant? Isn't an old man like me supposed to stay at the headquarters and play with creativity?
My old bones are not suitable for fighting for too long. My waist must hurt if I roam too long in the wild.”
Ark received a box of artificial cigarettes with an interested expression. Although its appearance and use are similar to cigarettes, its contents are various herbs that Ark has formulated its composition. It was Old Franky and Claus who started trying to experiment and eventually produced it.
The way it is made is a little complicated because many types of leaves and flowers are needed. In addition, how to cut and dry it is different. Not to mention, how to mix it must be in the right composition so that it does not end up failing.
Ark did not expect that the two of them could produce quite a lot in such a short period of time. In one special box given by Claus, Ark saw 100 cigarettes lined up neatly.
“You can't do that, Claus. Give everything.”
Saito appears behind Claus and pinches the collar behind the man's neck.
“A-I've given it my all, Friend.”
“Eject.” Saito's eyes narrowed.
“Ugh!”
“Old Franky also keeps ten rods, Boss! You have to take it.”
Seeing that the plan to hide the excess stuff failed, Claus immediately sent Old Franky because he did not want the old man to enjoy it himself.
Ark who had just finished storing a fairly large box in a bag on his waist received a small box from Claus. The young man then asked everyone.
“Someone wants it?”
Hearing that, Claus wanted to say something but did not dare to be stared at by Saito. Jay was obviously interested, but did not dare to say it as he felt a cold stare from the side. Saito himself was not interested in such a thing. Whether it's a real cigarette or even a drug made in that particular way.
Other members are embarrassed to ask. Even people like Draco and Leon were also embarrassed as some level 4 generals did not even dare to ask.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Ark shrugged.
“If there is no, I will save it.”
Ark immediately put a small box into his shirt pocket so that it could be picked up at any time. The young man's gaze then swept across the entire people who were on the field. They had all been wearing full uniforms and carrying bags containing equipment that had to be carried.
What they were wearing were ordinary clothes inside, wearing gloves and leather shoes, as well as wearing robes. Each of them also carried two swords and a mask. While filling the bag, there are two sets of clothes, a water bag, and some other tools. As mentioned earlier, everyone brought it.
In addition, in each group, there were five people chosen to bring supplies.
There are also four additional members. Michi in team 1, Finn, Huginn, and Muninn in team 4. Lisa plans to take Debby, but Ark refuses as the black doberman is still very useful for guarding the headquarters along with several other huskies.
“As I said before. The four teams will go through different routes. Every team leader has got information from me. As members, you only need to follow the chairman's orders. However, there is one important thing that you must remember.
Each team will immediately rush to the city without the need to open the road because we do not bring a train. For water and food, you can hunt if the supplies are not enough to the destination. The last is a matter of time.
We leave today. We went to four different cities. Whether it is difficult or easy in spreading the name and opening branches. Whether it's over or not, I'm asking all the teams to come back before winter.
Do you guys understand?”
“YA, CHAIRMAN!” answer them in unison.
Looking at those people, Ark nodded lightly. He then gave orders.
“Then, disperse! Follow the settings of the respective group leader.”
After saying that, Ark Langung pointed towards the fifty people who were lined up neatly.
“You ... follow me.”
“YA, CHAIRMAN!”
After answering in unison, fifty people immediately followed Ark and Lisa who were walking together. The figures of Finn, Huginn, and Muninn also appear following them.
Ark glanced at Lisa.
“What's up, Lisa?”
Lisa shook her head. Having a bright smile on her face, the girl retorted.
“It's okay. Everything must be fine.”
Although puzzled by what the girl meant, Ark nodded lightly in response. Thus, even a large-scale expedition mission had finally begun.
