Apocalypse Regression's

The Imperial Phoenix

Two days just passed.

Traveling not too close but also not too far away, Ark and his army finally reached their destination. The border between the Blade of Areia and the Cursed Berserkers.

The place they came to was the mansion in the middle of the city. Yeah, a giant mansion owned by the richest man in town.

Of course, the reason why they had come was not for the mansion, but the vast land surrounding the mansion that was now mutated. There was an artificial lake that became wider and there was also a dense forest around it.

According to the information received, very many insects mutated with deadly poison here. Not to mention, there were also mutated beings living in the abandoned mansion.

Although it was said to be the best mansion in the city, but its condition also looked terrible. The building was slightly slanted as the ground was raised. In fact, the left part of the building was destroyed by the roots of a giant tree whose canopy almost covered the entire city.

Looking at the forest in the distance and some giant roots there, Ark's expression became even more solemn.

“Everyone, prepare to fight.”

Hearing Ark's words, the soldiers instantly unsheathed their swords.

“Front line, open way. Middle row, ready to give help. Back row, prepare your bow and arrows.”

“Ya, Chairman!” answer them in unison.

Entering the area where the buildings started to disappear, everyone's expression became solemn. At that very moment, the front soldier began to clean up the thickets that blocked the road.

In the beginning, there was nothing special. However, some sudden changes occurred after they went deeper.

In the damp, dark, silent, fog-filled forest, there was initially only the sound of the footstroke and the slash of a sword cutting through the thickets. However, just then Ark and his comrades heard a humming sound.

Although he had not found the creature that produced the sound, but Ark and his colleagues were already very vigilant. Trained to be ready to fight at any time.

A while waiting, the owner of the voice finally displayed his form.

Mosquitoes.

Maybe not a scary animal. It was just that, ever since the world was at peace, they had remained troublesome creatures that killed many humans. Now, what Ark and his colleagues discovered left their scalps numb.

The mosquito they encountered had a body as big as a fist. If one sucks blood, it can seem up to a liter. However, their numbers were not just one or two, but thousands.

Thousands of mosquitoes can drain them. They are also sure that ‘sukan’ mosquito injections that make them poisoning many diseases. Even if not dead, those people must have been made to suffer by the mosquitoes.

“Restrict.”

Ark said calmly. Although people can face the mosquito, but that does not mean it takes a short time and there are no victims. The young man believes the mutated mosquitoes are making quite a hassle.

That's why Ark decided to use his own way.

The young man came forward while extending a hand. Rubies' red eyes lit up then red energy instantly enveloped his body.

His right hand was stretched forward. Right then and there, all the mutated mosquitoes that were flying were instantly enveloped in red energy. They can't move their bodies at all.

Ark's outstretched hand immediately clenched as if it was catching something.

“Mati.”

Together with Ark's words, thousands of mutated mosquitoes instantly exploded into splashes of blood that spread to the trees around. The view is filled with red.

“Uhuk! Uhuk!”

Ark coughed a few times. The young man then spat out some mouthfuls of blood. Turning his eyes to the people, he said.

“Come away from this place because the scent of blood can attract many vicious predators approaching.”

“Good, Chairman!” answer them in unison.

Looking at Ark's back, everyone felt astonished and respectful. They also felt very grateful for having obtained such a reliable leader. Almost everyone has the same goal ...

That was not to disappoint Ark who had accommodated and helped them grow until now!

Three days later, in the mansion that was made the headquarters of the Sword of Sufferings.

Yesterday they just arrived at the mansion and immediately rested. After the energy recovered, Ark assigned them all to clean the mansion.

Although they numbered in the hundreds, but the mansion was very large and magnificent. Not to mention, after several years of abandonment as well as world changes, the interior of the mansion was filled with soil, mud, and grass.

It was fortunate that they had all broken through the boundary and made an evolution. Although not fun, but they can do the task quite easily.

In just half a day, the interior of the mansion managed to clear them. It is worth living for people.

“It's really dirty.”

Looking at the pile of trash and mud in the backyard like some small hill, Angelica frowned. Seeing a room that was quite clean even though it was still shabby, he felt amazed by the clean-up performance of this group.

Unlike the other groups who instantly stayed without caring where and what kind of dirtier conditions, the Sword of Sufferings completely cleared this place.

Perhaps because it was considered the main headquarters in this city, the Sword of Sufferings cleared this place more diligently and meticulously compared to the previous temporary headquarters.

After lunch in the front yard of the house, Ark had everyone bring various group equipment such as tents, cooking utensils, and such to the warehouse. After that, he divided the rooms according to their respective teams, which was one room for five soldiers.

Except for Ark and the women from Golden Rose, only Angelica received slightly different treatment.

Of course, being used to it, they were not at all envious or jealous. Moreover, compared to other groups, their lives were already very luxurious due to having a break room and personal equipment that even the other group leaders did not have.

In the end, the Sword of Sufferings spent their afternoons arranging items in their respective warehouses and rooms.

Of course, most of them did not know the clock because every time they looked outside, it only looked gray fog. I don't know if it's day or night. To be sure, they do shifts so they can work and rest in a balanced way.

Really adapted to the environment!

After completing their task, everyone gathered in a large and spacious hall. They all sat together while enjoying the water and eating the fruit picked on the way.

Sitting at the highest position near the stairs, Ark bit the fruit with a flat expression. Fruit juice flowed directly into his mouth. The taste is really sweet and refreshing, suitable to eat after work.

“All people.”

Ark called out.

Hearing his words, all the members who were there immediately turned their heads towards Ark. Everyone's expressions looked solemn, waiting for what the young man was trying to say.

“Your task tomorrow is to clean the front yard and backyard of the mansion. After that, we will explore the surrounding area.

The exploration mission will be carried out the day after tomorrow. Our job is not only to explore, but also to harvest what can be harvested and get rid of what needs to be removed. Although the city is a bit gloomy, but many plants and fruits are useful here.

No doubt, we can get quite a lot of profit in this city. So, tonight ...

Let's celebrate the establishment of our new headquarters with a party!”

Ark lifted the wooden glass he was carrying.

“OOOHHH!!”

Everyone immediately shouted happily. Even if there is nothing excessive. A party means they can eat and drink.

A luxury that only strong people have!

After a moment of uproar, Ark's gaze suddenly headed in another direction. Far outside the front yard of the mansion, there appeared to be about 30 people coming closer. They were all wearing military uniforms, obviously from the Imperial Phoenix.

Turning his relaxed expression flat as usual, Ark said.

“It appears we have guests.”
