Three days later.
After a long journey, Ark and his comrades finally arrived at the Cursed Berserkers headquarters.
On this trip, Ark brought about half the members. They were 100 level 2 warriors, 20 people in charge of carrying items, and 5 cooks. Besides them, he also brought Roxanne and the two women from Golden Rose.
There is also a Scorpio who Ark deliberately brought to be a guide.
As for the rest, Ark had them stay at the headquarters to perform tasks. All will be led by Mona while Ark, Jay, and Roxanne are absent.
Arriving at the area of the Cursed Berserkers headquarters, Ark and his comrades immediately frowned.
“This smell ..”
Ark muttered with a dissatisfied expression.
Clearly, the air pollution around the headquarters area was carried out by the Cursed Berserkers people who could not keep clean. They obviously throw almost everything useless around. Absolutely not throw it away, bury it, let alone destroy it by burning.
Ark then took out a mask like a bird's beak and put it on. Seeing the chief cheating, the other Sword of Sufferings members could only be dumbfounded.
They don't have special masks like Ark's. So, finally they only use a clean cloth to be used as an emergency mask.
Meanwhile, the members of the Cursed Berserkers and Scorpio seemed accustomed. In fact, the bald man felt a bit embarrassed for not explaining the air pollution problem that became the ‘bias’ problem in various groups of this city.
“Scorpio.”
“Ya, Sir!”
Called by Ark, Scorpio instantly came closer. The man immediately saluted and waited for instructions from the young man.
“You entered first then-“
“See! The chairman is finally back!”
A loud voice sounded from a distance. The voice seemed to be filled with happiness and contentment.
Hearing that, Ark and his comrades knew that they could not see far away and could only see shadows from a distance. You could say, those people seemed very confident because they did not worry whether the one who came was the enemy or not.
“So, what should I do, Mister?”
“Not so.” Ark shook his head. “You just need to be near me then explain to people if needed.”
“Ah! Fine, Mister. I understand!”
After that, they continued walking towards the Cursed Berserkers headquarters. Directly rushed to the headquarters passing ahead without the slightest fear.
By the time Ark and his comrades got closer, the people from the Cursed Berserkers had only reacted.
“Who are you?! What are you trying to do!”
“You guys actually tried to attack the main headquarters of the Cursed Berserkers just because the main group left? Aren't you guys afraid of our revenge, huh?!”
“...”
Seeing people start saying harsh words and threats, Ark and his comrades were still walking forward. At that moment, Ark said.
“Bring them.”
BRUK!
Along with Ark's words. Some figures were pushed forward. Some of them immediately fell into the muddy ground. There are also those that still stand like Crocodile.
Yep. What Ark had told him to show was the higher-ups from the Cursed Berserkers.
“It's Chairman! Don't tell me they're-“
“Your guess is right. The one who came to the headquarters of these Cursed Berserkers was the Sword of Sufferings. Previously launched attack failed total.”
Hearing the explanation, the guards looked towards the source of the voice. Looking at that figure, they looked incredulous.
“Mr Scorpio? Why do you look okay? What the hell is going on? Are you kidding me, Mr Scorpio?”
“Yes! This kind of joke is not funny at all. You'd better end this kind of joke, Mr. Scorpio.”
“...”
“You no longer need to call me Mr. Scorpio because I no longer have a relationship with the Cursed Berserkers.
This is not kidding at all. Of the invading forces, half were buried in the wild. Being composted or dug up by mutated animals.
The main force of the attacker had already collapsed. Even though you have a lot of it, your strength is clearly lacking. If you don't want anything bad to happen, better listen carefully.”
Hearing Scorpio's warning, everyone seemed nervous. They all gulped, not daring to retaliate at all.
“Gather everyone. Immediately announce the defeat of the Cursed Berserkers and let them just watch. Mr. Ark and Crocodile have made a deal.
If there is no violation, there is absolutely no need for bloodshed. Do you guys understand?”
Faced with Scorpio's question, the guards immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice. Just then, they glanced towards the weak-looking Crocodile. Standing with their hands and upper body tied, they can only walk on both feet.
Sensing their gazes, Crocodile stared back as he said.
“Just do what they say. Do not try to fight if you do not want a massacre.”
Hearing the confirmation from Crocodile, the guards nodded again. Those people became even more nervous than before. A moment later, they immediately left to spread the news throughout the headquarters.
***
A few hours just passed.
Ark and his army gathered a lot of supplies from the Cursed of Shadow. But strangely they did not take all the food stock. Instead, just take the ones that last long enough.
Instead, the Sword of Sufferings prajrit took out many strange items. Whether it is wood, stone, shells, and various other strange objects. Of course, not just any object but that is considered to have artistic value.
It's just that Ark doesn't care about the value of art at all. As long as that material was good enough, he would have his subordinates take the item.
As for the main course, Ark had them pick up herbs and strange fruits that Cursed Berserkers did not know of. The young man even had his subordinates pick up quite a number of living plants such as mutated blueberry trees that were transferred into pots.
Seeing how the Sword of Sufferings moved a lot of items made the members of the Cursed Berserkers, especially the higher-ups feel heartbroken.
Many people wanted to fight back, but were immediately stopped by the returning people.
After experiencing a desperate battle, they clearly knew the best option was to simply shut up and endure this feeling of being robbed. Otherwise, they end up just being compost or animal dung. At best, be a cold corpse.
So, the only option was just to bear with it!
“It seems that your struggles over the past few years have not been in vain. There are so many things you collect.
Since it only carries in limited quantities, we will take quality as opposed to quantity. Besides, are you sure only these items you have?”
Saying that, Ark turned his gaze to Crocodile and the higher-ups of the Cursed Berserkers. After grinding their teeth, those people ended up honestly telling them the special and considered valuable items they had personally stored.
After finishing the harvest from Crocodile and the other higher-ups, Ark nodded in satisfaction. Just wanting to stop, the young man remembered no less important things.
“Tell me, Crocodile. Where did you get that powerful poison? The poison was definitely not from a mixture of different types of poisons. So tell me where did you get it?”
Hearing Ark's remark, Crocodile was stunned with an expression as if saying ‘you didn't even let go of that sort of thing’ on his face.
Sighing deeply, Crocodile finally said.
“Follow me.”
Ark then followed Crocodile towards the backyard of the main Cursed Berserkers headquarters. The two of them walked quite far up to a small pond near the roots of a giant tree.
In the pond, there appeared quite a lot of lotuses with wide leaves.
In the middle of the pool, there appears a stone higher than the pool. What made Ark feel a bit strange was the figure that was on the rock.
There, there appeared a golden-yellow frog lying relaxed.
Really be quite human!
