Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer
Chapter 1166: Joining as Mercenary"I agree to your terms. No team, no usage of liquid energy cells or whatever you call them and you have to seal yourself." Noah said it straight.
She knew that Sam is not bluffing. If they really didn't agree now, he would definitely select the names on the list and he would throw all their work into sewers.
Kumar looked at her with a bit of surprise, he didn't expect that she would agree that easily. In fact, he thought that she would be the last one to agree with Sam. After all, as far as he knew, she always compared herself and competed with Sam. He knew that better than anyone. But after thinking a bit, he felt that this is the most direct and fair competition they could get at the moment.
"I agree too." He spoke as soon as these thoughts crossed his mind.
"Me too." Donner also said and became silent once again.
"I don't have a problem," Akhil said casually and everyone looked at Dayus.
He gritted his teeth and looked at Sam with hateful eyes. He really wants to rip Sam's smug face apart, but he knew he couldn't do it. Not at the moment. This is definitely not the time.
He could only helplessly nod and agree.
After that was over, Noah stood spoke up.
"Now, that we got that out of our way. Let us go through some rules. We are seven people. We will divide ourselves into two groups. A group of four and a group of three.
One group acts from the side of the Myriad beast sect and they will attack the Fiend Tribe. The other group does the opposite of the first group.
So, let us get on with the groups."
Nobody spoke up. Everyone just exchanged glances.
"I want to be in a group with Donner, Akhil, and Arkiv." Dayus finally spoke up seeing that no one talked.
Everyone looked at him weirdly.
"I don't have any problem with being in a group with you. But if by any chance you want to fucking order me around. I will shove my staff up your asshole. If you are okay with that, I will join." Akhil said as he gave his staff a spin with a grin on his face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDayus' expression froze at Akhil's words and he even got a mental image and what would happen. He couldn't help but shudder a bit and say.
"I am okay."
Akhil just shrugged and left it at that. Donner looked at Sam once and then turned to Dayus before nodding. He knew he couldn't be in a group with Sam. He would have to be constantly on guard if he did that.
Dayus looked at Arkiv. He is afraid that Arkiv wouldn't agree, but to his surprise, he agreed with a shrug.
He was finally relieved. There is a reason why he asked for those three. He cannot be in a group with Sam. At the same time, Kumar and Noah are a bit pissed at him, because he overrode their plan and made implemented his own which didn't work as effectively. They wouldn't listen to his opinion much less let him lead the group.
And he didn't want Arkiv to be with Sam which would strengthen their alliance and also act as a huge advantage with them working together. They would get more loot from the two organizations.
And he also doesn't want Akhil to form an alliance with Sam which is more likely to happen how both of them deal with things.
Dayus thought this through. But what he doesn't know is that he is just overthinking.
"Now, that the groups are formed. We are going to work according to that. Dayus and the group will be working from the Myriad beast sect. Since Akhil already revealed himself to be working for them, it would be impossible to shift.
Me, Kumar, and Sam would work from the Fiend tribe's side.
One more thing, even though we formed groups, you guys can either work together or you can act separately, but just don't mess with other's plans."
Everybody nodded. But Noah is not done. She continued with her tasks.
"The Myriad Beast sect's group's goal is to destroy all the resource points as well as kill all the personnel of the fiend tribe on this planet. We have fifteen days to do that. The Fiend tribe's group, which means my group will deal with the resource points and the personnel of the Myriad beast sect in the same time period.
We will be meeting back here after fifteen days.
Do not let your identities slip away and we should not select the names of the organization in the list until we entered the last phase of the plans.
Any resources you get from the loot are yours individually. If you have any pre-arranged partnership, you can act according to that.
Finally, we cannot use any external help. We cannot hire mercenaries, use the private teams, and in the case of Sam, his toys are excessively destructive. If you all got what I said, we can leave right now."
With that, the meeting is over. Sam said goodbye to Arkiv and left the valley along with Kumar and Noah.
They went out on Sky.
"So, did you guys tie a knot or something?" Sam asked as he started drinking some wine and gave them some.
"NO WAY."
"WITH HIM?" Both of them denied and in fact a bit over. Sam looked at their blushing faces and couldn't help but smirk.
"So, why are you guys acting together?"
"We joined a sect together. That is it." Noah said quickly as if Sam would think too much into it.
He just smiled and changed the topic.
"So, where are we going first? Do you have a plan in mind?"
"Before you came in, we wanted to go to the Fiend tribe's Water Crystal city. All this while, we took some small missions, and sometimes, we even acted on our own. But now we wanted to join some mercenary army the fiend tribe is assembling.
It is happening in that city and the recruitment is tomorrow. Only a select few are allowed to enter.
Let's go there and join in before we do anything else. This way, we could get more information and also keep a close eye on any possible changes in the war if we perform well."
"Okay, let's go there."
Sam said and they spent the rest of the night traveling.
The Water Crystal city is similar to the first city Sam and his team visited when they arrived on this planet.
It has a large stream nearby and it is full of water crystals that are useful for making weapons or even increasing the elemental energy of the water.
The crystals gathered in the water could be used for breeding water elemental creatures. In fact, some low-level crystals would be sent to the Marsh village from this point.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe next morning, the three of them arrived near the city and walked from there.
At the city gate, the guard looked at them and asked.
"Purpose of the Visit?"
"We heard there are new work opportunities here," Kumar replied calmly and showed a special token to the guard who nodded his head before saying.
"You might want to go to the River bay restaurant. There are many people getting work there. Ask for the private room 1500"
The three of them nodded and went to the restaurant and asked for a private room.
The attendant nodded led them towards the private room in the corner.
After the private room was closed the wall on the side opened up and a set of stairs leading downwards appeared.
The three of them exchanged a glance before walking downwards and soon, they reached a large underground room that almost looked like a banquet hall.
There are many stone tables and many people are sitting around them looking towards the stage occasionally while making small talk.
They looked around and finally sat down at an empty table in a corner and waited for the event to begin.
Soon a female fiend with completely dark black skin and red eyes came onto the stage and said.
"Before the event starts, I want all of you guys to place the invitation token on your table. For each token, you can only have four people. Any more than that is unacceptable."
Kumar took out the token he showed to the guard earlier and placed it on the table.
A bunch of fiends with different skin tones came out and went to the tables. They placed a drop if the blood on the tokens and it turned into red smoke instantly.
Only one table has black smoke instead of red and the fiends immediately made a move against the four of them and killed them.
After that, the dark fiend on the stage spoke once again.
"Now, that we got the pesky pests out of here. Let us get down to business."
