With Allen’s help, the journey went smoothly and even managed to avoid countless dangerous creatures, until they finally reached Tanjay City.
A regint was stationed here, which ant that there were about 1500 soldiers in this military base.
During the journey, Allen and company beca even closer with the soldiers and gained their admiration. Monsters and beasts were repelled easily because of them and caused no casualty unlike when the soldiers did missions before.
At the sa ti, a closer look at these people allowed Allen having a much more intuitive understanding. There are both n and won in this group, they all seed young, and the oldest is only in his early forties while the youngest was at mid-twenties.
They were a fine bunch and open-minded unlike those soldiers in movies which appeared stern and discipline. Although they had experienced life and death battle as if they were just eating breakfast, these people do not look frightened, just their forehead is covered with sweat, showing tiredness and anxiety.
- Although that is pretty normal in this kind of world.
The only one that had a heavy expression is a girl in her twenties. It seed like she was a new addition to the team.

Finally, they have arrived at the military camp!
Every twenty ters, you can see dozens of heavily ard n wearing khaki colored uniforms being stationed. This ti, they wore stern faces like those in soldier movies. There’s also one who was tapping on his rifle in rhythm while surveying the surrounding.
Thirty to forty ters away from the camp were carcasses of monsters and beasts. All of them were filled with holes like chunks of cheese. There were also human corpses torn limbs by limbs and so even were soldiers.
Looking at the scene, every people in the group turned solemn as they trodden the path as if in a funeral. Nobody says anything and just carried on…
The military base was still a reassuring location despite being surrounded by all kinds of monsters and suffering from food shortages.
Unlike other places in Dumaguete City, it was crowded with people in front of the wired fence.
A lot of people gathered here, but since vision was restricted, none of them could estimate the size of the crowd. But judging from the sll in the air, there were at least more than a thousand people present.
[ Camp Leon Kilat ]
This was the na of this military camp stationed here in Tanjay City.
As soon as the group arrived at the camp, they were imdiately surrounded by several soldiers. So went to the trucks and assisted the civilians to co down and the other group greeted Major William.
Allen noticed that several soldiers seed to be looking at him strangely but he ignore it and walked around nonchalantly while hugging lightning in his arms. Behind him were Aileen, Alicia, and the newcor; Flor.
“Mister Allen…” A voice called out from behind.
Allen turned around and saw Major William.
“…Mister Allen, I still need to make a report so I’ll be going on ahead. If you need anything then just go the east building, I will be there.”
“Okay, no problem~”
“Well then, I’m truly grateful for saving and protecting us Mister Allen.” Major William bowed his head while smiling.
This scene shocked the other soldiers that their eyes went wide.
“No problem~” Allen shrugged his shoulders as if it was natural. He then turned around and continued walking towards the camp.
Looking at his back, Major William continued smiling before turning to his subordinates and issued so orders.

The scene was like any other evacuation center. There were many tents standing at the ground, there were also sleeping bags that looked like given by the soldiers.
There are people who are cooking using charcoals and woods, children running around playing, and people wearing heavy expressions.
Looking at this, Allen thought; the authorities seed to be doing their job~
There were doctors and nurses going around. There were no signs of violence and oppression. Although there were many soldiers walking around while carrying heavy firearms, all the civilians remained calm – albeit a bit anxious.
In the far corner were corpses lining around. There were families crying and wailing in front of so bodies and so were looking for their loved ones amidst the corpses.
“Allen, where are we going?” Aileen called out.
“…actually we're going to look for teacher Grace and see how she was faring here…”
“Ms. Grace?”
Ms. Grace Lim was Allen’s horoom teacher. Most of the people Allen found in the school, including Ms. Grace Lim decided to go to the evacuation center, hoping to find their families.
Although, whether they find them or not is another matter. There are very low chances of succeeding in finding them as they might have already been ... ...
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
“Ah right, I still didn’t tell you about the specifics of the organization right?”
Allen suddenly rembered sothing and turned around. He faced Aileen and the others.
“Specifics?”
“Yes. Actually, it’s very simple. [ Vivite Liberi ] won’t steal your freedom, aning you can go wherever you wanted to. That also goes the sa with your actions. As long as you don’t break any human morals, the organization will certainly help you.
As for the communications between mbers, Mia was already on that part. She will send soone to take so things from and at the sa ti deliver so things as well. Those things are needed for the group.
Anyway, rules of the organizations are absolute…you should always rember that.”
Aileen and Flor pricked their ears and listened attentively. Even Alicia who was following behind them was also listening.
“…breaking a rule ans you’re out of the organization and will be hunted by us…”
“Yes? Hunted?!” Hearing the word ‘Hunted’ that sounded very ominous, the girls listening were shocked.
“Yes, you will be hunted. The reason, simply because you betrayed the organization…” Allen nodded his head.
“This organization isn’t a ga. We won’t limit your actions but you need to obey these rules with your lives on the line. If you break it, there’s no friendship, or love one. Families ant nothing if you betrayed us… that’s just how it is.”
If sothing like that isn't being followed then there's no point in creating the organization. It would be like playing house then and would be taken lightly.
This isn't a ga!
“… …”
“First rule: Never betray humanity. The second rule; Never commit any inhuman cris. Murder, needless massacre, and et cetera.
Well, of course, there are exceptions. If you are being threatened or attacked, feel free to retaliate.
The organization will side with you even if it ant fighting against a country or the whole world.”
“… …”
“Third rule; when a mber was in danger and needed help, wherever you are, you needed to respond to the call.
The organization is your family and every mber is your brother and sister. You need to protect them no matter what happens.
That will also go the sa for you.
Fourth rule; you can’t tell anyone about the organization as well as cannot spread matters pertaining to the group on your own volition. Not even your family and friends. You will only reveal yourself to the other mbers.
Especially, you cannot take the organization in vain. Precisely speaking, never use our na in private affairs and not make wrongful use of the na in doing whatever you wanted. If found out, you will be punished.
The fifth rule; there are tis that the organization will give you so missions to take, obviously there are rewards corresponding to the danger of the mission. Normally, you have the right to refuse but there are missions that deed very important and you need to do it no matter what happens.”
“Missions? What kind of missions?” Flor asked.
“Hmm, let’s see. Anything goes actually, like assassination and subjugation of monsters. Of course, it’s not the normal kind of assassination. For example, a superhuman rampaging around, killing innocent people and terrorizing the populace. If the organization deed him/her as a pain, then you are tasked to hunt him/her down.”
Assassination. Aileen and Flor were both surprised for a mont.
The two of them couldn’t help but look at one another.
“Well, it doesn’t need to be superhuman though. There were also ordinary humans who think highly of themselves and were involved in inhumane cris such as; human trafficking, inhumane experints et cetera…
Anyway, the sixth rule: you are obliged to protect the organization whenever it was attacked or hard by anyone; including monsters or humans.
The seventh rule; when you are a mber of the organization, you aren’t allowed to join any other organizations, group or power countries. You are free while bearing the na of the organization.
There are exceptions, such as you needed to infiltrate a certain group. This will be under the organization’s orders and if it wasn’t and was only from your own personal judgnt, you need to report it the organization beforehand if not you will be seen as a traitor.
Eight rule; you can run around the whole world but at least once in a month, you need to make a report of your status. Failing to report ans sothing happened to you and you will be tracked down by the organization.
If it was found you did it intentionally, you will be sentenced for treason and will be captured for questioning.
Ninth rule; you can’t take anything or steal anything from the other mbers. If you found or acquired sothing good it’s yours, you don’t need to report it. In off chance soone stole sothing from you, like so groups or organization’s doing, the entire organization will help you take it back.
In addition, if you attack or fought soone or a group in the na of your own justice and needed assistance, the organization will not spare any effort and imdiately declare war. Obviously, if the justice you talk about was acceptable then it will be done.
The tenth and the last rule; sotis, the organization will ask for a eting and every mber is obliged to attend. If there’s no acceptable reason then you are needed to be there. In addition, if you wanted to remain unknown from the other mbers, you can wear masks or a disguise. The organization won’t forbid you.
Every individual wanted their own privacies~”
“… …”
Aileen and the others looked at Allen, who also looked back at them. “…these are the ten rules of the organization. They are absolute and you can’t break them…”
Aileen and Flor nodded showing that they had understood his words.
Wearing a wry smile, Allen continued, “Well, you don’t need to worry about anything. As an organization, we, the [ Vivite Liberi ] do not have distinctions between upper and lower ranks. The alliance does not have a leader, so it can’t force you to do anything you don’t want to.
Although, when sothing really bad, I an really, really, really bad and soone needs to act as a leader, the founder will be the one to do it… and that is . Mia could also take my place.”
“… …”
“… Anyway, normally the organization only had an Elders Assembly, and these people will not order the organization mbers. If they want a mber to do sothing, then they would first listen to the mber’s opinion on the matter. Though right now, we still don’t have an Elder’s assembly. When all of the things are properly managed, we will call for a vote as to who will be an Elder.
As for where and who decided the missions given, it was actually ca from the mbers of the organization.
You can also create a mission. Whether it was an assistance mission, subjugation or assassination, you can create any missions you wanted. As for the rewards, the creator of the mission will be the one giving it through the organization.
The organization will also give you points corresponding to the contribution you gave for [ Vivite Liberi ] as well as from the missions you completed. I can’t tell you what’s use are these points now but I will give you a heads up, these points will beco very valuable in the future, so work hard.”
Aileen nodded and asked, “Is there still anything?”
Aileen smiled and thought the organization was interesting.
It seed like a common rcenary guilds or adventurer guilds in novels and online gas. The things they did were similar, just that this organization was in a small scale and very organization-ish compared to guilds in gas.
Allen smiled slightly. “The organization is also an information network. If you want to know sothing, you can ask the other mbers about it and if you know anything, you need to share it to others.
The organization will also provide you with information and intelligence first, only if there’s lacking information can ask for the help of the other mbers.
We are a Family. The mont you entered the organization, you are already considered our brother and sister. Although there might be so conflict, it was not an evident but a probable. However, taking a brother's life is a grave sin and would be deed as the greatest sin. No matter what happens, Family helps each other...”
As Allen was talking while walking at the sa ti, suddenly,
“Hey!” A rough voice called out behind them.
