"I must say it now. Those who join this operation will automatically get 20,000 worth of contribution points! No matter if it fails! And if the operation succeeds, there will be a bonus of 20,000 points again! Can you see it? This a fair compensation. As dangers and opportunities coexist! A total of 40,000 contribution points.
At that ti, y'all just need another 10,000 to buy the Tier 8 of your respective paths! If it's not fair, I don't know what is. To get sothing, you need to be ready to risk your life. I will say it again. There's no free pie in this world. You need to work for resources."
As he said this, David looked at everyone in a matter-of-fact tone. In his opinion, since they dare to walk this path. They have to be prepared to make sacrifices. To take a risk. After all, the path to power was filled with obstacles and requires courage and sacrifices.
When the scouts heard they would automatically get 20,000 even if the operations failed. Their eyes widened and threatened to reach their ears. However, what really moved them was they would obtain another 20k if it succeeded.
Greed and desire started to sprout in everyone's heart. In the face of benefits, they didn't dare to refuse easily. The fact that after the operation, they just needed another 10,000 contribution points for ascension was enough to move them.
They had already experienced first-hand how hard it was to earn points! It was just damn hard and painfully slow! Everyone's thoughts are aligned. The truth is, they knew that they wouldn't be able to refuse now. Who can endure missing out? If they refuse and others agree doesn't that an they would be left out? Their peers would leave them in the dust? The gaps would widen!
No one was willing to be left out by their batch! As everyone thought of this, their eyes beca fiery.
"I'll join this mission!"
" too." x20
Caleb, on the other hand, looked at everyone with a wary smile. Even Andre, Luna, Clifford, and their fellow mbers of the team one decided to join the operation. Suddenly, he saw Shu, Rozho, Kidd, and Kazuto staring at him.
M*ther*fck*r! Why are they looking at like that? I'm not the leader, alright? Caleb let out a consecutive of curses in his mind.
"What are you guys looking at?"
Shu shrugged in response and said.
"Well, we are waiting for your decision. Should we join the operation or not?"
"I'm not the leader..." Caleb looked at Shu speechlessly. Fucker! Why are they asking him if they would go!? Since when did they start to depend on him? This is bad! He wants to live a low-key life. If they beca reliant on him. What would others think? That he's actually a capable leader!?
"You are..." Rolling his eyes, Rozho interjects with a wide grin on his face. If Johan isn't the leader, who is? He doesn't want to follow instructions from others except him. In his opinion, only the strongest mbers should take the position. Not to ntion, Johan was a reliable person, unlike Rozho and Kidd. Shu was also qualified, but he still thinks that Johan was the better one. Thinking of this, Rozho beca even more sure. "It's an anonymous decision. Right, guys?"
"Fuck right!" Kidd responded with a smirk. "If you don't want to. You can give the position to , though."
"Fuck off! You? a leader?" With a snort, Kazuto gave Kidd a disdainful bombastic side-eye. "It should be Johan or Shu."
Why are you fucking making a decision for !? Helpless, Caleb knew he didn't have much choice. Since they decided to put his trust in him. Then, he could only do his best. Still, he plans to just lead them, not babysit them. If they dare to slack and not follow his instructions, then it's on them.
"So, do we join?" With a smile, Shu repeated his question.
Caleb grinned. "What do you think?"
...
Outside the grand gate of the city, a serene winter landscape unfolds. Heavy snowflakes tumble from the sky like delicate lace, creating a pristine, untouched carpet of white that stretches as far as the eye can see. The clouds above hang low, heavy with moisture, casting a soft, diffuse light over the kingdom's entrance.
The snow blankets the landscape, draping the trees in a shimring layer of white. Every branch and twig is adorned with a delicate frosting of frost, turning the familiar scenery into a magical wonderland. The city's walls, once imposing and formidable, now wear a gentler, softer deanor under the weight of the snow.
In front of the gate, there are almost five hundred people lined up donned in Scout uniforms. They are the team one to team nine that would participate in the mission called Operation: Reclaim the Wall of Rose. An unprecedented mission that the Scout Regint decided to undertake for the first ti after its founding! Of course, the scouts' veterans also participated.
This ti, the goal of the higher-ups on the Scout was to strengthen the reputation of the Scout and make the public trust them! They want to surpass the two regints in terms of achievents! What's the better way to do that? To reclaim what they lost! To expand the territory of the city.
The operation to reclaim the Wall of Rose has strategic significance for humanity. If it succeeded, the Scouts would beco the savior, and number one regint in no ti! After all, the resources of the city would increase by a hundred-fold. The quality of life of common people would also be affected. Not to ntion, it would give humanity hope! It was an intangible thing, but it was the most important!
"This operation is crucial. We will make history. We will be champions! So my soldiers, fight!! Don't let those damned Apokalips have their way! Fear them, we must not. Conquer your fears and fight! The wheels of history are about to turn again and we are the participants. Our nas might go down in history if we succeed and beco the heroes of his our... Or, we would die fighting! So my soldiers, fight!" A sixth-seat officer shouted. His voice was full of fighting spirit and his words seed to contain magic.
Yes, the operation was led by a sixth-seat officer of the scout and five seventh-seat scouts, an elite lineup organized by David himself.
"Fight!"x100
The scouts began to march forward with a hint of resolve in their eyes towards the vast expanse of snowy terrain ahead.
