Clark was confused and perplexed by Emilys decision to na her rcenary group after his surna. The reason that she gave for making the decision, was even weirder to him.
What is going on in her head? He sighed again, recalling the reason why she nad it after him.
According to her, she nad it Pendragon because she did not want to run and manage it alone. She wanted him to be the leader. The reason for her wanting him to be the leader, she did not ntion.
Girls are really? He shook his head to dispel his random thoughts, before turning back to face her and the rcenaries.
Though shouting that youve created a rcenary organization was simple, officially starting it after registration was troublesoly tedious.
He was happy that he suddenly beca the leader of a rcenary group from nowhere, but he accepted it calmly only because he did not have to take care of it. She was still the default leader, who will take care of anything.
And the rcenary group was still only at its creation stage, the work to make it well known and high leveled alone was nerve cracking. He did not envy her, he pitied her.
After the first few rcenaries openly showed their eagerness to join the new rcenary group, the group now officially had its first 5 mbers.
Emily asked the other rcenaries to see if anyone was interested in being a mber. Though they all recognized and dreaded her transcendent strength, they were not ready to suddenly jump into a new rcenary group.
Who knew if it would collapse in a week? New rcenary groups not lasting a week was not rare news, among the rcenary circle.
They would rather go on with their slow but steady grind of being solo for advancent and money than to jump ships into unstable elents like a new rcenary group.
Due to this thought process, most of the remaining rcenaries declined her offer politely. Only one of the females among them later joined, after taking ti to think through it.
Though they declined her offer, they were still apprehensive of her strength. So they tried probing her, to see the probability of her allowing them to go safely with their lives.
Emily easily saw through their thoughts, but she didnt mind, she maintained the sa cool expression on her face.
After knowing the ones who were not on her side, she nodded before congratulating the few that joined her new rcenary group, despite it just being in its creation stage.
Though the cool expression remained on her face, she was actually already over the moon. This was originally just a random mission for her, she never expected to create a new rcenary group so suddenly, and even get 4 new mbers already.
A smile ca into her originally poker face for the first ti, dazzling the rcenaries, as she directed it at the first female rcenary who pledged her allegiance to her.
Jenny, congratulations on being my first follower. From today, youre my second in command in the new rcenary group. My partner here, Clark, will be the commander, while I will be the vice commander.
After saying this with a smile, she finally turned to face the other new rcenaries that just decided to co under her.
Jack, Tom, Dave, Becky, you all shall be the first upper echelons of the rcenary group. Congratulations.
Of the recruits, only Jack and Jenny were 1st rank high-grade rcenaries. The rest were still normal rcenaries, with no inkling of a breakthrough closeby in the new future.
Hearing her words, the rcenaries were slightly puzzled on her decision to make her partner the commander of the rcenary group, but they shrugged it off as this mysterious man had never shown his strength before them.
What if he was even stronger? He was just like a peaceful dangerous hermit to them. Well, they didnt care. If he was stronger than them, then theyll gladly accept him as their commander.
The first upper echelons and the basic hierarchy of the Pendragon rcenary group were already being ford by its founder, just on the first day of its creation.
Emily did not impose any strange orders on the rcenaries who declined her offer despite her strength superiority. Instead, she allowed them to go freely, which earned deep sighs of relief from the lucky rcenaries.
After thanking her, they packed their bags and equipnt before going. They were sure to never forget this womans face, who completely changed their perception of what it felt like to be a rcenary.
Seeing the other rcenaries go, she finally turned to lead her rcenaries away.
10 minutes later, they left the thick forest. After exchanging small conversations to know each others schedule, she finally parted from Clark to go back to the embassy of the rcenary Alliance.
She left the hired car for him to take, as she now had a company of 4 others to transport.
They would probably not see each other soon, as she planned to travel around with her new rcenary group after its registration, to complete missions to increase her level and that of the group.
Clark quickly bade her farewell, imprinted the faces of these rcenaries who joined her in his head and implant, before turning around to go.
Not long later, the hired car decelerated as he arrived at the luxurious Landmark airport. Despite already seeing it before, the sight of the airport still made him steal more than one glance at its surrounding to satisfy his craving.
Shortly after, he quickly boarded the Spartan line airplane again, before getting set to return to the Spartan republic.
It was already a few days since talks of his inauguration party started, his presence was now needed to progress further and finalize the already well laid out plans.
In the large Vatican City central airport, the original order was not being displayed today. A large gathering of soldiers and civilians alike stood orderly, like a battalion waiting for their commanders arrival.
The airport was extrely boisterous, as all corners were cramped up by the overwhelming number of people gathered together.
So of the civilians held up banners of different types, so reading; the first hero of Vatican is born, others reading; Clark Pendragon, our pride, the Vatican pride.
Brilliant smiles filled with accomplishnt and joy were on their faces, so even had expressions of relief as they waited patiently for the arrival of their leader to be.
Children stood beside their parents with anticipatory grins on their cheeky faces, making their chubby sweat-filled cheeks glow like diamonds as they wildly waved the banners that were given to them by their parents.
Currently, Clarks status in Vatican City was already at the exalted level, as him being the leader of the city would bring a lot of good. Most especially, it would bring a lot of opportunities for further developnt and growth.
A City having a soldier leader to guard its territory ant that it finally produced sothing worth considering by the Spartan governnt.
By having a leader, they would have more political power when vying for the yearly budget allocations to all territories of the republic. It would also bring more investors, as the rich in this era had a tendency of running after the strong and powerful.
It did not take long before the main protagonist that warranted this extrely luxurious welco finally ca out of the airplane. Clark was already inford of this arrangent beforehand, so he was prepared.
As soon as his foot touched the deck of the plane, ripples of emotions surged in all the Vatican citizens and soldiers. They looked at him with varying expressions of admiration, like he was a deity who was on the verge of descending.
In his new sky-blue suit, his well-proportioned body was directly enhanced to new heights of gorgeousness. He did not look like soone who just ca out from the forest, from a rcenary mission.
His new gold wristwatch glinted brightly under the glow of the afternoon Spartan sun. His coming down was like the return of a king, he seed like the prince in the ancient movie, coming to Arica.
After he finally ca down from the airplane, he smiled a bit before waving at the large number of people who stood before him with excited expressions on all their faces.
As his growth was just too rapid for his good, he was still extrely unfamiliar with dealing with such huge crowds that ca specially just to welco him.
His performance was directly from the ones he observed in movies, and the knowledge seed to have helped, as loud cheers imdiately followed on seeing him waving at them.
The Vatican soldiers who stood at the front made their stance more rigid before they all saluted in sync with solemn and respectful expressions on their faces.
As all these happened, the diplomatic leaders of the city finally ca forward to welco him specially.
Major Clark, welco back to Vatican City, your ancestral city of birth. It is a great honor for our city to birth an exceptional soldier like you
Clark paid little attention to the blabbering words of flatter which the diplomats bombarded him with, most of his attention was still on the civilians at the back who continued cheering him unrelentingly.
He felt like grinning on seeing this. He was no longer the nobody of yesterday, this reassurance always made him feel fulfilled.
His ultimate dream was to change and overthrow the tyrannical rule of the big 5 organizations, but his reform had to start from his ho first, or all his dream would just be fantasy.
Like the wise ones said, little drops of water make a mighty ocean. To overthrow the rule of the big 5, he had to lay the foundation by starting with his country.
And he was not even at the country level yet, he was still only at the city level.
He still had a long way to go, but the satisfaction from today was exactly the right motivation he needed to continue doing his best to break his limits and get more power, wealth, and authority.
