"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 time, 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 something, 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 mean 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 became fiery.
"I'll join this mission!"
"Me too." x20+
Caleb, on the other hand, looked at everyone with a wary smile. Even Andre, Luna, Clifford, and their fellow members of the team one decided to join the operation. Suddenly, he saw Shu, Rozho, Kidd, and Kazuto staring at him.
...
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 shimmering 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 demeanor 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 Regiment decided to undertake for the first time after its founding! Of course, the scouts' veterans also participated.
This time, 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 regiments in terms of achievements! 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 become the savior, and number one regiment in no time! 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 mention, 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 names might go down in history if we succeed and become 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 seemed 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.
