[Do you want to accept this system mission?]
Rex was left completely flabbergasted.
Due to his increasing need for skill points and the other rewards from his system, he was already drooling over the little rewards that were offered by the first mission that was triggered by the wealthy merchant, Maximo.
Because of that, he was bold enough to even entertain the thought of going against the dangerous criminal gang along with only 1 helper.
All these were because he wanted some skill points. Now, Maximo proved his desperation to get his son back as he pulled all stops to assemble an elite rescue team, now Rex received a new mission to exterminate the criminal gang.
Rex already made up his mind to do good, exterminating a slave-trading criminal gang was definitely good but what better feeling than getting overpaid for doing good? There was none.
Rex was thrilled. "Hell yeah, I accept!"
[To accept a faction mission, you need to join the mentioned faction!]
[Do you want to join the faction of the 3 Bowls Merchant Trading Company?]
Rex was confused at first on seeing this but once he asked his system, he got his explanation. By joining a faction, they became tied to one boat.
The benefits included increased favorability with the said faction, access to benefits that were only available to members of the trading company, and a lot of other minor benefits that when combined amounted to a lot.
As for the disadvantages, well, the major disadvantages were that they shared each other's troubles and enemies.
If he joined the trading company's faction, their enemies would become his enemies, and his enemies would become their enemies.
The rippling consequences of this decision were much but Rex did not overcomplicate things and think too much about it, all he wanted now was the rewards of this faction mission and that was enough to persuade him to join.
[You have joined a new faction: 3 Bowls Merchant Trading Company!]
[Rating: 1 star.]
[Growth Potential: 3 stars.]
[You have accepted the faction series mission: Eradication of the Desert Cowboy Gang!]
Once Rex accepted Maximo's offer, Aragorn did not hesitate as he also accepted. Just like Rex, the danger was what previously deterred him.
Like Rex, he hated evil and the Desert Cowboy Gang, and that was why he hunted them with his whole life and energy. Now that an opportunity came to eradicate this criminal gang and get paid in the process for it, he did not hesitate.
Maximo heaved a huge sigh of relief as he could feel his favorability of these 2 powerful mystic warriors already rising due to their decision.
With the both of them in, the ultimate elite rescue team that Maximo hoped for was finally organized. All 5 Intermediate mystic warriors that Maximo already assembled walked forward to meet their 2 new teammates.
"Hi, my name is Gilbert but most people call me Eagle Eye". A black man, one of the 5 came forward to shake hands with Aragorn. "I am a Sniper, nice to finally meet you, Blood Gunner".
"The pleasure is mine". Aragorn smiled.
"My name is Sophia, I am a Tiajutsu expert". A blonde-haired slim lady came forward to meet the 2 new additions as she introduced herself.
"My name is Goro, I am a Shapeshifting and Tiajutsu expert". A massive bald-head man shook both newcomers' hands with an unsmiling face.
"My name is Cain, Pain's brother".
"…"
Rex and Aragorn speechlessly looked at the funky-styled red hair youth. "Nice to meet you too".
"I am Tim, I believe that you know who I am, Blood Gunner".
Aragorn smiled as he exchanged handshakes with this fierce middle-aged warrior. "Who does not know the Lord of earthquakes?"
With a smile, Aragorn turned and led the 6 warriors into his workshop. It was time for planning, there was no further time to waste any longer.
…
The 5 warriors that Maximo assembled were all cream of the top.
There were 2 Intermediate mystic warriors who guarded the Dragon Horn village all year round, but their only job was guarding the village. Though Maximo tried, they refused to leave the village to go rescue his son.
This was why Maximo set his eyes out, and he did not just go out, he set his eyes on the best that were available in the Intermediate warrior realm.
The best that he could find was Tim, the Lord of Earthquakes. With the Blood Gunner joining the entourage, his anxious heart finally got to see some relief.
Once they entered the workshop, the short black-hair middle-aged Tim took center stage. "To rescue Maxime, we have to move in swift and fast".
"Our main mission is to exterminate the whole Desert Cowboy Gang and we already have a battalion ready in place for that. The real use of this elite team is to infiltrate swiftly to get the boy out before the chaos begins".
"After the boy is safe, we can finally go all out to exterminate the criminals".
"Most of you here have extensive knowledge of who we are about to go up against, so I won't go into many details".
"The Cowboys have many bases, but it is common knowledge that they store all their captured children in their main base until its time to sell them".
"From the time that Maxime was taken, it is over 24 hours already and so it's safe to assume that he is already inside the main base with the other slaves".
"Our goal is to get in there as silently as possible without being discovered, get the boy and escape, then we give the signal to start the attack".
"We have 10 unique basic mystic warriors in the elite team, most are tech experts and they can help us in our quest of smooth entry inside the main base of the Cowboys without alerting Pain".
"Are we up for this?"
"Yes".
"I think so".
As the warriors in the team answered barring Rex and Aragorn, Tim finally turned to face them as he asked the ultimate question. "So, who will be the team leader of this elite team?"
All eyes except Rex's instantly turned towards Aragorn.
Aragorn coughed. "Ahem, I think the Lord of Earthquakes will be more befitting of that role, I am more fit to be the supportive firepower".
"Then so shall it be, I am the team leader of this operation".
"Listen to my orders and our mission will be completed effortlessly".
"Let us leave".
"Wait". Aragorn stopped them before they could leave completely as he grinned. "I am a Mechanic remember; I have my mount for the main warriors of the team".
…
A minute later, a massive truck drove out of the workshop with speed.
