At the certain place, Airi tilted her head seeing his Master and asked him.

Lazily turning his head, Arya asked her. ''Hmm? What is it?''

Airi furrowed her eyebrows and speaking with concern

Arya frowned at her but shrugged his shoulder ''No, it's nothing. It's just, I didn't get a single soldier yesterday.''

Arya stared at Airi for a second before shift his attention in front of him, his soldiers fighting against a tiger with long and sharp fangs, the Saber Tigers. 

They fight with a good formation and slowly cornered the monsters, they do it as if they doesn't need Arya in the fray. Which make him more bored. 

The one that improving isn't just Arya soldiers, somehow Airi perception is really sharp. She is able to detect Enemy and bloodlust. Even now, as she speaking with her master, half of her attention still moved toward the battles if they need helps. She is the one that has a good part to reveal an ambush and traps. With her nearby, they're able to win many dangerous battle with just 20 soldiers. But, what the important to Airi, is to able to see a change in her Master. When he feels Happy, Depresed, Sick, or anything that involved her master. 

Once, Airi revealed that Arya is having a cold when they're going for a mission, with her scolding the mission was pended for a moment.

Arya wonder, is he must happy or not. Having someone that know you that much. He shake his head,  and remember the yesterday event. When 4 of them arrived at the guild, there was only 150 soldiers left, with no other choice, Arya give his share soldiers to Alicia because she have a wanting looks in her eyes.

So, today with his 20 soldiers and Airi, they started another mission. Because the last subjugation monster always makes them in a dangerous position, this time Arya take a mission about some outlaw or bandit with the name 'Scarlet Wolf' in the south plain area.

Hearing a cheers in front of him, Arya smiled and stand up while patting his butt to remove the dust.

Airi approached while ask her concern. As far as they go, they only found a monster in this green plains.

''Hmm.. its say that they will appear in this area. Maybe we must find some cave?''

Airi furrowed her eyebrows.

''You see, they are Bandits. They must have a hidden place right? What do you think Martha?''

Seeing his soldiers coming, Arya turned toward Martha who jumped in surprise.  

''Y-yes! umm.. Isn't Captain must say that to Rana? Yes-yes.. please don't look at me like that Rana... This plain is quite wide, but when I was going this place with big sis 1 year ago, we find quite huge cave. Because its quite scary we run back to the safe wall.''

''Good, you still remember right?''

''Yes!''

Martha try to throw the question at Rana but the cold gaze that Rana give make Martha nod her head while showing the way. They walked straight and can see some wild goat-like monster. The monster have a goat head with 2 horn, huge body and strong leg. It was herbivore, but they are prideful monster. They didn't allow some intruder and attacking Arya group. The 3 monster rushing with their horn ready to crush.

''Wings raise your shields! Beaks prepare your position! Talons hold your fire!''

The moment the monster started to rush, Arya make an order. The Wings division, make an iron wall with their shields.

Seeing that the monster fasten their charge like saying 'Try to hold my rush, you stupid creature.'. The new division, Beaks is soldiers that using a long sword and dagger on their hands, a rope in their right waist and their speciality a brown bagpack on their hip, with only 4 people though. The twins, Lisa and Lina, and another two from different division. They standing close behind the shield wall and grip their weapons. The Talons division take some distance while holding their javelin on their shoulder, ready to launch.

''Wings, gets ready! .....Now, Divide and Pair.! Beaks, Slice!''

When the monster almost hit the wall, another order from Arya. The Wings began to spread and let the monster pass them, no, the monster lost their balance and crashed to the ground.

The reason is before they pass the shields, the 4 shadow with fast move slash the monster feet and make them lost the ability to run and then retreating. Yes, like Lisa and Lina, Arya make a suggestion to create new division. The new one will hit and cut the feet tendon to stop the enemy while the other attacking.

''Talons fire! Wings Charge!''

With the order, 8 Javelin launched and pierced the goat-like monster body. And the Wings division will finish them off.

''Good, Beaks, dismantle it.''

With the order the 2 people approaching the dead monster and using the dagger to skin and take the meats. Because it was too much for Lisa and Lina, the one with that task is another two. When Arya know that Martha can cook, he started to think. 'Hmm..isn't Martha can cook, we just finish some mission and back but what will happen if we are trapped somewhere?' So Arya make a order when they fighting against animal monsters they will take the meat and skin.

At first, they are confused. Why we must take the meat? Arya just giggling and see the troubled Airi, its seems she really know her master and sighed. Because they still didn't understand, Arya let Martha roast the meat and their doubt is gone.

I mean, meat! Who is doesn't like one? Because of that, his soldiers has another goal to increase their morale and spirit.

Now from two month, Arya have huge stock of meat and skin in his magic bag. He really glad that his 50 storage can stack the same type to 99. He is buying more spice and with the help from Rana they have a plant to eat and for flavour. After finishing the other goat-like monster with shining eyes they started to search for their main mission, the 'Crimson Wolf'.

Not long after, they stands at a big cave.

''Mm... I didn't expect that the cave will become this big.''

The entrance of the cave in this wide plains is quite huge, like a mouth of a dragon. It's wonder how a cave this big but its hidden well. Well, the location is behind in some hill so it's quite understanding.

Staring at the huge cave entrance will do nothing, so Arya turned his body to face his soldiers and smiled. ''We will go together.''

With Airi approval, they walk inside with caution while clench their weapons. If this is really the bandit nest, so they will need to move carefully, this place maybe have a trap or some pitfall. Carefully they find a left junction and approaching it.

''Huh, isn't this cave quite simple. I mean we just walking straight for 5 minute and just find left junction? Aren't normally there must have 3 or 4 ways?''

''Huh, this is suck. The hell with this cave, who is the one create this cave. This bastard didn't know the way to make it! Arenn't there must have 3 or 4 ways?''

''''Huh!?''''

When they arrived and going to turn left, Arya hears a sound that somehow same as his thought. They almost collided and standing each other in while staring in confusion.

In front of Arya was a bearded cool man in his 30-40 wearing a red light armor with the head of wolf in his right shoulder holding a long sword. Behind him 60 people with same light armor standing in daze while holding their own weapon. In Arya case is also same, standing in daze.

''Oi, boy. So you have the same thought.''

''Ahaha....yes, isn't this cave is really bad? Just straight and turn left? I bet that this is the way before the dead end?''

''Hahaha... good boy, this cave is crap... hahaha...''

''Hahahaha....''

They, Arya and the bearded man laughing at each other, leaving their dumdfounded subordinate.

''Haha....look at the entrance, they look majestic but the inside is shit.''

''Haha... agreed, its really crazy.''

''You are damn right kid, hahaha.....''

''Hahaha....''

''Haha...What is your name kid?''

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

''Ooh, Call me Arya, good sir. I am a Champione.''

''Good.. Am Amore, the leader of Crimson Wolf. Hahaha...''

''Hahaha.... You look like kind old-man, than that bloodthirst and mad bandit leader..hahaha..''

''Hahaha.... And you didn't look like that damn annoying and bastard kid either....hahahah....''

''''.......''''

They laughing while shaking hand and introduce themselves while keep laughing. It seems that they didn't notice, but they're subordinate already have wide eyes and mouth hanging. 'They are in front of you..!!!' They wanted to yell.

Before long, the laughter ended and silence surrounded the place.

''So, you are the bastard kid too?''

''So, you are the mad bandit leader?''

''''What are you looking at! Get in position!''''

When they finish their word in the same time, they already take a distance and make a battle stance. Looking at both of the leaders shouting the same orders, make their subordinate puzzled for a moment before taking the stance too. Its time to be serious!

''Huhuhu.... they're just a kids, slaughter them all!''

''All troops, defense formation!''

Another order on same time. The bandits rush at them and use their number to attack. While the Wings take the damage, Beaks and Talons showed their power. With some stab and slash, the bandit was fallen down one by one.

''Fall back, and regroup. Archer Fire!''

''Regroup, Wings raise your shield. Talons aim for the Archer.''

''Archer spread! All troops forward.''

''Prepare for impact!''

Order and order keep going, and the battle going more intense. The bandits have a good number and Arya group have a strong power. It's right that the bandits have more casualties but Arya group didn't have many stamina and started to be tired. In the mids of battle, the leaders having a match too.

''Haha...you are quite good for a bastard kid!''

''Haha...you are quite good for an old man too!''

Amore, the bandit leader slash aiming for Arya neck, but with a duck Arya able to evade and using Shield Bash to hit Amore in the chest but a sword suddenly appear in the way and the impact separated away.

''Regroup, Archer fire!''

''Spread and Charge!''

Another order before they going to clash. Using his spear, Arya use his Rapid Thrust and unleashed 4-5 stabing and aiming for the body. Amore using his sword and iron braclet to block the attack while using the sword to slash him 6 times. With a shield in hand, Arya able to block 5 times but the last attack with stabbing motion is heading his way. Seeing Arya unable to block in time, a evil grin appear on Amore face.

Suddenly a javelin flying and forced Amore to evade.

''Thanks, Airi.''

With a nod, Airi rushing toward the Wings toand help them. 'That's right. I am not alone! I have my soldiers and reliable Partners with me!''

''All troops regroup!''

With Arya Order, his soldiers surrounded him and make a defensive stance. The bandits have already regrouped themselves. When Arya looks his surrounding, the bandit only lost 8 of their people.

'What, the battles already 40 minute and they still have 52 left?'

When he see his soldiers, they have a cut injuries on all their body, even the Talons that should be safe at the back also have injuries. It was good news that he doesn't lose any of his soldiers. He really thinking to add more soldiers from now. Even his soldiers is strong, they have a limit.

While rotating his shoulder Amore said. ''Hahaha... you are strong boy!''

Arya smiled behind his shields and said ''Hahaha... you too old man!''

Finishing the staring contest, Amore lead the charge while shouting ''Lets finish this! Charge...!!''

''All troops Assault Formation! Charge!!''

With the shout of order, both side rushing each other. Arya lead the Wings Division and make a shield wall while keep the tip spear forward and with another spear that placed in their shoulder from Talons in behind they started to brace themselves. While gritted their teeth they crush against the charging bandits. A blood spurted from the injuries and some flying upward, when some spears stuck on the corpse, They unsheathe the sword and another melee began.

From behind, Beaks division able to slip and attacking the bandits back. Spear throw from Talons able to claims another life from the bandits.

Before long 20 Bandits already drop dead in the ground, leaving the other injured with bleeding.

''Hah..hah... you are strong old man..''

''Hah..hah... shut up kid, I know that.''

''Hey, Mr. Amore. I want ask you. What do you think of my skill?''

''What... Hm,you are good warrior.''

''Haha hah.. how about this, please drop your weapon and come with me.!'' When Arya straightens his back, he offered to Amore to join him.

There is silence as everybody opened their mouth with surprise, while Airi approaching with anger.

Amore still froze in his shocked expression and nodded at Airi ''Haha... miss over there is true, you know..''

''What? We need more talented soldiers you know''

Arya ignores the angry Airi for a moment and stare to Amore with a serious expression.

''Huhu... Huha... Muahahaha...Interesting !''

'

''Very well, I will accept.''

''B-boss!?''

''Come on guys, actually, I already sick with this job. Why did we have some interesting way?''

''Boss, we will come with you..''

''Alright kid, I will wait for you at the Central Guild!''

After say that, with a flash 40 bandits disappear. Leaving them alone in the cave.

A silence decending upon the cave, Airi sighed and stared at her master.

Arya giggled and opened the menu on his Anchore. ''Very very sure, lets me check.''

"Oh, there is no recruit panel here?" Arya blinked and wore a surprise expression.

Airi behind him sighed and speak while still tending the injuries.

"...."

*****

''Hmm.... I don't know that searching will become this hard..''

''Hmm... where is it..?''

Ignoring Airi, Arya keeps looking at the blue panel inside Center Guild, he wanted to find the ex-bandit buts didn't one.

''Urgh..it's frustrating, why did the cost for one barbarian is 500 'Point'? Expensive!''

Airi dead eyes appear beside Arya and moving closer, make Arya sweating.

''Ah, good job Airi!''

<.....>

When Arya sorts the search from the low cost, he finds one but the description is too short and weird.

[Red armored Bandit Leader. Cost : 20 'Point']

'Description, A former of bandit leader. Wearing red light armor and using a long sword.'

Arya stared at the desciption and sweating.

'What the hell with this description !?'

Airi beside him furrowed her eyebrows and pointed her finger and speak.

''Yes, isn't this Amore the leader of Crimson Wolf right?'' Arya nodded his head and then a update screen appeared.

[Updating.....]

[Amore, Leader from Crimson Wolf. Cost 10 'Point']

'Description : A former bandit leader. Once was the great and stronger leader that lead 200 bandit by himself to attack one of the castle from the Empire and win before his army repelled by siege weapon and cavalry unit. With his red attire and wolf head in his shoulder, he was quite famous. He was skilled swordman that able to withstand 2-3 Imperial Knights. He have a good achievement but because he was criminal, the cost is very low to compensate his sins.'

''......''

Airi stared blankly at the new description.

''W-whatever. Lets hire him.''

Attacking a castle and win? Moreover he able to fight Imperial Knights?

Imperial Knights is elite knight from the Empire and Kingdom. The Empire it self located in other place from the Kingdom. The Empire is dangerous place where the second and third year hunting. They use and have different equipment and strong soldier. To think this man is chased by cavalry unit and still alive.

After that, Arya started to search his other ex-bandits and found all 40 and make hi overall soldier is 60 soldier. Although he hires 40, he didn't even spend more than 100 'Point'.
