Chapter 161: CH 161: The introductionDave had then stood from his position, his movements were fluid and deliberate, as he turned to face Jackie and the rest of the group, who were now standing back on their feet. "Reward these men awesomely," he said, his voice filled with conviction. "They did their jobs right. Despite seeing how outnumbered they are, they didn’t back away or give in. Instead, they decided to fight and defend against the base until reinforcement comes." As Dave spoke, a hint of a smile played on his lips, and his eyes sparkled with approval. "Also, if they want it, they can be promoted to whatever position they want," he continued. "But having them as the guards gives me assurance that we’re safe from any threat that might try to invade our faction in the future." The group bowed again, their voices rising in unison. "Thanks for your massive grace, great leader!" Their words were filled with reverence and gratitude, and Dave’s smile grew wider. "You guys flatter me," he said, his voice light and amused. "How is that massive grace? It’s just the truth of things. I only merely deliver justice to the matter." His words were laced with humility, and the group chuckled in response. Jackie stepped forward, a look of excitement on his face. "We’re glad you’re back, leader," he said. "There have been great discoveries in just the little time you left. I’ve got to learn a little more about the spaceships and how we could get them." His tone was filled with enthusiasm, and Dave’s eyes lit up with interest. "Unfortunately, I’ve got a more bigger news than yours," Dave said, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Wanna bet?" Both men laughed, their banter filling the air. As they chuckled, Jackie’s gaze fell on the group standing behind Dave. "But who are these people that came with you?" he asked, his curiosity piqued. Dave’s smile grew wider. "Ah, right, I haven’t introduced them to you," he said, his voice filled with anticipation. "These people here are beast tamers," Dave said, his hand sweeping across the group behind him. "I’m sure you must have seen the announcement from Howard," he continued, his eyes locked on Jackie’s. "Apart from your group, the merger group, there are also the beast tamer group. They are the second group I’ll be discovering after yours, and I’m still willing to gather the rest of the faction - all those having beasts as their primary powers." As Dave spoke, Peter and the rest of the group slid off their beasts, their movements fluid and synchronized. They walked forward, their footsteps quiet on the ground, until they stood before Jackie and the others. With a synchronized movement, they bowed, their hands pressed to their chests in a gesture of respect. "Greetings, fellow survivor, and faction member," Peter said, his voice filled with warmth. The others echoed his greeting, exchanging pleasantries with Jackie and his group in a similar manner. Jackie and his group had also bowed in a similar manner, exchanging pleasantries with their fellow faction member. The air was filled with the sound of murmured greetings and the rustle of clothes as the two groups interacted. Jackie’s face then broke into a warm smile as he responded, "It’s nice to have you here with us. I hope our alliance together brings greatness to this world." His words were met with nods and smiles from both groups, and the atmosphere was filled with a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose. Peter and Jackie exchanged warm smiles, their faces relaxed and friendly. Though, the same couldn’t be same for some of the members in Jackie’s group. Dave’s eyes sparkled with optimism as he broke the silence and spoke up. "Well, I guess this will be far more easier than I thought." His words hung in the air, unaware that the real challenges were only just beginning to unfold. Dave’s gaze swept across the group, and his hands gestured expansively. "Aside from that, I’d like to introduce some special people of mine," he said, his voice filled with warmth. Ella and Sun, standing at the back, stepped forward at Dave’s gesture, their movements elegant and poised. As they emerged from the crowd, Jackie’s eyes widened slightly, and he bowed low, a gesture of respect. "You’re welcome to the merger faction, miladies," he said, his voice smooth and courteous. "I hope your journey wasn’t so stressful." Ella and Sun smiled, their faces radiant, as they acknowledged Jackie’s greeting. With the introductions complete, Dave nodded, his expression purposeful. "Alright, now that the introduction is done, let’s head in," he said, his voice firm. "I have a lot of tasks to do today." Jackie’s face nodded in agreement. "Sure, leader," he replied, his voice crisp. His gaze then swept across the group as he spoke up, his voice carrying across the landscape. "Alright everyone, let’s head in." The words sparked movement, and the group began to flow towards the base, their footsteps echoing through the air as they made their way back to the heart of the merger faction. As Dave, Peter, and the rest of the beast tamers prepared to head into the base, they decided to take their beasts with them. After all, there wasn’t a more suitable place to put them, except perhaps sending them off to hunt in the nearest forest. But since the merger faction was nestled right in the middle of the forest, taking the beasts along with them didn’t seem like a bad idea. In fact, it might even serve as a deterrent to any beasts that might be lurking nearby, thinking of attacking the base. As they rode in on their majestic mounts, the people around them couldn’t help but stare. Their eyes were drawn to the beasts, their scales glinting in the light, and the confident way the riders sat atop them. Whispers and murmurs spread through the crowd, speculation and curiosity etched on every face. Who were these people, and how did they manage to tame such powerful creatures? Just then, the announcer beside Jackie stepped forward, his voice booming across the landscape. "The leader has arrived!" he shouted, his words carrying far and wide. The announcement seemed to spark a sense of excitement and curiosity, and the atmosphere was filled with a sense of expectation.
