What Delta? Isn't it Operation Assara?

Chapter 259 Recruiting Soldiers

"Oh?" Hamk looked at Reiss, his eyes carrying a somewhat unfathomable meaning.

"Hmph, Hamk, don't even think about shaking me off and going to find Said alone."

Old Sai is not the same as before; he's no longer the poor hunter who needed our help to get by.

"He's all grown up now, he can turn his back on us like that!" Reis looked at Hamk and complained bitterly: "Said is now colluding with the GTI people. Last time in Longbow Valley, they launched a joint attack on Hamk's people. To cooperate with him, the GTI even used fighter jets and artillery."

"If you bring him in, he'll bring in the GTI people too. Then they'll have a huge advantage. Even if we fight to the death, how many gold bars will we get?"

"Heh—heh heh." Hamk, whose thoughts had been partially exposed by Reis and who also sensed the jealousy in Reis's words, laughed awkwardly: "It can't be that bad, Reis."

I don't think Saeed is that kind of person.

"Isn't that the kind of person you are? Huh?"

Do you know what Saeed did?

"This guy only knows three tricks: cherishing his reputation, betraying his brothers, and manipulating others to pull chestnuts out of the fire for him, and his damn ability to sway people's hearts!" Rhys said, becoming more and more heartbroken and angry as he spoke.

"Hmph, I made a pact with him to start an uprising. I set fire to the Longbow Valley, while Raven risked his life to set fire to Tide Prison."

He's gone completely, breaking all his previous promises and turning around to collude with other external forces. Yes, he's just like you, you son of a bitch!

We've managed to make him valuable for political maneuvering, and now GTI, along with other factions besides Hafk, are frantically trying to win him over.

"Hmph! That two-faced traitor." As Reis spoke, he watched as the few remaining Asara Guard soldiers in the Diamond Queen Hotel continued to curse "Said" to vent their dissatisfaction, and also included Hamk in their curses.

However, Reiss clearly ignored a lot of information that was unfavorable to him, portraying himself as a "perfect victim." For example, he claimed that the uprising was not at Saeed's behest, but that he himself had joined forces with Raven and Saeed for personal gain.

Furthermore, in the original storyline, he sold the large amount of supplies that Said gave him on the black market, which eventually ended up in GTI's hands. Said's side didn't even have enough supplies to get through the winter, while Reese ate and drank as usual, not caring about anything.

"Um, Reese, it's like this."

Look, things have come to this point, there's nothing we can do, right?

"Said is just a cut above the rest. He betrayed Asara, but he chose the right side and the right timing. So we have to accept our fate, right?" Hamk looked at Reis in front of him and sighed helplessly.

"The cargo ship that is about to pass through Ums harbor is carrying a large amount of gold and Dark Star fuel units, which are extremely valuable."

"Even if we only get a small portion, that's enough, isn't it?" Hamk looked at Reis and continued to persuade him.

"At this point, we need to get our facts straight, Reese," Hamk earnestly advised.

Reis shared the same concerns. If he were alone, it would be too easy for Said to double-cross him. He had to bring as many people as possible to the table.

The more people there are, the greater the cost of breaking the rules.

"Hmph, want to settle the score?"

"I've calculated it perfectly. If I go, I'll lose a brother; Qian Lao Sai will either take it all or share it with the GTI people. If I don't go, I won't lose anything." Reese stared with bloodshot eyes, breathing heavily.

"How about we include Prince Raven as well?" Hamk pondered Said's character for a moment and thought that if a former member of the royal family intervened, it should make Said think twice.

"Go to hell! Raven colluded with Hudson to massacre the villages downstream of the dam and tried to frame me. Now Old Cyrus is hunting him down the world!" Reese curled his lip, showing great disdain for Hamk's suggestion.

"Wrong, Reis, those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles."

If all else fails, we can arrange to meet with Said and try to get his opinion.

"Come on, Reese, let's make some money, it's not shameful."

Meanwhile, Zhao Yu was busy but happy.

"You guys are pretty good at recruiting, huh?" Two hundred newly recruited Asara Guard soldiers lined up in the eastern part of the administrative district. They were all recruited by several adjutants from villages near the dam and Longbow Valley.

It was only because Zhao Yu stopped them that the adjutants were able to recruit even more people.

Zhao Yu stood on the high ground and looked out.

The Asara Guard recruits quieted down as Zhao Yu did.

The brand-new collar rubbed against my neck, but no one scratched it.

All eyes were welded to the top of the container—that figure.

Someone secretly straightened their chest, the fabric taut against their back.

"This is Commander Saeed—"

"From now on, we will be Commander Saeed's soldiers."

As Zhao Yu paced on the shipping container, he was still thinking about the weapons and equipment for the two hundred new recruits of the Assara Guard.

The existence of the Asara Guard soldiers under his command is not without cost; everyone needs money for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, which is deducted from his account. Of course, the maintenance fee for a single person is very low, far less than the tax he receives daily from Bakshi.

However, equipping all two hundred people with level 4 helmets and armor at once would be a challenging task for Zhao Yu, as it would significantly reduce his inventory.

Moreover, what weapons to equip these new recruits of the Assara Guard was also a problem for Zhao Yu.

A murmur of conversation arose from the crowd and grew louder and louder.

"For Asara! For Said!" Yanlong shouted from the crowd.

"For Asara, for Said!"

With a roar from the dragon, the recruits below the stage erupted in a thunderous roar, causing Zhao Yu to stop thinking.

Before long, the cheers subsided. Zhao Yu jumped off the container. He was very stable. Said was already very resistant to falls, and with the addition of the Reis template, this height was naturally as easy as walking on flat ground.

"Hakim, Karim!" Zhao Yu called out.

"I'm here, boss."

"They're here! They're here!"

Hakim Ziani and Karim Ben Ali quickly squeezed through the crowd and came to Zhao Yu's side.

"I'll leave the training of the new recruits to you and my special guards. Let's make sure our brothers bleed less on the battlefield, understand?"

"I'll take care of the weapons and equipment. Have the veterans and my personal guards hand over their weapons to the new recruits; their equipment needs replacing too," Zhao Yu ordered.

"Understood, boss."

"Don't worry about it, boss!"
