Chapter 293: First Camp & Recruits
The first to bloody their hands for the night were Tianlong Shui, Tianlong Huo and the two foreign looking twins.
They had the best stealth techniques of the group, and were the most appropriate to take down the people on the watchtowers.
Even thought there were 3 people per watchtower, they were able to slit their throats in seconds without being noticed.
That was the signal for the other to continue, and it was time for Tianlong Yue, Tianlong Gang, and Lu Bing, and Tianlong Jing Shen duos to take down the communication tents.
There were 4 people on each of them, looking at the area signals, that had been taken out by Tianlong Gang from the beginning.
With the training he had gotten from Yang Xiu, Tianlong Gang was now a more than well prepared, technical guy, with amazing pirating skills.
Turning of those signals was a piece of cake for him. Which brought them here, to just take the lives of the people inside that were looking at repeating data.
Without much problem, all 8 people inside the communications tents were dead in a breath times. Opening the way for the two left shadows to slaughter the guards.
Tianlong Lu and Tianlong Ying Yan were really young kids, but the training and this place had made them terrifying. They would follow Tianlong Yun's orders to the letter.
Almost as if a breeze was passing through the area, the bodies of the guards fell to the ground, with a red line through their neck.
It seemed really unbelievable and impossible to happen, but it did. And the duo didn't seem to be disturbed in the least by this scene in front of them.
As a matter of fact both of them, just treated it as completely normal, and run after their next duty. Since the security was taken care of it was time for chaos.
At that moment, Tianlong Shui made the sign for the slaves to join the attack. The selection started from here, it was time to find the usable ones.
Most of the slaves were afraid, they didn't want to be part of this. Perhaps they wanted a better and peaceful life, they never had an opportunity to chose.
And now they had two options in front of them that they wish they didn't. Either live in glory or die in a slow and lonely way.
But while some were frozen still by their fear, there were a few who just wanted to fight, and give it a try, perhaps this was their lucky shot.
Perhaps from today onwards their lives would change for better. There was no goodness in the world they lived.
Nobody would show up and save them, their only chance was to find or make an opportunity for themselves.
That's why they jumped forward like hungry lions, finding food after a long period of not eating anything.
To take more courage for themselves they started shouting like demons of the night. Their screams and shouting woke up the campers with fear and terror.
While the camp was thrown in chaos, with people fighting and killing on both sides, the leader and his underlings were all woken up to a cold blade through their throat.
In a short time, all the leaders, or the people who had abilities to be a leader were killed with a slit on their throat.
This made the camp fall into utter chaos, and everyone caring only for their lives, but at this time Tianlong Shui and the others were looking at the chaos with interest.
To them more than an attack on the group this was a test for the slaves, and the ones they would start training and teaching cultivation to.
So while two or three of them were sweeping the place clean from diamonds and anything of value, the rest were watching the brawl inside the camp.
They already had a few prospects but only the end of this would show the truly worthy ones. At the moment there were 32 slaves fighting 57 enemy soldiers.
While the numbers were against them, they had the help of the surprise attack together with the chaos, and terror created.
While the barracks of the slaves of the camp were all closed, but one could hear screams and shouting from them too.
It was like they were crying and lamenting their fate to their compatriots, which were really concentrated at the brawl at the moment.
None of them dared to take his attention away even for a small moment. They had already bit the bullet, so now they had to make sure they survived.
It took some time for the fighting to finally end, with the slaves victory. While the camp soldiers had the numbers, the slaves were on a high.
All of them were fighting for survival and a chance for a life out of this damned place, even though only 7 of them were able to make it.
While the number seemed really low, the fact that they were able to make was in and of itself a big miracle.
Looking at the remaining ones, there were 5 men and 2 women. While they looked a bit rough, they were all almost boned skinny.
But there was determination and power in their eyes, they were determined to take this opportunity that was being given to them.
Looking at their faces, Tianlong Shui and the others could notice this really easily. But once again Tianlong Shui did the talking,
Tianlong Shui:" From now on, you will be part of our group. From today you will be one of us, and we will start training you and teaching you a lot of things.
Including a way to become stronger, this one night was enough to make you a part of this group, but if you want to stay you will have to keep surviving and working harder.
Remember one thing, no one is going to get special treatment, unless he deserves it. You know better than me that this is a dog eats dog world.
So from now on, you will have to fight for yourself and your future. We are only giving you an opportunity to do that.
We aren't giving this opportunity for free though, what we ask in return is your loyalty. Not to us, but to our leader, and Patriarch Tianlong Yun, and our Clan.
Think before you answer, because there is no going back. You have time until we leave the camp."
Saying that she left them on their own, and together with the group they went to open the other slaves barracks, and told them that they were going to be tested.
If they passed the test, then they had an opportunity for a different kind of life. But the test was always bloody, they could ask the one witnessing it, if they wanted.
They had a choice to make though, they could either come with them and try the test or stay here behind, and do whatever they wanted.
At the end it was the time for the cowards that didn't dare to walk forward and fight. Tianlong Shui and the others already had a bad impression of them.
While killing them wasn't difficult, they didn't want to sully their hands with unnecessary blood. So looking at them with clear despise in her face Tianlong Shui said,
Tianlong Shui:" To tell you the truth you are like coward ants in front of my eyes right now. But don't worry I won't kill you, I will give you one more choice.
Either come with us and try your resolve once again, or you can stay here and do whatever you want. You have time until we leave, those who want to try have to come with us."
In an hour, Tianlong Shui and the group had swept the place clean of diamonds and the things of big value, and also taken their fair share of food and water.
It was finally the time that all of the people in there made their decision. While staying here seemed like a beautiful paradise at first, the truth was that it was hell itself.
The reason was simple after all the noises and smoke coming out of this place, there were sure to be a lot of scout groups coming here to find out what happened.
So while this was a test of greed, it was also a test of wisdom. They didn't need stupid people who couldn't even think beyond the present.
They needed intelligent, and talented people that with training and teaching could become powerful assets for their Master, the Patriarch Tianlong Yun.
Preparing everything, when they were about to leave, Tianlong Shui got in front of them, and was looking at them carefully to learn their decision.
From the first seven, six of them accepted the offer, 4 men and the 2 women, the other guy didn't. He most probably thought to be the leader of the left-overs.
Some people would better prefer to be the head of a rat, than the tail of a dragon.
From the slaves that got out of the barracks, only 15 people decided to follow them, the rest wanted to stay here. They were free, what more could they ask for.
As for the cowards group there was only one to come out, a skinny looking girl, who to be honest looked more like a boy than a girl, especially with her skinny body.
The numbers were a bit disappointing, but this didn't seem to bother them. After all, this was just the beginning, soon they would be the terror of the whole area.
While recruiting quality soldiers for their Master. With these thoughts in mind, they welcomed the people that decided to be with them, and left the place in the cars.
Seeing them truly deliver with their words, the people left behind felt really happy, and relieved. To them it was like a second birth, they were finally free.
But before they could celebrate their freedom, the remaining guy of the 7, got in front of them and said,
Guy:" While we have gained freedom and we should celebrate about it. We can't just celebrate, firstly we need to select a leader and a clear structure.
Otherwise we are doomed"
