Shut up: You, Nymphomaniac Evil Sword

Chapter 107 - An Offer

Rutna, who was rescued by the old Zhao ran towards Chaow and started crying while hugging him.

" big brother .. sob.. sob.."

Chaow could only comfort her by patting her " it's ok.. it's ok now don't cry.."

Dror didn't know how to comfort little Dani who was in his hand. A lady from Old Zhao's group came forward and took little Dani from him.

Dror could feel that she was using spiritual sense in some different manner and was very good at comforting the kid.

Old Zhao and the rest of his group were looking at Dror in surprise.

The men whispered among themselves " Who is this young man as fast as the Lieutenant.."

Dror came forward and cupped his hand in a respectful manner " Thank you very much for the help.."

Old Zhao and his group where more surprised now.

" Young man, don't be polite. We had known both these kids for some time now. We would have protected them at any cost…"

old zhao replied while looking at the kids.

Chaow was comforting Rutna " it's ok … this is why I told you not to come here…"

" But.. but mothers medicine… sob sob.." Rutna was still trying to retort.

The rest were silent, but everyone else knew the situation of commoners in the base was not good.

Later Dror was led by old zhao to another area to talk.

" So tell me, young officer, what do you want with me?"

Dror knew that someone like Old Zhao didn't like beating around the bush, so he directly came to the topic

  " I wish to recruit you and your team from the Red Eagle, to be trainers for my company.."

old Zhao pondered a little and spoke 

" You must be the barbarian that everyone is talking about.

I am sorry that we  didn't recognize you immediately.

  We have stopped following the military news for a while now.

Young man I can't comply with your wishes, I have left the military for a good reason and even if I wanted I can't join you ...."

old Zhao revealed his left hand and left leg, both of which were mechanical.

Dror spoke " I know that a handicap like this is not something that will hold  back someone like you and I am not recruiting you to fight, but to train my soldiers…"

Old Zhao paused and gave a long sigh before replaying " I wouldn't give a reason if it was someone else. But since you helped in the rescue of the children I will say this.

I was also hot blooded like you once. I wanted revenge for the king  and for my comrades, so I went on a killing spree with my platoon. 

But in the end I had to pay a terrible price for it. 

I lost 82 of my men, 35 of them were young below the age of 25, some had only just got married the rest had their own family.

When we were ambushed they fought till their last breath, but what did it change.. nothing… It was then that I realized that it doesn't matter. 

All our achievements seemed nothing in front of their sacrifice. 

I led them to their death due to my anger and hatred.

I also realized the true strength of the Alliance government then, we were nothing before it.

I think it is better like this, I don't want to see my comrades go to death again like that, nor do I wish to train young men to send them to their death…"

Dror couldn't completely refute what old Zhao said but he spoke after a pause 

" old zhao, I won't refuse the fact that the Alliance government is too strong.

But you can also clearly see the current situation, kids are going to the dangerous mines.

  Common people all around the planet are suffering under the tyranny of the alliance government.

Situations in some of the outer villages are far worse. 

I am not asking you or anyone to sacrifice themselves, but don't we at least owe it to ourself to put up a fight against these injustice.

You have come to a compromise with the situation and that is exactly what the alliance government is intending for. 

They will use this as chains to bond you and your children forever as slaves.

I know that the pension and other help provided by the rebel army to dead soldiers' families is very limited.

Isn't that the reason why you and your comrades are still working so hard in these mines, so that you can provide a better living condition to the families of those 82 comrades that you lost.

Have you thought that even if you were to get them enough money to survive through , still they and their future children would remain slaves one way or the other.

I know I don't have to explain all this to you, as you would have already realized much of this…"

After a little pause Dror continued

" What I have for you is an offer. You and  your comrades have been struggling to help those 82 families.

I will resolve this matter for you, I still have 118 slots for my company. 

If you join me with your 18 comrades, I will provide you with 100 slots.

That means it would be like your 82 comrades who died in the battle are also working for me.

This is the special discretionary power of a young dragon major, I can use the fund allotted to the Company as I see fit. 

You can also be assured that I won't send any of my man to a suicide or extremly dangerous missions.

You will know our method once you join us and if you are still not satisfied you can quit anytime you want."

Even Though he had come to compromise with the situation, Old Zhao always had a struggle within his heart. 

He felt like he should do something to change the situation, but he had too much weight on his shoulder already.

But today he was given a chance to do something and put these weights on his shoulders down.

He remained silent for a while and then replied " let me discuss with my comrades, I will inform you later.."

When they left the mine dror was beaming with a smile. 

He knew Old Zhao and comrades would be joining him soon.

And as he imagined old zhao agreed to join the next day.

When Alexander and the rest found out about the offer that Dror made to the Old zhao to make him agree, they were speechless  for a while.

They didn't know whether this would be for the good or bad.

The news of old Zhao joining Dror's company made another big news in both the Earth base and in the King's court.

The newly formed young dragon company was provided with special barracks separated from the regular army camp.There was also a special office for them.

Alexander had already explained to Dror and the rest about his appointment as the Deputy Major and reasons associated with it.

Dror and the rest happily accepted this,  Alexander also felt glad that his comrades were open minded.

But what Alexander didn't know was that Dror was always looking for someone with good administrative and managerial skills, to do all the office work for him and that is exactly when Alexander presented himself.

By the time he realized this, Alexander was already drowned with all kinds of office work and related responsibility, and Dror was always cooped up in one of the special rooms in the new office building.

The room that Dror spent all his time in was nothing special other than being large, but if one entered it they will find that 75 % of the room was filled with books and the rest 25 % was small pathways to travel though this sea of books.

After being appointed as the Young  dragon major Dror had much greater authority and with the help of the commander, He was able to move lots of books from the ancient section of the library.

No one minded this much, as it was not any cultivation method or anything of much importance and  no one particularly read these ancient books in unknown languages.

Alexander also wanted to spend his time in this new library, but he never got any chance as  he was dumped with all kinds of duties.

But every evening there would be a meeting held discussing different matters related to the company and other important matters, at the office.

Along with Dror, Alexander, Levi, and Chaow, two more new faces started appearing in these meetings. 

One was old  Zhao while the other was a middle aged man called Mark, he was the new lieutenant in the company.

A young dragon company was supposed to include 3 platoons of a hundred soldiers and each platoon will include 10 squad of ten soldiers and each squad will include 2 fire teams of 5 men.

But Dror's company had only two platoons and even within them only 15 squads were real soldiers with warrior capabilities.

Mark was a low grade water elemental body and he had cultivated to the peak of the warrior realm.

He was a capable and loyal person, he had also served as a platoon leader making him the perfect fit for the job.

The second platoon was under old zhao's command, but this platoon mainly consisted of different experts that Dror had brought together.

Still the entire training of the soldier was under the supervision of old zhao and his old comrades. 

Even  Mark showed great respect to old zhao and received guidance from him in the training.

After hearing the praise about old Zhao's training from others, Dror had eagerly gone to watch it once.
