Chapter 231 - 230

V.28 

Red Line, The Crossing. Countless fortune seekers are here to earn credits. 

While others are there to train themselves like those adventurers and mercenaries groups Oda had created to train the Grand Army. 

Carnage and Fallen Angels are also there especially Fallen Angels, their presence alone inspired many new adventurers and mercenaries both. Even some soldiers looked up to them because many of their exploits are open for the public to see. 

As for Carnage, very few know of their names mainly because every mission and battles they participated in are away from anyone's eyes. 

Fenrir doesn't like being on spotlights, in fact the sisters have requested more than once for them to join the Fallen Angels but repeatedly denied by Fenrir, despite being sisters of Arc. Fenrir remains adamant about working in shadows. 

Of course, it'll be a different story if Oda gives him the order to join the Fallen Angels, but the Sisters don't want to force others as well. Even the fallen Angels or Luna herself, despite not wanting to be a public figure, agreed voluntarily because she likes the sisters and can't say no to them. 

Luna was close to Arc's sisters. Whenever she didn't have work, she would be spending her time with either Anna or Amy. 

As for Cosmos, he became the fallen Angels official mascot. 

In the Crossing, there was a certain pressure starting to build up, despite the Limited actions the superpowers are taking, and even the Ganesh are not taking any major action after the surprise attack. 

Everyone can feel the certain tension in the air. GFA, the Coalitions and Merchant Consortium, even the Mercenary Guild, are building up forces. The same can be said to the Ganesh as more new and powerful Ganesh can be seen once in a while.

Despite the continuous and small skirmishes happening between Ganesh and many independent forces. There's no sign of the Ganesh major forces taking any actions. Most skirmishes happened between small forces and Ganesh scouts. But anyone can tell it's only a matter of time when the great war will happen. 

Back in a certain Bar in one of the many planets, that's been converted into a supply base. Fenrir and his crew are having a drink after a successful battle against Ganesh. 

Over the past few days, they have become a regular in this bar. Many independent mercenaries and adventurers frequently go to this bar as well, and so it became a good source of information. The information which normally can't be found in the black market or in any online forum. 

That is because the information here is all personal experience being shared through drinks and such. 

Many of them are useless, but if you listen enough, you will find much relevant information like the frequency of Ganesh scouts or how many of them. And for Fenrir, it's a good source of information to find their new target. 

Because of their small size, Fenrir and his crew can't participate in any major battles. So he is looking for any information about independent Ganesh scouts or any sightings of Ganesh, especially those small forces. 

And in this bar they don't attract any unwanted attention despite being a beastlord. But in this bar where many different races come together to relax. Their appearance is not a big deal. At least there are those who attracted more attention than them. 

For example, those brutish races like Hothgars, similar to a beast in appearance, but that's where the similarities end. Hothgars are a very aggressive race. And their burly body is full of runes and tattoos, and even the female looks like a hulk with b.o.o.b.s and fur. 

They are very aggressive, sometimes one look is all it takes to start a fight. And another reason is Hothgars are mainly pirates, many infamous pirates are from the Hothgars race. 

But for some reason, Hothgars seem to stay away from Fenrir's Crew, in fact they are quite friendly to him, surprising even Fenrir. He has witnessed how aggressive they are. Like gangsters, many stay clear in their path, but of course many mercenaries and adventurers don't fear them either, hence a fight. Fortunately, the planet or many supply bases have their own rules. 

They can brawl all they want as long as they don't use any weapons and will pay for any damages made from their fights. 

In fact, those fights have become a source of entertainment for many. Gambling and bettings are made every time a fight or brawls happen. 

And the security in charge of the place doesn't bother with them as long as they don't cross the line. Otherwise, they would be banned from entering again or in much more serious cases, killed on the spot. 

"Fenrir my man, you're here good let's drink." Said the big male Hothgars. 

"Crow I thought you would be doing some hunting in the blue sector." Said Fenrir smiling. 

"We would be if not for those bastards occupying the place," said Crow. 

"Oh, that's interesting to make even the great Crow to back off, what kind of bastard are we talking about?" 

"Haha the Human Kind." Said Crow. 

"GFA?," Ask Fenrir curiously. 

It's true because of his Boss, humanities standing is on the rise, and many races and power would think twice to start a conflict with them. 

"Nah, they call themselves the Royal Empire or something. Those guys are quite aggressive and it's not wise to start a conflict with them since there's no profits in it." Said Crow. 

Fenrir nodded. But his brows are furrowed. He doesn't like those guys from the Royal Empire because his big Boss doesn't like them too. 

Those guys are throwing away human lives like some trash, mainly because their army is mostly made up of clones. Even GFA treated the drones better than how the Royal Empire treats the clones. 

In fact, GT has never traded with the Royal Empire. one reason is that before GT was founded. The Royal Empire was the Humanities top weapon manufacturer. 

Among the superpower belonging to Humanities, the Royal Empire is capable of fighting the Ganesh even without relying on GT's weapons. It's just that for every battle they have with Ganesh, the amount of human clones being killed is so much more than what the Ganesh are losing, yet despite that, they keep throwing away those clones' lives. 

"Yeah, those guys are assholes." Said Fenrir. 

"Hahaha, how right you are. I just don't understand why they choose the  blue sector to set up camp. It's very close to the front line and Ganesh and other dangerous elements are frequently seen in that place. Especially space beasts." Said Crow. 

"Well whatever it is it's not my business," said Fenrir, but despite saying that, he immediately relays that information to the Grand Army. 

If The Royal Empire is here, then Divine Cross religion would not be far from their heel. 

And true enough, as soon as Fenrir thought about it, a certain group of individuals came barging into the bar. 

The man leading the group looks around with a disdainful look in his eyes, wearing all white articles of clothing similar to those of the priest. With a golden Cross embroidered on both sleeves and a scepter in hand, he began shouting. 

"Rejoice sinners for you have been chosen by the Divine to work for us. Rejoice and repent for we offer salvation and peace in these Chaotic times." He gestures, and a young boy steps forward holding a huge scroll. The boy then unfurls it, revealing a recruitment notice. 

The people on the bar looked at it, scoffed off, and went back to drinking, no longer paying attention to the man in white. 

When he saw no one was paying attention to him anymore, the man snickered. He then looked around and saw Fenrir talking to Crow. 

He smiled and walked towards him. Fenrir noticed the man approaching but ignored it. Crow saw it too, and like Fenrir, he just ignores it and continues chatting with Fenrir. 

When the man was near the table of Fenrir and Crow. 

The people on the bar began to quiet down; some of them were looking at the man in white like an idiot. Of all the people to bother, he has chosen the most dangerous ones. 

Not to mention Crow, who was a Hothgar known for their aggressive and violent nature, the man next to him is even more so, just the fact that even Crow is being respectful of him. Some of them are aware of the achievements of that said individual. 

Some are waiting for a fight to happen, as they are already preparing to set up a betting table as soon as the fight started. 

While some, especially those new to the place, were curious why everyone went quiet when the man in white approached the two individuals. 

The Bar master just shakes his head while the barmaid just giggles, seemingly waiting for something exciting to happen. After all, for every brawl that occurred in the bar, they too would be compensated after the fight. 

Hmm, Fenrir looked up and saw the man looming over him with a smile on his face. 

"You need something?" Said Fenrir. 

The man smiles and says. "You're a beast lord aren't you?" 

Fenrir's expression remains the same, even though he wasn't really a beast lord but someone created by the system. His appearance and personality are very much like the beast lord after all, he was designed to lead them. 

Crow has question marks on his head. "Beast Lord? What's that? how come I never heard of that race. I thought he was one of the Fays," said Crow in his mind. 

At first, he wanted to teach this bastard a lesson for disturbing his chat with Fenrir, now he was curious about this man's background. As Hothgars, they were born with sharp instinct, and ever since he saw and met Fenrir, his intuition tells him how dangerous and strong he is, which is why he wanted to be friends with him. 

As a fighting Race, they adore the strong and disdain the weak. 

"What is it?" Said Fenrir. 

"Excellent, your race was born to serve us. As the divine willed it, from now on you will be my servant and bodyguard," said the man in white, smiling brightly. 

Fenrir's expression remains the same, and he didn't say anything. Fortunately, his crew is not with him, if not, this idiot would have been mauled to death. If Shaki is here, he would have been poisoned to death. 

"Are you done? I am not interested in your stupid Divine. Leave before I change my mind." Said Fenrir releasing some of his aura. 

Instantly the temperature in the bar goes down a few degrees, giving everyone quite a fright.
