"Are we really going to be given land when we work for this land?" Cedrik asked Selene when they were done with the cleaning.
They went back to Camp Bottom, to Nata's place. The group of Fire Stars walked behind Helen and her knights.
"really. So we all came here" Selene answered from the carriage that was walking next door, Cedrik riding his horse.
"Oh, as it turned out" Cedrik looked like he was thinking. Gawking views.
"While I haven't known Mr. Aksa very long and Mr. Nata, I don't think they're liars. Not to mention princess Lucia. I owe them twice" Selene seemed to tell the story.
"We also owe a debt of gratitude to their entourage" said Cedrik still seemed to be thinking.
"Well, I also want to have land to work on. And then a family" said a man from the train next to Selene's train.
"I also want to" said a woman next to Selene.
"Do you not want the Chairman?" Then Margaret asked.
Cedrik looked at Margaret who was riding beside him still with a slightly glaring gaze.
"What are you working as in this land, Mr Selene?" Shyam suddenly asked from inside the car behind Selene.
"I work still in a place that I like, and that I am proficient in the field. That is dealing with the animal problem for this land. Be it cattle or savage ones" replied Selene who seemed a little proud of herself.
"Well, your position is very important" replied Shyam.
"Yes, but it's not because I'm capable or expert. That's because this is new land. So there is no one who occupies the position" explained Selene who this time tried to down.
"Oh, that's right" Shyam patted his knee.
"That means they also do not have people who serve as supervisors and maintainers of the area" said the man next to Shyam who seemed busy with his equipment.
"really. Miss Helen will definitely be given the responsibility to take care of the protection of the city and the military" Margaret said this time.
"Oh, really. Means there is a possibility to be a permanent worker who gets a monthly income" women besides Selene also added.
"In short, can get a steady income and land to live on" the woman in the next horse carriage said again.
"You guys" Cedrik looked at the members with a cynical look.
Selene seemed to be trying to hold back the laughter of seeing the cohesiveness of the Fire Star members teasing their chairman. Although Selene only saw a glimpse, but it can be concluded that they are a familiar and solid group.
"good. Now try to tell me who agrees with the idea?" Said Cedrik later.
"Margaret agreed" Margaret said first.
"Shyam also agreed" Shyam said from inside Selene's carriage.
"Shuri also agreed" said Morra's girl next to Selene who appeared to be holding a tube of arrows on her back.
"Diana also agreed" said the woman Morra who was carrying the staff of a healer from the horse-drawn carriage next door.
"Thomas also agreed" said Morra's man who appeared to be a healer sitting next to Diana.
"Sigurd agreed" a Morra man riding next to Cedrik said as he leaned towards Cedrik while holding the shield on his back so as not to fall.
"You are" Cedrik pushed back Sigurd's face with his hand.
"Leon also agreed" said Morra's man, who was riding the same horse-drawn carriage as Shuri, holding a tube of arrows on his back.
"Billy agreed" said Morra's man in a Cedric-like outfit sitting next to Leon.
"Saul also agreed" said Morra's man who was sharpening his knife in the train next to Shyam.
"Axel also agreed" said Axel from his horse behind the two trains.
"You agree Ax?" Cedrik was surprised to see Axel's answer. Because he knows his friend that one does not care about the payment or establishment. Cedrik understood that Axel's initial goal as a brawler was because the man wanted to find adventure and challenge.
"I think working with both people will feel more exciting and challenging than just being an ordinary freelance fighter" Axel replied later.
"Ende also agreed" Ende said just before Cedrik wanted to ask him.
"You agree with Ende?" Cedrik also doesn't believe it. He also knew that the girl became a mercenary, not because of money and security.
"obvious. Because I can stay near Miss Lily" Ende explained later.
"Oh..."

Helen and her two knights, along with Selene and the Fire Star group, meet with Nata to report the results of the purge they have done.
"Report Mr. Nata, today's cleanup was successful" Helen said.
"Thank God then. What about Antelope Cinder?" Ask Nata later.
"They have twelve tails. And Mr. Selene managed to tame her twelfth" Helen explained.
"really? That's great, Mr. Selene. Then how are they now? Will they not interfere with our work?" Nata continued with a question to Selene this time.
"They will no longer interfere with our work or suddenly attack at the sight of humans, Mr. Nata" replied Selene who was seen still wanting to say something.
"Is there another problem, Mr. Selene?"
"The problem is their safety. What if they are attacked or hunted down. Because we can't keep them in cages like farm animals to protect them. It will have an effect on their horns so they cannot grow healthily. They have to live in the wild" Selene explained at length.
"Means we just need a cage whose shape and breadth are almost the same as the wild habitat, right?" Tanya Nata made sure.
"Do you want to build an artificial habitat? How big?" Selene asked with a face of disbelief but looked excited.
"As big as we can. Or maybe we can make a nature sanctuary for animals other than Antelope Cinder in the western region. Later try to ask Aksa which position is right to build it" said Nata who looks like for himself.
"Do you intend to create a habitat complete with their food chain?" Selene asked, which sounded more like hope.
"Like that roughly" Nata replied with a smile.

The Bintang Api group still stayed in Nata's tent to discuss the service agreement they would do. While Helen and her knights, along with Selene left the place after they finished giving a report.
"So I was talking to the other members, we were going to accept a service agreement with the land of Pharos, but..." Cedrik seemed hesitant to continue.
"Why Mr Cedrik? Is there anything unfavorable in the terms of the agreement? Or was there a problem in the first assignment today?" Asked Nata with a little worry.
"It's not so, I heard from Mr. Selene about coming to work at this place. Therefore, after thinking about it, the offer of service agreement becomes less profitable when compared with working to build this land. So, we all agreed to join Pharos' land. Do you still need a fighting union for this land, Mr Nata?"
"Well, it's nice to hear that. We are in desperate need of power from fighters like you. And it's true that we gave land to those who wanted to help build this land and wanted to be residents of the city that would start to be built"
"Thank God then. I'm relieved Mr. Nata accepted us"
"Oh, but I have to remind you of this at the beginning. That in this land you will be considered equal, we will not distinguish warriors and workers, fighters and peasants, people and nations, witches and magicians" said Nata then while staring at Ende when he mentioned his last sentence. While Ende only put on a pouting face in response.
"Well, that's even better. We can live more quietly" said Cedrik.
"Also, it's very likely that we'll be doing several jobs at once, but don't worry. The work will be paid accordingly. And it will be sought so that it is not far from the ability of each of us" explained Nata later.
"Who will complain if the reward is land" Shyam said from behind Cedrik.
"Yes, but it's an arid land. Many people even refuse when given for free" Nata said.
"I wouldn't believe the land would be arid for too long if there were you and Mr. Aksa here" Margaret replied quickly.
"True" some people approved of Margaret's remarks after they saw what was happening in this northern camp.
