Master Of None

Chapter 2787: 2787. Squads Up

”Your groups will be made to balance one another. You are not going to remain a squadron of archers, a squadron of healers, a squadron of warriors and so on. You will be mixed to match an adventurous balanced party to ensure you protect those you are assigned to. The threats in a continent entirely full of monsters will present threats that are not all the same, this will allow the best chances to survive and explore the area.”

Looking around, Walker also saw the various aquatic members of the teams. ”As you see, there is a two stage expedition. Half are going to be searching the underwater aspects of the land to discover the lost magic towers, islands, and land in general. The other half will continue on to the larger continent that is entirely land to do the same.”

”The information in the packets you have is your research for the night. Read through and find your name. Read the associated tasks. Some of you will be protecting the flying ships and ocean ships. Either or both will be around at all times. Remember that they are your safe haven, camps will not be built right away until we determine safety and long term potential.”

”As you know, once we do have a proper land camp, we will have the rune carvers and crafters condense for the most part to build a teleportation formation. The formation will be a new and improved version that should allow us to begin travel between Genesis and the new continent.”

This captured everyone’s attention clearly. They had not expected that the materials would be safely traveling with them to the new continent to explore. Especially since they understood the delicacy needed for rune carving and its materials.

”I would also like every single one of you to know that while we are on this expedition, we will have elites from each royal dragon working with team leaders. This is because we may encounter dragons entirely separated from those living with us side by side. The hope is that they are able to recognize Dragonkin in that case.”

”We may also see descendants of giant and ancient monsters. If that is the case, those with the capability and marked as elites on the provided badges will handle the fight. The rest will focus on safety and survival. That is why there are battle plans and defensive plans within the packet as well.”

This seemed to make a bit of stress for everyone. They did not expect dragons to be mentioned here.

This was because the remaining rogue dragons within the Sigil continent had been weak or their bloodlines spread out through other species of monsters. Making it seem that dragons anywhere else wouldn’t be that big a deal since in Genesis the dragon races were intelligent and united.

However, taking in to consideration that dragons might have lived in a continent of monsters for many years fighting for survival, they wondered if they would be intelligent at all. Yet, many had begun to read in to the other monsters theoretically there. Descendants of giant monsters called the mountain oxen, silt serpent, and even the forest needle boars were something they believed would be a bigger challenge on top of everything.

These ancient monsters had to have survived in some respect. With the world returning to its proper size due to the connection to the elemental planes, then it also presented an issue with the fact that some monster might have returned from dormancy just like they had seen and heard here recently. Further meaning that there was no one on that continent fighting them to preserve balance.

All in all, they might be entering lands and water where trouble has been brewing for months now. They would need to work much harder to handle every issue they faced now and in the coming future as they slowly explored the entire continent of wilderness.

”You will also see on the supplies list potions will be given to you along with other medicinal salves and teas. This is to prevent any risk or for emergencies. The bandages and other basic materials are provided by the cathedral and associated guilds. You will have a card to display and use to pick up your supply kits. They are made for you and your class and duties on this expedition. Do not leave any behind even if you feel they are excessive.”

”The training you have undergone since joining was to increase your ability to carry, utilize, and ensure your safety while on this expedition. You can see who your team captains are now, so please begin your own private meetings now.”

The outburst of talking was simply due to the fact that everyone had to find their team captains. The adventurers joining didn’t argue and found theirs much faster but those with less experience in teams like the scouts had to struggle a little. Otherwise, Walker was glad to see people moving so well.

He also glanced behind him, noticing that king Rorick, the forest elf queen, and the human king with his daughter were watching him. The dwarven kings hadn’t even bothered to come to the surface, apparently they had been fully immersed in aspects of their own culture brought here together within Genesis. Something he didn’t mind hearing.

However, all these leaders had seen what they ended up seeing and were leaving within the day or two back to their homes. Their progress here has been achieved and the assurances that their people were more than well cared for was found.

They had also seen the progress they needed to justify everything spent on Genesis to this point. Now they could keep encouraging Genesis while they brought back more information, technology, and anything else from other cultures to their homes. It would rapidly expand the strength of their people over the course of the next few months. Beyond just this, they too would understand what their own capital cities needed to be able to adapt and grow in the coming years so they didn’t fall behind Genesis too far.

”It seems like this is done then?” Gil was stretching his arms knowing that he was planning to train a few of the younger archers here in the adventurer’s guild after the training field cleared. They had only booked the time here for this meeting of squads and captains. Everyone would be leaving soon.

”I didn’t think you would look this excited to meet some new young adventurers and teach them archery.” Walker knew all too well that Gil was usually on edge with new archers. Especially since they had a habit of breaking bows or firing arrows in the wrong places.

”You know that I have to make sure they know a thing or two before I come back. Didn’t you hear about the group who came from the forests? They were trying to show off and end up picking a fight with a young squad just finishing training. They got so badly embarrassed that half of them quit training from the forest elf city and fully came over here or quit all together.” Gil looked stressed thinking that this might repeat.

”Situations like that will keep happening until people realize that they need to expand their minds to other forms of archery or any crafting or warrior related lifestyle. Too many people are looking through a tunnel and thinking they can see the whole world from the other side. But they are missing the mountain view if they actually traveled the path on the other side of that tunnel.”

Lately a lot of people have been saying this, but it was all too true. ”Look at the people here. They are all considered high quality or elites. Some of the adventurers are even called geniuses compared to other kingdoms. But here, they are not as advanced and are trying to join this expedition because they will advance so much that they could be considered veteran adventurers when they get home.”

Gil nodded along. He knew all too well the stress that many leaders or employers faced in these situations. Plenty of people were realizing they had begun to fall behind without coming to Genesis or learning what was happening here. It was quickly proving to be a source of strife amongst those who could not travel here or get ahold of what they needed to keep growing.

But that was why the education program was moving forward so rapidly. Copies of books, scholars, and plenty of other related teachers were traveling now and even more in the future.

”I will go with Su and Remey to check on the golem line up. There are golems that are being tested and a similar meeting taking place right now.” Walker watched as Gil moved out, he knew that in the next day or so they would all be fully geared up and ready to leave.
