Master Of None

Chapter 2301: 2301. Fears

”Another intact egg here!” These shouts were not the only ones heard related to surviving eggs.

Even though the plans had created a radical and incredibly dangerous environment within the area where the false rats were nesting, some of their eggs had survived. This had stunned many of the soldiers at first, however, they understood immediately why they had been set to patrol the area.

The large sweeps were done in organized lines. Each with their own mages to create potent attacks which would destroy the remaining eggs. Then the egg remains were gathered and brought to the elder fire dragon who were turning them in to ashes.

These ashes would be spread over the land where the nests had been. Those mirrored hills had been ruined because of the eating away at the roots of grasses, and the extermination process. To return some nutrients, the ashes would be hit with dark mana to help them degrade even more for the soil to absorb them after some of the frost melted back in to water.

From there, Walker would gather the natural mana and replenish the land as best as he could while the elven archers had separated with some of the hunters present to gather seeds from the grasses of the plains. This would allow the land to return to what it should be faster.

While the land would still be damaged and grow behind the rest of the plains, it would not be gone. Instead, it would have a fresh start which would give some of the monsters returning to the area a chance to make their homes.

Some of the young of these monsters would not be able to eat the grasses or even dig in to the older soil where stronger roots had gathered over many years. This land would be ideal for the young since the soil would be tougher without harder roots. The grasses would also not grow fully, but be spotty. Allowing for small hiding places.

With that would come predators who could hunt from the sky for these smaller and weaker monsters. Creating a developmental ecosystem to help allow the monsters to grow as well. They had a lot more space here as well within the world as it was now. For the world to turn properly, they also needed to flourish.

The sweeps being performed were easily taking care of other issues too. From what could be seen, there were some nests that had covered the bodies of the false rats. Leaving behind some of their bodies as materials. None had survived the drastic temperature changes though. They were enough to get rid of both the blade fly full forms and the false rats yet to develop.

This was a good thing though. The materials found could be used within Genesis as a way to put the costs of so many of the allianceʼs forces coming here at such short notice. Especially since many of the costs were related to making the runes, arrows, and other potions used. Everything wasnʼt free even though it was for the best of the world.

While this was proving to be a perfect response and example of the unity within the races that made up Genesis, there was more noticed here.

Many of those who had heard the news and were getting the most recent updates had realized the dangers. The world had expected by a greater margin than what they had allowed themselves to understand at first.

Simply put, all races and kingdoms had believed that these changes would be isolated to the few areas that they had heard of so far. Not that these areas could actually be places where ancient or extremely dangerous, world ending monsters could be.

This was also putting aside the ancient racesʼ ruins. The monster dens that were discovered. Then even the potential that more unique places seemingly part of the changing world existed.

All of this was a greater danger for everyone within the kingdoms, towns, and villages. Along with all the routes between them.

Just the thoughts about how some of these things were off in unexplored continents or wilderness areas which no one had ever been to was terrifying.

The representatives still within Genesis began a heightened focus on the safety of the Genesis alliance territory and the kingdomʼs transportation routes. All of this was going to be the primary focus to prevent any dangers. This was the first time in many years across the world when people were more afraid of the wilderness.

Most of the time, there were situations where guards, escorts, and armies could handle the monsters which might come knocking. The defenses were believed to be enough or at least the strongest of that kingdom would be able to repel a threat. The greatest threats were always other races.

That was different now. Every kingdom so far explored by one another had been united within the Genesis alliance. They did not need to stress much about the elemental planes since they were a place strictly guarded by the most powerful forces. Who all wanted balance.

Yet, the wilderness within the world which were almost all showing signs of ancient monster eggs which had needed to be resilient to survive, had survived. So many monsters that could go without a natural enemy and no chance to become intelligent enough to become a race. Causing potential world wide risks.

This was also putting aside the potential herbs, illnesses, and other things related to the fact that existence had created ways for everyone and everything to grow and change. The classes were the perfect example of someone changing their progression in life.

The party had shown this with their unique changes. They had changed before the world had returned to flow, however, their systemʼs names and their classes now matched. Evidence that they could have somehow managed to grow in a way that their class might have changed. It even affected their races.

To the party, this was the way the world worked. How fate itself guided them.

But to the others of the council, they even considered that some monsters could become intelligent. In a far off place. A race that may be against the alliance one day.

Fears like that were an issue which even Walker had at times. That was why, while he helped clean up the land, he was brainstorming.

As a Hero title holder, no, as a citizen of the Genesis alliance who stood for all those people struggling to grow in to a better future? Yes, he would be focusing on the problems that they would face. And the best part was, that he had plenty of leaders here thinking the exact same things.

Once the soothing flow of gathered natural mana had radiated from the center of the area affected by the false rats and blade flies, it was nothing like the mirrored hills made by those pests. Naturally, it was not rapidly growing since it had to survive without taking away all the nutrients in the soil at once.

Walker quickly headed toward a large tent at the main base area. He had already learned that very few people were hurt and any injuries from blade flies were being healed easily. It was the main reason why he was so proud of the mixing of the churchʼs healing and the dwarven knowledge of the body and natural healing.

”Walker, we have already been speaking. We must make a larger effort to explore the wilderness while ensuring that the final repairs are being done on the routes between kingdoms. We have evidence right here today that dangers are out there. We donʼt need to explore everything right away, but the immediate areas of all kingdoms must happen sooner rather than later.”

Mordant had become very set on this. The same with Risse and Current. They all nodded at this. They could see that this was just a small taste of the future. The world was growing and this meant resources and opportunity. They also saw it as a way to lose all of that.

The recognized Genesis was a treasure. One that the dragons could take immense pride in.

”Genesis and all kingdoms should be reinforced. Small villages should be consolidated. Towns should be more heavily guarded as well.” It was Ignus who growled this out. Terron was clearly also behind him. He looked to be ready to leave and return to Genesis immediately. The earth wyvern queen could be in danger there.

At least that was where his mind was.

”Neither side is a priority over the other. This is not the time to argue over it while the communication crystals draw mana and degrade.” Ventus let out a rough growl at this. She was ending the arguing which the royal dragons had been focused on for some time before Walker had arrived.
