I chuckled before I replied:
"It's a deal then, see you there."
I closed the chat and then thought about who should I choose to lead these players. I wasn't talking about a ten or twenty players team, it's a thousand and half, even more to co. I sighed, as I suddenly realized how short my knowledge with this ga was, and that limited my abilities a lot.
I thought about asking Shin, so I sent a private ssage to him trying to get his advice on this. He replied as fast as usual, as he advised by saying:
"Leading a one and thousand team isn't easy; you need to find a veteran player and soone you really trust. That's not an option right now, especially considering the limited ti we have. So, I advise you to organize them into one hundred players team, each would be led by a player you feel capable.
Don't stress yourself, as you will create another team with these team leaders, and you will ask them to report their status every fixed period, say every hour. This way, you can handle them better and if one or a bunch double crossed you, you won't lose much."
I felt his words made quite sense, so I decided to follow them. I had one thousand and five hundred players here, so I needed fifteen leaders. Considering that more players would join us during this period, I decided to select twenty leaders, as I predicted to have five hundred players maximum.
I went back to find the players were still going in batches inside the adventure hall. I knew the hall wasn't made just for , so I assud most of these players ca for their own business.
I moved to enter the hall, and just as I took a few steps towards the main entrance, I noticed many players turned to look at in a strange way, like they were looking at a monster. I didn't bother with their looks, but the more I moved forward, the more frightened looks I got, and that made quite uncomfortable.
Once I entered inside the spacious hall, the situation got worse, as more players looked at with fear and even so of them cleared a space around like I had so contagious disease.
That action attracted the attention of everyone, and suddenly the whole bustling with life hall beca dead silent like a graveyard. That wasn't cool at all, fa I an.
I noticed the approach of my handso knight with his shiny armor, which reminded about a silver grade knight armor that looked really good with .
"Welco back my lady, unfortunately we need more ti as more players are still coming to join our group."
He said these words with respect once he reached . his words attracted my attention as I asked:
"How many players ca so far?"
"Approximately three hundred, and I believe if we waited for a couple of hours we might gain thousands."
He said that with a beaming smile and proud tone, but I didn't feel the sa. All I felt was more headache, as now my previous plan couldn't work, twenty leaders? Huh, I was modest, I needed at least to choose thirty players, or even more.
"Listen Rody, do you know any of the players who joined us?" I asked casually out of desperation, as if he didn't know any then I would have to randomly choose those leaders and try out my luck.
"From all of them?" he asked while he turned to look at the far long crowd of players standing around one NPC there, "I know quite a few of them, but I can't say I know all."
I looked at him sharply as I asked instantly:
"How do you know each other? Are you from the sa kingdom?"
"Kingdom? Hahaha, no my lady, we are from the sa empire, as we are all from Frod."
Damn, his laugh is so attractive. I looked away towards those players at the distance as I asked:
"So you are like friends? Rose in the sa place?"
"Not quite true my lady, as so of them are quite famous, I won't boast to say there are a considerable number of them who see each other as rivals, hahaha."
Damn you and your sweet laugh, I was sure he knew how charming his smile and laugh were and he used them on purpose. I looked away again towards my players up ahead as I said pointing to them:
"How many of those rivals do we have here?"
"Hmm, let think, around fifty," he replied after so deep thinking and a slight pause. I sighed, as if all his rivals were also rivals to him in his good looks, then I would be damned.
"Are they knights like yourself?" I asked.
"No, not entirely, as many of them are swordsn, and quite number of them are magicians," he said while pointing towards my crowd of players,
"Do you need to call them for you?"
"Sure, I need to et them, but not here, let's et outside. I will await all of you at the entrance, don't be late," I said while moving away towards the exit. I didn't know why, but standing beside that knight made quite nervous, which was sothing I didn't like at all.
As I exited the building, I noticed more players were coming into it from far, and every single one of them looked at with fear, but so started to look at with veneration.
I assud those fearful looks ca from either independent players or those belonging to an adventure group, while those who looked at with respect were either my admirers or players who ca to join my group.
My waiting outside the hall didn't last long, as I noticed Rody coming out with a group of players and they moved straight towards . I had to admit, most of them were handso, and the female players were strangely stunning beauty, which was sothing I envied. I wished soday I would grow up and be as charming and gorgeous as them.
"Sorry to be late my lady, but we had to wait for soone to finish his registering process," Rody said first as he glanced to the side towards one player, a female berserker. She was tall, with few small muscles at her arms that didn't disturb her general charming figure.
No worries, and no need for apologies. I have no ti to waste, so I will get straight into the topic. I have to leave here and join my other trapped group outside the town. So I can't be around to organize and lead players. I will trust you with this mission, is there any objection to that?"
I entered straight into the subject I wanted from them, as I really needed to move towards the eting place with Aria, who just sent a short ssage telling she arrived there and was waiting for .
My words seed to surprise everyone, including Rody, as they seed to imagine I needed them for other matters. That female berserker asked:
"Won't we join you and kill those arrogants? We aren't afraid of fighting and even losing a couple of levels doing that."
Her words were warmly welcod from everyone, either by nodding or muttering sothing that I couldn't hear well. I looked towards her; she had a fiery temper as hot as her body. I smiled in happiness, as those strong enthusiastic players were mine now.
"Don't worry; wars can't be won only by strength."
"Is this a plan then?" a more handso male magician asked straight forward, as I replied instantly:
"Yes, it's a plan. I needed you to organize my players into teams of one hundred and wait for my call. Don't worry, there is plenty of killing to everyone, but right now we need to act more discrete and use our heads instead of our skills. I don't need to stress over the secrecy of this mission, do you understand?"
I then moved my eyesight between each of them, as I wanted to clearly stress over this matter. I didn't say it clearly, though they got what I truly ant. This was a test, they either use it well and rise with , or they screw up this chance and they would get over my bad side.
After a few silent awkward monts, I started to take out so extra gears from my inventory. I planned to give these extras to the team coming with Aria, but now I had more mouths to feed, and my players were a priority.
Once I took out the first equipnt, which was a berserker heavy sword, the eyes of the three berserkers in the group shone as they didn't believe what they were looking at.
"Oh god, is this a bronze grade heavy sword?" the hot berserker, and the only female berserker of the three here, comnted with disbelief and shock.
She couldn't prevent herself from stepping forward involuntarily towards the sword, but the two other male berserkers didn't stand by and watch silently, as they moved as well cutting her way forward.
"Elyo, c'mon, you already have a good heavy sword."
"Yes Elyo, you have the best sword amongst the three of us."
Elyo looked seriously towards the two of them and her face showed no intention of backing off:
"Who told you this was a general voting contest, Rodrig and Doraly? If you have the ability to stop then you are welcod, otherwise move your big dumb brains out of my way."
I liked this girl even more! I chuckled, and my soft sound attracted their attention to , as I said calmly without being fazed by their strong aura:
"First of all, this is a silver heavy sword Elyo, not a bronze grade."
"W-What? Silver Grade? You aren't playing tricks on , right?" Elyo yelled with disbelief and a loud voice that was enough to be heard from a mile away. I laughed and didn't reply as I started to take out equipnt in patches.
Fifty equipnt for fifty players, each looked towards this small hill of attractive gears like they were looking at a mountain of gold. I pointed out towards this as I said without care:
"Serve well, and you won't even have an empty place for extra equipnt. This is just a token of my appreciation for your future efforts, so don't fail ."
Everyone was captivated with these equipnt, and were so shocked by seeing them. they had a point here, as commoner players like them, they couldn't afford to obtain a single bronze equipnt this early in the ga.
Having single silver grade equipnt was such a luxurious dream for them, and now I took fifty silver grade equipnt and tossed them on the ground like they were nothing. If they knew I had hundreds of pieces of equipnt in my possession, would they try and kill ? I understood their feelings, so I didn't wait for their reply as I said:
"Rody, I will create a group and appoint you as my vice leader. Invite all the rest to this group. Each hour you must report to with any updates regarding the new players. If you have ti, you can take your team and level them up.
These equipnt need level fifteen at the least, so don't slack off and train hard. Wait for my order to move out, and watch out from any spies or ambushes. I will leave everything in your hands, so don't disappoint ."
I turned and left in a hurry as I was already late on Aria. I gave a final glance over them when I was a couple of hundred ters away, they were still standing in their places exchanging silent looks.
Their faces from far away were so funny, which made giggle. I looked forward and began to move faster, I hoped they didn't act lousy, as I needed them in the future.
