The very next day I was waiting for everybody with piles of crystals already prepared. I brought with a new stack of 2 490 000 of points in gems with an additional 219 170 which was left from the previous day.
Everybody got the sa amount of 7k points per person. It was a lot in terms of getting good equipnt, and even a few first upgrades. I could give them more, but I also wanted to get the next upgrade as fast as possible, because it would allow us access to basically everything we could possibly need, but what was even more important, would unlock the second set of hunting grounds, which was crucial.
The total price of my investnt was 280 000 points, so 2 429 170 landed on my account, putting at 2 873 942 in total. Almost three percent of what was needed for the upgrade.
With equipnt people began practicing under the supervision of Tihana, John, and Celestine.
There were a couple of blocks, starting with a review of what was being thought on the previous day, to then mostly sparring in pairs, and a few simulations of how to react while getting surrounded by goblins, take advantage of the surroundings, et cetera.
I didn't contribute to any of that, just watched from a distance as people were getting more and more sweaty. That's how most of my day passed. The next day, I did a quick run during the night, just after midnight, to clear all the spots, except the goblin territory. I brought back 2 088 600 points with , putting at 5 023 942 in total. I also had already accumulated 36 class points.
Upon my return, I noticed that people were coming out of the houses already wearing armor, and with weapons in their hands. Tihana appeared at that ti too, and she began splitting people into correct groups. Most of them knew with whom to go, but so needed a bit of help with that.
To my surprise, she ca to as she was almost finished.
- You are going with them - she said and pointed at Carlita, Leonel, Lucas, and an additional woman.
- ? - I was surprised by her words, but the squad of that group kinda made want to go, to make sure my adopted kids were safe.
- Yes, you. They have two kids, and additional support could be needed, so it would be good if you could keep an eye on them - she explained.
I knew very well what she ant because the sa thought went through my mind.
- Ok - I agreed while nodding slowly.
Then I joined their group of four. They all had the sa, standard equipnt. A leather chest piece with pads on elbows, knees, forearms, and shins. They also had helts reinforced with tal, swords, and wooden shields.
I spotted only a few divination from this set. A couple of people here and there had bows, I also noticed a few spears, but for the most part, it was the sword and shield.
- Hi there - I threw at them.
- Wow, now I feel safe - was Lucas's response.
The kids just beca a little bit shy around .
- I'm just gonna watch, and make sure you two won't get my kids killed - I said to both him and the female.
- We can fight too - Leonel protested, showing the sword he had in his hands.
- I don't doubt that, the problem is your lack of experience - I went down on one knee to get more or less on the sa eye level he was. - You've never been in a fight yet. It's way harder than you might think, an n your ti to react is very limited. One mistake may cost you a lot, so to make sure you won't have to pay that price fully, I'll be watching from the backline. Hopefully, you will do so great, that I will be just walking around, behind you.
- We will do good - Carlita accused , as she touched her brother's shoulder.
The boy nodded with confidence, which made smile.
- I look forward to that - I said and brought the warst smile I could muster right on my face.
- Let's go guys - said Lucas, as people began departing. - If we don't start moving, there will be no goblins for us.
We followed the nine groups, who managed to get in front of us. Tihana was leading the whole procession. As soon as we reached the forest of those alien trees with blue and green leaves, sho spoke again.
- Move to your assigned location! After you clear your part of the forest, head to the cave! - she almost yelled.
- Our part of the forest? - I asked my group.
- This way - said Lucas, showing with the sword where to go.
Since he was so quick to respond and had confidence, I didn't question him at all.
We walked for a while, with others before us, and even were able to witness a few fights taking place before us, where people quite efficiently dealt with goblins. I made sure the group wouldn't just stay and stare, because we had our part to clear, but they clearly really wanted to. Especially the kids. I had to bring their focus back a few tis to where they were walking because they almost hit a tree couple of tis.
Like that, we arrived more or less where we were supposed to, and also noticed the first group of four green monsters ahead of us. Because of my keen eyes and ears, I was able to detect them faster, but I remained silent, to allow the rest to find the danger on their own.
- Ok guys. Quiet - Lucas hissed. - There are four ahead of us. Let's flank them. Two people left side and two right side. Leone, you go with .
The boy didn't argue, just fixed the shield on his forearm, and gripped the weapon tightly. Then, slightly hunching over, followed the man, while Carlita did mostly the sa, and followed the woman. I crossed my arms on my chest, just watching them.
