Chapter 1468 1468. Good Spot

"Hello there!" The soldier leading the four moved closer and gave a wave. "Our scouts saw you around and thought you were some adventurers sent to sure up the border. We came to give an escort."

It was easy to see that the soldiers were happy to see more people coming. They also had wider smiles realizing just who the adventurers were in front of them. The party didn't do anything to hide the plaques they had.

"We did come to help out. The border is a little over a day from here. I assume you are all sent to check these lands between the border walls and the nearest villages?" Walker knew that this was a regular patron to ensure that groups of demonic monsters had not found homes. The demonic monsters were too destructive.

"You have it exactly right. Should we show you the trail we have carved out? From there you can access any route to a border wall tower." The towers along the border walls were the small headquarters of each main captain. They had them to spot incoming monsters and demon soldiers. It was a main defense for the border.

"We need to set up a waypoint for soldiers and refugees to rest. There are a lot coming through this area and toward Genesis. By the time we finish the set up we expect healers and a few adventurers to catch up to us." Walker didn't hide what their intentions were. It appeared that the soldiers were glad to hear it.

"In that case, I will make your map with the main junctions where multiple trails intersect. You have a better chance to set up at one of them. It's about ten minutes that way. The flying monsters won't bother you past there. They are afraid of the shiny armor we have." The soldiers laughed at their discovery of such a fact.

"That's good to know. We will hand a few shiny pieces of metal to keep them at bay. We don't want anyone's healing to be interrupted." This valuable information was going to help the waypoint be even better protected. Especially if the arrow sparrows would end up protecting it from other monsters since they attacked anything in their territory.

"Glad to help. Now, we have fifteen more routes to check before we circle back around. Stay alert and keep it up." The soldiers were off on foot again. Their duty could not be ignored to remain with the party if the party didn't want an escort.

"I feel like we should have said yes to the escort. It's getting pretty hot out here today." Gil felt a little bad watching them head off.

"Then who would check their trails? Would you? They need to do their job to maintain the safety of this area." Su made a good point and Gil felt that it would bring them more guilt if they were escorted.

"Less sitting around and more moving. Their path is easy to follow. We can set up at the nearest cross section." Remey was pushing ahead with Midnight and Onyx right next to her. She wanted to ensure that her potions had a safe place to rest and were labeled for anyone to use when they set up a camp.

The party fell behind Remey and made it to the junction of walking routes in only half an hour. They had been able to see the heavily walked routes that the soldiers were required to walk. They managed to spot a few scouts moving quickly along routes in the distance. It was clear that some of the scouts were covering a lot by themselves, meaning that it was a sure thing that some refugees would make it past them. That also meant monsters would as well.

"I am going to flatten this entire spot." Walker followed the map and knew that the spot they had stopped was ideal for a way point. It was not too far from the border walls but just far enough that supplies would need to be topped up.

The party moved away. They knew that Walker was going to use his grand elemental manipulation to focus on the ground beneath their feet.

Just as they made it a safe distance. The ground started to tremble. Walker rifts broke up the ground causing the grass around to be dug up. Any rocks were also broken up and mixed in to the soil. In a large pulse of earth elemental mana, Walker flattened it all in to an ideal working surface.

A few drops of sweat fell off Walker's brow as he looked around at the large space. "The fire can be in the center so that cooking and warming can be easily accessible." Walker made an indent in the earth before pulling out a few logs to place there. He moved away and made a separate pile of small kindling and logs after that. The other started to cut down some of the grass at the edges of what Walker had cleared. It would help for visibility and to make a place for people to lay down.

"Midnight, Can you help me here?" Walker had a barrel of water that wasn't staying in place. It had an uneven bottom which wasn't an issue in Walker's storage but needed adjustment now. With a quick slash of Midnight's claws, the barrel had a few splinters of wood broken making it rest flat once again. "Perfect. Now for the bed rolls and water proof sheets."

The party worked hard to slowly build the resting area. With the guidance of Alice and Su, a place for the injured was made. They had to make do with what they had but it was enough to have three separate resting areas. It wasn't a perfect home but a good spot for outdoor rest.
