Chapter 1497 1497. No Map

"I know I sent notice that I would not come here. But with the state of this battle and what needed to be done…I would be a fool to remain in my castle surrounded by safety. My queen pushed me to come as well." King August tried to hide the secondary reasons. Walker had a feeling that his queen had been getting tired of the king around all the time for worry of her own sanity.

"Then you came at the right time. I will let you meet with King Rorick for the current plans. Rest well so you can get home after meeting with all the commanders. The royal dragons will be preparing to move ahead as well. When Scylla gets here we will be planning the villages that we will free." Walker knew there was a lot about to happen.

The next moves from here would be very important. The fact that they all lacked definite mapping of the demon lands was not good. There were only maps from the far shores where some small human cities had grown. The one being the most focused on was the city known for major exports with ships where the main grand cathedral was.

The fact that they had survived for so long was all about location. They existed where the cliffs ran along the ocean. It was the ideal place to create a city because it not only stopped the demons from getting to them, but made a massive line of ports. The homes had literally been carved in to the side of a cliff.

From there, the coast had been marked out but where the beaches returned, the demon's control of the lands returned. There were also very dangerous monsters that roamed the edges of the ocean because of the beaches and the food sources there. It was not a surprise that not many of these areas were mapped out.

"Ventus. We need a map. A solid map of the demon lands and the best route to the cathedral. Is that something you can do?" The royal dragon had been watching Walker carefully.

Because Ventus was unfamiliar with many here, she wanted to see how they acted around Walker. She was impressed that so many came to him even though it was clear that the command of the soldiers actually fell on others. But the respect that Walker had built made his opinion very important. His ideals and unique ways of doing things just further supported this.

"Of course I can do something so small. Give me two scribes to carry and they will be able to get a very good look at the world." Ventus was not someone that could just draw a map. But she could bring people with her to do it. They just had to withstand a little wind.

"It will be done." Walker looked over to see that Gil had heard what Ventus said. He already had a smirk on his face while grabbing the attention of a nearby commander.

Many of the others were moving around to set up advanced camps ahead of the wall. The battle did not take them too far, but it was better to have a smaller camp that could help people get their preparations for the next journey.

"Walker, this is getting a little complicated. There are adventurers coming that already have assignments from Clara. She had been communicating with some scouts she sent. She has already decided to go after the abandoned villages to gain information."

Thank you Su, that will make things easier. I have a feeling that some demons might flee to abandoned villages because they don't think that the demon soldiers would look for them there. If adventurers go it keeps the main soldiers focused on the villages being guarded by demon soldiers." Walker felt that Clara was ahead of the game even though she was not on the ground here. But the big reason she excelled was the special guild master interface she had with her system.

There was less and less for Walker to worry about as more people came up to him. Ventus had taken the two scribes that Gil had found with her and Terron had begun setting up many more traps. He was going to make sure that the camps and walls were going to remain perfectly safe until the end of this war. It was a sight that proved that Terron took very high amounts of pride in whatever he did. Even though Walker did not know him well, he knew that Terron was a very good ally to have.

"I will be moving forward. While we dropped those arrows I spotted something interesting to fight in the distance." Ignus stopped by for just a moment before leaving again.

"What he meant to say is that he saw a pack of demonic giant wolves in the distance. He and his dragonkin will handle them because he wants the meat from them." Mordant shook his head but was smiling nonetheless.

"And what do you want to do?" Walker could've guessed what Mordant was thinking. He seemed pretty happy where he was at the moment.

"Well, my dragonkin warriors should have already left for the nearest village. I plan to gather some information when a higher ranking demon soldier is found. Are you opposed?" Mordant wondered if Walker was going to just stop where he was.

"Do it. We need all the information we can get while we prepare to send smaller forces to the demon villages. Ventus should be back with a rough map in a few hours. This is recovery time." Mordant drifted in to the shadows. He had expected Walker to understand the gravity of this. Mordant needed to use his force as a dragon to get what was needed done faster than anyone else could. The shadows were his unique tool to make it all happen.
