Chapter 207 Veterans
As Alan made his way towards the designated meeting place just outside of Camelot city, he was accompanied by four NPCs: Merlin, Guinevere, Percival, Dagonet, and five fey warriors. All of them were mounted on horses, a strategic choice based on the nature of the quest and its location. Alan believed that bringing a smaller group would be more effective, allowing the remaining fey warriors to provide support for his friends within Camelot's walls.
When he arrived at the meeting point, Alan found a group of two dozen individuals waiting for him. He recognized roughly half of them; they were a combined group of Black Sand mercenaries from two different teams. The New York server team was led by the scar-faced Hispanic Cachellos, while the French team was commanded by a tall, blonde man wearing thin glasses – a veteran player named Gabriel Baptiste, known as the Bishop. noVE)lb.In
Among Cachello's team were several notable members: Fin 'Force,' Maddox the formidable warrior; Nash 'Tempest' Rourke, the Elementalist with mastery over lightning-based attacks; and Cade Harlow, the Archer known for his precision and accuracy.
Within the French Black Sand team, Alan recognized Cammie, the Blue Blaster, stood out with her striking blue-highlighted hair and a massive energy gun slung over her back. Then there was Darcy Manon, known as the Bear, a formidable figure with imposing, hairy arms. Lastly, a man with long brown hair named Florent 'Gale' Collete sat in silence, his spear standing high.
All of the two dozen players gathered there were not just veterans with over 40 levels; they were highly trained mercenaries in the real world. They were considered the cream of the crop, the best team money could buy in the Apocalypse game.
As he approached the gathered mercenaries, Alan initiated the conversation, stating, "I guess we're all waiting for the boss now."
Cammie, the blue-haired and somewhat wild girl, fixed him with a fierce gaze. "This one... he is the Teacher, isn't he?" she questioned.
"Yes, you could say that. I am Alan," he confirmed.
Gabriel Baptiste, known as the Bishop, stepped forward and politely introduced himself. He then observed Alan's companions and inquired, "All NPCs?" He particularly took notice of the elderly Merlin with much interest.
As they waited, another group approached from the city. Axel himself led this group, accompanied by his bodyguard, The Silver Rapier, Zencher, and two other Death Knights. They were also joined by 30 Britannia Cavalry Knights. To Alan's surprise, two other veteran figures, Marcus and Jason of the Blood Patriot, were among Axel's followers. The fact that Axel could attract such extremist players demonstrated the extent of his influence.
Axel surveyed the group of players and NPCs, totaling 70 in number, with satisfaction. He then turned to Alan and issued his orders. "Okay, everyone is here already. Please lead the way."

The update stirred excitement among the veterans, as such a quest involving the elimination of multiple bosses promised substantial experience points and rewards.
"Alright, let's open the gate," Axel declared, ready to embark on this perilous journey into the unknown.
