William found many of these, all empty, and decided to block them with rocks and not let any chance of threat be present there.
"I've selected my Black Tails team before. They are now going to be army leaders. Each army will have vices selected from the Golden Tails team. And all of them are going to select masters from you to join them. At the end of the day, all of the masters will join one army or another. Then you'll each select one mountain peak and take it as your symbol, as your residence, as your home..."
William already counted the mountains in the area; there were a few hundred of them, enough to make each a symbol of one army.
He decided to let the armies be led by his friends, then they'd select people from the Black Tails team. After that, they all would select masters from the Gold Tails team and the grand pool of masters in the entire guild.
As he explained in great detail what everyone was going to do, he selected three of his friends to form a small team and follow him around.
This special little team was led by Karoline, John, and Thomas. And they were going to be like his record track holding of the entire training process of the guild.
John already showed great skill in handling lots of paperwork, and Karoline lacked much experience in dealing with the master world, not to mention trains. As for Thomas, he had a unique talent, one that wasn't suited to be on the frontline and do various tasks out there.
He intended to go all over the place, and give specialised training directions and methods to every single team. A good master had great followers, and he had to take care not only of his friends but of the masters following them.
In other words, he planned to train everyone in the guild, selecting suited and tailored training techniques, fighting techniques, and even weapons for them.
To do so, he'd consume lots of time, and that was something he couldn't avoid. To make up for that, he decided to let this special team handle everything else. They'd keep track of how they trained, and how well they progressed, spot any problems or errors they made, and inform him about all that in detailed reports.
Like this, he'd keep track of everything going all over the place without the need to personally visit everyone. As for the masters who were going to join them, he decided to train them from time to time as well.
Even if these three weren't great fighters, and weren't going to handle tasks at the frontline, it didn't mean they wouldn't join any battle or something. Like the past war when everyone had to fight for their lives.
He gave everyone a few days to settle everything, selected their trusted masters, and they all would select from the grand pool of masters. He didn't limit anyone wanting to join any of his friends, as long as his friends accepted.
They all worked the same way he used to, using the special method of assessing spirit power to select the most capable and talented masters first.
As the guild already accepted members based on such screening methods from the early beginning, it was expected that it to have tons of good talents.
They struggled to pick who was going to fit in their close circle, and on many occasions, they got into quarrels with others about a few talents here and there.
William set a single rule to solve all this, fight! Whoever wanted to pick a talent, had to fight for it. And that started a trend in the guild; boss fights!
They called their army leaders as a boss, like how they called William before. These fights attracted hype and attention, not only among the guild but among many others as well.
Many formidable masters took in watching what the Fox guild mini-bosses were doing and started to watch everything using their spirit sense. The battles raged on for days, and William just let them have their fun.
At first, many tried to snatch talents from others, mainly driven by their envy and desire for competition. But later on, they started to enjoy what they were doing, enjoyed the battles, and started to fight over lots of masters, elongating the battles even more.
William let his guild masters construct rings, one hundred in total. After seeing the hype these created, he decided to leave these rings all the time open, giving his guild members the chance to fight against each other, and get a better taste of real battles inside these rings.
He had to wait for one week, and then the entire new structure of his guild was done. There were thirty-two armies here, led all by his friends. They absorbed the hundreds of thousands of masters in the guild, and each selected one mountain, taking it as a symbol.
Anjie started a trend of placing a symbol over her mountain peak, a falcon! She decided to call her army the Falcon Novistic army, and soon everyone followed her steps and did as her.
William didn't object to such a thing. Even if he found it weird for her to select a flying monster as an icon, something that was considered a myth in this world, it was still great. Such a symbol was something that would deepen her masters' belonging to her side and would make them feel more attached to the guild.
Berry selected her family's dragon as a symbol, mixed with the feathers of a phoenix. She called her mountain the Dragon Phoenix Hybrid mountain, and William knew why she selected such a name.
Other girls and friends started to pick names based on things they held deep to them. Few selected their spirits, others selected their families, and rarely selected things they admired, even if they weren't related to.
William let them have total control over this and didn't interfere or say anything.
