Chapter 212 Expedition

"Get me the stats. Now. I want to take a look at how far in we are."

The entire guild was in a frenzy. The reason? The Guild master finally said that everyone was ready to head over to the first expedition.

It was a long and arduous wait.

"I am still surprised that not a single guild has succeeded in getting to at least one of the unknown lands. I mean, the first checkpoint hasn't even been cleared!" Myriad Arrows exclaimed.

Right now, he and Jake were in the top most floor, and the corner office of that floor.

"I told you didn't I? The expedition is made for tier two players. Not tier one." Jake said.

"But you have to remember. We have only around seventy or eighty tier two players in our ranks. Even if we count all of the four guilds, that comes down to maybe four hundred." Myriad Arrows said.

"Those numbers are enough. We aren't going to try and finish the expeditions all today. It is a gradual process. We don't just rush to every single checkpoint and clear the expedition." Jake said, chuckling.

"This will take around six or seven months to finish, in fact. You have to prepare for that." Jake said.

"But in that time, we should have a few good helpers on our side." Myriad Arrows smiled.

"Remember to keep that a secret. Not even our guild members should know about it. It is better to have a trump card like this hidden." Jake said.

He then walked to the windows and looked down.

From his corner office, he could see the entire training grounds. But to one side was a compound that was walled off.

No one was allowed in, except for the guild master and the vice guild master.

No one even knew what it was. But it was supposed to be kept that way.

These were the stables. A month and seven days had passed since the time Jake handed the eggs over to the taming master.

One of the eggs had hatched.

Jake was overjoyed. He was hoping for the miracle to take place, and it did. It happened. He was now the first person to be in possession of a tamed beast.

The beast was even tamed under the Bright Horizon banner, as it was raised in a stable. That meant that it was considered a guild beast.

"When are you going to use the rewards though? Are you sure you want to let this dinosaur starve?" Myriad Arrows asked.

"We have priorities, Myriad. Would you rather use this once in a lifetime item on this dinosaur, or are you patient enough to wait a year, when the true behemoth will awaken?" Jake smiled.

"We have to weigh our choices right. Sometimes, patience is a virtue like no other."

"You are right. But bigger picture aside, we are burning through money right now. And the revenue from the store is dipping considerably. We might have to look at other ways to make money." Myriad Arrows said.

"The expedition will give us everything we need at the moment." Jake said.

"You keep saying that, and yet you are the one that delays the expedition." Myriad Arrows shook his head.

"We are breaking even at the moment. So even if we keep this growth rate up for the next month, the guild isn't going to capsize. Better have some good preparation rather than face defeat." Jake said.

"Our alliance is the last to try their first attempt at the expedition. And since this is a pretty big alliance, all eyes will be on us. Everyone will be watching us, and hoping that we will fail."

"The moment we succeed, the entire world will shake. And we will have to be ready for that. After all, in this expedition, Bright Horizon will be taking an unsurmountable role, and if we execute it right, we will become the best guild in the world." Jake smiled.

"Don't you think you exaggerate a little? Among our other alliance members, we are the weakest in terms of man power. We have the least number of tier two players, and even counting the normal players, we have fewer than all of them." Myriad Arrows pointed out.

"Don't worry about numbers. The expedition will test numbers, but it will also test singular strength. And at times like those, the strongest players will be the ones to shine." Jake said.

"Whatever you say, whatever you say." Myriad Arrows sighed.

"I will go visit the stables and see if the beast master needs any more resources. The dinosaur hatchling is growing pretty fast. Faster than I thought it would." Jake said.

"Do you want to bring it out for this expedition? I don't think it is wise to do that though. It is not strong enough, and it doesn't live forever like we do." Myriad Arrows said.

"It doesn't need to come out just yet. There are a few months left before we will need any external help." Jake said, clicking his tongue.

"And the smithies. Are they keeping up with orders? I want every single one of my guild members to be outfitted with a named set. Rare grade at the least." Jake said.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, You told me that before." Myriad Arrows grumbled.

"That Infinite Pines wanted to kill me when I gave him that order sheet. Do you want to lose all the blacksmiths that you hired?" Myriad Arrows asked.

"He is one of the few that has a rare class in the blacksmith category. Finding an epic class in this category is almost impossible. Someone like him levels up as he forges. He is only going to benefit from this order." Jake said.

"Fine. So then, when do you want to start the expedition itself? Which day?" Myriad Arrows asked.

"Three Days. I will give everyone three more days to get to the second tier if they haven't yet. And to complete whatever quests or missions they have lying around. After that, Bright Horizon will march. Tell the other guilds as well."
