Chapter 166: Guild Arrangements


    Adam was curious about Eddy''s berserk skill, and even wondered if Eddy had been conscious he used it. However, after asking Adam learned that Eddy was able to use this skill thanks to his SS ss which allowed him to use Berserk skills.


    Although Adam was a little disappointed, as it could have meant producing berserk skills for all their members, he moved on and took the lead of the guild. After some reassuring from his eight Division Leaders, all the rookies in the guild had been convinced this was really their guild leader.


    It was definitely very impressive to see 100 000 people moving out together, even the Azure Sky Kingdom would have to gather all the guards within the capital to gather such a big army. Of course, their soldiers would be higher leveled, and there were still the soldiers present in the other cities, but it still showed how impressive it was.


    Adam didn''t tell anyone what his ns were, and just lead everyone to a destination he had chosen for a long time. However, as they arrived near a big river, everyone behind him looked troubled.


    There was a big river in front of them that was twenty meters in width, and there were no bridges in sight. Although most of the guild members knew how to swim, the current was strong, and there would be monsters underwater.


    But Adam didn''t stop, and as he ced his foot on the water, instead of diving, his foot stopped on the water. However, at the same time ice spread out, and in an instant the 50 meters in front of him had been frozen.


    An ice bridge appeared in front of everyone, resolving their problem. The rookies looked at their guild leader with even more admiration than before, while his Division Leaders looked even more depressed, the gap between them was even wider than they originally thought.


    They were even more surprised when they found out the ice wasn''t slippery at all, which was something that would have been worrying considering they were all very heavy since they all had armors on.


    As the army left the river behind, the ice began quickly melting and Neith appeared from underground. As she appeared, she began training. Adam had asked her to create a permanent bridge so that they wouldn''t have to worry about how they woulde back.


    Back to Adam and the rest of his guild, they quickly arrived at a big area. Here, one could see monsters going from Level 10 to Level 60, and of different kinds. Adam stopped his guild members before entering the area, and finally told everyone what his training n was.


    Adam preferred quality to quantity, and that''s why the training program of his guild was going to b ruthlessly hard. Every guild member would have to train in this area until they reached Level 50. When they do that, they would be allowed to start their promotion quest, and only those who sessfully became Silver Ranks would be allowed to leave the training grounds.


    But the training itself was going to be very hard. Every recruit would have to start fighting monsters that were 2 levels ahead of them. While they fought, no help would be provided, meaning that even if they were on the verge of dying, even if they were SS sses they wouldn''t be helped.


    When they heard this, many of the people in the crowd paled, obviously scared. But Adam didn''t care about them and simply continued.


    If they were able to leave with their life, they would be allowed to rest and recover before being sent back to fight against the monsters. Only when they were able to kill monsters two levels higher than themfortably would they be allowed to fight against stronger opponents.


    While they were in the training period, the guild members would be treated as nothing but cannon fodder. Only when one became Level 50 and was able to fight enemies 5 levels ahead of themselves would they be allowed to take their Promotion Quest.


    If they seeded, then they would be promoted to the Elite Status, and be allowed to join the guild and leave the training grounds. Then, if one wanted to go higher up the ranks one would need to have a good talent.


    The ranks above Elite was Captain, Commander and Division Leaders. However, only the Guild Leader could appoint a Division Leader. As for Captain and Commander, one would have to show sufficient talent in a certain area.


    But that wouldn''t be for now, as none of them were even close to reaching Level 50. Following Adam''s instructions, the highest leveled ones in the crowd were Level 30, ignoring his Division Leaders of course.


    As for their living expenses, they would have to find food by themselves, their training consisted of hunting monsters after all. As for the Vegetarian ones, there was a big forest nearby within which they would be able to find food too.


    The guild would also pay for their sleeping arrangements though, at first they would sleep in cheap hotels in Ember City, although there were 100 000 people here, one tenth of them, almost all the yers, had already left because they felt asking them to fight monsters five levels stronger was unreasonable.


    For 90 000 members, Adam was receiving 500 Gold Coins every week from his mine. Although 90 000 people was a big number, 500 Golds was actually quite a sum, it was like 5 millions Copper Coins, and a night in a cheap hotel was between 1 and 3 Copper Coins.


    Moreover, that would only be for the beginning of the training. Adam expected at least half of the rookies to die by the end of the week, meaning from the 2nd week on he would only have to pay for the amodation of less than 50 000 people.


    If he could, Adam also wanted to start building a small settlement near the training area, so that his guild members wouldn''t have to go to and from Ember City every day. Getting a permit for starting to build from Henry shouldn''t be a problem, and Adam wasn''t even sure he would need it since it was only a temporary settlement anyway.


    When Adam finished giving his instructions, almost all the yers had left, leaving 90 000 people, but for the NPCs none of them had left.


    This was because this wasn''t surprising to them. Actually, it was a good opportunity. Although Adam had said they wouldn''t be able to receive anyone''s help, it was still much better than training by oneself in the wilderness.


    While one couldn''t get help from someone else to deal with the monster they are facing, they won''t have to worry about other monsters ambushing them in the middle of their fights.


    If they wanted to train in the wilderness, there were many things that could kill them, like running into a higher leveled monster or a big pack. But here, they would be able to train freely. As for those who would die the vast majority of rookies were Northmen, and they would rather die trying than leave now.


    As the rookies began swarming the area, Adam had his Division Leaders start observing the ones who had the best talents, and form their own divisions. They would be free to select who would be able to be Captains and Commanders.


    Once he was done giving all his instructions, it was already night, so Adam returned to the City with the rest of his guild, and gave a few hundred Gold Coins to his Division Leaders and let them arrange everything for the guild members, before joining an Inn himself and logging out.
