Re: Evolution Online-Novel

After an hour, everyone became ready and prepared to leave the guild base. Liam first visited Lan Ganjie and notified him about the golems. Out of the 12 golems, he prepared to leave 10 of them back at the guild base.

Lan Ganjie as well nodded and silently accepted the help. The man had seen a lot in his life and knew when to keep his mouth shut and accept whatever was given to him. 

Everyone who was stepping out at the moment currently had family residing in the guild base. They were all about to once again embark into the dangerous world, searching for the nightmarish insects. 

They would be able to do their jobs better if they did not have to worry about their families constantly and had the small consolation that everyone back home was safe and secure. 

While no one could truly give such a feeling in the atmosphere of the current world, these golems came very close to offering that sort of protection.

Liam walked over to each of the ten golems and personally gave them commands to look after the guild territory and protect the guild members.

After that, each golem marched to different corners of the territory and took their place, standing guard vigilantly.

Now there were only two more golems left. Liam decided to bring these two along with him for mainly two reasons. One, he wanted to test out the efficiency of these golems in actual battles, and two, bringing these two Level 100 golems as a backup didn't seem to be a bad idea.

After all, they had no idea about where the other hive hills were located, and Liam did not want to make the same mistake of assuming that he knew everything about the world at the moment.

There could very well be some dangers lurking in corners he had no idea about, and he wanted to be more than prepared for these dangers.

In fact, he would have taken more golems with him, but the problem was their slow speed. After attempting twelve times, he was only able to increase the speed and agility of these last two guys.

They were still slower than Luna and the wyverns, but they had a [Sprint] skill that gave them a speed boost every minute. So these two wouldn't hinder their journey too much.

After settling things with Lan Ganjie and the golems, Liam then walked over to the seventy members of the guild, who had all assembled and were waiting for him. This time there was no one left behind, and this was the full Crimson Abyss attack force.

Amidst the crowd, Liam's eyes searched for one particular person and soon spotted her. Lily was standing in the back of the crowd as if she did not want to be noticed by anyone.

As soon as Liam looked at her, she quickly bent her head down, looking guilty. She also seemed very nervous, almost as if she was afraid Liam wouldn't let her come.

However, Liam sighed and decided to allow her to accompany the group this time too. She had clearly already made a decision to enter combat, so he did not plan on standing in her way. 

Besides, her level now was already 15, and she was no longer so weak that someone had to look over her constantly.

As for the other things… Liam cleared his throat and spoke loudly. "I am not sure when we will be returning, I hope you have all said your goodbyes." 

"I am also not sure how dangerous the next fight is going to be, so if you are here and if you are coming with me, you are on your own. Your safety and your well-being is only in your hands. You are coming at your own risk. Make sure that you understand this."

Everyone nodded silently. Liam had actually expected at least one or two to change their minds, but surprisingly no one did anything like that. Were they thinking this would be a simple level-up session? 

He did not bother explaining anything further. It was better for these people to witness everything themselves and face hardships. If they were always protected, then there would be no growth.

After the small speech, he summoned all the wyverns, and everyone started climbing on top of the big draconian creatures. There were, in total, about seventy of them, but there was still enough space on the ten wyverns for all of them to get settled comfortably.

Liam, Shen Yue, and Mei Mei hopped onto Luna, and with the two golems already geared up to move, the entire group was ready and finally set out of the guild base. 

Together, the big procession was definitely a sight to behold. All the civilians and the family members couldn't help but look at this majestic group with pride in their eyes. 

Inspired by the scene, more and more civilians silently resolved to enlist for the dungeon runs and become one among these core members of the guild. 

Their lives had changed so much in the last few weeks. They too were trying their best to change according to the world. 

And for the first time, they were starting to feel like not all hope was lost. Perhaps they could also become strong and fight back.

Soon, the wyverns in the sky disappeared from eyesight, and the golems sprinting along on the ground also vanished into the distance. Everyone returned back to their day and the tasks they had to finish to earn their daily meals.

Only the ten golden golems still stood tall and proud, keeping a watch over the entire guild base. If one had enough mana affinity, they could clearly feel the massive pools of mana gathering around these golems. 

Even when they were idle, they were constantly revving up as if they were preparing to go into battle at any given instant.

Naturally, such a big, eye-catching marvel did not escape the notice of a certain fairy inside the magic shop. "His growth is really too fast!" Tilia murmured in deep thought.
