Liu Yang was impressed by how many players were trying to level off while going on the expedition. His arrival did not catch the attention of others, as it was normal for someone to get the expedition quest.

After searching for some time, Liu Yang managed to find a good place to sit, he was away from the other players. Most of the players were talking and laughing in groups, while there were also players like Liu Yang who prefer to be alone.

The minute that pa.s.sed, more and more players were showing up.

Some hours later…

The place was already full of players between levels 150-300.

Tong… Tong…

A loud sound was heard after a few hours pa.s.sed. This signaled that the selection time was up for the expedition quest.

A group of several hundred people, who were wearing steel armor, appeared on the stage in front of the crowd, the group looked at the players as if looking at a group of ants. The middle-aged man in front of the group took a few steps forward.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Kaden Morton, but also known as General Morton. I will speak a few words to you before your respective commanders come to take you on the expedition.

As adventurers chose to be part of this large group, I hope you will follow the army rules so there are no problems like last time. Otherwise, those who break the rules will suffer severe punishment. "Finis.h.i.+ng speaking, the general waved his hand, and the group behind him walked forward.

"These people behind me will be your future commanders, for the next three months, you will be under their orders as soldiers, their orders are absolute. Each expedition group will have a total of five hundred members and one commander, they will separate you as best they can. In two hours the expedition will begin, you will have this time to rest "

The general left after speaking his speech, he disappeared from the stage. The commanders were looking at each of the players, after a good look, they also left.

After the group left, the players just continued what they were doing until the two hours had pa.s.sed.

…

Two hours later…

The commanders returned to the stage, each holding a piece of paper.

"Soldiers, attention !!!" One of the commanders shouted, the players got up and stood neatly in front of the stage.

"Nice to meet you guys, my name is Trever Raid, I"m one of the army commanders, the five hundred people I call will be part of my group on the expedition." A 30- to 33-year-old man spoke, he was wearing a heavy armor set.

…

"Nice to meet you guys, my name is Nancy Shally, I"m one of the army commanders, the five hundred people I call will be part of my group on the expedition." One middle-aged woman said she was wearing a set of steel armor.

…

"Nice to meet you guys, my name is Amaya Withers, I"m one of the army commanders, the five hundred people I call will be part of my group on the expedition." A 25-27-year-old girl spoke, she wore a set of iron armor.

…

The one hundred commanders came forward one by one, then called the five hundred names for their groups.

Liu Yang was called by a commander named Erich Cotton, he was a middle-aged man who wore a set of heavy armor along with a large s.h.i.+eld on his back. Luckily, the commander was calling the players by the nicknames the players spoke before, not by name, this gave Liu Yang little more security and privacy.

A hundred groups were formed and separated, each of which was divided into ten rows of fifty people.

"We will be leaving soon, you will have twenty minutes to prepare and appear at the designated location. You are dismissed. "One of the commanders said. A hundred commanders left the stage immediately.

Players also began to leave the scene and go to where the commanders ordered them to go.

The place where Liu Yang and his group was a.s.signed was at the eastern exit of Crystal City, while the other groups were elsewhere. When the group arrived at the scene, a large group of NPCs was already waiting there, they were soldiers who would also partic.i.p.ate in the expedition.

Both sides greeted each other as teammates as they would have to work together during the quest. Members of the two groups talked during their free time to try to get to know each other better.

As a shy and more introvert person, Liu Yang declined to join the conversation, he sat in a corner while looking at some information on the community page.

Sometime later…

Tong… Tong…

The sound of the bell was heard, and the sounds of running horses were heard shortly thereafter.

"Attention !!!" A middle-aged man appeared at the east exit, he was wearing a set of heavy armor and was riding a warhorse. He was Commander Erich Cotton.

When the players and the NPCs heard the scream, everyone immediately ordered themselves.

"Very good, I see you know a little about military behaviors. Okay, let"s start our trip to the Crystalline Cave! "Erich Cotton shouted, his warhorse began to ride as he was followed by ten soldiers, each wearing a different outfit.

Hearing the commander"s words, the soldiers began to walk, they closely followed the commander.

This scene was also happening in ninety-nine other locations.

…

The path to the Crystalline Cave was quite practical, as it only needed to travel through the valley to the end, and a gigantic hole in a valley wall would be seen. The interior of the cave was brilliant because of the crystals that were exposed, this was the Crystalline Cave.

The Crystalline Cave was divided into three zones, initial, intermediate and final. Each of these areas had a creature type, and their levels varied. Each zone represented one level of the expedition quest.

It took the groups a few hours to get to the entrance, as they were walking, and only the commanders and the ten soldiers behind them could use the horses or some kind of mount.

The trip was smooth, as there were a lot of players who had much higher levels than the creatures that inhabit the Crystal Valley.

"Soldiers, we have arrived, this is Crystalline Cave. Before we enter, I will separate you into ten groups, each group will have fifty people, and each group will be led by one of my subordinates. "Erich Cotton spoke after the group arrived at the cave entrance.

There were already many people coming in and out of the cave, they were players who were in place to get wealth, but none of them took the expedition quest. None of them were surprised to see this scene, as they were already used to it.
