The game has become a real alternate world
Chapter 1172 - 809: Futures _2
Not to mention, the Teleportation Array is the most precious among all kinds of transportation, using it to transport new recruits is really a loss.
Especially now.
Of course, such words cannot be spoken out loud.
We must not shatter the image of the Night Watchers in the hearts of these new recruits from the start.
Pokanasha nodded seemingly understanding some and sniffed the air: "Hmm... makes sense. Just like grandma said, haste makes waste, right? So... is there a place to practice archery on the ship?" This was her biggest concern.
The Elves are talented in Archery and Magic.
Although she’s part of the Elf Blood Race, her talent in this area hasn’t fallen behind.
However, her greater talent lies in healing magic—she can heal through Blood Magic, which is her specialty.
Tokke’s eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, yes! Theoretical classes on the ship? Instructor, can you explain the structure of the ’Rock Breaker’ heavy armor-piercing shotgun first?"
The House of Children was built by the Night Watchers.
The orphans inside have many very talented individuals, so in cultural classes, they also talk about various Alchemy progressions to spark interest.
This helps nurture their interest early, giving them a certain goal from a young age.
Adam quietly listened, and Instructor Horn’s words confirmed his thoughts.
This long journey is not just a physical movement but also a mental preparation.
The current process of the Night Watchers to train new recruits is already very mature.
He looked at his companions beside him who were excitedly discussing, pretending to be profound, or worried about training, and took a deep breath of the strong ocean air.
A new life has indeed begun.
Life on the ship quickly got on track, but life on the ship was also indeed hard to endure.
However, for these new recruits, the excitement and daily training eased this hardship quite a bit.
The deck has become a natural training ground.
In the morning, under the stern whistle of the instructor, the new recruits endured the sea breeze for physical training and queues.
The morning usually consists of theoretical classes, in the spacious yet slightly cramped lower deck, learning about Night Watcher’s history, basic battlefield communication norms, fundamentals of Alchemy emergency care, and demon illustrations of different races.
The Night Watcher’s textbooks are adjusted according to the various problems currently faced by the Night Watchers.
For example, several years ago, they would focus on the understanding of Ratmen, various Evil Gods, and all kinds of fanatic Clans.
But with the complete establishment of Ring Tower City, with the Blood Calamity being eradicated, and with the Night Watcher’s leader Kana becoming a God.
Such knowledge is no longer the most urgent, its importance has fallen significantly, and can be learned slowly later.
Currently, Demonic knowledge, which was originally part of this, has been brought forward and has become one of the most important knowledge.
This includes knowledge of the Abyss in various aspects and some strange beasts encountered by the expedition team that might be compiled and written in recent times.
In the afternoon is basic weapon familiarization and combat training, with the sound of wooden swords and blunt weapons clashing along with the sound of waves.
Of course, there’s also various training Magic Power Weapons and all kinds of bows and crossbows.
The Flying Squirrel finally realized that on a limited space like the deck, his fancy sword moves called "Dance of the Abyss" might crash into the ship’s rail before he can execute them, forcing him to start learning more basic combat stances.
What? You say it’s because of the instructor’s tyranny?
Impossible!
Tokke badgered the ship’s weapon technician, asking questions mainly because he wanted to touch the real Magic Power Weapons, even the newest model at his waist.
Eva showcased the superior balance and agility of the Leopard-man Blood Race, shining brightly in the moving deck obstacle course.
Pokanasha’s learning speed was astounding, her race’s talent as an Elf Blood Race enabled her to grasp theoretical knowledge rapidly.
Moreover, her talent had already been recorded in the archive at the House of Children, these training instructors were well aware.
So, they also conducted various magical and blood-related medicinal teachings.
She even became the true favorite among the group of instructors because she’s really small - at least in appearance.
Even though her mind matured a bit more than her appearance due to growing up with Adam and the others, she still appeared somewhat naïve and pure because of the elves’ long lifespan.
Adam, as always, was steady and efficient, becoming the temporary leader of several cabin teams.
From the start, the instructors aimed to nurture Adam towards being a Tactical Master and a captain of the Soul Guardian squad.
They even focused on guiding him in deployment strategies.
Because Adam indeed was a boy who displayed leader-like qualities from a young age, and his childhood experiences before becoming Blood Race had long been uncovered and well-known by the Night Watchers.
The reason these few children received such attention.
Is naturally because the higher-ups in the Night Watcher leadership added extra quotas.
The person who marked them need not be said much.
It was Kana.
In the games of the past, those already emerging hero characters, Kana never lets go.
He had long sorted out the people he knows, and the Night Watchers’ intelligence network spans the globe, with nodes everywhere connecting to the Adventurer’s House and the Night Watchers.
Looking for someone is easy for them.
However, because of his arrival, the flapping wings of a butterfly have long changed the world beyond recognition.
Many hero characters who grew up later already became a part of the Night Watchers early, and even some became children of Night Watchers when they were very young.
This information kept Kana excited for a long time.
So, nearly a month of sailing passed.
One morning, as the horizon began to unveil the first hints of dawn’s light, the lookout at the mast’s top suddenly blew a long, distinctive horn.
"Fleet! Reinforcement fleet spotted!" The lookout’s voice came through clearly amidst the sound of flapping sails.
More information had already been spread through internal channels.
The new recruits poured onto the deck, crowding around the rail.
On the distant horizon, a massive fleet composed of over a dozen equally enormous "Rock-class" and slightly smaller escort ships was slicing through the waves, meticulously sailing towards them.
The prominent Night Watcher torch insignia on the ship’s hull gleamed brightly in the morning sun.
"It’s new recruits assembled from other continents!"
Instructor Horn’s voice, ever so slightly, flickered with an almost undetectable trace of passion, "Storm Harbor, Morning Star Island, Quicksand Barrier... they’re all here. It seems that the torch of Ring Tower City needs another log." This was a metaphor.
The two massive fleets slowly drew closer and eventually merged.
Dozens of gigantic ships covered the expansive sea, forming an incredibly majestic steel tide advancing towards Ring Tower City.
From Candlelight City, from the Tate Continent, from commercial ports of Sapphire Archipelago, from the Anwein Continent... faces of young people with different skin colors and races, but all bearing the sword and torch mark on their arms, gazed at each other from their respective decks, curious and brimming with fighting spirit as they scrutinized each other.
The buzzing discussions gathered on the sea surface, forming a lively hum.
"Wow! So many people!"
Pokanasha gleefully waved her little hand, trying to see the people on the ship opposite.
"My goodness! This is going to be lively!" Tokke said, rubbing his fists and palms together, "I wonder if the new recruits’ meals from other places are the same as ours?"
With different races and regions, some rations are different, for example, in the House of Children, especially with many Blood Race children around them.
This led their diet to include many mixed with blood from different creatures.
The Flying Squirrel crossed his arms, feigning calm: "Hmph, it’s merely more onlookers witnessing the rise of my power... However, the momentum of this fleet... does indeed carry a certain dark majesty..." He rarely refrained from being entirely boastful.
Eva stood beside Adam, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the immense fleet that gathered the future of the Night Watchers, her leopard tail swaying lightly: "Look, Adam! We... are truly about to become one of them!" Her voice was full of longing and a hint of leopard pride.
Adam nodded vigorously, the silhouette of the grand fleet under the morning sun reflected in his red eyes.
The new recruits from Candlelight City had already merged into this current that carried infinite hopes and determination, sailing towards Ring Tower City, towards the flames of war and protection.
The days in the new recruits camp are still far off, but on this vast sea, their journey has already begun.
The future Night Watchers are gathering!
