Now that all three combat teams with a total of 33 guild members had a class, the hunt of the remaining monsters inside the E-rank gate went a lot faster.
By the end of the hunt, most got somewhat used to their new classes and new team dynamics.
Although the teams had the same people in them, it was certainly different now that everyone had a class and different kinds of weapons and skills.

After clearing the monster in the E-rank gate, they all went home to rest. Tomorrow was a big day for them.
Lucas headed to the guild to talk about everything that happened today with his executives.
Grishna and Elara had been by his side all day and still were during the meetings.
Krasbert was with them inside the gate, but he was unsummoned after that. He only enjoyed fighting and resting.
Ghost had been at Affoltern all day, hunting D-rank monsters. Thanks to that he reached level 16.
William was busy making potions the whole day. Sadly only killing monsters gave him exp.
Albert had been very busy making equipment and accomplished a lot today.
He made 21 F-rank equipment, 15 E-rank equipment and 4 D-rank equipment.
The F-ranks each gave about 100-200exp, the E-ranks gave 500-1000exp and the D-ranks gave 2000-5000exp.
Thanks to all that work, Albert went from level 8 to level 11.
Lucas talked to Francesco about his recruitment plans.
"I want you to let everyone know that we aren't only looking for awakened for combat. We also need awakened for other jobs like blacksmiths."
"Understood, I will make it happen."
"And after we take care of Affoltern tomorrow, make sure that the whole country knows about it and everyone will want to join the Helios guild."
"Of course guild master."
After some more discussions with the department heads, Lucas headed home to rest.
'Tomorrow is a big day.'
***
The next day.
Lucas was inside the guild building with all the combat teams, ready to leave.
After some strategy talks with everyone, including the strategy team, they left with their new military sanctioned vehicles.
Lucas, 33 combat guild members, a strategy team, a large logistics team and a media team of the Helios guild soon arrived at the city border.
The military personnel and few association members stationed there already knew about the guild's expedition, so they let them through.
Before this expedition, Lucas invested more in their media department. They now had over 40 members with different professions, including cameramen and reporters.
Of course they only showed what the guild wanted them to.
They also worked together with the information department to make sure that everything went right.
The media department now had a small station with people who could watch over everything from there.
Small crews would follow the combat teams today to let the country know about their strength without showing too much.
They also had drones which filmed from the sky.

When they were inside Affoltern, Lucas and the combat teams split up.
Lucas headed for the D-rank goblin colony gate with his avatars. Ghost would take care of the D-rank kobold cave gates.
William was also capable of moving alone, but Lucas wanted to have him by his side in case something unexpected happened.
The three combat teams planned to move together to clear the E-rank gates one by one and later split up to deal with the F-ranks.
Lucas was confident that after today, everyone would be much stronger. Not just due to fighting experience or level ups, but because they would get rewards from clearing so many gates.
***
This was the first time Lucas took on a goblin colony without Ghost.
Lucas, William, Grishna, Krasbert and Elara annihilated the whole goblin colony in less than 30 minutes.
William's spells were the biggest influence.
He not only created all kinds of plans that either pierced and killed countless goblins, but he could also entrap very large groups of them.
And not just plant magic, but he could create all kinds of spells of different elements that had a lot of attack power.
Even Lucas couldn't kill as many monsters as him.
After clearing the gate, William reached level 13 and Lucas got 10 attribute points as a reward.
The association ordered before hand that they want all gate cores destroyed, since they couldn't maintain the gates in that city.
When Lucas was out of the gate, he got the news that the combat teams were now clearing their second E-rank gate.
And he got a message from Ghost that he also already cleared a D-rank gate and was on his way to the second.
The media crews of the guild could sadly only film the hunt of the monsters that had broken out of the gate and couldn't go inside.
Although normal people could technically enter gates, cameras and such wouldn't work.
Lucas soon headed for the monster desert gate. He first took care of all the red desert scorpions that had broken out, before entering the gate.
This time him and his avatars split up since the monsters weren't all in one place and he still wanted everyone to get exp.
When Lucas encountered the sand golem, who was this gate's boss, he managed to kill it with just two swings of his sword infused with some mana.
'To think I struggled so much against this before.'
