Otherworld Adventure 43 Silvaria Valley Settlement 2

He opened the doors and walked in. Inside the building were the men and women that were part of the Silvaria Valley Settlement Military Department who were currently waiting to give their weekly reports.

There were only 10 people waiting in the lounge and they were the captains and vice captains of the 5 squads that were in charge of the safety and protection of the valley.

The Scouting and Expedition Division's captain Gabriel Silvaria, Vice-captain Madison Stromm. Hunting Division's captain Goodwin Stromm, Vice-captain Ellias Coppernium. Guardian Division's captain Delia Heimdall, Vice-captain Kun Silvaria. SAR Division's captain, Roman Sciezle, Vice-captain Karen Heimdall. And lastly, Intel Division's captain Luca Silvaria, Vice-captain Rhianna Argent.

Everyone in the room was young. The oldest among them was only 25 while the youngest was Luca who was only 15.

In their respective divisions every one of these young leaders had a senior advisor. It was part of Kaiser's plan to nurture these young individual's leaders.h.i.+p and talents.

In this world where life and death hanged in the balance, the old dudes had to step aside and let the young ones take the helm of leaders.h.i.+p. You never know when one of them old guys kick the bucket when they were tasked with an a.s.signment on the field.

Charles immediately addressed them.

"The Patriarch will meet with you now."

The twin's Gabriel and Luca stand up and say in unison.

""Finally, took 'em long enough."" Surprised, they look at each other and high five. They quickly head out of the building alongside everyone else.

Madison, Gabriel's vice-captain, walks next to him and reprimands in a low voice, "Gabe, please remember you're now the captain of a division, make sure to show some formality later. Even though it's your family, you're in an official position now."

"I get it, I get it. You're starting to sound like our advisor, Maddy."

Madison sighed and kept silent.

They soon arrive at the Silvaria's main hall. They take their seat and wait for the matriarch to address them, exactly, the matriarch, not the patriarch.

The family had divided their roles so that the Patriarch would address the internal affairs with the Matriarch as an advisor, while the Matriarch would address military issues with the Patriarch being the advisor.

On the main seat, Anastasia sees that everyone one from the military division were already seated with none of them absent.

"Hunting Division! Your report, please."

Goodwin stood up and gave his report. He quickly finished and sat back down.

"Guardian Division!"

"Intel!"

"Scouts!"

The reports were given quickly and only any major development and issues would be brought up during the meeting, all other issues that were deemed minor would be withheld and the matriarch would read them in the written reports that the vice-captains would submit later.

Anastasia finally turned to the last division and solemnly asked.

"SAR Division, are there any updates regarding the mission that was given?"

Roman and Karen stand up together, but only Roman spoke.

"Ma'am we've been able to find other traces of humans 200 miles from our settlement, but mostly only remains such as bodies and bloodstains. We and the scouting division have tried to head out even further, but we no longer are able to find any traces of living humans anywhere. Based on the Intel department's population consensus, we've already rescued at least 80% of Edelesta city's population. The remaining 20% have been concluded to be deceased or missing..."

"... anything else?"

"and... regarding your son. The Fourth young master and his pet Silver..."

Roman locked eyes with his vice-captain, he could see the worry in her eyes. He sighed and continued,

"We haven't found any traces of them."

He fell silent and waited for the Matriarch's harsh reprimand. It was what the SAR division has been facing ever since its establishment 2 months ago. Not only them, but everyone else in the Military Division braced themselves to be yelled at.

*Sigh*

All they heard was a soft sigh. Everyone took a careful glance at the Matriarch. She was somewhat slumped down in her chair and her impossibly youthful face had a sad tinge to it. It was no longer serious or solemn as before.

Anastasia already expected the report. She no longer wanted to reprimand the children who were working hard for their future. It wasn't their fault that they couldn't find Cecil. Anastasia regained her bearings and said.

"List him and Silver missing and suspend the SAR mission on them. For now the SAR will work together with the scouting division and continue exploring and mapping out the area 1000 kilometers around us and even further. This mission also includes scaling the mountains and hopefully finding out what's over them."

Everyone including the Silvaria family members was surprised to hear her decision. Kaiser who was seated at the side immediately spoke up.

"H-honey..."

"Enough! ...it's been half a year since we've arrived in this G.o.d-forsaken world and Cecil's nowhere to be found. Not even a trace of him was found. No clues. Nothing... It's pointless to continue searching! What we do know however, is that he and Silver are not dead!"

By the end of her speech, Anastasia was somewhat heaving.

Kaiser knew immediately that although that was what she said, his wife still couldn't accept the fact that, despite after 4 months of searching after they've settled into the valley, Cecil was still missing.

Anastasia then continued.

"Thank you everyone. Today's meeting is adjourned. Every division is to keep on with their normal routines and duties! SAR and Scouts are to remain behind and receive new orders."

Everyone besides the 2 divisions stood up and left.

"Alright, since we've already established the fact that nearly all the populace from Edelesta has been found and have settled in the valley or in the other settlements around us... It's time for the SAR division to dissolve."

It was a decision that everyone from the Military Department expected.

"The scouting and expedition division will be separated. The scouting division will remain the same as before. Only the SAR division will now be called the Expedition Division."

Anastasia paused and let her words settle in. She turned towards the new division's captain and continued.

"The expedition division is in charge of creating teams for long term journeys through the plains and into the mountains. Your jobs will be to explore and map out the areas that are farther away from our valley. It will be dangerous, but it is a necessity. We can't have our selves blind to our surroundings. Explore the mountains and plains chart out any dangerous areas and any areas that we can mine and collect resources from."

She then looked towards her son, Gabriel and said.

"The scouting division will remain the same. Scout the areas that have been explored and create a detailed map of the area. Report on any new findings and create a team that will mine the resources from the areas that have collectable resources."

Having received their new duties, the young leaders immediately salute.

""YES MA'AM""

Satisfied with their response, Anastasia dismisses the two divisions and everyone in the hall.

After everyone left the hall, she sighs and slumps down in her chair. Her husband Kaiser immediately picks her up in a princess carry and walks towards the garden in the back of the mansion.

Looking around and finding that no one was around to watch them, Anastasia immediately starts groaning while pounding on her husband's chest.

When they arrive at the garden, Kaiser takes a seat on a wicker chair while still embracing his wife. Anastasia immediately starts to complain.

"Honey... Cecil... he's–"

"It's okay. It's just like you said, there's no way our son is dead. Heck, I bet he's somewhere out there with Silver destroying h.o.a.rds of those monsters! He's strong, so don't worry okay, he'll be fine."

Anastasia immediately laughs at her husband's joke. She looks up to her husband who was also gazing down at her lovingly. She smiles back and says playfully.

"They better be fine... or else I'm going to kill you~"

Kaiser's smile immediately stiffens and he sweats a little. Anastasia then closes her eyes and clasps her hands together.

"I pray that the two of them are safe."

And as for the two in question... they were currently doing exactly what Kaiser had just joked about with his wife.

Back at the Urrugdrasil Continent, deep down in the 10th floor of the Angla Capital City's public ma.s.sive scale dungeon, Cecil, Lucia and Silver was currently duking it out with a large horde of lizard skeleton warriors and necromancers.

Cecil was rus.h.i.+ng towards the h.o.a.rd while giving out orders.

"Lulu! I've got the warriors! You and Silver take care of those pesky necros!"

"Alrighty~!"

"RAAAWWWWWRRRR!!!"
