27 Gathering forces (2/2)

”Gather all the women here,” Raymond commanded the five.

...

While waiting for the women to gather Raymond started to think about why he wasn't feeling anything when he heard that women were captured by hobgoblins. He knew based on the novels he read what goblins did to human women. Yet despite that, he wasn't feeling all that bad, in fact he was actually grateful for this event to come to him when he needed it.

'I know these people are real, and this is not a game... But... I just can't see them as being the same human species as me. What's wrong with me?...'

Before he could delve deeper into this thought, Raymond decided to put that thought in the back of his mind for now and started talking to the system instead.

'Hey, are there still game streamers in the future?'

'Of course, there are. In the advent of the full dive VR, they became more popular than ever.'

'Can you convert the Gold Coins I have into whatever currency they have in the future?'

'I can,' hearing the system's response Raymond couldn't help but smile.

...

After waiting for a while everyone in the Guild has gathered in the main square where the pole that had the banner of the Guild was located. Raymond stood in front of the thirty people present and spoke in a voice that was loud enough for everyone to hear.

”I have gathered everyone here to ask for your help. It has come to my attention that some unfortunate souls have been captured by monsters, and I wish to save them. But with my strength alone, I won't be able to do that. I know most of you have been through traumatic experiences and I won't fault you if you do not wish to help. But if you wish to save these poor souls the same way I saved you, I will grant you the power to fight! So who wishes to join me?!”

Without any hesitation, all of the women stepped forward as well as the current guild members. Raymond nodded his head and began the process of making them into guild members. After everyone had become Guild Members and chose their classes, Raymond made another announcement.

”I now know everyone is eager to help but we cannot strike yet. We need more reinforcements so tomorrow I plan to summon warriors from another world.”
