"Yes captain, What else can i do?" asked Anne, Leo nodded as nothing and Anne left the room, and after a few hours Henry came to the castle door and was invited inside after Leo's approval and he came into Leo's room and asked, "I am here Captain what's going on here?".
"It's time Henry i will be outside roaming for about 3 months, but i will give u some work to do here, you will be left in Charge and make sure it's done before 3 months because our Guild income depends on it" replied Leo. "What are you planning on doing Captain?" asked Henry, Leo turned towards the other side of the room and looked at a servant who was cleaning the room on the other side and said, "Miss, can you please ask Baron to come in here", "Yes Sir," she bowed down a bit and left to call Baron.
After sometime Baron walked inside the room but this time he was not alone, beside her was a woman standing wearing a suit and she had long ears like elves and her beauty was astounding but this is not something new for Leo as this elve might be beautiful but she was nothing compared to Rosy but apart from Rosy this elf would be considered more preety than the Queen herself, and the Aura and power emitting from her was more amazing, "She was strong maybe stronger than anyone here apart from the Queen", Leo thought to himself.
"You called your highness", both the elf and Baron bowed down and Baron was the one who spoke, "Yes, Baron just call me Captain rather than this highness stuff, and may I know what's going on here", replied Leo and Baron spoke, "As you wish Captain, this here is Jenny she is the best bodyguard here and has been assigned to you as a guard to protect you all time".
"Ok, well i could use the help and protection" , Leo didn't want to lose the opportunity to get a powerful NPC as his guard and win her trust as she will be useful in future, Leo thought all this when he spoke and continued further, "And this is Henry here, Baron when i am gone he will be in charge and whatever i say here should be stayed in this room for few weeks and hidden until i officially announce it to public.
So Leo started speaking about how there will be an entrance fee for any outsider who wants to enter the City and prices for outsiders will be increased on the products whereas the prices for residents of the city and XScythe member will be the same and also there will be an increase in taxes for the merchant which will see an increase in revenue and then revealed the important announcement that was going to be held for the guild members, hearing the announcement they seemed excited on what's planned ahead.

Baron and Henry went ahead to prepare leaving Jenny and Leo in the room alone.
"May i know what you specialise in like a sword, bows or anything else?" asked Leo. "Most elves use Bows but i prefer sword", replied Jenny with a slow voice, Leo was excited so he asked her to have a spar with him and they agreed and started having a spar in the training room in the castle.
Both of them stopped after a few hours and lay down on the ground of the training room itself, "You are amazing Captain" said Jenny, "If i am how come i couldn't beat you?" Leo sarcastically replied. Both started giggling and went on to freshen up and like this few days passed, Every day Leo would spar with Jenny, not once could he beat her, she was that strong.
After a week Leo could see all the 500 positions in the Guild were filled and he called Rosy and Anne to the city and informed everyone in the Guild chat, "This is your captain Leo speaking and i would officially like to welcome all the new members of the Guild and everyone is invited in the underground City Mumba tommorow as there is a small celebration for the new people and an exciting announcement so it is compulsory required for everyone of the Guild Members to attend." Leo ended the notification and the next day everyone came to the city Mumba and it was decorated every corner there were snacks in every corner and drinks and music and people of the city were dancing and enjoying another celebration. After some time when everyone was enjoying all the 500 guild members Leo sent another text in the Group chat, "Everyone to be present in the castle garden in 5 minutes". After 5 minutes the Castle Garden was filled with people, as Rosy came up to Leo and hugged him, "It's been a long time, how are you" , rosy said and kissed him, "I was a bit bust sorry, so after this announcement how about we both go alone and enjoy?" asked Leo, to which rosy replied with a nod. Seeing everyone was here, Leo came in the front and started speaking.
"Jenny can you do a sound proofing spell around us please?" Leo asked Jenny as she nodded and cast a spell around them, and Leo continued,
"First of all i would like to welcome everyone again to the Guild and i won't waste anymore time, i am X the Guild master, everyone of you can just call me Captain, now as u can see we are only 500 but all these 500 are strong, now we have quite a few spots open in the top position of the guild so to fill those spots we have decided to host a tournament, that's right a fighting tournament amongst guild members it will be a friendly battle, it will begin in 3 months the main event, and only 32 people will be chosen from the 500, and those 32 will begin fighting amongst themselves to gain the top spot, the final victor.
