Info: It might look like a spear but it is not possible to use it as one. It is designed to be used as one-time ammunition of the Sealer of Gods and can guarantee a kill on anything as long as it is not immortal or invincible once fired. Although it is a one-time use it can be used again as ammunition if retrieved successfully, otherwise, use it wisely.

Note: Isn't that a Monster H*nter reference?

I don't think this is a reference to the Monster H*nter reference but it was indeed looking similar to the gunl*nce from that same game. The difference is that it lacks the "gun" part.

"This might look like a weapon but this is not meant to be one. We will use the Sealer of Gods and use this as ammunition and fire it to the monster that I mentioned earlier. You have read the description, right? It can kill anything as long as it isn't immortal. And since our target is not immortal, we will use this as an advantage to continue our expedition and get rid of at least one problematic behemoth that blocks our way. Now go. The queens are already prepared to depart right? If everything is ready and good to go, we can now begin our expedition."

I nodded and I head to the two queens on the barracks to report the new item that was added and how it can increase our chances of success. Queen Tanya then ordered everyone to begin the final preparation as we are going to depart tomorrow. After that, Queen Tanya decided that we should rest as that might be our last peaceful rest for the rest of the expedition. Almira also suggested that to me so I decided to agree and log out.

After that, I informed everyone who will be coming with me to the expedition to ready themselves as we will begin the expedition and since it will take a long while before it can be finished, our only time to log out is during the time we are going to rest and the only safe place to log out is inside the Carriage where it will become the "save point" for everyone. I also told my parents about it and they nodded in agreement.

I am not worried about not eating while playing since we will not get any kind of complications once we play for long periods. It's just that we needed to get out of the game sometimes as that is still bad gaming habits. Just because we won't get sick doesn't mean we should stay and overuse it.

With everyone informed, I went to bed and closed my eyes. For some unknown reason, it felt like something big will happen in the expedition and because this is something new to me due to how this event didn't exist in the past timeline, there is no way I can predict anything happening. Everything I know will not be useful here except for my combat capabilities.

This time, we are going in, blind.

...

...

The next day, the expedition team is finally ready to depart. My parents and my friends are also now along with us too and due to the grand scale of the event, many players tried to check if this event is available for them. However...

"SCRAM! Adventurers who are not qualified to follow the caravan and expedition team will be forced to be thrown back or executed on the spot!" one of the guards warned.

Still, since they are players, they think the guards are just some sort of small mechanism that will only repeat words they are programmed with and decided to sneak in. However, due to this behavior, the NPCs decided not to be toyed by them anymore. One paladin tried to get past them and since he has a shield, he is invulnerable if he can block the attacks of the soldiers. But that was just the case if he CAN block the attack.

A fast crossbow bolt darted and hit squarely on the paladin's forehead, killing him immediately. A Ninja also decided to check and try sneaking by using [Stealth] and [Ninjutsu Art: Blend] but it also didn't work as another crossbow bolt darted and the invincible ninja was immediately stripped off the rights and also died.

Seeing that the soldiers were serious about killing players once they are provoked, they decided to drop the matter and left allowing us to properly sigh in relief seeing that the guards are doing their job. It was a good thing we stayed inside the carriage instead of being outside. It will give an attraction to many players that some players got the privilege to join a big raid that is not announced to the public. I can also assume that those adventurers are not going to give up so soon. No wonder Queen Tina formed the Sniper Squad. Due to the confidentiality of the situation, anyone who will try to tail us will be immediately eliminated, leaving the incognito status of the expedition's purpose.

"I never expected that I can join in something so grand like this. I can only do normal quests by some NPCs but a story quest like this is something I have not even expected in the slightest," Sigma decided to start a conversation and break the silence inside the carriage.

"Bladeheart did most of the work and its also thanks to him that we have the special privilege to experience this expedition first hand. If he didn't even have the slightest connection to Queen Tanya, there is no way we will be joining this raid either," Dolly answered, and to be honest, she is right. Without my small help, they will not be able to do anything at all and get some chances to join a big expedition that has multiple raids and tons of rewards.

"Son, I don't know how you do this but perhaps our genes have been transferred successfully to you. You make me proud son," Father said as he pats my back repeatedly that I will choke once he starts patting me a few more times again.

Everyone is cheerful and everyone is also fully geared. Not only do I give them items, but I also gave them new equipment that will allow them to survive the expedition, especially to the low leveled players like my parents and Hagane. They aren't going to properly contribute if they easily die on the field and with the harsh conditions of the place and the strong monsters, just being there is a big spell for courting death. Thankfully, I managed to mitigate that and they can now contribute a bit. Also, with their contribution, they can also earn enough levels from the battles here that it is basically a good way to raise their levels faster and catch up to everyone else.

The carriage starts to run and we can hear the sound of the engines running. Since we are going to the freezing desert, a horse is pretty much a bad idea. Instead, the pullers these time around are the personal pets of Queen Tina, the Giant Snow Polar Bears. She personally raised them and her army also decided to do tame a few, allowing them to become the new horses of the Polar Regions, With no horses to carry the carriages, the Giant Snow Polar Bears are all good idea to move around the frozen region.

It didn't take a long time before we hit the cold and freezing region of Sandurk. I don't feel cold since my armor is warm enough to be able to absorb the coldness of the surroundings. As for the others, they are also warm and comfy as I made sure their armor can also withstand the cold. They can't fight if they are shivering in the cold and they will die if they can't even attack. A good clothes design will help in the long run, especially in battles.

The soldiers are also pretty covered from head to toe too and not just us. This was a full preparation for the Frozen Region and with the help of Queen Tina, most of Queen Tanya's soldiers immediately understood the importance of the clothes in the freezing place.

BANG! BANG!

Hagane decided to peek outside and saw the snipers are shooting someone from a distance. I doubt he can see anything due to the fog and white color of snow, but we can easily tell that they have shot down a few players who decided to tail us. I am right that they will tail anyone as long as they can do it. With this mysterious event, they also wanted a piece of the pie too.

"Everyone, this is going to be a hard battle. Once a confrontation begins, be sure to keep safe because dying here will be really painful. It isn't going to help us much in the battle but we can keep ourselves alive without the risk of being killed in the process. Once we are now needed, we will fight immediately."

Soon, we heard some cries from the front of the caravan.

"Monster horde in the distance! Everyone! Prepare for defensive and offensive assault!"
