BXBX NOVEL Chapter 376 Expedition
Days turned into weeks and soon, it\'s been a month since the plan for colonization was hatched.
The Mystic Guild was bustling with activity as the preparations for the expedition to Arithia were underway. Supplies were being loaded onto the transport ships, maps were being studied, and equipment was being tested and double-checked.
The colonization team was already formed. It consists of many experts in different fields. This way, they could cover for most of their shortcomings and they could keep things moving.
News about the colonization was kept under wraps. Ashton and the rest of the Mystic Guild\'s staff didn\'t think that it was the time yet to reveal this matter to the world, especially since this is just their first expedition with the intent of colonizing a planet.
Ashton oversaw the preparations, ensuring that everything was in order. The Grand Commanders were also present, lending their expertise and support. The guild members were organized into teams, with each team having its own set of responsibilities.
The logistics team was responsible for ensuring that the necessary supplies were loaded onto the transport ships. This included food, water, medical supplies, tools, and equipment. The medical team was responsible for ensuring that the necessary medical supplies were on board and that the medical staff was trained and prepared for any medical emergencies that might arise during the expedition.
The navigation team was responsible for studying the maps of Arithia and planning the best route for the expedition. They also worked with the pilots to ensure that the transport ships were properly equipped for the journey.
The engineering team was responsible for ensuring that the equipment was properly maintained and in good working condition. They also worked with the navigation team to ensure that the transport ships were properly equipped with the necessary technology for the journey.
Ashton met with each team leader to ensure that their teams were properly prepared and that all necessary preparations had been made. He emphasized the importance of each team\'s role in the success of the expedition and encouraged them to work together.
The preparations continued for several days until everything was ready. The transport ships were loaded with supplies and equipment, the medical staff was trained and prepared, and the teams were ready for the journey ahead. With everything in order, Ashton gave the signal to depart, and the expedition to Arithia began.
The ship that the crew of the Mystic Guild was using is called the Phoenix Voyager. It is a state-of-the-art ship that was specially designed for long-distance space travel. The ship\'s body is sleek and aerodynamic, with a shiny, metallic silver finish that reflects the light of the stars. It is equipped with advanced engines and thrusters that allow it to travel at incredible speeds, cutting the travel time by almost half.
The Phoenix Voyager is also designed to be self-sustaining, with a sophisticated life support system that can sustain the crew for months on end. It has a large cargo hold that can carry all the necessary supplies and equipment needed for the expedition, as well as a laboratory and workshop for scientific research and development.
The ship is also armed with state-of-the-art defensive and offensive weapons, just in case they encounter any hostile entities in space. The crew can access all the ship\'s functions through a central control panel, which displays all the vital information about the ship\'s condition, trajectory, and speed.
Overall, the Phoenix Voyager is a marvel of modern engineering and design, and the crew of the Mystic Guild is lucky to have such a powerful and reliable ship for their expedition to the planet Arithia.
Arithia, the rich planet they had discovered through Ashton\'s dream scouting. The journey to Arithia is long and perilous, with many dangers lurking in the depths of space. The distance between the Blue Marble Planet and Arithia is about 5 light-years away. It is one of the farthest planets the Mystic Guild has ever attempted to explore.
To travel such a great distance, the Mystic Guild has prepared a massive spaceship that is equipped with the latest technology and advanced weaponry to fend off any potential threats. The spaceship, Phoenix Voyager, is so massive that it could hold up to 500 people with plenty of room to spare.
And although the estimated distance was great, with how the Phoenix Voyager was created, the time it would take for them to reach Arithia was massively reduced.
As per Ashton\'s calculations, it should only take them a month or two before Arithia becomes visible to the crew,
The Guild members have been busy packing and preparing for the long journey ahead. They have made sure to bring enough food, water, and supplies to last them for years in case they need to stay on Arithia for an extended period. They have also packed their weapons, armor, and other equipment they might need for their exploration mission.
Ashton leads the way, making sure that everything runs smoothly. He has spent countless hours studying the planet, its resources, and potential dangers. He has also spent time training the Guild members to prepare them for whatever they might face once they arrive.
Once all the necessary preparations were met. Ashton and the Grand Commanders wished them good luck and the crew set off to fulfill their mission.
It has been weeks since then. Thankfully, the communication link remained strong between them, allowing them to receive updates from the crew here and there.
The crew of the Mystic Guild\'s expedition has been traveling toward the planet Arithia for several weeks now. They have faced various challenges during their journey, including intense gravitational forces from nearby celestial objects and sudden space storms that rocked their ship. However, the crew has managed to overcome these obstacles with the help of their advanced technology and skilled pilots.
As they approach Arithia, the crew can see the planet\'s vibrant colors from afar. The planet\'s atmosphere is a mix of blues, greens, and purples, which makes it stand out from the dark void of space. As they descend closer to the planet\'s surface, they can see the towering mountains, deep valleys, and vast oceans.
The ship lands in a large clearing near a dense forest. The crew members immediately begin to set up their base camp and start exploring their surroundings. They take stock of their supplies, which include food, water, and equipment needed to mine the planet\'s resources. They also set up their communication and surveillance systems to monitor their surroundings and make sure they are not caught off guard by any potential threats.
Despite the challenges they have faced, the crew is excited to begin their mission and start harvesting the planet\'s resources. They know that this expedition will be crucial to the survival of humanity in their war against the Celestial and Hypogean Races.

Meanwhile in the Blue Marble Planet...
Ashton settled into the Slumbering Immortal King\'s Bed on board the ship and closed his eyes. He immediately entered into a trance, allowing his spirit to travel and observe the crew\'s progress in their dreams. He could feel their anxieties and concerns about the upcoming colonization of Arithia, but he knew he could help them.
He couldn\'t really help but worry about them. After all, this would be the very first mission that doesn\'t have anything to do with fighting. How was he more nervous about this than actually fighting their enemies, is something he truly doesn\'t understand. All he knows is that he wanted to give them hands-on support.
As the ship approached Arithia, Ashton projected his spirit into the crew\'s dreams to guide and protect them. He observed their dreams, ensuring they didn\'t succumb to the dangers and terrors that lurked in the Dream Realm. With his guidance, the crew remained safe and focused on their mission.
Of course, he wasn\'t always with them. As much as he was able to accompany them despite their distance, he knew that they needed to overcome their fears on their own as well, otherwise, they won\'t grow anymore.
He will provide them guidance and protection, but only to a certain extent, that should be enough to guarantee that they will grow from this while also keeping them safe.
As they began the colonization process, Ashton continued to monitor their dreams, searching for any signs of trouble. He found that some of the crew were experiencing nightmares, which could potentially put the entire mission in jeopardy. Using his knowledge of dream manipulation, Ashton entered their dreams and guided them toward peaceful and calming scenarios, easing their fears and ensuring their safety.
As the days passed, the crew settled into their new lives on Arithia. Ashton continued to accompany them in their dreams, watching over them and helping them acclimate to their new surroundings. He also continued to search for signs of danger and potential threats to their safety.
Through Ashton\'s guidance and protection, the crew was able to successfully colonize Arithia, and they began to thrive in their new environment. Ashton remained with them, watching over their dreams and ensuring their safety, always ready to help should they need it.
