Expo Defenders

Your job as Defenders is simple. Kill what is to be killed, and support what is to be supported! Do you understand, Recruit? Your sole job is to not let a single organism pass these walls, because if this wall falls, we all do! These next couple weeks we will ensure you become a soldier that is worthy of holding the sigil of the Venture, if you don't quit beforehand that is.

The Defenders Unit

The Defenders are a new formation created to ensure the safety of our comrades in the face of vicious attacks on our outpost Fort Expo. You will be schooled in the basic military training such as melee and ranged weaponry for the fighters, or battle magic for the mages, after which you will be getting extensive training in observatory skills and adaptive thinking.

Historical Note

Since we started this war in the south, we had many die on their post as defenders, simple due to underestimation. We don't know when what will jump out where. Here it seems like the monsters are purposefully attacking our base in new ways, almost as if intelligent, so we have to be smarter than them. We had to rebuild the walls thrice over, and have lost a total of 203 defenders over these last few years. So do not think you will have an easy cushy life on defence posts, because this thought might cost you your life.

Running Costs

The Defenders are costing us a staggering 26% of our total expo raid budget. I know we are recovering from a recent raid on our base, but this many defenders seems very excessive. What about us? Those that actually go out into the field, liberating, fighting for our world? What do we get? Stable food and a small piece of jerky if we're lucky. Pah!
