The soldier made a defensive line when they saw people approaching. However, as soon as they recognized the ques that the party wore, they rxed. "You are Walker and his founding party? It''s good to see some help. We were instructed to escort these refugees to Genesis but we have to stop often."


    The soldiers looked ready to defend against anything that came their way. They had shields and swords at the ready. Yet, in drasticparison, the demons seemed much worse off. They had small injuries or burns here and there. Some even had clear signs of starvation and dehydration.


    "I think it''s fine to drop some supplies here." Walker didn''t even wait for anyone to react. He was already pulling food, bandages, and some healing potions out of his storage. He was sure that they would go a long way to help the demons who needed healing.


    "Alice, I will tell him. I know what you want to say." Su had Alice gripping her arm as soon as the dried meats and vegetables left Walker''s storage.


    "What''s wrong? Should I get something else?" Walker was less experienced with helping people who had been stuck in a starved state. Therefore, he needed more guidance to ensure that nothing bad happened.


    "They have been starved and dehydrated. If they eat nutrient rich food at a density like we do they will go in to shock or get very sick. It will make things worse. We are going to make a very thin soup inrge batches. Then you will freeze what is left after everyone has a single cup today. There will also be water but we won''t let them drink it all at once. They need to sip it all slowly. That will help them better than just giving them what they want right away."


    "I didn''t know. Then we need to set up a fire and start. I will use my skills to create a massive earth pot. The harder I can shape it the better it will work." Walker didn''t carry enough metal to somehow create a potst minute.


    "Can we pitch in our armor? What would work better as a pot right?" One of the soldiers didn''t hesitate to offer such a thing. Walker and the rest of the party were stunned.


    "That''s a good idea. I heard you can forge things with some super rare skill right? Take my spare armor and put it to good use. I''m not on the border right now."


    "Mine too!"


    "You kids can use this right?"


    The soldiers started tossing spare armor and even more in front of Walker who didn''t have the words.


    "Listen here, stop gawking. We all live in Genesis. We moved there as soon as we heard about it. Have you not noticed that we have demi-humans, humans, and even a few elves? We were all without homes or jobs when we heard about your little city. Hell, that kid over there is even engaged to one of the demons rescued when that Pride monster attacked his home. So, get to work and show us what we left it all behind to fight for. We were volunteers after the captain set the order to escort these people."


    The soldier in charge pointed out members of his squad. They definitely looked mismatched but they all held the same values. None of the party had realized just how many people had moved in to Genesis only to leave and dedicate their time to saving others. It was hard to grasp in the moment. They were literally giving up their safety so that the demons could have a better meal.


    "If you want it done, then it will be done." Walker couldn''t go against them. Even if he didn''t have the skills, he would learn them as he went. His system was made for something like this. He could do exactly what was needed.


    The few steps that Walker took were enough for him to use the portable forge skill. The sudden appearance brought a lot of exmations from the soldiers before Su pushed them back toward the demons. She was already handing out bandages and giving orders. Remey was right next to her with Alice showing her what to do to better soak bandages in healing potion.


    Gil started to fill the forge furnace with some small sticks that Walker had pulled out. He was going to do what he could to supply Walker with the armor from the armor after he removed the pieces of leather and other non metal parts.


    Midnight was the first to light the forge furnace. She was going to make sure that the fire burned brighter and brighter until Walker could use any forging skills he had. The demons that were in better shape watched as Walker fed armor in to the furnace slowly melting it. He was making arge scene while he began to fold the metal in to a single piece.


    Using some of the nearby earth, Walker hardened it in to the shape of a massive pot. The shape would not be perfect but it would be ideal for forcing the metal in to a working cooking container. The hours passed them by as Walker hammered more and more. He was not used to thebor in such a way but that didn''t matter. He continued with the encouragement from the soldiers.


    By the time he had forced the metal in to shape, he was sweating puddles. But Midnight and Gil were still by his side to heft the newly forged pot on to arge bed of hot coals. Now he had the job of creating a thin soup from what he had taken from his storage already. It wouldn''t even be worth doing unless he went all the way. Whatever he could do he was going to do. Even the soldiers were joining him with their survival skills to cut and clean vegetables.
