Chapter 107: Choosing the Champions
The news that Sector Gamma was officially invited to the god Games sent a shockwave of excitement and pride through the entire sector.
Their small, once-struggling sector was going to compete on the galactic stage. It was like their local school’s sports team had just been given a surprise invitation to play in the world championship.
The pressure was immense, but the honor was even greater.
The biggest question on everyone’s mind, debated endlessly in the CommNet and in every cafe and workshop in the Outpost, was: Who would the Sector Lord choose as his champions?
Ryan had to select a team of four people to fight alongside him. Four champions to represent all of Sector Gamma. Every powerful warrior, every brilliant mind, every ambitious person in the Bastion Alliance was secretly hoping their name would be called.
For Ryan, however, the choice was both incredibly easy and incredibly difficult.
He knew, without a single doubt, who he wanted by his side. The same people who had been by his side through every impossible fight, every crazy adventure, and every quiet moment of victory. His team. His family.
But he also knew that choosing them would be a political decision. He was a Sector Lord now. His choices didn’t just affect him; they affected everyone.
He had other powerful people in his Alliance, leaders of their own factions who were strong and capable. People like Tom Kane, whose Crimson Banner scouts were the best intelligence-gatherers in the Sector.
