The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 681 - 363 Meeting

Blue Sky Harbor.

Port Council.

This is the actual management organization of this port, formed by representatives sent from various forces within the port.

They determine the direction of the port through meetings.

This is their first official full meeting after the rat plague, as previous meetings always had absences due to problems brought by the rat plague.

Back then, their topics mostly focused on how to quickly restore the city. Including but not limited to treating the wounded, rebuilding the city, and handling corpses.

As the city's key issues were being addressed smoothly, they finally had time to discuss the continent's current situation.

"According to intelligence, this is a real rat disaster, the Sharp-eared Rat People seem to have united for some reason.

Moreover, their numbers are multiplying, and they possess a kind of evil power that is now ravaging the entire continent.

This time, they attacked three ports in total, seemingly trying to seize an outlet to the sea.

And they succeeded, Huayu Harbor was captured, Moonlight Harbor managed to hold out, and of course, so did we."

The council members almost all knew this news already, which is why this long overdue full meeting had been postponed.

Each council member and their backing forces needed to clearly understand various intelligence.

Such as the situation on the continent, the mouse issue, and the sudden arrival of Night Watchers.

"So, does that mean we find it difficult to get support right now and might even need to support others, right?" The naval general asked.

Although they've just recovered from chaos, others are still in the midst of chaos.

The city's civil servant, also the leader of most city officials, nodded.

"That's right, we've received six pleas for help, meaning all cities around us have been attacked by mice.

I wouldn't be surprised if a city fell."

"What's going on with these mice? Why did they suddenly appear in such large numbers? Where does that power come from?" One council member asked.

They hadn't obtained useful intelligence, so hoped to learn more during this meeting.

Another council member slowly stated: "It seems to be some kind of Evil God referred to by the rats as the Evil Mouse, helping them reproduce faster and having that kind of power that allows the mice to unite with great strength."

"Alright, we all know these issues, they won't produce results in a short discussion.

Let's discuss those powerful Night Watchers first."

With the council member's statement, the meeting fell into silence.

Very simple.

They hadn't gained much intelligence about the Night Watchers.

Some issues must be considered, which is the connection between Lebia Continent and other continents, really is somewhat remote.

This results in them retrieving information from other continents very slowly.

The nearest continent to them is the Tate Continent, the continent of Elves.

But the problem is Elves never fully occupied Lebia.

It's always been nominally occupied.

The continent's various races don't feel good about Elves to be honest, but they are indeed familiar enough with Elves.

As for other continents, it's even harder to engage with them.

They are in the northwest corner of the world, besides Tate, the only place quickly accessible to them is the continent where Kana once was.

But it's precisely cut off by nearly impassable seas.

However, at least there are still merchants from other continents, sailing cargo vessels here for trade.

These merchants are the only channel for external information flow.

Back then, among those besieged in the city center, quite a few people had heard of the Night Watchers.

And almost all their information came from this source.

Because wanting to obtain more information from outside was completely impossible since the outside was still in chaos.

"It seems none of you have obtained any useful intelligence. I happen to have a little bit."

Everyone looked over.

"Do you know about the Blood Child incident from a few years ago?"

"Those children who could drink blood?"

"That was not something pleasant to remember."

People said.

"Indeed, it was truly not pleasant to remember, but that incident seems to have some relation to these Night Watchers."

"What relationship?"

"It's said that during the resolution of those matters, Night Watchers played a very significant role, and this event occurred on the continent where Night Watchers originated.

Do you remember the message passed on by some Elves at that time, hoping we could be kind to those cursed children?

If it's really intolerable, they asked for those children to be sent to them, and they'd take good care of them."

"That indeed happened." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"However, the children handed over were very few."

"Many races do not have good relations with Elves; they even believe these children are the work of Elves."

After that incident, Maxim used his remaining contacts among the Elves to slightly transmit this information to this distant continent.

But the effect, naturally, was negligible.

"Based on my observations these days, those Elves are likely helping Night Watchers, wanting these children."

"What?"

"This joke isn't funny at all."

"Hahaha, Elves helping others."

"I will write it in a book and tell this joke to my children."

The council members scoffed at this information.

"Alright, although I am also surprised, you should be aware, there is an orphanage in this city, the orphanage we refer to houses these children."

"Is that true?"

"Are those children still not dealt with?"

"No, there are some mages…you know."

"You disgusting guys again."

"Waste utilization, isn't it?"

The council member who narrated the story took a deep breath, shook his head, and said helplessly: "It seems your recent intelligence becomes ineffective, that orphanage was forcibly occupied by Night Watchers.

And Night Watchers explicitly released information that those children will be under their protection. If disgusted, please send them to them.

They will give enough rewards.

Any dare to abuse or kill these children will suffer Night Watchers' revenge, without any reason.

Of course, only limited to these children."

"Which mages?" One council member asked.

This person nodded: "Correct, was immediately cleared out by some Night Watchers."

"With the arrogance of those mages, didn't they retaliate?"

"That's the interesting part, they originally intended to, but suddenly quieted down, even apologized to Night Watchers.

Understand? Everyone."

At this point, those present really quieted down.

This kind of result caught them completely off guard.

"Seems the mages have more precise intelligence."

"Of course, but they clearly won't just tell us."

"No problem, it's just paying some cost after all."
