The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 683 - 365 Argument

Blue Sky Harbor conference room.

At this moment, a heated discussion is taking place inside.

"Didn't I already say it? Equip them with good weapons, and make proper logistical arrangements."

The Navy general shouted angrily.

The reason for his anger was that the rat-catching team they had previously formed had suffered serious setbacks outside, with nearly half of the team dead in a single incident.

The team's morale had been completely wiped out, and those who survived couldn't possibly rejoin this team.

According to the words of those who fled back:

This rat infestation is completely different from the past; they simply couldn't follow old traditions or rely on hundreds of years of accumulated experience to eliminate these rats.

These rats had already changed.

This was also the reason they faced such setbacks.

Not to mention that the rat-catching team's primary duties this time were reconnaissance and alertness, to prevent the rats from overrunning Blue Sky Harbor like last time.

Instead, they ended up ambushed in the wild, unable to contend with the sheer number of rats and their strangely enhanced strength.

"How many times have I said it? We don't have refined weapons anymore; during the last city fall, a large batch of weapons was seized by the rats.

Though we drove the rats away, many of our supplies were destroyed and transported out."

The person in charge of logistics and supplies cursed angrily.

"Oh? Really? Recently there's been talk that your guard unit has switched to a batch of new equipment? Seems like it's still..."

"Enough!" The council member shouted, looking at the general in disbelief.

While this was normal, saying it openly was somewhat improper.

Hasn't everyone done things like this?

"Seems like the pressure lately has muddled your head."

Kana sat quietly in a corner, sipping tea.

It was a full council meeting.

Not to mention Kana himself, who was practically a member of the council.

This seat was reserved for the Night Watcher, though it's his first time at the meeting. Kana had to show some courtesy, especially since there wasn't much for him to do within the city.

All he needed now was to wait.

During the wait, why not take a look at these people, gather intelligence they didn't know yet?

"Alright."

An elderly person who appeared somewhat aged spoke.

The arguing people quieted down.

Evidently, this elder had a certain degree of prestige.

Only after it became quiet did he say: "Arguing is pointless, three letters of appeal for help came in this morning."

"Why bother about these? We can hardly protect ourselves, how can we have the power to help others?" a council member retorted unapologetically.

He felt this topic was meaningless.

But the old man gave him a glance, saying heavily: "One of them... is from Shecui City."

The council member who just spoke shut up; he was a Snake-man council member.

Every listener knew just by its name that Shecui City is a city of Snake-men.

Mentioning it alone clearly wasn't because of just this, but also because the city stands right before Blue Sky Harbor.

It's regarded as the shield in front of the port city.

If this city is overtaken by rats, it's over; even if Blue Sky Harbor doesn't fall, it'll face endless harassment.

The council members present evidently understood this, their expressions turned heavy as they pondered.

"But we really don't have much supplies left; in half a month, city residents will be starving.

As for weapons..."

The logistical officer spoke.

Some council members couldn't help but secretly glance at Kana quietly drinking tea in the corner.

There is one thing they must admit.

Though not familiar with these Night Watchers, their strength laid the foundation for their safety.

This is why they were willing to immediately offer a seat.

Just trying to find a way to keep this group here.

Whether Night Watchers staying would take their power—when your life is at risk, who cares about that. Besides, as long as Night Watchers have strength, isn't there anything they can't seize?

Everyone knows this clearly.

Not to mention that over time, they've learned more about the Night Watcher's information, knowing the strength and scale of Night Watchers and their past deeds.

After understanding this, they found it hard to believe Night Watchers would care about a mere medium-sized port city.

Furthermore, this city is rife with complex forces taking it over would be meaningless.

One more Night Watcher wouldn't matter, nor would one less.

But they also knew, although the ship Night Watchers arrived on is very large.

It didn't carry many passengers.

Though storing many supplies, they weren't enough for a city to consume.

"How about seeking help from the Elves?" a council member suggested.

As soon as he spoke, he was immediately watched by everyone.

"You want to betray?"

"How dare you say such a thing?"

Some protested.

"Then what else can we do? Stay here waiting to die?" The council member yelled angrily.

Who could have foreseen the current situation?

The rat infestation could affect the entire continent, who knew how much power these rats gathered, actually congregated in such numbers.

Some silent ceremonial officers clearly agreed with him, just previously lacked the courage to say it.

"They seem quite resentful of you." Kana turned, whispering to Miguel West behind.

Miguel West helplessly nodded: "That group, only able to internally fight, once tried to take over this continent... did some bad things and failed."

This was the reason why the continent's residents found elves quite uncomfortable.

The Elves are proud.

This continent is only nominally occupied by them; many elves were displeased.

If military force is inadequate, use other means.

This led to many races on the continent being in a state of cooperation despite hating elves, considering not all elves to be evil and irritatingly arrogant.

But asking for help at this point is akin to giving the whole city to the elves, which they cannot accept.

If the elves came, they'd all be swept away.

But waiting here to slowly die, they evidently didn't want to experience it.

Being conflicted was their only feeling now.

At this moment, as discussions grew more intense.

They had already begun assessing whether calling on the elves for help could be feasible.

According to Kana.

That certainly wasn't possible.

Lurilu behind him also felt the same way.

"The race now cares nothing about these people." Lurilu's words carried some mockery.

The Elf Race was now busy with internal strife.

They even regarded the threat of the Evil God somewhat dismissively.

To these young elves, the atmosphere and conduct within the race had already made them disgusted.
