The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 697 - 379: The Earth Trembles and Mountains Sway
Shecui City.
The city is still surrounded by mice, with only one passage open towards Blue Sky Harbor.
This is also the place where battles have been occurring regularly.
The mice want to cut off this supply route to completely encircle the city, but obviously the Night Watchers and the United Army won’t let that happen.
This results in frequent battles along the sole supply route.
However, it’s also apparent that the mice aren’t too ambitious about cutting off this area.
They have shifted from besieging the city to trying to slow its progress.
This is a completely different concept.
After the arrival of the United Army.
Shecui City naturally joined the United Army, with large amounts of supplies being transported by the Night Watchers.
Generously giving to everyone in Shecui City, showcasing the wealth of the Night Watchers.
Some Night Watchers even led the city’s residents to start repairing the entire city.
Once the encirclement is cleared, the city will be able to quickly start operations and recover.
"Just do as I said, we can take a bit of a breather now."
Kana chatted with others in the channel.
Discussing the topic of the Mage United Council’s recent actions regarding the Night Watchers’ captives. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Although the Night Watchers issued an official statement, the Mage United Council directly shirked responsibility.
It was individual mages’ actions, and had nothing to do with their council.
And there’s nothing wrong with that.
Everyone knows the Mage United Council is a large organization with numerous small and medium forces under its umbrella.
It’s impossible to pin everything on them.
Kana anticipated this long ago.
He was also prepared for it, and now the preparations are complete, only needing time to wait.
The Treasure Bead he sent has already been used.
The purpose of the bead was singular.
To provide the Night Watchers with a template, though it’s just the basic data template.
But that’s already enough.
And now that the bead has been used, it doesn’t matter whether the person used it themselves or gave it to others to prevent accidents.
Bobo next to him said, "Aren’t we following the main army?"
The army Bobo referred to is naturally the United Army.
Yesterday’s meeting already laid out the plans.
The United Army will start clearing the mouse infestation, and during the clearing, will incorporate affected forces.
This signals a long-term battle, possibly taking 1-2 years to complete.
During these 1-2 years, they’ll have to keep moving across different locations.
Kana obviously cannot follow all the time.
It’s too much of a waste of time.
So he shook his head.
"No, I need to prepare for future objectives, the direct assault will be handed over to the Night Watchers."
Kana still has a goal, which is to find all the fragments of a certain Stone of Creation.
Following the main army won’t work.
He needs to complete some tasks he’s aware of on this continent and establish relations with some secretive races and powers.
Acquire some relics and legacies.
This is where he can leverage his advantages.
Keep in mind, as the game progresses, the task difficulty increases, along with the level requirements.
And when the game extended to this continent, it was already the end of version 2, approaching version 3, that’s when it started flourishing.
The related task difficulty also rose.
Even if the difficulty isn’t necessarily high now, ordinary Night Watchers can’t accomplish them.
To prevent accidents, Kana has to personally oversee it.
Furthermore, it’s also a chance to rapidly level up; for future goals, Kana must ensure his level reaches 12 or above.
...
United Army’s Command Camp.
"Is the Earthquake Skill feasible?" Sweet asked.
Although he’s the commander, his profession is Warrior, and he doesn’t have an in-depth understanding of spells.
The Night Watch Mage beside him nodded.
"Yes, we’ve tested it before, a large-scale Earthquake Skill can be executed.
Although the damage is limited, it absolutely guarantees a broad coverage, and definitely achieves the earthquake-like effect."
Sweet nodded, that assurance was enough.
"Let it begin, then."
After saying that, the officers in the tent began to take immediate action.
Not just Night Watchers.
The remaining soldiers in Shecui City, along with the mouse hunters from Blue Sky Harbor who joined the United Army, were all involved.
Action commences.
Two Night Watcher squads quickly left the camp through pre-planned routes.
A wave of the magic staff.
Everyone in the two squads immediately concealed themselves.
Of course, not complete invisibility, just difficult to notice in the night.
"Stop!"
With a command.
The Night Watchers immediately stood still, swiftly hiding in nearby bushes.
A patrol of mice passed by not far away.
They had just left sight when the Night Watchers moved again, constantly weaving around.
They forcibly passed through the encirclement without being discovered by a single mouse.
This is the exaggerated effect brought about by the map in this squad’s operation mode.
Every move by the enemy was noticed by them; as long as there’s space to move, their chances of covert actions succeeding were high.
Just like this time.
After passing through the encirclement, the number of mice sharply decreased.
At this moment, multiple markers were visible on his map.
Soon, they arrived at a small hill.
Four mages in the team moved to the marked location, magic power flowed into the ground.
Several runes were also embedded into the earth.
They weren’t from the same squad but were temporarily assembled, primarily to complete this task.
Soon.
The earth began to shake violently.
"It’s shaking! Run!"
A mouse screeched.
Only to be whipped to the ground by the commander next to it.
"Shut up, it’s just an earthquake."
It’s just the tremor of an earthquake, not to mention they’re on the plains, there’s nothing to fear.
Sure enough, the violent shaking calmed down after a moment.
The mouse group only panicked briefly.
However, the problem was that their rear tunnels encountered a huge problem.
Mice store their supplies through dug tunnels, even using several food transport routes via tunnels.
Many destructive routes leading to the city were also undertaken by tunnel excavation.
As the earthquake struck, most tunnels started collapsing.
You can’t expect the tunnels excavated by mice to be solid or have supports, given their size.
But only the central earthquake area was affected, which the mice considered normal; just bad luck.
Yet, not long afterward, another earthquake rumble came.
Like this, one after another.
Even the mice realized something was off.
"Quick, catch them, there must be enemies sneaking behind us!"
