The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 868 - 550: Each Tends to Their Own Affairs
After a session of "lessons", Vier was panting, but still maintained her training posture.
The dual torment of body and spirit left her feeling utterly exhausted.
Suddenly, a message came through the communication channel.
"There’s a mission!" Her voice instantly became excited, as if the fatigue from earlier training was thrown to the winds.
After speaking, she looked at the keenly watching Raelia in front of her with gleaming eyes.
"There’s a mission, I... I have to carry out the mission! Our Captain is still urging me!" She deliberately emphasized her tone.
Raelia merely nodded and said, "I know, go ahead. But let me make it clear, after this stage of the war is over, if I discover you still haven’t become Soul Guardians, you’ll have something to expect. Tell your Captain and all your team members, I’m not joking."
Vier stiffly smiled: "Then I’m off, bye-bye, Sister Raelia."
After saying that, she turned and sprinted away.
Raelia silently watched until the sound of hooves reached her ears.
She turned to see Abis approaching slowly.
"What, haven’t had enough of training yet? Do you plan on becoming a teacher in the future?" Abis joked.
Upon hearing Abis’ teasing, Raelia just glared at her.
"Kana just came by, but seeing you training here, he didn’t come in."
"I know, my perception isn’t weak," Raelia said, then muttered, "He probably didn’t come with good news. Is it some strange and annoying task again?"
In their view, whenever Kana personally visits or summons, there’s definitely a task, and it’s bound to be troublesome.
But this time, Abis shook her head with a smile.
"Nope, it’s a simple patrol mission."
"Patrol mission? Sending us?" Raelia asked incredulously, instinctively rubbing her ears.
She couldn’t figure out why they would get a patrol assignment.
"Could it be a vacation?" She asked.
"Or is it patrolling some important or dangerous area?"
Abis continued shaking her head.
"It’s patrolling the internal area of the occupied zone, which is currently the most peaceful and harmonious safe zone, how about that?"
"Why?" Raelia looked puzzled, not understanding the intention behind this task.
They were well aware of the situation on the frontline, as they had taken a break shortly after returning from it. During the Chaos Legion’s counterattack, they acted as "firefighters," providing assistance in at least seven or eight areas.
To outsiders, this might have seemed like an exhausting journey, but for Raelia, it was straightforward and easy.
No brainwork needed, no need to worry much, just charge and slay enemies on the battlefield.
In a past game, she became the most notorious Slaughterer under the fearsome Blood God, not solely because of any downfall. At her core, she was a combat fanatic.
Those familiar with her knew this well.
"Not sure, from the information I gathered, there seem to be traces of spy activity in the internal safe zone, and these spies were orchestrated by Evil God Followers. That’s the only event I can think of related to our mission."
Upon hearing this, Raelia still couldn’t understand.
The Evil God employs various methods against them, and they have encountered spies unaffected by the Evil God’s faith and Power before.
Even normal forces use spies for sabotage in each other’s territories, let alone the Evil God.
"Of course, this isn’t the only reason, it should be a chain reaction from recent events. You don’t really believe they will sit idly by while we erect the Tower of Trial, boosting our strength, do you? They’ll definitely find ways to counter us. It’s impossible for the Four Gods to simply unite for an attack." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
After speaking, Abis and Raelia began walking out, continuing as they walked.
"Also, Kana is somewhat puzzled by the situation, and to avoid surprises, he sent us."
"Of everything you’ve said, this last part is somewhat useful," Raelia said helplessly.
...
Half Moon Bay.
In the fortress at the port.
Sergio sat on a chair with his legs suspended, asking anxiously and helplessly, "Are we really going to just do nothing? Merely conduct some harassment attacks every day? Kana’s main forces are under significant pressure, we should be attacking from the rear to help lessen their burden."
Maxim shook his head at these words.
"Think about it, it’s not that simple. You know the Four Gods have already allied, and our recent harassment attacks have been against mere rodent forces.
If the main forces hadn’t turned to attack us, we’d be secretly relieved, otherwise, with our current troop strength in this area, we couldn’t hold off."
At this moment, a Commander from Night Watchers walked in through the door.
"Councilors, new support troops have arrived at the port. According to intelligence, they should be the Empire’s forces."
"Empire?" Sergio heard the news, his eyebrows furrowing slightly, "These guys have some nerve.
I remember that previously Kana had Vainsha propose a negotiation council, right? At that time none of them agreed to provide support, now without us seeking help, they’ve come on their own."
Since the Empire and Night Watchers split the Liberty City Alliance territories, the two sides have been in a standoff.
Though it’s called a split, the Night Watchers possess considerable autonomy and freedom in this area. What Night Watchers truly occupy are merely a couple of gateway cities leading to Eastern Wilderness.
During the middle of the war, relations between the two were still harmonious. After all, Night Watchers still needed to assist the Empire in stabilizing its domestic issues and those related to Evil God’s worship in occupied territories during the war.
Until the Night Watchers nearly drove the Evil God’s faith and forces from the continent entirely.
More importantly, Night Watchers opened their gates in Eastern Wilderness indiscriminately, allowing refugees from the Liberty City Alliance to pour into their lands, even assisting them in seeking refuge in Eastern Wilderness.
It’s important to note that the Empire, at the time, imposed high-pressure rule to control the chaos in occupied zones, leading to numerous issues.
This caused nearly half of the population from the Liberty City Alliance to flow into Eastern Wilderness, becoming Night Watchers’ subjects.
Initially, the Empire was quite pleased with Night Watchers accepting refugees, but when refugee numbers surged, dissatisfaction grew.
Furthermore, Night Watchers’ influence on the continent grew stronger, virtually becoming the dominant force in this area.
This was a status the Empire coveted, but Night Watchers surpassed them to take the lead.
"Previously they wanted to vie with us, now naturally they have no such desire. The Tower of Trial is established, Night Watchers’ strength is rapidly boosting, forcing them to recognize Night Watchers’ status and true objectives."
"And those fickle Legends, truly puzzled by how they even became legends," Calvin chimed in from the side.
"Let it go, don’t worry about so much, the more reinforcements, the better. With these reinforcements, we can launch an attack on their port. Those rodents’ sea trash warships have caused us quite a bit of trouble, time to clear them out."
