The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 623 - 304: Endless

Bruto.

Enzelle Kingdom frontline military camp supply point.

Since they captured this place a few days ago, they’ve begun using this city as a bridgehead to attack the entire Liberty City Alliance.

This area has naturally been transformed into a facility and storage point for materials, as well as a command post for the frontline legion. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

However, although the city has been occupied, the soldiers and command camp have not been moved into the inner city.

After all, there are still so many residents inside the city. It’s not that they cherish the city’s residents; rather, the city is indeed too small.

Although there have been certain trade connections between Liberty City Alliance and Enzelle Kingdom, in recent decades, trade between the two has reduced in frequency, leading to the city’s decline.

Inside the military camp.

The commander of the vanguard army’s legion in this attack—Davier, looks at the map in his hands.

The positions of all the city-states within the Liberty City Alliance are carefully marked, including some important locales and detailed points of terrain, like rivers and cliffs.

This map basically marks all the important places in this region clearly, allowing them to plan their tactics with full vision.

"General, the Third Vanguard Army has taken Beluto, and the Second and Fifth Vanguard Armies have bypassed Bright Silver Mountain and surrounded Silver Gray City.

The first phase of the attack has been completed very smoothly."

An officer saluted and reported.

Hearing this, Davier furrowed his brows, not showing much happiness on his face.

"Commendable but still don’t relax your vigilance. The news of our attack should have spread throughout this region.

Even if they have accumulated animosity due to civil war, they will rationally set aside their conflicts at this moment.

But they won’t be as united as they used to be."

Davier said, as he received some intelligence and started to read.

The Liberty City Alliance has always had a united strategy externally, which is undeniable, as otherwise, with each city-state’s individual strength, it would be tough to handle the surrounding threats.

Not to mention the chaos in this region, causing many surrounding areas to be dissatisfied with this chaotic state.

And among these, Enzelle is the most discontented, especially in recent decades.

"Report!"

A messenger walked in.

Davier looked at him: "Speak."

"In the city, some residents have had conflicts with our soldiers again, injuring two of them.

This is the fifth conflict today, and the residents in the city are very dissatisfied with our control requirements."

Hearing this, Davier furrowed his eyebrows again.

Unable to refrain from cursing, "Exactly a bunch of orderless and honorless wastes."

The general beside him, frowned and somewhat dissatisfied, said: "Seems like peaceful occupying made these civilians unaware of their current status; they need some lessons.

Otherwise, these endless conflicts have too much impact on us."

Considering the general’s suggestion, Davier furrowed his brows and couldn’t help but think.

They’ve been stationed for merely a few days, but the conflicts with the residents within the city are becoming increasingly intense.

Since it’s peaceful occupation, they have been quite lenient towards the city’s residents, with a rather mild control strategy.

At least that’s how they see it.

Meanwhile in Bruto.

Inside the Southwind Valley Tavern.

The Night Watch Captain of this city—Rickter, frowned.

"You mean there’s a sign of cultists behind recent resident and Enzelle Kingdom soldier conflicts?"

Avery nodded: "Although not explicit, there probably isn’t much deviation."

If thinking rationally, the current status is deemed acceptable, but they are not residents of this city, nor do they have sentiments towards it.

Thus, they have little concern for the Enzelle Kingdom’s armed occupation.

Nonetheless, they notice the residents in the city are highly dissatisfied with the Enzelle Kingdom’s soldiers.

The whole city seems to be brewing anger, which is just what a certain Evil God loves.

Currently, these cultists are active in the city, even more residents are beginning to turn red.

Some old regulars at the tavern turned like this; overnight they appeared before Aiver as red dots.

This troubled Aiver, leaving him clueless about how to confront this.

Night Watchers are ruthless against cultists.

Meaning, they become sworn enemies overnight.

After understanding this situation.

Ritke furrowed his brows, making a resolution.

"We can’t continue this way; even if it causes more conflicts, Enze Kingdom must conduct military exclusion.

If these cultists aren’t completely cleared, they’ll only turn anger into a means of attack, exacerbating conflict."

Hearing this, Dute couldn’t help but say, "But if we do this...it’ll definitely incite riots in the city."

This is the transparent scheme of the cultists.

With external influences present.

Cultists never worry their intentions cannot be achieved, nor their power won’t expand.

Even if they’re completely eradicated.

As long as city conflicts and anger intensify to some level, people affected by extreme emotions would be influenced by the Evil God becoming new influence points.

Several people thought of this and showed difficulties on their faces.

"Now I finally understand why these cultists are so disgusting." Avery couldn’t help but say.

Previously, they crazily cleared these cultists by relying on the ability to search initial enemy status from the map.

Their strength left these cultists powerless against them, easily eliminating them from regions entirely.

Yet now in this situation, they seem powerless.

External and warfare factors entirely turned the birth of cultists into a perpetual status.

The tavern door was knocked then.

Avery opened the door to see Davier, the city’s actual manager standing outside.

"Fellow Night Watchers, this is presumably our first meeting, is it?"

The general walked in and said solemnly.

He was followed by several soldiers.

"General Davier, is there something you need from us Night Watchers?"

Rickter stood up and asked.

"Don’t be nervous, I’m here to seek your help; I know your ideals, which are admirable.

The current status easily allows cultists to exploit gaps, right? Therefore I hope you can help us solve these cultists."

Rickter slightly thought and then directly said, "This would aggravate severe conflict, yet cultists would be continuous as long as war persists."

"I see... but order is inviolable."

"Alright."
