The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 631 - 312: Tacit Cooperation

Watching Bruto restoring order.

Kana directly departed from this place without lingering any longer.

No choice.

Mainly because as the warfare intensified, the chaos in the Liberty City Alliance reached a certain level.

Cultists kept killing without end, even flourishing increasingly.

The deployment of a small team in each city was no longer sufficient to suppress the cultists’ numbers.

The previous regional squad divisions were for normal or low-intensity situations.

Such chaotic warfare had entirely become high-intensity.

Thus, the Night Watchers active in this region were rapidly increasing, and powerful Night Watchers like Kana were forced to become busy supporting various areas.

With the chaos and warfare, suffering was also gathering, leading many civilians who fell into despair to willingly become sacrificial offerings.

This was the most troublesome part.

Each ceremony could potentially lead to the arrival of a powerful Evil God’s Apostle.

The only fortunate thing was that the powerful magic items or fragments weren’t so easy to collect.

But Kana didn’t come here solely to eliminate those powerful Evil God’s Apostles.

He also intended to establish a certain tacit understanding with the Enzelle Kingdom.

Kana needed to resolve some urgent matters on this continent before leaving.

Otherwise, without expanding influence, issues might arise in the headquarters’ region.

...

Frontline camp.

This was the Enzelle Kingdom’s frontline command post, responsible for commanding various lines on the front.

Its leader, the grand general of the Enzelle Kingdom—Rift.

At this moment, the command camp was quiet.

Yet the long meeting table was already filled with officers or leaders from various divisions.

The reason for such silence was merely because Rift, seated at the main position, was reviewing reports from various areas.

"Cultist rituals seriously impede our army’s progress? Even our elite forces have started to adopt cult beliefs?"

Honestly, when Rift saw these reports, he truly thought his eyes were playing tricks.

A general seated next to him stood up and said, "Indeed, General. These evil beliefs are even more pervasive than we imagined. Even the captain of our elite Third Assault Squad has become a worshipper of the Evil God."

"What?!"

Rift was surprised, quickly filtering through the reports to find the event the general mentioned.

"The [Red Thorn Spear] suffered losses?"

"If not for the local [Night Watcher] team’s assistance, our losses could have been greater."

"I propose deep collaboration with [Night Watcher], even allowing some Night Watchers to assist in camp patrols."

"How is that possible? These Night Watchers are not part of our Kingdom..."

The command post suddenly fell into a dispute.

"Quiet!"

The adjutant standing behind the general shouted.

The room finally quieted down.

Ritke frowned.

Honestly, they hadn’t paid much attention to so-called cultists in their original plans to occupy the Liberty City Alliance.

After all, these entities only emerged in recent years; these veteran leaders hadn’t regarded their existence.

Were it not for the rise of Night Watchers or the information about cultists coming from various places, they wouldn’t have wasted even a bit of effort on this issue.

Yet now, their arrogance and ignorance were hindering their progress. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Small concerns they once ignored had grown into significant problems.

The public uproar in occupied areas, coupled with cultists causing trouble, pushed their occupation costs skyward, and so far, most occupied areas remained unsettled.

If they adopted harsher oppressive rule, cultists would become even more rampant.

Their current methods were completely opposite to their previous approaches.

This nearly rendered the Enzelle Kingdom helpless.

Now, the reason internal chaos hasn’t completely erupted in occupied areas was almost entirely due to the role of the Night Watchers.

This was indisputable.

Every commander present saw this very clearly.

Frankly speaking, some of them greatly benefited from the presence of Night Watchers; otherwise, they couldn’t be sitting comfortably here now.

They sorely lacked measures against such cultists, whom they had never dealt with before.

"But these Night Watchers... they are neutral, and..."

Ritke’s words were unexpectedly interrupted by a nearby officer.

"General, I must remind you, [Night Watcher] has never officially claimed they would remain neutral. They’ve even deeply involved themselves in the restoration and development of the Cohen Kingdom, now nearly becoming one of its de facto rulers."

Another intelligence officer next to him also said, "Besides, the [Holy Light Church] within the Cohen Kingdom has almost severed ties with headquarters, deeply engaging in other nations’ politics.

Intelligence indicates this behavior is considerably likely incited by [Night Watcher].

Their sole clearly indicated aim is a merciless eradication and clearance of cultists and the so-called void."

Upon hearing the intelligence officer.

The commanders present garnered a newfound perception towards Night Watchers.

"Are you suggesting... [Night Watcher] might be willing to cooperate with us?" Ritke asked.

Honestly, he had been focused on preparing for war, so he didn’t know much about this aspect.

"It’s not a matter of willing or not; [Night Watcher] is already supporting our actions to some extent." The young commander who spoke first couldn’t help but say.

After these words, no officer present refuted.

Ritke understood.

"Since the other party has shown sincerity, let’s cooperate, but with moderation, not allowing them excessive involvement.

Let’s facilitate them under a cooperative framework."

The decision of the meeting was settled.

...

With the cooperation of Enzelle Kingdom’s advancing troops, occupied areas also began intentionally or unintentionally providing Night Watchers conveniences or even support.

This dealt a severe blow to activities of the Evil God, coupled with the support provided by the Night Watchers in this regard.

The Evil God activities in Enzelle Kingdom’s occupied areas nearly stagnated.

The upward momentum was finally suppressed.

However, on the contrary.

Certain cities within the Liberty City Alliance couldn’t exhibit such resolve.

The alliance’s unique loose structure rendered each city nearly autonomous.

Each city had its administrative unit and leader.

There were both incapable and capable leaders.

Some cities’ city lords had clearly established excellent relations with Night Watchers, virtually eradicating cult forces within their cities.

They even initiated fruitful trade relations with Night Watchers’ Commerce Association.

But while there were beneficial relationships.

There were also extremely sour relationships.

Some cities had officially stipulated to expel Night Watchers, deeming them enemy forces.

Faced with these regulations, Night Watchers naturally concealed themselves within the shadows.

During this time, most Night Watchers’ actions shifted to observing and recording cultists within these cities.

However, in rare cities.

Like [Tula City].

It was clear they angered Night Watchers a bit.
