The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 870 - 552: The Situation

The surroundings of the Tower of Trial.

Kana sat in the study, flipping through messages in the communication channels. Then, he glanced at the map, his gaze falling on the report on the table in front of him.

"Have you discovered anything?" Alyris asked from the side.

Kana shook his head helplessly. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"No, still haven’t figured out what these Evil Gods are planning."

It had been a few days since the previous meeting. The outside battle had gradually fallen into a standoff, but imagining a standoff with the Evil Gods was clearly unrealistic. To be precise, it turned into a low-intensity stalemate battle.

The Night Watchers’ tenacious resistance had not gained much advantage for the Four Gods’ first united assault. However, the enemy forces deployed on the frontline showed no signs of retreating. Though there wasn’t any large-scale attack, small skirmishes continued.

Clearly, they intended to pin most of the Night Watchers’ attention here, and for the time being, the Night Watchers indeed couldn’t extricate themselves.

"Fortunately, since they focused their efforts here, the situation along the coast has eased considerably."

Upon hearing Kana’s words, Alyris couldn’t help but nod. "I’ve heard they’ve already recaptured two medium-sized Mouse ports and are even planning to conquer the Mouse’s largest port city, completely cutting off the Mouse’s sea presence."

"Pretty much, they’re already advancing the plan. Once they destroy the Chaos stronghold along the coast, it will be much harder for those Evil God followers to send reinforcements."

After all, Lebia was originally the territory of the Mouse. Although the Evil God secretly led the birth of Evil Rats here, it was also because of this that the Four Gods’ followers didn’t develop or expand in this region.

The Barbarian Race and the followers of the Evil God mostly arrived here from other places via long sea voyages, thanks to the Mouse fleet. The Night Watchers’ harassment and distraction of this fleet prevented these transport fleets from being intercepted and destroyed at sea.

Currently, there are five continents in this world.

The Anwein Continent in the southwest, the birthplace of the Night Watchers, was deeply influenced by them. The Evil God’s influence here had long been uprooted, and with constant Night Watcher purges, this continent can be considered the place with the fewest Evil God followers among all continents, with no way for the Evil God’s forces to penetrate.

Though the Night Watchers now have a massive presence on the Lebia Continent and have even constructed the Tower of Trial there, without a doubt, the Eastern Wilderness is still the Night Watchers’ strategic rear.

Just the presence of Cui Yu and the Elf’s Tree of Life is enough to establish this stature. Moreover, most of the native members and family of the Night Watchers are also there.

The Tate Continent, located centrally, goes without saying; the Elf race has been gradually moving towards division. According to the latest news, Evil God followers have already begun to stir trouble in the Elf’s homeland.

Due to various reasons, coupled with the increasing division within the Elves, a falling-out was inevitable. However, thanks to the Elves’ long-term perspective, this divisive trend has persisted for nearly a century, only recently heating up.

Moreover, in a sense, the Elves still hold the title of world hegemons. It is due to their division that forces associated with them on various continents stand in opposition.

The Bestar Continent, to the east-southeast, though maintained by Beastmen, has already started descending into chaos. The Dwarf Sage Lurik still holds his ground there, and Sergio recently led a group of ambitious young Dwarves away. Therefore, the Night Watchers have extremely well-informed intelligence on this continent.

Anwein, Tate, Bestar, these three main continents can be considered the hub of this world, with most races interacting and exchanging between them.

Most of the world’s major nations and powers are distributed throughout these three continents, using the central Vortex Sea Current for rapid commerce.

The Lebia Continent, where Kana and the others were located, could be considered the most remote area, far removed from the world’s core area. In the past, it would take six months to a year for any important information to reach here.

This was because the route leading here was extremely distant. Coupled with past fierce trade competition with the Elves and various historical leftover tensions, the Elves remained uninterested in this area.

For trade caravans from other continents wanting to travel to the Lebia Continent, if they chose the western Ice Ocean route, frequent storm blockages made it nearly impassable. Fortunately, due to the efforts of the Night Watchers, this continent was finally starting to gradually integrate with the world’s center.

Previously, to reach the Lebia Continent via the eastern route, one inevitably had to bypass a special continent—Tariel.

As mentioned earlier, the invasion of the Blood God a millennium ago heavily devastated this continent, leaving it in ruins.

Littered with disaster areas similar to the bloodstained lands on the eastern peninsula, Tariel Continent bore the deep scars of that brutal war. In short, after that war, the continent was no longer fit for habitation.

Consequently, the Dwarf Kingdom fell into collapse, forcing the Dwarves to wander afar, scattered across various lands. It is said that some Dwarves and survivors from other races are still struggling to survive there, but their living conditions are extremely dire. The residual hazards from the war continue to spread across the continent to this day.

Because of Tariel Continent’s presence, the long sea route provided almost no replenishment points along the way, contributing to the long-standing isolation of the Lebia Continent from the world.

However, observing Chaos’s transportation of the Barbarian Race forces to this location, they must have landed on this continent midway. According to Kana’s prior knowledge from the game, there were surely numerous Evil Gods and Chaos followers on this continent.

Nevertheless, there’s no need to worry too much. Due to the harsh local environment, despite its dangers, the Evil God followers find it difficult to derive any actual benefits.

Moreover, the sparse number of intelligent beings on this continent makes it extremely difficult for them to grow and prosper.

In the game settings, after all, that continent was only regarded as a theme park, primarily used for hosting PVP events. Its chaotic and disorderly environment, filled with ruins of various forces and hazardous arenas created by war, was just perfect for conducting various PVP competitions.

In the room, Kana and Alyris continued discussing.

"Has Raelia and her team made any gains?"

Upon hearing this, Alyris unexpectedly rolled her eyes and walked over to gently rub Kana’s head.

"You’re utterly swamped lately; they’ve only been gone for two days. They might not have even figured out the local situation yet. How could they possibly have yielded any results so quickly?"

"You’re right, I’m being too impatient. I just can’t shake off this bad omen feeling."

"A bad omen?"

Alyris couldn’t help but sigh softly.

For others, a bad omen might be brushed off as a whim, but Kana’s bad omens must be taken seriously.
