The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 872 - 554: Thorny

In the laboratory, Kana was fully focused on creating the puppet in front of him, silently boosting his own Power.

With the last piece of gold clasp precisely attached to the puppet under his control, another strong puppet was declared complete and successfully stored in the dedicated puppet space by Kana.

At this moment, he received an intelligence report in the communication channel, sent by Alyris.

While Kana was conducting experiments in the laboratory and enhancing his power, most of the communication tasks with the outside world were handled by Alyris.

Whenever she deemed certain information important and necessary for Kana to know, she would promptly inform him even if he was busy with experiments.

Kana looked at the report sent over and did not set it aside. The intelligence indicated that traces of the Chaos Forces were discovered at the edge of the internal plain, and it was extremely abhorrent plague traces.

Looking at the detailed information analysis and the details of the squad that delivered the intelligence, Kana suddenly understood, nodding his head; it turned out to be Vier’s squad. After all, the matters related to this squad’s failed promotion had been reviewed and approved by Kana.

[Merciful Sect Leader] – this plague High-Level follower that is extremely bothersome, was active within the United Army’s sphere of influence.

Whenever this guy makes a move, problems within the United Army are inevitable, and the severity of these problems varies based on the specific response and scale of the incidents triggered by the enemy. There is no doubt that this is a key character.

Kana immediately opened the map to check and determine the area where the traces were found, and carefully studied the intelligence about the ins and outs of the whole event.

It’s certain that the Chaos Forces are definitely plotting some major conspiracy inside the United Army.

"The Griffin Patrol squad in the sky almost detected no abnormality... but traces of Chaos did appear internally, and just two days ago.

It seems likely that the enemy dispatched small groups to infiltrate, and once inside, they dispersed for individual actions. They endeavor to avoid aerial reconnaissance and choose areas with cover for movement."

Having battled the Night Watchers for so long, the Evil God’s followers are well-versed in evading Night Watcher reconnaissance.

Kana stared at the map, quickly recalling relevant information in his mind. What exactly is important in this area? There must be some key matter that prompts the Four Gods to dispatch formidable and high-ranking warriors to this place. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Analyzing the current situation on the battlefield, the goals of the Chaos Faction likely involve finding breakthroughs on the front battlefield to re-suppress the United Army and cut off the United Army’s desire to establish contact with the coast.

Are the Four Gods powerful? Undoubtedly, they are extraordinarily powerful beings. And what about their followers and Apostles? They are equally formidable.

The Night Watchers gained the advantage only with Kana’s support; otherwise, each Apostle alone would take much effort for the Night Watchers to handle.

If the four mighty Evil Gods unite deeply and launch an attack together, frankly, even the Night Watchers would be overwhelmed.

Fortunately, with the Tower of Trial appearing, the Night Watchers’ Power increased significantly, allowing them to withstand the Chaos Forces’ attack without appearing too flustered.

Another crucial factor is that although the Chaos Forces have allied, they still harbor severe internal conflicts and often secretly undermine each other.

After all, they were previously competitors with constant struggles. It was only due to the tremendous pressure from Kana that forced them to unite.

This united front has not allowed their Powers to completely merge and unleash the potent Effect they should have. Instead, in some aspects they contradict each other due to a lack of cooperative precision.

Currently, there are issues within the Four Gods United Army like chaotic charges, disobedience to commands, failure to adhere to orders, and a lack of meticulous Legion tactics.

If they overcome these issues, the United Army will inevitably be repelled again, and might even have to retract their defensive circle. By then, giving the Four Gods more breathing space, the situation would present more variables.

So, what exactly are they planning to do inside the United Army this time? If their sole aim is to create chaos at the rear, with the Night Watchers’ Experience, it is not difficult to counter, and the Evil God followers are quite aware of this. Clearly, this would be a futile and foolish plan.

Thus, things surely are not this simple, and Kana certainly does not believe their purpose is merely this.

Kana kept his eyes on the map, continuously searching related memories in his mind, attempting to recall the mission chains as well as various background stories of this area, but unfortunately still drew a blank.

However, by the next afternoon, while handling matters in the office, Kana received new intelligence.

Alyris said from the side, "Vier’s squad has essentially locked onto the enemy’s area of action through trace tracking."

Kana looked at the map, his gaze landing on the area confirmed by the intelligence — Crown Mountain.

Crown Mountain is defined by three peaks and the surrounding forests.

Alyris continued to report information from various places: "Since last night, we analyzed based on the newly received intelligence and recollected relevant information anew.

Centering around Crown Mountain, large areas radially surrounding it reported missing populations. However, given the current stage with a large influx of refugees, population movement is extremely frequent, so minor population disappearances haven’t received sufficient attention, nor did they become key intelligence."

After all, in such circumstances, population disappearance is all too common, especially when they have only been missing for a few days.

"The enemy intentionally conceals their actions, even at the cost of slowing down their pace, resorting to secretive means, even at the cost of action efficiency."

"I understand. I’ve already guessed their intentions." Kana’s eyes flashed a sharp gleam, his hands crossing beneath his chin in deep thought.

Upon hearing this, Alyris wisely shut her mouth, quietly waiting by the side to avoid disturbing Kana.

When Crown Mountain was confirmed, Kana roughly guessed the enemy’s plot.

In the former game, during the period when the Void was fully invading, there was a massive breach at Crown Mountain here, being the passage for Void incursions.

There existed a Continent-Level [Void Invasion Point], where even during the era when the Void had not fully invaded and the world still held its protective barrier, it allowed Legendary-Level Void Creatures to surge through this breach.

The appearance of such a breach indicates that an arm of the Void Vanguard Army had already taken root here.

And the most insidious Shadow Evil God clearly discovered this secret and confirmed its location through external observation methods.

Clearly, the Shadow Evil God must be planning to ignite this breach through a ritual, just as it once did on the Anwein Continent.

When Kana revealed his conjecture, Alyris was filled with confusion: "Why do this? Although this would deal a heavy blow to us, the invading Void Vanguard Army wouldn’t distinguish Evil Gods from other forces, all enemies would be assimilated.

If this breach is allowed to open, even the forces of the rats would be reduced to ashes under such an invasion."

"Because they felt threatened by us. To eliminate us, even sacrificing the rats and their kind... what has it got to do with them?"
