Shane was finally on his way back to his shelter.
He had postponed the expedition to the seas to search for Eden Islands...
At this ti, he couldn’t even be bothered with the managent of the Icarus Shelter where the Icarus Ascension Complex was located...
Most of the matters in that place were being handled by his allies and a few of his trusted people within the Eclipse Revenant Clan.
’I should start building a better crew, I guess...’ Shane thought as he received ssages related to the Blue Haven Shelter’s situation.
He couldn’t help but feel that he was underestimating the danger of the seas.
In any case, now that he was checking the private ssages. He decided to open the World Chat just in case there was news related to the vampires or other matters...
However, as soon as he opened the World Chat, he realized that the fate of the Phoenix Phalanx Clan’s leaders had already spread.
[ Riko (Sector 17): What the hell?! Alexander and the Vice Leaders are gone from the Clan List! Anyone? They disappeared in my friends list. How about the others? Am I the only one who got removed? ]
[ Maren (Sector 18): I just checked too. Their nas disappeared completely. Clan Leader position passed to Sir Maximilian. ]
[ Veyra (Sector 15): Wait... You’re not talking in Clan Chat. This is world chat don’t spread internal information. But Maximilian? That guy barely fights. He’s an alchemist, not a warrior. How can he lead Phoenix Phalanx? ]
[ Toren (Sector 20): Oh... I know this. It’s automatic. The one with highest contribution gets the title if the leader dies or disappears. That ans Alexander and the others are confird dead since they also disappeared in the Friend List of others. This is interesting. ]
[ Selene (Sector 13): Dead? Are you sure? Maybe they just left the clan and removed their friends? But I just rembe that they fought against the Eclipse Revenant before... ]
[ Riko (Sector 17): No, if they left, their nas would still show as "Forr mber." This is different. They’re erased. They couldn’t just remove friends so easily. Anyway, all of this will only happen when soone dies. ]
[ Darius (Sector 16): Damn... Phoenix Phalanx just lost its core. Alexander, the lightning master, gone. Vice Leaders gone. This is huge.... I wonder who killed them. The loot must be amazing. ]
[ Lyra (Sector 10): Who could’ve done it? Maybe they raided a wrong Zombie Lord. But if that’s done by another Survivor... Then, they were strong. I will not point out soone who can do this but I know everyone can guess. ]
[ Kellen (Sector 4): I’ll bet it was Shane. He’s been hunting them. We also got inford what happened a few days ago. ]
[ Mira (Sector 19): Bruh... Are you sure you’re not just trying to sar his na? What if he found that offensive? Just kidding. That guy’s everywhere. I know what happened to Lancelot, so it’s not that surprising... Phoenix Phalanx is finished. I think they crossed the line. I got so inside information. LOL. ]
[ Elen (Sector 12): Don’t underestimate them. Even if Alexander is gone, Phoenix Phalanx still has several hundreds of mbers. Maximilian might not be a fighter, but he’s smart. He could rebuild. ]
[ Veyra (Sector 15): Rebuild? Without their strongest officers? Half the clan joined because of Alexander’s lightning talent. Without him, morale will collapse. Furthermore, they had definitely offended many clans. ]
[ Dax (Sector 6): Lol. Phoenix Phalanx always acted arrogantly. Now they’re leaderless. Serves them right. ]
[ Kael (Sector 8): Careful. Even weakened, they’re still ranked. Wait... They disappeared in the Top 20! They’re probably ranked 50 or even lower with their core’s disappearance. Maximilian’s alchemy could give them new weapons. ]
[ Toren (Sector 20): Since they’re not in Top 20 anymore, they’re dood. As expected, they dropped fast without Alexander. Other clans will sll blood. ]
[ Riko (Sector 17): I’m worried. If Shane really killed them, then he’s unstoppable. Who’s next? ]
[ Selene (Sector 13): He only targets those who cross him. Phoenix Phalanx attacked and captured a mber of their clan and had their organs and blood extracted. They brought this on themselves. ]
[ Maren (Sector 18): What? They did that? What for? Still... Alexander was a big na. His death shakes the balance. ]
[ Lyra (Sector 10): Rember, Phoenix Phalanx had branches across Sectors 15 to 20. Those mbers are panicking now. So are already leaving the clan. ]
[ Mira (Sector 19): Well... I know a few people who are quitting now. They don’t trust Maximilian to lead. ]
[ Darius (Sector 16): Maximilian’s contribution was high because of his alchemy. He supplied potions and explosives. But leadership? That’s different. ]
[ Kellen (Sector 4): If he’s smart, he’ll ally with another clan. Maybe Ember Order or Serene Garden. ]
[ Elen (Sector 12): Ember Order? They’re reckless. Serene Garden is peaceful. Neither fits Phoenix Phalanx’s style. ]
[ Veyra (Sector 15): Style doesn’t matter. Survival does. Without Alexander, they need protection. They’re dood if they said as they are right now... ]
[ Dax (Sector 6): Yup, they’ll just collapse. Honestly, I hope they do. Less competition. ]
[ Kael (Sector 8): Don’t celebrate too early. A clan that big doesn’t vanish overnight. Even without Alexander, they still have resources. ]
[ Toren (Sector 20): Resources? Maybe. But morale is everything. Right now, their mbers are panicking in their internal chat. That says it all. ]
[ Riko (Sector 17): Maximilian hasn’t even spoken yet. No announcent. No reassurance. Nothing. ]
[ Maren (Sector 18): That’s bad. A leader needs to calm the clan. Silence just makes panic worse. ]
[ Selene (Sector 13): Maybe he’s still processing. Taking over after Alexander’s death isn’t easy. ]
[ Lyra (Sector 10): Processing or not, the world already knows. Phoenix Phalanx is vulnerable. ]
[ Travis (Sector 13): Allies are worried. Enemies are celebrating. This is chaos... By the way... If you’re from Phoenix Phalanx and want to join my Clan, you can. But not really. You’ll be joining my second Clan established by my second in command. Ok? Chat up if you’re interested. ]
[ Darius (Sector 16): What? Are you serious, Sir Travis? Shane’s na keeps coming up. If he really did this, then you might be targeted by him... What if Shane shows up in your room and kills you for taking them in? ]
[ Kellen (Sector 4): True. Shane’s reputation grows with every fight. First Lancelot, now Alexander. Who’s next? It could be you, Sir Travis. I think you should pass this one up. ]
[ Elen (Sector 12): That’s right, Travis... Whoever it is, they better not provoke him. Shane is the Rank 1 for a reason. ]
[ Veyra (Sector 15): Phoenix Phalanx provoked him, and look what happened. Don’t provoke him... ]
"What the?" Shane couldn’t help but chuckle a little after seeing how Travis was being heavily warned by others as if he had decided to attack Travis for accepting previous mbers of the Phoenix Phalanx.
He certainly wasn’t that evil.
Furthermore, Travis was his ally, and he wouldn’t even accept them in his main clan, but in his secondary clan, which was probably not even in the Top 40 Clans.
Anyway, it was kind of fun reading through their conversations, so he continued reading until he reached the end.
[ Dax (Sector 6): Lol. Lesson learned... don’t ss with Shane. ]
[ Kael (Sector 8): Still, Maximilian might surprise us. Alchemists can be dangerous. If he creates new relics or potions, Phoenix Phalanx could rise again. ]
[ Toren (Sector 20): Or implode. Either way, the clan as we knew it is gone. ]
[ Riko (Sector 17): I just saw more mbers leaving. Phoenix Phalanx is bleeding. ]
[ Maren (Sector 18): Without Alexander, they’re just another mid‑tier clan. ]
[ Selene (Sector 13): But if Shane is reading the chats right now, please allow to join your shelter... I know I can’t join the Clan, but being a perma resident is good too! ]
Shane found her interesting. He had been reading a lot of Chats from this woman. Since she had more than 3 World Chats per day, she must have received additional chats like him after getting so achievents.
After so considerations, Shane decided to reply!
[ Shane (Sector 15): Selene... I’ve seen your ssages. If you can reach it, I’ll allow you permanent residency in Blue Haven Shelter. It’s located in the easternmost region of Sector 20, built to be the best port city. We need people who can contribute. ]
[ Selene (Sector 13): ...Wait. Did Shane just reply? Oh my god. Thank you! I’ll head east imdiately. ]
[ Riko (Sector 17): WHAT?! Shane actually spoke in world chat! ]
[ Maren (Sector 18): Blue Haven Shelter? Easternmost? That’s far, but if it’s a port city, it could be huge. ]
[ Lyra (Sector 10): He’s recruiting openly now. That’s bold. ]
[ Darius (Sector 16): Port city ans trade routes. If Shane controls that, he’ll dominate sea expeditions. ]
[ Kael (Sector 8): Lol. Everyone’s gonna try to move east now. ]
[ Toren (Sector 20): Forget the shelter for a second... Shane wouldn’t just appear here unless sothing big happened. Did he really take out Alexander? ]
[ Mira (Sector 19): Yeah, everyone’s been guessing. Shane, care to confirm? ]
[ Shane (Sector 14): Yes. I eliminated Alexander and his officers. They crossed the line when they hard Roan. That’s the truth. ]
