Holy Light Calendar, Year 896, May 19th.
Liberty City Alliance—Green Forest City officially launched a large-scale attack on North Shore City.
The alliance civil war officially broke out.
Five days later, during a war between the two sides, Gray Harbor City joined the conflict.
Subsequently, increasingly more city-states began to fall into civil war due to various conflicts.
The entire region of the Liberty City Alliance was engulfed in war, and the residents of each city-state beca displaced, turning into refugees.
Fleeing in all directions.
Many refugees crossed the dense and dangerous jungles of the north and south into the Eastern Wilderness.
The Elf Village in this region was forced to take in these refugees.
Fortunately, the Night Watchers had long foreseen the inevitable civil war within the Liberty City Alliance and had made nurous preparations in this regard.
All refugees entering the Eastern Wilderness were settled around the Elf Village by the Night Watchers.
The Night Watchers’ construction teams had already conducted regional transformations and construction here.
However, with the Tree of Life here and the Elves living in this area, most of the architecture was composed of entwined trees, which were still alive and continuing to grow.
In Brupito.
This southern border city of the Liberty City Alliance remained peaceful during the current civil war.
It was a rare place of refuge within the alliance.
[Southwind Valley] Tavern.
This was a Night Watcher stronghold.
Bartender Aifuchi wiped a beer glass and sighed.
"What’s the matter, brother?"
Dute ca out from the kitchen and asked.
"More and more refugees are pouring in; war is always unavoidable."
"And those damned cultists," Dute said.
At this mont, only the two Night Watchers were in the tavern; the rest of their team was in the city, carrying out a cleanup operation against the cultists.
The impacts of war always inevitably extend the influence of the cultists, whose numbers multiply among the refugees flooding everywhere.
Disaster and suffering often drive so of the destitute into the arms of the cultists.
"I heard many refugees have also poured into the Enzelle Kingdom."
Hearing this, Avery gently shook his head.
Truth be told, the Night Watchers within the Liberty City Alliance have little affection for either the local cities or their neighboring Enzelle Kingdom.
Every city is autonomous, each city has its own rules, but these rules are without exception bad news.
The alliance even turns a blind eye to matters such as slave trading.
As for the Enzelle Kingdom, it is a nation that prioritizes order.
But the Night Watchers can clearly see that the turmoil within the alliance was triggered by spies from the Enzelle Kingdom.
They even went so far as to allow the cultists a chance to breathe and get strengthened during the process.
Just then.
A loud horn sounded outside.
The two exchanged glances and rushed outside with so custors in the tavern.
On the streets, a crowd had gathered due to the loud horn, everyone looking towards the source of the sound.
They saw city guards, in groups, running towards the city wall.
Many residents followed closely to see what was happening.
"I have a bad feeling about this," Dute murmured.
While running, they t up with their Night Watcher teammates.
A standard Night Watcher squad reached the city gate.
The gate was already closed.
Amidst the commotion, the crowd dispersed, revealing the City Lord dressed in customized armor, walking with large strides, his rotund figure evident.
"What’s the matter?"
"Sir, our sentinels report that the Enzelle Kingdom has sent a large number of troops, heading this way."
"What?!"
Holy Light Calendar, Year 896, July 11th.
The Enzelle Kingdom, citing neighboring chaos affecting their borders and causing a flood of refugees and cultists rampant in their nation,
invaded the territory of the Liberty City Alliance under the guise of helping resolve the chaos.
On the sa day, they captured the southern border city of Brupito.
anwhile,
Kana and others were still in Sun Holy City, receiving the legacy there.
"What about this city? It’s really far from Candlelight City, and now that the seal is lifted, this city is exposed to the outside world,"
Bobo said.
Alyris couldn’t help but add, "Moreover, this is the Northern Empire’s territory; we can’t occupy this city, it would displease the empire."
The Night Watchers’ relationship with the Northern Empire was relatively good; they were among the few allowed to move freely and set up bases in the Northern Empire.
Within the Northern Empire, the Night Watchers could cooperate with local defenses in operations to capture cultists.
It would be a pity if this city couldn’t beco their base.
But Kana anticipated this.
"Take everything you can carry; we mainly need the data and information here, as well as resources that haven’t been taken yet, along with various precious magic items."
The ice seal preserved everything here very well.
"So have you found the Stone of Creation?" Raelia asked curiously.
Such a city storing the Stone of Creation wouldn’t surprise people.
Maxim nodded.
"There’s a collection, kept in a box, two small fragnts in total."
Kana had taken these two fragnts, which were small.
One was a cube, the other seed to be diamond-shaped.
Neither could be ford into a complete piece, so they must be collected for now.
This ti, the yield was larger, particularly with a vast array of various magic items.
"As a reward for this action, you may select two items from among these magic items,"
Kana said to Raelia and the others.
"Really?" Raelia was pleasantly surprised.
"Of course, and this ti we’ve gathered quite a lot of high-level materials, after which a batch of magic equipnt might be forged, you should prepare,"
Kana reminded everyone with a smile.
Not only Raelia but Annabelle and the others couldn’t help but smile.
This ant that these frontline fighters would have improved combat capabilities.
For the Night Watchers, equipnt was indispensable; however, there were so many Night Watchers that good equipnt couldn’t be supplied.
They used standard Night Watcher equipnt, yet these were sufficient enough.
Kana picked up the magic item he had been eyeing from the start.
This was one of the targets, after all.
