Half Moon Bay.
This coastal city is actively preparing for war, and the chaos from a few months ago has already been contained.
Half of the city's control has fallen into the hands of the Night Watchers.
"Thanks to the United Army's frontline, the pressure on our defenses has eased significantly," said a Night Watcher captain.
Originally, they were isolated by the rats, but they were still subjected to attacks and harassnt from them.
Now, with the good news from the other side and the establishnt of winter defenses, the pressure they face is gradually easing.
The Tactical Master nodded, rubbing his brow.
The decisive action earlier gained him the title of Tactical Master, but managing the affairs of such a large port city has sowhat exhausted him.
"Where is Mage Calvin?"
"I don't know, rumor has it he's eting friends."
"eting friends?"
...
"Calvin, your ntor and I are considered friends. So? Can't you tell the purpose of your visit this ti?"
A middle-aged mage in a luxurious gold and blue robe sat on the sofa, looking at Calvin on the other side of the coffee table, smiling as he asked.
Calvin, in response to his inquiry, just calmly sipped his tea.
"The entire Lebia continent is engulfed in the war sparked by the rats, yet here you are, chatting with . Isn't it sowhat inappropriate, Master Darked?"
"Hehe, although I'm from the Lebia continent, I'm primarily the Head ntor of the Mage United Council, not like you and your ntor who have such financial strength to gather teams here for support."
Upon hearing these words.
Calvin rely smiled, "I can't help it. My ntor is kind-hearted and can't stand the entire continent falling into the disaster stirred by those vile races.
So he specifically sent to support the people here and fight alongside them."
"Hehe." The mage across felt awkward hearing this.
He waved his hand helplessly, "Alright, I won't discuss these pointless probes with you. Whether your ntor is kind-hearted, don't I know?
Let be straightforward. Have you and your ntor decided to commit your resources to the Night Watchers? Are you certain the Night Watchers are worth it?"
These words plunged the simple reception room into silence.
Calvin looked at the other, smiling, "I have joined the Night Watchers, though not in a high position, I do have certain authority to introduce talented individuals to the Night Watchers.
How about I recomnd you, Master Darked?"
"..." The middle-aged mage across remained silent, watching Calvin.
His brow furrowed, and after a while, he asked, "Did your ntor show you that image?"
A strange question, yet it received a slight nod from Darwin.
"Well, young fellow, I have to admire your courage. But you must understand the fear in the hearts of us old folks who have seen that image.
Not everyone is willing to offer their lives to fight against those entities for this land, after all, we already possess a certain degree of freedom."
"Just needs so sacrifices, right?" Calvin interrupted.
"Compared to desperate battles, the sacrifices are negligible."
"Hehe."
This ti it was Calvin's turn to smirk disdainfully.
Once reaching the legendary status, they can, through their own power, peer beyond the world's barriers into the outside.
If equipped with certain ans, or with imnse power or unique channels, they might even permanently leave the world to the Star Realm to witness the wondrous outside world.
So, legendary warriors clearly understand the reality of the world end prophecy.
They can even personally witness what the world has to face; in forr tis, they might have been blind to it, as the Void wasn't close enough.
Yet as the countdown to world end progresses and as the Void draws nearer, they can finally see firsthand the horror they must confront.
As the countdown approaches, their visions beco increasingly clear, and the fear within their hearts grows ever stronger.
Throughout this process, only one emotion festers within them — despair.
They can't fathom how the world beneath their feet can resist the impending crisis.
The Evil God's harm seems superficial at best.
As the end draws closer, legendary warriors beco increasingly indifferent to worldly matters, channeling almost all their energy into plotting their escape from the world.
Curiously, those capable of discovering the threat earlier have long departed.
And those legendary warriors lacking the ans, by the ti they discovered it, warnings of danger had already been broadcasted across the world, sparking initial resistance.
By then, legendary warriors born of the world itself could no longer leave.
Even after that, regardless of their might, they couldn't leave.
Aligning with the Evil God presents a viable route.
Yet siding with the Evil God still carries significant risks.
If it had been like the scenarios Kana experienced in the ga, then in the mid to late stages, not a few legendary warriors would side with the Evil God.
They saw no potential for resistance in the world's future.
Now many legendary warriors waver uncomfortably, swaying with the wind atop a wall, yet unable to truly fall.
For the Evil God's descent has t severe blows from the Night Watchers, which they deem significant damages.
It makes them question: do these Evil Gods truly hold such power? And is pledging allegiance to them worthwhile?
While the Night Watchers, representing the world's will, initiate resistance, they fail to see the capability and potential in them to counter that dreadful disaster.
Thus, they stand in the middle, unable to make any definitive choice.
That is why, despite the trendous chaos engulfing the Lebia continent, very few legendary warriors intervene.
Undeniably, the Evil Rat and the Four Gods supporting him are potential futures,
but they can't truly oppose the Night Watchers, for they represent the world's will, as long as they haven't fully sided with the Evil God.
Of course, not all legendary warriors are like this.
Figures like the Wolf Lord and the Twin Serpents decided early on to rebel against and defend their cities/nations, resisting the rats' invasion.
So have even begun contacting the Evil God.
But many, like the mage in front of him, are still observing.
"So I'm more willing to guard the land beneath my feet, to protect this world, rather than aligning with those damned Evil Gods.
Just seeing them makes nauseous."
Upon hearing such a response.
The other was not satisfied, but couldn't push further, leaving with unresolved conflict in his heart.
