A different world game? A different world game!

The fox elder named "Golden Eyes" cleared his throat, his voice carrying a peculiar resonance.

"Your Majesty, esteemed leaders, based on intelligence gathered from various sources, it seems that His Majesty Cana of the Night's Watch has reached some kind of pact with the will of the world."

"Speaking of changes, recently many warriors seem to have faintly heard the earth speaking to them."

"Or rather, the world is speaking to them. The Night's Watch has sent word that the world has developed its own intelligence, which is called Aegir."

"And the Night's Watch established what they called the 'earthly kingdom' in the western city of the Ring of Towers."

At this point, the elder glanced at everyone present, paused emphatically, and stressed, "The true divine kingdom."

Kana is a true god.

The only God in the world.

And it seems that within the Night's Watch, there are rumors that Poppot has become their god, that is, their second god.

In other words, the Night's Watch has two gods.

This is the only and most important reason why the world is so quiet and restrained right now.

"That city rose from the ground in an instant using incredible 'data construction' technology."

"Their purpose is far more than just self-preservation. Combined with the 'giant maw of the void' that is clearly visible outside the world barrier and is slowly closing..."

Jin Tong's voice trembled slightly, "The core of this meeting is undoubtedly how to integrate the power of the entire material world, establish an unprecedented 'world alliance,' and carry out the final general mobilization for war."

"Then, the discussion will revolve around force integration, resource allocation, especially logistics and equipment production, strategic defense deployment, especially the 'landing points' of the first wave of attack."

"Absence means giving up the opportunity to fight for dominance and resource allocation within the alliance, and may even lead to marginalization, where the enemy will be used as expendable resources on the most brutal front lines in future wars."

“Even… in the tides of the void, it becomes a tree without roots.”

Golden Eyes' analysis brought silence to the golden tent, and even Black Mane temporarily suppressed his ferocity, his brows furrowed.

Never before has the shadow of war loomed so heavily over the hearts of every leader.

"Integration? Hmph!"

The leopard clan leader, "Shadow Strike," broke the silence with a cold laugh. Her posture was elegant, yet carried the languor and vigilance of a predator.

"Easy for you to say. Who's in charge? The Night's Watch? Are you suggesting that our orc warriors should be at the beck and call of those humans and elves? That we should hand over the Empire's resources to them for distribution?"
"The warriors of my Leopard Clan obey only His Majesty's commands and the war songs of our ancestors!"

Her questioning reflects the mindset of a significant portion of traditional tribal leaders, who are resistant to relinquishing independent command.

"The Shadow Strike leader's concerns are not without merit."

The Lion King spoke slowly, tapping his fingers on the armrest of his throne. “The Empire can support a coalition, but three things must be ensured: First, the independence of the Imperial Army must be respected, and supreme command must remain in the Golden Horde!”

"Secondly, the Empire should be responsible for the defense of its traditional sphere of influence and adjacent areas, especially if the possible 'landing point' is in the southeast, the Empire will not shirk its responsibility!"

"Thirdly, resource allocation must be fair. The Night's Watch's data-driven logistics system must be opened to the Empire, especially the production technology and enchanting support for weapons and armor. We have lost the Silver Dwarves, and we cannot afford to fall behind in equipment."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The leader of the rhinoceros tribe, "Jianjiao," echoed in a low voice.

"Logistics and equipment are the lifeline of warriors. The Night Watch can build cities instantly with their magical 'data construction,' so building weapons workshops should be no problem for them as well. The Empire must acquire this technology."

When equipment was mentioned, Blackmane couldn't help but snort again, glancing at Swift Fang.

"Equipment? Ha, some races that barely managed to stand up thanks to the Night's Watch's charity probably wish they could offer all the Empire's resources to their 'benefactors'?"

This veiled sarcasm immediately reignited Xunya's anger.

As the conflict was about to escalate again, a hint of impatience and a deeper calculation flashed in the Lion King's eyes.

He suddenly raised his voice and threw out a bombshell topic that he had prepared beforehand, successfully diverting everyone's attention.

"Enough! Old grudges between tribes are insignificant in the face of the impending doom. Instead of tearing each other apart in the Golden Tent, we should focus our energy on expanding new territories and achieving glory. The expansion of the Taliel continent is in dire need of manpower now."

His gaze swept intently over Blackmane and several tribal leaders known for their bravery and belligerence.

"The ferocity of the wolf clan, the swiftness of the leopard clan, and the tenacity of the bull clan are precisely the qualities most needed to expand territory and conquer that frozen wasteland!"

"The Empire will fully support the tribes that volunteer to join the Taril Pioneers! There lies endless land, rare mineral deposits, and the opportunity to take revenge on the Void and establish unparalleled achievements!"

"Instead of wallowing in the mire of the past, let's fight for a future full of glory and spoils for the empire and for ourselves!"

These are some things that were discussed with the Night's Watch two years ago.

Although preparations are needed, the arrival of the Void is still quite some time away.

Some conflicts can be shifted away at this time.

Moreover, Taril's openness has reached a bottleneck.

The Night's Watch is willing to open the channels pioneered by Tarril to all nations.

The Lion King's words were like cold water being poured into a boiling oil pan.

The eyes of Blackmane and other warlike leaders lit up instantly.

Taril, that wild land full of danger and opportunity, is indeed more attractive than fighting with rabbits in the Golden Horde.

However, previously only free-roaming orcs were allowed to move around freely.

Are they now allowed to bring their own troops?
Going there would allow them to escape the frustrations of being "peasants" in China, and also to acquire tangible land, resources, and prestige through force.

The atmosphere inside the golden tent suddenly changed, shifting from tense tribal conflict to a weighing of opportunities for expansion and the growth of ambition.

The Lion King, seeing the changing expressions on the leaders' faces, felt somewhat reassured.

He concluded, "The Empire must not only attend the World Conference in the City of Towers, but it must also attend with its strongest presence and most united demeanor."

"To demonstrate the fangs and power of the Orcish Empire to the world. As for the power struggles at the conference..."

He looked at Golden Eyes and several fox and ape elders known for their wisdom, and said, "Let Elder Golden Eyes, Wisdom Tail, and Long Arm form a think tank and accompany me and Marshal Iron Nose."

"We must make the Night's Watch, the elves, and the humans understand that the Orcish Empire is an indispensable pillar in the war against the Void."

"The interests of the empire must be protected."

"The warriors of the empire will fight on the most glorious battlefield, for the whole world, and for the future of the empire."

"Roar--!!!"

At the opportune moment, Marshal Iron Nose let out a deep, thunderous elephant's roar, accompanied by the gentle slam of his warhammer on the ground, announcing the final resolution of the Lion King's will.

Inside the golden tent, the tribal leaders, each with their own thoughts, whether wary of the meeting or yearning for expansion, could only turn their attention to the letter from the city of the Ring Tower.

However, as everyone knows...

Most of what I just said was nonsense, completely useless.

The Lion King rose and left the golden tent.

He didn't care about the noise behind him.

He was thinking about the real issues.

Given the Night's Watch's power and their attitude of facing an impending global crisis.

Hoping to gain the upper hand is utterly impossible; everyone must obey the Night's Watch's orders. As for logistics, the Night's Watch is renowned for its ample supplies, so there's no need to worry about it. That alone is enough to control everyone.

No hard measures are needed.

Let alone their orcish empire, even those arrogant elves have to lower their attitude when they come to the Night's Watch.

Although the slogans are shouted loudly here.

The World Conference was merely a platform for receiving orders from the Night's Watch.

Of course, whether it's for their own sake or for something else, they have to obey.

……

South City, the highest command center of the Night's Watch.

Alysse's office was still enveloped in the glow of efficient operation and the hum of data streams, but the atmosphere now carried a greater sense of solemnity and urgency than usual, as if a major battle was about to begin.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the city surrounding the tower gleams in the midday sun.

The Tower of Trials stands like a pillar stabilizing the sea.

Inside the office, Alyris sat at the head of the table, which was piled with crystal panels and files, with her adjutant Lena and several key staff members standing solemnly on either side.

A faint smell of ozone, produced by high-intensity computing equipment, filled the air, mixed with the warmth of sunlight streaming through the glass windows.

“Commander,” intelligence officer Serena stepped forward, her voice clear and efficient, as a constantly updating world map was projected onto the data panel in her hand.

Many areas on it were lit up with a stable green light, indicating "confirmed attendance".

"According to the latest feedback, the invitation to the World Conference has received a positive response from the vast majority of the forces of order."

As the light screen swirled, Serena lightly tapped her fingertip, magnifying and highlighting the key areas.

"Anvian Continent: The Emperor of the Empire has confirmed that he will personally lead a delegation; although the twelve leaders of the Commercial City-State Alliance are still vying for representation rights, the alliance as a whole has confirmed its attendance, and the final list of representatives is expected to be finalized within ten days; only two peripheral small countries have explicitly refused."

"The four kings of the World Ring Council of the Continent of Tete—the Sun King, the Night Queen, the Elder of Nature, and the Stargazer—will attend together."

"Bestar Continent: The Lion King of the Orc Empire, along with Marshal Ironnose of the Elephant Clan and his think tank, have confirmed their attendance, which is not expected to affect their schedule."

"Then there are these mage councils and..."

Ariris's gaze swept across the light screen, and a stream of data flashed in her crimson pupils as she quickly processed the information.

She nodded slightly: "As expected. Those who refuse have cut themselves off from the future; there's no need to worry about them further. As for those who have confirmed their attendance..."

She paused on a few names, "Those who came were the true leaders, kings, emperors, parliamentary rulers, and many even brought their crown princes or first in line to the throne."

"It seems they all understand the significance of this meeting and are willing to bet their biggest stakes."

"Yes, Commander."

Another assistant in charge of logistics coordination, Edwin, spoke up with a hint of worry on his face, "With so many important figures arriving at the same time, the security and reception pressures are unprecedented."

"With exactly two months until the conference, should we... organize a large escort fleet in advance to go to the major ports on the continent to welcome them?"
“After all, for a mission of this caliber, traditional methods of teleportation are unsafe and unstable…” He hesitated, clearly concerned about the general distrust of spatial teleportation in the past.

Upon hearing this, Alyris's lips curled into a faint smile, one that exuded absolute confidence.

She leaned back slightly, her gaze seemingly piercing through the office walls, directed towards the core of a spatial power gathering deep within the city.

"An escort fleet? It's a long journey, time-consuming and laborious, and the route is too long and unpredictable, so it's not the optimal solution."

Her voice was steady, with an undeniable determination: "As for the security concerns regarding teleportation... that's a thing of the past."

She raised her hand, her fingertips tracing patterns in the air, and a miniature three-dimensional model, shimmering with complex spatial runes, instantly appeared. At its core was a constantly rotating, tiny door radiating a soft silver light.

“Popot has taken control of space. She is not only a god of Kanah, but also the manifestation and extension of the rules of space itself in this world. The teleportation network supported by her divine power is now far more stable and secure than before.”

Areris's tone conveyed absolute trust in the power of her family's gods.

"The Night's Watch did not conceal the information about Poppot's priesthood. Since the leaders of various countries had decided to come, they must have already weighed their options."

"They can tell which is more important: the fatigue and risks of long journeys or the convenience of instant access and absolute safety."

She looked at Edwin and Serena: "Order: Deploy ten elite Soul Guardian squads, equipped with the latest model of 'Beacon Portable Spatial Door' devices."

"Immediately assign missions to the capitals of major powers or designated safe zones. Upon arrival, in the presence of local envoys or our liaisons, open the spatial gate, with the other end directly anchored to the newly built 'Blue Ring' large teleportation hub outside the South City."

"All invited leaders and their key entourage can safely and efficiently reach the city surrounding the tower through this gate."

"Understood!" Edwin's doubts vanished, and he quickly wrote down the order, his face beaming with excitement.

Using Lord Pope's divine power to construct a direct passage is undoubtedly the most efficient, dignified, and prestigious way to welcome the Night's Watch.

Areris's gaze returned to the pile of tasks before her, her mind clear and swift: "The arrival of the leaders of various countries is only the first step. Every arrangement during the meeting must be flawless, demonstrating the Night's Watch's grandeur and the order of the City of the Tower."

She looked at Leah, the staff member in charge of internal affairs: "Leah, the accommodations for the heads of state and their core teams will be arranged in the 'Starry Dome' diplomatic residence area, with the highest-level welcome suites."

"The security level has been raised to the highest level, with dual coverage from the rules of Kana's divine kingdom and the spatial monitoring of Popper."

"Details such as food, attendants, and etiquette guides must be in accordance with the highest courtesy traditions of each faction, while incorporating the convenience of our data-driven services."

"Remember, the devil is in the details, so don't lose your sense of propriety."

"Yes! The draft plan is ready and will be presented to you for review shortly."

Leah responded immediately, her fingertips already flying across her data pad.

Finally, Alyris's gaze deepened, and she surveyed the crowd before issuing the most crucial instruction.

"Notify all members of the 'Candlelight Council'." Her voice carried a heavy weight. "Tomorrow at noon, an emergency preparatory meeting will be held in the council hall. The core issue: the framework and core charter for the construction of the World Federation."

She paused, her fingertips tapping unconsciously on the table, like a rehearsal for war drums.

"We need to clarify: the power structure of the consortium, the resource integration and allocation mechanism, the wartime command system, the contribution evaluation criteria, and... how to efficiently and fairly transform the power of the Kana's earthly divine kingdom into the war engine of the entire world of order."

"This meeting will lay the foundation for future wars. Let them prepare."

"Yes, sir!" the crowd responded in unison, their voices echoing in the technologically advanced office, carrying a solemnity and determination as they prepared for the final battle.

The moment the order was given, the atmosphere in the office was instantly ignited.

The staff, like intricate gears, began to operate swiftly and silently.

Data flows are transmitted rapidly between panels, and instructions fly to various locations via encrypted channels.

On Serena's light screen map, lines representing the path of action began to radiate outward from the southern hub of the Ring Tower City, connecting to various power centers on the other side of the continent.

Edwin began to gather the files and equipment lists of the Soul Keepers squad.

Leah then brought up the holographic model of the Starry Sky Dome and began to conduct a detailed simulation of the accommodation arrangements.

Aliris remained alone behind the enormous desk, her gaze once again drifting out the window.

two months.

There are only two months left until the bell that will decide the fate of the world rings.

The City of the Rings, a fortress forged from steel, will, and divinity, opens its arms to welcome kings from all directions, to jointly compose the final chapter in the battle against the Void. (End of Chapter)
