A different world game? A different world game!

Chapter 163 Like a Mad Dog
Cathedral of Avmea.

This is a church located in the capital of the Kingdom of Korn, donated by the nobles and citizens of the Kingdom of Korn.

It is also the largest Holy Light Church in the Kingdom of Cohen and its surrounding areas.

Bishop Avaken was currently in a copying room in the church.

Holding a pen with flowing magic power in his hand, he was writing something on a scroll covered with magic power.

"How are those vampires doing now?"

He asked as he wrote.

Behind him, a paladin replied, "Bishop, after those vampires took over the area north of the Ai'er River, they stopped attacking.

They should be digesting the land they have conquered."

Hearing this, the bishop sighed.

“How many civilians have not been evacuated?”

"About 200 million."

"..."

The archbishop put down the pen in his hand, turned around, and looked at the knight's expression behind him with some confusion.

"so little?"

The land that has fallen now is almost half of the Kingdom of Cohen, including several earldoms, including the princedom.

When the city was about to be breached, the information had already been delivered to the mansions of these earls.

However, they were slow to evacuate the refugees.

In this case, only 200 million people are left on such a large piece of land, which is already a very good result.

Unexpectedly, the knight's face became heavy, and he sighed and said, "Those are only the civilians who are recorded. There are many others who are not recorded, as well as servants of the nobles."

Hearing this, the bishop frowned.

"Those damned pigs."

Naturally, he was cursing the useless nobles of the Kingdom of Cohen, a common sight in every kingdom.

It's just a change of name.

Those nobles had a large number of serfs and servants, not to mention the many poor people and vagrants in society.

These are simply impossible to count.

But what the bishop was more worried about was that so many people had fallen into the hands of the vampires, and he didn't know how many of them would become the source of their military strength.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Has the Cathedral replied?"

According to previous news, the bishop probably knew that the archbishop had discussed the current issue of vampires with many countries in the cathedral and at the international conference organized by the Church of Holy Light.

According to the inside information he received, if everything goes smoothly, the vampires will become the target of public criticism.

But it's too slow.

It has been almost four months since the fall of Limestone Fortress, and there is still no definite news.

Once the news is confirmed, it will take a long time to plan the troop assembly.

By then, the Blood Clan Royal Court won’t know how much disaster it has caused.

The paladin shook his head.

The bishop sighed.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. After pushing it open, a paladin was standing outside.

"What's the matter?" asked the Bishop.

"The latest news is that the vampires have started attacking from the sea by boat and have already captured Sancha Port in the Minx Alliance.

The Flower Islands have also been attacked, and according to reports, the Land of Chaos has also been attacked."

Upon hearing this news, the bishop stood still with a frown on his face.

"What are they trying to do? What's the point of attacking so many forces at the same time?"

The bishop couldn't help but ask himself.

The Paladin next to him said in confusion: "These vampire monsters are really crazy, but at least the defense of the Ai'er River will be easier now."

After figuring something out, the bishop shook his head and said, "They may not have considered continuing the attack from the beginning. They just wanted to take over half of the territory."

As we learned in the previous meeting at the Graystone Fortress, what the vampires want is to open up a land passage and obtain enough population.

The area east of the Aire River in the Kingdom of Cohen is sufficient, and there is no mention of several ports and a large number of ships there.

As for the fact that it has basically been confirmed that the vampires have the means to search for the fragments of the Stone of Creation, it has already been taken into consideration.

After receiving this information, the bishop calmed down and turned back to continue copying something on the scroll.

But I still ask from time to time.

"Is Her Highness the Saint's operation going smoothly?"

"It went relatively smoothly. The cultists in Jinmai City have been completely eliminated. However, under the influence of the cultists, it will take a long time for the city to recover.

There are too many cultists in Beihua Port, and they seem to have been hiding there for a long time. Some nobles are also providing them with assistance.

Your Highness, the Saint is currently focusing on clearing out the cultists there."

The expansion of the Blood Clan Royal Court led to the rapid expansion of the cultists in their army.

These cultists are omnipresent and scattered everywhere. Many of them have even sneaked into refugee camps, where they spread the belief in evil gods.

Now many places in the Kingdom of Cohen have become a mess.

Now the figures of cultists can be seen almost everywhere, and in some villages and wilderness, one can even find villages that have been almost completely massacred.

It was one ritual and sacrificial site after another.

These cultists have become so rampant that they are lawless.

The bishop suddenly thought of the Night's Watch and asked, "Is there any news about the Night's Watch? Or any news about the Eastern Wilds?"

"No, almost all the roads leading there have been cut off, and there are also vampire warships on the sea.

The Eastern Wilds have been practically surrounded by the vampires, becoming an isolated island."

Hearing this, the bishop could only sigh and nodded helplessly.

"I'd really like to communicate with them. They are committed to saving the world and annihilating the invading evil god's organization."

The reason for my interest is mainly because I got the news about these Night Watchmen from Her Highness the Saint.

The news we received was that this organization was not just talking big, but was quite powerful in fighting against evil gods and dealing with some professional issues concerning evil gods.

Just as he knew about the information about the Night's Watch, the Night's Watch was really doing this.

This is a hundred benefits and no harm to the Holy Light Church.

The Church of the Holy Light doesn't feel that the Night's Watch is stealing their position or competing with them. Over the years, the Church of the Holy Light's position has become unshakable.

Unless they have internal problems.

The reason for cracking down on cultists is simply because ordinary civilians are always the ones who are most harmed by cultists.

The Holy Light Church's core base is actually these civilians, and the Holy Light Church is in conflict with the middle-level leaders of many national forces.

These guys who only care about profit really make the people of the Holy Light Church sick.

After all, if you want to join the Church of Holy Light, it is not enough to just talk about it, but you must truly believe in the teachings of Holy Light and practice them.

Otherwise, the Holy Light will not favor them, which naturally leads to huge conflicts between them and the country's aristocracy.

Not many nobles want their descendants to become compassionate and just people.

It is always a good thing to have more organizations targeting cultists.

……

Eastern Wilds.

The area south of the grassland.

A team of less than a hundred people moved quickly through the forest.

The mounts they rode moved swiftly through the dense jungle with almost no hindrance.

"We're almost there. Our temporary camp isn't far away."

Maxim said.

After a while, the leader slowed down his pace.

A figure jumped down from the tree trunks and leaves not far away. It was an elf.

"Maxim, you're back." The elf who spoke looked at Kana and others behind him.

He quickly recognized who Kana and his men were. After all, the previous conflict was still fresh in the elves' memory. Maxim nodded.

He led everyone all the way to the elves' camp.

Kana observed the structure of the elves' camp. It was rather simple and it was obvious that they were not planning to use it as a long-term residence.

It was just an ordinary tent with some tree trunks and grass leaves, but these elves had managed to build a camp that was quite beautiful. Seeing this, Cana could only express his admiration.

With Maxim's return, the originally gloomy atmosphere in the elf camp became slightly more lively. The elves stood up and looked at Maxim and his companions.

They hope to get useful news, hopeful news.

Maxim looked at them and said, "I've brought friends with me, they're night watchmen. We had a conflict last time due to a misunderstanding, but our paths are the same."

When we asked for help, they offered it.”

After saying this, the elves below began to stir involuntarily.

This sudden news surprised them a little, but fortunately Maxim at least had a good reputation, and no elf jumped out to object at this time.

It was obvious that many elves looked at Kana and the others and did not regard them as friends.

Their eyes were full of vigilance and slight dissatisfaction.

It was already dusk.

Everyone set up a camp and took a simple rest.

The chocobos wandering around attracted the attention of most elves. In the elven kingdom, many elves had tried to tame chocobos.

But only a very few elves have won the favor of Chocobo, and large-scale breeding and taming have never been successful.

The reason why a certain number of elves succeeded was mainly due to some of their abilities and their natural affinity with animals.

When these elves saw Kana and the others riding Chocobos, they were very curious, but the conflict interrupted their curiosity.

Now that they had the chance, they gathered around the Chocobos, touching them here and there, and even feeding them.

Seeing that someone was willing to feed it, the Chocobo was not annoyed and allowed these elves to touch and bump into it.

Kana could already see from afar that the forest not far away was obviously different from here. It looked more lush and full of life.

This is because the Tree of Life is planted on the node of magic. As the Tree of Life grows, the magical essence of the Tree of Life will radiate to the surrounding areas targeting the node of magic.

The breath of life and nature will make the surrounding animals and plants flourish and be full of vitality.

"Is that the area where you planted the Tree of Life?"

At this time, Shiswanta, who was next to Kana, looked at it and nodded.

"Yes, that's where we planted it. Planting the Tree of Life will boost the surrounding plants and give them a stronger life."

The perfection of the Tree of Life lies in its near-harmlessness, providing various bonuses to the surrounding area wherever it is planted.

So for elves, food is always something that does not require too much consideration.

There is no need to plant them deliberately. There are fruit trees full of fruits where they live, on the streets they walk on, and everywhere in the city.

Some fruit trees have even reached the point where they only harvest fruit once a month. In addition, the elves' population is not very large, and food has never been something they care about.

Kana looked at the area and originally wanted to go take a look, but then he thought better of it and decided to go tomorrow.

In the camp, I chatted with everyone while looking at the messages in the chat box.

Even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can still get each other's information through the chat box.

[Sergio: These vampires are so annoying. They can't attack us, but they keep harassing us.

Those skinless monsters are like wild dogs, trying to get in anytime and anywhere.

[Black: Has the vampire clan already launched an attack on Ashforge?]

[Tovey: It's not that exaggerated. They couldn't even take the northern outpost. The rugged mountain roads caused them too much difficulty.]

Sergio: Those dwarf rangers gave those annoying big bats a hard time.

[Nardo: The Night Watch apprentices in the training camp may need some combat.]

No matter how much faith you have, it is not as good as a battle on the battlefield. With the blessing of the Night's Watch, Nadeau has more extensive requirements for the Night's Watch's practical training.

After all, with proper planning, the Night's Watch shouldn't lose their lives fighting on the battlefield.

You can also quickly accumulate experience and get used to combat.

And eliminate a group of people who are really not suitable for fighting.

There are many people who may be brave and aggressive, but often show cowardice in real battles and on the battlefield.

These all need to be eliminated, anyway there are still secondary occupations to let them shine.

If it really doesn't work, it's completely fine to just rely on physical strength to do some odd jobs.

The long battery life brought by the blessing of data is really too convenient.

Not to mention that there are now relatively complete reserves of medicines and medical supplies, enough to save people in emergencies.

Sergio: Are you coming?

【Nardo: Blake?】

[Blake: You can try. Let's prepare a 300-man force first.]

[George: I am planning to build some reconnaissance outposts west of the Eastern Wilderness.

With a map, we can place reconnaissance outposts throughout the Eastern Wilds. If properly placed, we will have full control over the entire Eastern Wilds situation.

[Kana: You can try, but we don't need to master everything. We just need to set up reconnaissance points at key nodes.]

After all, although they now have a large number of night watchmen, they are distributed in various places, and many places need night watchmen.

【"Big Loudspeaker" Channel】

This is the channel that Kana and his friends use specifically for chatting.

[Getari: Have you arrived yet? It's been a few days already.]

[Lelia: We've reached the elves. These elves aren't as arrogant as the ones we met before.]

【Abis: It’s much more pleasing to the eye.】

Beckett: I really want to see what a non-cocky elf looks like.

[Aliris: Are the elves outside really that annoying? ]

[Popot: Haha, they are more than annoying, it makes people want to spit in their faces.

The attitudes of the elves we first met were already considered good. Some of the nobles among the elves were ten times more annoying than this.

[Getari: It's hard to imagine. Just thinking about it makes me want to fight them.]

【George: But those elves are pretty.】

【Kecha: Yes, it is indeed very beautiful, elegant and beautiful.】

[Lean: Yes, it is really perfect.]

[Popot: I don't know what's going on in your heads. Think about it, any elf is bigger than your grandmother.]

【George: Don’t say that. After all, the concepts of different races are different.】

【Lelia: Why doesn't anyone praise me for being beautiful? 】

The whole channel was quiet for a while

[George: You're beautiful too, but... well, we'd be good brothers.]

Kana peeked at the screen, watching the noisy chatter of the crowd.

After watching for a while, I closed my eyes and began to think about the purpose of this trip in my mind.

This matter of the elf was actually not within his foresight. After all, the plot had changed beyond recognition after his first meeting with the elf.

However, given the elves' behavior and personality, they will definitely encounter problems in this forest that they cannot solve.

I just didn't expect to hit such a big one all of a sudden.

But this is indeed a perfect entry point, at least for Kana.

After entering the Eastern Wilderness and establishing a settlement, Kana had actually been thinking about the existence that the entire Eastern Wilderness needed to contact the most.

That's the giant beast.

This giant beast must be encountered eventually. When and how to encounter it requires thinking and waiting.

Not to mention Kana and other night watchmen, who really need to enter the place where the giant beast is suppressing and guarding.

That is the area where the Night's Watch must go.

It is a good opportunity for the current Night's Watch to make a big leap in strength.
