A different world game? A different world game!

Chapter 191: Divide the Forces and Start a Fire
On both sides of the road leading to the city of Lubeck.

And look at the city wall further away.

The area has been taken over by makeshift tents and shacks.

This is the refugee camp.

Dust flew along the narrow paths between the tents, obscuring the original earthy color.

The thin figures of children shuttled through the wasteland, while the adults were busy under the scorching sun, trying to find hope for life in the wasteland.

There was a faint stench in the air, a smell of dirt, a smell like disease, and a bloody smell.

Some of the soldiers behind His Royal Highness the Prince couldn't help but cover their noses. The stench here was unbearable for them.

More people looked at the refugees with disgust.

Many of the night watchmen could clearly see some refugees in the camp who seemed to be suffering from illness.

Most of the refugees were very thin and wore tattered and dirty clothes.

As Kana and his companions walked towards the city gate, the refugees stared at them.

There was envy and pleading in his eyes, but more of it was numbness.

"Why doesn't this country rescue and settle these humans?" Lulilus, one of the last two elves following Kana, couldn't help but ask.

Kana didn't answer, but Popot explained instead.

"Of course there are too many. There are too many people here, several times more than in the city.

Half of the country's territory has been occupied, and it has been occupied for more than half a year. The entire country has long been experiencing food shortages.

The city residents themselves can't even get enough to eat, so how can they possibly share their food with the refugees?"

Lawrence, who was walking in front, looked around.

Look at those refugees.

These refugees were once citizens of this country, but now they have lost their homes and everything.

Lawrence looked at the look in these people's eyes.

He wanted to remember this.

The hands holding the reins squeezed tighter and tighter.

[Kana: George, send a team of "night watchmen" to sneak into the refugee camp. There are definitely a large number of cultists here.

By the way, let them see if there are any suitable talents. I believe they will be willing to join the Night's Watch.

【George: Yes, I’ll do it right away.】

George rode his Chocobo and slowly fell behind, chatting with the Night Watchmen who followed behind.

Soon, a team of night watchmen who stood out from the refugees of the Kingdom of Cohen left the team.

Along the way, they looked at the surrounding situation and entered the city.

Things got much better once we entered the city.

But compared to some prosperous cities, the atmosphere in this city is still depressed.

The outside world was almost full of refugees, and they were running low on food.

All the way to the castle.

Alicia took Kana and the others into a reception room.

After sitting down, Alicia said directly: "Since half of the territory of the Kingdom of Cohen fell, a large number of vampire cultists have invaded.

In most cities in the remaining half of the country, the belief in evil gods was stirred up, causing all kinds of chaos.

There are too many cultists. Even though most people in the church have started to take action, they are still a bit exhausted."

As she spoke, she looked at Kana and said, "Take Lubeck for example now. This small city has endured too many refugees.

This has led to conflicts here, and the cultists are thriving here, with several cultists believing in different evil gods gathering here."

After listening to Alicia's words, Cana nodded slightly, then said, "You mean, you are extremely short of manpower?"

Alicia nodded: "The Holy Light Church doesn't have many troops in the Kingdom of Cohen.

During the peaceful period when the Kingdom of Cohen had not yet encountered any problems, although the royal family had good relations with the church, the vast majority of the nobles were not satisfied with the existence of the church.

This means that no church in the kingdom is allowed to have too many troops."

Khanna was not surprised by this.

After all, this is indeed an extraordinary world with strange powers, and the church does indeed possess the power of holy light.

Possessing the power of holy light means that the members of the church must be people with positive beliefs.

They will never flatter the nobles and become corrupt.

This will only cause the Holy Light to turn away from them, and then they will be judged in the church.

As Alicia spoke, she looked at Lawrence next to her.

Being watched, Lawrence coughed and said, “The kingdom does not have too many troops, and most of the troops need to be deployed on the border of the Snake Bend River.

After all, no one can guarantee when those monsters on the opposite side will rush over."

Alicia also sighed: "Now there is a dead end. Half of the country has fallen, and there are too many refugees.

There are almost no good countermeasures to deal with it.”

"Then why not guide these refugees out?" Popot couldn't help but ask.

Since he couldn't bear it, he would guide these refugees. These refugees would naturally go to different places, not necessarily to the Kingdom of Cohen.

When war breaks out, refugees in the war-torn country will basically flee to other countries.

It is not normal for so many refugees to live here. It must be done on purpose.

Alicia glanced at Popot.

"Those nobles won't allow so many people to leave. They still need people to cultivate the land they've recaptured."

Hearing this, Cana looked at Alicia: "It seems that the church has taken action?"

Alicia did not hide too much about this because there was no point.

"The actions of the vampires have angered many countries and forces. Now, representatives of many countries and forces have come to the Kingdom of Cohen.

I just don't know why, but they haven't reached a consensus yet, causing the vampires to continue wreaking havoc."

After all, Alicia's job now is to eliminate the cultists and she is not in the royal capital, so his understanding of intelligence has become slower.

On the contrary, Lawrence, who had just arrived here from the royal capital, knew more.

Said: "Representatives of various countries have almost reached an agreement, but they need some time to gather their troops, which is not so easy."

Although this world has extraordinary power and magic, transportation has not changed much.

Moreover, the forces represented by these representatives are not only in this continent, but also in other continents.

After all, what the Blood Clan Royal Court displays is so attractive that even the elves will send people there.

The struggle and distribution of interests made them argue for a long time.

Hearing this, Alicia seemed to react and looked at Lawrence: "So this is why the royal family sent you here at this time, is it because they want you to comfort those refugees?"

Since representatives from various countries have begun to assemble their troops, it is obvious that the vampires cannot resist.

Then that half of the country should be able to be recovered. The royal family was also afraid that too many refugees would flee, resulting in a large area of ​​empty land once that half of the territory was recovered.

So they want to make life difficult for these refugees.

Lawrence nodded. This was what he came here to do.

It was already dark outside.

Alicia said, "It's getting late. I'll have someone arrange for you to rest."

"That would be perfect."

Soon, the brief meeting was disbanded.

Alicia and Lawrence are now basically the two most powerful people in the city.

As a strange outsider, Kana felt that he was lucky.

After all, they met Alicia as soon as they arrived, who had at least fought alongside them and knew more about their existence.

If it were someone else, it would be a little troublesome.

A brief meeting, at least let them know each other's current goals.

As everyone left.

Alicia looked at Lawrence: “Now that you’ve seen it, what do you think?”

Lawrence thought for a moment and said, "It's slightly different from what I expected. Their leader is very young, even younger than me.

But these Night's Watchmen are very strange, there are even elves among them."

This was something Lawrence hadn't expected. He had also dealt with elves before. Most people couldn't stand that look.

This was even though he was a prince and still somewhat respected by the elves.

But the Kana in front of him was followed by two elves, and they seemed to be his subordinates.

This is absolutely outrageous.

"Doesn't this also indirectly prove that the leader of the Night's Watch is a capable person?" Alicia said. After all, the elves are quite proud, and their current power is indeed at the top of the world.

This results in very few elves becoming subordinates of others.

"That doesn't mean anything." Lawrence shook his head.

We should not speculate too much because of this.

"I heard that the Church of Holy Light also has many elves, right?"

Hearing this, Alicia did not refute.

After all, this is a global organization, and the Church of Holy Light is spread across every continent.

Nature and elves have exchanges and cooperation in all aspects, so it is normal for there to be elves as members.

"The one presiding over the council this time, Ms. Vionasha, seems to be a saint as well."

Lawrence looked at Alicia with some curiosity, because the Saint Lady was an elf.

"She is my predecessor." Alicia said without further explanation.

Seeing that Alicia didn't want to say more, Lawrence didn't ask too much, but brought the topic back.

"What do you think the purpose of these night watchmen is?"

"Of course it's to eliminate the cultists." Alicia said directly.

Hearing this, Lawrence looked at Alicia with a strange look.

Alicia, the Holy Fire Saint, has been operating in the Kingdom of Cohen for a long time.

In addition, the royal family of the Kingdom of Cohen and the Church of Holy Light are on good terms, so the two can be considered familiar with each other.

"Do you really think so?" Lawrence was a little surprised.

Alicia glanced at him and said, "You don't understand. Maybe he does have other purposes, but his main goal must be to eliminate the cultists."

"Why are you so sure? Did you learn anything from the last time you acted with them?" Lawrence suddenly became curious.

"Perhaps, you will know soon."

Just like the Church of Holy Light.

The source of their power determines their purity.

……

That night.

Kana's resting place.

One room was still brightly lit.

Kana and the Night's Watch leaders he brought with him gathered here.

It seems like they are preparing to communicate something here.

"Shall we split up our forces now?" George asked.

After all, the strategy of dividing the troops had been decided before. Their purpose this time was not only to eliminate the cultists, but also to lay a solid foundation in various cities.

Build an intelligence network based on people.

And their advantage in this regard is ridiculously large.

However, they are relatively unfamiliar with the process, so they can use the current chaotic Cohen Kingdom to accumulate experience.

Cana looked at the map on the table.

He first looked at Sarika: "Which city are you planning to go to first?"

After all, the purpose of Sallyka and the others' actions is to establish the Night's Watch's own Chamber of Commerce, and Sallyka herself is the helmsman of a Chamber of Commerce.

Not to mention that she has been away from the Chamber of Commerce for quite some time now. If she wants to take charge of the Chamber of Commerce again, it will obviously take some time and means.

“Jinmai City is where the Pointer Chamber of Commerce is located, and it is also my hometown.

There is a branch in Bosha Port, which is also where the Chamber of Commerce was planning to expand.”

Sarika said something.

Kana looked at the map and recalled the information contained in the two maps in his mind.

After a moment's thought, he said directly, "Then, Sallyka, you will take the people from the [Guild of Commerce] and a team of [Night Watchmen] back to Golden Wheat City, regain control of the Pointer Guild, and establish a firm foothold."

Sarika nodded.

Kana looked at the map and continued, "George, divide two teams of Night Watchmen and head to Bosha Harbor to launch the operation."

"The capital has also sent two teams to lie in wait for us to arrive."

After Kana made the arrangements, everyone took action.

The reason why these cities are temporarily arranged is mainly because there are some important NPCs and some resources that need to be collected in these cities.

After all, I have already had a large-scale impact on the plot of the game, and many things are no longer accurate.

Only after the night watchmen arrived in their respective cities and understood the local situation could Kana make the next arrangements based on the known situation.

The next day.

early morning.

Kana and the others had just woken up and were about to go out.

A paladin rode up to their resting place.

This paladin was none other than Anita, who they were all familiar with, and one of the saint's guard knights.

"Anita?" Alice was a little confused.

Anita nodded and said anxiously, "Her Highness the Saint needs help and needs the Night Watchmen to go. I'm here to report the news."

Kana nodded.

The people he brought directly rode on Chocobos and followed Anita quickly.

This time, Anita took everyone out of the city directly.

Go past the refugee camp and go straight on the country road.

Until we arrived at a village far away from the city.

At this time, the village had become a burned ruin.

Only thick smoke remained, drifting into the sky from time to time.

Around the village, the Saint and Lawrence were behind them, with a large number of soldiers.

Kana and others walked over.

The fire in the village has been basically put out, with only a few scattered areas still emitting sparks.

Some soldiers moved through the burned village, trying to find if there were any survivors.

In front of the saint, there were several burnt corpses.

It was a body found from the rubble.

"What's going on here?" Kana asked.

Alicia glanced at him and said directly, “As you can see, it was burned by a fire, and the flames were not extinguished until recently.

No one knows what happened here and they are searching to see if there are any survivors.”

"Are they cultists or bandits?" Lawrence asked.

If it was done by a cultist, he wouldn't be able to tell.

Alicia shook her head: "There's no way to know now."

At this time, Kana said directly: "Go and take a look."

George gestured back.

A team of [Night Watchmen] came out directly.

The captain nodded at Kana.

He walked straight in with his men.

Seeing this behavior, Alicia and Lawrence both fell silent and looked carefully at the team of night watchmen.

Lawrence was curious about the makeup of the Night's Watch and their abilities.

Alicia was curious about how the Night Watch had changed after nearly a year.
After all, the Night Watchmen had already demonstrated their professionalism in this area before.

Soon, the night watchmen began searching the entire village.

They seemed to be looking for something, wandering around in the ruins.

Observe some details from time to time.

Seeing such behavior, Lawrence was a little confused, but he did not express any opinion. After all, he was completely blank in this area.

Alicia was also a little confused.

"What are they doing?"
