The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 740 - 422: Gaps in the Eastern Wilderness

After observing carefully for quite a while,

Alphonse finally stood up: "I've heard about these rats; they say they've become followers of the Evil God?"

"Not only that, the Evil God they worship is formed from the interference of the Evil Gods of both our world and the outer one.

As for the power, it's easier for it to be wielded here than by the outer Evil Gods," explained the Combat Master beside him.

Hearing this, Alphonse nodded knowingly.

"No wonder there's a very faint trace of Evil God's power left in this soil, one I hadn't seen before."

"Oh? We've checked thoroughly, and hadn't seen such readings before,"

a scholar beside them couldn't help but say.

After all, they've used the bone ash formed from those rats.

"No need to worry, it's very normal and will have virtually no impact. From the moment I set foot on this continent, every inch of land has such subtle residues.

It's like the magic power in the air — even I need to look for a long time to find a trace."

Simply put, this is a very normal and unavoidable situation, with almost no impact whatsoever.

And even if there is an impact, it would be so subtle as to be undetectable.

"Let me try planting some first," said Alphonse.

With that, he waved his hand, making the previously tilled field flip automatically, with the soil rolling like waves.

He then scattered a large amount of seeds evenly on it, burying them amid the rolling soil.

With the rolling, the soil also became soft.

Magic power emanated, and rain clouds appeared in the sky, just enough to cover the field, with rain falling subsequently.

The vines entwining Alphonse also sprouted tender green shoots, even budding into small flowers.

A green-tinted breeze blew gently.

The falling rain made the seeds in the soil germinate rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This incredible sight left everyone around them stunned.

Only the Combat Master beside him looked as if it were to be expected.

Soon, the seeds grew, with thumb-sized small fruits appearing on the branches.

He plucked one, tossed it into his mouth, and tasted it.

"No problem, but the Evil God's magic power on this continent is indeed a bit more than elsewhere, causing the ripening time to slow by half a day to a day or so."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and a large amount of fruit automatically fell and gathered into baskets beside him.

Meanwhile, those branches withered and decayed completely, subsequently becoming fertilizer for the land.

This casual action left everyone present in awe; no one doubted Alphonse's ability anymore.

"Let those farmers come over; I want to see if there are any promising seedlings."

...

Anwein Continent.

The area where the Night Watcher Headquarters is located.

The border area between the Eastern Wilderness and the Liberty City Alliance.

Originally, this forest, due to Cui Yu's presence, was regarded by neither side as a passable boundary area.

However, Cui Yu has long since become the Guardian of the Night Watcher Headquarters, and with the Liberty City Alliance engulfed in total warfare,

a large number of refugees could hardly care less, continuously pouring into the Eastern Wilderness from this direction.

But the problem is that the Void Pit and the Elf Village are both below this boundary line.

The Night Watchers had to set up a large checkpoint on the boundary line and establish a camp,

specifically responsible for receiving the refugees.

Inside the camp,

"Have there been fewer refugees lately?" a Night Watcher asked.

They were observing the surroundings from a watchtower beside them.

Their teammate nodded.

"Much fewer, half a year ago it was overwhelming, we were run off our feet."

Half a year ago was when the entire Liberty City Alliance and the Empire were in full-scale war.

The flames of war spread throughout the entire region.

The Night Watchers didn't dare linger in that area, fearful of being caught between the warring parties.

In such a chaotic war,

followers of the Blood God were continuously emerging.

"Even at this time, they're still fighting..." muttered the Night Watcher beside him.

"It's quite normal. Whether it's the Emperor of the Empire or the officials, or even the common people, they all really dislike their neighboring country.

Not fighting is simply impossible."

The companion beside him was a citizen of the Empire, who had now become a Night Watcher.

Suddenly, the two saw a small commotion in the camp below.

Among the refugees, appeared a convoy seemingly unrelated to the term 'refugee.'

"Here they come again."

"Yes, these nobles are really annoying one by one."

"They probably think they can act like tyrants by going to Life Green City; it'll be interesting to see when the time comes."

"Hahaha, when I was resting before, I saw quite a few of these."

The two laughed heartily.

After all, fleeing were not only refugees but also some city nobles.

They fled with the wealth of the city.

The reason they fled here is due to the Night Watchers having certain treaties with the Empire.

For instance, they couldn't destroy or slaughter civilians without cause.

After all, they are a potential force to face future crises; preserving some is better than none.

That's also the limit of what the Night Watchers can do in the current chaotic war.

In return, the Night Watchers shall clear Evil God followers within the opposing forces and territories.

So many years have passed, and all factions have realized the harm of these Evil God's influence.

Moreover, most Night Watchers still have to assist various forces to form their own special units against the Evil God's influence.

Anyway, now the Night Watchers are rapidly standing shoulder to shoulder with large neutral forces like the Holy Light Church.

And for these fleeing nobles entering the domain of the Night Watchers, it depends on whether they are willing to change.

At least from the current situation, the vast majority are unwilling to change, and those unwilling will break the rules set by the Night Watchers and then face judgment.

"Recently, I've heard there's another mage sect out there doing things in the war even more vile than the cultists."

"Mages, you know, will always have one rogue or another."

Most Night Watchers are aware of their previous conflict with the Mage United Council.

Some of these mages were really audacious.

Even those collaborating with the Evil God followers were not few.

But some were okay since they often cooperated with the Night Watchers.

"Ah, anyway, the Empire should win, so the war here will finally quiet down for a while."

"Do you think the Empire will take this great victory as a chance to continue waging war externally?"

"I don't know, probably not? After all, this war has consumed quite a bit, and there's so much territory to digest after preparing for so long."

"Hard to say, for many, war can be quite profitable."

"Is there any Commerce Association profit?"

"Ours?"

"Yes."

"Certainly not."
