Chapter 1000 The Grand War Begins!
The war strategy meeting continued for another hour, along with the distribution of items and weapons.
Many guilds were severely under-geared and completely unprepared for the war. They had almost come here with a free attitude, as if this was still a game. It was real life, and the consequences were life and death.
And to everyone's surprise, United Nations guilds were extremely generous in the item distribution and supplies distribution. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them altruistic at this point.
Even those who did not hold any form of government in high regard couldn't help but admit that right now, the government was truly functioning with the world's well-being in mind. They were not holding back at all in their effort.
"Heh… Is the world truly going to end today?" Alex shook her head, clicking her tongue. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. It was raining frogs.
But at the same time, she also did not care. She was more curious to see where this show was heading toward.
While Alex continued rolling her eyes every other second, a familiar voice sounded next to her. "I also do not trust them." A few familiar faces appeared in the vicinity.
Alex immediately recognized them, thanks to the in-game avatars being exactly the same as the real-world appearance.
"Hello, Mr. Abraki." She nodded with a smile. Assassin's Alliance and Crimson Abyss had always remained neutral with each other. It wouldn't be a stretch even to call that guild an ally.
However, Alex had heard some things which made her keep her reservations.
Particularly, she had heard that the vice-guild leader of the Assassin's Alliance wasn't as supportive of Crimson Abyss as guild leader Abraki. Not to mention, that guy was standing right next to Abraki.
"Hello, Miss Alex."
"Hello."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries. Elijah, the vice-guild leader, spoke up first, "So, Miss Alex, may I know what level you have currently reached?"
Immediately, several faces, including Rey, turned to look in that direction, all with strange expressions on their faces.
But before any of them could say anything, Abraki responded first. "Elijah! Stop! That's a very intrusive question. Don't you know how to act?" The man actually scolded his most trusted aide right in front of everyone.
Alex smiled, seeing this. She did not care as she already knew about this dynamic. "That's a secret." She playfully replied and lightened up the mood.
However, the other party did not seem to get the cue as he once again probed, "Just like how you somehow managed to bring out your guild's legendary weapons from the game to the real world?"
"Who knows." Alex shrugged.
They had already made the decision to put everything out in the open, so she did not bother hiding things now. This was the grand stage for their guild. There was no need to play it low-key anymore.
"Elijah!" Abraki, on the other hand, was furious. He did not know why but his best friend of several years did not seem to understand one key concept.
Do not go against Liam!
In the end, he could only sigh and say a few more polite words to smooth things over before excusing himself from the group. He had originally gone over there to make their presence known and maybe fight together, but now it had all gone to waste.
The group regretfully returned back. "You could have stayed silent, you know." Abraki sighed.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m
"What for?" Elijah scoffed. "You know, with today, everything is coming to an end, right? There will be no more Crimson Abyss."
Abraki looked at his friend and again let out a sigh. "You are saying this because of that Oracle?"
"He can see the future, you know. Don't you think he would have seen the outcome already? Why else would you think he has everyone assembled here?"
"Hmmm…"
"What? You don't have an argument?"
Abraki silently smiled. After a while, he looked back at Alex with various thoughts in his mind. "Is the future really set in stone?" He mumbled under his breath in a low voice, only for himself to hear.
No matter what, the answer would be revealed soon. For now, they just needed to do their best in this war and survive. After all, unlike that monster, he did not have the ability to worry about these things.
Abraki quickly resumed discussing his guild members. On the side, the guild vice-leader Elijah alone continued to glance ever so often at Crimson Abyss, his eyes narrowed as if he was thinking deeply about something.
But his actions did not go as unnoticed as he thought. "Sis, that guy is still staring at us." Rey laughed and said. "They are also in the same battalion as us. Do you think that he is going to try something fishy?"
"Hmmm… I don't know. Do you have a list of every guild in our battalion?" Alex looked over, surveying their team members.
However, most of them seemed to be new faces, except for Abraki and the Assassin's Alliance. There were also people from all sorts of races, countries, and backgrounds. It really did not look like there was any plot that was specifically brewing against Crimson Abyss.
In reality, many other guilds also warily looked at their battalion mates, wondering the same thing. Though they were not as publicly hated as Crimson Abyss, it was natural to be on the lookout for any last-minute coups.
After all, everyone here did not know each other from Adam, and once this battle was over, they were not going to be allies anymore, just competitors.
Another hour passed by just like this, with everyone eying each other in vigilance, if not praising the government guilds for their timely help and support.
This continued for some more time when it was almost noon, and finally, it looked like the war preparations were completed once and for all.
A solemn mood blanketed the huge army as the sounds of war started ringing loudly.
With the different Generals releasing the war cry, the six battalions scattered in six different directions, moving quickly to surround the red zone! The Grand War had officially begun!
