The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 883 - 565: The Deep Pit

Outside the United Army's defense line, within the camp of Chaos Forces.

Representatives from different factions of Chaos Forces have gathered here, sitting in a circle.

All around, there is a scene of total chaos with demons, evil creatures, and transformed monsters freely roaming.

Among the seated representatives, a plague believer emitting green pus and stench sits, looking slightly weakened.

Such a scene is rare, causing the unnatural beings standing around to steal glances.

It's known that the plague believers under the Plague Monarch are famed for their resilience and strong life force, but now in such a state, it proves he suffered significant injuries in previous battles.

Moreover, the injuries must have been inflicted with some high power, making recovery challenging.

Because as long as the plague believer doesn't die in combat, they can easily recover after the battle.

"What did you see?" asked the believer of Shadow, whose strange eyes in the darkness stared intently.

The plague believer waved his hand and said, "I didn't see the Gate of Void at all. The place you transported me to is far from the Gate of Void. As soon as I appeared, I encountered the Night Watchers; there's a large gathering of Night Watchers there."

Upon hearing this, everyone present nodded, as it matched the intelligence they currently possessed.

After all, they are in a standoff with the Night Watchers and the United Army, with their objectives initially achieved, their offensive is gradually slowing. After all, even these Chaos Forces cannot endure long-term attrition.

Under these circumstances, the United Army hasn't launched any attacks but instead is reinforcing their defenses.

According to the intelligence they gathered, a certain number of Night Watchers have been redeployed from each defense line.

Although they cannot determine where these Night Watchers have been deployed to, past actions suggest that these Night Watchers are undoubtedly returning to the core area to respond to crises there.

"After fighting them for less than two minutes, the Night Watchers leader Kana personally appeared before me. I had to exert all my strength to escape." The plague believer said with lingering fear. In fact, if the Plague Monarch hadn't protected him by granting him more power, he might have perished then and there.

"So soon? Hahaha, it seems our objective has been achieved. Otherwise, the Night Watchers' leader wouldn't have appeared so quickly, indicating he is stationed there now." The believer of Shadow spoke with a relieved tone.

"That's good; I wouldn't want to pay such a hefty price without any returns." Said the Barbarian King, who looked the most normal among those present. After all, his tribe members suffered heavy casualties while attacking the United Army's defenses, merely to distract the Night Watchers' powers and attention.

"Don't worry, my friend. The United Army is struggling to cope now; it's a Gate of Void that, once opened, cannot be closed. The endless Void Creatures will pour out from the gate, which they simply cannot withstand, until they are completely engulfed." The believer of Shadow couldn't help but laugh heartily, appearing utterly delighted.

"Haha, let those fellows be devoured; eventually, this continent will be under the control of the Ratmen!" The rat laughed excitedly with a piercing sound.

The unusual thing was that none of those present interrupted the rat descender. Instead, they all looked at him with a peculiar expression.

Only the Barbarian King, when looking at the rat, showed some unique emotions, shaking his head somewhat wistfully.

He is different from the Ratmen; he commands elite strike forces, making up for the Ratmen's shortcomings, thus he sees further ahead.

After all, the majority of the Ratmen's faith is concentrated on their race's evil god; the Four Gods of Chaos find it difficult to gain sufficient faith and debased recompense from the Ratmen.

These Ratmen are inherently debased, requiring little intervention from Chaos Forces. They are but tools used to provoke war, disrupt the world, and distract the Night Watchers. Chaos Forces find it challenging to gain much practical benefit from Ratmen, and if the Ratmen forces grow too strong, they might even have to share interests, creating an additional competitor.

But the Barbarians don't have such concerns. For various reasons, the Four Gods of Chaos develop their faith within their tribes.

All beings born among the Barbarians with legendary potential have long pledged allegiance to different evil gods. In the eyes of the evil gods, these barbarians are their own people, easy to control and handy pawns.

The Barbarian King naturally understands what the Void is and what disaster it can bring.

After all, during his descent, the evil gods once allowed him to witness the Void's terror firsthand. When the Gate of Void opens here, on this continent, whether the Night Watchers, United Army, or these arrogant Ratmen, they will be reduced to dust under the invasion of the Void, becoming sacrificial testimony to the Void Power.

And he himself, although not having obtained land to settle his "master" in this grand war, at least has received the unreserved support of the Four Gods of Chaos, for example, he is now a key developmental focus of the Four Gods.

...

At this moment, inside the United Army's defense line.

A large number of refugees are currently divided into various excavation teams, embarking on an unprecedented excavation project.

A United Army soldier, rotated out for a short rest, is digging into the soil beneath him with his tool.

"Why were we hurriedly pulled in for this? Isn't it just digging a canal? Why the urgency?" He asked, puzzled.

When this project started, most people with some political acumen thought this was merely a means to appease the refugees, a work-for-relief initiative intended to prevent trouble during this critical time.

But unexpectedly, even those soldiers who should be resting were pulled in to dig, which was evidently not as simple as they initially imagined, but rather a highly significant project.

Just yesterday, while passing by a place, he saw that 3 kilometers from this site, a huge pit had been dug, along with a tunnel continuing to extend.

To him, it seemed like they were excavating a wide canal, relying on manpower, whilst ensuring progress, which was truly incomprehensible.

"Why ask so much? Better than facing those Ratmen and demons on the front line, we're not Night Watchers. Contributing here for peace is already quite good." His teammate beside him understood well enough, mumbling to himself while wielding his tool more vigorously.

"I know; I just find it strange. A refugee who came to relieve me said the pit looked terrifying."
