Chapter 283: Cruel War
World of familiars.
One month after Mcgee’s return to the Alliance.
The fourth season was about to begin.
The spiritual energy that had been gushing out of the ground seemed to have been completely blocked overnight.
Familiars that had been absorbing spiritual energy for a living began to fall in large numbers.
Behind a huge rock, the two pirates were observing the situation in front of them and silently memorizing it.
Then, they told Mcgee about the situation.
“At the end of every season, when the season ends, the newly born familiars will die in large numbers.”
Mcgee came to this conclusion. Although it was very cruel, this was how the system did things.
They had already collected 49 fragments of the portal. They were just a little bit away from finding the location of the portal.
The people in the Alliance were very excited. All the missions of the Adventurers’ Guild had been taken away, and some people were still submitting missions.
In despair, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would summon up the courage to disregard everything. Humans relied on this belief to survive.
In the meeting hall of the castle, Kidd and a few researchers had sad expressions on their faces.
When they saw Mcgee enter, they stopped their discussion.
“What’s wrong?” Mcgee had only come to know the progress of the teleportation portal and the development of the Alliance.
Their attitude was obviously not right.
Kidd had a solemn expression. “Yesterday, the war between the last two Alliances ended.”
Mcgee almost forgot about the Alliance War. Although the war was very fierce, Mcgee had experienced an even more dangerous war after that, so this memory was diluted.
“And then?”
“There are eight Alliances, and now there are only two alliances left…”
“How could that be?” Mcgee had never cared about the situation of others, but his impression was that one of the two Alliances survived, so why were there only two Alliances left.
If the situation was true, the number of survivors was less than 200.
It was really cruel.
Kidd said, “I’m not sure about the specific situation, but I contacted my former friends, and they were in a stalemate with the other side.”
“At the beginning, they were just testing each other and did not completely break out into war. They even planned to negotiate with the other side.”
“But who would give up their own lives? As the war progressed, both sides gradually lost their patience… then, the conflict between them broke out completely.”
“The strength of both sides was almost the same. After a bloody battle, the leaders of both sides actually died together.”
Kidd sighed.
When one side knew that they could not survive, they would obviously choose to fight to the death.
If it were not for the huge difference in strength between Mcgee and Shui Yue, Water Moon Alliance would probably do the same thing.
“Forget it.” Although Mcgee did not feel much, he still felt a little regretful.
They had already started to develop the Alliance, so why could not they spend time studying the Adventurers’ Guild and researching ways to survive together.
“Could it be that the other four Alliances are the same?”Mcgee thought that there were still two Alliances that survived. In other words, there was still one pair that chose to perish together.
As for the Alliance that survived… If nothing went wrong, they would be their next opponent.
“Yes.”
“How do you know all this?” Mcgee realized that there were almost no users on the world channel anymore. The continuous battles had destroyed people’s will.
“The people who originally went on the survival mission with me for the second season are now living in the remaining Alliances. It’s just that their main force has been completely wiped out. There are less than 10 people left.”
Mcgee already understood what he meant.
In reality, the Alliance War no longer existed. An Alliance with less than 10 people was no different from an unspecialized player.
The reason why they were looking for Kidd was to find an opportunity to join Mcgee’s Alliance.
Originally, they thought there were about 200 survivors. Now, it looked like there were only about 100 people…
The survival game was indeed too tragic.
“Tell your friend to come to our Alliance and mark the location for him.” Mcgee was not worried that the other party would come to spy on him or cause trouble.
In such a world, strength was the only thing.
“Okay.” Kidd was already having a headache about how to tell Mcgee about the incident. From all the actions, mcgee was definitely not a soft-hearted person. He did not expect him to agree so readily.
“In addition, we need to step up the search mission for the fragment of the portal. We are only one fragment away.”
“Boss, I want to talk to you alone for a moment.”
The two of them came to the outside of the castle. Kidd took out a fragment from his dimensional pocket.
It was the last fragment of the portal.
“This…?” Mcgee did not understand what Kidd meant.
“Boss, to be honest, I have held this fragment in my hands for a long time.”
Unlike Mcgee, Kidd was a manager. He had the ability to be in charge, but at the same time, he was a little black-bellied.
“I think we should take a private look at what the portal is, and then make a decision.”
Even if it was a portal back to Earth, if more than 100 people lined up, and the portal did not last long…
There would definitely be a bloody conflict.
People were selfish.
Just a moment ago, Kidd was still thinking about his friend, but he turned around and hid the fragment of the portal. This made Mcgee feel that his words and actions were inconsistent, and he was not particularly trustworthy.
As for why he called Mcgee, it was because Kidd felt that if there were enemies on the way to open the portal, he could not deal with them alone.
“Okay.” Mcgee was not a pedantic person.
All the fragments of the portal were kept in his hands. He took them out.
When the 50 fragments of the portal were gathered together, a map appeared in Mcgee’s hands.
It was the map of the familiar world. Less than 100 kilometers away from Mcgee Alliance, an orange symbol of the portal appeared.
Was that the portal?!
Mcgee and Kidd boarded the airship and flew toward the location of the teleportation portal.
…
They arrived at the location marked on the map.
Although the teleportation portal was marked here, they could not see anything with their naked eyes.
“Strange…” Mcgee looked at the ground and compared it with the coordinates given by the system. It was about a meter away from the teleportation portal.
However, there was nothing but grass there.
“Do we need a special item to summon the teleportation portal?” Kidd had also completed an Adventurers’ Guild quest before.
“There’s no reason.” Mcgee took out the map of the teleportation portal again. The location was right, so it could be…
“Could the teleportation portal be underground?”
If they needed a special activation condition, the system should have notified them.
However, the map would only give the coordinates and ignore the vertical axis.
Although it was not certain, they decided to give it a try.
Kidd’s strength was average, but after Mcgee had strengthened his strength, he was able to excavate the land very quickly.
They did not bring any familiars with them this time, so they could only rely on themselves.
