1036 All guilds must disband
After the group meeting, the core members of the Crimson Abyss guild quickly dispersed and went back to their individual units.
Since the opponent this time was low-leveled and easier to handle, word was passed around the guild members and many new people joined the training units in order to increase their level and improve their combat ability while this easy mode still lasted.
The entire guild was busily buzzing with activity.
The same could be seen happening all around the world as several red pillars had popped up in all sorts of places. While they were not as numerous at the beast portals, their frequency was definitely higher than the golden hills of the isons.
Also, this time rather than seeing these pillars as threat, the various guilds started looking at them as resources.
Crimson Abyss alone had two red pillars under their control as the guild now had an adjacent branch guild right next to them and had expanded their area of influence.
Alex along with Lan Deming oversaw all of the training units for an hour or so and then Alex headed over to the magic shop to take a look at the situation worldwide.
She was well aware that she was waiting for the other shoe to drop now so she did not want to miss out on any little detail no matter how insignificant it was.
After the isons, everyone was cautious about new creatures. By now even the most idiotic person could see that the isons became a huge threat only because they were given time to evolve.
So if a threat could be nipped in the bud, then it had to be done at all costs.
But this was easier said than done.
The undead creatures were extremely mysterious. No one knew how to destroy these red pillars of light which seemed to be portals of some kind or even what was coming next.
Stronger undead? Commander type that can order these undead? It was anyone's guess.
Alex walked over to the magic shop to take a look at the guild chatter to make sure that she did not miss any important details. She was hoping that perhaps someone in some part of the world had a better idea of what these things were.
However... when she opened the guild interface an entirely different disaster was playing out in front of her.
[This is an official government message: The current disaster has been contained. Now the insects are no longer present in our world.They have all been eradicated.
As an immediate action to prevent this from repeating again, all survivors are ordered to migrate to the nearest United Nations guild branch and register with the guild. The individual guilds are hereby ordered to disband. Those who fail to obey will be prosecuted harshly.]
[This is an official government message: The current disaster has been contained. Now the insects are no longer present in our world.
They have all been eradicated.....
The entire guild chat was repeatedly flooded with the same message.
"These fucking assholes!! Have they no shame?" Alex was furious.
What was more surprising than this was the behavior of the other guilds.
Oddly enough, the other guilds were rather silent even in this kind of situation. There was not a single word of discontent. It was almost as if they were afraid to speak up.
Alex sneered as she had no doubt why this was the case. "What a bunch of pathetic cowards!" She spat out.
She was pretty sure all of this was because of what happened in the grand war. None still understood what skill was used in that situation or even what went down there. So this kind of ignorance bred fear.
On top of it, if the United Nations higher-ups contacted individual guilds and assured them with some sort of bullshit like their sacrifice had meaning or some other similar nonsense, it would explain why everyone remained silent about it.
Besides, if someone did dare stand up, then they would only become a target. If the United Nations could get away with killing several people once, there was no stopping them from doing this kind of thing again.
They could simply challenge anyone to guild war and wreak havoc at their whim. So when an order was issued, who would dare raise their voice against the so-called government guild?
Moreover, it looked like the United Nations guild had already planned for something bigger, uniting all the human beings under one flagpost.
Especially, in a situation like this, unless someone had a death wish, they could only follow the order and obey the powerful guild.
"Damn it! This is too much!" Alex continued to repeatedly punch the desk in front of her.
She still did not know the full details, well actually any details but she was pretty sure that Liam had a lot to do with the disappearance of isons, at least a lot more than these posers.
And yet, she did not have any concrete proof that these assholes did not hold any actual power.
At this time, all she could was damage the desk in front of her and probably type a few harsh words in the guild chat. Both were equally useless.
"Hmmmm..." She stopped harming the poor wooden furniture and started chewing her lips wondering if there was anything she could do at the moment to stop these guilds from gaining any more power and influence.
It was soon going to be 24 hours since the Grand War had taken place and the announcements were already flooding the guild chat.
At this point, there was no more time to waste. She had to act now.
Otherwise, it might be too late. If the individual guilds lose their identity, then there was no going back.
"Damn it. Damn it. Damn it." She cursed out loud in frustration. She racked her brain but nothing was coming to her mind. There was really nothing she could do.
"Fuck it. Maybe I will just send a message." She decided in the end.
Impact or no impact, this was all that she could do.
She sucked in a big breath of air and started typing out how it was Crimson Abyss who had upgraded all the guilds, taken out most of the hive hills and lastly even cleared the red zones.
She also did not leave out the part about the human sacrifice that the United Nations guild had forced on everyone.
"Under no circumstance will Crimson Abyss disband and join a useless and corrupt guild like this!" She clicked her tongue, typing the last sentence and finishing her message.
Only she was hesitant to send it out because her words were basically meaningless without any concrete proof.
Otherwise, instead of having the effect she wanted, her message would only bring more ridicule to Crimson Abyss.
And when Liam woke up, he would come to this and it would be all because of her. "No. No. No." Alex shook her head. It would be way too embarrassing for her.
At the same time, she also had a duty....
Hmmm... Just as she was mulling over whether to do it or not, unexpectedly a voice sounded near her.
"I can help you with that."
Alex looked up to see the store manager Tilia standing next to her.
The fairy had silently arrived near her side without any warning.
Huh? Alex was confused.
"How can you help with that?"
Tilia flashed a smile. However, it was not the typical flirtatious smile that she offered Liam, this time it was a cunning mischievous smile.
"I have prepared a surprise gift for your guild leader. Since he is not here, I will just give you the surprise."
Huh? Alex was once again confused.
She watched as the fairy opened the system interface and started tapping away at something. The next second...
