A different world game? A different world game!

In a certain war zone, a group of victors are riding their warhorses across the battlefield.

"Haha, those cowards from the Kingdom of Teber are no match for us!"

"That's right, with their cowardice, how can they occupy such a rich land?"

"Maybe this mountain will become my territory someday."

"Hahaha, you wish! How many did you kill last time? I slaughtered six!" A knight boasted triumphantly, riding his warhorse with an air of arrogance.

Their operations over the past few days have been remarkably smooth, completely crushing the enemy forces on the main battlefield. At this moment, the routed enemy soldiers are fleeing in disarray. This vast area is essentially considered their occupied territory.

"Alright, everyone, perk up! Those who tried to escape might do something desperate." The captain gave the order.

The others, though still laughing and joking, toned it down a bit and adopted a more serious demeanor.

"Is there a village ahead?"

"This is a great opportunity to make some money, hehe."

Two hundred soldiers followed behind them. The captain knew in his heart that it was impossible not to let his men plunder the village. After all, it would boost morale, and since this was enemy territory, it was "normal" for the soldiers to act recklessly.

Just as he was about to give the order, his adjutant whispered a reminder: "You'd better keep them in check. Looting is allowed, but not massacres."

“These are nothing but lowly people, and enemy lowly people at that. As long as they don’t resist, I believe my soldiers will spare their lives.” The captain said, then turned to the others and asked, “Isn’t that right?”

"That's right, haha!"

"As long as they serve me well, I promise I won't kill them!"

That makes sense.

Seeing this, the adjutant silently shut his mouth.

"I warned you beforehand."

"Hmph, you coward who's never seen blood. Just stand by and watch with your compassionate heart, hahaha," a knight sneered.

This adjutant had only been transferred to their unit recently, and he was always bossing everyone around, which everyone had had enough of.

The group quickly arrived at the edge of the village. Their arrival plunged the entire village into chaos.

"Brothers, rush!"

The cavalry, with their soldiers behind them, surged into the village like a tidal wave.

The lieutenant reined in his horse and stopped outside the village, silently turning his gaze elsewhere. He then noticed two knights who hadn't participated in the operation, but had stopped with him nearby.

"Why don't you go in with them? They might ostracize you, and that could be fatal on the battlefield," the adjutant asked.

One of the knights chuckled and replied, "I'm not like those ignorant brutes." He then pointed to his companion beside him, "This fellow has aspired to be a member of the Night's Watch since he was a child, and he's very upright."

He laughed gleefully, "What a pity, he didn't die at the hands of the enemy, but in a few days he might die at the hands of his own executioners. How ironic."

“This is the consequence they deserve for their evil deeds,” another knight said calmly. “You’re really stubborn. It’s only because the Night’s Watch won the war that we have to listen to them now that they are powerful.”

Upon hearing this, the principled knight became somewhat displeased: "Shouldn't we obey? What does war have to do with these already suffering civilians? Unprovoked slaughter should be prohibited. Is there anything wrong with the Night's Watch's regulations on this matter?"

"Don't get agitated. I didn't say there's anything wrong with the rule. I'm just saying that the reason we follow it is because the Night's Watch has the strongest fists."

In the past, although the Night's Watch had a rule against excessively harming civilians, in reality, not many people were willing to strictly abide by it. At most, people were more restrained, and there were no more extreme situations like massacring entire cities and exterminating entire clans. They would not implicate thousands of innocent people because of personal hatred and anger.

However, large-scale casualties caused by various acts of looting are still difficult to avoid.

For each nation, simply restraining its soldiers to some extent is already considered extremely generous. Ultimately, it's about avoiding a complete falling out with everyone, and the Night's Watch does provide some financial and logistical support. Since there are free benefits to be had, why not simply reduce the amount of slaughter?

However, after the war in Lebia ended, well-informed and influential people quickly learned about the situation.

Now that the Night's Watch has emerged from that war, their greatest threat has been eliminated. Although the specific details of that war are unclear, it is said that those who know the inside story have quickly adjusted their strategies.

The message was clear: never do anything to provoke the Night's Watch.

The Night's Watch had always hoped to reduce the impact of the war on civilians, and now they were seeing immediate results. Moreover, this time the Night's Watch took drastic measures to rectify the situation.

Under these circumstances, going to the village to plunder indiscriminately would be asking for trouble.

Although it's uncertain whether the Night's Watch will know about these things, in order to avoid provoking them and also to make an example of them, it's essential to catch the typical case.

"You're from the Tver family, right? I've heard your family has close ties with the Night's Watch. Do you have any inside information?" a knight asked curiously.

The lieutenant glanced at him and said indifferently, "The so-called close relationship is nothing more than my family having some regular business dealings with the Night's Watch caravans."

"That's still much better than us, isn't it?"

"Then let me tell you. All I know is that the Night's Watch won the war in Leviathan. It is said that dragons, demons, and even several evil gods from a thousand years ago appeared on the battlefield."

And those guys the Night's Watch has been attacking also have an evil god backing them up.

The leader of the Night's Watch severely wounded these evil gods on the battlefield and even executed their leader. Now, the leader of the Night's Watch is recognized as the strongest being in the world.

Legend has it that nearly ten million enemies were annihilated on the final battlefield. This war not only solved the rat infestation on the continent of Lebia, but also directly eliminated the harm brought by the evil god.

Upon hearing this, the knight couldn't help but interrupt, asking with a face full of doubt, "If there is no threat from the evil god, then what is the purpose of the Night's Watch? Weren't they formed to fight against the evil god?"

“That’s not right. They were formed to prepare for the apocalypse,” the knight next to him said directly.

"Isn't the ultimate consequence of an evil god the end of the world?"

They were unable to answer this question immediately.

Clearly, while the two knights knew something about the Night's Watch, their knowledge was limited.

Faced with the two's probing gazes, the adjutant said nothing more, only muttering in a low voice, "According to the elders in my family, the harm caused by evil gods has never been the main point; it's just the prelude to the end of the world."

"The Night's Watch has never considered eliminating the threat of evil gods as their primary goal; those are merely obstacles they must clear in their path. As for what the end of the world will actually look like, I have no idea." (End of Chapter)
