A different world game? A different world game!

Cana's golden eyes swept over the solid blue light representing the forward defensive line on the tactical sand table.

The data halo swirled silently for a moment, then his voice rang out calmly and clearly.

"Last month's victory has solidified our position, but this is just the beginning. The abyss's counterattack will intensify over time, and the chaos will not cease with a single setback."

"To maintain the offensive and even further compress the demons' space, we need more 'fangs' that can tear through their defenses."

"Of course, we only need to maintain a defensive posture for now, but in order to truly break through later, we need to hide and accumulate strength."

He paused, then turned his gaze to the core commanders present.

"First of all, legendary-level combat power is the balance of the battlefield. The six newly added members are a good supplement, but not enough."

"I need the Night's Watch headquarters to continue selecting and deploying more legendaries who are skilled in warfare, especially those with special abilities against abyssal creatures. They will be the core of breaking through the demon lords' defenses and destroying key nodes."

“Secondly,” Cana’s voice carried a more targeted consideration, “we need a special force that can deal with abyssal demons more efficiently and with greater restraint than the regular Night Watch forces.”

“Regular warriors expend too much energy in the abyss environment. We need the ‘Purification Blade’, which is better adapted to this filthy land and can gain an absolute advantage in a war of attrition.”

Upon hearing this, Apis, who was standing to the side, immediately chimed in.

"Kana, regarding the special forces that can counter demons, the power of the Church of Holy Light is worth considering."

"Holy Light has a natural and significant purifying and suppressive effect on abyssal creatures, especially low- to mid-level demons."

"After the chaos caused by the evil god, there has always been a 'purification whip' combat sequence within the church. They have been clearing out cultists and occasionally leaking demons for many years and have rich combat experience."

"More importantly, many devout paladins and priests yearn to temper their faith and the power of the Holy Light in the Abyss, making it purer and more fervent."

"They have expressed their willingness to participate in the war on several occasions, but they have not yet given a formal response because the Abyss battlefield has always been the sole responsibility of the Night Watchers."

It's important to know that the chaos caused by the evil gods affected countless families.

Although many of them have already been absorbed into the Night's Watch and become prospective members.

However, quite a few have entered the Church of Holy Light, and they have grown over the years.

These people, whose families were destroyed due to the chaos caused by the evil god, are similar to the avengers in the abyss.

Even if they join the Church of Holy Light, even if they receive the blessings of Holy Light.

Their hearts still burned with rage, forged with holy light, and they became a warmonger towards evil.

The Church of the Holy Light and the Night's Watch have always had a very close relationship. The Night's Watch has honed their skills and knowledge through long battles in the Abyss, making them the first to know.

This group of warmongers was eager to join them.

After all, with the resolution of the chaos caused by the evil gods, the number of demons and cultists in the world could be drastically reduced.

Even though the Night's Watch had delegated this task entirely to them, it still wasn't enough for them to wipe them out.

She thought for a moment, then continued.

"Furthermore, we do have 'Abyss-specialized' units. Witchers, with demon blood flowing through their veins, possess a unique resistance to the corruption of the Abyss, and are even immune to the temptations of evil gods to fall."

"They are far more efficient than conventional troops in identifying demon species, tracking weaknesses, and using specially crafted alchemical weapons."

"They performed very well in the previous battles against the evil rats and the battle against the god of learning."

"Several demon hunter squads have already rotated through the Abyss and performed exceptionally well, especially in clearing demon altars and dealing with the souls of corrupted soldiers. The only problem is that their signature 'Ban' spell is not very effective in the Abyss."

The Witcher unit established during the War of the Rat was subordinate to the Night Watchers.

Most of these witcher units have actually been established as [Soul Keepers].

Their demonic bloodline makes them more powerful than beings of the same level.

However, they still possess some special abilities against demons.

Leilia frowned, her fingers unconsciously tapping the edge of the sand table.

"The Witcher is now defunct in name only, but the original members have become even more powerful, and their combat strength is beyond doubt."

"Their performance against evil creatures in the Tower of Trials proves their class advantage. But the problem lies in the Abyss environment itself."

"The deepest corruption and temptation are taking place here at all times. The demonic bloodline within them is like a time bomb."

"The gift of data can indeed provide powerful suppression and give them control far beyond that of ordinary demon bloodline holders, but this is a battlefield of blood, where the concentration of chaos is far greater than in the outer areas."

"If they are stationed there for a long time, or under extreme combat pressure, who can guarantee that their hatred and adherence to order can forever suppress the abyss's call to their bloodline? Once a fall occurs and betrays them, the consequences will be unimaginable."

This is a risk that absolutely exists.

She looked at Kana, her tone filled with concern: "This is a risk we must face squarely."

Because throughout the entire battlefield, about 70% of the beings with demonic bloodlines were corrupted by backstabbing.

This is the result of the interconnectedness of bloodline and environment.

So sometimes there's really no other way.

The conference room fell into a brief silence.

Kana's golden data stream accelerated deep within his pupils, seemingly assessing the pros and cons and probabilities of each option.

"The risks exist, but they are manageable."

Leilia finally broke the silence, her voice carrying the pragmatism characteristic of a frontline commander.

"In the short term, under the powerful suppression of the Night's Watch's blessings, and with their deep-seated hatred for demons, I believe the Witcher forces can maintain stability on the battlefield."

“Our plan,” she glanced at Kana, “is to achieve a decisive breakthrough in a short period of time with high intensity.”

"We don't need them to be stationed in the Abyss long-term, but rather as a 'spearhead' to be deployed in key battles, carrying out the most dangerous missions that require the most professional demon hunter skills."

"The rapid pace of the battle, combined with strict internal monitoring and rotation mechanisms, can minimize risks. Their efficiency is likely exactly what we need to achieve our goal of a swift victory."

Kana nodded slightly; Lelia's analysis closely matched the results of his data calculations.

He looked at Apis and Lelia. "Then, let's finalize the plan."

His voice became clear and direct again:
Legendary Reinforcements: Continue to request additional legendary combat power from the Night's Watch headquarters, prioritizing those with Abyss combat experience and large-scale purification abilities.

An expert in spatial containment or powerful physical armor/magic penetration.

The six existing legends should adapt to the environment as soon as possible and be incorporated into the core assault/support sequence.

Formal response to the Holy Light Church's "Cleaning Whip" request to join the war.

It is permitted to send an experienced elite combat force to Blood Pit Fortress.

They will be primarily deployed at key nodes of the defensive line for defensive purification, battlefield medical care, and to suppress and purify demon hordes during specific offensives.

Their faith tempering needs can be safely carried out within the Fortress Order Sanctuary during rotation and rest periods.

We mobilized three fully-staffed, top-performing Witcher teams from the main world.

They can be drawn from the Soul Guardian squad and reorganized as a temporary assault team.

After training them, let them go back first, and bring them back before the planned mission begins. Form them into elite hunting squads, specifically tasked with eliminating high-ranking demons or disrupting demonic ritual nodes.

In the final, rapid offensive, it acts as the spearhead, utilizing its resistance and precise strikes against the demons' weaknesses to tear apart their formation.

Ultimately, all teams must implement a strict rotation system.

After completing a high-intensity mission or guarding the Abyss for a full month, one must be forcibly rotated back to the main world to rest, undergo a comprehensive physical and mental examination, and receive blessing enhancements for no less than two weeks.

During mission breaks, activities within the fortress must be conducted in a monitored, specific area.

An internal monitoring team composed of high-ranking Night Watch commanders and mind priests was established to monitor the mental state of the Witcher forces in real time, and to immediately isolate and deal with any abnormal signs.

This mission is extremely important, and we cannot afford even the slightest loss.

All frontline combat units in the Abyss, including the newly transferred Church of the Holy Light and Witcher units.

A high-intensity rotation system is implemented to ensure that soldiers have sufficient time to recover in the fortified environment.

Logistics support has been prioritized again to ensure the uninterrupted supply of all special equipment and medicines, especially anti-pollution and stabilizing agents, as well as spare core components for the construct.

The engineering team is on standby to repair the defense line at any time.

"Combining the purification and suppression of the Holy Light with the efficient hunting of the Demon Hunters, along with our core Night Watch Chapter, allied forces from Bloodbath Fortress, and a continuous stream of legendary support, we form a comprehensive offensive force against the Abyss Demons."

Kana concluded, his golden gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"Execute this plan. Apis will be responsible for liaising with the Church of Holy Light and for the specific deployment, rotation, and monitoring of the Witcher forces."

"Lelia, coordinate the arrival of subsequent legendary combat forces and logistical reinforcements."

The instructions were clearly given, and the solemn atmosphere in the meeting room was replaced by a sense of pent-up energy.

On the blood-red chessboard of the abyss, new pieces have been placed, and an even more violent storm of order is brewing within the abyss.

…………

world.

Leviathan continent.

Underneath a former site of ruins.

The smell of decay and mold is the dominant theme of this underground kingdom.

A city that once belonged to the vast empire of the Rat Empire is now nothing but ruins and a silently twisted architectural skeleton that tells a story of madness.

A massive dome, supported by rough rock and unidentified metal, looms in the darkness, while sewage dripping from its cracks echoes monotonously in the silence.

The dim alchemical lamp was fixed to a rusty bracket on the wall, barely illuminating a small area, but making the darkness further away seem even deeper and thicker.

This is an underground kingdom that was once part of the Vulgar Empire; such ruins exist in many places on the continent of Lebia.

And to be honest, it's very difficult to clean.

Five figures moved silently through the dilapidated corridor.

They wore the standard dark gray uniforms of night watchmen, but their movements carried an unusual vigilance, like wild beasts sniffing out prey in polluted air.

It was a demon hunter squad belonging to the Night Watchers.

"Tsk, another rat hole."

A lean young man with a few shallow scars on his face kicked away a piece of bone with blasphemous symbols carved on it, his tone full of disgust.

His name is "Claw," and he has the blood of a low-level Shadow Demon flowing through his veins.

"Can't these stinking followers of evil gods find a sunny place to go crazy? Staying cooped up in places like this all day, even their bones will rot. After tracking them for days, the result might just be cleaning up a few pieces of trash."

"Alright, Claw, complaining won't help."

A burly man carrying a "Demon Hunter-II" magic-powered gun chimed in, his voice booming. He was "Rock".

The origin of his demonic bloodline is unknown; it is unclear which level of low-level demon he is, but it has endowed him with strength and tough skin far exceeding that of ordinary people.

"Isn't it better to relax? At least we don't have to fight non-stop every day like in the Rift or the New World. Cleaning up these brainless lunatics is like taking a walk. It's safe, and we still get the merit points."

He patted the cold gun barrel, "Just consider it a way to loosen up my 'old friend'."

"Hmph, 'taking a walk'?"

The only woman in the group, the tall and sharp-eyed "Nightingale," chuckled. She had a faint bloodline of the Night Owl Demon and exceptional hearing.

"I do miss the days when 'Fang' was around. Even though his mouth was more poisonous than sulfur, missions with him were at least exciting; you always ran into tough nut to crack. Unlike now..."

She sighed.

"It's a pity that they are so talented. They formed the Soul Guardian team with 'Iron Jaw' and others long ago. I heard that last week they wiped out a cult's hideout that was trying to summon abyssal worms on the Tauriel continent. Unlike us, we are still playing hide-and-seek with these rats in the stinking ditch."

Walking in the middle of the group, a young man who looked somewhat lazy and kept yawning spoke up:

"Sister Nightingale, I think Brother Rock is right."

He is "Sleepy," and his bloodline seems to be related to some kind of inert abyssal creature.

"What's wrong with being relaxed and safe? Look at the Abyss Front and the Bloodbath Fortress, I heard it's incredibly brutal."

"A new continent? Taliel finds it exciting, but who knows what ancient monsters might be lurking in those dwarven ruins?"

"This place is great. The tasks are simple, the merits are stable, and we can also clean up these disgusting things and purify the environment. How sacred! There's no more comfortable job than this."

He stretched comfortably, as if he were really enjoying a picnic.

"Comfortable?"

Claw curled his lip in disdain.

"Comfort is for the dead! Look at what's left in the Witcher force? The best ones have all gone to the Soul Keepers, or like Venom, they've been transferred to Taril."

"The rest are just a few of us, what's the difference between us and a regular night patrol team? We're just relying on our keen sense of smell and sensitivity to fel energy, aren't we?"
"But now all the evil gods have fled, leaving only these scattered soldiers whose evil power is pitifully weak, making them difficult to track down! I think in another two years, the 'demon hunter' organization will probably be abolished!"

Nightingale nodded in agreement: "That's right. I heard that the two squads that were transferred to Tahrir are bragging on the channel every day, saying that although it's chaotic there, there are also many opportunities."

"The artifacts unearthed from the ruins can be exchanged for great merit points, and every now and then you can run into real demon foes that have slipped out of the abyss rifts to practice on. It's much more exciting than scraping the ground here! I want to try my luck too!"

"You?" Sleepy lazily poured cold water on the idea. "Sister Nightingale, I'm not trying to discourage you, but Tariel's side is the 'front line.' If you don't have real skills, you won't even be able to run away when you encounter a tough opponent."

"Look at Venomous Fang and his team, they're all at the peak of level 10, they have great teamwork, excellent equipment, and Ironjaw is holding them up with his steel skin."

"As for us? Whether we are qualified or not is another matter. The higher-ups will not easily transfer members with 'special skills' like us to do the work of ordinary pioneer teams."

“If you’re not strong enough, you can train! It’s better than staying here…” Nightingale retorted defiantly.

This place is so boring. Every day is just tracking, tracking, tracking, and all we catch are disgusting but weak guys.

It feels like you're shoveling poop.

"Quiet!" The team leader, "Shadow," who had been walking at the front, silently observing the subtle scratches on the wall and the residual energy traces on the ground, suddenly shouted, interrupting the team's argument. (End of Chapter)
