Chapter 741 The Government Takes Action

"Damn it. This is the fifth time I died. What sort of a crappy event is this! We cannot run, we cannot hide and we cannot log out! Was this event just created so that we could die?"

"Bro, at least it's the fifth time for you. I am here at fifteen. I have seriously had enough of this shit. After this, I am going to log out and not come back."

"Yup, better to do my boring day job than play this goddamned game and die like a dog. This is ridiculous."

"Guys! Guys! I heard from my friends that the beast horde in the Gresh Kingdom is a lot more manageable. The teleportation hall is still working. Many players are teleporting to Yleka city."

"Oh shit! This is good news! What are we waiting for? Let's go."

"Ah… but… if we kill the beasts there, we won't get any points. Only if we kill them in our guild's kingdom we can get points."

"Huh? That's too bad but I don't give a shit! Bitch, right now I just don't want to die!"

"That's right. These idiot guilds can suck it. How could the big leaders underestimate an event like this? They should have cared about our safety and made more preparations."

"Ya. I was anyways thinking of leaving this shitty guild and joining Crimson Abyss or Battle Gods. This is a perfect opportunity!"

Several players came to the same conclusion as the crowd around each Kingdom's teleportation halls was starting to build up. When the guilds strictly opposed this action, many players directly quit their respective guilds.

The tension because of the mounting death tolls was not so easily diffused. Their very own lives were at stake at the moment, so even some small guilds decided to give up on the event altogether and run to the Gresh Kingdom to save their lives.

Meanwhile, the other guilds that were too big to give up their pride were all struggling.

"Fucking Crimson Abyss! How are you cheating? Give us the method!"

'',

"They are truly vicious and heartless! So many people are dying! How can they still be hiding this secret cheat? Shouldn't they share it with everyone?"

"Right! They have at least this much responsibility to the world. How could they not care about their countrymen? The government should do something about them!"

"Ban the guild! They shouldn't be allowed to play the game! Arrest the players who are part of the guild and put them in jail!"

"Yes! Yes! The government needs to take action. There need to be consequences for this."

The disgruntled players started sending several death threats to Alex and the other known celebrities of Crimson Abyss. As the death toll kept increasing, this commotion and chaos only became worse.

Weirdly, a few minutes later, these same players started running over to Gresh Kingdom and even applied for Crimson Abyss membership in the midst of the event.

The number of deserters was continuously growing and every single Kingdom except for the Gresh Kingdom plunged into utter disarray. Only a few notable guilds like Battle Gods were still able to keep the situation under control and somewhat stabilize.

At this time, another unexpected event happened. A set of new guilds started to rear their heads and come up in ranking. These guilds also had very specific names, notably, the USA, Russia, Canada, China, Japan, Germany, India, and so on.

It was almost as if the governments of the world had made a united decision and used this special event to kickstart their respective guilds.

Especially at a time of unrest like this, the players who were struggling and only barely clinging to their lives immediately deflected to these new guilds in the hope that government would offer protection.

Coincidentally, this plan actually worked. All the players who wore the government guild tabards seemed to be well organized and holding down their zones pretty well. If one looked closely, one could see that these players were in fact highly skilled and definitely not your average group.

All of their movements, weapon usage, and combat abilities were top-notch. They were also attacking the beasts surrounding them and overwhelming them fearlessly. There was no hesitation or cowardice in their eyes.

From this, it wasn't too difficult to guess who these players were. Only trained army soldiers were capable of such a feat.

It was almost as if all the nations across the world unanimously decided to take action today and unleash all these trained soldiers into the game at the same time or at least publicize this fact at the same time.

'Visit (Mybo x novel. com) to read, pls!',

It was impossible for something like this to happen on the spot. This response to the event was definitely preplanned. However, no one cared about this. As long as they could obtain some protection, they were already satisfied.

These special guild members also excelled in giving out orders to other random players so slowly by slowly the situation was getting under control at least in some sectors of the main cities.

Meanwhile… the situation in Gresh Kingdom was also far from optimal. The players in this Kingdom were facing another kind of issue. There were no longer enough beasts in the main cities!

Thanks to the deserters from other kingdoms running to the main cities in the Gresh Kingdom and a certain someone, the beast horde was actually becoming thinner and thinner.

Players were barely dying anymore and even PVP fights between small groups started breaking out in parts of cities.

This would have been good news except that Crimson Abyss was leading the ranking board with a whopping unimaginable lead.

And now that there were no more beasts, how could the other guilds overcome this difference and fight back?

While everywhere else the various guilds were still competing with each other fiercely for the top rank, in Gresh Kingdom, the current top guilds might as well sit down and relax because they had nothing to do.

They had lost the event without even playing it!

They still could venture out of the city walls and fight the beasts in the wild but at this point, that would be equivalent to suicide.

Inside the cities, everything was organized and a huge player base was there to tackle the horde but outside it was still a free for all.

Everyone had the courage and competitive spirit but they didn't have the confidence to bring their guild outside and face the full force of the horde.

So unable to do either this or that, the players in the Gresh Kingdom were literally hanging out and chatting, leisurely killing the one or two beasts that crossed their path.

"Damn you! Crimson Abyss!"
