Chapter 293: Blood Sunset in the Tropics Finale

Ethan sharpened his gaze forward. Arthur had come with his team members and city soldiers, while Ethan stood with only Sera at his side.

He was certain that Redemption Sword was the guild ranked first. Defeating Arthur would mean obtaining all of their Core Crystals.

However, that was not the main issue. Ethan was thinking about Sera and her servant cooldown, which had only one hour remaining.

A battle against Arthur would be heavy, long, and dangerous. One hour was not a long time.

It was not only Sera and Arthur that Ethan had to consider, but also all the team members Arthur had brought. They were at the same level as LionArk, or perhaps even higher.

Ethan could fight them, but once again, it would be troublesome.

Arthur narrowed his eyes and stepped forward alone, without being accompanied by his team. He needed to discuss something with Ethan.

“Fighting you is extremely risky. My team and I could be wiped out,” Arthur said.

“You came in perfect condition. I clearly don’t want this fight either,” Ethan replied.

“It seems we can agree on a ceasefire. How about it?”

“What’s your condition?” Ethan asked.

Arthur smiled, standing tall with his armor firmly attached to his body. “I heard that a transmigration token will be given to every city once the event reaches twenty days.”

“With that token, you can move your city to any location you want, whether it’s the tropical region or the desert.”

Ethan fell silent. He had read about that on the event panel before the event began. It did exist and was provided to every city.

Once used, the transmigration token would be permanently consumed. The chance to relocate a city would be gone forever.

“How about we define our territories and wage war using city soldiers instead?” Arthur suggested.

“Which territory do you want to take?” Arthur asked.

Arthur was letting him choose which territory he would take. That was strange.

Ethan glanced around. The tropical region was extremely promising, rich in food resources. However, it did not have many rare materials.

The desert was the opposite—abundant in rare materials, but lacking in food resources.

If Arthur did not intend to compete with him over the tropical region, then it was clear that his target was the desert.

“Let me help you think it through,” Arthur said, gesturing for Ethan to look around. “The tropical region is rich in—”

“No.”

Arthur turned to him, eyes narrowing. “No?”

“The Eastern Alliance will take the desert.”

The man in front of Ethan was silent for a moment, then burst into loud laughter, followed by laughter from the Redemption Sword team members.

“Is his brain broken? He’s choosing an empty desert over a tropical region that’s cool, comfortable, and full of food.”

“No doubt about it. He really is stupid.”

Arthur’s laughter stopped, and he nodded his head. Ethan and LionArk would take the desert region, while Redemption Sword and Scavenger would take the tropical region.

An agreement was formed. A ceasefire would remain in effect until the migration was completed.

As long as the transmigration had not yet taken place, no members of either alliance were allowed to attack each other.

Redemption Sword was an honorable guild, the most respected across the entire game.

In Ethan’s view, Arthur’s words were something he could trust.

“It seems our agreement is complete. I’ll inform my alliance members. You should do the same,” Arthur said.

“What is the punishment for anyone who breaks the agreement?” Ethan asked.

“I will personally punish them.”

Ethan narrowed his eyes, then nodded in agreement. He trusted Arthur. Their long rivalry had built a sense of mutual trust through competition.

Arthur was an honorable man. He would not break his word.

“We’re leaving!” Arthur declared, turning around and walking away.

His hand was clenched into a fist, his face serious, his brow furrowed. The tropical region was clearly not the territory he truly wanted.

It lacked rare materials, and the process of recruiting soldiers would take a long time.

He was worried that the number of soldiers in their alliance would be fewer than those of LionArk’s Eastern Alliance.

Elsewhere, Ethan flew away from the area with Sera’s power. His destination was not the desert region, but Ascalon.

Only Ascalon remained as a city belonging to a permanent member of the Eastern Alliance. Star Shield had been defeated, and Ethan did not know the location of Trident Sea.

He flew at full speed, racing against the remaining cooldown time on Sera. Lyodra could not lend her power to Sera, and she was not as flexible as Sera or Luna.

Ethan did not want to use Luna. That would put him at a disadvantage, even though a ceasefire had been established.

After fifteen minutes of high-speed flight, Ethan finally arrived above the skies of Ascalon City.

Many people immediately recognized Ethan, but quite a few of them shuddered in fear when they saw his LionArk uniform, stained with blood.

Kevin walked out of the Town Center, clearly seeing Ethan flying low and landing in the city center. Ethan’s appearance alone was enough to frighten him.

“Sir Ethan? What happened?” Kevin asked.

Ethan glanced calmly at Kevin. “I’ve destroyed many cities and killed many players.”

“I can see that. Many red city dots have disappeared from the map,” Kevin replied.

The man nodded. He explained that he did not have much time left. Kevin nodded in understanding and listened without commenting.

“Arthur from Redemption Sword and I have agreed to a ceasefire between our two alliances.”

“The tropical region will be theirs. The Eastern Alliance will take the desert.”

Kevin looked shocked. Avalon was part of the Eastern Alliance.

Ethan explained that every city belonging to the Eastern Alliance was required to use their transmigration token and move to the desert region, in accordance with the agreement between him and Arthur.

However, the reaction from the Avalon team members was clearly different.

They were confused and shocked, never expecting to give up their comfortable life in the tropical region because of such an agreement.

Kevin did not object. LionArk had helped him seize Porco City, a debt he could never repay.

Simply listening to Ethan was the only way he could return the favor.

“I understand.”

“Spread my message to every city in the Eastern Alliance. Do not start a war against any city from the Blood Ink River Alliance.”

Sera whispered softly into Ethan’s ear, “Thirty minutes left, Ethan.”

Ethan nodded. Kevin then asked an important question.

“What if they refuse to migrate?” Kevin asked.

“Then I’ll consider them traitors. I will destroy them, and their cities in this game world as well.”
